You know, every holiday season I'm hit with this feeling of, oh man, what am I going to wear to this event that I have to go to? I'm just going to see my relatives. I don't want to get dressed up, but I haven't seen them in forever. I want to look nice. What am I going to wear? I don't like the stress of this, but I've got it figured out. I've got a solution. Quintz Quint makes incredible sweaters. Last year when I started working with Quince, I got hooked up with a Mongolian cashmere crew neck sweater, which anytime the temperature dips below 70 degrees, I'm putting this thing on. Now they have these polo sweaters that are also Mongolian cashmere. Fantastic. And when I say sweater, I don't mean like a big bulky Christmas sweater. I mean it's light, it's kind of fitted, it looks great, it's casual, but it also dresses you up. They've also got these cashmere fisherman quarter zip sweaters as well. These are fantastic. This is just like, I don't know, imagine you're hanging out with Anthony Bourdain or something down in Martha's Vineyard and you know you're eating oysters. It's kind of chilly, but it's not too, too chilly. You're wearing this Quince Mongolian cashmere fisherman quarter zip sweater and you can wear it to the holiday party as well. It's gonna look fantastic this season with those cold mornings, those holiday plans. This is when you want your wardrobe to be simple and easy. You want to look good, though. You want to look sharp, you want to feel good. Quince makes clothes that I actually want to wear out. And the bonus Quince makes great gifts as well. I can talk about the Mongolian cashmere sweaters until I'm blue in the face, but they're denim nails. The fit and everyday comfort that you're going to be looking for at a fraction of what you'd be expecting to pay. Quince has you guys covered for gifting that goes beyond clothing as well. Okay, you can get home items, bath, kitchen, travel. I mentioned before the great Nappa leather duffel bag that I got from my wife from Quints but that I ended up appropriating for myself.

Quince.com Disgraceland hey discos, need a little more Disgraceland in your life? Just a touch to get you through. Yeah, me too. This is the podcast that comes after the podcast welcome to Disgraceland. The After Party. Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode. A little thing we like to call the afterparty. This is the show after the show. The party after the party. The bridge to get you from one full episode of Disgraceland to the other. The backyard to dig into the dirt. Our mission to uncover the truth, to confront the myth, to reclaim the story. On this bonus episode, we're giving a brief history of gun violence from music's past. Digging into the music that you listen to to lift you up. Rewinding back from the Dr. John shooting to the potential Martin Scorsese shooting. Previewing next week's episode on the band, we into your voicemails, texts, DMs, and as always, a whole lot of Rosie. This is the podcast for the musically obsessed, the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. Disgrace Land is where I tell the stories that didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. All right, discos, let's get into it. Last night I saw the trailer for a new documentary on HBO called Thoughts and Prayers. The film examines active shooter preparedness in modern American life. And it got me thinking about all the rock stars who've lived and died by the gun, by what Steve Earle called the devil's right hand. My first pistol was a cap and ball Colt shoot as fast as lightning but it loads a mite slow. Loads of mites slow. As I soon found out, it. It can get you into trouble, but it can't get you out. So then I went and bought myself a colt.45 called a peacemaker. But I never knew why. I never knew why I didn't understand. Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand. Music history is outlaw history. And this history is fascinating. Something more akin to a Scorsese movie than what was inside those history books that they gave us in high school. So in this bonus episode, let's dive into a brief history of violence, gun violence from music's past. We start with one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, an artist whose name is almost completely lost to history because of a bullet. James Pinetop Smith, a piano player whose boogie woogie style back in the 1920s led to the creation of rock and roll. Pinetop literally invented the term boogie woogie and his style and even some of his lyrics can be hear heard in those excellent Ray Charles Atlantic recordings from from early in Ray's career, songs like Mess around and what I say. Pinetop's future was wide open when he was playing back in the late 20s. But a stray bullet at a Chicago house party cut him down, ending his career and his life at the age of just 25. This was a decade after blues musician Lead Belly shot Will Stafford between the eyes and and killed the man over an argument. Lead Belly did about eight years, a hard time before he was released on a pardon. The Texas governor at the time was reportedly moved enough by a Lead Belly performance to grant the musician and killer clemency. On Christmas Day 1954, R&B singer Johnny Ace accidentally put a bullet in his head while playing Russian roulette by himself in 1963. In an obscure juke joint, James Brown nearly shot Otis Redding, who was on stage performing at the time. Now, Otis wasn't the target. Singer Joe Tex, who James Brown hated, he was the target. Both survived. But the legend of this incident still looms as an example of the violent chitlin circuit from back in the day. In 1972, in one of Manhattan's East Village dives, jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan was shot and killed by his wife Helen, who, after nursing her husband back from a debilitating heroin addiction, was none too happy with Lee Morgan's flagrant philandering. Lee Morgan could have survived his wife's bullet were it not for the raging snowstorm outside Slug's saloon, where he lay bleeding out. The ambulance arrived too late to save the horn player, and this story's frigging wild. I could talk about this all day. More details on this coming up for you guys in the exclusive all access section of this after party. Seth and I are going to get into it over there, so stick around. You'll hear that Sam Cook shot and killed Marvin Gaye, shot and killed John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, Tupac, Biggie, Selena, Jam Master J, Dimebag Darrell. The list of musicians who died by the gun goes on and on and on. The eras change, the scenes change. The style of music may change, but the gun remains. Spade, Cooley, Phil Spector, Tay K47, Jim Gordon, Roger Troutman, maybe Jerry Lee Lewis, all these dudes. I'm not saying Jerry Lee Lewis, but all the other dudes, they all used the devil's right hand, as Steve Earl said, To kill Dr. John, this week's full episode subject of disgrace, and was nearly killed in a gunfight. His hand was shot up and he was forced to give up playing guitar and to become a piano player. Perhaps that was something good that came from gun violence. You can make that argument, I guess. Martin Scorsese, the subject of our next rewind episode, not a musician, but arguably the most rock and roll filmmaker of all time. He had to be talked out of shooting his producer on Taxi Driver by none other than Steven Spielberg. And that story, as incredible as it is like the Dr. John story, is revelatory. But neither story they're not hard to believe because the gun and gun violence has been at the center of music history going back over 100 years. It's as much a part of the American soundtrack as boogie woogie piano playing and jazz trumpets and Otis Redding and Marvin Gaye and all the rest. Because music history is outlaw history. And personally, I can't get enough of it. I'll be back after this with your calls, texts, emails and more.

