013 - 'Subterranean Jungle' Side A Deep Dive
<p>Hey kids! Welcome to another Deep Dive episode of CJ Says: A Ramones Podcast.</p><br><p>This week, we explore the bizarre world of the Ramones' seventh studio album, Subterranean Jungle—a record that divides fans as much today as it did back in 1983.</p><br><p>An unexpected pair of cover songs kick things off, and the production is notably more ‘experimental’ than anything the band had attempted to date, which begs the question: were the Ramones consciously evolving their sound... or simply fighting to survive as the musical landscape of the early '80s drifted further and further away from the proto-punk, glam, and bubblegum pop sounds that shaped them?</p><br><p>Here, we pick apart the songs, the sound, the stories, and the circumstances that produced one of the most divisive records in the Ramones' back catalogue. From the undeniable punch of Psycho Therapy to the left-field cover songs, uneven songwriting, and alienating production decisions that continue to baffle and bemuse longtime fans, nothing escapes the microscope.</p><br><p>Subterranean Jungle may never top anyone's list of favourite Ramones records—you'd be mad to call it their finest hour—but sometimes the most illuminating insights are found in the albums that refuse to fit neatly into the band’s wider discography.</p><br><p>So grab your leather jacket, drop the needle on Side A, and join us as we venture down one of the Ramones' most intriguing and confusing musical rabbit holes.</p><br><p>To stream our Side B Deep Dive and unlock the rest of our exclusive bonus content, head over to www.patreon.com/cjsays</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

012 - Nikki Corvette Interview
<p>This week on CJ Says, we sit down with one of the true originals of American punk rock 'n' roll. Nikki Corvette is a singer, songwriter, and unapologetic rock and roller whose story begins—much like proto-punk pioneers The Stooges and MC5—in the Motor City of Detroit.</p><br><p>Emerging from a scene that prized attitude and authenticity, Nikki quietly embodies both. Equal parts primitive punk rock and infectious girl-group pop, her music proves you don't need to scream and shout to be tough. Long before female voices were finally given the musical recognition they deserved during the '90s Riot Grrrl movement, Nikki was writing the kind of short, sharp, hooky songs the Ramones instinctively recognised as the beating heart of American rock 'n' roll, which is exactly why they embraced her as one of their own.</p><br><p>In this conversation, we talk Detroit, the Ramones, songwriting, stepping away from music, and returning decades later with newfound purpose and perspective. More than a look back at Nikki's remarkable career, this is a celebration of persistence, individuality, and the artists who quietly shape musical history while everyone else is busy trying to define it.</p><br><p>To stream the second half of this amazing interview and access the rest of our exclusive bonus content, head over to www.patreon.com/cjsays -</p><br><p>Be sure to steam and support Nikki's music too, and follow her on social media for tour updates & more info! @nikkicorvette</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

011 - 'Pleasant Dreams' Side A Deep Dive
<p>Hey kids! Welcome to Episode 011 of CJ Says: A Ramones Podcast.</p><br><p>This week, we drop the needle on the Ramones' sixth studio album, Pleasant Dreams, which might just be the most underrated record of their entire career.</p><br><p>Before we begin, a huge thank you to everyone who’s already subscribed to the show over on Patreon. Your enthusiasm, support, and belief in this little corner of the Ramones universe continues to inspire us every single week. This podcast simply would not be gathering the momentum it has without you. So, thank you!</p><br><p>As for Pleasant Dreams... it's an LP that’s spent decades living in the long shadow cast by the records that came before it. Too polished for some. Not punk enough for others. Yet hidden beneath surface of the album’s glossy production lies a collection of pop punk classics that still carry the unmistakable DNA of the Ramones.</p><br><p>Come with us now as we dissect an album that deserves another listen, another conversation, and maybe—just maybe—a little reevaluation…</p><br><p>What are your favourite moments from Pleasant Dreams? Which tracks hit the right marks for you? And for all those flipping the record with us over on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/cjsays," rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.patreon.com/cjsays,</a> does Side B continue the momentum set by Side A?</p><br><p>More importantly, where does Pleasant Dreams sit alongside the Ramones albums we’ve explored so far?</p><br><p>Let's drop the needle and find out!!</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
