Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, no. Le Leo sent a lot? CD, isn't it. But actually in the background, I've got all my! I got loads of boxes here

11
00:01:16.870 --> 00:01:17.750
Andrew's iPhone: because I'm

Andrew's iPhone: I'm moving again, or I'm moving my records again. So moving house in a couple of weeks, and I've I'm boxing them up and about halfway through, and

13
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:28.849
Andrew's iPhone: it makes you think like.

14
00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:49.159
Alternate Line: why do I do this? Do you know, Andrew, probably other people in your life, probably quite close to you see that I'm definitely not moving again. Yeah, I can see. A couple of Mckean home chips, boxes.

15
00:01:49.220 --> 00:01:53.809
Andrew's iPhone: cardboard boxes there for? Yeah, a rather large number of oven chips. And I'm just wondering.

16
00:01:53.830 --> 00:01:57.409
Alternate Line: do you put away all those oven chips or just boxes of your

17
00:01:57.510 --> 00:02:03.500
Andrew's iPhone: boxes of Yor, yeah, absolutely class classic moving materials.

00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:06.640
Andrew's iPhone: But yeah, I'm I'm so

19
00:02:06.880 --> 00:02:12.029
Andrew's iPhone: running water. I could do with some I could do with somebody eating some more of, and chips. So give me some more boxes. So

20
00:02:12.310 --> 00:02:37.129
Alternate Line: Andrew.

21
00:02:37.130 --> 00:02:43.870
Alternate Line: and it to this week I can confidently. Say, that's the case. It's not always the case. But you know, that's life in it, weans and stuff.

22
00:02:44.060 --> 00:02:45.140
Alternate Line: And

23
00:02:45.190 --> 00:02:52.849
Alternate Line: so yeah, it's a good. It's a good week to be back pod casting, I think, back at it again, and you have brought in

24
00:02:52.920 --> 00:02:54.760
Alternate Line: a very

25
00:02:54.830 --> 00:03:03.099
Alternate Line: eclectic, geographically eclectic, if nothing else. Selection tunes this week. And so some interesting stuff up on the slate

26
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:11.809
Andrew's iPhone: definitely. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, I didn't. It wasn't deliberately done that way. But I noticed that once I'd compelled the 5 tracks that there's 5 tracks, 4 continents

27
00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:17.569
Andrew's iPhone: involved here. So yes, so you're right. It's geographically eclectic. And musically, all over the map as well.

28
00:03:17.660 --> 00:03:24.339
Alternate Line: Yeah, when you text me that almost replied instantly, with, by only 4 continents. But then so

29
00:03:24.740 --> 00:03:30.170
Andrew's iPhone: yeah, once, once you've gone that far, you should probably just do 5 and 5, shouldn't you? But

30
00:03:30.410 --> 00:03:34.040
Andrew's iPhone: never mind, what's our missing continent? What we're not got?

31
00:03:34.790 --> 00:03:44.369
Andrew's iPhone: There's a few we've not got, Asia. We've not got South America. Hmm. let's meet one of our. We haven't got

32
00:03:45.510 --> 00:03:46.610
Alternate Line: Pangaea.

33
00:03:48.730 --> 00:04:02.979
Alternate Line: That's a super content, anyway. Okay, so we've got some interesting stuff on this late this week. Let's just quickly introduce ourselves, and and then we'll let's just go on with it, shall we?

34
00:04:03.780 --> 00:04:09.420
Andrew's iPhone: Yep, absolutely. So. My name is Andrew. I buy records and write about them on Instagram at Kid A. GH. 86

35
00:04:10.180 --> 00:04:15.610
Alternate Line: andrews. Instagram is the best. Instagram is the purest Instagram, I would say.

36
00:04:15.860 --> 00:04:25.560
Alternate Line: my name is Ian. I'm in Glasgow band. The deadline shakes, and you can find us on all the social media platforms at Deadline shakes

37
00:04:26.210 --> 00:04:32.239
Alternate Line: lovely stuff. So it's been a busy couple of weeks in our lives, hasn't it? You're getting ready to move?

38
00:04:32.330 --> 00:04:41.900
Alternate Line: I've been dan things, you know, doing stuff. Keep myself busy. It's nice to sit down on my chair and listen to some music with you, Andrew.

