Hello There

WEBVTT
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:19.039
We can't deny that uh Geronimo objectively as a pop song isn't bad.
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:20.480
Overplayed, yes.
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.000
As a song, not bad.
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:24.559
Can you hear that washing machine on the fritz?
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:25.519
That's my brain.
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:27.839
Yeah, it's been your brain for years, son.
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.079
That's that's why I've got to be on the podcast.
00:00:30.399 --> 00:00:33.840
Max just said Geronimo isn't a bad pop song.
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:34.320
It's not.
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:36.479
As a purely pop song thing, it's not bad.
00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:39.200
If I had to listen to that on a desert island for the rest of my life.
00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:40.240
Yeah, well, yeah, of course.
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:41.840
If you had to listen to it for the rest of your life.
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:42.880
With rocks in my pocket.
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:46.880
I don't think there's any song that if you had to listen to the rest of your life, you wouldn't walk into the ocean with rocks in your pockets.
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:49.840
Oh, but I'd last a few more days if it wasn't Geronimo.
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:50.799
Yeah, I'm not saying I love it.
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.799
I'm saying it's objectively not bad.
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:54.560
I think it's objectively bad.
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:55.840
Nah, incorrect.
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:57.439
I think it's a heinous song.
00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.520
Mate, we gotta we gotta talk about we gotta talk about objectivity here.
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:03.359
It was it's like boom clap.
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.159
It's the song Boom Clap by Charlie XXX.
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.079
No, it's because that's also quite a good pop song.
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.120
No, it's Fedora and Suspenders territory drama.
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:12.719
Nah, that's not his no one near it.
00:01:12.799 --> 00:01:15.200
No, it's saying that's in the same league as like a Lumineers.
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:15.920
Yeah.
00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:16.400
Nah.
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:19.200
Mate, have you listened to like three songs in your life?
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.120
I I'm telling you, Geronimo is co-worker pop music.
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:25.519
It's fine, it's fine, it's an absolutely fine song.
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:30.000
There's a lot of there's a lot of things about Shepherd did not like, but the quality of that song is not one of them.
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:31.599
I can tell you that for free.
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:33.920
I know our listeners will support me.
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:38.239
Yeah, but also sometimes our listeners, you know, sometimes I see the DMs I might.
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:40.719
You were arguing with one of our listeners yesterday.
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:42.400
Yeah, while you were drunk at a wedding.
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:43.840
Yeah, I'll tell you what.
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.319
To be fair, back to the cave, boys and girls.
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:50.400
No, to be fair, I jumped in with you because he was like, You lost me at coldplay.
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:52.560
I was like, absolutely fucking not.
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.040
I think I chirped back as ant.
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.840
I was like, early coldplay is the fucking best.
00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.439
Oh, yeah, it's a banger.
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.359
He's picked up parachutes, ladies and gentlemen.
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.599
Yeah, and I chirped and said, No, old coldplay rules.
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:06.560
Old play.
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.680
And then you're like, absolutely fucking not.
00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.719
Um, I'll have you know, Coldplay is a fucking incredible band.
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:14.319
I'd had a couple of shweps by that point.
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.560
So because you were chirpy.
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:19.280
Getting in there saying some words.
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:20.560
Oh, fucking hell.
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.159
Sam, should we do some new music?
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:22.960
We should.
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:23.439
All right.
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.280
Well, uh, for me on the pod today, Sam, all locals all day.
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:28.400
It's all Brizzy stuff.
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.360
Or Brizzy and Surrounds, the greater Southeast Queensland area, if you will.
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:32.319
Someone cut him off.
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:33.520
He's gonna keep talking.
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:41.360
Uh, this first song, Friends of the Band, Sam, uh, FKA Greatest Hits, now known as Double Talk.
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.800
They dropped uh their debut record the other day.
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.879
Bit of a bit of a sad story to kind of lead up to the to the to the record.
00:02:49.039 --> 00:03:00.319
So um they were, you know, had had the had the uh the build, the career go on, they dropped a couple of EPs, they dropped a few singles, they're about to drop the debut EP, and then unfortunately, Chelsea from the band got diagnosed with breast cancer.
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.759
They put it all on hold while she was undergoing treatment, going through recovery.
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:11.199
If you watch the this kind of cute mini documentary narrative by their their um son on the on their uh Instagram, super duper cute.
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:23.919
Um talks about how she kind of fell out of love with music because you know, obviously, life takes over in some ways, but then um kind of like got that spark back, and they were like, well, instead of like, you know, restarting the the release process, let's just put the album out.
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.879
So Lips and Bloops is the name of the debut record.
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:29.919
There's a few um songs that we would have brought to the show years and years ago.
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.360
Real funky, real psyche kind of groove rock that builds up over time.
00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:35.680
One of the best live bands I've ever seen.
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.439
Um, they are so fucking good.
00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:42.960
But uh, yeah, this is Best Friends by uh Double Talk, FKA Greatest Hits.
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:44.719
Get it around you.
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:18.079
So, not gonna lie, I wasn't really paying attention fully in your intro because I thought you were talking about FKA twigs.
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:19.920
No, not FKA twigs at all.
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:26.079
Yeah, because I was like, oh, I didn't know they were Australian, but you're saying FKA formerly known as Correct, correct, yes.
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:27.680
Yeah, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.279
I know anyway.
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.920
Oh, I'm so out of practice because I don't full disclosure, everyone, I forgot my laptop.
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:35.439
Yeah, that's a fake laptop that he's got.
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:36.800
This is a this is a prop.
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:38.079
We got it from IKEA.
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.519
Um and I don't have any of my normal things.
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:46.000
So I'm using my phone and it's he's struggling.
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:47.120
He's really struggling here, people.
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:52.160
It's like when you give a boomer a new phone and you're like, Where's where's my contacts?
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:52.560
Yeah.
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.040
How do I make the apps bigger?
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.240
Should I get you some spectacles?
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:00.240
Yeah, we've got plenty around here.
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.160
I've got some vipers there we can put on.
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.000
Let's leave the pennies off, eh?
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:05.600
Let's do it.
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:08.959
Freight trains this week, Maxwell.
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:10.000
Mate choo-choo.
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:11.040
Choo choo.
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.240
How many chugga chuggers before we get to a choo-choo?
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:15.839
Two.
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:17.759
Chugga chugga choo-choo.
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:20.160
You've done it.
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:21.680
Maybe three.
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:25.920
Why did you do four?
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.639
Chugga chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, choo-choo.
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:29.680
No, three's good.
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:30.480
Three's good.
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.720
Yeah, because that's six, which has a good beat to it.
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:34.639
Alright, so we're saying six individual chuggers.
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:35.360
Or even just one.
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:36.959
Chugga chugga choo-choo.
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:40.160
Okay, so one double as a chugga chugger.
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:40.560
Yeah.
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:44.560
Okay, but so two two individual chugs, if you will.
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:46.000
I think so.
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:47.680
You're hurting my brain today.
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:48.560
Alright, mate.
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:50.800
I'll tell you what, you just get back to the train timetable.
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:51.519
Yeah.
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.879
Anyway, uh, my first song, Maxwell, I bought this band last week.
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:56.000
They're called Asava.
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.199
Well, whoa, whoa, you're going for a double up, you've gone for a back-to-back.
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:00.800
That's a f that's a faux pas.
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:04.480
Asava, if you're a friend of Jelongus, I know he plays Support Adelaide.
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:05.839
Sava Radigalia.
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.439
That's a deep cut that no one will understand.
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.600
For a second, I don't know if you understood it.
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:13.600
No, I was like, I got the team wrong.
00:06:13.680 --> 00:06:23.360
No, the band is Asava, and I brought their song End Again last week, and I've deep dived into their album, and this song's called Comatose, and it is sexy.
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:24.160
Okay.
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:27.839
So think Chase Atlantic Pop meets.
