MattGUEST
I'd love to go through and do a full ranking.
MattGUEST
I throw it right in between Midnight Vultures at four, and then it bumps Sea Change down to six for me.
AndrewHOST
Okay, love it.
AndrewHOST
Yeah, I had Sea Change a little higher.
Randy AllainHOST
Mm-hmm.
Justin ManciniHOST
Uh, if I'm not mistaken, I think I was talking about there was a baseline on Midnight Vultures that made me think of this group, and it's one I've been listening to a lot recently.
Justin ManciniHOST
It's Sly & the Family Stone.
Justin ManciniHOST
This is a, a band that worked in a variety of different genres, funk, soul, R&B, and rock, which I think really separated them from other similar types of acts.
Steven HydenHOST
Resolutely uncool.
Steven HydenHOST
You know, he's, he's well beyond trying to do like the Midnight Vultures thing at this point.
Steven HydenHOST
But I like it.
Steven HydenHOST
I'm gonna listen to it in my car and when I drive my kids to school.
Michael FitzpatrickGUEST
And it was sort of at that moment where I was truly, like, kinda heartbroken, and I said, "I just don't know how much more of this I can take.

Chris DeMakesHOST
Yeah.
Michael FitzpatrickGUEST
Uh, and it was sort of at that same time that he started getting these calls from ad agencies being like, "Hey, I know you did, like, The Midnight Vultures record stuff.
Michael FitzpatrickGUEST
Can you make us a cool piece of music, like, in the same world as Beck or something cool like that?" And so we started doing that, and then I quickly said to him, I said, "I think we should start, uh, a music house, a company that does music for film, television, and advertising." And he's like, "I don't know." I said, "Let me run it.
