Transpartment, how can I help you?
Yeah, I'm over here at Burger King right here in San Clemente.
No, not San Clemente.
I'm sorry.
I live in San Clemente.
I'm in Laguna Niguel, I think.
That's where I'm at.
I'm at a drive-thru right now.
I ordered my food three times.
They're mopping the floor inside, and I understand they're busy.
They're not even busy.
Okay, I've been the only car here.
I asked them four different times to make me a Western barbecue burger.
Okay, they keep giving me a hamburger with lettuce, tomato, and cheese, onions.
And I said, I'm not leaving.
I want a Western burger because I just got my kids from Taifundo.
They're hungry.
I'm on my way home, and I live in San Clemente.
Okay, she gave me another hamburger.
It's wrong.
I said, four times.
I said, I want it.
She goes, can you go out and park in front?
I said, no.
I want my hamburger right.
So then the lady came to the manager.
Whoever she is.
She said, okay.
She came up, and she said, do you want your money back?
And I said, no.
I want my hamburger.
My kids are hungry, and I have to jump on the toll freeway.
I said, I am not leaving this spot.
And I said, I will call the police because I want my Western burger done right.
Now, is that so hard?
Okay, what exactly is it you want us to do for you?
I sent an officer down here.
I want them to make me a burger.
Ma'am, we're not going to go down there and enforce your Western bacon cheeseburger.
What am I supposed to do?
This is between you and the manager.
We're not going to go enforce how to make a hamburger.
That's not a criminal issue.
There's nothing criminal there.
So I just sit here and walk?
You need to calmly and rationally speak to the manager and figure out what to do between you.
She did come up, and I said, can I please have my Western burger?
She said, I'm not dealing with it.
She walked away.
Because they're mopping the floor, and it's all full of suds, and they don't want to go through there.
And?
And, ma'am, then I suggest you get your money back and go somewhere else.
This is not a criminal issue.
We can't go out there.
And make them make you a cheeseburger the way you want it.
Well, you're supposed to be here to protect me.
What are we protecting you from, a wrong cheeseburger?
No.
Is this a harmful cheeseburger or something?
I don't understand what you want us to do.
Well, just come down here.
I'm not leaving.
No, ma'am, I'm not sitting with deputies down there over a cheeseburger.
You need to go in there and act like an adult and either get your money back and go home.
Stop acting like an adult herself.
I'm not sitting here in my car.
I just want them to make my kids a western burger.
Ma'am, this is what I suggest.
I suggest you get your money back from the manager and you go on your way home.
Okay.
Okay.

All right, all right, all right, all right.
It's the More Music Radio Pod.
It's Thursday, June 16th.
And tonight we're going to have Olean.
Olean is here hanging out with us.
And Olean is going to be playing some songs.
We're going to be playing some tracks from Olean.
You.
You just heard that last song was last week when the Mormons, our band, did some mobile unit live here at Skid Row Studios.
And before that was some crazy bitch calling 911 because they got her burger order wrong.
It was an emergency.
So, yeah, it was a lot of fun last week, man.
We finally got to play at Skid Row Studios, man.
Someone finally had us on their radio show.
That's really cool.
Yeah.
That's cool of them.
And we want to thank the More Music Radio Pod for having us in.
And maybe we'll come back.
We'll see.
You know what I mean?
How did you guys get the Mormons on here anyway?
I don't know.
I know a couple of them.
So, yeah, we got a lot planned tonight on the More Music Radio Pod.
We had some food cooking up and it's another party.
How are you guys doing tonight, man?
Q-Bole, what's up, Olean?
We've been silent over here.
But, hey, you know what?
I was.
I was in the fucking audience last week.
I heard you guys.
Oh, yeah?
I heard it go.
And it sounded fucking great.
Oh, cool.
Thanks, man.
Thanks.
Appreciate it, man.
Yeah.
This is our 10th episode, man.
I was at home.
These guys were right here.
Oh, okay.
Cool, cool, cool.
I was like, do you guys play on stage, too?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We've been playing for many years.
We play on stage.
That thing.
Well, see, that thing that we were doing is our mobile unit.
And it's like a portable setup.
We have these battery-powered amps.
And we have, like, these Triton marching drones with, like, a snare on it and stuff.
And we go around and play pretty much wherever the fuck we want.
You know, if something's going on, we'll just appear.
It's a lot of fun.
It's a lot of fun for most people.
Some people don't find it so fun.
Hey, man, you can open up for Led Zeppelin anytime you want.
That ain't fun.
You play on real shitty.
We play on real shitty equipment.
And then so people don't realize that we suck.
Yeah, yeah.
No, it's the equipment, man.
It ain't us.
Don't worry about it.
But, yeah, man, you know what?
I've been blaming it on the audience.
I've been speaking to that.
Yeah, like.
Do you have any crazy stories to tell about, you know, when you've done Mobile Unit?
Like, didn't some shit happen at the South Pasadena fucking farmer's market?
Oh, yeah, man.
We were attacked by white people at the South Pasadena's farmer's market, man.
You can check it out on just Google it.
It's always the most unlikely.
It's a video called When White People Attack.
Make it angry.
Let me guess, red faces?
Yeah.
Coming at you.
Red faces and blue eyes and horns.
Denim shirts involved in this.
How dare you come try to play your music at this community event?
Yeah.
It was a trip, man.
And the guy tried to wrestle.
He called a 911.
There was a big old scuffle over.
We just wanted to go play at the farmer's market, man.
And it was cool.
If you guys get a chance, go check it out.
It's called When White People Attack, Mormon's Mobile Unit.
Turn that damn ring off, camera.
That's one more thing, boys.
We got to check that out.
Yeah, it's a lot of fun, man.
But you know what, man?
I want to just jump into it because we have Olean in studio.
And we're going to talk to the guys.
And you guys are also going to play some music live here at Skid Row Studios.
I'm going to try.
All right, man.
Yeah, dude.
So let's jump into the first couple songs.
And we'll be right back with Olean on the More Music Radio Pod.
Yeah.
Don't take this offensively.