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:32.560
It's actually it's Sachi 6 vibes, is what I would describe it as.
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:35.759
But just uh a freight train to start us.
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:36.480
Okay, let's do it.
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:38.000
Choo choo, mate.
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:39.920
A freight train of sexy.
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:41.600
Running a train on this.
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:09.920
A little more doomy than Saatchi, potentially?
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:10.560
A little bit.
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:11.040
Yeah.
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:13.040
Bit more soundscapy.
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:15.680
Yeah, a bit more atmosphere in that, uh, in that breakdown.
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:16.639
Bit of Atmos.
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:17.439
Yes, yes.
00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:18.879
Bit of Dolby Atmos.
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:19.199
Yeah.
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:20.399
It's not a paid spot.
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:21.040
No, it's not.
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:21.759
I never understood that.
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.639
When I worked at JB Hi Fi, they're like, does this have Dolby Atmos?
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.720
I was like, fucking, I guess so.
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:27.680
What is it?
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:28.319
I don't know.
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:34.000
It's uh just the way that the mixing and mastering oh I'll shut the fuck up then.
00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:36.480
This guy.
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:44.720
Also, uh, I wasn't planning on doing this, but shout out to our friends at Marshall who shot who have sent us some goodies in the form of their uh Jimi Hendrix um collection.
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:49.519
And these are the this is the first time that we've used them on the show, and I've got the uh audio coming through.
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:52.240
Sounds fucking thick in these, I'll be honest.
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:52.879
Thick.
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.199
That that uh that breakdown hit quite hard.
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:58.160
Not breakdown, but that that big boomy bit hit quite hard.
00:07:58.319 --> 00:07:59.439
He likes it, girthy.
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:00.399
Yeah, so anyway.
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:01.360
They look good on you.
00:08:01.519 --> 00:08:02.000
Thanks, mate.
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:02.399
Thanks.
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:03.920
Nice little purple and black.
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:06.000
Yeah, we've got the little speaker here as well.
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.120
Yeah, shout out to Marshall who who who just who hooked us up with these.
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:13.439
Um the speakers are sick, the headphones are cool too, like really quality.
00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:16.000
The yamps are better at Marshall.
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:23.439
For anyone, including Marshall, if you would like to work with this on a paid capacity, that's fine.
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:26.319
Um, we can take I can take Sam off it if you prefer.
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:31.680
Oh, sometimes my brain works in mysterious ways.
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:34.960
And then afterwards I go, that's not my best.
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:37.759
Okay.
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.000
Um let's move forward, eh?
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.759
I want to shout out uh a friend of the show, Amy, who uh introduced me to this next artist.
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:47.360
They're called Montetna.
00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:58.639
Um, they're a Brisbane producer who's dropping that kind of like late night feeling kind of house track sort of vibe, um, blending a few other little genres in as well from the you know in from the EDM world.
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:00.720
Um this track is called Foreigner.
00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:12.320
It's a B side to um his most recent single, Think, kind of Lupo the Boy, Harry Hayes type drop, um, which is the part I'm gonna show you, but then towards the back end of the song, it kind of really builds into this like full house banger.
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.320
So it kind of takes you on a real journey here.
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:17.279
Um, but I think I think you'll enjoy it.
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:17.919
I'm ready.
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:18.159
Cool.
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:20.879
So this is yeah, Foreigner by Montetna.
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:49.919
Late night crash out house.
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:51.200
Oh, it's late night.
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:52.879
My girlfriend just broke up with me.
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.039
Actually, we got a funny message.
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:56.080
Not a funny.
00:09:56.639 --> 00:09:57.200
Here we go.
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:58.080
Not funny.
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:02.720
Shout out to our lovely fan who messaged us.
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:07.919
They asked for one of our playlists, essentially, from the most beautiful songs we brought last week.
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:09.360
Okay, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.440
I was like, Yeah, yeah, here's the episode playlist.
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:12.399
There you go.
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.919
And he goes, Thanks, dude.
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:16.879
My girl just left me.
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:17.679
I need this right now.
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:23.279
But then I realized in hindsight I did the worst thing physically possible.
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:29.440
I went, sorry to hear, in times like this, I listen to Ethel Caiden's zeros as well.
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.600
Someone checked on this person, and then embarrassed I said, listen in moderation.
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:34.879
Do I do I need to call the police?
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:35.679
That's a hate crime.
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:36.720
You might have to.
00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:41.759
Afterwards, I was like, whoa, well, um, shout out to that listener.
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:46.080
I hope you are well uh and also extant at this point.
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.399
Um that's yeah, Sam's really done you dirty there.
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:49.360
Apologies.
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:51.679
Uh heal it to feel it.
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:53.759
Well, first, I think it might be the other way around.
00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:54.639
I think it's the other way around.
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:55.120
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:56.080
Feel it to heal it.
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:56.720
Yeah, yeah.
00:10:56.799 --> 00:11:03.120
But um I I don't know if I necessarily subscribe to that uh that particular, you know, mantra, but that's fine, you know.
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:04.080
Hope you're okay.
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:04.879
Sorry.
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:06.240
Apologies to hear.
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:07.039
That's sad.
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:09.279
Anyway, my next song.
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:10.399
Moving right along.
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.279
Moving right along.
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.840
Throne have dropped a new song.
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.080
They've got an album coming out called Unwanted.
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:19.840
It's gonna be the second most intense 20 minutes of your life.
00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:23.840
The only one more intense was their first album that also went for 20 minutes.
00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:25.360
12 songs, 20 minutes.
00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:25.919
Yeah.
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:27.679
On a on a clip there.
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:30.320
Moving a clip.
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:31.440
Oh, yeah.
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:32.720
We'll move forward.
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:33.759
Yeah, we'll move forward.
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.559
We're firing on zero cylinders today.
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.159
And I'll listen in high stuff.
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:39.679
Oh, that's what you said.
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:48.080
Anyway, um all I'll say before I go into this is what the actual fuck.
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:48.639
Okay.
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:50.399
Fuck me up.
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:13.679
Tripleted syncopation there.
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:14.320
There's a lot going on.
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:16.320
Oh, they love an angry song, don't they?
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:17.039
What was the name of that?
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:18.799
I don't think you gave us the tr the track name.
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:19.360
Unwanted.
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:21.279
Oh, sorry, you said that it's from an album.
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:22.480
Sorry, sorry.
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.240
Apologies, apologies, apologies.
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:24.960
No, that's okay.
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:25.759
It was on me, probably.
00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:26.480
No, that's that's fine.
00:12:26.559 --> 00:12:26.799
That's fine.
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:27.840
You get that on the big jobs.
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:29.759
I feel so unwanted wear it now.
00:12:30.799 --> 00:12:31.759
That'd be such a good, that'd be good.
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:36.240
I feel.
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.679
I can't do it.
00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:40.879
Why don't you give us your best screen?
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:44.960
Anyway, Sam, my next song is uh from a an artist named Lottie McLeod.
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:46.000
Oh, bangers.
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:46.559
Bangers.
00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:49.519
Uh Sam, uh, this song is called Wednesdays at the Waterloo.
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:55.919
Um Lottie McLeod is a singer songwriter from right here in Brisbane, so I have to assume that the Waterloo is the pub just down the road on commercial road.
00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:56.960
Opposite the Triffid.
00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:58.159
Opposite the Triffid, indeed.
00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:06.399
Um, so there's kind of like a bit of like an alt country kind of inflection to this one, like really smooth melodies, but there's these kind of like little blue note bend, guitar bends in the in the main riff.
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:12.080
And I think this kind of tracks hit somewhere between like Casey Musgraves Golden Hour sort of thing and then like Phoebe Bridges.
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:18.159
So a little more high energy than Phoebe Bridges, and a little bit more low energy than Casey Musgraves, if that makes sense.
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.639
Right in that pocket there, right in the Venn diagram middle ground.
