Alright I got my notes, got my wallet stacked up, got all the songs lined up.
I think I have everything.
Are you ready?
Let's begin, shall we?
Hey everybody welcome back to Phantom Power Music Hour.
My name is Jim Costello, I am your host, so glad you guys could join us.
This is a value for value, value cast, right?
If you dig the music, if you dig it you gotta boost it, if you're loving it, send some
sats, if you find value in this podcast and you think I'm doing a good job.
I'm not gonna turn down sats man, daddy needs a new microphone, daddy needs a new pair
of headphones, right?
So last week we kicked off the show with a world debut, last week we debuted Abbey Muir
and Blueprint, how about we kick off this week's show with another debut in the value
verse, how about we get bluesy, how about we go over to the beautiful state of Oregon
and have Mr. T.J. Wong kick us off with so many years of debut on the Phantom Power Music
Hour episode 22 for Wednesday March 27, 2024.
You got your wallet stacked up, you gonna boost it, you gonna send some sats, I know you
will, that's the golden rule, if you dig it you gotta boost it, T.J.
Let's go.

It's getting real boring.
Let me tell you, because it doesn't bother you, I think I can't like it.
So tell me how you like it now, don't buy my folds and ride them down.

Let me tell you, because it doesn't bother you, I think I can't like it.
All right, three songs in, what do you think?
We started it off with T.J. Wong over there in Portland, was so many years and then we went
with another Portland artist, Amber Swini, who now lives in Nashville and I kind of kept
the genres the same, right, little bluesy, little rockabilly, rockabilly-ish and then we went
all the way over to the UK and the band two weeks in Nashville and they're song money makers,
so I kind of tied them all together, right, pretty neato.
Welcome to the fan of power, music hour, two weeks in Nashville, looking forward to more
releases from you guys, that's certainly a banger and I dig the sound and I dig what you guys
got going on, so thank you, really thrilled to have you guys on the show.
All right, it's value for value, you guys send in sats, right?
Let's bring back a track, one of my favorites that I've heard in the value verse from Mr.
Benny Jeans and I love the intro, it kind of reminds me of radio when I was a kid growing
up, you know, 32 degrees in Denver, 27 inches of snow but Catholic schools are still in session.
Here's Benny Jeans with "Why did you do this to me?"
Last in time again I can't find why I told you how to be free on the ride, oh, lie
is night, you told me to talk in so spoken to you I'm down my door.
Last month's our train, but please let God wait before.
This time I think we'll do a plan of sitting today, I was gonna go home, but never think
I think I'll see you tonight.
There's no going over so much, there's gotta be thinking, we'll do you better sleep
tonight.
I've snored my mind again, I let you cry, I told you, we hope something ain't not
that night, you wouldn't, you just went to the phone, down your tummy, everything you
might die.
You're laying your face in the feeling that I felt that night.
Just gotta think we'll do a plan of sitting today, I was gonna go home, but never think
I'll see you tonight.
There's no going over so much, there's gotta be thinking we'll do a plan of sitting
tonight.
Can I get away, can I still wait, with something I can say, God, I'm free, I'm free,

That is Charlie Crown with his song Brutal
featuring Kyle Reynolds.
I really like Charlie's stuff.
Charlie is a producer.
You can check him out over on Instagram.
It's Charlie Crown.
He is head of partnerships over at Bonfire.
He's got a really good social media presence on X
and Facebook and Substack.
And he's got a great current sound.
And you know what is also cool is like
when you start following these people
in the different socials and you see other people
that are following them that you know
that are outside of the Bitcoin space,
you know that Bitcoin and value for value
and all of these fabulous podcasts are starting
to circle in on everybody and pretty soon
it is all gonna blow up, right?
Prior to that, the lovely and talented Abby Muir
with her song Blueprint.
And as I've mentioned a couple times,
Abby's been up in Tokyo finishing up some tracks
looking forward to having her on the artist hour
coming up here within the next month or so
so we can get a better feel for all the fun stuff
that she is up to.
