Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Ella here, and after two year break, we
Speaker 1: are about to start covering all the new gravity Falls
Speaker 1: stuff that has come out, starting with coverage of the
Speaker 1: Gravity Falls vinyl soundtrack, and fittingly enough, today we're also
Speaker 1: dropping a soundtrack for this very podcast. It's called Mystery
Speaker 1: Shacks Soundtrack, and it features just about every song and
Speaker 1: song cover we featured on the show. Here you can
Speaker 1: download it for as little as free, and it's at
Speaker 1: ellachzrii dot bancamp dot com. Link in the description that's
Speaker 1: e L l A C E s a ri i
Speaker 1: dot bandcamp dot com. And if you stick around after
Speaker 1: the credits and plugs toward the end of this episode,
Speaker 1: you'll hear a brand new song cover from yours truly
Speaker 1: and new Patreon shout outs done by none other than
Speaker 1: Matt Chapman, the voice of Mermando on Gravity Falls, as
Speaker 1: well as a bunch of other gravity Falls characters, writer
Speaker 1: on Gravity Falls, and the co creator of Home Star Runner. So,
Speaker 1: without further Ado, let's get into it. Take me back
Speaker 1: to the place sign know with the Mystery Shack and
Speaker 1: the forest gnomes. I'm already back, so come on, let's go.
Speaker 1: Don't get me started my heart's in Gravity Falls.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Mystery Shack, look Back, a nostalgic time capsule
Speaker 2: and no spoiler record. Club of the original Gravity Falls Fandom.
Speaker 2: We are your curators.
Speaker 1: I'm Spanky, I'm the Sprits.
Speaker 3: And I'm your littlest brother thirty under thirty Media. I
Speaker 3: Lluminary Martin.
Speaker 2: Is that we haven't done one of these in a while.
Speaker 1: I feel like we I think I think we messed
Speaker 1: that up a little bit.
Speaker 3: I think that's correct.
Speaker 1: You sure, Shelby, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know, Ella, do you think that's right?
Speaker 2: And I'm Charlie. I missed you, guys, we missed you too.
Speaker 1: By My aim is getting.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. No. I constantly think, boy, I don't
Speaker 2: miss producing a weekly podcast, but I miss recording a
Speaker 2: weekly podcast with my best friends.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, you can pretend that we've been doing this
Speaker 1: every week before this.
Speaker 2: Guys missed a lot of episodes.
Speaker 1: Man, last week's was crazy.
Speaker 2: Last week's was nuts. We had god on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. We had actually every god from every
Speaker 1: religion on the podcast.
Speaker 2: Big Big Get, Big Get. So when we finished this
Speaker 2: podcast two years ago, the gravity Falls Fandom was done.
Speaker 2: They stopped doing that. Yeah, and it has been back
Speaker 2: in a big way lately. I think someone who can
Speaker 2: remember who said this might be the most popular it's
Speaker 2: ever been on Twitter or x.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if that's is that is
Speaker 1: that true?
Speaker 2: It might be because think about it this way, there
Speaker 2: were people who were eight and didn't have social media
Speaker 2: when they became a fan of the show, who are
Speaker 2: twenty now.
Speaker 3: Wild, absolutely insane.
Speaker 1: No, see that doesn't know, that's not I don't believe that.
Speaker 2: Well, okay, you can bring it up with the person
Speaker 2: who posted that.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know what. You know what I'd like
Speaker 1: to I'd like to see them face to face, really
Speaker 1: really give a piece of why I and in.
Speaker 2: This corner that GF fan from YouTube and Twitter.
Speaker 1: Oh oh now, come on, come on now, come on now,
Speaker 1: Oh come on, you don't want to fight me. Oh
Speaker 1: come on now, I was just joking out around. Come on.
Speaker 4: Apology accepted.
Speaker 2: So you only first watched Gravity Falls in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 2: that's correct, Yeah.
Speaker 4: Pretty much. I guess like the best way to describe
Speaker 4: my entire journey with Grardy Falls was I heard about
Speaker 4: the show originally in twenty twelve, saw the shorts in
Speaker 4: twenty fourteen and then found the show in twenty seventeen
Speaker 4: while going through a bit of our rough patch, so
Speaker 4: now here I am.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, So the shorts were the first thing that
Speaker 1: you saw?
Speaker 2: Yeah, was there anything particularly that drew you to this
Speaker 2: show specifically? I don't need to talk about the rough patch,
Speaker 2: but like, what was like, I'll finally check out this
Speaker 2: thing I've seen shorts of.
Speaker 4: Well, basically what happened was I saw a video by
Speaker 4: Sabersparkan in the that YouTuber. He made a video called
Speaker 4: Cartoons and Conclusions what Gararity Falls did right, and you
Speaker 4: basically just explained like how the Grady Falls finale is
Speaker 4: a good example of how.
Speaker 2: So so you got the whole thing spoiled for you
Speaker 2: up front, So if only you had some kind of
Speaker 2: no spoiler book club.
Speaker 1: But I think that it speaks to the appeal. You
Speaker 1: knew that you were getting into something that had a
Speaker 1: trajectory and you weren't gonna just sort of wind up
Speaker 1: high and dry at the end.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like that's pretty much what happened. Like I saw
Speaker 4: I saw that video and I was intrigued by what
Speaker 4: he's talked about. Like so positively for Graty Falls, and
Speaker 4: I was like, this is a show I remember being
Speaker 4: like advertised a lot on like Disney XD and stuff.
Speaker 4: So I was like, let me give it a watch.
Speaker 4: And well, yeah, it only took like nine or so
Speaker 4: episodes and I completely fell in love.
Speaker 2: With the show.
Speaker 1: But since then, yeah, since you've discovered the show, you
Speaker 1: got sort of a Gravity Falls fan base empire. You
Speaker 1: vote for yourself as that GF fan. Can we talk?
Speaker 1: Can we can? I ask about the name? I mean,
Speaker 1: why not? Why not this GF fan or the GF fan.
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, it's very humble of you to be. Oh,
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm simply that GF fan.
Speaker 4: The funny thing is, I actually don't remember what the
Speaker 4: actual origin of the name is. Like, I just remember
Speaker 4: I was on Grady Falls and you know at the time,
Speaker 4: and my name on there was just HK. Grawdy Falls Fan.
Speaker 4: Because I have absolutely no creativity in my in myself
Speaker 4: all the funny stories, speaking of the dad GFN name,
Speaker 4: I wasn't the first one that came up with it.
Speaker 4: Basically what happened was when I was making my Tumbler
Speaker 4: account in twenty nineteen, I found out that someone had
Speaker 4: already used the dad gfn username on there, and when
Speaker 4: I clicked on the main account for like the original person,
Speaker 4: like their main account, it was a once slar fan page.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, oh my gosh, amazing. Hell yeah, that feels right.
Speaker 2: Biggering and biggering, baby.
Speaker 1: You have to fight to the death to take the mantle.
Speaker 4: I tried to see if they were active to see
Speaker 4: if I can get the username, but they've been in
Speaker 4: active since like twenty thirteen, So.
Speaker 2: So you just have to take over their mantle and
Speaker 2: do some Ononcesler content if you can.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say, how much Wensler content have
Speaker 3: you posted?
Speaker 4: Exactly zero?
Speaker 2: So if you do it only once, that makes you
Speaker 2: sort of a once.
Speaker 1: So yeah, since then, I mean, you've got certainly one
Speaker 1: of the most like extensive libraries of gravity Falls videos
Speaker 1: out on your YouTube, covering a lot of you know,
Speaker 1: niche stuff that people like us and people like the
Speaker 1: people who listen to this podcast would appreciate.
Speaker 2: When we did the Cipher Hunt podcast, I was like, ooh,
Speaker 2: I need help getting the word out about this one,
Speaker 2: because the gravity Falls fandom is going to be interested.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, while we were editing it before it was finished.
Speaker 2: I sent the Bradley clip to HK that's what we're
Speaker 2: gonna call you for short over here and said like, hey,
Speaker 2: can you make a video version of this but not
Speaker 2: post it until the podcast goes out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was really have to do.
Speaker 2: We are cited all over the gravity Falls wiki for
Speaker 2: that Bradley stuff.
Speaker 4: Now, baby, you can thank me for that. I added
Speaker 4: that on the wikenday citations.
Speaker 2: I love the part of the video where there's the
Speaker 2: picture of Alex looking sleepy at his phone when we're like,
Speaker 2: you have to meet me up the twind find the Wall.
Speaker 1: You recently famous did a whole interview with Alex Hirsch
Speaker 1: as well with one Hannah hyperfixation.
Speaker 2: We may meet soon, we may not. Who's to say.
Speaker 1: It might be a secret great video. We'll be sure
Speaker 1: to link that as well.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I want to get out right out of
Speaker 2: the gate. We're not talking about Book of Bill today.
Speaker 2: That's next episode because we never covered the gravity Falls
Speaker 2: soundtrack release because it came out after we finished Mystery
Speaker 2: Shack look Back. It is the first bit of gravity
Speaker 2: Falls lore released after our podcast initially wrapped.
Speaker 1: Well, law is generous, but yeah.
Speaker 2: There's some stuff here and there. There's some secrets.
Speaker 1: That's true. That's true.
Speaker 2: As we were researching it, you just kept coming up
Speaker 2: as a valuable resource in our research, and we thought, Hey,
Speaker 2: if we bring this guy on, we get to be lazier.
Speaker 4: Yeah, make me do all the heavy lifting.
Speaker 2: You already did it though, you've already researched that out
Speaker 2: of this.
Speaker 1: So yeah, well you've already done the heavy lifting. We're
Speaker 1: just asking you to recount the time you lift a
Speaker 1: heavy thing. You're like, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: This couch all Off did once. Let me tell you,
Speaker 2: yeah for sure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have to help.
Speaker 2: So what what show me? What is the Gravity Falls
Speaker 2: Vinyl Soundtrack?
Speaker 3: Well, I would say the Gravity Falls Vinyl Soundtrack is
Speaker 3: a vinyl soundtrack album for Gravity Falls, produced by I
Speaker 3: AM eight Bit Records and the Walt Disney Records. Brad
Speaker 3: Breek himself is the one that hinted at its production
Speaker 3: in summer of twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: So you just alerted us to this a couple of
Speaker 2: minutes ago. HK. He had a how I made the
Speaker 2: gravity Falls theme song video, which has since deleted.
Speaker 4: It's still there if you know where to look, and he.
Speaker 2: Left comments saying there will be a Gravity falls ost
Speaker 2: on vinyl soon. I'm not sure if they're releasing it
Speaker 2: on iTunes that he said, I think only vinyl and
Speaker 2: maybe digital. And I am amazed he was allowed to
Speaker 2: say all these things.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I know right. And I gotta give a
Speaker 4: huge things as well for that to the folks on
Speaker 4: Maya disc or server, the datchaf and discord server. They
Speaker 4: were the ones who originally let me know about this
Speaker 4: because we were all talking about that video on my
Speaker 4: server and one of them, I think it was my
Speaker 4: friend Emma, Like, she messaged me andw She was like, Hey,
Speaker 4: check out what Brad Brieed talked about in the comments
Speaker 4: on the video, and that was where we all started
Speaker 4: discussing it and stuff.
Speaker 2: The soundtrack was officially announced on Twitter by Alex Hirsch
Speaker 2: on November twenty seventh, twenty twenty. When were these comments
Speaker 2: on this video from that you can parse together?
Speaker 4: I checked my discourse server before we started this and
Speaker 4: I checked then the messages were from like the comments
Speaker 4: that related to the screenshots were September twenty twenty, so
Speaker 4: it was a couple of I think like days or
Speaker 4: weeks after the original video came out, because if I
Speaker 4: remember correctly, the video came out in August twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting, I know that I could tell this. Probably
Speaker 1: no actual intention of referring to that here, but it
Speaker 1: is funny that that information got sort of leaked out,
Speaker 1: and then Alex tweets in November twenty twenty starts the
Speaker 1: tweet with don't tell anyone. Gravity Falls is teemed with
Speaker 1: I have eight bit and Gravity Falls composer Brad Brigg
Speaker 1: to create a mysterious I'm wiggling my fingers to indicate
Speaker 1: the sparkle emojis. Well, I felt it mysterious vinyl record
Speaker 1: with memories and secrets from the Falls pre order. Now,
Speaker 1: if you.
Speaker 2: Dare now wave a bush to kind of create the
Speaker 2: pine tree emoji.
Speaker 1: Muscle sun effects, and then the link would send you
Speaker 1: to the pre order page with an image that looked
Speaker 1: a lot like the thumbnails that we would make for
Speaker 1: this very podcast, where they would they were teasing the
Speaker 1: fact that they would have actual cover art soon.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just a screenshot of them using the
Speaker 2: vinyl record in.
Speaker 1: A screenshot of them putting the needle on the CD
Speaker 1: when they're both on a different standard. Both staring at
Speaker 1: it like dumbfound it.
Speaker 2: I love that, but it never gets old.
Speaker 3: It's such a good bit.
Speaker 2: That's such a Matt moment, Matt Chatman, that is. But yeah,
Speaker 2: Brad Breek is the boser of Gravity Falls who put
Speaker 2: this all together. It's a very fascinating arrangement of soundtrack songs. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Brad Brieck, let's just say before we get into the
Speaker 2: soundtrack proper is amazing.
Speaker 3: Absolutely incredible composer.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think we should talk generally about the music
Speaker 1: of the show since we've talked about it in spurts
Speaker 1: when it's come up in the individual episodes, but I
Speaker 1: feel like we've never really been able to give it
Speaker 1: its proper due to really just say, talk about that
Speaker 1: element of the show. And I think this is obviously
Speaker 1: the perfect opportunity to do so.
Speaker 3: I mean, like I personally feel like music is something
Speaker 3: that can really shift the tone and the emotion of
Speaker 3: a scene absolutely, and he nails it every time.
Speaker 1: I mean, especially in animation, because before we could record
Speaker 1: our voices and sing it to a cartoon, all we
Speaker 1: had was music. That was the driving audio of all
Speaker 1: animation for the first few years decades of its inception.