00:13:20.879 --> 00:13:21.440
Yes, exactly.
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:25.679
So yeah, this is Wednesdays at the Waterloo by Lottie McLeod, Sam.
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:32.799
Get them next week, baby.
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.320
You're such a stunning face.
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:43.600
It's that what you're trying to say.
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:45.600
You're such a stunning face.
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:46.639
That's cool.
00:13:46.799 --> 00:13:47.840
Yeah, that is really cool.
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.000
There's a lot going on, but it all just works together.
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:53.600
It reminds me of that um Hudson Freeman song, If you know me.
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:54.480
Oh, yeah.
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:57.600
Yeah, that blues country.
00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:59.120
Little bit of like swampiness to it.
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:00.240
Yeah, it's cool.
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.840
Next up for me, Maxwell, friends of the show, the brave.
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:04.960
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:06.559
Shout out Nate, what's up?
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:07.919
Shout out our boy Nate.
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:09.039
Sorry we never posted that.
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:12.399
We have big apologies tonight that are happening off air.
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.120
Yeah, we will send you a postcard.
00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:17.759
Um and a firmly written.
00:14:18.159 --> 00:14:20.080
Maybe like a hamper, a gift hamper.
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:20.879
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:22.320
With a new tennis racket.
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.799
Anyway, um the the boys are back.
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.759
They dropped a new song called Static, and this thing is like an atomic bomb.
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:32.399
Okay.
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:38.240
Heavily guarded and regulated by an international commission of atomic energy.
00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:42.799
Yeah, it's not quite enough to be like politically um confusing.
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:46.080
Like regulated, you know, there's no there's no treaties that are holding this thing.
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:49.679
No, there's nothing to communicate between parties on it.
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:52.080
Yeah, we're not fearful of nuclear war.
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:57.039
It's more just like an a nuclear bomb in waiting when you play it in your ears.
00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:57.679
Yeah, that's fair.
00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:58.480
So it's called static.
00:14:58.559 --> 00:14:59.919
I'm gonna play you the little blank down.
00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:01.600
Fluff me up, Sam.
00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:21.200
Goodness gorgeous.
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:22.960
It's the heaviest the boys have ever sounded.
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:24.320
Yeah, they're thin sounding thick.
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:25.919
They're sounding thick.
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.000
They're founding thick, my guy.
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:29.679
Was it thick, was it thick?
00:15:29.759 --> 00:15:30.320
We'll never know.
00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:30.960
You never know.
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:32.720
Only the lisp knows.
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:36.240
Sam, I think it's time we get to a bit of uh bit of news.
00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:38.000
News, reviews, interviews.
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:38.960
All right, what is it?
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:39.679
78 amps?
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:40.320
Fucking hell.
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:42.639
Honestly, what a shit podcast.
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:48.240
Uh Sam, the avalanches uh have announced they're going around the country.
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:50.240
And I mean they're going to all the metros.
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:52.240
Should we warn the mountain patrol?
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:52.960
We should tell them.
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:54.799
We should tell the park rangers, if you will.
00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:56.879
The avalanches are going around the country.
00:15:57.200 --> 00:15:59.440
Helmets need to be issued at all ski slopes.
00:15:59.519 --> 00:15:59.600
Yeah.
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:04.000
I've had to make a very ill-timed, poorly tasted joke that I won't make now.
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:10.000
Uh yeah, so the avalanches are heading to all the metro uh cities, which love to hear.
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:15.840
They're doing two nights in Perth, which uh on the February on the Feb on Febru 27th and 28th.
00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:23.279
They're doing the Heinland Street Music Hall in Adelaide on March 4th, the Royal Botanical Gardens in Melbourne on March 5th, on the banks here in Brizzy at Q Park.
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:24.480
Oh my god.
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:26.000
Man, Q Park would be a sick rapper.
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:29.919
It's just Tupac, but it's just Q Park would be great for Queensland skate park.
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:30.159
Yeah.
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:31.120
Oh, that's not bad.
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:31.360
Yeah.
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:32.480
Indoor skate park.
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:33.039
Where are you going?
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:33.759
Oh, Q Park.
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:34.559
Queensland love.
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:39.120
And instead of listening to all the fucking sick cities in California, it's just like Rockhampton, you in the house?
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:40.720
It's Tupac's other brother.
00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:40.879
Yeah.
00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:41.440
Cupac.
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:43.759
Tupac and Q-Pac.
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.279
Uh yeah, they're doing On the Banks here in Brizzy on March 6th.
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:51.200
And then the Sydney Opera House Forecourt on March 7th, which is pretty, pretty solid.
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:51.840
We'd love to see that.
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.159
I'd love to see a show at the Sydney Opera House Forecourt.
00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:57.759
I think Fontaines did one there, and I was actually like Biguttered.
00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:58.240
Yeah.
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:00.080
Imagine singing favourite there.
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:00.480
Yeah.
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:01.200
Oh, mate.
00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:05.200
Well, I mean, the the Avalanches uh like their live show is incredible.
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:12.720
The way that they bring their like sample, like sample heavy music to life with like a kind of a half live band, half DJ set.
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:13.519
It's very cool.
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:15.839
So um big recommends on that one.
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:19.839
Big recommends big rec that's getting two big recommends from Max Higgins.
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.599
Boom! Boom! Two big recommends.
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:24.640
Bosch.
00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:30.240
I've been saying that unironically, and fuck, it's the best thing in the world.
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:32.079
Saying Bosch.
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:34.640
But what are you getting?
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:36.720
What are you getting from your Chinese order, mate?
00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:40.880
You're gonna write the record for most items from a Chinese menu ordered them for 60 seconds.
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:41.920
I actually will.
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:43.839
Chicken chow main.
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:46.079
Sweeten sour pork.
00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:46.960
Yeah, I'll have it.
00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:49.359
Sweet and sour pork, sweetened sour chicken, sweetened sour lamb.
00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:50.720
We get it, brother.
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:51.839
Sweeten sour beef.
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.279
Corn crackers.
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:55.680
What a man.
00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:02.720
Uh let's talk Laneway Festival, Maxwell, because it dropped uh since last week, since we last spoke.
00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:05.119
Well, annoyingly, as with almost everything we do.
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:06.160
It dropped on a Tuesday.
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.240
Well, I think it dropped on a Wednesday, but like just after we released the episode.
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:11.680
Which is super annoying.
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:14.079
But um, I'll tell you what, what a drop.
00:18:14.319 --> 00:18:15.359
It dropped post-release.
00:18:16.400 --> 00:18:17.119
You know what they say?
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:20.319
You can still get pregnant from post-release.
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:23.839
I want to apologize to my family.
00:18:23.920 --> 00:18:25.519
Uh, I want to apologize to the nation.
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:27.039
I want to apologize to the club.
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:28.880
Um, it was it wasn't worth it.
00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:30.640
Um sorry.
00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:36.160
For those that have missed it, Laneway Festival have announced their lineup.
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:47.920
They're bringing Fontaines and Haley Williams as the two headliners with Slater, Adela, Kim Petris, Nina Girachi, Blue Bagata, Dive, Horse Girl, Jane Remover, and a shitload of others.
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:49.519
Um, it's a stacked lineup.
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:50.960
This lineup just keeps on giving.
00:18:51.039 --> 00:19:01.599
Like down the bottom, you've got one tablespoon, you've got Bleach93, you've got Dane, you've got uh Echo Vandal, Eka Vandal, Florence Road, Guriers, Violent Girl, right down the bottom, trials.
00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:04.880
Like there's some absolute heaters in there, Sam.
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:05.839
Haters.
00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:14.960
Um I feel like this is a it's the it's the trend.
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:23.519
We've we've had two years of of the pop girlies at Lameway, and I feel like we're transitioning from the pop girlies into the the pop girlies meets the like the three-quarter Jorts boys.
