Hey discos, Need a little more Disgrace Land 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 afterparty. Welcome to the Disgraceland bonus episode. A little thing we like to call the After Party. 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 are discussing Turnstile's Grammy wins and why hardcore music is now pop music, Jane's Addiction and our greatest live music experiences as kids. Long suffering New England Patriots fans finally get to experience the postseason. And we get into your emails, comments, 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. Disgraceland is where I tell the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. All right, Discos, let's get into it. All right, here's something interesting. Turnstile is the first hardcore band to win a Grammy Award. The Baltimore quintet nabbed two Grammys, one each in the Best Rock Album and Best Metal Performance categories. You guys know I'm a Turnstile fan. You know, I've been paying attention to this. I've been following along. I come from the hardcore scene, so this is of particular interest to me. Again, Turnstile. Two Grammys, one for Best Rock Album and another for Best Metal Performance. But make no mistake about it, Turnstile is a hardcore band in the Best Rock album category, Turnstile beat out nu metal journeyman, Linkin park, perpetual Hollywood scene darlings Heim, crossover vets Deftones and rock's latest hope, Youngblood. And in the best performance category, Turnstile's song Birds won over masked metalheads Sleep Token, Canadian progressive metalhead Spirit Box and two theater rock groups, Ghost and Dream Theater. Now, make no mistake, Turnstile is neither a rock band or a metal band. In the group's acceptance speech, frontman Brandon Yates said that the community we found through punk and hardcore music has given us a safe place to swing in the dark and land somewhere beautiful. Community. That word in particular, community, is what separates the hardcore scene from the metal scene, from the rock scene, even from the punk scene. Even though Yates categorized the scene the Turnstile came from as being punk and hardcore. He's from the hardcore scene, trust me. And the hardcore scene is different, much different. It's built on a different set of values. Now, long before these concepts became mainstream, the hardcore scene embraced the concepts of inclusiveness, of do it yourself grit and independence. And decades before these ideas were embraced and promoted by other music subcultures, the hardcore scene that Turnstiles Brendan Yates is talking about cultivated an open mindedness that still champions esoteric lifestyles and religions, everything from straight edge to vegetarianism and veganism, Hare Krishna, even Rastafarianism. Other music scenes, particularly metal and rock, openly mocked and ridiculed the hardcore scene for its openness. Now turn styles. Brendan Yates took the Stage at the 68th Grammy Awards the other night. And again he said, the community we found through punk in hardcore, again, that's the key word, community. The hardcore community is completely different than other musical communities. It's hard to explain unless you've lived in it as I have. In a lot of ways it's like being part of a club, a club of outsiders. And that's what drew me and many others to the hardcore scene to begin with. And once you've been accepted into this club, you never really leave in that way. I guess it's kind of like the Mafia or the CIA when you're traveling, I'm joking. But when you're traveling, in all seriousness, when you're traveling, you're traveling abroad. This happened to me so many times. You're traveling abroad, you're somewhere else, far from home. You're walking down a foreign street perhaps, and you pass a dude wearing a Gorilla Biscuits T shirt or a Bane hoodie or, yeah, maybe some Turnstile swag. You don't necessarily stop and talk to dude. But for sure, the both of you exchanged knowing nods. Now, you and the girl wearing the Joy Division T shirt, you're not necessarily going to do that. Nor would you with the guy wearing the Motley Crue shirt. It's different. It's a different experience. It's a different lived in experience being in the hardcore scene. So Turnstile, though they won in both the rock and metal categories, is the first hardcore band to win a Grammy Award. This is never done before. Now, the interesting thing here is, even though Turnstile is a hardcore band, what I want to ask is this is the music from their latest album, Never Enough Hardcore Music. And the answer is, no, it's not. It's something more. It's something different. The music on Never Enough transcends hardcore music. It, of course, has trademark hardcore elements. Mosh parts, big chugga chugga riffs, sing along choruses, breakdowns. But it also includes elements that no hardcore band has ever included and succeeded with, namely synth parts that are not just atmospheric. They're. They're singular. I heard that record, I was like, God, they're. They're. They're making, like Smith's guitar riffs with synthesizers, okay? These elements, they add this. This originality that I think, I believe anyways, is going to long be imitated by other bands, not just hardcore bands, and in a way will contribute in no small manner to the future of not just heavy music, not just hardcore music, but to the future of pop music. Now hear me out. Like Metallica and Nirvana before them, Turnstile created a new sound that transcended the niche scene that first embraced them. After Metallica released the Black Album, they no longer sounded like a metal band. They no longer sounded like anything but Metallica in a new version of Metallica. Not like the Metallica from the album's previous. Not like Injustice for all, not like Master of Puppets, not like Ride the Lightning. Black album sounded like Metallica in that moment. Something different. Same. For Nirvana, nothing was the same after Nevermind. The band on that album didn't sound like an alternative band. They didn't sound like a Seattle band. They