Speaker 2: He does a secret commentary on Not what He Seems
Speaker 2: on the DVD Slash Blu Ray, and in that he says.
Speaker 6: I'm a terrible guitarist, by the way, but I'm also
Speaker 6: a terrible pianist. I'm a terrible musician in general. But
Speaker 6: I feel like maybe the reason I get hired to
Speaker 6: do this kind of stuff is I don't know, maybe
Speaker 6: I have okay ideas.
Speaker 2: I don't know about not being good at guitar. There's
Speaker 2: some pretty licks, like when Barmando comes up and everything
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 3: He also mentions that he's good at composition, at like
Speaker 3: the electronic composition of the pieces, which I think is
Speaker 3: incredibly accurate.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, the computer, I guess is my instrument.
Speaker 6: I'm able to put things together in the computer and
Speaker 6: make up so.
Speaker 3: Quick because both in this show and in his later
Speaker 3: work like in The Owl House We Bear Bears, he
Speaker 3: uses a lot of composition of songs electronically to create
Speaker 3: those like incredible unique moods.
Speaker 2: Personally, when I picture gravity, if someone says this sounds
Speaker 2: like gravity falls music, what I'm imagining is mostly synthesized
Speaker 2: with a real acoustic guitar.
Speaker 3: Right, I'll say that, like on the piano and guitar front,
Speaker 3: they are simplistic plays of them. So he finds ways
Speaker 3: to play to his strengths on the guitar and the piano,
Speaker 3: so like, you don't have to be super duper skilled
Speaker 3: to still give us an incredible performance, and he does
Speaker 3: what he does best.
Speaker 1: I think the visual form as well, Like, it's not
Speaker 1: always demanding complex orchestration. Obviously, when that he's asked for
Speaker 1: by the story, he delivers that, but more often than not,
Speaker 1: especially with Gravity Falls, it's fairly light stuff, right, you know.
Speaker 1: I can see how when you're so close to your
Speaker 1: own work, you know, you get in your own head
Speaker 1: about it. I certainly understand the mindset, but from an
Speaker 1: outsider's perspective, it's that guy's cake is better than mine.
Speaker 1: Holy two cakes.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: When we did the Gravity Falls Lost Legends comic dub
Speaker 2: Brad had put all of the Gravity Falls soundtrack on
Speaker 2: his SoundCloud, so we use existing Gravity Falls tracks. I
Speaker 2: would finish editing the comic dub for the day, I'd
Speaker 2: be like, I'm taking a break and I would send
Speaker 2: Ello what I had edited and be like, see if
Speaker 2: you can find a track that fits this. So that
Speaker 2: was kind of a very collaborative aspect of that video,
Speaker 2: and it definitely got me to understand how gravity falls
Speaker 2: music works better than I did, because there's a lot
Speaker 2: of really tiny, like incidental music things, right. Yeah, bring
Speaker 2: to mind the very animation driven music of like Looney Tunes. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because like if someone smiles, you might just hear a
Speaker 2: happy little chord play real quick.
Speaker 3: Which I know he said that those little tiny bits
Speaker 3: are the hardest thing to compose.
Speaker 6: I feel like almost the shorter of the cue, the
Speaker 6: harder it can be sometimes just because it's easy to
Speaker 6: make a short cue just sound cheesy and weak. I
Speaker 6: don't know why, but I feel like, for me at least,
Speaker 6: it's easier to make something sounds big and epic and
Speaker 6: intense than to do something that sounds fun but still
Speaker 6: cool in some way.
Speaker 1: You know. I think something that something like The Fairly
Speaker 1: Odd Parents does this incessantly to the point where you
Speaker 1: can't not notice.
Speaker 2: Do you know how Fairly Odd Parents music gets composed?
Speaker 2: Apparently but Elmer hart Apparently Elmer Butch Hartman sends himself
Speaker 2: humming all of the music. You would sing to me
Speaker 2: what you were hearing, I would sing, I know, and typically.
Speaker 8: What you learn in film school and what you just
Speaker 8: kind of gained by osmosis living in the music community
Speaker 8: is you take your notepad with you and you start
Speaker 8: writing what the producer would.
Speaker 2: Like to see.
Speaker 8: And I start, I, you know, started writing, and then
Speaker 8: I found there was some things I couldn't write because
Speaker 8: you would just keep singing and wah wa wah whah.
Speaker 8: So I would actually write wah wah. And then eventually
Speaker 8: on episode five and six, I started actually writing the
Speaker 8: notes that you were singing, like transcribing.
Speaker 2: Well really, I would go like.
Speaker 3: That is how mel Brooks me made the producers the
Speaker 3: music claw.
Speaker 2: Well Brooks became a composer. But well Brooks did not
Speaker 2: write scores that way because that would be insane.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, you know that is that is pretty insane.
Speaker 2: And that's why it sounds like that, because it's a
Speaker 2: guy supposing what music might sound.
Speaker 3: Right. Oh boy, Elmer, Elmer, Elmer.
Speaker 1: Real time fand of musician.
Speaker 2: If he didn't suck, I would ask him to do
Speaker 2: music for this episode.
Speaker 1: Back in our episode, on the episode The Love God
Speaker 1: with Mike Randa, we got the tidbit that Mike was
Speaker 1: the one who suggested Brad Brick. You uh brought Brad
Speaker 1: Brick onto Gravity Folds.
Speaker 9: It seems yeah, I I you know, that was sort
Speaker 9: of like one of the many things that I would do,
Speaker 9: is like and I realized, like when I was working
Speaker 9: on a movie, how much you need this person just
Speaker 9: like a little psycho too, because like we we had
Speaker 9: a really hard time figuring out the theme song, and
Speaker 9: there were so many theme songs that were like friendly
Speaker 9: Kids in a crazy Town, you know, like that had
Speaker 9: horrific lyrics. And one of the people who turned in
Speaker 9: music was Brad Breek, and I was like, oh, I
Speaker 9: love this guy who's in this band the may.
Speaker 2: She that I really love.
Speaker 9: And one of the theme songs he turned in ended up
Speaker 9: being this like Mabel Fantasy theme that we used a
Speaker 9: bunch of times throughout the course of the show.
Speaker 2: As when you're talking about I think.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, it's like blow blow, It's like it's like
Speaker 9: I'm not exactly out.
Speaker 2: Wow, why did you even meet Brad Freaking I thought
Speaker 2: the whole soundtrack yourself.
Speaker 9: And then on his website we found the song that
Speaker 9: sounded like pretty wonderful, and I was like, man, this
Speaker 9: could just be the theme song. It was like, it
Speaker 9: was very obvious that he.
Speaker 1: Was the guy.
Speaker 2: That name caught him because he recognized him from his
Speaker 2: experimental punk band, The may She. Rihanna actually loves The
Speaker 2: may She so much that that is the trailer music
Speaker 2: for Mitchell's versus The Machines.
Speaker 3: Let me introduce myself.
Speaker 5: I'm Katie.
Speaker 3: I'm sort of weird.
Speaker 2: Noow, my parents haven't figured me out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, to be fair, it took me a while to
Speaker 3: figure myself out. My brother also weird.
Speaker 2: Hi, would you like to talk to me about dinosaurs?
Speaker 1: No? Okay, thank you, and.
Speaker 3: My mom please, all of us really.
Speaker 9: How don't we put our phones down and we can
Speaker 9: make ten seconds of unobstructed family hot contact starting now.
Speaker 2: That's Lamb and the Lion from their third album. I
Speaker 2: listen to all three other albums. They're weird. But someone
Speaker 2: here has a music degree, so I said, Shelby, I
Speaker 2: need your help.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah. Charlie was like describing and playing little bits
Speaker 3: of I think terror Bird first for me, and I
Speaker 3: was like, oh yeah, no, this is this is some
Speaker 3: music kid nonsense, Like this is music school nonsense. It's
Speaker 3: it's interesting because like to me, The may She does
Speaker 3: sound like if sex ma Bomb from Scott Pilgrim met
Speaker 3: in music school instead of in high school.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great exploration.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the first album is very sound oriented, Like there
Speaker 3: are a lot of very short clips, Like the very
Speaker 3: first song on the album is literally twenty five seconds
Speaker 3: of just what sounds like a heartbeat, like a loud heartbeat.
Speaker 2: The way I hear it because that's the track titled
Speaker 2: Terror Bird, So I see that as a drum trying
Speaker 2: to create the sound of a bird flapping its wings.
Speaker 3: The sound to me sounds like the sound machines that
Speaker 3: people would build that we learn about in music school
Speaker 3: to emulate like the sounds of the city. So it's
Speaker 3: just something that people would pump or like turn and
Speaker 3: it would sound like New York City sounds.
Speaker 2: Their first album, Terror Bird, is too experimental for me
Speaker 2: with the there's one track there that I really got into.
Speaker 2: There's a song that has the chorus we learned by repetition.
Speaker 2: At one point they start like belting a little bit,
Speaker 2: like doing a little riff on it, like wait, learn,
Speaker 2: but then cut back to the earlier footage of them
Speaker 2: saying repetition, wil bye.
Speaker 3: Bye bye. There's a couple of songs that are are
Speaker 3: pretty good on that. It's just it is almost forty
Speaker 3: songs in the album, which is a lot, but they're
Speaker 3: like a lot of them are very short, and they're
Speaker 3: very music school. E. They are very music school ye.
Speaker 3: And I will say, like it feels like an experimentation
Speaker 3: in sound, not necessarily an experimentation in music, because there's
Speaker 3: a lot of times where they'll be singing and it
Speaker 3: goes into yelling with song behind it, and then they
Speaker 3: take the song away and it's just yelling. So it's
Speaker 3: like it's a really interesting experimentation.
Speaker 1: I listened to the third album and I think, Yeah,
Speaker 1: my takeaway is that, like, oh, this is great. I
Speaker 1: don't know if I want to listen to it, but
Speaker 1: it's good music.
Speaker 3: The third album, Yeah, the third album is really good.
Speaker 2: Third album is music which is a new step for
Speaker 2: the Well.
Speaker 3: I'll say the third album sounds more mainstream, but they
Speaker 3: also have more members by that point. Yeah, the third
Speaker 3: album is really fun, but it is much more mainstream.
Speaker 3: It's less experimental.
Speaker 1: They keep that vibe. I would say, I don't think
Speaker 1: they lose it at all.
Speaker 2: I not completely.
Speaker 3: No, No, they don't lose the experimental vibe of it.
Speaker 3: It's still I actually enjoyed all three of them, but
Speaker 3: the first one. If you have auditory processing issues, the
Speaker 3: first album is a very difficult listen.
Speaker 2: So yeah, they he met the other the first two
Speaker 2: members of the Mayshi when he was studying at the
Speaker 2: California Institute of the Arts.
Speaker 1: We must have brought up that school a one hundred
Speaker 1: and thirteen times. I see what you did there, clever.
Speaker 2: And so you said, you definitely could see how the Mayshi.
Speaker 2: An experience on that led to how the music and
Speaker 2: Gravity Falls works.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because listening, especially listening back through the Falls album
Speaker 3: and listening to his later works, specifically in Owl House,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of experimentation that he's not afraid to
Speaker 3: play with and getting the sounds for the music. Like
Speaker 3: we'll get into it a little bit later, but he
Speaker 3: does use a fair amount of like backwards music, turning
Speaker 3: the sound backwards to create new and interesting sounds. So
Speaker 3: I think that working on something where the majority of
Speaker 3: it is experimenting with the sound and the way sound
Speaker 3: works is something that did suit him well in creating
Speaker 3: new forms of sound for this show.
Speaker 1: And again it fits the form of the storytelling because
Speaker 1: I think a background and experimental music. He's so helpful
Speaker 1: for shows like this, Gravity Falls and The Owl House
Speaker 1: about weirdness and about being an outcast and about paranormal
Speaker 1: which is demon's all that, all that sort of stuff.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, But even then you have the more kind
Speaker 1: of down to earth shows like We Bear Bears, which
Speaker 1: he brings this like poppy, you know, synth driven kind
Speaker 1: of sensibility toward that also works really well.
Speaker 4: One thing I also want to add about, like the
Speaker 4: music with Gravity Falls, is like there's this very nostalgic
Speaker 4: feeling to it as well in some like aspects of
Speaker 4: his life. One good example for me, like one that
Speaker 4: I really love is like at the start of Carpet
Speaker 4: Dim when we see different Mabel playing you know, addic
Speaker 4: stuff minigolf and the music that's playing in the background,
Speaker 4: it invokes a lot of like nostalgic like childhood memories
Speaker 4: and stuff that I think it's because of what Alex
Speaker 4: Hirst said in his like farewell tumblr post about Grati
Speaker 4: Falls when it was ending about how like the fact
Speaker 4: that childhood ends is what makes us so special a
Speaker 4: new character while a last That's always been one of
Speaker 4: my factors of like why I love Gardy Falls so
Speaker 4: much is because of that nostalgic and childhood memory type
Speaker 4: aspect to it, and the music captures that so well.
Speaker 1: I would wager that that so. In the Not What
Speaker 1: He Seems commentary, Rick talked about I.
Speaker 6: Feel like Alex really had a rare, you know, quote
Speaker 6: unquote kids show where the emotions of the characters were
Speaker 6: really taken seriously. And I feel like most of the
Speaker 6: notes that I was given from Alex throughout the series
Speaker 6: were with that in mind. I feel like he rarely
Speaker 6: gave me notes based on like, oh it doesn't sound
Speaker 6: e bic enough, it doesn't sound cool enough, or it
Speaker 6: doesn't sound it was almost always about you know, this
Speaker 6: isn't quite the right emotion for the scene.
Speaker 1: I would bet strongly that that sense of nostalgia was
Speaker 1: was a big thing that Alex pushed for, specifically since
Speaker 1: it was all coming from his childhood experiences.