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:24.319
You know what I mean?
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:28.400
Actual Jort wearers, yeah, not the poser universal Jort wearers.
00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:30.079
I font a Fontaine's DC crowd.
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.000
That's that's a Velcro wallet I've ever seen one.
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.240
Yeah, Balu Brigada has elements of Velcro, if you will.
00:19:36.400 --> 00:19:38.480
Um, and yeah, Dive also in there as well.
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:50.799
I think there's this is this is for me back to like don't get me wrong, I loved Laneway's last two years, but this is back to like perfect laneway, like a little bit for everyone, and a lot of bands where you're like, that's a fucking awesome gap.
00:19:51.119 --> 00:20:02.559
Yeah, it feels like Laneway are bridging the gap between pop and alternative, and they're starting to build a bridge between the audiences, which I think is really important for the sustainability of festivals.
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:03.039
Yep.
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:10.160
Um we can't have festivals without punters, and alternative fans love going to festivals.
00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:13.759
If you bring them in, like if you invite them, they will come.
00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:14.240
Yeah, yeah.
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:17.279
So I think this is the perfect festival for that.
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:19.200
A lot of people were complaining about it.
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:20.640
Yeah, but I don't get it.
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:27.039
I'd say the the reaction when I when I saw this lineup, I was like, this is an undeniably good laneway lineup.
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:27.920
Totally good.
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:33.359
To jump onto Instagram and TikTok and see comments of people being like, this is the most mid lineup I've ever seen.
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:34.640
I was flawed.
00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:36.400
Where are the headliners?
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:39.200
I'm like, Fontaine's are the biggest band in the world right now.
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:40.559
Are you fucking kidding?
00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:43.359
And Haley Williams, like, she is aura.
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:44.319
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:47.359
I don't know if you've heard of a band called Paramour.
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:49.279
What about Paraless?
00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:54.000
We're not bringing it a famous segment we've learned that we've done from the archives.
00:20:54.640 --> 00:20:58.960
Two of the biggest artists in the world right now with that much momentum behind them.
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:03.119
Yeah, Laneway has a habit of bringing artists just as they're peaking.
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:05.519
Fontaines are just about to drop a new album.
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:07.279
Like the momentum behind them is massive.
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:07.599
Yeah.
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.119
Just because you don't know who they are, doesn't make them less of a headliner.
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:11.519
True.
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:31.519
And also, I feel like for me, I think what a lot of people might be complaining about, or not necessarily complaining, but a lot of where a lot of people might be drawing that complaint from is that over if you have come to Landway in the last two years, where Charlie X and Chapel Roan have been at the peak of their powers, like as mainstream pop acts.
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:36.559
Like the thing is that Lameway had pre-built kind of relationships with both those artists.
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:40.400
Like Charlie had had headline before, so she already knew the festival and was happy to come back here.
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:44.720
Chapel, I believe, had played at a previous Landway or had been in discussions of previous Laneways.
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:53.599
So I think like they were kind of like two uh one off exceptions to the general rule, which is that Lameway book massive bands just before they blow up.
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:58.160
You know, like they've had Billie Eilish, they've had the 1975, they've had Charlie XCX before.
00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:04.960
Joji, Joji, and like but they It was before the mainstream or even the like broader alternative community knew about these bands.
00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:07.839
Or like, you know, they knew about them, but they weren't, you know, 100% sure.
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:12.799
It's when you Laneway is the head the lineups when you look back and you go, that was stacked.
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:14.000
We just didn't know it at the time.
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:14.640
100%.
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:32.799
Even looking at Laneway Festival last year, you look at the depth, Chapel Roan, obviously the headliner, but then you've got apart from that, Pink Panther S and role model, maybe as you're two and three, Geese just before they blew up, Gigi Perez is massive, Young Lean.
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.599
Apart from that, oh wet leg obviously big as well.
00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:41.119
But apart from that, they kind of just had these artists on the brink of blowing up.
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:41.359
Yeah.
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:46.640
And this year's lineup, when you look at the depth of it, is stronger than last year's.
00:22:46.799 --> 00:22:52.880
I I think in terms of like a you know, it may not have that one spike artist where you're like, I'm going just for Chapel Roam.
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:56.079
But I think the best part about a Lamo lineup is you don't go just for one artist.
00:22:56.160 --> 00:23:05.839
You go, I like five or six of these, and I know another two or three, and then there's probably five after that that I'll discover while I'm there and go, this was a six set that I didn't even know I was gonna see.
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:13.599
Can you imagine camping out at the main stage and you'll see Nina Girachi probably into Slater, into Haley Williams, into Fontaines?
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:14.720
Like, that's massive.
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:25.039
Even like, even I think if you just went for you know the pop girly side of it, you got Slater, you got Adela, Kim Petras, Nina Girachi, Horse Girl, like that's it, that's that in itself is a great lineup.
00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:27.440
Like Adela's album is so good.
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:29.279
That uh the one that's just dropped.
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:36.400
Um, and like the the Nicole Kidman song that is the the TikTok favorite, I'd say is like the most middle song on that record.
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:40.160
Like it's a great song, and there's just others above that that just are pop hits.
00:23:40.319 --> 00:23:45.599
Yeah, Nina Girachi has obviously been on an absolute like generational run after uh I Love My Computer.
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.720
Slater, worst girl in America, fucking incredible record.
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:54.240
Like I think to pull these at this time in this audit, like that's this is a huge gap for Laneway.
00:23:54.480 --> 00:23:55.039
100%.
00:23:55.599 --> 00:24:01.920
Well, let's quickly talk about it then because I feel like you and I are going for different things, which is the beauty of this lineup.
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:06.319
So Laneway 2027, what are you looking forward to?
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:09.119
Um, okay, Slater, I'll be honest.
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:15.279
I just I just want to see all of the worst Girl in America songs just in my face, just blasting into my eyes.
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:22.160
The my biggest regret, musical regret this year, has been not catching the Slater show when it was here in Brisbane uh a couple of months ago.
00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:27.200
Um, just I everyone that I've talked to that weren't there was like that was the best show we've seen this year.
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.519
And I'm not surprised that record's so good.
00:24:29.599 --> 00:24:32.559
Nina Girachi, we saw her earlier this year at Gribbin's The Moo.
00:24:32.640 --> 00:24:33.119
Yeah.
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:34.480
Fuck me up again.
00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:35.119
Insane.
00:24:35.279 --> 00:24:35.920
Go back in.
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:39.279
Like the frequencies is what I would say was the takeaway.
00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:42.559
Like, borderline hurts your ears at times, be like, this is fucking sick.
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:44.240
But I'm just picturing that main stage.
00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:45.680
I actually think she might not be main stage.
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:47.519
I think she might close out the uh the other stage.
00:24:49.200 --> 00:24:58.079
Yeah, and I just I'm imagining like that the that same set but bigger with more lights and everything going off like an insane thing.
00:24:58.160 --> 00:24:59.440
Uh, I really want to catch Dane.
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:04.240
Um, obviously, since they like a version, I've just gathered more about them, love their their setup.
00:25:04.319 --> 00:25:05.599
I'm really keen to dive in.
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:10.559
And then like you talk about how good Trials was when you saw him with Hilt Up Hoods.
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:12.799
I'd love to see that set brought to life, especially off the back of it.
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:13.839
The Hendel album as well.
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:14.319
100%.
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:16.960
So yeah, I'm keen to see those guys about you.
00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:21.200
Well, I think the beauty of it is you can go for the pop stuff and you can go for the alt stuff.
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:24.400
So like Fontaine's DC and Haley, one two for me.
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:25.759
Yeah, have to be.
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:27.839
Blue Brigada, so fun.
00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:29.680
Gonna be one of the biggest bands in the world.
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:32.559
Dive, like underrated pull.
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:32.799
Yeah.
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:35.279
Shoe gaze, like so good.