didn't sound like a college band or even a grunge band, whatever that was. They sounded like Nirvana. Nirvana, after Nevermind no longer sounds like the Melvins or Mud Honey as they kind of do on Bleach. I mean, yeah, they're their own thing on bleach, but you put bleach up without Nevermind, right, in 1989 or whenever bleach comes out. Yeah, 1989, I think. You put that album up there next to A Melvin's record from the era or a Mud Honey record from the era. And they're all in conversation with each other. They all speak sonically to one another. They sound similar. Same thing with Metallica, previous to the Black Album, okay? And justice for all with Slayer's Reign and Blood, or with a Megadeth or Anthrax record. They're all kind of in conversation together, right? All those. The big. The big thrash bands, they're all kind of. They're all kind of there. They're all kind of on the track, neck and neck, nose to nose. What happens when the Black Album comes out? Metallica can no longer be compared to Slayer or Megadeth or Anthrax. Both Metallica and Nirvana evolved into something beyond their respective thrash and grunge scenes and into a new kind of popular music. Because those albums, not only did they sound different, they had a commercial breakthrough, they had a commercial impact. They impacted popular culture in the way that the records previously did not. And they impacted popular culture with a new evolution of the band's sound that turned them into something new, something different, something that had never been heard before. Something known as pop music. A new kind of pop music. And what happens when a band becomes pop? Their influence grows exponentially. After Nevermind by Nirvana and after the Black Album by Metallica, new crops of musicians took to their instruments inspired by Nirvana and Metallica without being inspired by other grunge or thrash bands. Now, I'm not saying that's a good thing necessarily. I'm just saying that it's a thing. Trust me, in 1991, 1992, when those records were out there, there were kids buying guitars, learning Nirvana songs, who had never heard Mud Honey, had never heard the Melvins before. Same goes for Metallica kids learning Metallica songs who had no idea who Megadeth was. And again, I'm not saying that's a good thing. I'm just saying that it's a thing. And that the hardcore sound, through Turnstile alone, will now be singed into the future of pop music. Because, put simply, Turnstile has become something other than a hardcore band. They've become Turnstile. And now they have two Grammy Awards to prove it. Turnstile. Love them, hate them, never heard of them, kind of interested in them, whatever. You can no longer escape the fact that they are more consequential today than they were a week ago. And I kind of love it. I didn't see it coming. I did not see this coming. And I'm kind of stoked about it. Anyways, speaking of influence and consequence, this week's new episode on one of the most consequential bands of the 1990s, Jane's Addiction, is currently available for you to listen to. This is part two of the Jane's Addiction story. We dropped episode one in the feed for you guys. Give you a refresh before diving into the continuation of the Jane saga. Jane says she's done with Sergio. He treats me like a rag doll. I love that line. I love this band. Jane's Addiction blew my mind when I first heard them. I was lucky enough to see him in a smallish venue when I was in high school, an auditorium in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. And they were fucking incredible. Incredible. Probably the greatest live band I'd seen up until that point. Until I saw Fugazi a couple years later in the same venue, mind you, in Fitchburg Wallace Civic Center. And then again I saw Fugazi and Clinton, Mass. My band got to open up for them. Take that turnstile. I'm kidding. Anyways, Seth and I are going to be talking about our favorite live music experiences as as kids in the exclusive section of this some after parties, some some real 90s early aughts. Live music stories, huge bands we've seen in small clubs, bizarre experiences with rock stars on the corners of the street. All kinds of stuff. All in the exclusive All Access section of this afterparty. Go to disgraceandpod.com to sign up. And as I'm saying this, maybe we'll make this a two part all access section because I think it'd be cool to hear your wildest live music experiences from childhood as well. Now I'm thinking about this out loud as I say it. Maybe what we'll do is have you guys call in or text 617-906-6638. Call us this week, give us your stories about your most memorable live music experiences and we'll play them in next week's All Access section of the After Party as we continue this conversation. So again, check out today's convo. Me and Zeth talking wild live music experiences as kids. Then call 617-906-6638. Leave a voicemail, send a text. Give us your wild live music experiences as children. Children of the 90s. Children of whenever. You don't have to have been coming up in the 90s. They don't. These don't have to be 90s experiences. And you can hear your answers in the All Access section of next week's After Party. We'll Keep this convo going. All right, after Jane's part two this week and after this bonus episode in our feed, we've got Beatles part one and part two. Speaking of consequential artists, you can't get more consequential than the Beatles. And then next week we've got our new long awaited requested episode on Mia Zapata of the Gitz. Mia Zapata, of course, was murdered and died way too young, prompting next week's Question of the Week. Which musicians do you love that died before they got their due? Be thinking of this when you're listening to the Mia Zapata episode. And then again, give me a call. 617-906-6638 and let me know the phone lines are open. As they say, let me know which musicians that you love who died before they got their due. 617-906-6638 voicemail and text. I'll this with your answers to last week's Question of the Week.

