Short filmTranscript
00:00We played last night, and right now we're going to Atlantic Records, the CEO, 20 years the CEO,
00:06we're going to Atlantic Records right now and see if we can get a record deal.
00:09It's crazy. You gotta try.
00:34And the road becomes my pride I am stripped of all but pride
00:41So in her I do confide On the beaten path I bring
00:49Robo-monger, nomad, vagabond Call me what to wear
00:58Forever I may go
01:05Forever I may go
01:14Never in a million years did I think I would be in a desert doing On the Roam, but I
01:20mean, hey, it's On the Roam.
01:21We're about three hours outside Abu Dhabi, finishing up Dune, and we're going to talk about a little band called
01:30the Bobby Leaves. Hit it.
01:36I'll put the needle down a few, you start to enter in my bowl
01:42Howling my body out so you can have a temporary hole
01:48Howling that spirit in the bowl
01:50Today in the studio we have the Bobby Leaves all the way from Woodstock, New York
01:54We're going to have a live set with the Bobby Leaves
01:57Record by a band called the Bobby Leaves. It's called Skinsuit. It's really, really interesting
02:02How about the Bobby Leaves? They're currently on tour in the U.S.
02:06They're coming to the U.K. at the end of June
02:08They're going to play Europe and Debbie Harry says check out the Bobby Leaves. The future is minimal proto slash
02:15punk
02:16So here are the Bobby Leaves with Hollywood Junkyard
02:23Truth of it is I love music and so I found the Bobby Leaves on Instagram. I thought they were
02:28unbelievable
02:29I listened to the music and I just saw them touring around the world and I would just kind of
02:33miss them everywhere I went
02:35So come and find me in Hollywood Junkyard
02:38I'm gonna be a star
02:42No, yeah, come and find me with my eyes like diamond
02:50My name is Sam. I sing in a band called the Bobby Leaves
02:53I'm Nick Casa. I play lead guitar for the Bobby Leaves
02:57My name's Kendall Wind. I play bass
02:59Mackie Bowman
03:00And I play drums for the Bobby Leaves
03:05I didn't know much about the music industry
03:07So I was a little naive to everything
03:10You just see them and you're like, oh, everything's fine. They're doing great. They're touring
03:13They're constantly, you know, obviously they're doing well for themselves and it's just like we can't do this anymore
03:17We met, what, it was like three days ago
03:19I invited you to the tower
03:20Yeah
03:21We walked in, you were like crouched over shirtless
03:25Kind of just like, just like you obviously just got into your hotel room
03:57Come out there
03:59They put out this thing, which I'll read in a little bit, but they put out this little
04:02What do you call it? It's just a
04:04Statement?
04:04Statement, yeah
04:06My band posted something letting our people that follow us know why we were going to be taking a break
04:12And a break that we weren't sure how long it could be like a permanent break or
04:41They've been doing it for so long that it's just, they're not making money, it's just the tour and it's
04:45just, it's really, really challenging
04:47And I was like, fuck, they're going to end
04:49And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, so I just, I like sent a, I sent a DM to
04:54them
04:54I was like, hey, can I just talk to you
04:56I had a feeling that some, usually when you put out that kind of energy, like you, something returns
05:00And I had a feeling someone was going to reach out
05:02I did not think it was going to be Jason Momoa
05:05Um, but, you know, I was like, here's a kind person with, uh, who likes our music and wants to
05:11help
05:12I'm going to help them make the record and then we're going to go fucking kick down some doors
05:17Give him a record deal
05:18He's got to put it out there
05:19And I'm like, well, I'm going to give it my best try because I just, I think it's just the
05:23right thing to do
05:27I've always been the one in the band that's, um, booking the shows, like pushing, just
05:32We want to work with this producer, I'm going to send him 20 emails until he finally reaches back
05:38I had always, like, wanted to play with people, but I was too scared
05:42I just had, I was, I don't know, I was freaked out, too scared, I thought my ideas weren't good
05:49And so it was kind of like chipping away at that fear and, like, just keep, I kept doing it
05:54I also read a book called The Artist's Way by Julian Cameron
05:57And that totally changed my life, I just did what she said to do
06:01And it was weird, I finished it and then I met Kendall and Mackie, like, a month later
06:09We had a couple different guitar players at first
06:12But it only clicked when Nick, who is Kendall's stepbrother
06:16He came to our first show and once that happened, then it was, um, kind of, we all were like,
06:23this is all we want to do
06:26There's so many friends I have that are musicians that it's just like, I know it's really, really hard
06:31Just like the acting is, but, but it makes you wonder, you know, would Nirvana, like, some of these bands
06:37How would they, how would they make it today?