Visit subaru.comshare to learn all right, good people of Disgrace and discos across the United States of America and beyond, we are here hanging on the telephone, back in the saddle again in the after party and talking about Dr. John. This week's full episode subject of Disgraceland, Dr. John, the Great Mac Rebenick, prompted the question of the week, which was what music heals you? What music do you put on to pull yourself out of those dark places that James Elroy warned us about? Let's check out Ben from the five four one.

Caller
Hey Jake, this is Ben from the five four one. I'm a counselor and I love music and art and I definitely use music to help my mood. I but I have different ones like when I'm really down and I just, I don't know what to do. I'm feeling really low. I love to listen to the old Delta blues like Lead Belly and Sun House up to like Muddy Waters. So I love that, that genre right there and then if I'm angry, I want to listen. I want to listen to Rage against the Machine. I want to listen to Tool. You know, I want to listen to things that kind of get that aggression out. But when I'm happy, man, I want to listen to the Grateful Dead, I want to listen to Sublime, I want to listen to shoot Hank Williams Jr. Or Dolly Parton. I mean, it's the vibe of the person, it's the vibe of the band more than the genre when it comes to being happy. I've been listening to you since your first episode, man. I found you just based on the picture on the itunes there and I Hadn't heard anybody produce a show like you. I hadn't anybody tell a story like you. With the music and the beat and the. Ah, man, I've been hooked ever since, brother. You're doing a great job.
- [13:49]
Jake Brennan
Ben, you and I have the exact opposite approach in regards to calibrating our emotions with music. It looks like you reinforce the emotion with your music selection. I kind of do the opposite when I'm. When I'm sad, at least I don't listen to sad music. It just. I just. I want to go totally opposite. I want to listen to Casey and the Sunshine Band, like I mentioned. I want to listen to Chic. By the way, the. Just. You know, this is an unpaid endorsement, but the Studio 54 station on Sirius is mine and Zest's new obsession. It's really hard to find. For me, anyways. For some of you, it won't be hard, but for me, it's. It's hard to find obscure disco on the fly. I mean, I know it's out there. I'm. I'm not a connoisseur of it. And if I go to any of the streamers and I. And I try to search for disco that I like that's maybe new to me, that I haven't heard that's soulful, that's not just like all the shit we've heard a million times. It's. It's hard to find that stuff on Spotify and elsewhere. But I got to say, the Studio 54 station does a good job with the disco choice nugs, and it will lift you up out of your funk. All right? Unlike the Delta blues there, Ben, I can't go there when I'm sad. But I hear you. You know, There was a time when I did, just not anymore. I'm more with you when you're feeling happy already and you're putting on the dead, or when you're, you know, you're in the gym and you're. You're rocking out to rage. I get that. I get that. But I can't reinforce the sadness with the sad vibes. Nonetheless, thanks for your call, Ben. Appreciate you. Let's check out Scotty from the 313.

