Unknown Speaker 1:26
Have you guys seen the movie barbarian?
Unknown Speaker 1:28
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Loved it.
Unknown Speaker 1:30
Kaley. Have you seen it? I
Unknown Speaker 1:32
have no idea what that is.
Roxie 1:35
It's a horror film. And I don't think it was ever in theaters.
Unknown Speaker 1:38
You didn't pronounce horror very? No. It's a horror film. Harbor. Yeah. It's kind of like Uber or film horror film. Gotcha.
Kayleigh 1:48
You made it sound like a prostitute film. A lady of the night. Sex lady
Jim 1:53
of the night. of the underground dungeons of Detroit.
Unknown Speaker 1:59
Um, I felt like it was three movies in one. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 2:02
Did you feel that way? Okay, so, like Tarantino ish.
Roxie 2:05
But the reason why I'm bringing it up, is because it ties into directly something that we've discussed on this podcast. And only if you knew the tidbit of information that we talked about, would you be able to put that all together? So at the very end of the movie, they play a song. It might be the only song that gets played during the whole movie.
Kayleigh 2:28
Is it a song we've discussed? Yes. Okay. Uh huh. Mambo number five.
Roxie 2:34
Speaking of which, shops all over the place.
Unknown Speaker 2:38
Can I get away from it?
Jim 2:39
Does it have anything to do with Phil Spector and Ronnie? Murder of Mark Ronnie?
Unknown Speaker 2:44
I'm nodding my head.
Unknown Speaker 2:46
You're not moving, but
Unknown Speaker 2:49
I wasn't. And I stopped and I Why don't you just say yes. Like you were watching a horror. Do you recall with the last song was I don't Okay. No. It sounds It'd
Unknown Speaker 3:03
be my baby. Oh, yeah. Ding
Unknown Speaker 3:05
ding ding ding.
Unknown Speaker 3:06
It is me my baby, the
Roxie 3:08
original recover the original. Okay, of course. And what you see, Danny, that song has two, two meanings to the movie. So watch the movie. And you'll see. Check him out. But it's on Hulu. So everyone who's listening. We've got that. Watch it before the next episode release.
Jim 3:30
It's really good. I was kind of freaked out. There's a couple scenes where I was like, that was awesome.
Kayleigh 3:36
Was it a made for Hulu movie?
Jim 3:40
No, it I think it came out on HBO Max when it wasn't really Max and not just max.
Kayleigh 3:48
And not on like HBO proper on like when HBO Max was just releasing some digital, correct? Yeah, it's now all under the maximum brella okay, it's all very confusing.
Roxie 3:59
Yeah, I didn't even know that. But well, we can jump to bomb Mambo number five. That is just everywhere now. So
Kayleigh 4:07
I saw that story. It was I think it was stereo GM posted it from Rolling Stone. Like it wasn't even a Rolling Stone feature. Like it was obviously a Rolling Stone article, but it wasn't them featuring that part of the interview. But sometimes Rolling Stone will write an article like not in dialogue, not in the interview question and then just straight answer. This was written where you read the question and got Stephen King's answer.
Jim 4:36
Yes, it was an interview with Stephen King. Speaking of horror, I guess that ties in Yeah.
Roxie 4:42
Oh, this is the horror episode because Halloween is coming up.
Kayleigh 4:47
So the question is, I have to ask, I hear you're a huge fan of Mambo number five by lubega. And Stephen King's response. Oh yeah. Big time my wife threatened to do force me I play that a lot. I had the dance mix, I loved those extended play things. And I played both sides of it. And one of them was just total instrumental and I played that thing until my wife just said one more time and I'm gonna fucking leave you follow up question, what were you writing at the time? I think probably 1122 63. But when I write there are a lot of things I can listen to a lot. And a lot of it's techno stuff or disco stuff, but techno in particular, there's this group called LCD sound system and I love that. Connected Do you have from reality? So, you know, this group LCD Soundsystem Yeah, instrumental Mambo number five, understand
Jim 5:39
that how that would like, inspire you to write horror literature?
Roxie 5:44
Well, I'm gonna know how that interviewer have a little tidbit of information.
Kayleigh 5:48
Yeah. And I didn't go and read the entire Rolling Stone article. I doubt that. But after after it, like landed on my feet, and I sent it to you guys. It ended up everywhere, like a week later. Like every single person picked it up. And then there's like, you thought you sent the follow up stuff of like Snoop Dogg. And it was
Jim 6:05
a meme about like, Snoop Dogg has only said one person has ever out smoked him. And it was a picture of Stephen King. The image of him listening to number number five over and over, stoned out of his mind was just so hilarious to me.