And then of course we started off that set
with Mr. Benny Jeans and why did you do this to me?
Which included my really bad impersonation
of radio in the 80s in Denver.
All right, everybody having fun?
Everybody sending sats?
Good, glad to hear it.
Let's keep the ball rolling.
We are gonna go with a guy out of Sweden
and the only way that I know he is out of Sweden
is that when I looked at his website,
his phone number is on there
and the country code for Sweden is 46.
I know that from the times that I toured over there.
This is Professor Yohan Bring.
And I'm not gonna pronounce this in Swedish
but thanks to Uncle Google,
I know that the translation for this song is
when there is the most smoke.
And I really dug this track.
So here it is, Professor Yohan Bring
on the Phantom Power Music Hour.

So that was kind of a trippy set,
right? We had Johann Bring
with his song in Swedish
that had something to do with smoke
and then we went over to Nebraska
with prosperous soul
and their song radiant,
prosperous soul has got some cool
ambient trippy stuff,
like St. Petersburg's dream
on their Wabelake account,
that's pretty cool, man.
And then we just heard peck slip
and their song egg,
which was number one over on Wabelake.
And then we just heard peck slip
number one over on Wabelake this past week.
And over on peck slips,
bio-page it just says
it was the 90s.
So I think we can safely assume
that that band is broken up,
but somebody within the band is still releasing music.
So good for them, good stuff,
love those guys.
Hey, shout out right now
to our good friend
in Switzerland,
laying down the beats,
absolute, absolute,
excellent.
Thank you, sir.
Thank you for the bumper music.
Hope you've been making some sats
of trying to tag as much as I can.
Also want to take a minute
to remind you guys
that there's a lot of other really good
value for value.
Music shows in this space.
Case in point.
If you love metal,
you've got to check out lightning thrashes
with Sir LeBray.
And hosted by Mike,
there is also mutton,
meat and music.
That's Oistines show.
Behind the schemes,
those guys are nuts, man.
Holy wacka doodles.
Is that a fun show?
That is lavish and boobery.
Homegrown hits, the lovely ladies of homegrown hits.
Daisy B. Cooper, Delorean Maricate Ultra.
That's a fantastic show.
Of course, the Dutch Duke of decentralized music.
You know,
that's Adam Curry.
That's the Booster Grand Ball.
What else we got?
Sidestream Music Podcast.
Coming to you out of Texas.
Up beats with Salty Crayon.
That's also coming out of Texas.
Jimmy V's got a show coming down out of Canada.
There's a lot of great,
a lot of great music shows in this space.
So please support all of them as much as you can.
And
if you guys know people who hold bitcoin
but don't know about these apps,
please for the love of God.
Let's get them over here.
We gotta grow this community.
Alright.
Let's keep the music going.
I was lucky enough to have a guest stop by the studio today.
And she is going to introduce the next song.
Hey, this is Arreas.
Thank you for listening to the Phantom Power Music Hour.
[Music]
I wanna taste your teeth.
I don't want the truth.
I wanna shine a whiskey at a bottle of oil.
I can't fake the backs of cats.
I can't swallow the bill.
That you know but for me,
but I want you still.
You make me feel young like a kiss in the rain.
You make me feel glum like I'm going insane.
You're going for the blood,
but you miss the vag.
Just five more minutes.
Five more minutes.
Baby, get us a thing, you're all alone.
Oh, I know you've got to move on.
Oh, I know you're the show one.
Oh, you won't be there anymore.
You can't help.
Oh, don't stop and you've got to go.
I choose a common instant I would go.
[Music]
I wanna wear the crown.
I wanna steal the throne.
Independent is a pretty way of staying alone.
I wanna take my shirt off but you won't move again.
Dancing with the devil is too much for life.
For one of your touch from my lucky jeans
I wanna feel the rush when you look at me.