06:40Bob Dylan, for Christ's sake, like, I mean, like, how, how some of your favorites, like, would they have
06:44been what they are if they came out today?
06:51And I don't know
06:53But, I feel like something's gotta give a little bit, you know
07:00Is that happening before it's time to actually do the work, ever?
07:04No, you're psyched
07:05No, I'm gonna honestly cry
07:06I get really emotional
07:08Really?
07:08I get really emotional, I get really fucking, my gut, if I can make my guts off, I'm really emotional
07:13I get to a place where I want to go home and get in bed and cancel the show
07:17And not, that's always, and sometimes I get emotional, like, I wish I didn't have to do this, I wish
07:22I didn't have to do this
07:23And then I pray to all my favorite people, like, Little Richard and Bo Diddley, and I'm like, please give
07:29me the energy
07:30It was so cool in Woodstock, and it's the hometown heroes, so it was just an honor, and being able
07:36to walk around the town with them
07:37Meet their family, it was really cool
07:49They're losing it, they're losing it, you see
07:51Just keep your fingers crossed and watch the TV
07:55They're walking single file, football, but you're free
07:58They got them all, but they ain't got me
08:07I say, sure, they're big names
08:10Oh!
08:11Oh!
08:14Oh!
08:14Oh!
08:15Oh!
08:16Oh!
08:18Oh!
08:19Oh!
11:35I need music to get me up.
11:36That's like, I can't take like a pill or whatever.
11:40I listen to a song and I'm just, it's magic.
11:44Like I, it totally can change my mood.
11:47It's, it's, so yeah, to not, to say that that has no value anymore.
11:51That feels like, it's sad, it's really fucked up.
11:55So, Jason basically was like, how can I help?
12:03What, what does a band like you need?
12:06I said, I don't know.
12:08From where we sat, we thought, oh, I guess you need a major label deal.
12:12And I said, yeah, I think that helps because they get it out to more people.
12:17He came on the phone like a superhero and was like, I'm going to try it all.
12:21I'm going to, you know, try to, try to do it all.
12:24It felt like an adventure from when he called till now of, okay, let's see what happens.
12:58This is amazing.
13:05When Jason brought us into the Atlantic, part of me was super excited because we'd never
13:10had access to a major label before, but also he had me read the letter and I was like, this
13:15is weird because it's not like I'm going to touch him by reading this letter.
13:19Something's going to click like, raise the Spotify rate.
13:22The reason that the major label acts can sustain is because they have private deals with Spotify,
13:28whereas anyone that's not on a major like us, they pay you 0.004 cents a play.
13:37I think the unfortunate thing what we've seen is if people have the option to not pay,
13:42they're not going to pay.
13:44I've thought a lot about it, talked to a lot of bands on the road about it, and it feels
13:47like the crux of the issue is that they're just, the value isn't there.
13:51So any kid growing up right now, they don't think it's worth anything because it's free.
13:56I would have liked things to have went a certain way, but yeah, like I still had hopes for it.
14:02I still had the energy.
14:03Obviously, the band probably felt a little different.
14:04They were maybe like it couldn't happen, but I don't know.
14:07I've had the door shut on me and fell into so many holes, had to dig myself out of them
14:14that I just feel like I'm not going to take no for an answer.
14:17And let's just, you know, talent is talent, and they got it.
14:20And I feel like you just got to find the right people.
14:22When we play, it feels really good still.
14:24I mean, when you hear people like singing your words back to you,
14:27hopefully your music's like helping them.
14:30Something is clearly wrong if you're selling out shows like 500 Cap Rooms in New York and LA
14:36and touring the world, and how are you not able to make like a minimum wage living or sustain?
14:42For Bellevue, for instance, like we toured that record for 18 months.
14:45We had a million plays.
14:46We made $4,000 from touring it for 18 months.
14:51You know, no one wants to work for free at this point.
14:54It feels like, I hate to use the word disrespectful,
14:56but I feel like at a certain point when you're grinding it out and you're touring,
14:59you're like, this feels wrong.
15:01Like I'm giving this much.
15:03I feel so depleted.
