Episode 236: Jack Johnson’s “Brushfire Fairytales” with Grady Spencer

The guys are joined by Grady Spencer of Grady Spencer and the Work to discuss “Brushfire Fairytales” from Jack Johnson (his debut album)  Plenty of other discussion including the new Grady Spencer and the Work album called "Wait" (go check that out) and other topics like 1985 station wagons, Paducah Texas, being in the mood to listen to Jack, PG versions of Sublime, drop your phone and watch it, the news, surfing, nostalgia and Chinese home runs, and how Jack lays down some heavy social commentary...Jack songs are not just about pancakes and monkeys.

Foo Fighters Sidecast Part One – Foo Fighters self-titled Debut

Ben, Wayne and repeat revisitor Jeff Frame kick off the Records Revisited Podcast special “Sidecast” project with special guest Barrett Jones.  Barrett helped Dave record and produce that first record (really it’s a Dave Grohl solo album).  Some fun tidbits are included about that process and we set the stage for the rest of the "Sidecast" or whatever the heck we're gonna end up calling these additional episodes.  

Full disclosure: This episode was recorded BEFORE the passing of Taylor Hawkins so no mention of Taylor is in this episode.  We’ll address that in Part Two of the Sidecast.

Matt Nathanson returns...thanks to Patreon Revisitor Dave Greenberg picking Aimee Mann's "Whatever." We talk about "Achtung Matty" and Aimee's first solo record with plenty of other discussion like not wearing a shirt, ageism, is this a duets record, Jon Brion, Cameron Crowe, Paula Kelley kills it on the string arrangements, why Matt can't listen to some of our episodes, what is exactly is the word, and Ben has computer problems which prompts Wayne into being the host for 6 minutes...and he does a swimmingly good job at it.  

One note...we need to get Dave his own microphone for his next Patreon Revisitor episode.  Regardless, y'all are gonna love this one.