Caller
Hey, Jake, it's Scotty from the 313. Yo, what up, Detroit? I wanted to answer a question regarding music that heals you, and I agree with you. You know, when I'm feeling like I need to be healed by music, it's a lot of upbeat stuff like funk, soul, R and B. But I wanted to share with you Something that healed me at a time when I really needed it. Back in 2007, I was in Afghanistan and I discovered a record by Eels. Remember Eels? Novocaine for the Soul? Well, they had an album called Blinking Lights and Other Revelations. And this album was very long, very underrated, and it is a journey to listen to. But towards the. Probably the second third of the album, there's a track on it called hey man, now youw're really Living. And I encourage anyone who is listening to this to reach out and listen to that track. During the many years that I spent in Afghanistan and Iraq, anytime I was feeling down, which was a lot of times, I would put that particular song on and then I would cry and then I would be somewhat healed. Twenty years later, I still listen to that song whenever I need a quick pick me up. So thanks for listening, Scotty.
- [16:54]
Jake Brennan
Thanks for the call, man. Love Eels. Don't know this record. I say I love Eels. My relationship with Eels is. Every time I've ever heard a song, I've gone like, oh, what's this? This is very interesting. I kind of like it a lot. And then I find out it's the Eels, and then I don't dig in any deep. So I'm going to take your message here as a prompt to listen to this album. I'm going to check it out. I'm going to check out hey man, now youw're really Living as well. Appreciate you sharing your story here. Thank you for your service, Scotty. Appreciate you. If anyone out there listening right now knows Mark from Eels, shoot him this episode. I'm sure he'd appreciate hearing what Scotty has to say about his music and how it helped him while he was overseas and in a dark place. Thanks for the message, Scotty. By the way, love the Eels tune that was in Black Rabbit recently, Prize Fighter. See, I know that song. All right, let's check out Chris from the 612.

Caller
Hey, Jake. This is Chris calling from the 612. You asked a question about what band or music had revived you or. And I had an experience at the Minnesota Zoo with Government Mule. I had just gotten out of jail that morning after a dui. My life was not good at all. I was going down the wrong track. And it all hit me at once that, you know what? Life's pretty simple. And all you got to do is go see good music and enjoy the beauty that's all around us and do the best you can. And that was about 25 years ago. And my life's been Stellar ever since. And it keeps, keeps getting better. Thanks a lot. Keep doing what you're doing. I appreciate it.

Jake Brennan

Give us your thoughts on the question of the week. You can leave a voicemail like Chris and Scotty and Ben who we just heard from, or you can send us a text like the 775 who writes in hey Jake, your cadence feels a little higher in the Dr. John episode. Was this a conscious decision or pure accident? Interesting. I didn't catch that. Not on purpose. One thing that has changed recently in the last couple months is I switched up. The way I record for the last couple years I've been standing up in a booth doing it. Prior to that I was sitting down. I'm back to sitting down. And not only am I sitting down, I'm sitting down at my desk as opposed to sitting down in a booth. And maybe it's freed me up a little, I don't know. But a high cadence doesn't, doesn't indicate me being free. It indicates me being kind of cooped up. So I have no idea. But I appreciate the text. Thanks. 775. 512 writes in. Hey Jake, this is Nathan from Houston via 512. You asked where we listened to the podcast and I thought you might appreciate that. I did. Small road trip across half of Texas.

I thought most of their songs were boring. Not all, but most.615 I could not disagree more strongly, but I appreciate the just the confidence in your dislike of Led Zeppelin. Yeah, go for it. Especially because you wrote later you wrote back in, he said you like Thin Lizzy and BTO a lot more and I dig that too. Way to go. I thought the Zeppelin documentary was boring though, I'll tell you that. That's what happens sometimes when the the artists are fully cooperating, as they say with the filmmakers.