So you guys started as a punk rock band?
Yeah, we started as a punk band.
Backyards, man.
Backyards.
The whole band, Olin, we started in 94, but our roots go back to the mid 80s when we were playing punk.
I actually played at these guys' bedroom when I was in like, I don't know, 15.
I was really young.
Which is considered a gig, if you're 14.
It was a gig and it was at these guys' pad.
Yeah, a garage, anything, anywhere.
That's how it was.
Because Fisthead was playing.
So I don't know if you know Jimmy Alvarado, but Jimmy Alvarado, who's a writer, but he was also the leader of a band called Butt Acne.
And it was the Alvarado brothers.
Say that one to your mom and dad.
What band you playing?
In 1986, I joined this group and then played punk rock up until the next four years.
Until social distortion got really bad.
Fuck.
That's the fucking point now.
Actually, I left LA when social distortion hit because, come on.
Getting back to Culture Clash, though.
Culture Clash, actually, we watched these cats doing this comedy show where Chicano comedy, Chicano views were being expressed.
And by Chicano, I mean, we are Chicanos.
We're Mexican people who are born in the United States and are sometimes in limbo.
And between these two different...
Shut the fuck up.
And between two worlds...
Why?
Fuck that shit.
Chicano...
Your brother's fucking up your role, man.
We were hired by Culture Clash to compose...
First of all, to compose music for Chavez Ravine.
It's a play.
I mean, Culture Clash is a group of artists who are playwrights and actors.
And they write plays and perform them all the time.
And so, a couple of projects they had us work with, one is called Chavez Ravine.
It's a story of LA.
We like to tell these stories.
Olean, what we do now is tell stories about our city.
Right.
So, tell us a little bit more about the play.
Right.
It's...
Because there's a long history that people don't realize about Chavez Ravine when they go to Dodger Stadium.
Chavez Ravine is Elysian Park.
And before it was Elysian Park, it was a ranch.
And in the early part of Los Angeles, when it was actually becoming an industrialized city, that's where a lot of Mexican people lived.
Before that, however, in 1846, 1848, that's when actually LA became a part of America.
Even before that.
It was a ranch.
It was Mexico.
So, these Mexican people who lived in beautiful Los Angeles were kind of ostracized to live in this one spot called Chavez Ravine where it currently sits, Dodger Stadium.
Right.
In the 40s and 50s, the city of LA kind of got this idea to take that land and to build community housing.
Which was a good thing because it was kind of...
There was hardly plumbing.
There was hardly plumbing and that kind of stuff up in the 40s and 50s for these residents up there.
As the city did that, private interests came in and fucked the city and the city fucked them.
And they got in bed together and decided that the land would be way more profitable if they kicked these people who lived there, who owned houses, who are buried with their ancestors.
If they kicked them out, they could take that land and make some huge money off it.
That's what the story is.
They were right.
And all that for now.
I mean, look at the Dodgers now.
They fucking suck, man.
Shit.
All that fucking...
They wiped everybody out for all that bullshit.
Hey, but the whole play is about Fernando.
Fernando.
A bunch of ghosts.
Yeah.
For all this.
Well, again.
So, the story is that the Dodgers are like, we're going to go to the!
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Well, again.
So, we did this play.
This kind of talks about the history.
And how we are here in LA.
And things are pretty much...
Nothing has changed.
Things are veiled.
And given different titles.
And different names.
But the fucking same.
Dirty city.
Politics.
Is even worse.
Right.
And we fucking eat it up.
Right.
Well.
Well.
Well.
Play rock music.
Tell me where to throw this Molotov, man.
No, but I think one of the cool things about it is when we did this play at the Mark Taper Forum, it was in 2003, we did a full run, which is like 11 weeks.
And what happened is the people who lived there came to the shows, man.
They were older, and they told us their story.
So it was a big thing where the city took the land from the Mexican people, but their beautiful stories and their lineage populate L.A.
now.
This sort of research kind of came out of it and enriched us because it was a beautiful gig, but then it became something even bigger.
And that's why we got to travel around with this play and not only do it in L.A.
and tell this uniquely L.A.
story in other cities.
And how many shows did you do?
At the Taper, we did like 80, something like that.
Wow.
11 weeks.
We did seven shows a week.
And when we say we, it's a culture class show.
We just happened to be on stage playing music.
Check this out.
How'd you hook up with them?
The reason we actually got this gig is because my brother and myself, we had Olin, and the band started falling apart, man.
That was like, we were down just to meet him.
We used to have like fucking 12 motherfuckers on stage, and it was just me and him.
And then we got a call from one of their friends, Herbert, the bald guy, was having a bachelor party.
Oh.
So fuck, me and Scott were like, oh, fuck, it's gonna be all dudes and shit.
Fuck, it's just me and you show up and do it.
And so me and Scott showed up with guitars, set up a band, and they liked it.
They liked just me and my brother, like, just, you know, doing our songs.
And they had seen us before, though.
We had played with them way before, but, you know, we were just starting out.
So anyway, they gave us the audition, and we took it, man.
And we didn't have to look back.
And we actually, this whole gig, musically, as a working musician, changed my life, because, I mean, before that, we were just like, you know, like anyone else, show up and try to have as much fun and party and play music, which is cool.
But this kind of changed us because all of a sudden, we're telling a story, man, that really, really meant something.
And plus, having to deal with those guys, like, fuck.
Man, that's great.
They want some music, boom.
It's gotta be kind of done like that.
That's great, man.
So what was the progression from going from a punk band to the style that you guys are playing now?
And tell us about your style.
I mean, it's not just, traditional Mexican music.
It's just, it's a lot, it encompasses a lot of stuff, right?
Yeah, it's all, I guess it's rock-based, you know, and that's why people can enjoy it, or some may not, you know, but.
I'd like to know the ones that don't.
We were doing punk rock, right?
And then, how do you get to this?
We stopped doing punk rock completely.
My brother and myself, we actually moved up to the Bay Area for two years.
And when we were there, we kind of, before we left, we were, you know, had a lot of punk rock friends in the backyards and stuff.
And we left, and when we went to Berklee, we started getting into the Chicano consciousness of, you know, reading about our history and that kind of stuff.
And maybe just missing our friends and fucking nothing else to do besides go along with the politic that's around in Berklee.
So we picked up acoustic guitars.
I didn't know a fucking chord.
And Scott, you know, started working on his songwriting, which he writes most, songs.
And we really got into Los Lobos, who we had heard before, of course, because of La Bamba, but we never got into their music, their Jarocho music.
Right, right.
Because that we could connect to because we hated fucking Mexican music before that.
Man, fuck that.
Yeah, that's how it is when you're young, right?
You're just like, oh, man, your nana's playing that shit.
You're like, oh, man, this again?
God damn.
But we were home.
We missed it, so we started emulating those sounds.
And then, we moved, moved back in 94, the edge of 94, and we called all our punk rock friends to fucking bring the acoustic guitars.
And that's it.
And let's, let's see what happens.
And just to have fun.
At barbecues and shit.
And then, uh, is Scott made it serious.
And fuck, he was gonna turn it back after that.
So we, you know, we, we taught, we had to teach ourselves how to play these Mexican instruments.
From where'd you learn?
We, uh, ourselves.
Yeah, just play, just play by ear, play by ear.
And then, and then, and then studied a little bit app, like after the fact, like a lot of cats coming, came, that we came, uh, you know, like toe to toe with already fucking studied shit.
You know what I mean?
Ozo and, you know, and all those kinds of cats, you know what I mean?
They, they, you know, they went through Cal arts.
I'd never fucking picked up a book.
All the part time mariachis.
So, so like what, so like, would you say like the, when you guys hooked up with culture clash, like that's when, when things started, you know, like we, we had, I mean, with the precedent of this whole thing was in, before we met culture class in 94 was to stop with the, with the electrics.
And because when we first started, well, Dean, there was no drum set, no electric, nothing.
This all acoustic guitars for, and we saw for, for, yeah, bad dude, like real bad, yeah, loud and shit with, with all our girlfriends singing and shit.
That was, yeah, that was, that was like, and truly in 94, there was, there was some, but check this out.
Our first gig that I remember was with, uh, this man named Lalo Guerrero.
Oh yeah, man.
That was the first gig that I had with Olin.
Wow.
And we sucked early on, but, and, and the cool thing is like, I remember this guy after we finished the gig, like you, I remember like you were, you were like walking, carrying his amp for him or shit.
He's kind of like hobbling and stuff.
He was like, fuck yeah.
Oh man.
That's fucking awesome, man.
Yeah.
You, we got a track coming up from Lalo.
I think it might be the next one, man.
Yeah.
I mean, speaking of it, yeah, man.
so, uh, you guys are going to play some songs with us after we play these songs.
Uh, speaking of Lalo Guerrero, we, we got, uh, Marijuana Boogie coming up right now.
And, uh, speaking of that, that sounds like a good opportunity for a break.
You know what I mean?
Hey, and when we come back, uh, we'll have Olin play, um, a couple songs live at Skid Row Studios on the more music radio pod.
Yeah.
Play La Bamba and stuff, man.
All right.
So, all right.
We'll be back.
You are listening to the more music radio pod.

