While Bad Religion is one of jamilah's favorite bands (obviously); Jay Bentley is one of her biggest bass inspirations. Listening to the songs as a whole is one thing, but listening to what the bass actually does in the songs is another- and Paul Hodgert, fellow bass player (and old school BR 'true' (aka bigger fan of the earlier parts of the catalog)) spent some time with her to talk about their favorite Jay (and Paul Dedona) moments, as well as what makes Jay Bentley such a crucial part of the experience.

The list isn't complete (again, obviously), and they realized after the fact the number of songs they missed. They also talk about Mel Brooks and satire, Black Sabbath, jazz' connection to punk, and more.

Other songs in this episode:

-Paul Hodgert, Flat Earth Pilot (Paul Is Dead, 2024)
-Paul Hodgert, I'm So Tired (Paul Is Dead, 2024)
-Joan Jett & Greg Graffin- Let's Do It (Laguna Tunes, 2000)

Thanks for listening!