15:06I feel like a lot of people feel this like deep yearning for something that they think is their purpose,
15:11that they really want this kind of like, I have to have it.
15:14I don't feel that way anymore, which is kind of really nice.
15:18Because it got painful, like wanting the band to be successful, wanting.
15:23And now I just feel kind of like it's kind of out of our hands.
15:26I mean, we show up, we play every show like it's our last show.
15:30We need a shift where like, yeah, it's just, it's too much of a grind.
15:37We just have to stop for a while and we're not sure if we're going to be back.
15:46I don't know, I, I, I, my gut says it's not a never doing it again thing, but I have
15:52no idea.
15:53I really, it's kind of liberating to have no fucking clue.
15:57I know that feeling.
15:58I work a lot and, and you definitely can be drained and you don't get the best of you.
16:07I think they were like, all right, we need like some time.
16:11And I think everyone just had to like step away from everything for a while.
16:49I don't remember how to play it really, I think.
16:52Yeah, you do.
16:53This is how I bring songs too.
16:54I'm like, I think it's these three chords.
16:57I'm like, I think it's these three chords.
17:24Yeah.
17:25Yeah.
17:31Watching them right on the spot.
17:33Watching them, you know, like just watching the song come together.
17:38You know, like, everything had changed, they're coming back, they had rest, some of the band
17:43members went out and toured for a little bit, they came back with songs, and we got into
17:48the studio, it was lightning in a bottle.
17:57That was a beautiful part of this journey together to be with them and like watch it
18:01just kind of go, all right, we're doing this.
18:05That little bit of time off, I came back, yeah, they were like, ready to rock, they were
18:10ready to go.
18:20Something like that, that's cool, that was awesome, that was awesome.
18:49What's up everybody?
18:50What's going on?
18:51It's been a year, it's been a year, right, since I've seen you guys, almost a year,
18:56and I'm just curious to know where everyone is with their lives right now, how you feeling,
19:04and yeah, it's kind of what's going on, I just want to hear from each one of you, and
19:07like, and also like getting back together, because you guys probably haven't seen each
19:10other in a year too.
19:10Yeah.
19:12Yeah.
19:12We got back a month ago, and we said let's start writing because of your generosity and
19:19this opportunity to make another record, and it was weird because we got together and in
19:24two weeks wrote like 14 songs, which is more, you usually take, you know, over time.
19:30We usually take a month to write five songs.
19:33So it was, I think, I don't know.
19:36I think we had something to get out of us.
19:38We had, you know, had to come out.
19:40Yeah.
19:41I think we're excited to do some things differently, you know.
19:45I think that, I think like, because we were like laughing a lot in the rehearsals, and I
19:49think it's just because we were letting ourselves just do things that we wouldn't normally do,
19:53and it was nice to like, just be free in that way.
19:57So I think everybody's excited for that.
20:04The fact that it was a, it's been a year pretty much since we were in Woodstock is,
20:09it's incredible, like I can't even believe how fast time flew by.
20:15Yeah, over the past year it's been crazy.
20:18It's been a lot of doubt.
20:19It's been a lot of hope.
20:21Dealing with, you know, taking a break and like, it was very emotional.
20:26And it felt like a grieving process.
20:29It kind of felt like a breakup or something and it was really strange.
20:33Like I actually kind of feel like I was a kid when, you know, we took a break and I
20:38feel like I'm an adult now.
20:40I quickly realized over this last year that this band means so much to me.
20:46It's like always going to be a huge part of me.
20:48But, but it was nice to actually get the chance to realize that there's a whole world outside of it.
20:56It's like a relationship being in a band where it's like, it's, you lose yourself in it.
21:00You know what I mean?
21:00You forget what, you know, you are as an individual outside of it.
21:04So I think getting, getting this year away has helped me kind of remember why I like to make stuff.
21:13During the time off, I did have time to, there were some moments of like, can I be okay without
21:19this?
21:20And I can't, I have to be making something.
21:24I get very depressed if I'm just consuming other people's work.
21:31Like, I'm driven by music.
21:32I mean, that's like, that's the ultimate art point for me.
21:35That's what I write to.
21:36That's what I like, I use to inspire me in every shape, form.
21:39Like, I love music.
21:42I just had this idea, like just talking to them going like, well, like, can you just do it one
21:47more time?
21:48Like, just let's take one more shot at it.
21:50I really want to help support.