I hope it's not too much for a baby please.
Just five more minutes.
Five more minutes.
And baby, get us a thing, you're all alone.
Oh, you've got to move on.
Oh, I know you've got to move on.
Oh, I know you've won't be there anymore.
Oh, you won't get it up.
Oh, don't stop and you've got to go.
I choose a common instant I would go.
[Music]
Five more minutes.
Where the you.
I've got to lie if you live So you've got to go home, i don't care
Always say that we want to know But then it's too much you're gonna run
again for my car And we should've killed it as I lie
yeah!
But you said five moment is an hour ago
yeah!
I need her, she's not there
I need her, she's not there I need her, she's sleeping
She plays me, the blames her, we're falling out of love
I need her, she's not there
She's got to go, she's got to go, i saw her
She's got to go, she's got to go, she's got to go
I need her, she's not there
Open, frozen in space, open, from here your place is open
I just come to race
As a fool along the street, my mind is on the ways of thoughts
What does it mean? Tender is a soul that speaks
I just can't seem to find it
Silver lies in the sky, warmness, be on my tongue
As a fool along the street, my mind is on the ways of thoughts
What does it mean? Tender is a soul that speaks
Oh, I wonder
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder
I'm maybe different, but I'm not a fool
You made your mistakes, but the same goes for you
But you like to fool with what is it to you? Make me look so foolish, chasing after you
Sometimes I wake up to phone calls from you
You're there, you're there, you're there, you're there, you're there, you're there, you're there
Another time for us to talk, but only up at you
She who runs the world, we shall all fall at your feet
This is not like you like it, do it how you want to
Keep me enslaved forever, making a mess good, that's how you like love, just a little cycle
I believe you made it never, honey, you're not your treasure
You're only missing when it suits you, you want all the tension in the room
But not a fool you can use how you like, there's no room for two in your lonely home
And the same not like you like it, do it how you want to
Keep me enslaved forever, making a mess good, that's how you like love, just a little cycle
I believe you made it never, honey, you're not your treasure
I believe you made it never, honey, you're there, you're there, you're there, you're there
That is she who runs the world by Mac, Jamie, prior to that, moments by Toia
And I'm so sorry if I just screwed up your name, dude
You can find him over on Wavelake, it is spelled T-A-U-Y-A
He is an alternative indie folk and pop artist from Zambia and moments is his first track on here
And I really dug that, I'm actually going to do it in the review show that's going to come out on Friday
So who knows, hopefully I'll figure out how to say his name right by then, no disrespects
Prior to that, there was pile high with I saw the end
And I really don't know anything about pile high, I got to find out more about those guys
And then of course kicking off that set, Arayas, here in Nashville with 5 more minutes
And Arayas, thank you so much for dropping by the studio today and saying hello
And asking questions about Noster and Wallets and all that kind of fun stuff
Great catching up with you, I'll tell you guys I was supposed to go see Arayas play live
This past weekend, but like somebody from another one of the bands got sick and the whole bill got canceled
It was like, damn it, that's a bummer, that's alright
I'll catch up with her, she's got a gig coming up in April that I'll check out here in town
So hey, let's keep it going here
We got three more songs and I want to do a song by 12 rods because I know they got that big value for value
Gig coming up, so right now we're going to hear private spies from 12 rods
And immediately after that you are going to hear a song that made me laugh out loud
It's just one of those funny sarcastic songs and it's about being a songwriter
And so immediately after 12 rods in private spies you're going to hear vapid vulps
With don't listen to this and those are the next two songs you will hear on the Phantom Power Music Hour
Here you go
You wanna know where does your boyfriend gonna be alone
All those calls you can't hear on the top of
I told you a secret
Will your promise not again be so bad
Of course I can't protect this place, the secret we live through, I can't believe it all ever again
And don't repeat the word of God, God please
All those calls you can't hear on the top of
I told you a secret
What is hiding and hiding? There everything I have left you
Is bringing us now without your trouble
What is the reason you move away?