Roxie 6:19
Well, I told you guys about the timeline of things. Because I was like, I mentioned Stephen King's accident, which was like nearly fatal, and I was like, Well, you probably smoked a lot of pot while he was doing really strong stuff with much harder drugs he was doing like a lot of pain remediation was some pot and then it was like actually that's not that accident happened around the same time that Mambo number five came out it was like two months between the accident and the release us so I'm imagining he's like in a full body cast can't move and he just
Jim 6:53
maybe he was in like some sort of unconscious state and then they played it or it was on the on the radio in his hospital room and it kind of got planted in his brain
Roxie 7:03
I would have a horror book idea for him. Core book idea,
Kayleigh 7:08
but I would not have the patience of his wife. It was probably a lot of playing that she was like you got to turn it off. And it's like did headphones which is probably some sort of like sensory thing to write and like blah blah blah, but it would not take that much repetition before I'm like, cut it the fuck off.
Jim 7:30
Yeah, if I were her I'd be scared out of my mind. It's like if you didn't have this outlet to write all this horrifying crap like how else would you what else is your other outlet? Just straight up murder.
Roxie 7:39
You know when he was before? Like this huge novelist I could be wrong. I think he was a high school teacher.
Kayleigh 7:49
That kind of aligns though I could see like a teacher wanting to become a writer. Yeah,
Roxie 7:53
I'm I thought he would like be doing heroin while he was like in class and stuff. Maybe I'm wrong.
Kayleigh 7:58
The other thing in timeliness was what Jim found that
Roxie 8:03
somebody found a diamond. Yeah, so Park Are you seriously big one 2.95 days after we recorded they set it on NPR and I was like, okay, and I don't I totally forgot the dimension it tickets because I was driving and then you found it online?
Jim 8:20
Yeah, I It's crazy. I feel like we speak these things into existence. We don't understand the manifest. The only thing that listening to our podcast is the universe. Nobody else
Kayleigh 8:33
maybe we're omniscient. We just don't know it. We haven't tapped into it yet. Yeah, we're
Jim 8:37
burning incense. Yeah. type of witchcraft going on down this basement.
Kayleigh 8:44
Incense just smells good. Yeah, sure. Sure. Well, I'm Kayleigh I'm Roxie I'm Jim is this song prescription? It felt like we were just rolling right into follow up facts so we might as well introduce ourselves and the podcast so yeah, this is Song prescription where people come to us with their requests their needs their ailments their once and we give them songs for that and playlist and we fix it. We give we give them what they asked for.

Roxie 10:04
Yep, so every song that we discussed gets uploaded to the playlist which is
Kayleigh 10:08
99% of them. So as we've mentioned ones and if they're like really tertiary they don't yet okay, good point, but if they're relative, yeah.
Roxie 10:17
Or will, they could just end up in the episode guide. So like things that we mentioned, memes, movies, all that stuff will reference him there.
Kayleigh 10:27
So I just mentioned follow up facts because we were just kind of like rolling into stuff we had talked about before. But we got we got a follow up facts to the last episode
Roxie 10:42
back to episode nine, I believe it was it was called back to school blues. And a friend of ours wrote in her name is Kate and she signed her prescription request with yours truly your biggest fan, Kate.
Unknown Speaker 11:00
Oh, like Eminem? Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 11:02
did you get that?
Kayleigh 11:03
I did not. I wish you trying to be like, like Stan. Here. But did she tell you that or did you just are you drawing that?
Unknown Speaker 11:10
She told me okay, that's funny.
Speaker 4 11:16
One, I know you probably hear this every day, but I'm your biggest fan. I even got the underground sit that you did with scam. I got a room full of your posters. Then your pictures man. I like to sit you did with Trump and to fully get posters. Then you take just man. I like to sit you did with traffic through let's see what's bad. Anyways, I hope you get this man hit me back just the chat over yours. Biggest Fan? This this is game.
Roxie 11:43
Yeah, but I'm various that that's such a famous line. And none of us picked it up when we read it. But you never had to. She did say that that she was she was standing there.
Jim 11:53
I didn't I really didn't know what Stan meant for a long time. And this just recently came into the vernacular of people. I think it was just a couple of years. Yeah, word for a big fan of something.