Speaker 3: It does make sense, yeah, because this is a love
Speaker 3: note to his childhood.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Something I always notice Ian shows is sort of you know,
Speaker 1: motifs and instrumentation, which there's a YouTube channel called sideways
Speaker 1: that talks about how Steven Universe does this really strong
Speaker 1: the composers av and Shiashu do a really good job
Speaker 1: assigning instruments to the characters, which in itself is a
Speaker 1: very like Peter and the Wolf thing right by.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh for sure. Let me think about that, where
Speaker 2: you would.
Speaker 1: Have each instrument represent the character and the emotions of
Speaker 1: the characters feeling like.
Speaker 2: A big fat guy sounds like a two guy.
Speaker 1: And specifically for Steven Universe, in the case of you know,
Speaker 1: the characters can fuse and create new characters, and those
Speaker 1: fusions are the instruments brought together. Yeah, and Rick does
Speaker 1: a bit of that in Gravity Falls. It's definitely less
Speaker 1: specific to every character. In Gravity Falls, like with Steven Universe,
Speaker 1: every character has an assigned instrument. It is very consistent,
Speaker 1: and I think in here it is more about subjects
Speaker 1: and settings and feelings, kind of like what we were
Speaker 1: talking about with what Hersch kind of emphasizes in the
Speaker 1: Not What He Seems commentary. He describes them as palettes
Speaker 1: of instruments and chords.
Speaker 6: So Mabel kind of had a palette which was like
Speaker 6: what kind of eighties pop There's a palette that we established, like,
Speaker 6: there are a few, like specifically Gravity Falls sounds that
Speaker 6: I would rely on like, there's kind of this whispery
Speaker 6: ethereal synth sound that I would layer in a lot.
Speaker 1: Well, Gideon of course gets creepy broken music box tones.
Speaker 1: He has I think a very specific theme too that
Speaker 1: comes up. McGucket will get banjo, whether that's kind of
Speaker 1: a worn down, sad banjo of course, a more like
Speaker 1: action driven banjo, like the fight scene in I Guess
Speaker 1: Society The Blind Eye has a lot of that, And
Speaker 1: then a lot of gobble Wonker has banjo infused, which
Speaker 1: is an interesting kind of musical foreshadow of a fact
Speaker 1: that McGucket is behind the gobble Wonker the whole time.
Speaker 1: In that episode, Bill Seipher gets a lot of wonky synths,
Speaker 1: a lot of like and a lot of specifically backwards
Speaker 1: played stuff, right I think. And then there's a rising Shepherd, Yes,
Speaker 1: the rising Shepherd tone, which Bill has stated is his
Speaker 1: favorite music. I believe he said that in the and
Speaker 1: there's the there's this thing that's it's it's not arpeggio,
Speaker 1: but it's sort of a it's like whenever he's sort
Speaker 1: of summoned or brought about anytime we go to the portal,
Speaker 1: the basement lab under the mystery Shack. We get this huge,
Speaker 1: bombastic orchestration that intentionally sounds very industrial and very not
Speaker 1: like anything else we hear in the show, which I
Speaker 1: think is why stuff like the end of Gideon Rises
Speaker 1: and the climax of not be Seen feels so jarring
Speaker 1: and big, is because they are specifically saved for this,
Speaker 1: for these these moments, lots of horns, lots of strings,
Speaker 1: lots of classical film score stuff that you don't get
Speaker 1: in other episodic climaxes, and the emotional kind of more
Speaker 1: relationship driven moments, they will usually get a quieter acoustic
Speaker 1: guitar kind of thing, to the point where I almost
Speaker 1: I had like a running joke with myself. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I ever said this in the podcast, but
Speaker 1: similar to the the stock phrase of like ah, the setting,
Speaker 1: like it felt like in season one, there starts to
Speaker 1: be this pattern of like there, the characters sit down,
Speaker 1: they just I guess it's just that, well, this is
Speaker 1: my emotional thing, and then like the acoustic guitar go
Speaker 1: play very like full house.
Speaker 3: Like classic sit calm sound.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's it works, though I don't I.
Speaker 2: Don't become incredibly predictable when you notice it. So if
Speaker 2: you guys, go and rewatch theson one when an emotional
Speaker 2: moment about to happen, see if you can count in
Speaker 2: his acoustic guitar. I never wanted to move out and
Speaker 2: what was all this?
Speaker 1: Two three four?
Speaker 2: Everything was fine until you started bringing your friends around
Speaker 2: every night, I mean, hanging out with you. This summer
Speaker 2: has been fun.
Speaker 1: And in the commentary, Brick also said there are.
Speaker 6: A couple of chords like this augmented chord that I
Speaker 6: would use a lot.
Speaker 1: That's all over the show. So now now you can't
Speaker 1: unhear it.
Speaker 2: It is unheard.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, and that's just the ray that kind of
Speaker 1: goes into your ears.
Speaker 4: Society of the Blind ear.
Speaker 1: Death death fear.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, no, it is a bar.
Speaker 1: So HK. This is where your expertise will majorly help us,
Speaker 1: because we're going to start to go through the complicated
Speaker 1: history of this thing's released, this vinyl soundtrack, information getting
Speaker 1: to the public or lack thereof, and getting retracted and
Speaker 1: re unretracted and stuff like that, just to.
Speaker 2: Establish how in saying this gets Our podcast started recording
Speaker 2: after the vinyl was announced, and then we completely wrapped
Speaker 2: up before it was released.
Speaker 1: Right, and it was this perpetually soon to be released things.
Speaker 1: We kept saying like, oh yeah, well, we'll do this
Speaker 1: after the other episodes because then it'll be out, and
Speaker 1: then it it never came out.
Speaker 2: Well, by the time it came out, we were doing
Speaker 2: garden Wall recall and it was just like it.
Speaker 1: Was also that was getting shipped in stages.
Speaker 2: And and this year it is now finally on Spotify,
Speaker 2: so we're like, this is the time to talk about
Speaker 2: it because now we can actually like link it to people.
Speaker 1: But take us back to May twenty twenty one, when
Speaker 1: the first kind of big development happened. Yeah, sure, Well
Speaker 1: essentially by that point, like the vinyl, we were still
Speaker 1: in that waiting game, like seeing once it's going to release,
Speaker 1: and like they hadn't yet announced the art of the
Speaker 1: vinyl or anything else about it.
Speaker 4: They were just saying that it's gonna come soon. It's
Speaker 4: going to come soon, just pre order and stuff. But
Speaker 4: basically what happened was in May twenty one, someone on
Speaker 4: my server. I don't know if it started on my server,
Speaker 4: but it was where I heard it first. They made
Speaker 4: us aware that the full version of Disco Girl was
Speaker 4: leaked online that.
Speaker 1: Is the song that Dipper sings in the episode Dipper
Speaker 1: Versus Manliness by the Icelandic pop sensation Bablo.
Speaker 2: Dipper and the Multi Bear sing Let's do what Ever?
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's more of a stept up tech
Speaker 1: since he's got like six heads.
Speaker 2: I mean, we can self harmonize.
Speaker 4: But basically what happened was the source it came from,
Speaker 4: Believe it or not, a Fortnite mystery arg of some sort,
Speaker 4: much like the message that Palpatine sent to the Galaxy
Speaker 4: that we hear about in the Rise of Skywalker that
Speaker 4: is critical to the plot. This was only accessible through Fortnite.
Speaker 2: Well, this was a Fortnite leaks account, but yeah, no,
Speaker 2: if you pay attention to Fortnite, you're basically going to
Speaker 2: be clear on what is happening next.
Speaker 4: In all mean, yeah, apparently, basically it was like a
Speaker 4: discord server and someone who was good with data mining
Speaker 4: found the website that it was hosted on, and the
Speaker 4: website was known as Dipper's Secret Shame dot com.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the redditor called Dusky xlops says, I brought this
Speaker 1: to attention into discord server trying to crack a Fortnite mystery.
Speaker 1: I changed the subject by bringing up gravity Falls, which
Speaker 1: led to a very intelligent data minor going onto the
Speaker 1: website and cracking the code, so basically it caused this
Speaker 1: to surface.
Speaker 4: Accidentally, the website was password protected, so the password eventually
Speaker 4: was found to be Mason Pines and without a space
Speaker 4: on it, so when you input a data in it,
Speaker 4: it'll take you to a page where it has like
Speaker 4: the cassette wit of Disco Girl recorded on it, and
Speaker 4: if you press play on the bottom, it lets you
Speaker 4: listen to the full version of Disco Girl.
Speaker 2: Not only opens with Matt Chapman doing the worst Icelandic
Speaker 2: accent ever recorded.
Speaker 10: Ladies and Gentlemen Nama What super group all.
Speaker 2: Time, but also has Jason Ridder finally reprising the role
Speaker 2: of Dipper, singing along.
Speaker 11: The scene.
Speaker 2: Who She people say, you're to Falky Queen, It's me.
Speaker 1: We get an intro with Dipper in the shower singing
Speaker 1: his own theme song.
Speaker 2: Dipper, He's the mystery song. The ghost for him does
Speaker 2: want to be him. Girls are warming out to.
Speaker 1: Him generally, which is something we knew that he did,
Speaker 1: but we never heard that's true from the I think
Speaker 1: was Alexadam My favorite lyric is girls.
Speaker 2: Are warming up to him.
Speaker 3: It's a good line.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: He realizes that no one nobody's around, so he decides
Speaker 1: to play the classics.
Speaker 2: Well, if no one's around, I might listen to the classics.
Speaker 1: And then, of course at the end of the recording, uh,
Speaker 1: Stan walks in interrupting.
Speaker 2: In the middle of the recording, and Dipper pauses it,
Speaker 2: and then the song continues.
Speaker 1: Well, the dialogue of that snippet is identical to the
Speaker 1: one in Dipper Versus Manliness, to that flashback, so we
Speaker 1: can assume that this is that moment just captured on tape.
Speaker 2: Incident missing scene thick, as Mary McKeon would call it.
Speaker 2: Don't don't come in. I wasn't interrupting anything, was I? No, no, no, I.
Speaker 2: I had a thing that I heard sounded like the
Speaker 2: entire seventies.
Speaker 4: What's happening in here?
Speaker 2: Well, it was a ghost. You heard a ghost. I
Speaker 2: heard a ghost singing top forty hits. Yeah, yeah, it
Speaker 2: must be a ghost from that era, because who else
Speaker 2: would sing a song from then.
Speaker 1: And there's this awkward resolution to the conversation where Stan
Speaker 1: just sees himself out of the room.
Speaker 2: Well, you're a child wearing a towel so I'll leave.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's not that hard. People can we talk
Speaker 1: about how I don't know when else this would ever
Speaker 1: come up as far as Gravity Falls fans typing something
Speaker 1: into a website. I can't imagine when that would come
Speaker 1: up again. But figuring out Mason fines as the past
Speaker 1: where it is so like, I don't know, that's I
Speaker 1: find that very impressive that we can just kind.
Speaker 2: Of they literally must have been everyone trying everything until
Speaker 2: someone had written in Mason Pyre right right, yeah. And
Speaker 2: this is like we talked about this with the Cipher Hunt,
Speaker 2: that the opening clue to the Cipher Hunt was on
Speaker 2: the bus in the last scene of Gravity Falls in
Speaker 2: a Visionaire key that we did not have the code
Speaker 2: to yet and they brute forced it, which we tried
Speaker 2: doing a Visionaire key the regular way live on the
Speaker 2: podcast back, same episode as we had Rihanda on Love
Speaker 2: God's Heart. Is that easy? No, the normal when you
Speaker 2: have the code, but.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can. Basically you can have a Rubik's cube
Speaker 1: with as many squares as you want, mix it all
Speaker 1: up as algorithmically impossibly as you want, throw it to
Speaker 1: the Gravity Falls fandom and say go and you'll have
Speaker 1: it in about like five seconds, just with how many
Speaker 1: people there are. And then for real teamwork of it all,
Speaker 1: and and but especially the fact that this wasn't meant
Speaker 1: to be Yeah, exactly well, that we weren't apparently we're
Speaker 1: not meant to even know about this in the first place.
Speaker 1: It's that much more impressive.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 4: And the weird thing is that I am made but
Speaker 4: didn't copyright strike anything about it, Like they didn't go
Speaker 4: at anybody who posted it, Like I never got a
Speaker 4: DMCA from them, being like, take this down immediately because
Speaker 4: I posted it to my channel, and I think the
Speaker 4: Mystery of GF also posted it to his channel right right,
Speaker 4: right right, but like the day after it was posted,
Speaker 4: like we woke up to find the website I've been
Speaker 4: completely purged and it was just a white page with
Speaker 4: a clock on it being like this, it's down and
Speaker 4: something is gonna come up soon and it's never happened.
Speaker 2: Just a small pile of rocks with the one word
Speaker 2: unless I'm bringing the oncelor back into your breath.
Speaker 1: But thank you, thank gotting for that url toddler user
Speaker 1: giving back to me.
Speaker 2: If you're listening to this, we gotta do a special
Speaker 2: Wancelar episode.
Speaker 4: No, there's no way, they like that's probably in his
Speaker 4: like twenties an now at this point, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean it's possible.
Speaker 2: Have you seen that guy eventually disco Like Alex tweeted
Speaker 2: out Disco Girls.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was on the ten year anniversary of the show. Like,
Speaker 4: he tweeted out Disco Girl for like the ten year
Speaker 4: celebrations because like there was nothing else to do besides
Speaker 4: like the S and P emails.
Speaker 1: So we also released the recording of We'll Meet Again
Speaker 1: that's featured on the vinyl, which we'll talk about when
Speaker 1: we get to the actual soundtrack.
Speaker 2: It's so funny to me because for the you know,
Speaker 2: I was busy researching the entire rest of Gravity Falls
Speaker 2: during this time for some podcast they did who can remember,
Speaker 2: So I wasn't following this too closely. But it was
Speaker 2: very strange that all I knew about the vinyl soundtrack
Speaker 2: was that it had the full version of Disco Girl
Speaker 2: on it, and then the one thing I knew about
Speaker 2: it turned out to not be true kind of like
Speaker 2: broke my brain for a Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's right, because it was listed on the tracks as well.