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:35.759
Yeah.
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:40.960
Um also bleach nine three, again, underrated pull on there.
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:43.440
Echo Vandal, obviously having a blow up at the moment.
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:47.680
Guria's like a even more spoken word, Fontaines almost.
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:47.920
Yep.
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:49.279
And then Violet Grohl.
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:53.680
We saw her at um at Ignite City event.
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:55.039
Um, and she was really good.
00:25:55.119 --> 00:26:01.680
I'm keen to see less of a stripped back set and more of a full um like a full band performance.
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:02.160
Yeah.
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:04.960
And then public figures from Big Sound.
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:07.359
Yeah, one of the one of the most talked about bands of Big Sound.
00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:07.839
100%.
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:09.920
So keen to see what they're like.
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:13.759
They're no fucks given, just all out sort of punk energy.
00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:14.880
So I'm keen to see that.
00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:17.920
But fuck Nina Girachi as well, throw that in there.
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:21.200
And then even someone like Adela heard all about it.
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:22.960
I don't know a thing, but why not?
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:29.839
If you're if you're listening to this and you you are one of the people who thought this was actually quite a mid uh lineup, genuinely this I'm not talk talking shit.
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:31.119
Genuinely, I'd love to know why.
00:26:31.200 --> 00:26:36.079
Because I'm like to me, this seems like an absolute no-brainer huge win.
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:41.440
But if if if there is some consternation out there, drop drop us a DM because I'd I would honestly love to know.
00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:53.519
The other thing I want to quickly talk about before we let it go, laneway ticket prices, people are complaining that they're$239 for first release and then go up to$275 for fourth release.
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:57.599
Festivals are really expensive to put on.
00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:57.920
Yes.
00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:59.440
We're talking millions of dollars.
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:05.759
I mean, I'm pretty sure police and security alone is between half a mil and a million dollars.
00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:07.039
Well, depends on the market.
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:10.559
Yeah, in in New South Wales, there were reports they were charging millions of dollars.
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:11.359
Yeah, yeah.
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:15.440
Like to put on a festival is millions of dollars of investment.
00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:19.920
The performance fees of these artists are eye-watering.
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:20.319
Yeah.
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:23.920
I understand that the cost of living is hard.
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:24.400
Yeah.
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:33.279
But to complain that a festival is too expensive is kind of like, oh, my lobster's too buttery.
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:40.240
Like, I understand times are tough, pockets are not as deep as they used to be.
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:47.440
But to go to a Fontaine's Haley Williams show, Slater, and Adela show separately, you're looking at minimum$600.
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:48.720
That's the thing.
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:54.559
I think you gotta if if you are interested in going to this this festival, and like, you know, fair enough, if this doesn't tickle your boat, whatever, tickle your boat.
00:27:54.720 --> 00:27:55.359
Tickle your boat.
00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:56.079
Yeah, what I said.
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:02.720
But if you if you are interested in at least probably three or four of these artists, it is gonna be more economical to just get the the the lame way ticket.
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:03.359
100%.
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:08.240
And I understand that if you don't you're not sold on the lineup in like one or two, yeah, it's expensive.
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:14.319
But like you have to to sell tickets to a festival, you have to sell exclusivity.
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:14.720
Yeah.
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:17.359
You have to understand where the festival's coming to, yeah.
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.039
Or coming from, sorry.
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:21.599
And kind of meet them halfway.
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:33.039
Like if you want to go to Laneway next year, if you want there to be a lane way next year or a good things or a spilt milk, yeah, you have to be willing to pour into them as well.
00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:33.440
Yeah.
00:28:33.759 --> 00:28:37.680
I think it's it's a supply and demand thing, but it definitely is.
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.559
Like you've got to they scratch your back, you scratch theirs.
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:55.920
And look, I can understand why like Perth and Adelaide, it still sucks that you guys got dropped off of the uh off the lineup, but at the same time, like it is not cheap to drive 15 trucks worth of gear across the Nullabore.
00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:58.079
Like it's it is shithouse.
00:28:58.400 --> 00:28:58.799
Sorry.
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:20.640
Like that that doesn't mean we shouldn't be trying hard to get these things to to come to Perth to go to Adelaide, but I still think in in terms of like if, as you said, if we want Laneway to survive and then hopefully get back to a place where we can do these kind of things, yeah, like the the the choice made in the short term of like, hey, very sorry, might mean a long-term survival of the festival and back coming back versus well, we just can't do it.
00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:26.480
I would also argue that Laneway had a huge hand to playing Fontaines, playing uh Perth and Adwart.
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:27.359
Yeah, oh definitely.
00:29:27.440 --> 00:29:36.640
There's definitely like a uh, you know, like they they probably wouldn't be coming out here to do the solo shows if they weren't already over here with that the large majority of that being covered by Laneway.
00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:37.519
100%.
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:47.759
So I understand it's tough and cost of living and all that jazz, but like it's the world we're in.
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:49.200
Yes, very much so.
00:29:49.519 --> 00:30:00.799
Sambo, a quick a quick little talk piece because I I saw this uh tweet going absolutely bananas on social media this week, and it's un unreasonably pissed me off.
00:30:01.119 --> 00:30:01.440
Okay.
00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:04.559
So I want to uh give you a bit of backstory for for what this is.
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:07.920
So Nick Sarayev, apologies if I didn't pronounce your name correctly.
00:30:08.160 --> 00:30:08.720
Sarayev?
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:16.559
Possibly, uh, is a Canadian uh AI educator, consultant, content creator, talks about AI.
00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:28.160
Nick tweeted uh Nick tweeted earlier uh this month, well, actually not really this month, because it was last month, but Nick tweeted earlier that uh about AI and music creation.
00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:34.480
And to quote him directly, quote, I'm not joking when I say this, Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over.
00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:36.079
AI is now very, very good.
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.079
Sorry, AI music is now very, very good.
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:44.799
You don't know yet because all AI music today is circ all AI music circulating today is from two to three generations ago.
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:45.759
End quote.
00:30:46.000 --> 00:31:08.960
He goes on to then talk about how there is now essentially infinite personalizing personalized playlists that people can create through AI music generation agents, and essentially goes on to argue that music, human-made music, is essentially redundant because we can create the exact kind of music we want to hear at any point at Infinatum, uh through thank you, through uh AI.
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:10.400
So I don't know.
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:12.559
I'm just like shut up, Nick.
00:31:12.720 --> 00:31:14.640
There's so many things about this that piss me off.
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:16.480
Um, what a shit take.
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:19.519
It's it's a it is, I would say, a pretty dog shit take.
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:25.759
What one of the things that pisses me off, well, one of the things I need to catch this with is though, as I said before, he's he works in the AI industry.
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:36.319
Like, yeah, there is a fair chance that whether or not he fully believes this, he has said it in a way to piss people off purely to gain traction as someone who becomes a voice, you know, a leading voice in the conversation about AI.
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:41.680
So, like, by shining light on this, even if this guy doesn't necessarily fully believe this, we are, you know, feeding into that.
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:45.279
Having said that, I just think catch these hands.
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:47.119
Sorry, continue.
00:31:47.279 --> 00:32:01.039
I just I just think like this is uh, you know, a microcosm of the bigger problem of AI, which is that it's solving these problems that people don't want them to solve, you know, like no one's been like, oh, there's just not enough personalized playlisting.
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:02.799
I wish I could have infinite music.
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:05.119
There they kind of essentially already is infinite music.
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:08.640
You couldn't listen to all creative music physically in your lifetime.
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:10.960
You know what I love about my favorite artist?
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:14.640
The fact that I don't have to relate to the person.
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:19.599
I can just listen to the music and have no depth of character beyond that.
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:31.039
I think the beauty of music is the songwriting and the story behind it and the fucking like you fall in love with bands because you like their character, you like their traits, you like their personality.
