(Music Cut #2 – of “Long, long, long, long time ago” from “Sir Psycho Sexy”)
To make the album…
producer Rick Rubin moved the Chili Peppers…
into a massive mansion in LA…
where they could live…
write…
and record together.
Well…
MOST of them lived there.
(Music Cut #3 – intro to “Suck My Kiss”)
Chad Smith wanted absolutely no part it.
He believed the mansion was haunted…
so while Anthony Kiedis, Flea and John Frusciante stayed there…
Chad left every night…
and went home.
(Music Cut #4 – more “Suck My Kiss” with the hook and then drums)

Welcome to Movies That Matter, where we look at three movies worth knowing about before the weekend begins.
Brad Pitt stranded in Alaska with only his dog, DreamWorks sending us somewhere – I forget, you’ll see why, and Avengers: Endgame – one more time – it’s the encore!
(Countdown Video)
What’s new? Brad Pitt is heading into the Alaskan wilderness for Heart of the Beast.
(Heart of the Beast “The Hard Way” clip)
Pitt plays a former Special Forces soldier who survives a plane crash and finds himself stranded with only his combat dog by his side.
So basically – freezing temperatures and no help, but one very important “good boy.”
(Heart of the Beast – dog jumping into water clip)
Alright… after all of that survival, I really need something to help me forget about it all.
(Forgotten Island clip – “Welcome to Forgotten Island”)
Yeah – I went there with the bad joke. Forgotten Island
It drops us onto a mysterious island filled with creatures, surprises and – judging by the title – a place everybody forgets about on the map.
(Forgotten Island “the longer you’re here” clip)
And finally… Avengers, assemble.
(Avengers: Endgame “Avengers, assemble” clip)
Avengers: Endgame is back for an encore
Now, seven years later, you get another chance to see it the way it was meant to be seen – on the big screen.
(Avengers: Endgame “Second chance” clip)
Saving the universe once just wasn’t enough.
That’s this weekend’s Movies That Matter. From surviving Alaska to getting lost on a forgotten island to assembling the Avengers one more time, there should be something waiting for you at the movies.
Until next time – keep on popping the corn.

Marilyn Manson created one of the defining songs of his career.
But that title…
“The Beautiful People”…
actually came from somewhere you probably wouldn’t expect.
(Music Cut #3)
A book.
Marylin Bender’s 1967 book The Beautiful People…
about the world of celebrities…
fashion…
and high society.
Nearly 30 years later…
Marilyn Manson borrowed the title…
and made “The Beautiful People” sound a whole lot less beautiful.
(Music Cut #4)

Welcome to Music That Matters with 3, 2, 1 New Music Monday.
This week: Miley persuades with bass, Beck gets lonesome, and beabadoobee turns the distortion pedal on.
Plus, new songs from Travis Scott and Matt Berninger, but not together, and Phil Collins gives Face Value the full treatment on vinyl.
(Countdown Video)
3 major album drops.
First up Miley Cyrus with Bass Persuades
(“Bass Persuades” clip)
This is her 10th studio album, but it’s also the first one released simply under the name Miley.
No Cyrus.
Just Miley.
And across 10 tracks, we get dance-pop, love songs, and a whole lot of bass doing exactly what the title promised.
(“Let’s Get Married” clip)
Next, Beck is here again with Ride Lonesome
(“Ride Lonesome” clip)
If you prefer Beck in his Sea Change or Morning Phase mode, this one is for you.
He even reunited with musicians from those records for a quieter, more atmospheric return.
(“Run Away” clip)
And finally – this one is just fun to say – beabadoobee with Pylon
This is her fourth album, and she’s leaning much harder into grunge and ’90s alt-rock.
(“Write Me A Letter” clip)
2 new singles.
And with the first one – Travis Scott is giving us an early taste of the Grand Theft Auto VI soundtrack with “RHYNO”
(“RHYNO” clip)
And producing the song is Guy-Manuel of Daft Punk.
So, that’s Travis Scott, GTA VI, AND half of Daft Punk?
That’s a whole lot of cool packed into one song.
Now this next… technically isn’t just a single.
(clip)
Matt Berninger of The National dropped a five-song EP called Type It Up — basically, more than a single but not quite enough music to call it a full album.
(Record Scratch video)
And finally, 1 vinyl pick.
Phil Collins is giving his solo debut Face Value the full value for its 45th anniversary.
The new box expands the album to four LPs with demos, live recordings, outtakes and previously unreleased material.
(“In The Air Tonight” clip)
Yes – that means even more ways to play along to that drum solo
That’s your 3 albums, 2 singles, and 1 vinyl for the week.
This has been 3, 2, 1 New Music Monday
Until next time.