Speaker 1: It was Disco girl, And then after this happened, it
Speaker 1: was gone no more disco Curry.
Speaker 4: I don't think it was even because of this, but
Speaker 4: like they quietly removed it off the actual website listing
Speaker 4: as well. Like no one found out about this until
Speaker 4: it came out.
Speaker 3: It was a little too close to the real song.
Speaker 1: I assume that's our.
Speaker 2: Guess is that it plays it a little little fast
Speaker 2: loose with the abba pastage.
Speaker 4: Yeah, The Mystery of GEF tweeted about it. He didn't
Speaker 4: specify what the reason was, but he just said it
Speaker 4: was like a license issue with a copyright holder or something.
Speaker 2: I have to imagine it was like, hey, this is
Speaker 2: not a parody, this is our song.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, and the lyrics are very cutting.
Speaker 13: She's not sass, four thousand miles discos of musical.
Speaker 5: Sound dis.
Speaker 2: Sod true.
Speaker 14: That girl is.
Speaker 13: Starting down.
Speaker 7: That girl.
Speaker 13: My convision applications.
Speaker 7: That girl is.
Speaker 12: A right.
Speaker 2: I better uh better hide this tape. Mabel can never know.
Speaker 1: So that history kind of intertwines with the overall history
Speaker 1: of Gravity Falls music publication, like with Brad Brieck's SoundCloud.
Speaker 1: Because on March twenty eighth and twenty ninth, twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: Brad Brieck himself uploaded three volumes of music excerpts from
Speaker 1: gravity Fall season one to his SoundCloud, and you might
Speaker 1: recall that this is where we discovered zombie Love, which
Speaker 1: is the unused lyrical summer wene ending song that closed
Speaker 1: out our podcast on that episode, because I love a
Speaker 1: monster mash sound alike, pastiche it's great. And then in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, Brieck uploaded playlists of the full scores of
Speaker 1: every episode of the series, as well as a Gravity
Speaker 1: Falls Real playlist with highlighted excerpts from the soundtrack. But
Speaker 1: sometime in twenty twenty two, Brad Reriick began uploading the
Speaker 1: full episode scores to his YouTube, which delightfully are labeled
Speaker 1: like you can label the chapters in a YouTube video.
Speaker 1: They're all labeled with individual track names within each episode,
Speaker 1: which is awesome, really tickles my brain in that nerd way.
Speaker 2: Because now we know what every single Gravity Falls song
Speaker 2: is called.
Speaker 4: Yeah pretty much, yeah right.
Speaker 1: The vinyl was you know, it was announced in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty and this, I don't know if you remember, this
Speaker 1: really weird thing was going on in twenty twenty. It
Speaker 1: starts that started in twenty twenty and I don't know
Speaker 1: if anybody anybody remembers, but whatever it was, it was
Speaker 1: contributing to a lot of delays in the production and
Speaker 1: the shipping out of these records, and as well as
Speaker 1: the fact that I am eight bit, and I guess
Speaker 1: other sources as well tend to do this where you
Speaker 1: pre order one wave that gets stripped out at one
Speaker 1: point in time, then there are new pre orders opened
Speaker 1: up that gets stripped out at a later point. And
Speaker 1: according to the Gravity Falls wiki, the first wave was
Speaker 1: shipped out on November sixteenth of twenty twenty two, second
Speaker 1: wave in December twenty twenty two. In January twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4: And here's the other thing, Like, UMG didn't announce that
Speaker 4: the soundtrack was then going to be released on didgit
Speaker 4: like on Spotify or anything like the only time week, Yeah,
Speaker 4: it was completely If I had known that that was
Speaker 4: the case, like I wouldn't be so worried.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. On January twelfth of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: the vinyl soundtracks music was uploaded to Spotify and other
Speaker 1: digital platforms cpletely unannounced. Like you said, yeah, so we
Speaker 1: can finally start to get into the actual album that
Speaker 1: we're talking about, starting with the beautiful cover.
Speaker 2: Art, the award winning cover art.
Speaker 1: That's true, the award winning cover. The cover art is
Speaker 1: by ghost Shrimp, who was formerly a storyboard artist on
Speaker 1: The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and a lead background designer
Speaker 1: on Adventure Time.
Speaker 2: Oh, it definitely gives off Adventure Time backgrounds.
Speaker 3: It gives very Flapjack vibes to me too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I see that. Yeah, it's got this kind
Speaker 2: of psychedelic vibe that kind of Yeah, doesn't necessarily look
Speaker 2: like any particular album from the the LSD tours.
Speaker 4: I will say, like I remember when the cover was released.
Speaker 4: It was sort of controversial with the fandom because like
Speaker 4: a lot of people where like this doesn't really feel
Speaker 4: too grovidy falls like or like it.
Speaker 2: Should have been.
Speaker 1: Like stylistically, it doesn't resemble the shit.
Speaker 2: That's how Grunkle Stan remembers the sixties.
Speaker 15: Though.
Speaker 4: Yeah, true, that's true. Personally, like it's grown on me
Speaker 4: a lot, like I I like it a lot now,
Speaker 4: Like like at first, like I was a bit iffy,
Speaker 4: but like personally, like I've come to grow to it.
Speaker 4: Like I love the vinyl cover.
Speaker 2: It looks like something that would be on a restaurant
Speaker 2: that college kids go to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it looks like mellow mushroom.
Speaker 2: It gives me mellow mushroom vibes.
Speaker 1: Kind of looks like a yeah, the part of it,
Speaker 1: I think it's wonderful, wonderfully whims the part of a
Speaker 1: restaurant that serves all of its burgers on like a
Speaker 1: plank of wood.
Speaker 4: I can confirm as a recent university graduate, I've seen
Speaker 4: a lot of places like that in downtown Toronto alone.
Speaker 1: So you know there's that I love, just all the
Speaker 1: detail and you can pour over it really for as
Speaker 1: long as you could be actual music, yeah.
Speaker 2: Which is what the goal of a vinyl is is,
Speaker 2: like you need something to look at while the music
Speaker 2: is happening, which is kind of lost with CDs because
Speaker 2: it's a flimsy piece of cardboard that you shouldn't shouldn't
Speaker 2: touch too much.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 3: The CDs used to have those books with like pictures
Speaker 3: from destruction and like lyrics that I miss no for.
Speaker 2: Sure, But the difference is that in a vinyl of
Speaker 2: the book, those books are bigger, So yeah, it's forgot
Speaker 2: is always better. Shelby oh, I forgot.
Speaker 1: That's why they That's why they were biggering, right, That's
Speaker 1: why they did all that biggering, right.
Speaker 2: They were figuring on it, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Tumbler user, he no, But I love how they weave
Speaker 1: the idea of like the literal LP and kind of
Speaker 1: record designs, Like on the front is like the Mystery
Speaker 1: Shack itself has the two LP sign in place of
Speaker 1: world Paypop, which is of course, uh, the erroneous world
Speaker 1: of Famous sign from hand that rocks the male that
Speaker 1: I can't get out of my head.
Speaker 2: There's a weird animation mistake where world Famous as the
Speaker 2: World's paper, but it drove insane for an entire month.
Speaker 1: Go listen to that episode to find out. And yeah,
Speaker 1: the two grunkles are sort of their faces are on
Speaker 1: the building and they have the records in their mouths that.
Speaker 2: Are like for me, well, they are the Mystery Shack,
Speaker 2: you know. I think the Mystery Shock is kind of
Speaker 2: its own character, and also.
Speaker 1: The I'm realizing that describing it as making me sound insane.
Speaker 1: You'd probably just look at a picture of it.
Speaker 2: But you can look at a picture of it unless
Speaker 2: you have a blind ear.
Speaker 3: I think SEUs is the cutest Sus has ever been
Speaker 3: in this picture, and that's saying a.
Speaker 1: Lot, because Sus is a door, the world's most perfect man.
Speaker 1: There's and even the you know, you open it up
Speaker 1: and there's even more detail. I would bet there's a
Speaker 1: reference to every single episode in here, probably because you've
Speaker 1: got like the back has like the infinity sided die,
Speaker 1: the shrinking flashlight, you've got like Darlene, You've got. My
Speaker 1: favorite detail is probably mister pool Check strangling the gobble
Speaker 1: wonker because he totally would like if that thing appeared
Speaker 1: in his pool, it would be over. Yeah.
Speaker 4: The detail is just incredible.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And then of course all on the cover as well,
Speaker 1: you've got the big phonograph horn with Bill coming out.
Speaker 3: Of it, like the kitten frists.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, of course gotta.
Speaker 2: Have them immortalized by Shelby, that's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can get into the tracks themselves. We've got
Speaker 1: disc one, side A, which is marked by the pine
Speaker 1: tree on the record itself and Dippers on the cover.
Speaker 2: For those who have never handled a vinyl, basically the
Speaker 2: amount of tracks that are on an album don't fit
Speaker 2: on one side of a vinyl, so it's pretty standard
Speaker 2: for there to be two vinyl records, each with an
Speaker 2: A side and a B side. So if you see
Speaker 2: that you have a four sided record, you haven't crossed
Speaker 2: any thresholds into a new dimension.
Speaker 1: That's I mean, since there is four of us, could
Speaker 1: go each of us list the tracks off of each side.
Speaker 2: Do you want me to do it as Dipper then,
Speaker 2: since this is the Dipper record, yeah, I suppose so okay.
Speaker 2: So track one is Gravity Falls main title theme, track
Speaker 2: two Let's Rewind score from Tourist Trapped. Track three is
Speaker 2: gobble Wonker chase score from Legend of the gobble Wonker.
Speaker 2: Track four is Pig is Seuss from Carpet Diam Then
Speaker 2: five is book Discovery score from Tourist Trapped and Gideon's
Speaker 2: theme score from The Hand that Rocks the Mable. And
Speaker 2: there's a backwards message and that we'll get into that's
Speaker 2: not for this room of the museum though.
Speaker 1: No, but it does take place right after that track.
Speaker 1: I felt it worthy to note because you know, again, kids,
Speaker 1: unlike with digital music or CDs, you you have to
Speaker 1: just put the needle in the right spot to find
Speaker 1: the track that you want. You don't get to press
Speaker 1: a button and get.
Speaker 2: Basically, it looks like there are things etched into parts
Speaker 2: where there are songs, and it looks clean like nothing
Speaker 2: has ever happened to the parts where there aren't songs.
Speaker 2: So if you look real closely, you can see where
Speaker 2: each song starts and stops, which is why you get
Speaker 2: the titles like needle drop when a song starts playing
Speaker 2: at the right moment.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Track six Wax Battle from Headhunters. Track seven Boys Crazy
Speaker 2: Medley several times songs several several time songs all the several.
Speaker 1: Times songs which I'm sure Dipper loves that track.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Eight Let's do This named for the hand
Speaker 2: that rocks the Mabel credit scene, for which it was
Speaker 2: evidently originally composed. It's also in Tourist Trap, but the
Speaker 2: full score for that episode confirms there was originally a
Speaker 2: different track in that scene.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I find that interesting because it's the track that
Speaker 1: what we know as the montage of Dipper spying on
Speaker 1: Mabel and Norman has this in it, but it was
Speaker 1: not compared is for it originally?
Speaker 2: Nine is it Bottomless Score from Bottomless Pit, which is
Speaker 2: in the same track track nine as Triangulum Intagulum, which
Speaker 2: is how it's written.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's misspelled on the track title for some reason,
Speaker 1: just not what Gideon says in the amazing.
Speaker 2: Score from Dreamscaperers. And then should I record it and
Speaker 2: then you reverse it? Or should I try to read
Speaker 2: it backwards?
Speaker 1: Try to read it backwards?
Speaker 2: All which is a backmasked song from the Inconveniencing.
Speaker 5: May even.
Speaker 2: Email e mail mail snow, what song is?
Speaker 1: What song?
Speaker 5: Is that?
Speaker 2: What song?
Speaker 1: Are you sure? No?
Speaker 2: Don't don't you know if you tried to find out?
Speaker 1: Really, we do a lot of don't we Why don't
Speaker 1: we just play back something?
Speaker 2: Some things are just better off not knowing. I always
Speaker 2: shall we say exactly that?
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem like you're different, That doesn't seem like how.
Speaker 2: You Then Track eleven is fight Fighters Battle Suite Score,
Speaker 2: and I.
Speaker 1: Love this one because you can tell right like the
Speaker 1: exact Q when the Superpower Mega Ultra Meta Refix combo.
Speaker 1: You can tell right when that happens. Track twelve, being
Speaker 1: Blanching is just an iconic way to end out. This
Speaker 1: is this side of the album.
Speaker 16: Planting Girl We Blanching. I live up in the mansion,
Speaker 16: girl Love Blanching. I live up being the mansion cannot
Speaker 16: please have your attention, because you know, straight blanching cannot
Speaker 16: please have your attention. You know that straight we be
Speaker 16: blanching on a play, We be blanching straight to we
Speaker 16: got panching on Come on you.
Speaker 5: Baby, hey.
Speaker 2: Kids, Oh we blanching. Yeah, we do plant. If we
Speaker 2: continue to blanch, that would make it yeah. Yeah, And
Speaker 2: I love it's so because this could have just been like,
Speaker 2: here's some songs from the show, but there are like
Speaker 2: new like dude, we didn't have a full version of
Speaker 2: blanche in priorities. We didn't have a full version of
Speaker 2: we meete again. And I don't know. It's such an
Speaker 2: interesting work overall, especially the choices.
Speaker 1: I'd preferred more of a strict chronological, you know, escalation.
Speaker 1: But I also think it's a fun mix tonally. You
Speaker 1: get a lot of things that kind of back and forth.
Speaker 1: Are our fun contrasts. Yeah, and it's generally split between
Speaker 1: season one and two, but they're obviously like blanching is
Speaker 1: clear obviously season two, and I would say it's split
Speaker 1: more in the sense of like fun and plot. I guess,
Speaker 1: you know. Disc disc one, Disc fun.
Speaker 15: Disc too, Discontinuity Track one on Disc one.