Hey, what was that song called, man?
It's called Smiling Moon.
Smiling Moon.
That was nice, man.
Thank you.
Awesome, dude.
It's probably the only one we got until we changed instruments and stuff.
Cool.
What do you play right now?
This instrument?
Yeah.
This is called the Requinto Jarocho.
Oh, okay.
I'm glad you didn't say it was a guitar because if he says a guitar, I'm going to...
It looks kind of like a big, fat ukulele.
I think I've used that joke.
Well, cool, man.
You guys want to do another one?
Oh, we do, but we want to fight about it for another 10 minutes.
Oh, okay, yeah.
What are your gripes?
Let's get into it.
These assholes.
No, you know what?
I actually want to say hello to a friend, Jimmy.
Jimmy Alvarado gave a little Yamada to the show, and he's out there listening.
Oh, what's happening, Jimmy?
All right.
Hello, Jimmy.
And if anybody wants to call in and talk to Olean, the toll-free number is 1-800-893-9562.
Let's dig up some dirt.
Well, I didn't expect a call from Jimmy because Jimmy, I'm not a fan of you.
I'm not a fan of you.
Jimmy, we've been around 17 years, which means we've produced a lot of ex-members.
Right.
What's the number up to?
The Bitter Ex-Member Militia is now 317.
Are you serious?
Bitter Ex-Member Militia.
Are you joking?
Jimmy would say that's a very conservative.
Oh, my God.
But that's Jimmy, and he'll be calling in.
Wow, we found somebody who beat our record.
Our record is, I think, we're on our 18th member right now.
But fuck, man.
300.
So what are you guys going to play for us next?
Let's see.
Our instrumentation in hand.
I'm going to start with La Bruja.
La Bruja.
All right.
We don't have to bend you.
All right.
Do it like that.
I have to.
All right.
Try it?
You can try it.
Let's do it.
All right.
We're going to fuck this up.
This song is called.
We're going to practice this.
All right.
All right.
All right.
If I can get the intro right.
Alright.
Shit.
Ay, qué bonito es volar.
A las 2 de la mañana.
A las 2 de la mañana.
Ay, qué bonito es volar.