21:51I don't know much about the industry, but I think maybe I could open some doors or maybe some people
21:55you can produce with.
21:56Would you guys do another album? And they entertained it.
22:00When they said, yes, they want to do it.
22:02I was going to back it to the end because I just believe in this.
22:05I believe in that.
22:07No, I found it.
22:10The birds are with you.
22:12Uh, where are we?
22:14Los Angeles, California.
22:16What are you guys hoping to get out of this?
22:19Songs, good ones, hopefully.
22:22A record we're proud of.
22:23Do you guys have, do you ever have like any sort of, um, nerves going into the recordings?
22:30Today I feel nothing, but three, three days ago when we first got here, I didn't sleep and I was
22:34very, just going through the worst scenario.
22:36Like we get there, all the songs suck, this is, yeah.
22:40So I, I had my fearful time and now I feel zen and ready to just, just do the, just
22:46do the work.
22:48Me too. Just calm.
22:50Did you have a spike of?
22:52I think I was a little nervous like flying out.
22:56You know, just, I don't know.
22:58Just like a little like, just, I have absolutely no idea what to expect, but.
23:09I can hop on the, uh.
23:11You might as well get it.
23:12Yeah, yeah, great.
23:13I also had an idea.
23:14Yeah.
23:14If we echo the end to it.
23:17Like this is some Elvis Presley shit and now I'm putting an end to it.
23:20End to it.
23:20End to it.
23:21Sure.
23:22Just to see.
23:23Let's try it.
23:23Okay.
23:25This is the end.
23:28End to it.
23:29Yeah.
23:31Do you think we need another pass at those or we got it?
23:34I think we got em.
23:34We got em.
23:35You got it.
23:36This is with Elvis Presley shit and not doing an end to it.
23:40Go the end to it.
23:40You got me.
23:41We a shuddy played on my baby.
23:43This, this, the end.
24:00you can definitely feel whether an energy is good or bad almost immediately we
24:04find the moment we walked in there like this is great this is this is gonna be
24:09perfect for us we've been recording at sunset sound legendary studio let's up
24:15with Zeppelin 4 I think the stones did let it bleed there some Van Halen albums
24:20were done coming out here to California to record a record and it just feels
24:27really good you know Alex and Dave just like their ability to just hear a part
24:34and be like why don't we try this and they throw out an idea and it's like oh
24:38where was this the whole time I mean we're trying not to like judge anything
24:43now I think we used to do that in the past where even if we were writing or the
24:47basic track wasn't good now we're just we're getting the whole thing done and
24:51then maybe in a month you know that's what we'll like assess
24:58every song so far we've tracked like when we go back and listen in the
25:03control room you know I know I'm doing this the whole time my head is nodding
25:09my eyes are closed and then I look around and everyone else is right there we
25:13were getting kind of bored of just garage rock sounds and we I listen to a lot of
25:17hip-hop stuff and I really wanted that undeniable head nod feeling and I think we
25:22achieved that for a few songs it's like a wave of emotion where it's I mean just
25:28we've been there four days and I've gone through being like wow this is great to
25:32existential crisis I go through it all and I've been told not to judge the work
25:39just do it I'm a really big fan of Dave's personally one of his kind of
25:56breakthrough albums as a producer was a song by the band wolf mother which I
26:00remember I listened to non-stop when I was
26:04hi
26:29it's been a really relieving process it's always good when you have producers and
26:32engineers who are like really good at backing you up and making you feel
26:36confident about your parts and yeah it's been a really really really great
26:41experience for everybody I think
27:01awesome this is our fourth time in the studio so we know I can look at Mackie or Nick or
27:05Kendall we know when it's working we know when it's not you feel it it's like a feel
27:11comfortable I think that I think the drum should be tighter like I'm less
27:16simple yeah I agree sure like it should just be really like yeah the last couple
27:23were feeling good and then it got complicated again right it's just really
27:28cool to see how we're like growing I think together as musicians
27:53I wanted to comp um

30:37it's got that rawness
30:38it's just got that energy
30:39I think all the fans are going to be stoked
30:42and I feel like everybody new that's going to come to it's going to be
30:45I love it
30:51did John tell you about the Epitaph thing?
30:54no
30:54that that label
30:56that there's a good label that loves this record and wants to put it out
31:00they have
31:01who do they have maybe?
31:02is it Epitaph fucking?
31:03they have Weezer
31:05Tom Waits
31:06Tom Waits is on Epitaph right?