Speaker 1: Side B, which is denoted by the shooting Star and
Speaker 1: has Mabel on the cover is Finally I Have Them All,
Speaker 1: which is the score from the end of Gideon Rises.
Speaker 1: Track two we have Gideon's song from the Hand that
Speaker 1: Rocks the Mabel, which is It's One, It's It is
Speaker 1: one of my favorites.
Speaker 2: There's a church choir in this version that's not in
Speaker 2: the episode.
Speaker 1: I get why that didn't appear in the actual episode,
Speaker 1: because they would it would be weird if it appeared
Speaker 1: like non diegetically, they probably would have had it justify
Speaker 1: it with some kind of animation that they didn't want
Speaker 1: to do. I I do get why it's not there,
Speaker 1: but it adds so much to the character of Gideon,
Speaker 1: into the vibe that he's giving, which is this evangelical,
Speaker 1: you know sermon. It also lacks the dialogue from Gideon
Speaker 1: talking to the audience, which is interesting.
Speaker 2: Something tells me your name, Mabel, and then there's just
Speaker 2: silence for a little bit.
Speaker 1: Track three is It's all led up to This, which
Speaker 1: is score from Scaraoke, which sort of directly follows Finally
Speaker 1: I Have Them All. It's the intro to that episode
Speaker 1: with Stan remarking that he probably should have worn pants
Speaker 1: for such a momentous occasion, which always made me wonder like,
Speaker 1: did he think what Ford was gonna step out?
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 1: Then he should have worked pants?
Speaker 2: He would have Ford would have stepped down and been like,
Speaker 2: all right, I'll see myself. Yeah, just walked right back.
Speaker 1: Track four is Working Girls aka Large and in Charge
Speaker 1: from Boss Mabel, performed by Carmen Carter. And this one
Speaker 1: is even stranger because the copyright is registered as Large
Speaker 1: and in Charge. Right then, Working Girls is what it's
Speaker 1: on the soundtrack as Track five is Gnome Chase. No
Speaker 1: guesses as to what episode this is from. This is
Speaker 1: from Torrest Trap. Track six is the end credits of
Speaker 1: Gideon Rise's notably Without Gravity Falls Will Return, which was
Speaker 1: only I think on the initial rigs. Track seven is
Speaker 1: Who's that Girl Again? I love the contrasts here because
Speaker 1: you go from the song of Sock Opera to track eight.
Speaker 1: Fiddleford hadron Muggucket which is misspelled Mugucket.
Speaker 2: This is actually his mother, Yeah.
Speaker 1: But it's the score from the blind Eye episode, which
Speaker 1: his entire tragic backstory right after the Sock Opera. Uh,
Speaker 1: and then we get another backwards message followed by the
Speaker 1: stan Wrong song from Boss Mabel, again following the backstory
Speaker 1: of Fiddleford with the stand Wrong song Absolute Perfection.
Speaker 2: That's very meta.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as noted on the wiki, this is evidently an
Speaker 1: earlier version, like before the final mix. I guess.
Speaker 13: Jazzier.
Speaker 2: My guess to what it was was the instrumental ran
Speaker 2: longer than they expected and there was a part where
Speaker 2: it was like this silence could be filled by Mabel
Speaker 2: saying something else, and Alex just recorded it as a
Speaker 2: temp track until Kristen was in the studio for the
Speaker 2: next episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I guess that's probably true. They have her
Speaker 1: lines for the rest of the song, but not because.
Speaker 2: She doesn't sing any parts of it, so the instrumental
Speaker 2: wouldn't need to be there yet while she was.
Speaker 3: Recording when they mixed it it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also if you time into the visuals, Mabel's
Speaker 1: on screen lines are all there, and her initial do
Speaker 1: the kicks is there. Jazzier is still an off screen line,
Speaker 1: so that might be it.
Speaker 2: I mean, adr you could say that, yeah you liked
Speaker 2: my puns, what happened in two.
Speaker 1: Years, Well, they're the same puns.
Speaker 3: I mean, the thing is.
Speaker 1: Track ten is a very tricky triangle, which is from
Speaker 1: SoC Opera. I believe it's a scene when Dipper is
Speaker 1: manipulated into shaking his hand and gets possessed, and then
Speaker 1: we get that kind of bouncy like playful music as
Speaker 1: he's using Dipper's body for the first time, slapping himself,
Speaker 1: et cetera. Then we come to disc two, side A
Speaker 1: with the Fez symbol and brunkle Stan on the cover. Shelby,
Speaker 1: would you like to take us through those?
Speaker 3: I absolutely will.
Speaker 2: You don't have to do the stand voice of your Lynx.
Speaker 2: I don't think I.
Speaker 3: Could do that prolonged period of time.
Speaker 1: I wasn't really doing Mabel, so you don't have to
Speaker 1: do stand.
Speaker 3: It's all good. So track one is a World of
Speaker 3: Enchantment or whatever, and I came up with a plan
Speaker 3: score from Tale of Two Stands.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe that's all that seamless sequence where he's
Speaker 1: inventing the mystery shack you know on the spot, or
Speaker 1: rather the murder Hut.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, the Murder Hut. Track two is the two
Speaker 3: Kids Who Ruined My Life score from Blendon's Game.
Speaker 1: I think that's the opening when he initially calls out Globnar.
Speaker 3: Track three is Everything Changes Today score from Not what
Speaker 3: He's Seeing Again. The opening track four is time Battle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the song that plays' Globnar and it
Speaker 2: ends with Brad chanting time Battle instead of what I
Speaker 2: believe is Alex chanting Globnar as in the episode.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it kind of threw us off just a little bit,
Speaker 3: but yeah.
Speaker 2: The music is a reference to the music in the
Speaker 2: commercial for Crossfire, which is one of the greatest commercials
Speaker 2: ever shot.
Speaker 1: Look it up if you haven't, so I'm almost surprised
Speaker 1: that the temp track wasn't just.
Speaker 3: Crossfire, and that is score from Blendin's game. Track number
Speaker 3: five is Black and Sky score from Northwest Mansion Mystery.
Speaker 3: Track six is Don't Let Them Escape score from Golf War.
Speaker 3: Track seven is I Want to Be Ex's score from
Speaker 3: Little Gift Shop of Horrors.
Speaker 1: Why is that the title, Well, it's because it's it's
Speaker 1: the end credits when Mabel is playing the tech Toe
Speaker 1: and I have the hardest time finding the source for
Speaker 1: this one because the title is I Want to Be
Speaker 1: X's and X's is spelled with an E, like in
Speaker 1: a relationship, So I thought, is this from the Love
Speaker 1: God or something, but no, it's it's Mabel saying, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to be x'es as in I want to
Speaker 1: play X's in our tic tac togey.
Speaker 2: They didn't write it capital X apostrophe. Yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: I got it now.
Speaker 3: Track eight is I need that Machine to stay on
Speaker 3: score from not what he seems.
Speaker 2: Which is just a fantastic score overall, which is why
Speaker 2: they had him do a bonus commentary for that episode. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Track nine is yeah, dude, friends, score from into the
Speaker 3: Bunker and your fighting only makes us look more rad
Speaker 3: from Scarioke.
Speaker 1: Two bangers, Absolute bangers.
Speaker 3: Followed by another banger oh. Track ten taking Over to
Speaker 3: Night aka taking Over Midnight from Scarioke.
Speaker 1: Yeah again, I don't know why the in universe name
Speaker 1: of the song is different from what they are calling
Speaker 1: the song, but I digress.
Speaker 2: Later we'll get to this. But there are even more
Speaker 2: for the song.
Speaker 1: Oh god, that's true. Too many? So HK, would you
Speaker 1: like to take us through a disc two side B
Speaker 1: with a six fingered hand? Yeah, sure you guessed it, Bill,
Speaker 1: Bill's not the.
Speaker 2: Six hand, Bill the six fingered hand.
Speaker 1: No wait, no, Sometimes I understand wanting to downplay stanford
Speaker 1: Ian like covers and stuff, since he is, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of a walking spoiler, but they didn't. He's on
Speaker 1: the cover of this album, why not just make him
Speaker 1: the six finger?
Speaker 2: It also like this is so hard for the fandom
Speaker 2: to even think about, which is part of the reason
Speaker 2: we made the podcast. But Bill is also a walking spoiler.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get in the similar way.
Speaker 4: Also one thing of speaking of Ford as being a spoiler.
Speaker 4: Back in twenty eighteen, when the box set came out,
Speaker 4: like Alex was asked about like why Ford isn't on
Speaker 4: the box and he was like, because you know, he's
Speaker 4: a spoiler. But then when you bought the box seat
Speaker 4: in twenty eighteen, it came with a little pamphlet and
Speaker 4: that mentioned, you know, also by Lost Legends because it's
Speaker 4: came out on the same day. And take a guess
Speaker 4: who's on theware of Lost Legends?
Speaker 2: What second stamp? Exactly how these animation mistakes.
Speaker 1: A lot of the DVD box sets came with the
Speaker 1: see you Next Summer pamphlet right the papers.
Speaker 2: And Stan just can't decide what his full name or
Speaker 2: handwriting is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So take us through, all right, sure, starting with
Speaker 4: track one, it's Mabel, It's Bill, which is a score
Speaker 4: from Dipper and Mabel Versus the Future, and then following
Speaker 4: that is track two, Got in a Pig from the
Speaker 4: Love God performed by Robbie Wycoff and.
Speaker 2: By Neil csirika Ak.
Speaker 4: And then after that, track three is the Weird mcgedton
Speaker 4: Part one suite. There's also a backwards message from Standing
Speaker 4: It after it. Yeah, and then there's track number four
Speaker 4: which is Giggle Creek, which is a score from Weirdmagedon
Speaker 4: Part two, Escape from Reality. After that there's track five
Speaker 4: which is Bill Trick Me from the Last Mabel Corn
Speaker 4: which you know, I think we all know what that's
Speaker 4: related to. After that, this one was something that I
Speaker 4: was a surprise to learn about, which is track number six,
Speaker 4: My Heart is Made of Rainbows from Weir Mega Part
Speaker 4: two Escape from Reality, also performed by Robbie Wycoff. And
Speaker 4: like in the episode, it was the instrumental version that
Speaker 4: played at the start when you know Dipper, Susan Wendy
Speaker 4: arrive in Mabel Land. But here is the lyrical version
Speaker 4: and that was really cool to hear.
Speaker 1: And it's completely new. We hadn't heard this at all.
Speaker 1: It's a brand new song, you know, but.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's one of my favorite songs in the entire soundtrack. Yeah,
Speaker 4: move on from there. We then have track number seven,
Speaker 4: which is I'm a Flipping quarter right, which is a
Speaker 4: score from where again in part one.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: Then there's track number eight, which is saying Goodbye to
Speaker 4: gravity Falls, which is the score at the end of
Speaker 4: Weird meged and Part three take Back the Falls never
Speaker 4: gets sold that one. And then we have the Weird
Speaker 4: Megedton Part four end credits score.
Speaker 1: Fake fake fake news. Wird Mgeddon Part three is both parts.
Speaker 1: I think that I don't think plus should have it
Speaker 1: split like that. The only reason they split is for
Speaker 1: rerun purposes, so why there's no reason too?
Speaker 4: It's typical Disney.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: Then there's uh grev a t Falls sim which is
Speaker 4: backwards message.
Speaker 2: Uh sill a little bit did.
Speaker 1: Did not.
Speaker 3: An exorcist? We need to call it exorcis.
Speaker 4: I wonder what song this one is. I've never heard
Speaker 4: of it and it's used in all three Word Megannon episodes.
Speaker 2: Hm M, yeah, well so it it's an anagram of
Speaker 2: gravity Falls theme. And then it's the words Bill's chopped
Speaker 2: and screwed remix. I I love this one. Because like
Speaker 2: the melody is not the same as the gravity Falls
Speaker 2: theme one to one, Like there's the part records, it's
Speaker 2: like still recognizable as the gravity Falls theme despite all
Speaker 2: of the things it's doing with it, including changing up
Speaker 2: the recognizable melody towards.
Speaker 1: The end because it's the same instrument palette.
Speaker 4: And then finally we end off with track eleven, probably
Speaker 4: the most well known of the entire vinyl. I guess
Speaker 4: you could say it's will Meet Again, performed by question
Speaker 4: Mark aka Bill sus Stan and mcguck Adam. Is this
Speaker 4: their band name?
Speaker 1: That's the only explanation that I could come up with
Speaker 1: that it just says, performed by question Mark, creep smiling.
Speaker 2: Through just like you don'des always do, Old the Blue
Speaker 2: Skies drive the Dark Clouds for a word? So will
Speaker 2: you please say hello to the folks that I know?
Speaker 4: Tell him I won't be long.
Speaker 2: They'll be happy to know that is you saw me go.
Speaker 2: I wasn't screaming this song.
Speaker 13: We all meet again, don't know where, don't know when,
Speaker 13: but I know we'll meet.
Speaker 2: Again some day. But I love that it's it's just
Speaker 2: Alex's characters. For some reason, something about that is so funny.
Speaker 4: To me, just Alex over and over again.
Speaker 2: That is I love Also the last thought you're left
Speaker 2: with when you finished listening to it cover to cover
Speaker 2: is I hate you all, you.
Speaker 1: Dudes, I hate you all. So, as we've noted with
Speaker 1: some of them, some of the vocal songs particularly have
Speaker 1: either like different mixing or alternate takes or are they
Speaker 1: they're either in hand are extended in this recording the
Speaker 1: several times songs all have like added harmonies, and before
Speaker 1: the song Mabel Girl, one of them shouts twenty twelve,
Speaker 1: which might have been the first version of the gag
Speaker 1: that became twenty thirteen, which.
Speaker 2: Is fascinating that it was changed to twenty thirteen.
Speaker 4: That's what's basically spriaked the whole twenty thirteen debate what Grierdy.
Speaker 1: Falls and that song there's like the bridge that's kind
Speaker 1: of spoken word, and it has different timing than it
Speaker 1: does in the actual episode, and a lot of it
Speaker 1: being chalked down to like mixing and timing. I think
Speaker 1: is especially telling of the animation process, because when you
Speaker 1: put things to picture, you might reorganize things in your
Speaker 1: sound mix. Then, of course Blancheon is an entire extended song.