On skid row.

One, two, three, four.
Pop up the stairs.
Uncased guitar in one hand.
Percussion bag in the other.
The kids across the street, although they have now grown, soup up their ramflas.
Karen's dog, Fatso, lies in the middle of Rambo's drive.
Her dark, watery eyes follow my wicked path.
Yeah, my city terrace neighborhood seems peaceful.

And I'm like, aw man, I would, you know, but I gotta get to practice and shit, I'm late.
They were unconvinced.
With a blank look in his eye and a joint in his mouth, the leader of the pack flexes up.
And he's right around my face and he's like, well then blaze it then, dog.
And I'm like, aw shit, well, I don't have any, dog, but Casper's got the chronic.
And in unison they're like, nah.
And I'm like, yeah.
Yeah.
One of the little badasses speaks up, he's like, yeah, but every time we go to Casper's pad, his Fita throws us out.
And one of his own boys is like, nah man, she throws your sprung ass out.
She's down with us.
And they start laughing and shit and they take all that bad energy away.
And I sense that, I'm like, alright, uh, dogs, I gotta go to practice before Kenny smokes all this shit.
And they start laughing again.

More Radio at skidroad.la.
All right.
Welcome back to the More Music Radio pod with Olean.
In studio.
All right.
Those were our friends, 400 Blows.
They were here a few weeks ago.
And, yeah, man, so we're here with Olean.
You just heard him play a couple songs.
And so, yeah, man, I want to talk to you guys about, like, some of the other stuff that you've done.
You guys, you were telling me that you did something with Ry Cooter.
Tell me what it was working with that guy.
And explain to everybody who he is.
Who is that guy?
Oh, talking to that one, I think.
Ry Cooter is just a musician, you know, who's been working the circuit forever and should be fucking retired and put out the pasture already.
He's stealing people's ideas.
Was that another one of those pink faces you were talking about?
No, no, I was, he, Ry is very sly and he approaches in a whole different way, man.
So.
Those are the ones you really got to watch out for.
What did you do with them?
Like, what did you do?
I bent over.
And just took it, right?
Couldn't feel it at first.
But, yeah, I mean, and you guys have played with a lot of people, too.
You played with Los Lobos.
You were talking about Ozo Motley.
No, I wasn't.
And then you also, you also got to play with the Pogues, man.
Tell us about how you guys got that gig.
We got their attention by, by.
Emulating them, I guess, you know.
We, you know, once a year we, since we're, you know, fans of, of, of, they're from Randy's Lockdown.
But we're fans of their music and folk, and folk music in general.
And we, we decided to, to do a tribute to them, you know, 10 years ago on tour.
We, we, one thing about Olen is we, we started touring like the minute we started, you know.
Like, maybe 94, 95, we're already in the road, you know, just doing it.
Like a full U.S.
tour?
No.
Just, you know, like.
Like fools?
You know, like, you know, Boyle Heights, Lincoln Heights.
All the Heights.
City Terrace.
So you played all that, you did a tour of all the Heights and Terraces?
No, we would, we would get in a van and go as, as far, pretty much through the Aslan, which is Texas, Arizona, Oregon, Washington.
I mean, for us anyway.
Our Aslan's a little extended.
But, you know.
It's five minutes off the highway.
Cool, man.
So you, you played, so I heard that they, they like saw you guys playing a show and then they asked you to play with them at the Wiltern?
Right, right.
You know, they, they, we, we, we made, we just made a point of, of meeting them and, you know, just, and they were, they were very receptive.
So, you know, they're, they're musicians themselves and, and, and kind of like, at first it was a whole novelty thing of these Chicanos.
You know, playing and they're like, they would like, these guys play our music and shit, you know?
And, and, and so that, that, you know, it's intriguing to them, I guess.
Oh, cool, man.
And you've also, you've also like your, your other trumpet player, this guy, Vincent Valdez, he also did something with Rykuder, going back to that guy?
He, he, he liked the paint.
Yeah, he, he bent over way more than I did, but.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So what happened, man?
I want to know, like, what, what do you mean he bent over?
Did he literally bend you over and rape you?
No, no, no.
It's, it's, it's, uh, well.
It would have been nicer if he did.
Does it, yeah, I know.
Does it digit count?
No, it, it, it's, it's not even that.
We, we, we like to pin things on people, but, but it, it just, it's just fucking weird and suspicious when, when, you know, when you meet these people come into your orbit, you know, I mean, why, you know, we, we did Project Rye, Rye came to our studio.
We've never been to his place.
Right.
You know what I mean?
So he came and wanted to know what we were about.
And Vincent Valdez, who was our trumpet player, the artist you're talking about, who was a brilliant painter and even more.
But he, again, talking about Chavez Ravine, which we talked about at the top of the show, Vincent did this painting of Chavez Ravine on this truck that he bought.
Keep in mind.
It was an ice cream truck, wasn't it?
Right.
The same time that Culture Clash...
What the hell is going on?
We're selling license plates.
No, no.