We often do recommendations here in the afterparty. I've been doing them for a while and I really love giving book recommendations, movie recommendations, music recommendations. I know you guys like the recommendations. They become very popular. Get a lot of feedback. You guys send me your recs. It's great. Here's what happens though. I get too lost in the recommendations and it eats up a lot of time. Specifically in these after parties. It makes the after parties go way long. But then I go like, I can't do this. I can't. I just. And then I then I don't do any recommendations for like a month or two or something like that. So it's just I. I think what I want to do. I'm going to do this thing in every episode. I'M going to try to do this thing where from now on, okay, I'm going to do a quick recommendation segment. One book, one record, one documentary. I'm going to try and tie them to whatever episodes we're talking about this week. Okay? We've got a Scorsese episode coming up in the rewind slot this week. And then we've got the Last Waltz episode coming up next week. So Scorsese is going to be the theme of my recommendations this week. And I know that the New Scorsese Doc, Mr. Scorsese on Apple, is not an unknown commodity for you guys, but if for some reason you guys have not any of you, er, Scorsese fan, you haven't seen this yet. Paul Prue, I'm talking to you. Run. Okay. Don't walk. It's incredible. It's so, so, so good. So that's The DOC recommendation, Mr. Scorsese, for the book that I'm recommending, it's Made Men, which is the story of the making of Goodfellas, which Seth asked me about yesterday and turns out I've read it and I just forgot. I read it, I read it so long ago. But there's information in this book that I forgot about that Szeth reminded me of. About the songs that Scorsese chose to be in the soundtrack for Goodfellas that didn't make it in to that film that's in that book. It's a great reason to read the book, among many other reasons, Made Men by Goodfellas. But I'm gonna talk more about that little piece of info there on the Scorsese soundtrack in a bit. Put a pin in that. My recommendation, my music recommendation, my record, my album recommendation is Jericho by the band. Now, this album has nothing to do with Martin Scorsese. Martin Scorsese's cocaine buddy Robbie Robertson isn't even on this album. It came out in the 90s again without Robbie Robertson. However, it's a great record and it has a scorching, scorching version of the band doing Bruce Springsteen's Atlantic City. And it's a great version, but it's not even the best version of the band doing. This is a live version that you can find of them doing this tune that is also fantastic. I think it's from Austin City Limits or something like that. Don't quote me on that piece. But anyways, just check out Jericho by the band. It's fantastic. It's early 90s record. Really, really good. All right, those are my recs for this week. Mr. Scorsese for documentary Made Men, the book about the making of Goodfellas. That's my book. Rec and Jericho by the band is my album Wreck. If you guys want to recommend one book, one record or one documentary or anything else to me, hit me up. 617906-6638. Okay, I gotta bring you guys up to speed on something here. One of my favorite things on the planet is the convergence of great music and film. And we talk about it a lot. Not in any formal sort of way, though. It's tangential to the music history and true crime conversation that we're having on an ongoing basis. However, you know, I'm a huge film nerd. You know who my guys are. You know, the same about Seth so Zeth and I thought, why don't we do this new show? We'll do it for fun. We'll do it. We'll do it for our All Access members. And it will be just about the greatest music in the greatest movies of all time. All the great soundtracks, the great needle drops, the incredible scores, the albums that get by with super weird minimal scores anywhere. Music meets film in an interesting way. That's what we're going to talk about in this podcast. We're going to talk about one film per episode, and we're going to talk about the music in that film. The new podcast is a video podcast. It's called this Film should be Played Loud, which is a obvious reference to the very first frame of the last waltz you see in huge letters. This film should be played loud. Come across the screen and you know to buckle up and to turn your television up to 11. So the first episode we filmed, we did this last night, was on the movie Goodfellas. Okay. Now you can imagine Goodfellas is like the greatest soundtrack ever. There's a lot of interesting footnotes, music footnotes in that movie. Songs, like I mentioned before, that didn't make it into the film that Scorsese wanted in the film. Actual musicians who are in the film, relatives of musicians who are in the film. The way in which Scorsese uses music in this film is completely novel. And it's gone on to influence, you know, all of my favorite filmmakers after that. Pretty much not all of them, but. But a lot. The music in Goodfellas is groundbreaking in so many different ways. And we spent about 45 minutes talking about it last night. Could have. Honestly, we could have spent three hours talking about it. We had a lot of fun in the lead up, sort of sharing our notes, talking about our favorite scenes, et cetera. And a lot of that is gonna come across on screen. So that is going to be available for you guys in a couple weeks in the middle of December. It's gonna be part of our All Access offering. You can get that. Go to disgraceandpod.com to sign up. It's only gonna be available for Patreon members at first. We might might find a way to make the audio available for Apple subscribers at some point. But right now if you're on Patreon, you're in for something cool coming your way soon. If you're just a free follower of ours on Patreon, now is the time to sign up. This film should be played loud. It'll be released monthly and again, the first episode is coming your way in a couple weeks in the middle of December. Go to disgraceandpod.com to sign up All Access members. You guys also know you get these mini episodes. I hope you dug the one this week on Dr. Escaping the psych Ward. Just fascinating. For those of you who are not All Access members, here is a taste. Here is a taste of what you're missing. The good doctor had seen it all. Vengeance, violence, drug addled depravity. He once watched a kid from the neighborhood get his eye shot out. He himself looked down the barrel of Art Blakey's 9 millimeter, which Art pulled on him when he was caught sneaking through the drummer's place at night on the hunt for dope. Art's little girl was there when it happened and she looked at her daddy and said, well, you gonna shoot him? Not yet, came Art Blakey's reply, naturally, being a creature of the New Orleans underground where the musicians were on the level with junkies, pimps and whores. The good doctor had seen that woman down at the Blue Cat Lounge who fucked a zebra. Actually it was a mule, but they painted the beast to look like a zebra, thus ensuring that the spectacle was not just regular, all kinds of fucked up, but exotically all kinds of fucked up too, I guess. This of course was before that meddling DA Jim Garrison got himself obsessed with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and had nothing better to do than to harass the clientele of New Orleans nightclubs and put a lot of hard working cats out of work. A good doctor included. But I digress. My point is that the good doctor had seen so many things in his life, but 28 year old Mac Rebenac, aka Dr. John had never seen this before.

