Hey again! Jason here to get you ready for another episode of CrossFade. This time, we’re excited to welcome cohort Janet Garcia, who’s bringing Foo Fighters’ “In Your Honor” to the show. Matt assigned her “good kid, m.A.A.d city” from Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar. Leave questions and song suggestions for Matt and Janet on this post!

Send Us Songs & Questions!

What do you think of these albums? What’s that burning music question you can’t get out of your head? What song are you listening to a lot right now? Like, too much? Send us your questions and song suggestions by the end of the day Tuesday and we’ll do our best to bring them up in our community portion at the end of the episode.

CrossFade is MinnMax’s music podcast hosted by Matt Helgeson and produced by me where a guest has Matt review one of their favorite albums and vice versa. We publish every other Friday, so subscribe, rate, and review wherever you get podcasts: https://apple.co/3kWBb5K

Here’s what you need to know for this episode:

  • Janet Garcia is a writer, podcaster, and streamer who became a MinnMax cohort in April. You might recognize her as a regular on the MinnMax Show, our game streams, and other MinnMax content, but you may also know her from her own streams, podcasts, and guest appearances on Kinda Funny, Game Xplain, and more.
  • Foo Fighters’ “In Your Honor” is a 2005 rock album and the band’s fifth record. It topped the charts and was nominated for five Grammys, but it didn’t win any, breaking the band’s three-album Grammy winning streak. This is also the first time I’m realizing the band is not called “The Foo Fighters.”
  • “good kid, m.A.A.d city” is Kendrick Lamar’s second album and draws from his own upbringing in songs about growing up in Compton amid gang violence, meager means, and a cast of characters (several of which he plays himself by just changing his voice). It helped put Kendrick Lamar on the map and is one of the reasons you know his name today.

We were just talking about Foo Fighters with Jason Graves, our previous guest, and it’ll be fun to dig in for real. Matt and Janet both know and like Kendrick Lamar, but Janet says she’s “gone back and forth” on “good kid, m.A.A.d city” in particular, so I’m excited to find out where she lands after this listen – and I’m excited to find out what you think of both albums!

Even if we don’t get to your song this episode, we’ll add it to the CrossFade Community Spotify Playlist (https://spoti.fi/3aRRgox) and your song might be pulled on a future Community Shuffle episode, so keep sharing!

Thanks for checking it out!

Foo fighters In Your Honor was the first physical album(s) I owned. Naturally I listened to these disks a million times. Love the idea of a hard v soft album. Of course I think a good song to pick from that album is its namesake, "In Your Honor" Cool thanks !

Foo Fighters has been one of the most influential bands in my life. Dave Grohl is an absolute legend and has continued to be a positive role model over his long career. What other Dave projects do you guys like?? I particularly like the drums he did for tenacious D and queens of the stone age... Oh and this other band you've probably never heard of called Nirvana or something

Despite not loving any of their output since 2011's Wasting Light, Foo Fighters are still my usual answer for the "what is your favorite band" question, based almost entirely on how much I have listened to them in the past and how into them I was in junior high and high school. Do any of you have any "honorary" favorite bands, that you don't listen to as much as you used to or haven't liked their later output, but who still have a locked spot in your top 5?

Janet Garcia?!?! Welcome to Crossfade! I was wondering if you're still playing the piano. If so, what's been your fave song or music style to learn? ***Jason, welcome to the Summer of Punk.

TL;DR - I love Foo Fighters, and what band is influential to your music growth? Short story warning: The band Nirvana and Foo Fighters were popular in my upbringing because of my older brother and his friends. So while I was aware of them I didn't connect and understand until I became older. My brother went to college and while I was still in HS I (re)discovered Foo Fighters with In Your Honor. I loved it so much. Then E.S.P.G. released, and it immediately grabbed my attention. The point is, because of this trajectory with my musical development my first live concert was the 2007 Foo Fighters tour which had a stop at the Target Center. I stay a life long fan. Anyways, thanks for the cast! -Geoff aka Groffles

I'd love t'hear your take on Bo Burnham's Inside, and how it holds up as a stand-alone soundtrack outside of the Netflix special.

Hey Janet and the Janettes!, How do you all usually listen to music? Car speakers, ear buds, over ear headphones, Bluetooth? Blueteeth?! One of my favorite parts of this show is that it introduces people to music that they don't typically get to hear... so here is a post-metal band complete with metal-ass-metal vocals from Courtney LaPlante (formerly of I Wrestled a Bear Once) Spiritbox- The Mara Effect Part 3 https://tidal.com/track/168954037 And if that song doesn't strike anyone's fancy, this band is an interesting blend of folk and punk with a very satisfying finger picked opening riff.

I've started to listen to Spotify's Dissect, which has 30 - 45 minute episodes PER SONG for albums like good kid, m.a.a.d. city and TPAB. That kind of depth is fun and interesting to me, but it's of course also totally possible love an album without any analysis like that, just because makes you feel good when listening. What are some albums on opposite ends of this spectrum, from good-as-art-to-be-analyzed to listening-just-makes-me-feel-good? Loose Change - The Alchemist ft. Earl Sweatshirt https://open.spotify.com/track/2Z5MbKovyels3EXitye0eo?si=3a3868dc8de94837

Pick a genre. From now on, you can only listen to songs from that genre that have been released in a rolling ten-year date range back from the current day (e.g., today, you could listen to songs released from June 15, 2011 - June 15, 2021, but tomorrow, you'll only be able to listen to songs released from June 16, 2011 to June 16, 2021). What genre do you pick? My song recommendation is "You Should Head North ( 北上のススメ Hokujou no Susume)" by Necry Talkie: https://open.spotify.com/track/0e9ph5JgSGnHKenrSWzga8?si=c9c4ff3cc6624b5f

Great question. What's your favorite thing you've learned/heard from Dissect so far?

What's the longest you've gone without knowing what a song after hearing it or getting it stuck in your head? I had a roommate from Congo in my dorm and one day he offhandedly just went "doo wah Diddy Diddy dumb Diddy doo" and I was impressed that he knew Manfred Mann. He actually had no idea who the band was and heard that one little snippet in a commercial when he was a kid but he never had any way to figure out what the song was. When I told him, it was like I lifted a curse that had followed him his whole life. For me, I was about 8 years old and playing video games while my dad was sleeping. l would play with no audio while he put on music to fall asleep to.. The CD was "Misfits" by the Kinks and I vividly remembered every song because it played on repeat for hours but I never got the name of the CD or the band. Only about five years later I asked my dad "you have a CD with a song that's like 'Black Messiah' or something" and he recalled that it was probably The Kinks. It's probably one of their more underrated hidden-gems. My song recommendation for this week is "When I Dream at Night" by Marc Anthony. The album this was one was in my mother's regular CD rotation as a child, but I just heard it again for the first time in probably fifteen years or so and the song holds up. https://open.spotify.com/track/1XYwlFvi9yPNruCanSJ3WP?si=1df111f3110b466a

In the one on Yeezus they are doing now there was a lot of interesting stuff about how the word Skinhead has Jamaican origins, which also puts a lot of the Jamaican vocals in an interesting light. Also, there really is a lot more of a story than I thought when I was first listening.