So the same time that Culture Clash did Chavez Ravine, Rye fucking came.
He was in the front row when we were doing this play we were talking about.
I remember seeing him there on opening night, put out a record called Chavez Ravine.
Oh, okay.
You know what I mean?
There's a pattern going on.
He starts hanging out with us.
I'm here, man.
We put out a record in 97 called San Patricios.
2007.
Yeah, 2007 called San Patricios.
2010, Rye puts one out called San Patricio.
Are you serious?
Oh, man.
And it sounds better.
It's way better than ours, but...
I just like your style, man.
You guys should do something really lame so he could copy that and...
All on his face.
Can do.
Yeah.
Coming right up.
Now you're thinking, Vince.
Yeah, man.
But I mean...
Yeah.
I mean, 18 years, man.
You guys have done a lot.
And of course, you've run through characters like that and stuff.
And I mean, what are you guys doing aside from that?
I mean, I know you guys are teachers, right?
You guys are music teachers.
That's right.
You know, we have a...
Everyone here teaches and stuff, but we have a studio out here in Boyle Heights called the Brooklyn Music Center.
And we've had this space for nine years.
It's been our own personal stash.
Within the last year, basically opened up a business, knocked down some walls and made some nice floor space and opened up a business.
And so bands could come in and rehearse for fucking 10 bucks an hour.
Wow.
10 bucks an hour.
Did I plug myself?
Where's that at?
Where is that?
Where is that?
Brooklyn Music Center.
Yeah.
Look it up.
And tell us about the original School of Rock.
Oh, man.
I only did it once or twice, but, uh...
You know.
So, I mean, that's where you, like, work with kids, right?
No, that's why I smoke and a whole bunch of rock.
During the day, myself, I'm a middle school music teacher at a place called Pio Pico Middle School.
And I'm a middle school teacher for LA Unified.
And I teach band.
My program is a rock band that I teach all day.
It's like, you know, when you went to middle school and you played, you know, fucking tuba or whatever.
We do a rock band all day.
So, that's not just like a cool hipster vest that you're wearing.
You actually...
No.
Check it out today.
You didn't just, like, pick that up and look like I would've done, like, some...
Motherfucker.
Today, I had my final concert since the end of the year.
And here's a question to you.
What's the last song that we played today?
Because I'm a sixth, seventh, eighth grade teacher.
The last song we played, what's, like, the number one?
Remember when we did that firecracker countdown shit?
What was always number one?
You better get it right, too.
Yeah.
You better get it right, too.
Wait, wait, wait.
What?
The last song you played was Baruch?
No, no.
I don't know, man.
He got you, though.
All right.
I'm sorry.
I remember you from the house, motherfucker.
I do.
Well, cool, man.
Got me back then, too.
Fuck.
I still love you, too.
So, that's good, man.
I mean, you guys are teaching youngsters and stuff.
And what kind of stuff do you like to pass on to them?
Well, check it out.
What's your method?
I do music to left.
I do bass.
I do bass.
He's a bass player.
He is a veteran teacher.
I've only been two years, man, for L.E.
Unified.
This man teaches a beautiful thing called special education, too.
There are special needs children that are there every day, along with everyone else, you know?
The job I got was from this man right here.
So, thank you, man.
Well, that's awesome, man.
You're welcome.
Yeah.
We had the kids of Whitney High, and they were in a couple weeks ago.
You know those guys?
I know of Whitney High, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So- It was a cool show, man.
Yeah, man, they were cool.
They came in and they played a couple songs and stuff.
And the guy Michael Monaghan started up this music program.
And it's, you know, with alumni from the school, you know, mentally disabled and physically disabled people and stuff.
And he has this backing band.
And, in fact, Tony plays drums in the kids of Whitney High.
We had him come in.
And so, I mean, I really commend you for that, man.
That's really cool.
Is Miko over there?
You know Miko?
No, I don't know Miko.
No.
So, yeah, man, why don't we get you guys to play a couple more songs, man?
Are you guys in the mood?
What do you think?
Yeah, man.
So what are you guys going to play next for us?
The fighting song.
Again?
The reprise.
Now, we're just going to grab some instruments and then we'll be back in two seconds.
So these guys are going to grab some instruments.
And while they're doing that, I want to remind you guys that are listening live, you can call.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la Time took our youth Vietnam stole our sun We tried to mend our hearts But the damage was done Drifted apart in four lines of our own Like strangers on the street Shed the same home We watched the world change Forged a war all our own Committed to ruin To pride and move on We can't trade our hearts For you and your head Here I kneel at your grave Should be me instead Fell toes three times Till I paid No mind, I just go on School's long gone I got nothing but doubt Always too soon Hearts change too But true love will go on forever Where did it all go?
Life's just about gone Life's just about gone I played me on the ground Where did it all go?
Life's just about gone Life's just about gone Where did it all go?