Roxie 12:04
Yeah. But the origins to that song specifically. Correct. Okay, so last episode, we said we would save the origin story of the band name Sylvan so, So Vanessa, is named after a character in a old iOS game called Super brothers sword and Sworcery EP. Schwartz super brothers. Yeah, not
Unknown Speaker 12:28
to be mistaken.
Unknown Speaker 12:31
And then there was a question of how to poison frogs meat.
Roxie 12:38
Use a process called and Plexus and it's when the male graphs with females back and whenever and to visualize this grasps the females back with his front legs and fertilizes her egg as she lays them. This can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. So I guess there's no actual
Kayleigh 12:56
insertion. Oh, well, there's no penetration
Jim 13:02
I think the power of their legs humping doesn't lend itself well to just the anatomy of a frog. It would just be like
Kayleigh 13:11
the visual I got there is like little section or B
Roxie 13:14
hands like mounting holding on for quite possibly days. So wonder why they have to do it like right then and there. Like maybe the eggs only have so much time. It's
Kayleigh 13:24
probably some sort of evolutionary thing kind of like how the the sea turtles have to like barium and then when they hatch, they all die because things come and eat them. So yeah, it's probably some sort of evolutionary thing. Um,
Roxie 13:39
so last week, we talked about the song Truly, Madly Deeply, which was originally performed by Savage Garden, and then later was covered by yoke lore. And the original song came out in 1997. And it reached number one in Australia, Canada and the United States. And then folklore covered in 2017. So it was like Oh, was it a 20 year anniversary type of thing.
Kayleigh 14:01
You just call them folklore hips. Yoke lore, and that's actually one of my follow up facts, but I just kept like, aptly calling him yoke because that's a habit of mine. His name is Adrian like he has a name that's my that's just as artists name.
Roxie 14:18
And that's how I got there. But oh, which do you like the cover more or the original?
Kayleigh 14:23
They serve different purposes for me. I think I was never like a massive Savage Garden fan. I obviously know the hitch and maybe that yeah, maybe that one that one album. I'm sure I had. But the that kind of doesn't age for me if that makes sense. Like if I heard it now. I'd be like, Oh, okay, cool, like fun nostalgia for like 30 seconds and then I'd be satisfied. Where I like, I like yoga floors, reinterpretation of it with the banjo and just style. So it was refreshing. I'm not sure I would really choose either. At any time, if that makes sense but yeah, so my follow up facts aren't anything really fun it was it was yokes name being Adrian Galvin. I also got plain lady's name wrong. I called her Tiffany govan's. It's it's go moss or Gomez. G O M A S. So it was like, way to really stick in my brain there lady. And then I also mispronounced I didn't know this until I was making the playlists. Alex had given us one of the songs as a listener note. Yeah, as a listener submission. She didn't give it to us as an acronym. But she put it as like NY E. And I just I went like Taylor Swift like New Year's Eve and things like that. The song is actually called nine. Oh, okay. Yeah,
Unknown Speaker 15:53
I was like I interesting. This is my follow effects. Cool.
Jim 15:58
Sweet. King Tut's boobs. I did a lot of reading after we talked about this.
Unknown Speaker 16:05
What do you call it, Jim?
Jim 16:08
Yeah, research purposes only. But he's depicted in all these statues as having boobs. Yeah. So yeah, I don't know if it was an I think that there was a God that they had worshipped and obviously the king of Egypt is also a pharaoh who so they're very tied to the religious aspect of things as well. So I think it was I'm really actually freestyling this right now, because my follow up bag just says King Tut's boobs and I'm supposed to talk about it and recollect what I read on the internet, like two weeks ago. But essentially, I think it was just his likeness was portrayed to, I guess, capture this masculine and feminine depiction of whatever they thought God was or look like some sort of sun god.
Roxie 17:02
So I read that too. And I was like, or did they just try and make the narrative fit the physique?
Jim 17:10
Yeah, I just can't imagine that. Breast tissue would still be intact 1000s of years, you know?
Roxie 17:17
Well, that's why I wonder if they can tell from the DNA. I also read that he had a clubbed foot and buck teeth and I was like, Oh my God, they're really just digging into this.
Unknown Speaker 17:29
Cheese. It's no Cleopatra.
Unknown Speaker 17:34
Maybe barbarian.