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:37.680
Like you think of Joey Valence and Bray, they're funny as fuck because of their live shows.
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:37.920
Yeah.
00:32:38.559 --> 00:32:58.880
Every kid growing up in the emo alternative world fell in love with Paramour because they well, everyone had a crush on Haley, but like um because they were funny, they put out behind the scenes stuff, they did docos, like there's lore and there's character building, and it is like a mini world building within these bands and artists.
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:01.440
And like look at someone like Limp Biscuit.
00:33:01.519 --> 00:33:01.680
Yeah.
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:04.319
Are you telling me you listen to Limp Biscuit if they're AI?
00:33:04.559 --> 00:33:05.359
No, definitely not.
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:06.000
Exactly.
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:17.440
But I also think part of it that beyond the AI part of it, I think something that kind of shit me off about this the more I thought about it was the concept of like your playlist being exactly what you want.
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:18.240
You know what I mean?
00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:27.680
Like, there's a that feels like dystopian, but B, I think it's also to some degree like there's times when I'm like, I want to listen to music that I know I don't like, just to see.
00:33:27.839 --> 00:33:28.880
Like, just to see what's out there.
00:33:29.039 --> 00:33:38.720
Like, I'll I'll be like, I have never historically liked this band, but I'll listen to the new music because what if this is my favorite song that I've ever they've ever that's ever been created and it just happens to be from a band I didn't previously like.
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:39.359
Exactly.
00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:43.359
Like even you think about the smart shuffle feature on Spotify.
00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:49.759
I don't know if Apple Music has it, but like it plays you music that is sort of related, but you don't know.
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:50.160
Yeah.
00:33:50.480 --> 00:33:52.960
Like the art of music discovery is so important.
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:59.359
Yeah, the the dopamine hit you get from I've never heard this song before, I probably wouldn't have liked it previously.
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:04.480
Or like, you know, there's there's something about it that I would never have searched for, and suddenly I'm like, this slaps.
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:07.839
Like that it opens up this whole new world, you know.
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:21.280
How often do we talk about will you or I will bring something to the show, and suddenly we we get back here in the studio the next week and we're like, I have been nonstop listening to this artist be since you bought it last week that I've never that I'd never have heard of and have gone down that rabbit hole.
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:26.719
It's genuinely one of the best feelings in the world when you discover new music for the first time.
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:30.480
Like, you're right, the dopamine hit, it's unbelievable.
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:40.800
And it like when you're preempting a breakdown or you're pre-empting a chorus or a hook, and you're like, oh fuck, please hit, please hit, and then it hits better than sex.
00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:45.519
I just yeah, I think like I wouldn't know, but yeah, neither.
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.039
I assume I have to make assumptions here.
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:47.840
Palmela.
00:34:48.400 --> 00:34:50.239
They both last for about three and a half minutes on average.
00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:51.039
Hey, baby.
00:34:51.760 --> 00:35:00.960
But I think, yeah, I I just I know we've had many discussions about AI in music before, and I know we're gonna have many more discussions about it because it's just not gonna go away.
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:02.239
It's the biggest one wank.
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:03.840
I fucking hate AI.
00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:08.400
I just think it's it's one of those things that there that we're there's not a problem that needs to be solved here.
00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:19.840
Like these people could could be dedicating their insane intelligence to like I don't know, solving cancer or like you know, fixing the world's problems, and they're like, no, let's make infinite AI jet.
00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:21.039
Like no one needs this.
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:21.760
No, there is nothing.
00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:28.880
No one's asking for AI, let alone like the environmental impact it has with all these fucking data centers and the water consumption.
00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:30.639
Yeah, what the fuck's that about?
00:35:31.039 --> 00:35:32.320
I don't understand.
00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:34.400
I thought it was tech like tech based.
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:36.480
Yeah, so do you want to quick explain that?
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:39.039
Hit me with it because I'm like, why the fuck are they using so much water?
00:35:39.280 --> 00:35:42.000
It's coolant, they use it as coolant to keep the data centers cool.
00:35:42.159 --> 00:35:49.199
And the thing is, they don't actually need the water, it's just that uh at the moment, water is the cheaper option than literally anything else, and so that is using the water.
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:53.360
If we started making them pay for the water, they'd be like, Oh, we can use other things that aren't water.
00:35:53.519 --> 00:36:01.599
So, like maybe I don't know, I don't want to make it political, but like governments and shit make them pay lots of money for the water and the power, and then they solve their own problems.
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:02.960
Yeah, just a thought.
00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:05.280
Who knew like common sense?
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:06.559
So yeah, what's that about?
00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:07.599
No one else needs water.
00:36:07.840 --> 00:36:11.199
No, who needs a housing crisis when we've got data centers?
00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:11.760
Yeah, exactly.
00:36:11.840 --> 00:36:13.360
We can all live in the fucking data centers.
00:36:13.519 --> 00:36:13.760
Exactly.
00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:15.199
Like it'd be nice and warm.
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:15.599
Yeah.
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:17.920
Ever thought of a shoebox apartment?
00:36:18.239 --> 00:36:19.599
Owning your own house?
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:21.679
Stupid man.
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:22.559
Dickheads.
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:24.320
Anyway, don't get me started.
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:25.280
Fuck.
00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:26.960
Let's get to the suitcase, shall we?
00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:28.159
Zip, zip, Sam.
00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:29.440
Do you want to start or me?
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:30.559
Uh, why don't you kick us off?
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:31.119
All right, let's see.
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:36.079
You've got a pressing uh concern from a you know a worried listener.
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:37.280
Oh, I have.
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:40.400
The people want a running playlist, Maxwell.
00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:42.159
Oh, I like a playlist that just keeps going.
00:36:42.320 --> 00:36:46.400
Yeah, just that um replay with the the dot in the middle of it.
00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:47.360
Yep, yep, yep.
00:36:47.440 --> 00:36:47.920
I like it.
00:36:48.159 --> 00:37:02.400
We were sent a message by a lovely listener by the name of May, how good's sentence structure, um, who requested that as well as our new music, we provide her with some music that she can run to.
00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:03.360
Okay, get out of here.
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:04.960
Pound in the pavement.
00:37:05.039 --> 00:37:05.440
Yeah, exactly.
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:06.639
It's all about that BPM.
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:07.280
Yeah, yep, yeah.
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:21.760
So I've compiled a list of five songs heavy to a bit of EDM to a bit of like rap stuff that I think is perfect for a bit of zone two or um what's it fucking called?
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.920
Where you go slow and then you go fast and then you go slow and then intervals.
00:37:26.159 --> 00:37:26.639
Intervals.
00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:27.679
Interval training, Sam.
00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:32.480
It's good for intervals, it's good for zone two, it's just good for your everyday run.
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:34.639
It's good for the cardiovascular activity sound.
00:37:34.800 --> 00:37:35.039
That's it.
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:36.320
It's all about the BPM, baby.
00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:37.679
So I'm gonna start with.
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:39.840
I should probably have pulled up the music before that.
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:45.679
I'm gonna start with 156 silence and their song, No Arms.
00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:48.320
We've probably makes it harder to run, I'll tell you that much.
00:37:48.480 --> 00:37:49.840
It does, you don't get the momentum.
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:50.320
Yeah.
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:55.760
But uh, when this song kicks in, that interval gets running.
00:37:56.719 --> 00:37:59.119
So let's hit it.
00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:00.079
Let's get it.
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:02.320
What about the 16 buzzer do it?
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:27.360
I'd give that a trot, Sam.
00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:28.400
Yeah, yeah, it's good.
00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:29.679
I spit a lot when I run up.
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:30.079
Do you?
00:38:30.239 --> 00:38:30.559
No.
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:32.079
Just like moisture buildup.
00:38:32.239 --> 00:38:33.840
Just have control of my bodily functions.
00:38:34.000 --> 00:38:34.880
I don't know what it is.