I love, I think that my two favorite things in the world or my favorite thing in the world besides my kids and my family and you know, the big sort of tentpole stuff is when you're watching a great movie and this incredible song comes on and it just, it changes everything. It changes the film, it changes the story, it changes the emotional connection you're having to the characters. And it even changes the way you think about that music when you see it in the context with the movie. And that can come from a needle, drop something on the soundtrack. It can be scoring whatever it is. The combination of music and images on screen, just unbelievable. I love it. That's at the heart of this film. Should be played loud. We've done two episodes so far. We did an episode. Our first episode is on Goodfellas. Our second episode is on Trainspotting. The next episode, I believe we're going to cover Marty Supreme. The new, new film, the new Timothee Chalamet movie that's out there right now. It's going to be episode three of this film should be played lo. Trainspotting, like I said, is the most recent one. Matt, why don't you play the folks here? A little taste of this film. Should we play loud?
- [17:48]
Seth Lundy
The opening scene of this movie is. It's the two Ewans. It's Ewan McGregor and Ewan Bremner. They're hauling ass down the street with a cop and a store clerk in a hot pursuit behind them. And Iggy Pop's Lust for Life is playing. And it literally, the first shot is of a foot hitting the pavement right as the opening drum beat of Lust for Life plays. And you're just like, you were just yanked into this world so hard. Were you into Iggy at the time, or did you have the same? For me, I don't know that I ever heard the song before. I saw this movie, and I vividly remember the song coming on and being like, holy shit, what is this song?
- [18:22]
Jake Brennan
Well, before I answer the question, I just. For those in the audience who are younger, it's important to remember that in 1996, when trainspotting comes out, Lust for Life by Iggy Pop, as hard as it is now to imagine, was not a ubiquitous. Ubiquitous sort of classic tune. It just was not it. I mean, I. I'm sure I had heard it, but I wasn't an Iggy. A fan of Iggy Pop's music. I knew who he was, and I thought he was an interesting guy because you gotta remember, he's doing, like, crybaby around this time. And dead man this day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hands.
- [18:54]
Seth Lundy
For me, yeah, this had the reputation of the guy who, like, cut himself on stage, and I was like, I don't know. That's a little too transgressive for me, maybe, you know.
- [19:00]
Jake Brennan
Yeah, that was definitely part of the lore. And he was just something that, you know, Johnny Depp was very enthralled with him at the time. And we all knew who Johnny Depp was, OB Obviously. And he was just kind of this, like, elder statesman in the alternative world. But I wasn't listening to Iggy Pop on purpose at that time. I wasn't. I had friends, though, I. I should say, who probably thought that I was lame because I didn't have the Stooges album. You know what I mean?
- [19:21]
Mint Mobile Ad Voice
Right.
- [19:21]
Jake Brennan
It took a while. It took a while for me to get into that. And. And this movie kind of did it for the song. But it. That's not what. Iggy Pop isn't. What this movie turned me on to, musically. We can get into what. What this. What the movie did turn me on to, but, no, Iggy wasn't really on my radar. And now when you go back and you're just. It's not just. It's not just the. The Lust for Life scene in the beginning, which is absolutely, like, instantly iconic. Yeah, it's that nightclubbing scene.
- [19:49]
Seth Lundy
Yes.
- [19:49]
Jake Brennan
In the Menace. Nightclubbing. Yeah, yeah. Which Bowie. Bowie produced. Right.
- [19:59]
Seth Lundy
That one's off the idiot.
- [20:00]
Jake Brennan
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just.
- [20:01]
Seth Lundy
It sounds like a hangover, that song, you know?
- [20:03]
Jake Brennan
Yeah. It really. It sounds like you're. You're. You're hanging out with the wrong fucking people. That's it. And that's what was happened. Bowie was hanging out. Bowie and Iggy were both hanging out with the wrong people at the time. Just so happened that it was each other. And yeah, all right guys, that's this film should be played loud.

Like I said with the Jane's Addiction episode, we prompted the question who was the most consequential artist of the 90s? Let's check in with the 818 hey.