Jim 17:39
spree was something that I that I looked up, it is the sprit, I still don't know how to pronounce it. But there are two Chinese characters after a spree which are pronounced Kung Jeong, I believe, which translates to fantasy. So as brief fantasy, maybe, I don't know. But it's George Clinton's different moniker for some other electronic album that he released. And then you wanted me to define vaporwave, which I botched and vaporwave is a micro genre of electronic music, a sub genre of hauntology, a visual art style and an Internet meme that emerged in the early 2000s hence, so we're going back way early in the days of memes. To find his partly by its slowed down chopped and screwed samples of smooth jazz 1970s, elevator music, r&b and lounge music from the 1980s and 1990s. It's a whole subculture. It apparently originated as an ironic variant of Chu wave, evolving from hypnagogic pop. I guess it's just like psych pop, as well as similar retro revivalist and post internet motifs that had become fashionable in underground digital music and art scenes of the era, such as tumblers See, punk. Okay, so Jesus Christ, what was I was I going to go into all these things? Because I mean, I said hauntology hypnagogic pop, are these all in your, in your notes? Yeah. And then the last thing was the Moog. I said it was the birthplace was in North Carolina. That was wrong. It's headquartered in North Carolina. But Robert Moog invented the Moog synthesizer as a doctoral candidate in at the University of Cornell. And it was created in the 60s and there were synthesized before but they use vacuum tubes. And the move uses silicon transistors. So it's a different type of, I guess, equipment. But it gained popularity, and was brought to the mainstream by switched on Bach, released in 1968, a best selling album of Bach compositions arranged for the MOOCs synthesizer by Wendy Carlos. So it was a Johann Sebastian Bach, I guess translation into synth music and then it gained popularity. And it was adopted by the doors and Grateful Dead and Rolling Stones Beatles for a lot of their albums in the late 60s and early 70s.
Kayleigh 20:19
I feel like that switched on Bach. Like that you that brought back like weird childhood memories. Like we must have done it in school at some point or like, listen to it, or I don't I don't know what it's wild. Like that title rings a bell to me. Yeah,
Roxie 20:36
there's a podcast called switched on pop. Yeah.
Jim 20:39
But it's a real electronic Baroque album as studio album, as released by Columbia Records in the LP format. And this episode is all about LPS in their physical form. So I thought that would be a good good to go into the description for scratch.
Kayleigh 21:28
Yes, so this came from a listener, and it says, Dear song prescribers. I'm a mom of a toddler due soon with baby number two. And also recently moved. I strategically placed my record player in the dining room because I have this idea that when my kids are older, we can rotate turns choosing a record to listen to a dinner. Problem is my record collection is currently very limited. I would love a playlist where I build my collection, or maybe to inspire my collection. I'm thinking about things that help introduce the kids to a variety of music, while also being a good mood tempo for sitting around the dinner table as a family helped me make sure my kids grow up in a music rich environment, please. A que Well, Megan, aka Makey. See,
Jim 22:13
Jesus Christ, I did not get that much detail when I was building this out, so maybe I go last year or in the middle, maybe I could have used a lot of that sub text.
Kayleigh 22:31
I pulled this from our group text. Okay. Well, currently pulled the screenshot.
Jim 22:37
Maybe I just went to the Instagram story that you posted. Because it was like, it was like a very summarized version, because I
Kayleigh 22:43
can only type so much. But yeah, the i i also don't want to say I forgot a lot of these details, but I just got really excited about records and like albums and in my brain. I always take these prescriptions and seem to rewrite them in like what I think my expectation of them is. And it's like, cool if I was starting a record collection to introduce my family to as they grow up. What would you want to be in it? And and I started there,
Unknown Speaker 23:14
she's starting a collection now. Well,
Kayleigh 23:16
she just says that she has it's currently very limited. So she's kind
Jim 23:21
of in the beginning stages. Yeah, I'd pull for maybe larvae what what stage of the frogs metamorphosis is she at and then
Kayleigh 23:29
I felt then I felt very comforted that my record player also sits in my dining room so felt close to home. I don't have any, any little children running around to grow up on stuff. But yeah,
Jim 23:43
I thought that was that was cool and admirable. Absolutely bring back this outdated technology and have her kids listen to it. It's so funny. Now nowadays kids when they like imitated they're on the phone, they just put their palms to their ear and for us it was like the pinky in the thumb. And I wonder what they're gonna say about music like play a song it was just be like, depressing a button on their poem probably. Yeah, but yeah, it's a good idea.
