Welcome to B-Side, the mini-series from Through the Creative Door. Join Alexis and Sam as they dive into the timeless world of vinyl. For Alexis, vinyl was more than music. It was a Sunday ritual she shared with her dad, listening, talking and soaking in the stories behind each album and the artwork on every sleeve. Though her dad is no longer with us, she continues this tradition with her friend, sam Timmerman. Join them as they share their passion for vinyl and the stories these records hold. 

00:44 - Alexis (Host)

Hello brother. 

 

00:46 - Sam (Host)

Hello, hello, it's good to see you. It's good to see you. I just found this that I've been looking for forever. 

 

00:52 - Alexis (Host)

What is it? 

 

00:53 - Sam (Host)

It's a guitar pick. I'm not very good at guitar, but I was gifted some guitar picks. 

 

00:58 - Alexis (Host)

I mean trusty little contraption that everyone should have in their toolbox. 

 

01:03 - Sam (Host)

Fender 75th. I just found it. 

 

01:12 - Alexis (Host)

I love it, so let's do episode 2. 

 

01:17 - Sam (Host)

Episode 2. 

 

01:18 - Alexis (Host)

Yeah of talking about vinyls. I love this for us. I'm going to start our timer. We've got 10 minutes. 

 

01:26 - Sam (Host)

Boom, no pressure. What have you got for us? 

 

01:29 - Alexis (Host)

No pressure, I have this bad boy Rolling Stones Tattoo you Ooh ooh. 

 

01:37 - Intro (None)

It is. 

 

01:38 - Alexis (Host)

Look at this Green, Green back red front Nick and Keith right. Yeah, yeah, this was an album cover that won the Grammy Award in 1982 for best album package. 

 

01:56 - Sam (Host)

The cover itself won. I did not know that, yeah. 

 

01:58 - Alexis (Host)

That's very cool. Yeah, because it's super fancy. No one quite knew that that was them on the cover. 

 

02:07 - Sam (Host)

Oh yeah, that was the thing. People didn't know who the person on the cover was. 

 

02:11 - Alexis (Host)

Yeah, exactly Exactly, which is sick. I love it. I love it yeah. 

 

02:16 - Sam (Host)

Did you say 72? It won the Grammy 1982? 82. I didn't even listen. Yeah, it's really cool. Yeah, my first ever Rolling Stones album I've listened to top to bottom. 

 

02:30 - Alexis (Host)

I'm sorry what I'm not judging, but I'm a little bit judging. It's all right. We just opened this world for you, Sam, it's fine. It's fine, all right. Well, popping the Rolling Stones, cherry, what was your top pick? 

 

02:48 - Sam (Host)

You'll love this. It was the one that sounded what I think sounded the least like classic Stones. I've heard plenty of their tracks before, but I had not listened to an entire album top to bottom, and all of a sudden, Heaven came out of nowhere and I just went. This is cool. I went into my ambient to an entire album, top to bottom, and all of a sudden heaven came out of nowhere and I just went. 

 

03:13

This is cool. I went, went into my ambient state and I loved it. Oh, ambient sound really cool, was not expecting it and just the the amount of the amount of soundscape in that track compared to the rest of the album was just out of left field and fantastic. It was really cool yeah do you know? What I've got a deep dive of bob clear mountain, which we'll talk about in a second because you've got a question. 

 

03:36 - Alexis (Host)

Well, what else was the like? What else was the cherry on top boy of Heaven as a top um? 

 

03:47 - Sam (Host)

Look, I have to look at it again because I've forgotten the very few lyrics that are in there, because I was listening to some other cool stuff as well. 

 

03:55 - Alexis (Host)

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

 

03:56 - Sam (Host)

But just the lyrics being so simple and

 

04:06 - Alexis (Host)

 but you're not normally a lyrics man. That's usually my job. I'm meant to be a lyrics girl. 

 

04:09 - Sam (Host)

All of the listening I did in this was all about lyrics for some reason. It's a little bit. The first line's a little bit creepy, but you know I don't think it's actually meant to be creepy. It is beautiful, but first line's interesting. After that it's very cool. Like senses be praised is kind of fun. The first line is what it's the smell of you, what, yeah, the smell of you, baby, my senses, my senses be praised, which on its own is either really beautiful or quite creepy. 

 

04:40

When you listen to the music it's poetic so, so embedded into the sound that you don't necessarily listen to the lyrics too much, so I had to look them up. It was very cool. No one will harm you. No one will stand in your way. 

 

04:57 - Alexis (Host)

Oh, that's a good line. 

 

04:58 - Sam (Host)

It's beautiful. 

 

04:59 - Alexis (Host)

That is a good line. 

 

05:01 - Sam (Host)

I did enjoy that. What was yours? 

 

05:04 - Alexis (Host)

Tops was my favourite track, but can I have an honourable mention? 

 

05:12 - Sam (Host)

You have done in the past, so we'll allow it okay, great. 

 

05:15 - Alexis (Host)

Um Slave is just like super close second for me why is it a close second? 

 

05:23 - Sam (Host)

because we're going to talk about tops in a minute. Why is Slave a close second? 

 

05:26 - Alexis (Host)

oh, I just it has. It's just got this vibe. That's just like such an anthem, oh yeah. 

 

05:34 - Sam (Host)

Are you talking about the lyrics? 

