The Hello and welcome to another edition of Turned Out of Punk.

I'm your host, Damian Abraham, and today on the show from Soundgarden, the rock and roll

Hall of Famer, Kim Thiel, is on the show from Soundgarden, the rock and roll hall of famer, Kim Thile is on the podcast.

And believe me, I'm excited for you to hear this interview because my gosh, like, you know, you have expectations about someone built up over the years from seeing them in interview contexts and, you know,

just see how they carry themselves and stuff. And you hope it's going to be like that when

you finally get to meet them. And Kim exceeds that. Like he is someone who I thought was going to be

cool. And oh my God, I'm excited for you to hear this one second on that because we are going

to talk first about why Kim is here.

Kim has a brand new autobiography that he has written with the help of his good friend, Adam Teppadellan.

And thank you to Adam for getting Kim on the show because I know Adam played a huge part in making this happen.

This is a fantastic book.

It really does feel like Kim is just telling you the story.

And this book for me, and if you're a fan of this podcast, hopefully for you, is like the Rosetta Stone for understanding, Soundgarden's place in in music in this world.

And for me at least, this is the book that really, you know, puts it in bold writing right there as we talk about in the show.

I'm not going to spoil everything we talk about in the show.

But it says that Soundgarden was a punk band and Kim considered them a punk band. And anyway, we talk about this the show, but it says that Soundgarten was a punk band,

and Kim considered them a punk band, and anyway, we talk about this in a second,

but I'm excited for you to read this book. I'm excited for you to hear this conversation.

But first, a note, how dare Kim and I doubt that Jello would lack the foresight

to think that putting a Boyd Rice song

on Let Them All Eat Jelly Beans was a, or let them eat jelly beans, sorry, comp was a bad