A star anew to live and work in busy Boyle Heights.
Here, enterprising goyim can make a decent life.
Or pack things up and move out west away from Boyle Heights.
Or let cool pockets last as far as the hips of some new like.

Oh, but on Grand and Third Street.
Now, would you say there's going to be a lot of bitches there?

I gotta tell you though, boys, this song does require a little bit of inspiration that needs to be lit and carried up to the sky.
Sure, I'll get that prepared for you right away.
Let me pack another one of those things that we like.
I like that this table's full of weed and visine.
Fellas, we got it.
We got it coming from everywhere.
Oh shit, I got weed being rained down on me right now.
What a fucking dream.
That last song got us like breaking plates all over.
Up and smoke.
Alright.
Did you guys want a hit of this inspiration?
Get on that mic and put these headphones right on.
Put them on.
Alright, so tonight, this weekend, we'll be at the Cali.
California Plaza.
Same time.
You're saying it's like a spoken word thing?
What is it?
It's a literary event called Tongue and Groove.
So all these writers are gonna come up and read their works.
Bunch of cool writers.
What's your band name again?
It's Olin.
Like the Olin twins, right?
Olin.
Hope we can come back one of these days.
Hell yeah, man.
You're always welcome here at the More Music Radio pod, man.
Should we take a call?
I don't know.
He looks like he's getting ready.
Should we do it?
Alright.
We want to dedicate this song to our friends, the Mormons.
Here we go.