- [20:45]
Listener Callers
Jake, it's Ken in 818 calling in about your question about which band best embodies the 90s. Thank you by the way, for not saying which band is the most iconic. That word is getting seriously overused and it's annoying. But I digress. Who's the most important? It's gotta be Nirvana. Who's probably the longest lasting still going important band. Probably Pearl Jam. Best hard rock album from that era. Soundgarden. Super unknown for me. I can't even get into 90s hip hop and R and B because that's like a whole separate podcast and you might be having that already in the works. Who knows. But in terms of like which band embodies for me the 90s, this is kind of a left field one because I never even listened to them until the 2000s. Uncle Tupelo. They created a whole genre. Alt country. They gave birth to two bands after they split up. Sun Volt and my favorite band, Wilco. I didn't even know about them until the Wilco movie I'm Trying to Break youk Heart came out. And then I kind of started going back and like, little did I know that was a huge part of a lot of people's lives in the 90s. I know they started late 80s, only went into 94, but I think just the fact that they kind of created a whole new genre and gave birth to some bands out of that, for me, that's my answer. Thanks for all you're doing. If you don't have an Uncle Tupelo episode, I would suggest it, but you know what you just talked about how people don't even know these things. I'm fairly new here. You probably have like two Uncle Tupelwu episodes for all I know. Thanks a bunch man.
- [22:26]
Jake Brennan
Rocka Rolla Yo Kane, Great, great, great, great call. So much here to unpack. First of all, I hear you on the iconic thing. It drives me nuts. It absolutely drives me nuts. Not everybody can be iconic. Part of what makes somebody an icon is they are separate and apart from everybody else. And there's a time component to it as well. So, yeah, I could go on and on about that. I agree with you on. I agree with you on what you said about Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. I do think, though, that I don't really know how. I haven't quite figured out how to position Jane's Addiction in this thinking, because I do firmly believe that if it weren't for their efforts, the Nirvana thing wouldn't have happened. Now I suppose you could probably even trace it back further. You can go from Jane's Addiction back perhaps to REM And Pixies and the work they sort of did with college radio and creating the Runway for the 90s explosion that was supercharged by Jane's Addiction. And then nirvana and on 90s hip hop. You're right. That's a whole other separate conversation. I love 90s hip hop and R and B, by the way. And it's funny that you should bring up Uncle Tupelo. Uncle Tupelo. We just, we started talking about them in the exclusive. We already taped the exclusive section, the conversation here between Zeth and I. You'll hear Szeth's experience with Uncle Tupelo as a young kid. And that album, no Depression was produced by good friend of ours, Paul Coldery, who I've done a lot of work with in the past. Just a great, great record. I'm definitely more of a Tweety guy than I am J. Farrar. But you know, I, I had Spotify on randomly playing random stuff the other day and this song came on. It was kind of a later. It wasn't from no Depression. It was some. Some Uncle Tupelo thing. And it rocked so hard and it was a J. J4R song. But I'm not really a Sun Volt guy, but I, I get it. I get why people are. Anyhow, great, great call. Lots to unpack there. Check out to this too if you want to hear more about that Uncle Tupelo experience that Seth had. And some Ryan Adams stuff too, if you're into the whole all country thing. All right, let's check out this voicemail from the 61 7.

I met Perry Farrell one night on the way to an after hours club in Venice Beach, 1998. My friend Karen had her Hebrew name tattooed on the back of her calf and he, being Jewish, could read it. Came up behind us and chatted us up a minute. It turns out we're all going to the same club. Later on, I saw my brain pack up a suitcase and roll off down the sidewalk on a skateboard. But that's another story. I don't know what that's in reference to. 3, 6, 0. But I'm happy you got to hang out with Perry far. Sounds amazing. 9, 7, 8. Hell tone.

Thought of a couple episode ideas. One is about Felix Pappalardi, bass player from Mountain who was murdered by his wife Gail. And the other story is about Mike Gordon, bassist for Phish. Around the tour of the millennium, he got into some trouble with some Hell's Angels and wound up getting his balls stomped for taking pictures of an underaged girl whose father was a club member. Have a great year. You know, we did a fish episode. We did not get into this. There's. We had, we had our reasons. I didn't know this Hell's Angels. I didn't write that episode. So maybe Seth knows. I didn't know this Hell's Angels angle. However, I wonder if this is true. We'll check this out, Rob and report back.