Daniel Shea writes into us and the subject reads the Fish from Vermont. Hey Jake, as a member of the fish community since 1994, I have to say you nailed it. I was terrified you're going to trash them, but in the best disgrace and style possible. You really tied everything together and created a great episode. I personally can't stand the nitrous at shows and think it really puts a dark vibe on the scene. Lots of folks love it, but I think it's a scourge on the community, especially the absolute mess left behind after shows. I personally don't think the nitrous is going anywhere due to the stacks of cash available. I think it would be amazing if you checked out a live fish show to be able to witness the mostly amazing community in action. Hopefully I'll see you on lot this summer or SG for the annual New Year's run. Keep up the great work. By the way, the fish from Vermont phrase comes from newsman Peter Jennings. He announced them that way during the millennium news coverage. ABC cut to a live feed at Big Cypress and that's how he introduced them. It's been a fan joke ever since. And as a good example of how the band likes to mess with the mainstream, Trey told the festival crowd to chant cheesecake when ABC went live. And to say say it like you're pissed. It made the broadcast people so confused. As Zappa said, humor belongs in music. Rocka rolla Great email Daniel. Appreciate you. And here I am thinking that we we invented the fish, but it was Peter Jennings all along. Disgraceandpodmail.com Fish fans, you want to get in touch or anybody else? Hit us up. Matt Robertson writes in Subject Matter Radiohead Episode Suggestion Hey Jake, love the podcast and the bonus episode. So a suggestion for a Radiohead episode is in 2012 there was a stage collapse in Toronto that killed a drum tech and afterwards there was a long drawn out court battle with lots of finger pointing. Anyhow, I'm a big Radiohead fan and thought this might work for you. Might be a way in. Matt, appreciate you out there in the 204 hitting us up. Yeah, I like this. I like this. Maybe it's a way to get into the sort of the sort of paranoia vibes of radiohead disgracelandpodgmail.com you guys want to hit us up? Matt, prep that old buzzer beater for me, will you?

You know, I'm not one of these sports fans who thinks he knows everything, who's right all the time. Though I am right more often than not, I will say. But I do on occasion get it wrong, as we all do. And when it comes to my thoughts on the lack of of moves made by the Patriots this trade deadline, I think I was dead wrong. Sure, they could use another edge rusher, but it looks like the Pats knew exactly what they had in house with running back Trayvon Henderson. And my rant a couple weeks ago bitching about how Rabel in the front office whiffed on bringing backfield depth in was, well, wrong. This Henderson kid looks like the second coming of Tony Dorsett out there. He can do it all. Power, breakaway, speed, he can catch, block, and. And. And it appears he can do all of that while holding onto the football. What a novel idea. I was wrong. There, I said it. I was wrong. Let's hope continue to be wrong and this running back continues to shine and the Patriots can ride them all the way to the Super Bowl. Matt, how did I do, my friend? 49 seconds this week, buddy. Not too bad. There you go. Maybe we need more trade deadline help around here. Get me to produce these under the deadline more often. All right.