And so, yeah, he has paintings of us in his bedroom.
And I have this weird, like, look on my face.
You know what I mean?
But overlooking his bedroom.
I mean, like, he tells me.
It's like, what the fuck?
The artist, actually, his name is Eloy Torres.
He did the Anthony Quinn.

And this guy is just like, I also wrote a song right now.
You guys want to hear it?
Oh, shit.

Maybe you could be the 317th member of the league.
If it's going to be Beaners.
All right.
Hey, guys, check it out.
I just wrote this song.
Okay.
Beaners.
You're going to tell me if you're going to like this song.
Okay, let's hear it.
Let's hear it.
Beaners.
Yeah.
I was going to pick my room until I got high.
Oh, this.
I was going to get up and find the blue, but then I got high.
Nice.
All right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Genius.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can dig that.
I think I want to hear Beaners, man.
I like that jam, dude.
Beaners.
I thought the cat was setting me up, man.
I felt like it.
That's a cool jam.
You have to do.
You guys like that song?
Yeah, cool.
I do, man.
Thank you, dude.
I just wrote it.
I just wrote it about an hour ago.
That's cool, man.
Sounds great.
You even got it all.
An hour ago, it takes an hour to get it all processed on your phone and everything, dude.
That's pretty cool.
Well, you know, Pro Tools.
Fuck yeah.
Cool, man.
Chinese Pro Tools.
I use Chinese Pro Tools.
Good job, Lee.
Good job.
All right, Lee, man.
Thanks for calling, dude.
All right, man.
Hey, keep the movement.
Keep the movement going.
Simone, I said.
Yeah.
Cool, man.
That was Lee from the Piñata Hour.
And you can listen to the Piñata Hour on skidroad.la every Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Cool.
What do they do?
What do they play?
They play like a lot of stuff, man.
They have a guy spinning vinyl.
You know, they play like, you know, a lot of Spanish rock, a lot of, you know, cumbias, a lot of the punk rock.
But anything you can think of, man.
It's just this guy has just a huge collection of records and stuff.
And he plays a bunch of stuff.
It's a cool show, man.
And I also want to give a- I'm shaking that face.
I also want to- That's because I've got like a little piece of something stuck in my- I got a sharp moco right here and it's kind of itching me, you know?
Don't you hate when you get that, man?
You get that- Yeah.
And you try to get it out, but you like end up stabbing yourself way on the inside of the membrane.
You will cut your face.
Yeah, man.
So that's what- Yeah.
I'm tearing up right now and stuff, man.
But yeah, that reminds me, man.
I also want to give a shout out to the other shows on Skid Row Studio.
We got LaFrost and Mo's show tomorrow night.
Ooh.
The LaFrost and Mo's show tomorrow night on Friday nights at nine o'clock or something, Jeremy?
That's right.
That's right.
That's right.
And Jeremy, there's a new show, right?
The Love Bite show, right?
Yeah, the Love Bite show.
We did a pilot this past Sunday and it did really well.
I think people like sex, so look out for that in the future.
Yeah, they were talking about- Sex, so when some people- Are you giving the advice, homeboy?
You back there?
Is it- They were talking about dildos versus vibrators.
Yeah, the one chick said the first thing she put up her ass was a pencil.
Right.
She said it all nonchalantly.
And they're all into safety, too, because the other one was saying, oh, be sure you put a condom on top of it because you don't want to get no splinters.
They put those on these mics when they're in here.
So yeah, man, the Frost and Mo's show, there's verbal vomit.
We got a bunch of stuff going on here at skidrow.la, man.
So what's up, guys?
Are you guys feeling like another?
Are you guys feeling like another song, or are you guys pooped out, or I mean, what's your- Otra, otra, otra, otra, otra, otra, otra, otra.
Yeah, let's squeeze another one out.
Yeah, man.
Whoa, stop.
Are you flattened yet?
Mota, mota, mota, mota, mota.
Hey, can we- Should I play a carol again?
Into Loma?
I mean, if we're going to play a song, we have to have you guys fucking join us and share.
Somewhere, somewhere.
You're a drummer, right?
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
All right.
I'll get in on it.
What do you want me to do?
If we're going to do it in a flat, we need a little bit of swing.
Not so much money.

G-Grupa.
More Calvin.
I love him.