All right, Matt. It is super bowl week, my friend. It's back, baby. This is the 60 second sports rant in under 30 seconds sponsored by 5 Hour Energy in the return of their Confetti Craze flavor. Bring big birthday energy wherever you go with this plan. Your Confetti craze party at www.fivehourenergy.com or Amazon. Available now. Matt, give me the buzzer beater. All right, listen, it's not easy being a New England Patriots fan. Some of you fans of say the Vikings or the Bills or the Bengals or the jets or other fans of long suffering football franchises. You may look upon us blanketed in our red, white and blue, gearing up for our 12th Super bowl appearance, gearing up for our franchise leading seventh Super bowl title. You may look upon our postseason dominance with envy. But let me tell you, it is not easy being a Patriots fan. It is not easy being this hated, this despised by the entire country. How bad do football fans hate hate the New England Patriots and their fans? Well, as you probably heard, the winningest, most dominant coach in NFL history, Bill Belichick with six super bowl titles as a head coach with the Pats, was denied entry into the Pro Football hall of Fame last week. This week Pat's owner Robert Kraft, also with six titles, was denied for the 14th time. Now, if having the most titles as a coach and owner does not get you into the hall of Fame, then what does? And how do you explain blame this Patriots hate, that's how. All right, but that's okay. That's cool. We'll take it. Pat's players have long made league hate fuel for postseason victory and I of course am hoping that they do so again this weekend. We shall see. All right, Matt, how'd I do? 128 today. Jake, you know, I think that's pretty good. You've been on the shelf for quite a while. You had a lot to say, you know. All right, well that's okay. I'll take the L in hopes that the Pats get the W this weekend. That was the sports rant sponsored by Five Hour Energy's Confetti Craze flavor. Backed by popular demand, Confetti Craze tastes like the best birthday cake ever with its rich, buttery and vanilla flavors. Since Five Hour Energy shots are tiny, it's easy to take that birthday everywhere you go. Plan your confetti craze party at www.fivehourenergy.com or Amazon available. All right guys, got some merch coming to the merch winners. Keep an eye on that mailbox. For those who don't know, Disgraceland fans, audience members who review the show on Spotify or on Apple podcasts will if they hear their review reread back here in the show, receive some free merch. Might be a T shirt, might be pins, might be some stickers. I'm looking at some disgrace and stickers right now on my desk. Ask. It's very easy to leave a review and reviews help power discovery of the show. Help bring this show to new listeners and we appreciate that. Chris Hillman over on Spotify writes, hey, Jake, great listen on this Disgraceland episode of Jane's Addiction. The things Dave Navarro endured in his early life, like the brutal death of his mother, explains why he took so many risks. Couldn't imagine dealing with that just alone. Yeah, you're absolutely right, Chris. I'm feeling generous today. So here's another review on Spotify, this one by Sam Hunt, who writes, hey, hey, that Runaways episode gave me chills. Dude, I know so much about the Runaways, but the way you tell these stories, especially the last bit, I needed to hear that right now. Sam hunt, get in touch. 617-906-6638 guys, hit me up on tech. Send me a text, send me a voicemail. Edward Joseph, just shout out to you. Looks like I pronounced brigain wrong. The brigain lab from the Gaga episodes. You know, I actually did my homework on this. I looked it up. Damn it. I don't know, Edward. I don't know if I'm taking your word for it. Tiffany Williams writes, hear me out. I'm playing devil's advocate here on the Lady Gaga episode. Maybe it's a stretch, but what if Gaga spent her career paying homage to her friend by embodying her Persona? I don't know, but damn, Jake, this was good. Bravo. That's an interesting idea, Tiffany. You know the idea that the conspiracy theory is that Lady Gaga stole. Stole Lena Morgana's whole vibe, her style, her music. I like your take, Tiffany, that maybe she was just paying homage to her dead friend. I like that girl. Kai from Chai XX on Apple podcast writes, hey, I've known Disgraceland forever, but for whatever reason, never actually pressed play until the most recent Lady Gaga part one episode. And yeah, hooked is the word. 10 of 10 stars. Jake does a really amazing job at setting the dark and cinematic vibes without feeling exploitative and gossipy. It's nice to find a podcaster who respects nuance. Girl Kai from Chai get in touch. We'll get you some merch. And I appreciate you saying that about the nuance. It's. It's an interesting balance because if I'm being totally honest, as you know, I like the more dramatic portions of the story, as I think we all do. That's the type of storytelling that I'm drawn to. But if you do that without nuance, it just becomes sensational. So. So finding that nuance and finding enough of it and not using too much of it is interesting challenge when it comes to storytelling. And we take it very seriously over here at Double Elvis. And I gotta say, I'm very happy that you called that out. So get in touch 617-906-6638 and we will get you some merch. Okay? Now, if you need just a little more Double Elvis storytelling in your life, like I said over on Patreon, you guys can check out our new show. This film should be played loud.