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:35.599
Yeah, weird.
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:37.440
I sweat through my mouth.
00:38:37.760 --> 00:38:38.239
Interesting.
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:42.639
That sounded that sounded less weird in my head.
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:46.320
Uh the next song, Maxwell, is a song I've actually used to run before.
00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:46.960
Oh, yeah.
00:38:47.119 --> 00:38:49.679
Um, friends of the show, slowly, slowly.
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:50.639
Oh, I heard of them.
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:52.320
Um, Blueprint.
00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:53.280
Oh, okay.
00:38:53.440 --> 00:38:56.320
The BPM of this, perfect for running.
00:38:56.480 --> 00:39:01.760
Um if you're fucked, don't listen to it because I've made that mistake.
00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:03.599
This song is quick.
00:39:30.800 --> 00:39:31.679
Such a banger.
00:39:31.760 --> 00:39:32.719
That's quite a canter there.
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:35.280
That's the magnum opus slowly, slowly.
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:37.519
I live and die by that statement.
00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:39.760
I'm sorry if they're listening.
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:41.440
Um, shout out Gloria.
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:46.719
I don't think she does, but shout-out, Gloria, if you are thinking.
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:49.440
Anyway, next one Maxwell needs no introduction.
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:50.960
You can add it to the playlist after.
00:39:51.039 --> 00:39:52.000
You'll know straight away.
00:39:52.159 --> 00:39:52.559
Oh god.
00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:11.119
Could have been, could have been, could have been, could have been certain, could have been a G.
00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:12.480
Should have never stitched weights.
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:15.840
That was of course Victory Lap by Fred again.
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:19.199
I was gonna say, not certainly not uh as fast of a run.
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:20.239
More zone two.
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:21.119
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:22.639
And ironic, you know, isn't it?
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:24.239
Victory Lap for a run.
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:28.320
Yeah, I mean, if it you know, floats your boat.
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:31.119
Well, I mean, oh next up better be running by Evermore.
00:40:31.440 --> 00:40:33.599
Or born to run by Brian Adams.
00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:35.360
No, just the one of them.
00:40:35.599 --> 00:40:36.239
Just one Brian.
00:40:36.480 --> 00:40:37.519
Just one Brian Adam.
00:40:37.679 --> 00:40:38.719
It's Brian Adams.
00:40:39.199 --> 00:40:40.320
There's the two of them.
00:40:40.639 --> 00:40:43.199
They're brothers, they both know Brian and Adams.
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:44.159
Fuck.
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:49.039
Uh next one, Maxwell, is like a Freight train to the running shoes.
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:55.199
We've got uh Block of Flats by Lothe and Static Dress.
00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:59.280
It's like lightsabers dueling.
00:41:02.000 --> 00:41:06.480
Pretty much, and just when Anakin and Obi-Wan are doing their picture that.
00:41:47.760 --> 00:41:48.239
Yeah, you did.
00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:52.000
And the last one, uh, I mentioned Joey Valence and Brave before.
00:41:52.559 --> 00:41:54.159
High energy, high impact.
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:55.360
This is friends.
00:41:56.159 --> 00:41:57.519
Do do do do do.
00:42:18.639 --> 00:42:24.559
Uh if you want to see Sam doing the running man in the mosh pit, uh why am I doing my runs in the mosh pit?
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:26.000
Circle pit.
00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:26.800
Oh yeah.
00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:27.199
Yeah.
00:42:27.519 --> 00:42:29.679
You've got some stuff for me, Daddy.
00:42:30.000 --> 00:42:30.800
I certainly duff.
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:31.920
We talked about it earlier.
00:42:32.079 --> 00:42:38.639
Avalanches are coming too on the banks, Sam, and I think I know that you are a little under-educated when it comes to the avalanches.
00:42:38.880 --> 00:42:40.159
No uh, no, no shade.
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:45.920
So I think I'll I think I might do a quick crash course education on the avalanches for you.
00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:47.199
I think let's let's go.
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:52.000
I've done this in chronological order because I think you need to sort of see the development of the uh of uh the avalanches as they go, you know what I mean?
00:42:52.159 --> 00:42:55.440
Like you see how they've gone as artists throughout their career.
00:42:55.599 --> 00:42:57.199
So let's start way back at the beginning.
00:42:57.280 --> 00:43:01.360
It's the uh the title track from their debut record, Since I Left You.
00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:05.519
I was writing if you say the classic stupid joke.
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:07.199
Um what do you mean?
00:43:07.440 --> 00:43:07.840
Never mind.
00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:08.880
Since I left you.
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:11.039
It's a title track, you know, as you can.
00:43:11.199 --> 00:43:12.000
Oh, what's the name of it?
00:43:12.079 --> 00:43:12.800
Yeah, yeah, it's classic.
00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:14.239
Yeah, sorry, that's good.
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:28.559
This song came out in 2000, and the thing to know about the Avalanches is that they assembled all of the tracks on their debut records from like 3,500 different little samples and bits that they pulled from all sorts of places.
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:33.920
There's music samples, there's just vocal samples, there's little like real life samples and stuff like that.
00:43:34.000 --> 00:43:42.559
And they they built them all into these songs, not on the grid, they don't have pro tools, it was just using like samplers and like analog tools, which is crazy to do.
00:43:42.880 --> 00:43:43.760
Friggin' quasi.
00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:45.039
Friggin' crazy.
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:56.079
So they sound this song feels quite like funky, a little hip hop y, and there's kind of this vintage kind of gloss over it that sounds like because they've sampled all this stuff, it sounds like the samples.
00:43:56.480 --> 00:43:59.679
So, yeah, this is since I left you, uh, the the first song on their first.
00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:00.880
First record.
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:24.960
Very shimmery, isn't it?
00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:26.000
Very shimmery.
00:44:26.159 --> 00:44:28.719
Each of those different sounds is probably from a different thing.
00:44:28.800 --> 00:44:33.519
That's not they're all like layered and built in together to create that sound.
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:34.400
That's cool.
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:40.159
So that gives you a kind of a basis to start from when the uh when you're talking about the Avalanches.
00:44:40.480 --> 00:44:44.159
If you've heard any song of theirs, though, it's probably Frontier Psychiatrist.
00:44:44.239 --> 00:44:46.559
It's the one that was kind of, I suppose, the biggest.
00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:49.760
Uh it it got the highest and the hottest 100 uh the year that it came out.
00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:52.960
It can't it's come up a couple of times in the you know the all-time lists.
00:44:53.519 --> 00:44:56.639
Um the it is weird.
00:44:56.719 --> 00:44:57.199
I won't lie.
00:44:57.280 --> 00:44:57.679
This is weird.
00:44:57.760 --> 00:44:59.199
This song is weird, it's off kilter.
00:44:59.360 --> 00:45:04.639
Uh it's very it's part orchestral, it's part western, it's part hip hop.
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:16.800
It's kind of like the vocal sample comes from this like comedy routine, and then there's like horse neighing and like gunshots, and all of this they kind of pack into one song, and it is weird, but it does work, and it's it's kind of funky.
00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:25.360
So it's a real journey, but stick to it because it's just it just kind of all pan about So yeah.
00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:27.679
This is a frontier psychiatrist.
00:45:33.280 --> 00:45:34.559
That boy needs therapy.
00:45:34.960 --> 00:45:36.960
Psycho somatic, that boy needs therapy.
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:39.280
Psycho-somatic, that boy needs therapy.
00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:56.400
That boy boy needs therapy.
00:45:56.800 --> 00:45:58.880
It's it keeps you guessing the whole way through.
00:45:59.119 --> 00:46:02.400
It feels like a bit of a movie score almost, like at the end of the credits.
00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:02.880
Yeah.
00:46:03.119 --> 00:46:08.400
And I think the thing is a lot of that came out, a lot of the the the samples come out of movies and stuff like that.