What are now?
Where does your girl and your girlfriend go?
What are now that you left under power?
You don't be your best friend
So you don't gotta worry about knowing you
Just give me that sensation
You know we had a great战take
Hey, you don't gotta worry about knowing you
I said you don't wanna know
You don't gotta worry about knowing you
I said you don't wanna know
There everything I have left you
Is bringing us now without your trouble
What is the reason you move away?
What are now?
Where is my secret?
I said you don't wanna know
Where is my secret?
I told you a secret
What are now?
Where does your girl and your girlfriend go?
What is the reason you move away?
I said you don't wanna know
I wanna know
We never liked
I don't wanna know
There's a temptation
of this and the temptation
I said you don't wanna know
Where is my secret?
I told you a secret
What are now?
Where is my secret?
I said you don't wanna know
Where is my secret?
I said you don't wanna know
Where is my secret?
I said you don't wanna know
Where is my secret?
I said you don't wanna know
Where is my secret?
I said you don't wanna know
Where is my secret?
I said you don't wanna know
Where is my secret?
I said you don't wanna know
Where is my secret?
No one likes my music anyway
To be honest, I almost sick of it myself
I can't remember why I started in the first place
I said something
I don't know
Who's this for?
Like honestly, what do I have to say
that no one else has already said
better and the more feeling and gravity
or at least better production behind their shitty ears
I'm still under, there's seven of these things
Don't listen to this
I promise there's nothing worth hearing
Don't listen to this
I'm not supposed to go to anything else
I was supposed to help make a scene out of this shit
It's like we were all in it together trying to get people's careers off the ground
But I realized recently that apparently everyone else has got more important shit to do
So why the hell should I care
It's depressing
And also kind of liberating
If everyone's got better stuff to do, that's cool
But I'm not supposed to go to anything else
I'm not supposed to go to anything else
I heard you knew Alvin's God's gift to man the kind
I heard you knew Alvin got three new followers at TikTok
I heard you knew Alvin got a share at your friend's Facebook page
Last time I played something for someone, they literally told me to turn it down
Fuck
And I like to do this thing cheap knockoff because I just found some horrible dead tokens
It wasn't even an original, it was a cover of 600 grand
But frankly, it was the best goddamn things I'd ever produced
Shout out to Christy Brooke for singing it
I'm still proud of that to be honest, where was I?
Oh, yeah, don't listen to this
Don't listen to the whole music, it's much better than mine
Fuck it, anyway
Don't listen to this
I promised there's nothing worth hearing
Don't listen to this
I risked for feeding myself to create the elusive of this
Don't listen to this
Don't overdo think you're normal for doing it
Don't listen to this
I'm looking for something like anything else
Don't listen to this
I should have been a hurdle that should have better be this
But you have to listen to this as I do
You have all of the curious that anyone made it to the bar
Don't listen to this
I promised there'd never really be a bug
Don't listen to this
I just really just picked the fuck it sweet, much rare
Fuck
Don't listen to this
Is that three minutes?
Fuck, I should probably go to 330
I mean, that's like the pop radio stuff
Fuck
Try and make you a fucking drink, something at a bike
Make it sound like I'm a care
Fuck
Well, I don't know who you are Mr. Vape and Volpes
But I love listening to that track
I love your music
It's like, I don't know, Weird Al on acid
But completely original
I shouldn't compare you to Weird Al
Because all he does is steal from other people
But you, sir, are an original
And I absolutely love that track
It made me laugh out loud
There's a lot of bitter honesty in that
And if you ever come to Nashville, dude, look me up
Because I want to buy you a beer
And dive into that weird brain of yours
So that'll do it, folks
I got one more track for you
Somehow I like to finish it out
I always like to finish it out
With some jazz and we are going to finish it out
With the usual cats project in a song called
"Greed"
And I thank you all for listening to the Phantom Power