Kayleigh 24:13
I do I mean, records have made a complete resurgence like I don't shop for records the way that I used to because I don't feel like they definitely still exist but I don't feel like records. Old records are as easy to go like filter through anymore where before everybody started pressing every new release album on vinyl. And like that's what all the record stores carry. Now you used to be able to just walk in and like flip through used records and maybe find something really good for really cheap that's what a lot of my my collections very split it's very, very old things that I randomly found at like farmers markets or basement stores. And then it's everything else that I know and love that I would buy new on vinyl. Any record that I would want to own in like my Physical Touch collection that I would listen to more than just digitally.
Jim 25:05
Yeah, and there is something magical about just vinyl in general and just taking out the sleeve, putting it on the turntable putting on the needle it's it's much more satisfying than just pressing a piece of glass on your iPhone. Yeah. And
Kayleigh 25:21
then like the the cracks and the Pops even on a new press vinyl like it's that still exist. It's it's really, really cool technology. When you think about it. Like when I don't have my turntable hooked up to a speaker, the speaker is not on, you hear the music reading literally just like needle to vinyl, which is makes my head spin around on my head. Kinda
Jim 25:43
gramophone, right? Thomas Edison shit. Yeah. Very old technology. And I think we should put on the episode guide. Some sort of explanation on how it actually works, because it's really fun to read about. Yeah. And we're not going to bore you to death here.
Unknown Speaker 26:01
Up on the episode game. Um, but
Jim 26:05
sorry, there. Yeah, if she's just starting, I think the world is your oyster. Really? And there's no, I don't think there's many rules to it. But you should get a setup that you like. There's a couple of ways to do it. I think you can get like, turntable is definitely one.
Unknown Speaker 26:25
I think she already has she already has.
Jim 26:28
But does she have a receiver? Yeah, powered speakers and non powered speakers? preamps? Does she want a subwoofer? Like, how are you going to wire it all together. And it all depends on you know, what your listening experience is. I personally have a receiver and unpowered speakers. And they're like, really old, I got them from my parents from from their old like, vinyl setup. And I have just not changed it because I just like the way that it sounds when I play it. So I don't know, you should do some research and maybe not spend too much money because you can spend a lot of money this is a very expensive habit. And
Kayleigh 27:07
it is a very it is an investment and it's gonna bankrupt you, you got to I mean, I'm sure we all have stories like this, but I have stories of both like my mom's collection growing up my dad's collection growing up their parents collections. And like, I wish I had all of those right now. And like the people that get to inherit theirs, even if they want to just like handpick through them. Like, that's really cool. There's a lot of records that I own now that like, I know people in my family owned at one point in time, and I had to like go out and find them and buy them again, for myself. But it also opened up a whole different world of listening to music for me, because I bought about the albums that I know and love about the albums that I grew up on. But then I even started listening to other albums that I probably wouldn't just go to on Spotify and listen to or that I wouldn't have bought on like CD, but are really cool if they're just in a $5 bin and you're like, there's no reason that I don't need to own Wayland greatest hits album, and then I listened to it. And I really appreciate it and, and there's a whole other element of listening to some classics.
Jim 28:13
Yeah, and sometimes you can go to a record store without any intention of buying anything. And maybe just ask people that work there. I mean, they're sorting these records every day, they know where everything is, you don't want to spend hours searching for it yourself. They usually have a really good music taste, people that work in your stores. So I would defer to them sometimes, and they're a good resource as well.
Kayleigh 28:35
And that's the best feeling in my opinion, I have I have some of my favorite stores in different cities that every time I go to those towns, I want to go to the store, but I have to be prepared to spend like $200 and walk out with maybe six things. But there's a lot of people I think and I don't want to say there's a right or wrong way. But there's a lot of people now who probably just buy their records on like, cool, it's a new release, I'm going to buy it on Amazon and get it shipped from home. And that's it's not the same feeling like it's it's so fun and exciting to go get even even an old record feel so physically different from a new record, just in the quality and the thickness of the gram. And now Now we would go down that
Jim 29:17
because people used to smoke and roundness of the of the cover, and the paper and every Yeah, and
Kayleigh 29:25
all of that kind of deteriorates and warps and the records themselves are like half is thin. All right, so this is my I can never find it. I have looked everywhere to buy it. Maybe not even original pressing. But old album. I think it is a timeless album. And I think that everybody should own it in some capacity, even if it's not on vinyl, but the album Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys. Nice. And I mean it's everything. Wouldn't it be nice As you would know, you know literally all the songs on it so let's let's listen to it