Speaker 1: We talked about Gideon's song and Stan Wrong Song and
Speaker 1: Globnar In taken over Tonight, everyone joins in for the
Speaker 1: final line instead of just Dipper. If you'll remember, in
Speaker 1: our Scaraokey episode, we featured an alternate take of Jason
Speaker 1: River's performance of that song.
Speaker 3: I love his alternate takes so much, But yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Would guess that they had that sound mix in there
Speaker 1: because it was meant to be like that final harmony.
Speaker 1: But what we ended up getting was Dipper singing it
Speaker 1: and then Mable saving him, which is more kind of
Speaker 1: a visual thing rather than something you would be able
Speaker 1: to predict in the sound mix. Also, in the liner
Speaker 1: notes of the album, Grunkle is consistently spelled wrong with
Speaker 1: the L after the E.
Speaker 2: That's actually the science experiment Ford did to make himself
Speaker 2: less of a nerd a las stefan or kel. That's drunkkel,
Speaker 2: drunk Kel.
Speaker 1: I was imagining it as some sort of German pastry.
Speaker 1: This vinyl received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Recording
Speaker 1: Package because of that killer cover art and overall packaging
Speaker 1: of the album.
Speaker 2: So as I had alluded to, Matt Chapman made so
Speaker 2: many songs for Homestar Runner, and was in some bands
Speaker 2: with his friends before and after Homestart Well, there's no
Speaker 2: after homestarre Runner, per se, and the lyrics and Homestarre
Speaker 2: Runner are so funny and weird like it perfectly captures
Speaker 2: the essence of someone improvising a song in a way
Speaker 2: that is written out to be the funniest possible, and
Speaker 2: so Alex, also being a fan of homestore Runner, had
Speaker 2: Matt either write or rewrite songs in Gravity Falls for
Speaker 2: as long as he was on the staff. So I
Speaker 2: contacted him and basically he responded sending us a bunch
Speaker 2: of a bunch of never before heard early demos of
Speaker 2: Gravity Falls songs. Oh, he writes, I got a should
Speaker 2: I Should I do the voice?
Speaker 1: Yes? I'd be outvoted anyway, wouldn't I?
Speaker 17: So yeah, I had a keyboard and they might set
Speaker 17: up in my office at Disney. And one of my
Speaker 17: favorite cards is what I worked on GF was Alex
Speaker 17: would pop it and saying you need a little song
Speaker 17: for an episode. Jeff Row was usually my partner at
Speaker 17: Crime and we'd crak out something ridiculous in an hour
Speaker 17: or two. Eventually Brad Brake would be given our rough
Speaker 17: demos that make them sound like it, but it always
Speaker 17: amazes me how much DNA from our janky demos would
Speaker 17: for Maine in the final version.
Speaker 1: Notably, I have heard these previously, us have, so.
Speaker 2: This is initial reactions.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm exciting.
Speaker 1: So not only are you out there, I'm pointing with
Speaker 1: my finger like in a three D movie, you are
Speaker 1: hearing this for the first time, never before heard songs,
Speaker 1: but these folks here are also hearing it for the
Speaker 1: first time.
Speaker 2: There are two groups of people in the entire world
Speaker 2: to have heard these songs before, being the Gravity Falls
Speaker 2: crew and Ella. I'm sorry.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So first up we have here is Mabel Girl. We
Speaker 2: got two different versions with minor lyrical differences. Matt writes.
Speaker 17: After writing the several times episode, Alex asked if I
Speaker 17: wanted to try the Clones final trivia song to Mabel.
Speaker 17: This was my first attempt crumbled together in garage band.
Speaker 12: Mabel Jong, We know you have a dost wrong because
Speaker 12: you got it going on. Why go, I guess that's
Speaker 12: why we're growing so able girl.
Speaker 2: You cheat us, all right.
Speaker 5: We know that you would never lie to.
Speaker 18: You know that's right, because you're so selfless, breaking dam
Speaker 18: with your awkward She needs chop, but we keep enough
Speaker 18: sake the farm ever fend of Mabel Girl, were fun
Speaker 18: with you. Oh, I'm the biggest fan, not like m
Speaker 18: brock Man saying strong much.
Speaker 2: You know that's right, Mabel Daughter.
Speaker 14: You can't say no lives.
Speaker 2: Mabel Girl, Willow. We believe you, and you know that
Speaker 2: we could never leave you.
Speaker 12: Here.
Speaker 2: It comes you because we love your soul.
Speaker 18: That's why I've got to let you go.
Speaker 2: Dang, Oh my god. Yeah, well there's a lot of
Speaker 2: lyrical differences for the final version there, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3: I like that Mabel was originally supposed to sing along.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I liked that in corporation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I gotta let you go, she just
Speaker 2: solemnly says in the episode. I also love that they
Speaker 2: cut We're in Love with You for probably obvious reasons. Yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: And now we have another demo he did of Mabel
Speaker 2: Girl with minor lyrical differences.
Speaker 12: Mabel Jong, we know you never do what's wrong because
Speaker 12: you got it going on.
Speaker 7: Why.
Speaker 12: I guess that's why we wrote this song little good.
Speaker 1: We would.
Speaker 14: Because you're so simple.
Speaker 7: Break Day always keep us safe from harm.
Speaker 2: You got such awkward teenage charms saved just from the spongey.
Speaker 14: You know that's right, Mabel, save no love, allow it
Speaker 14: be believe you and you know we could never believe.
Speaker 2: You, he recalls, yo, because we love you.
Speaker 7: So that's why I've got to let you go.
Speaker 2: That's what it would sound like if Matt voiced Mabel.
Speaker 1: Let's say, Homestar really really pulled it together in that
Speaker 1: last line there. That's why I've gotta let you go.
Speaker 2: The rest of these will all be with Jeff Row
Speaker 2: also there, singing and doing terrible impressions of the characters.
Speaker 1: Can't wait, get on, Jeff.
Speaker 2: Next, we have text me tomorrow.
Speaker 1: That would be tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me say that again, text me TOMORROWUD.
Speaker 1: Just sounds like you're doing it as as a seed bonnet.
Speaker 2: Yeah, text me tomorrow.
Speaker 19: Here, writes from scaraoke, alexand Brad Brieke make a living
Speaker 19: on a prayer esque backing track and test Jeff Row
Speaker 19: and I with trying some lyrics. Our first attempt was
Speaker 19: a carb maybe ripoff called tixt Me Tomorrow, but ultimately
Speaker 19: it didn't get big slash harmonious enough in the chorus
Speaker 19: to bust zombie heads.
Speaker 2: This was my generation's call me Mabel. Uh no, it
Speaker 2: is fascinating that they did eventually do it. Call me
Speaker 2: maybe parody and one exists here.
Speaker 1: Oh Mabel, does it have to be this song?
Speaker 2: This is the only song now, singing.
Speaker 10: Colon Parnthus sees, is how you smiled at me?
Speaker 20: I texted back some.
Speaker 1: Z's and now you're so in love. You sent me
Speaker 1: pictures of cats.
Speaker 2: They all wore funny hats.
Speaker 1: I was way into that.
Speaker 2: I texted back, watsop, understand. It's your two kids. I
Speaker 2: don't know if our lives are worth this.
Speaker 16: Do it.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stay.
Speaker 1: I'm doing this is the best part.
Speaker 2: Love is the three letter word.
Speaker 18: Jeez, it's got you.
Speaker 21: And then life is crazy.
Speaker 2: But love is bizarrow. If you still like me, then
Speaker 2: text me tomorrow. Life is crazy. The love is bizarro.
Speaker 21: If you still like me, this is it, boys, life
Speaker 21: is crazy. The love is bizarrow. If you still like me,
Speaker 21: then text me tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, life is crazy. My love is bizarro. If you
Speaker 2: still like me, and text me tomorrow. If you still
Speaker 2: like me, text me tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Eat it.
Speaker 2: Zombies, cap You're all dead. Oh my comf. So that
Speaker 2: was Ninja Turtle's mutant mayhe director Jeff Row as Mabel
Speaker 2: as he always voiced, he's.
Speaker 3: Got a very Mabel energy, Jeffy fresh because he does.
Speaker 2: Now we finally have we finally know what table read
Speaker 2: Mabel sounded like, so we could kind of cobble together
Speaker 2: with these episodes sound.
Speaker 1: But yeah, ego eared listeners will notice that that is
Speaker 1: literally the same instrumental as taking Over to Night, but
Speaker 1: completely different melody and lyrics of course. And yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know if it would have like landed as well
Speaker 1: if the entire hook hinges on rhyming with the word bizarro,
Speaker 1: you know, it.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't have been as good a climax to skaraoke. It is, however,
Speaker 2: a new Gravity Falls song that no one has heard
Speaker 2: outside of the instru The beginning part really plays it
Speaker 2: close to call Me Rape. Yeah, I'm gonna listen to
Speaker 2: that a billion more times after that. I love it
Speaker 2: so much, and I love how much bad Jeff are
Speaker 2: just making each other laugh while recording, And I like
Speaker 2: the intro.
Speaker 1: I guess I guess the joke of the intro where
Speaker 1: UH differs, like does it have to be this song?
Speaker 1: And this is the only song it's like the only
Speaker 1: one on the machine, Like, is it the only one
Speaker 1: on the karaoke machine? Or is Mabel just acting like
Speaker 1: this is the only song.
Speaker 2: I think it's the only one on this well, so
Speaker 2: Bluffs and Darland we're doing a rap song on the
Speaker 2: rappers rap.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember this, but back in
Speaker 3: the day you had to put a CD in and
Speaker 3: sometimes the CD had one song on it. Mm hmmm, yeah,
Speaker 3: So I think she just put the the only karaoke.
Speaker 3: It's like it has the track with no words and
Speaker 3: the track with words, and that's me. It's the only
Speaker 3: song on it that was.
Speaker 2: So much fun.
Speaker 4: Oh beautiful.
Speaker 2: Next we have here, girls do what we like.
Speaker 17: Our next attempt was in The Girls Just Want to
Speaker 17: Have Fun Fade, and it's closer to the final version,
Speaker 17: except with me a Jeff's bad impressions of the characters,
Speaker 17: an off key singing.
Speaker 1: Mabel, our lives.
Speaker 18: May not be worth this, righty night, and we're gonna
Speaker 18: party till dawn.
Speaker 1: Don't worry, daddy, I've got my favorite dress on.
Speaker 18: Mabel.
Speaker 2: This is stupid.
Speaker 1: Roll into the party. The boys are looking our way.
Speaker 1: We just keep dancing.
Speaker 11: We don't care.
Speaker 1: What they say. And all the boys in.
Speaker 2: This place are getting up in my face.
Speaker 10: Everybody, boys are a bore.
Speaker 1: Let's show them the door.
Speaker 2: We're taking over the dance floor.
Speaker 1: Girl, do what we like.
Speaker 2: We're taking over to night. Oh, girls, do what we like.
Speaker 4: We're taking over to night.
Speaker 20: We're queen this.
Speaker 2: Oh man, we sound terrible. We sound terrible together.
Speaker 9: Oh girls do we like?
Speaker 13: Oh we're taking over tune night, taken over, tonduck.
Speaker 2: You deal with the tobby idiots times tis times times.
Speaker 2: So that had the same uh, lyrical difference as in
Speaker 2: the soundtrack version, where it's you know.
Speaker 3: The in this place?
Speaker 1: That's true, yes, And it sounds so it sounds like
Speaker 1: Matt and Jeff are singing over a pre recorded demo
Speaker 1: vocal track of Brad Breeck singing. And I think what
Speaker 1: might have happened is that Brad laid down this vocal
Speaker 1: track as a concept of the melody, because the chorus
Speaker 1: melody is the same as what we now know is
Speaker 1: the song. And then Matt and Jeff just made lyrics
Speaker 1: on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you listen really closely, you can't really make
Speaker 2: them out, but there are different lyrics. He's not singing
Speaker 2: the same lyrics as them, so right, I mean.
Speaker 1: They're just they're generic lyrics to fill the melody, and
Speaker 1: I think Matt it was more like this is the
Speaker 1: melody that here's an idea for a melody you could use.
Speaker 1: And also there are a lot of specific sound effects
Speaker 1: and sort of action noises that suggest specific visuals, so
Speaker 1: I have to assume that this version of the song
Speaker 1: was timed out to an animatic or some kind of visual.
Speaker 2: As well as there's some actual Kristin Shawl and Alex.
Speaker 1: From the Yeah, so this probably was much later in
Speaker 1: the production.
Speaker 2: And then for Sock Opera he writes early Sock Opera
Speaker 2: demos coloss to the final version, just longer. It's a
Speaker 2: different lyrics, a two dude singing badly.
Speaker 7: In a time before time, there was a different time
Speaker 7: it is this time. It is Mabel time.
Speaker 2: Look it's Mabel. Did you say stable, No?
Speaker 1: He said, Mabel?
Speaker 2: Okay, hit it boys.
Speaker 18: Who's that girl with the pig and the braces? One
Speaker 18: hundred sweaters all in your faces? She gets a thumbs
Speaker 18: up from the sun. She's so smart.
Speaker 1: She makes dolphins look dumb when she's.
Speaker 18: Around your never board.
Speaker 2: I'm a mayor and here's an award. Let's almost kick
Speaker 2: a town there at the end.
Speaker 1: I mean that's what I was expecting.
Speaker 2: Yes, horrible, who.
Speaker 1: A word.
Speaker 2: Oh I I'm having the time of my life with this.
Speaker 2: This is amazing. I can't believe we get to distribute this.
Speaker 2: This is I'm sorry, this is like I will freaking
Speaker 2: out a little bit. Thank you, Mayor It's true.
Speaker 5: I'm great.
Speaker 1: But the perfect girl, he's the perfect man.
Speaker 2: That is homestar music. That is just straight up home star.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think I would. I would you
Speaker 1: agree that the sock opera song is the home starist
Speaker 1: gravity Falls.
