Hello one & all to this episode of the Mentele & The Hayes podcast. Another night out on the town, #2 of this second season & Betsy is already forgetting the new grading system. On a rainy Monday night in Los Angeles Matt & Betsy ventured downtown to the LA Live & surrounding areas. Starting the night off at a historic Los Angeles landmark, a place that claims to never have close since it’s opening in 1924, we have The Original Pantry Cafe. “If you’re a diner & you don’t serve breakfast all day, just close.” Next on the tour of downtown was a bar that is best described as “a punk bar without the punk rock attitude” the Slippery Clutch. Then rounding out the night with a little Honky Tonk at (according to Google) a handsome destination for craft beer served in refined, dark-wood-heavy, vintage surrounds, plus DJs, The Monty Bar. Was this a successful night out? Is an old fashioned better when it’s premade? Does the rain actually make Los Angelians melt like the wicked witch of the west? Tune in to find out. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mentele-and-the-hayes/support
Time for the song of the day folks! Today we have a lesser known band, but no less killer, Electric Six with their 2003 hit “Gay Bar”. This band, originally from Detroit, rose to fame in the same year as this song along with the help of Mr. Jack White. Described as “nonsensicle for the most part” - Matt Mentele & “Let’s go to a gay bar, let’s have the time of our lives” - Betsy Hayes. Don't worry, you'll learn the words in no time. So strap in and grab your strap on because Electric 6 has got something to put in you, this straight up banger. #GoHaveADance & like the Mentele & The Hayes Party Playlist on spotify. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mentele-and-the-hayes/support
Another episode of the Song Of The Day is here and if you don’t know this one, what are you doing? Off of the 2000 album Stankonia, we present: OutKast’s “Ms. Jackson”. Ranked #55 on Rolling Stone’s best of the decade, this song is “good for everything” - Matt Mentele. Are we tired of hearing it? Is OutKast overrated? Who is Erykah Badu? A few things to ponder as you turn up The Mentele & The Hayes Song Of The Day Party Playlist and #GoHaveADance to this classic banger. I am for real. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mentele-and-the-hayes/support
Does Kendrick Lamar have the highest approval rating in music right now? Matt & Betsy think so. Welcome to the Mentele & The Hayes Podcast with their newest segment *Song of the day*. Everyday Matt and Betsy will visit one song from Matt's legendary "DJ Scribble D" party playlist to discuss danceability, relevance to today, and whether or not it should remain on said playlist (hint: not all of them do). Today's song is Kendrick Lamar's HUMBLE. “I heard this at a low end theory night, the week it came out, I didn’t know what it was, the crowd lost their shit, everybody was dancing, and I was like who is this who is this? This is an amazing song.” - Matt Mentele #GoHaveADance --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mentele-and-the-hayes/support