00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:09.920
So it feels cinematic at times.
00:46:10.320 --> 00:46:15.360
And the way they stitch together to feel like that kind of hip-hop, like the the beat that drives it through.
00:46:15.679 --> 00:46:16.239
Very cool.
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:20.480
Sam, that that was their they were both of their debut records.
00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:20.960
Okay.
00:46:21.119 --> 00:46:35.840
Uh, and then 16 years later, they came back on the scene with their follow-up, the uh Warflower, and it is still very much based in like samples and the same kind of vibe, but they'd built the cred, so they had some insane collaborators on the second record.
00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:40.880
They had Kevin Parker, they had Father John Misty, they had Torah Moi, they had Danny Brown, they had MF Doom.
00:46:41.280 --> 00:46:48.000
A little bit more disco, a little bit more dance, this record, but still pretty much like kind of like hip-hop-y psych sound at the core of it.
00:46:48.159 --> 00:46:50.639
Um, this track is called Frankie Sinatra.
00:46:50.960 --> 00:47:00.719
It features Danny Brown and MF Doom, and it kind of feels like gorillas in the way that like the production and the vocal line don't necessarily match, but they do the way that they've produced it.
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:07.199
If you listen to both individually, you'd be like, there's no way they're putting these together, but it kind of works when they've matched it up.
00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:07.760
Okay.
00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:33.519
That's the puppy cup I read.
00:47:35.519 --> 00:47:37.599
It's like a Scooby-Dooby-doo.
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:40.079
It gave me Scooby-Doo vibes.
00:47:40.320 --> 00:47:41.119
Rut roll.
00:47:41.599 --> 00:47:42.400
Rut roll.
00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:44.159
I can't do a Scooby-Doo voice.
00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:47.280
We that kind of my my voice is too far for that one.
00:47:49.119 --> 00:47:49.920
It was cool though.
00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:52.239
It was very like um spooky island.
00:47:52.400 --> 00:48:04.559
A bit spooky island, a bit like uh, I think if you listen to some of those like the the songs of like uh um plastic beach by uh gorillas, like that kind of same, same general energy.
00:48:04.800 --> 00:48:07.360
Um I just before, can I just rudely interrupt?
00:48:07.599 --> 00:48:08.400
You absolutely can.
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:12.079
Land of a million drums by Outcast on the Scooby-Doo soundtrack.
00:48:12.239 --> 00:48:16.000
Oh, in the land of no right to go that hard.
00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:19.039
I think the Scooby-Doo soundtrack in general kind of slapped hard.
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:27.840
Bring back 2000 soundtracks like Scooby-Doo soundtrack, fuck me, uh, Digimon soundtrack, Tarzan soundtrack.
00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:29.360
Not as good as the Lion King soundtrack.
00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:31.599
Okay, we're gonna have shut the camera up.
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:32.719
We're about to fight.
00:48:32.960 --> 00:48:34.320
Set up the octagon.
00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:39.920
I thought the debate, the debate table, mass debate.
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:43.519
Uh Sam, their fourth album uh dropped in 2020.
00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:46.159
And I won't lie, it was the middle of COVID, it kind of slipped under my radar.
00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:50.800
But uh this album, there was a lot less kind of like sampling, like mass sampling.
00:48:50.960 --> 00:49:04.800
What they kind of did was they they wrote a heap of music and then chopped up their own music a lot of the time, and then used some other samples, like external samples within that, but then sort of like had more control over exactly how the samples played because they played a fair a fair chunk of it.
00:49:04.960 --> 00:49:07.360
They had again some ass, some massive uh collaborators.
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:13.119
They had Blood Orange, MGMT, Leon Bridges, Johnny Ma from the Smiths, Denzel Carey, Rivers Cuomo from Weezer.
00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:13.519
Yep.
00:49:13.760 --> 00:49:14.719
A lot of people.
00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:20.960
Uh, and it was a bit more big, ambient, like thematically big, if you know what I mean.
00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:21.280
Yep.
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:23.360
So this song is called The Divine Chord.
00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:25.360
It features uh MGMT and Johnny Ma.
00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:26.239
Management.
00:49:26.480 --> 00:49:28.000
Yes, yes, the management indeed.
00:49:28.159 --> 00:49:35.199
Uh it's kind of there is a uh like one main sample, which is from the 60s, a girl group called the Sherelles and the track Love That Really Counts.
00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:42.159
Um, but then the you can kind of really tell how they've evolved that sampling approach to like sound more holistic instead of like choppy.
00:49:42.400 --> 00:49:43.599
Hit me with it.
00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:14.719
Dreamy.
00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:16.400
Dreamy, ambient.
00:50:17.440 --> 00:50:17.840
I liked it.
00:50:18.320 --> 00:50:19.280
Vibey.
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:26.000
Finally, Sam, the last one off their upcoming record, uh, which is gonna drop soon, no bad memories.
00:50:26.079 --> 00:50:27.760
I think it drops like in a week or two.
00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:29.679
Uh, I've brought a couple of these to the show before.
00:50:29.760 --> 00:50:32.079
I think I might have even brought this song to the show before.
00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:36.639
Um, but they've they've got already they've got some pretty big names on the uh the collaborator list.
00:50:36.800 --> 00:50:42.239
So uh I brought Blue Shadow uh from the record for with Karen O from the Yeah Yeahs.
00:50:42.320 --> 00:50:50.639
Yep uh every single weekend with Jamie XEX feels like it could have been on Jamie X's Jamie XX's, not XEX, Jamie XX's in colour solo record.
00:50:50.880 --> 00:51:05.519
But this one uh is called Together and it kind of it's a full circle moment, I think, because it's a it's a hyper pop song, and hyper pop, you know, it has that real choppy every genre all in one kind of sound because it's meant to be like the internet, it's meant to be that you have access to everything all at once.
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:15.519
And I think they've brought in some some collaborators here that do hyper pop production, and they've played it with the avalanches already doing that same kind of style.
00:51:15.679 --> 00:51:17.039
So this is called Together.
00:51:17.199 --> 00:51:19.920
It's um I'll just you know what?
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:21.280
I'm just gonna let it do the talking.
00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:23.760
I think you actually might get around this.
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:24.960
ADHD.
00:51:54.719 --> 00:52:00.800
And I can have some red I'm so confused.
00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:03.119
I was like hard drop.
00:52:03.280 --> 00:52:03.440
No.
00:52:03.760 --> 00:52:03.920
Yeah.
00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:04.880
Torshuba.
00:52:06.000 --> 00:52:07.199
We love a brand placement.
00:52:07.280 --> 00:52:11.039
So yeah, Avalanches are playing it on the banks in well, March next year.
00:52:11.119 --> 00:52:17.039
And I think we gotta get down there because the way that they bring these songs to life with the samples, with the live stuff, the live band, incredible.
00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:18.559
So tickets are on sale now, Sam.
00:52:18.639 --> 00:52:20.159
Um get in and get get clicking.
00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:21.280
Don't make me dance.
00:52:21.440 --> 00:52:22.639
Oh, you'll be dancing.
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:24.320
Don't tell me what to do.
00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:27.039
I refuse to dance at shows.
00:52:27.119 --> 00:52:28.400
It's just not my thing.
00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:30.719
But I appreciate the education, Maxwell.
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:31.119
Thanks.
00:52:31.199 --> 00:52:32.800
Uh class is over, by the way, Sam.
00:52:33.039 --> 00:52:33.360
Thank you.
00:52:33.599 --> 00:52:37.039
And thank you, students, for being patient with us.
00:52:37.360 --> 00:52:39.599
Uh, what about more autistic episodes this week?
00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:41.039
A bit everywhere, a bit all over the shop.
00:52:41.280 --> 00:52:42.400
A bit ADHD.
00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:44.079
Any final thoughts for the people?
00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:46.639
Get amongst it.