31:07yeah cause underneath Epitaph they have Anty
31:10Anty
31:10and that's like the parent company is Epitaph
31:13the founder of it called John and loved it
31:16and we're Zooming with him and the president on Monday
31:20and then they booked me and John a ticket
31:24we're flying out on Wednesday to go meet them
31:27and John
31:28where? in LA?
31:29in LA
31:29John lied and told them that four other labels are interested
31:34and we'd like to make a decision by the end of the week
31:35so they said well we gotta get you out of here quick then
31:37so they put us on a
31:39so we're making
31:40did John tell them about what you guys were doing on the show today?
31:43yeah I think that was a big asset for us
31:45fucking huge
31:45yeah so they were excited
31:47yeah
31:48Epitaph dope
31:48yeah they're really good
31:50so
31:51well but I feel like we can't celebrate it yet
31:53until it's for sure
31:55we're gonna just manifest that shit
31:56yeah
31:56yeah
31:57yeah
31:57wow
31:59I was hanging at a party in the desert one night
32:02when I looked across the room, I saw Sean White
32:04I'm like oh my God
32:06he is hot as fuck
32:07and he just won the gold baby
32:09what is my luck
32:10this was way back when
32:11I was losing my shit
32:12but our stars were online playing mystery tricks
32:15I keep thinking about ya
32:16its making me sick
32:17in that night in your car
32:19where we played
32:19Just the...
32:21I'm older now, I've got in hell
32:23Oh, Barry, this is Sam
32:25Hi Barry, this is Sam
32:26That's Eric, he's our punk dog lawyer
32:28It was weird because we would sell a shitload of vinyl
32:32Like when we play a show, we sell merch
32:35Like compared, we've talked to other bands
32:36Like we can, the real exchange happens at the show
32:40The people come, then they come to the next one
32:41They buy everything we have
32:42They want the new shirt
32:43But streaming, it didn't equate
32:47Like someone at a venue, when we'd sell out a show for 500 people
32:50Someone that has 100 million streams
32:53Wasn't bringing the amount of people we were bringing with 20,000 streams
32:57I get it
32:58Then there's artists who are out there
33:00And they can sell out a 1,000 seat theater
33:05Not seats, but 1,000 cap theater
33:08And sell a ton of merch and vinyl records
33:12But the streams are really low
33:14And they've not connected the dots
33:16And I can't explain why that happens
33:19That's the case for some of our artists too
33:21We're ready for a shift
33:25That's why I love this project
33:27Because the band is amazing
33:33It checks every single box
33:36Songs, the records, the live show
33:40But you've not connected the dots of the streaming yet
33:43Right? And so
33:45But the proof's in the pudding
33:46If it's happening live
33:48It will happen
33:52In the streaming space
33:53And you need a partner to help you get it there
33:57And I also just want to say, man
33:59The new record
33:59I think you guys
34:02Have really leveled up
34:04I mean, I love your other stuff too
34:08But I think the new record is stunning
34:10Thank you
34:11And so I think it's kind of perfect timing
34:13It feels like things have been bubbling
34:15And they're ready to
34:16That's how it feels
34:18But we just need the help
34:20To push
34:30I could go into a million stories
34:33About how people
34:34Who are embedded into the music industry
34:37And that's their main gig
34:39And how they like
34:40I haven't done anything for us really
34:42And then Jason coming in
34:44And gifting us on a silver platter
34:46This opportunity
34:47To make something that
34:49You know
34:50Something he enjoys too
34:51I mean, I can't be grateful enough
34:53For the opportunity and everything
34:56It feels amazing
34:59To have somebody
35:00Who believes in us so much
35:01And not just
35:03He's not just saying it
35:04You know, he's doing it
35:05He's making it happen for us
35:07He's trying to help us
35:09That's been the big difference
35:10Between him and so many other people
35:12We've worked with
35:17That felt to me like
35:19Like we got
35:20Like it went well, right?
35:22Yeah, I'd be shocked if it didn't
35:24Right?
