Phil and Jake are joined by Efrem Schulz, a friend of the pod-- and vocalist for Death By Stereo, Voodoo Glow Skulls and Manic Hispanic-- to stack the whack of the the List of Every Damn Thing by ranking “Weird Al” Yankovic, the 1987 comedy film Spaceballs, and Warner Bros large-graphic cartoon t-shirts.Find Efrem on Twitter (@Efbystereo) and Instagram (@efbystereo). Check the brand-new Voodoo Glow Skulls album Livin’ the Apocalypse! Also check out the Fight For Columbia bandcamp compilation.VOTE HERE to help choose which item on the List of Every Damn Thing should be re-ranked in an upcoming episode (you can vote once a day).If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net (or get at us on Twitter and Instagram).SHOW NOTES: It doesn’t come up in our conversation, but Efrem recorded the episode from his shop Programme Skate & Sound in Fullerton, CA.  Efrem also plays bass in the Danzig / Misfits tribute band Dirty Black Summer. Grammar authorities say both “champing at the bit” and “chomping at the bit” are fine to use. Jake was wrong about how to write Weird Al’s name. The quotes go around “Weird Al” not just “Weird”. Weird, right? Weird Al songs (and videos) discussed include “Eat It”, “White & Nerdy”, “Tacky”, “Amish Paradise”, “Fat” and “Lasagna”. And of course we couldn’t skip his polka medleys (including “The Hamilton Polka”). Efrem tells a story about bonding over Weird Al with George Rebelo from Hot Water Music. George is a great guy and amazing drummer. Hot Water Music is one of the best bands ever. Chamillionaire retired from rapping and is now a venture capitalist in Santa Monica. Here he is over a John Tesh sample and here he is on an extremely 2005 Scott Storch beat. People forget his breakout hit was about racial profiling. We couldn’t find footage online of the MTV show Death By Stereo did with Coolio, but here’s an old post on punknews.org that proves it happened. Roast battle champion Mike Lawrence has a take on Spaceballs similar to Phil's wife's. We discuss the works of Mel Brooks, including Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles and Robin Hood: Men In Tights. Rick Moranis is at his best in Ghostbusters. Bill Pullman is at his best in Independence Day. He belongs in the air. We name-check lots of cartoon characters that one might find on an oversized t-shirt, including Taz, Betty Boop, Tweety Bird, Elmer Fudd and Foghorn Leghorn. There’s also mention of Yosemite Sam mudflaps. Phil & Jake both looked for evidence of Michael Bivins wearing WB merchandise, and couldn't find it. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It might be that he was too grown-up by the time these shirts came about.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music from the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach CA! ** This interview was recorded prior to the COVID-19 pandemic ** With his emotional and gravel-coated bellow, vocalist/guitarist Chuck Ragan made a name for himself as one-fourth of the much-loved Gainesville post-hardcore outfit Hot Water Music before releasing his first solo album in 2007. Alongside friends Chris Wollard, Jason Black, and George Rebelo, Ragan formed Hot Water Music in the early '90s. Through a slew of well-received albums for labels like No Idea, Doghouse, and Epitaph -- and an incessant grassroots touring regime -- the passionate crew turned itself into a highly respected and influential act on the underground scene. Outside of his main gig, Ragan also recorded two side albums with some friends, including the stripped-down rock of Rumbleseat and the punk-oriented Cro(w)s. In the spring of 2005, Hot Water Music went on an indefinite hiatus, largely spurred by Ragan's desire to spend time outside of the band with his growing family. The group's other members went on playing music together (soon forming the Draft), while Ragan concentrated on his home life and, eventually, writing some acoustic-based material. Hot Water Music officially closed up shop in May 2006, and Ragan began playing various shows solo, logging time by the year's end alongside acts like Dustin Kensrue, Flogging Molly, the Lawrence Arms, Rob Huddleston, and Tim Barry. Ragan (who was a carpenter by day) signed with California indie SideOneDummy Records in early 2007 for the May release of his intimate debut, Los Feliz. Recorded live on February 19, 2007 at Tangiers in Los Feliz, California, the album features Ragan armed with just an acoustic guitar and harmonica, and occasionally joined on-stage by Ted Hutt and Jon Gaunt. Ragan also set up a "singles club" with his buddies at No Idea, sending subscribers a new 7" (six total) every month or so from September 2006 to June 2007. In 2008 Ragan launched the Revival Tour, a long-running, internationally acclaimed acoustic collaboration that's featured a revolving door of talented musicians from the alt-country, bluegrass, and punk scenes over the years. He released his second solo outing, Gold Country, the following year and the Christopher Thorn-produced Covering Ground in 2011, and reunited with Hot Water Music in 2012 for the album Exister. Till Midnight, his fourth solo long-player, followed in early 2014. A year later he and songwriter Rocky Voltolato released a split EP entitled Kindred Spirit on Side One Dummy. ~ Corey Apar, Rovi We want to hear from you!