Speaker 2: I mean it changed the least for sure out of
Speaker 2: all of these demos. But I miss no he said Mabel, Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: Jeff Row being like, oh like yeah, oh got it
Speaker 2: all right? Yeah sorry perfect, Yeah you said stable.
Speaker 1: Sorry. So yeah, that's the unreleased, the previously unreleased.
Speaker 2: Now released.
Speaker 3: Yeah now nome now no fully gnome now.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: If you have auditory processing issues and missed any of that,
Speaker 2: go to that gfan on YouTube. On the same day
Speaker 2: those podcast was posted. There should be a video with
Speaker 2: lyrics to all of those demos.
Speaker 1: Earlier this year in twenty twenty four. Of course, soundtrack
Speaker 1: released on Spotify and other digital platforms. We covered that
Speaker 1: it's just verbatim the vinyl tracks just as they are,
Speaker 1: just in digital form. So now Brad Brieck can get
Speaker 1: like a fraction of a penny every time you listen
Speaker 1: to it. Then, on July twenty sixth of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: Low Fi gravity Falls was released with twelve low Fi remixes.
Speaker 1: For those not in the no Lofi is basically a
Speaker 1: down tempo, chill subgenre of hip hop, and they're all
Speaker 1: remixes of tracks from the soundtrack. Why don't we just
Speaker 1: alternate saying these.
Speaker 2: Gravity Falls main title theme and.
Speaker 4: We've got Let's rewind and then we've got fiddle for
Speaker 4: Hendra and mcguckan.
Speaker 3: Fourth, we have Let's do this.
Speaker 2: Then we have the Stan Wrong song, which is a
Speaker 2: hilarious choice for a low five.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, just stand I was run, although the
Speaker 1: vocals aren't there I should specify, but it is the
Speaker 1: melody there. Yeah, track six we have taken over to Night.
Speaker 4: For track seven, we've got Gideon's theme.
Speaker 3: Eighth, we have Gideon Rises and credits.
Speaker 2: Ninth we have Weirdmageddon Part one b outro track.
Speaker 1: Ten is Weird mcgeddon Part one A.
Speaker 4: Then for track eleven, We've got Weird mcgeddon Part four
Speaker 4: end credits, which is my personal favorite song in the
Speaker 4: entire release.
Speaker 3: And finally we have who, and finally we have the
Speaker 3: saying goodbye to Gravity Falls.
Speaker 2: I love the reverse order of those. I don't know,
Speaker 2: it just kind of makes it like go out on
Speaker 2: this kind of bittersweet note instead of on the When
Speaker 2: Shelby and I were listening through the soundtrack, we said, like,
Speaker 2: the Weird we getting end credits is like just much
Speaker 2: more upbeat than Gravity Falls music normally is like you
Speaker 2: got the eighties synth for Mabel, But it's just such
Speaker 2: an optimistic sounding song, and there's always kind of this
Speaker 2: looming mystery in the rest of the soundtrack.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I guess, you know, give it all
Speaker 1: the lo fi treatment. It kind of tone changes anyway,
Speaker 1: So it's an interesting choice.
Speaker 2: Are you into Are you guys into lo fi? Personally,
Speaker 2: the rap beats get my heart beating with them, and
Speaker 2: I get more excited instead of chill down, So I
Speaker 2: can't use them to relax.
Speaker 1: I can't use them to relax, chill or study too.
Speaker 2: I could study too, that's true.
Speaker 3: I do like them to study too, Yeah, or deep
Speaker 3: dive into gravity falls too.
Speaker 1: They do what they're designed to do. You know, you
Speaker 1: have them while drawing or what have you.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The cover of the album, as well as the
Speaker 1: animation of the Disney Channel video, is Mabel drawing Kraz
Speaker 1: with the sleeping wattles by the window. This was drawn
Speaker 1: by Emmy Cisiriga and animated by Malboo animation of Baman
Speaker 1: plider Man Fame.
Speaker 2: He comes over the house.
Speaker 1: For sure, they are best friends.
Speaker 2: That's specifically on the on the YouTube version. The album
Speaker 2: cover is not animated on.
Speaker 1: iTunes, No, that would be mad. This is all, of course,
Speaker 1: an homage to Lo Fi Girl, a famous YouTube channel
Speaker 1: with twenty four to seven lo fi streams. Mabel, in
Speaker 1: fact is even dressed like the titular mascot. My favorite
Speaker 1: part of this art is the drawing on the wall
Speaker 1: labeled chartreuse Seuss, which is what it sounds like. It's
Speaker 1: a drawing of Suss in Charkreuse. I do love that.
Speaker 3: That's a really nice tidbit. It's beautiful.
Speaker 2: What color is chartruse?
Speaker 1: I always forget it's not really a color, it's more
Speaker 1: of a state of marn Yeah, now that's correct.
Speaker 2: These particular lo fi remixes were done by Cooper Babs
Speaker 2: and Brian Parkhurst. They're really good. We should probably play
Speaker 2: a couple of snippets, but you should go check it
Speaker 2: out yourself on YouTube or iTunes.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they're amazing.
Speaker 1: You can check it out on the Disney Channel YouTube
Speaker 1: because on August sixteenth, twenty twenty four, they posted a compilation.
Speaker 2: Video animated Pith Batman, pider Man person that's not Steeple
Speaker 2: even so, there's a little visual gags happening periodically, so I.
Speaker 1: Feel like it's just expected of anything gravity falls related
Speaker 1: at this point, that the that there would be, Yeah.
Speaker 2: For sure. There's the kids balloon floating by, as well
Speaker 2: as a UFO abducting Octavia.
Speaker 1: The cow just a deep cut.
Speaker 4: That was one of the first shorts to actually watch
Speaker 4: as well, so.
Speaker 3: You would have gotten the reference even if you hadn't
Speaker 3: seen the whole thing.
Speaker 2: You would have been like, I don't know who most
Speaker 2: of these things are or these songs, but that cow,
Speaker 2: I remember Octavia. You would have that cow.
Speaker 1: You would have watched the other episodes have been like, well,
Speaker 1: where's Emmett and Deshaun? They're my favorite HENCHK.
Speaker 2: People would be like, have you watched gravity Falls? At
Speaker 2: HK would be like the Octavia Show, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: There are times where the sky turns totally red a
Speaker 1: weird mgeddon and other times the colors of the scene
Speaker 1: are inverted and a bunch of bill eyes pop up
Speaker 1: on the window. But you know, it doesn't really feel
Speaker 1: right to talk about that kind of thing. No, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: No, No, for sure, for sure Bill you know you
Speaker 2: know him. He knows lots of things, and we're not
Speaker 2: allowed to talk about most of those things.
Speaker 1: Right here, specifically, shoot, Shelby, do you have the key
Speaker 1: to the to the other other place? Did I give
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 3: So I actually retooled the entryways. So we're gonna have
Speaker 3: to go over and hit these books on the bookshelf
Speaker 3: in specific orders.
Speaker 1: Okay, so do you remember the order? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, HK. If you could hit the one on the
Speaker 3: bottom left, that Charlie top right, middle, the red book, yeah, Ella, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: this green book here in the center third shelf, I.
Speaker 1: Got it, the red one. Wait, no, sorry, I'm more
Speaker 1: color blind. Sorry I type the green one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just gonna pick up the rug and go
Speaker 3: down Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 9: Conspiracy.
Speaker 1: This is a nice three tooling of the entrance.
Speaker 12: I like that.
Speaker 2: It still breaks me every time when I hear that
Speaker 2: we got Alex to do that.
Speaker 1: Yes, oh yes, that's really cool that you got it
Speaker 1: to play when you lifted up the rug.
Speaker 3: I mean that was part of it. I added speakers
Speaker 3: to downstairs so it rises up from the floor.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 2: Kind of like a big mouth billy bass type situation.
Speaker 1: Too soon in two years? Yeah, yeah, I haven't processed
Speaker 1: it yet.
Speaker 2: Where does it say disclaimer? Any and all hidden messages
Speaker 2: in this record are purely in your imagination.
Speaker 1: That I'd be writing the liner notes.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 1: And there's a page that has sort of the bill
Speaker 1: cipher image that flashes with the zodiac wheel in the
Speaker 1: theme song, and on that page is Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: guess in that case, we don't really have to talk
Speaker 1: about any of this stuff rank because it's not Ella
Speaker 1: Ella Ella.
Speaker 2: We talked about Lebem.
Speaker 3: You did talk about Lebem.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, you make a good point.
Speaker 2: Whether it exists or not, is clearly not a component
Speaker 2: of the all conspiracy.
Speaker 1: We are kind of quantum down here, so well, I
Speaker 1: guess we could talk about the backwards messages hidden in
Speaker 1: the vinyl that we sort of alluded to earlier.
Speaker 2: Which we will reverse for you.
Speaker 1: In fact, the first one follows Gideon's theme backwards message plays,
Speaker 1: in which Seuss says, which played backwards, is in your.
Speaker 2: Record backwards is a great white of damage your record player.
Speaker 2: Following Fiddleford hadrawn ma Gucket, Alex Hirsch says, rushing your
Speaker 2: way out here for three mates, which played backwards.
Speaker 6: Is jam your thumbs directly into your eyes for a
Speaker 6: free fireworks show.
Speaker 2: Which is wild that he let they let him say that,
Speaker 2: I mean, even reversed in an official Disney release. I mean,
Speaker 2: I guess he's just talking about holding, like putting pressure
Speaker 2: on your eyes, not like actually doing any damage. But
Speaker 2: the word jam is I don't know.
Speaker 3: My eye doctor told me not to do that anymore
Speaker 3: at worsens my stigmatism.
Speaker 4: The last message is following Weird McGain in part one,
Speaker 4: sweet as Stand says, which played backwards is.
Speaker 17: Apparently if you play this record alongside Wizard of Oz,
Speaker 17: it matches up perfectly.
Speaker 2: Which is of course a reference to the Dark Side
Speaker 2: of the Rainbow. Which is that Apparently, if you play
Speaker 2: Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon at the same
Speaker 2: time as The Wizard of Oz, the visuals match up perfectly.
Speaker 2: I watched it. By the way, I sniffed this one
Speaker 2: out for you guys. It's okay. It's honestly not the
Speaker 2: best coincidental matching visuals I've ever seen. Of course, Blart
Speaker 2: Side of the Mall is better. Yeah, okay, But there
Speaker 2: is one amazing part where when they go black white
Speaker 2: and which is which? When they say black, they show
Speaker 2: the Wicked Witch of the West, and when they say white,
Speaker 2: they show Glinda, And then when they say which is which,
Speaker 2: both are on screen exactly. You know this was not intentional.
Speaker 2: They were not watching The Rezard of Oz while they
Speaker 2: were recording this album. They were in fact watching Mary
Speaker 2: Poppins True Story. But the angry video game Nerd review
Speaker 2: of Wizard of Oz for the Supernadendo is in fact, written, directed,
Speaker 2: and edited to sync up perfectly with Dark Side of
Speaker 2: the Moon.
Speaker 1: Amazing. I love that.
Speaker 2: You know what we should do with the Discord server?
Speaker 2: What let's sink up the gravity falls soundtrack with Wizard
Speaker 2: of Oz and see if there's any serendipitous moments. Yes,
Speaker 2: what are we gonna call it? It needs a because
Speaker 2: we have we have Blart side of the mall, we
Speaker 2: have dark side of the Rainbow. What are we calling this?
Speaker 3: Rainbow Eden, somewhere over the.
Speaker 1: Falls, somewhere the falls, Invisible Wizard of Us somewhere. I
Speaker 1: was going to say, somewhere over the rainbow bar.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 3: No, I like Invisible Wizard of Oz. That's so good.
Speaker 1: I think my favorite secret within the vinyl is this
Speaker 1: one here, which is that So the vinyls are advertised
Speaker 1: as being in decoder red, they're this like translucent kind
Speaker 1: of and they are that way because there are secret
Speaker 1: messages in the slip covers. There's a lot of red
Speaker 1: sort of squiggles or lines that cover up these messages.
Speaker 2: I loved Ovaltine as a kid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was gonna say.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty much that. It's sort of that era
Speaker 1: of decoding where there would be a message written in
Speaker 1: blue ink covered up by a lot of red inks.
Speaker 1: Your eye doesn't really see it, and then you put
Speaker 1: a piece of red translucent you know, plastic or whatever
Speaker 1: to it. Like a lens and it filters out that
Speaker 1: red light and allows you to just see the blue message. So, Charlie,
Speaker 1: you want to read dippers?
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, Dipper says disco girl or disco girl? Did
Speaker 2: you want to speak it or say I'm sorry?
Speaker 1: Hey no shame, no shame? Dipper, yes, sing it?
Speaker 2: Uh, disco girl coming through? That girl is you?
Speaker 3: Mabel says, who's that girl with the pig and the braces?
Speaker 3: She puts smiles on everyone's faces.
Speaker 1: Uh, Giruncle stands says I'm Stan and I was wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm singing the sand wrong song.
Speaker 4: So Bill says aeny meany miney you, and also shows
Speaker 4: the zodiac symbols surrounding him.
Speaker 1: So obviously Bill's is not quote from a song, but notably,
Speaker 1: Dippers is a quote from a song that is not
Speaker 1: on the album for reasons we stand.
Speaker 3: But I do like that all the characters are singing
Speaker 3: besides Bill Sands bell sans is Bill sans undertail. Yes,
Speaker 3: that explains a lot, but not only does the vinyl
Speaker 3: app secrets, but so does the low fi album. A
Speaker 3: lot of this is just directly quoted via the wiki,
Speaker 3: but at about one minute forty seconds into Gideon's theme,
Speaker 3: you can hear morse code, which, when decoded says free.
Speaker 2: Me, no, no, do it Ella, Come on, people have
Speaker 2: waited this long for an episode.
Speaker 5: Do it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I don't. I don't think it's Gideon.
Speaker 3: I want to hear it as Gideon so badly, though.
Speaker 1: I think I think Gideon should do the morse code too.