35:24We've just
35:25We've had things said to us before
35:27So we've learned to never
35:29Get excited
35:30Unless something's real
35:31And apparently they're going to send an offer
35:33But that felt to me
35:34I believe that guy
35:36Yeah
35:36He's a musician
35:37He's in bad religion
35:38Like he's gone through it
35:40He seems like an honest guy
35:41And I like Sue too
35:42Yeah
35:43It's a huge win, you know
35:45And I think had you guys not come along
35:48You know, the incentive or excitement
35:51To actually get back in
35:52And make another record
35:53Would not be there
35:54So, you know
35:55I don't think this record
35:56It's nice to also hear
35:57I mean, we like the record
35:59And that's what matters most
36:00But I wasn't sure
36:02If a label would want to put it out
36:04It's different
36:04Than anything else we've done
36:06And I don't know
36:08If they had, you know
36:10Ended up at a major label
36:11Which is what everybody thinks they want
36:12They probably would have gotten chewed up
36:14Spit out
36:15And, you know
36:17They'd be even more miserable
36:18Than they were
36:19When you guys like first came along
36:21I think an artist's first
36:23Label like this
36:23With, you know
36:24Run by
36:25Brett
36:26Who's like a real
36:26Legit
36:27Fucking punk rock guy
36:28I think it's the best
36:30Best place for him
36:30You know
36:31It feels like the best case ever
36:33I want to go woohoo
36:34But until the offer comes in
36:36I feel like I've
36:36How do you feel, Brian?
36:38You feel like you could say woohoo yet?
36:40I don't feel like I can ever say woohoo
36:42I'm with you
36:43So I'm the last person to talk to
36:45But I think
36:46Jason would give us a woohoo
36:47Yeah, Jason would definitely get a woohoo
36:56It's hard to believe in yourself
36:58When the thought is just not
37:00It's not natural for me
37:01I've been reading a book
37:02Called The Law of Success
37:03I'm excited to see
37:05How people react to this
37:06And, you know
37:07How they dance
37:08And
37:09When I get off stage
37:11And
37:11I, like, see the
37:13A smile
37:14Or
37:14Just how I
37:15Made somebody have a good time
37:17I mean
37:18Putting a smile on somebody's face
37:20Is all I live for
37:21And so
37:22Being able to hop around
37:23From city to city
37:24And
37:26Have people really relate to that
37:28And
37:29And connect to it
37:30It's such a gratifying feeling
37:31And I
37:32I can't get an option
37:33I do think no matter what
37:44Like
37:44I at least have to
37:46Make shit
37:47Or else I feel like I'm dying
37:50Not just about us
37:51It's happening to a ton of other bands
37:53So
37:54I just think it's gonna be sad
37:56If all that's left is
37:57Is
37:58TikTok pop
37:59Like
37:59That's a pretty bleak
38:02Culture
38:16I don't know what it means
38:18I just know that, like
38:19Since I started playing music
38:22I just had this, like
38:23Sense that
38:24I was going in a direction
38:26Of something
38:26That had purpose
38:27I kind of just
38:29Went with it
38:29Because I could feel
38:30That it was, like, pulling me
38:32Try to steal my life
38:33Cause it's hard to believe in yourself
38:36Nothing's, like, been
38:37Presented on our path
38:39That seems like
38:40Oh, now
38:41You can make a living
38:42Doing it this way
38:43You guys came in
38:44And gave us this huge gift
38:45But that's
38:46We're one band
38:47Like, you know
38:47There's so many good bands
38:49That I still think
38:50The model has to change
38:52The way it is
38:53Or something has to shift
38:56I'm interested to stay along
38:57For the adventure
38:59To see
38:59What will come next
39:01When this is what I am here for
39:03And it is all that I know
39:07Being able to see
39:08A record from the beginning
39:10To the end
39:11Be able to
39:12For us to direct it
39:13Be able to be a part of the whole thing
39:14Help them get a label
39:16Like, that just feels
39:18Like something beautiful
39:19And these guys really deserve it
39:22I think they got something special
39:24I hope it happens with more bands
39:27I'm excited to be with my friends
39:29I'm excited to see them on tour
39:30I'm excited to see the new songs on stage
39:33I really think it's important
39:34To buy the artists
39:35I think it's important
39:36To buy the vinyl
39:37Shit, I'll buy the cassette
39:38Cause I got a car old enough
39:39So that'll work
39:44And it's like a great gift
39:46That you can give to people
39:47Is music
39:48So, you know
39:49Just keep passing that along
39:50Pass it this way
40:11To buy the vinyl
40:12And it's like cash
40:20To buy the vinyl
40:24And that they agreed
40:25And let me see
40:25And it's like a big dressуль
40:37At
40:37the契通 And
40:39I