All aboard.
Yeah, man, I've been waiting for fucking three hours.
Man, I heard angels fly.
What did they say about?
All I know is I take this train and it takes me right up to the heavens.
You can't get to heaven if the train is broken.
You can't get to heaven if the train is broken.
You can't get to heaven if the train is broken.
You can't get to heaven.

Come on, let's get to heaven.
Ten cents?
Can't get to heaven if the train is broken.
I said, baby, take me away on an angel's flight.
I said, baby, take me away on an angel's flight.
Well, it's summertime, but the fish ain't jumping.
The living is easy if you just say nothing.
Or you'll be behind bars, black cotton and corn.
That's the truth.
Forget it, it's all Chinatown.
You build a village, you'll tear it down.
Take to your wings and fly.
I said, baby, I'm feeling natural.
Baby, I'm more than what you take me.
Away on an angel's flight.
Angel and Whitney.
Baby, I'm the Lord in natural.
Baby, I'm the Lord after what you take me.
Take it to heaven, because the train is broken.
Yeah.

And again, we want to thank you guys for coming in and playing some music for us.

We love it.
We have to give our thank yous to of course for our host who fed us and had fun with us and made us feel comfortable that we can, you know, share some music with you.
Of course, our families, our wives, Lydia.
I love you.
Aw, how cute.
But, I mean, you guys just made it fucking great for us, man.
Thanks.
I know.
We're really good.
We just showed up and fucking had a party with you guys, man.
It's pretty easy.
And can we say again, I mean, it's just me and my brother have been talking all night, but of course we have Gilbert DeSoto with us.
Gilbert DeSoto on bass?
Gilbert DeSoto is not just our bass player, but he's Gilbert DeSoto who plays bass and he's kind of a quiet guy.
And Angel Watt is.
Angel Watt is.
What do you got to say, Gilbert?
Do you guys want to give a shout out to the other guys in the band that weren't able to make it tonight?
Fuck those faggots, man.
Those other guys.
Nah.
Nah.
All right, man.
We love them all, though.
I'd like to tell any musicians or any people in bands that the place that we're at right now is a great spot in L.A.
And it's reminiscent of the places that we used to play, like Al's Bar, like Mr. T's, like, fuck, where else did we used to play?
That's it.
That's all the only places I used to fucking play.
Yeah, Al's Bar and Mr. T's pretty much, man.
I mean, really, those were the best places, man.
That's where our paths had crossed before.
We were doing different stuff, but, I mean, that's where we're still sharing our moments and stuff, man.
Thank you, brothers.
Thank you.
Thank you, man.
Thanks, man.
So with that, we're going to have Dan read off a couple things that are happening in Los Angeles this weekend.
Yeah.
What do you guys I mean, other than the Saturday night show, man, you guys might want to listen up.
Maybe you guys might not be doing anything or something, you know.
Can we take babies?
Father's Day, huh?
Baby.
Father's Day, that's right.
That's right.
So, yeah.
Shout out.

So, yeah, I want to thank Vince.
Just so everybody knows, when you're listening out there, who we're talking about here, we've got Vince hosting the show.
Oh, thank you.
I really appreciate it.
And I'm Dan here, kind of making a bunch of background noise.
And, yeah, Olean was awesome tonight.
And now that it's not quite Friday yet, but tomorrow, you can check out my friend Dave Nitez.
Played with him last night.
He used to be in the Mormons, in fact.
He was in the Dyslexics.
Actually, the Dyslexics.
A long time ago, the Dyslexics.
Premormons.
But anyway, they're playing at Mariachi Plaza.
They're going to be doing the whole Rubber Soul album, actually.
Yeah, it should be fun.
I think they go on at like 8 or something like that.
That's some good freebie stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
That's tomorrow.
It'll be happening right on the street.
That's on Friday, right?
I mean, if you're not listening live, you know, if it isn't, if you're listening to this and it's not June 16th, on a Thursday, then you're probably listening to the podcast.
Maybe it's Friday, so why don't you come out right now?
Just get dressed.
Let's go.
Come on.
Yep.
And then Saturday, you're going to see Olean at the California Plaza, 350 South Grand, 90012, right in the LA, right there.

There's Best Coast, Ra Ra Riot, Socorro.

Do you guys know who that guy is?
Long time ago, real quick, this guy, he was on a public access show, this black dude.
And he would sing songs with these puppets.
And more recently, he's been on the Tim and Eric show.
I don't know if you guys caught that thing.
But he would.
He'd be the guy singing with the puppets and stuff.
And we're going to have him come in.
And it's cool because we used to watch him when we were younger on public access.
And we saw him on Tim and Eric.
We're like, oh, my God, that's the guy from the Christian Science Bible lesson, man.
I met him over at a—he hangs out at the La Brea Tar Pits Park.
And I ran into him there.
Wow.