Speaker 1: Then yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yeah. At about one
Speaker 1: minute forty seconds into Gideon's theme, morse code can be heard,
Speaker 1: which I will read out as Gideon, of course, did
Speaker 1: did da did did do?
Speaker 7: Did?
Speaker 1: Did did da da? Which one de coded says free me.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna need uh a low fi tape of just
Speaker 2: as Gideon reading to me in morse code.
Speaker 1: That's right there, I do it. App In minute rock
Speaker 1: at no.
Speaker 2: Data no no, at about uh forty two uh. At
Speaker 2: about two minutes forty two seconds into Weird Mageddon Part one,
Speaker 2: a morse code could be heard.
Speaker 1: We don't. We can just play that one. We don't
Speaker 1: have to read it out.
Speaker 2: When de coded, this says remember you.
Speaker 3: Clinting yeah, And those two codes are also hidden text
Speaker 3: in the spectrograms of those respective songs.
Speaker 4: The description of the Disney Channel compilation video then states
Speaker 4: return to Gravity Falls with the low fi album. It's
Speaker 4: the perfect background music for unwinding studying, investigating the supernatural
Speaker 4: mysteries of this dimension. And in several of the words,
Speaker 4: if you noticed, are capitalized and they spell out free may.
Speaker 2: So both of these, well what are they alluding to?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: That'll be the next episode.
Speaker 1: I actually have an envelope grade here I meant to open.
Speaker 1: That was also pretty ominous.
Speaker 3: Oh, I love it when you get mail Ella, Well.
Speaker 1: Actually it's addressed to all of us. What it will?
Speaker 1: Just open her up? I'll just start Yeah, So Shelby,
Speaker 1: you want to take the second paragraph, and then I'll
Speaker 1: take the third month.
Speaker 2: Hi Ella, Charlie and Shelby.
Speaker 1: Hi. Hi.
Speaker 2: My name is Harlowe and I am a huge fan
Speaker 2: of your podcast. I was a kid when Gravity Falls
Speaker 2: was airing, and my older brother and older sister would
Speaker 2: be allowed to watch it in the other room without
Speaker 2: me because I was too young, and it drove me
Speaker 2: up the wall. A few years later, a bit after
Speaker 2: it had ended, I was allowed to watch it. And
Speaker 2: when I tell you, I got so obsessed. Gravity Falls
Speaker 2: was like my life as a kid. I had a
Speaker 2: whole shrine dedicated to it. In my shared room with
Speaker 2: my brother. I got to read all the books over
Speaker 2: and over again. I've seen the show in total about
Speaker 2: eleven ish times. I used to have my grandpa record
Speaker 2: episodes on his cable TV for whenever I would come
Speaker 2: and visit him. It was insane, like I was so
Speaker 2: abnormal about this show. It was crazy and as a kid,
Speaker 2: all you want is more and more and more, and
Speaker 2: so I would watch countless theory videos about how gravity
Speaker 2: Falls was coming back, and Gravity Falls season three and
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen YadA YadA, and I believed all of it.
Speaker 2: But anyway, the first real Gravity Falls experience I had
Speaker 2: in like present time was when the Lost Legends comic
Speaker 2: came out. That's the same with HK, and I got
Speaker 2: to be a part of the theorizing and code cracking
Speaker 2: and everything else with everyone else in the community. It
Speaker 2: was so awesome. But then alas, no more gravity Falls
Speaker 2: content for who knows how long after that until now,
Speaker 2: and so I kind of slowly got out of my
Speaker 2: Gravity Falls fandom.
Speaker 3: Eventually, a while later, I randomly got recommended your podcast
Speaker 3: on my Spotify feet and I was like, oh, I
Speaker 3: like gravity falls, what's this And I just listened to
Speaker 3: like a snippet of the first episode and I was like, Yo, wait,
Speaker 3: this is actually really cool, And so I became addicted
Speaker 3: to your podcast.
Speaker 1: Oh go.
Speaker 3: I think I started listening around the Weird mcgeddon episode,
Speaker 3: and I was stoked when you had an Alex Hirsh episode.
Speaker 3: I've listened to your Cipher Hunt episode all the way
Speaker 3: through like five times. It's such a good eating I
Speaker 3: used to listen to all the episodes while I would draw,
Speaker 3: and it was some of my favorite background noise because
Speaker 3: one of the main things I was sad I missed
Speaker 3: out on was truly being involved in the fandom at
Speaker 3: the time that it was all happening. Like, sure, I
Speaker 3: can go and surf through all the forums and posts
Speaker 3: I have, but it's not the same. But you guys
Speaker 3: just totally solved that and made such a well documented
Speaker 3: and thought through compendium of everything, and it just expanded
Speaker 3: my gravity falls knowledge so much. You guys are so
Speaker 3: funny and so personal, and there are just so many
Speaker 3: things that I quote that you guys say, Like anytime
Speaker 3: someone says the thing I always say in my head
Speaker 3: or out loud. The nineteen eighty two John Carpenter film,
Speaker 3: and I just enjoyed getting to know you guys through
Speaker 3: your podcast.
Speaker 1: I hope you say it out loud more often than not.
Speaker 1: That's the right way to do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, if it doesn't bring me an entire conversation
Speaker 2: to a halt, listen as the resident CEO of interrupting
Speaker 2: people by saying a nineteen eighty two John Carpenter film.
Speaker 2: If it doesn't drag the conversation to a halt and
Speaker 2: make the energy really weird for a few seconds, you're
Speaker 2: doing it wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, Ella, I really loved learning about the trans
Speaker 1: experience through all your stories, and I love your art. Oh,
Speaker 1: thank you. Love that one trans comic you made. I
Speaker 1: think on your birthday. It's very cute. I think you're
Speaker 1: referring to a comic I made about my birthday, which
Speaker 1: is in this big sort of anthology of transcomics called
Speaker 1: When I Was Me, which we can link in the description.
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. Highly recommend it if it's still available. I'm
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent sure. I'm straight and assist gender female,
Speaker 1: but my best friend is non binary, and there's a
Speaker 1: trans boy at my school who I may or may
Speaker 1: not have a teeny tiny crush on but I'll never tell. Well, Harlow,
Speaker 1: now the whole world knows you're welcome, and so getting
Speaker 1: to learn about TRANSI identity and just so many things
Speaker 1: I would never know about is super awesome and I
Speaker 1: love getting to learn that stuff. I think gender expression
Speaker 1: and sexuality is super duper interesting, and I wish it
Speaker 1: wasn't as taboo to discuss because I just want to
Speaker 1: ask questions and learn everything that I can live in
Speaker 1: a household that isn't against but also again a slightly
Speaker 1: taboo with that kind of stuff, so I can't really
Speaker 1: get books about it or learn and the means I
Speaker 1: would like to. So your stories are super helpful and educational.
Speaker 1: I'm really really glad to hear that. Thank you for
Speaker 1: saying that.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Again, what I was mainly writing this email for
Speaker 2: now specifically, is the Book of Bill is out, and
Speaker 2: I was wondering if you guys were going to cover
Speaker 2: an episode on it. I'm writing this now because I've
Speaker 2: always had so much to say and I always wanted
Speaker 2: the chance to be featured in an episode. It's totally
Speaker 2: fine if I'm not, but you know, a girl can
Speaker 2: dream yeah, you won't be Yeah, dream on kid. I
Speaker 2: got my copy and a few days ago, and I'm
Speaker 2: currently reading and trying to decode things along the way.
Speaker 2: I've been having a blast. This book is wild, and
Speaker 2: I would love to hear all the things you guys
Speaker 2: have found and have to say about it.
Speaker 1: Sorry, this email got so long again. I just had
Speaker 1: so many things to say. I love your podcast so
Speaker 1: so much, and I hope you guys are all doing well.
Speaker 1: Have a great day, and thanks for taking the time
Speaker 1: to read all of this with Harlow. Thank you very
Speaker 1: much Arloe for sending that so it's it seems the
Speaker 1: question of the ac ues. I guess there's something called
Speaker 1: the Book of Bill. I don't. I don't know what
Speaker 1: that is, never heard of it. I guess we should
Speaker 1: apparently we should talk about it. I just feel I
Speaker 1: don't know. I feel underqualified, you know, I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't really feel like I have the authority to
Speaker 1: to really speak on it. Do we know anyone who does?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 2: Are you asking if we know the Bill Cipher?
Speaker 15: I guess fundamentally, like I guess, nothing summoning a demon
Speaker 15: can't fix in my experience, which is to say, the
Speaker 15: next episode of our podcast, Mister Shack look Back number
Speaker 15: fifty four, Book of Bill will guest star Bill Ceipher himself,
Speaker 15: Alex Hirsh and Alex Hirsh himself, Bill Ceipher.
Speaker 2: I always love to return to a podcast.
Speaker 17: I feel great in front of a microphone, a touch
Speaker 17: too an adopter, or touch to a laptop with audactity.
Speaker 2: More on that later, as they say, thank you so much.
Speaker 2: HK also known as that GF fan for joining us today.
Speaker 2: I know, you know, our brands have kind of been
Speaker 2: intertwined for a bit, so it was wonderful having you
Speaker 2: on to talk about your area of expertise. If the
Speaker 2: people want to find you, what have you got going
Speaker 2: on and where? Oh, thank you so much, Thank you
Speaker 2: so much.
Speaker 4: It was really great to be part of this. Like,
Speaker 4: like I said, like the podcast has been something I've
Speaker 4: followed along for a while now and I'm really happy
Speaker 4: to see it come back, and I'm glad to have
Speaker 4: been part of this for the first episode back.
Speaker 1: So long we have passed parallel to each other like
Speaker 1: ships in the night, but now we collide like a
Speaker 1: deadly shipwreck in the middle of the ocean.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, I was like, I'm really glad to
Speaker 4: have been part of this. I'm glad I could help
Speaker 4: share anything that I knew here to help the podcast.
Speaker 4: Like in terms of explaining things that happened throughout this
Speaker 4: whole crazy to release of the Vinyl Life, thank you
Speaker 4: so much, no problem, I think at the end of
Speaker 4: the day, like despite the craziness of just how the
Speaker 4: release happened, like, I'm glad we ended up getting it
Speaker 4: and it's finally over and we can just get to
Speaker 4: enjoying all the songs that I created. But yeah, in
Speaker 4: terms of what I'm up to next, I got a
Speaker 4: couple of more projects in the works. I recently released
Speaker 4: a video about more obscure references and e stikes to
Speaker 4: Gravity Falls and lesser known media. A video on how
Speaker 4: some good friends of mine managed to find the actual
Speaker 4: image used in the Gravity Falls logo through some next
Speaker 4: level geo guessing and Internet saluting, which was funny enough,
Speaker 4: originally going to be a video about how the search
Speaker 4: was for that logo image and what our best leads
Speaker 4: at the time were. But then, but then shadow to
Speaker 4: my buddy Trick and GF, he managed to find the
Speaker 4: image on a texture site of all places, and also
Speaker 4: shout out to my friends Alex m and Fried Orios,
Speaker 4: who then with his help, were able to find the
Speaker 4: location of the image, which was in a small French
Speaker 4: town in the Pyrenees mountain range, which is pretty cool.
Speaker 4: And the image it self dates back to two thousand
Speaker 4: and seven, which is just incredible, which is just I'm
Speaker 4: amazed at how they were able to do that. It
Speaker 4: was just amazing to see all that happen. So there's
Speaker 4: that video, and I also have a upcoming video. It's
Speaker 4: a bit of a top secret project, but it's an
Speaker 4: interview I had with a pretty well known member of
Speaker 4: the Gravity Falls art community. We're still working things out
Speaker 4: on that end, but we hope to have the video
Speaker 4: out soon and I'm really excited about that interview. It's
Speaker 4: amazing look into a great member of the fandom who
Speaker 4: created some amazing art that we all enjoy. And that's
Speaker 4: gonna be really fun to talk about when that happens.
Speaker 1: See, that's what I love particularly about your work and
Speaker 1: your content is that you get really into the granular
Speaker 1: stuff that people would otherwise take for granted. But there's
Speaker 1: like always with a show like Gravity Falls, with so
Speaker 1: many details there's always something interesting about every little aspect,
Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 2: Right, because it's not just a show Alex Hirsch made
Speaker 2: to mess with us. There's a whole team of people
Speaker 2: and like, not every person on the Gravity Falls crew
Speaker 2: knows all information about Gravity Falls. Yeah, exactly, people on
Speaker 2: the crew that just were too busy or whatever to
Speaker 2: have heard the demos that we just leaked, which you're
Speaker 2: also going to be sharing on your YouTube with lyrics on,
Speaker 2: which will be out now well the same day as
Speaker 2: this video, so go check that out.
Speaker 4: That's the thing I love about Arriety Falls in terms
Speaker 4: of like this more niche aspect of information because like,
Speaker 4: of course everybody talks about the codes and you know,
Speaker 4: the theories about Bill and what's going on there. But
Speaker 4: it's these more lesser talked about aspects of the show
Speaker 4: that I feel are where the great stories are still
Speaker 4: to be told and that's what I love. Like, for example,
Speaker 4: the recent one with the buffalo, like that whole story
Speaker 4: was quite an interesting. Yes, thank you, I'm still surprised
Speaker 4: that all the rabbit hole that was.

Speaker 2: director named Shelby Secler. I am working on an entire
Speaker 2: audio book of the Book of Bill that's gonna take
Speaker 2: I don't know, probably like an eternity.

Speaker 3: it'll take half an eternity, but I'm banking on one attorney.
Speaker 2: My current estimate is a year, but I have a
Speaker 2: couple of previews of that up. I also have a
Speaker 2: stupid little passion project that is not gonna ever make headlines,
Speaker 2: but is the quickest way to get to know me
Speaker 2: as a person. It is called Well a Me Princess,
Speaker 2: and as the title implies, it is an abridged series
Speaker 2: of the Zelda cartoon and it is also an act
Speaker 2: of gender expression. I voice the they them non binary
Speaker 2: link and the transfem Zelda of my first female role,
Speaker 2: which I was super nervous about. Ella helps write it.