 

05:36 - Alexis (Host)

Yeah, well, the whole thing, both Tops and Slave. It's earworms, they just like get stuck in there. 

 

05:43 - Sam (Host)

See, Slave got me because it grooved so hard. It was really hard. 

 

05:47 - Alexis (Host)

Yes hard to groove. Yeah, I thought you'd. 

 

05:50 - Sam (Host)

I thought that would be your top pick actually well, like you said, I would have ignored the lyrics completely and gone. This sounds great exactly yeah, for those listening and watching. If you ever hear me talk about lyrics, it's rare, because these are is it? 

 

06:03 - Alexis (Host)

this is so rare? Music yes yeah, exactly, I'm the lyric girl. You're not so much, we're getting there. 

 

06:14 - Sam (Host)

There are some other albums for later in the season, that yeah. 

 

06:19 - Intro (None)

I love this. 

 

06:20 - Sam (Host)

Mm-hmm. but Tops, because I didn't. Honestly, I only listened through Tops once, so you'll have to describe to me more about what made that your top pick oh,

 

06:26 - Alexis (Host)

I really see this is gonna I'm not gonna, uh, explain it very well, but it's almost like, though, just the vibe, it, just from the minute that it comes in, from the minute it finishes, it has my full attention yeah yeah, full attention, and that's like lyrics and musically the arrangements. It's just yeah, fully has me and I'm like in it, love that that's fantastic yeah yeah, very cool. 

 

07:07 - Sam (Host)

Now I've gone a little bit of a deep dive deep dive, go, go go Heaven um, because, noticing that heaven as a track, specifically names bob clear mountain as the mixer and one of the engineers on the record. 

 

07:23

So I went that's a cool little thing to add in, and shame on me having never heard this guy's name before, because there's a quote from I think it's sound on Sound Magazine that says he has his name on more pop records. What is it? No, he has his name on more hit records than any other person in history and yeah

 

07:48

So I went okay, let. Okay, let's go Now. Wikipedia shout out make sure you donate to Wikipedia because they are still free. Please donate. I don't know if the tax deductible I hope it is, but either way, donate to Wikipedia, not sponsored. He is nominated, I believe, for 10 Grammys as a mixer engineer for live recordings. He's won three, and he's won two Emmys on six nominations for live mixes of concerts that are televised. Like this, dude was the live sound engineer in Live Aid the original Live Aid. 

 

08:29 - Alexis (Host)

Yeah, see, look, that's Oliver. 

 

08:32 - Sam (Host)

And then he won, nominated, won a Grammy in 2023. 

 

08:39 - Alexis (Host)

Wait, that's like somewhat recent. 

 

08:42 - Sam (Host)

His first nomination was 1995. And his last nomination he didn't win this one, I don't think. Hang on. No his last nomination was 2023. His first nomination was 1993, not 1995, for MTV Unplugged. 

 

09:04 - Alexis (Host)

Awesome. 

 

09:05 - Sam (Host)

That's in the Emmys, Grammys, first nomination, 92. Last nomination, again 2023. Corey Henry had him as his producer. 

 

09:16 - Alexis (Host)

Oh, not surprised, why wouldn't you? 

 

09:19 - Sam (Host)

So maybe I need to go and listen to that album again. Corey Henry, oh my god. 

 

09:26 - Alexis (Host)

Maybe that's for a future episode. 

 

09:29 - Sam (Host)

Live at the piano. Corey Henry, gotta get on it. 

 

09:32 - Alexis (Host)

All right, add it to the list,

 

09:34 - Sam (Host)

All you Australia, Snarky Puppy fans, get your tickets. Next year 10th anniversary, there’s another album. Let's go Albums everywhere. 

 

09:47 - Alexis (Host)

Add it to the list. 

 

09:50 - Sam (Host)

Yes, I've got another tangent. I got distracted, again. 

 

09:52 - Alexis (Host)

I love this. Do you know what? As a full album, though, I really liked the little dabbles of brass, like the bits of saxophone that got dubbed in. That's one of the reasons why Slave is like my second favourite. Yeah, we've got saxophones all over now Saxophone yeah, reasons why slave is like my second favourite. I just absolutely yeah, saxophone slave and in waiting on a friend. 

 

10:19 - Sam (Host)

Yeah, which I just listened to again about 20 minutes ago yeah, gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous song um just makes me want to learn brass. 

 

10:30 - Alexis (Host)

I don't need to add any more instruments to the repertoire. 

 

10:35 - Sam (Host)

You can learn whatever you want. 

 

10:37 - Alexis (Host)

Don't tempt me. Don't tempt me. 

 

10:40 - Sam (Host)

I will tempt you all you want. For those of you who know me as a musician, yeah, you dabble in all of the things, find something shiny and go and try it. That's how it works. 

 

10:50 - Alexis (Host)

I just pulled a pic out of nowhere upside down. Oh it's glorious. 

 

11:01 - Sam (Host)

But I love it. Welcome to the visual world of podcasts I love this.

11:14 - Alexis (Host)

I think it sums up our friendship quite well. 

 

11:18 - Sam (Host)

Yeah, I agree, but I don't know. Oh, show and tell right. 

 

11:21 - Alexis (Host)

Show and tell. You're like where's she going with this?