We had the pleasure of interviewing The Bouncing Souls over Zoom!  An iconic American punk band whose roots lie in New Brunswick in New Jersey. They are a band of four composed of Greg Attonito, Pete Steinkopf, Bryan Kienlen, and George Rebelo. The year 1989 was when The Bouncing Souls formed. They were recognized in the punk-rock scene in the music industry with their heart driven in writing, playing, and recording songs that are light-hearted. Their love for music started in the midst of their high school years. In college, the idea eventually faded but over the years, they decided to recreate the idea. As they engage in the music scene, they play in clubs around their hometown. This opportunity flourished as their fan base continued to grow. Not only did it build its reputation as a local band, but it also helped the other starting bands gain an audience by opening up for their gigs. The name of the band was well thought originated from the slogan of Doc Martens’ shoes which is “with bouncing souls”.The first album that they released is The Good, The Bad, and The Argyle that was released in the year of 1994 under Chunksaah Records, their own founded record label. This debut album is composed of their different released EPs compiled all together. Two of the most listened to tracks on the album are titled Candy and What Boys Like. In preparation for something bigger, in 1996, they released their second album titled Maniacal Laughter. This became a door of opportunities for The Bouncing Souls to go on tour in collaboration with the Youth Brigade. https://www.facebook.com/bouncingsouls/https://www.bouncingsouls.com/https://open.spotify.com/artist/3mvTAjG7rcyk7DQzLwauzVhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKD_-0EgLEybUmD8ThnVK5QWe want to hear from you!

We had the opportunity to interview The Bouncing Souls! Purchase their new book and EP: https://www.bouncingsouls.com/ "It’s tough because, you know, people are going to tell you they know something, but nobody knows s--t." - Greg Attonito It would be easy for The Bouncing Souls to rest on their laurels when celebrating their 30th anniversary. After all, over those past three decades, the New Jersey punks have released ten full-length albums, toured all around the globe, and become one of the most respected bands of their scene. It would have been easy to sling together a selection of their best known work, write a new song or two, and hit the road for a nostalgia tour. But that’s not who the Bouncing Souls are and it’s not who they’ve ever been. Instead the four-piece—vocalist Greg Attonito, guitarist Pete Steinkopf and bassist Bryan Kienlen, who started the band in 1989, and were joined by drummer George Rebelo in 2013—decided to share Crucial Moments with the world. The new six-song EP captures who the band are now, and its accompanying book looks back on who they were and where they came from. “We all loved how it worked as a 30 year concept,” says Attonito, “Because it encompasses everything— the personal moments that we have with ourselves and how we’ve grown in life, and also the bigger picture where we’ve had these special moments interacting with people who love our music.” The band started collecting what Attonito terms “snapshots” from friends and fans about the role, however large or small, that the Souls had played in their lives. They soon realized that an actual narrative was emerging, one that could trace the impact they’d had over their three decades, cobbled together from all those “crucial moments.”Attonito explains, “One of the conversations we had at the very beginning was to not just make it about us. We’ve talked about ourselves for 30 years – so let’s let everyone else that cares enough tell our story. We wanted it to be primarily fan stories, as well as bands and friends – they know our story because our songs are telling our story. We collected them for over a year and it was such a treat, it’s unreal how meaningful it is.” Recorded by Will Yip in August of 2018, the six-track Crucial Moments EP captures the same youthful abandon that has defined the Bouncing Souls since their very early days. And this energy shows no signs of diminishing: the EP also showcases a highly experienced band that’s still excited to grow. These songs are a wholehearted, fully-realized part of the Bouncing Souls canon, offering the winning familiarity of the band’s most defining traits and bolstered by a career’s worth of expertise. “Crucial Moments” and “Favorite Everything” are full of the romantic innocence that flows through the bands most wistful and nostalgic songs—that imperative sense that life is something to be experienced right now because if you don’t you may never get another chance. That’s also true of the chugging lament of “Home”, a slow but defiant anthem that explodes both wistfully and hopefully at the end. Elsewhere, “1989" is a breakneck, boisterous quasi-hardcore song that, musically at least, could have been written that very year. While the lyrics are a bit more wistful than, say, “I Like Your Mom”, from the band's 1994’s debut, The Good, The Bad, And The Argyle, it’s clear that despite 30 years of change, this is the same band at heart. “Really, we’re still the same kids that wrote ‘I Like Your Mom’ and we’ll still crack a mom joke just like we were 17,” laughs Attonito. “But that’s why I value it so much. I’m going to be 50 soon and I don’t see many 50-year-old people around me with that instant bud spirit connection to their oldest friends. What really makes me so proud and appreciative is living all these years and seeing all that we’ve been through since high school – becoming business partners, going on tour 10 months a year, getting girlfriends and having relationships break up, and getting married, and keeping it all going. Having our relationships with each other survive through all those things and all those years is really an achievement.” You can hear that bond in these six songs and you can relive their journey through the stories and photographs contained in the book. But you can also see and hear that same bond forging forward into the future. Yes, there’s nostalgia here but this is anything but a nostalgia trip. It’s the sound of a band who are still head over heels in love with what they do, who possess the same energy and passion that has always driven them, and who show absolutely no signs of slowing down. “What’s fun is that the creative spark that was happening when we were in high school is still there,” Attonito says. "That, to me, is probably one of the most magical things I have in my life, and now that I’ve lived this long, I see how rare that is for anyone — especially in music. We’ve made bonds with people around the world that you’d never imagine or dream of when you’re a 17 year old kid from New Jersey in the ’80s. There was no internet and there was no chance of making money being in a punk band. It’s hard to explain it to people because the world we live in now is so different. It’s hard to remember how extreme it was then. We’re eons away from that and I’m so grateful that I’ve been through that journey and for what I’ve learned, and what I’ve been able to get for my heart and to give, too. I don’t know how I can imagine my life being more gratifying than that.” Credits: Theme Song: Scott Russo Design: Oscar Rodriguez Photo: Danny Clinch We want to hear from you!