39
00:04:42.310 --> 00:04:53.920
Andrew's iPhone: What's up always, man always. Yeah. So we've got 5 new tracks this week from like Amazon, Dafreek. Brittany, Howard. Dina Ogan.

40
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.699
Andrew's iPhone: Grandaddy and Yurunda.

41
00:04:57.140 --> 00:05:16.420
Alternate Line: So yeah. So so yes, geographically over the map. There's gonna be some really dodgy pronunciation just apologize in advance for that. I thought. The the Amazon. We flourish there.

42
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.360
Alternate Line: Oh, well,

43
00:05:19.420 --> 00:05:35.590
Alternate Line: right. Okay. I mean, I'm not much better than you. I don't know why I like have so assumed that some terrible lesson. Right, this first track is up. I'm just gonna cover. It's buying up right? So let's just listen to it right now. Don't wanna wait any longer.

44
00:05:35.880 --> 00:05:43.160
Alternate Line: This would be the Amazon dietriq. I believe I put on a French accent there. so

45
00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:47.809
Alternate Line: don't know if that'll help or not. Rachel, give it abash. This is music dance.

46
00:05:48.370 --> 00:05:49.370
Alternate Line: Muso.

47
00:05:50.910 --> 00:05:55.789
Andrew's iPhone: Miso. Yep, Muso dance. So yeah, it means women's dance in African.

48
00:05:57.270 --> 00:06:00.320
Alternate Line: Okay? Alright, let's go for it.

49
00:06:11.470 --> 00:06:18.090
A whoo, hey. Julian?

00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.860

65
00:08:00.610 --> 00:08:03.750

No, no, so a

I know somebody da I know. No, papa. I don't a

70
00:08:50.890 --> 00:08:52.530

IE. I think I will saw ea ea

72
00:09:13.970 --> 00:09:18.160
the E. Nothing that will solve the

73
00:09:23.380 --> 00:09:24.270
Musa.

74
00:09:32.160 --> 00:09:45.619
Alternate Line: Well, you're not. Gonna you're not gonna hit a more. I high energy piece of music anywhere this week as Muso dance by the Amazon. The freak. That is.

75
00:09:45.810 --> 00:09:50.380
Alternate Line: that is a banger. That's how I described it before, and that's what I'm sticking with. I'll see you.

76
00:09:51.470 --> 00:09:57.199
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah. Can't see fair than that. Yeah. As soon as the hardest track it had to be the opener this week. Just

77
00:09:57.230 --> 00:09:59.470
Andrew's iPhone: she say, Hi! And it just brings the party.

78
00:09:59.540 --> 00:10:01.730
Andrew's iPhone: Thanks.

79
00:10:02.910 --> 00:10:05.710
Alternate Line: So the the lyrics are like a sort of

80
00:10:05.740 --> 00:10:18.799
Alternate Line: female empowerment. Vibe. Is that that sort of going there? I mean, I know neither of us speak any of the variety of African languages that are spoken on that track there. But one of the Linux, I find, was African women rise up, which I think may be the codes line.

81
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:21.000
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah.

82
00:10:21.310 --> 00:10:32.719
Andrew's iPhone: yeah, II was. I was trying to find the full translation of it. II couldn't find it. But so I like to know the old. But yeah, it's you. Can. You could, even though you don't know what it is. You can tell that it's very kind of empowering

83
00:10:32.810 --> 00:10:38.069
Andrew's iPhone: and and righteous. And yeah, just life, performing, I think.

84
00:10:38.250 --> 00:10:42.760
Andrew's iPhone: so late. Amazon, the freak

85
00:10:42.900 --> 00:10:45.340
Andrew's iPhone: contemporary world music, supergroup.

86
00:10:45.660 --> 00:10:55.989
Andrew's iPhone: collective. So so they they formed in Mali in 2015, and they featured various and African illuminaries overtime.

87
00:10:56.060 --> 00:11:00.440
Andrew's iPhone: and so previous members have included Angelique, Kija.

88
00:11:00.860 --> 00:11:03.559
Andrew's iPhone: Miriam from amateur medium

89
00:11:03.900 --> 00:11:11.800
Andrew's iPhone: and as well as Rookia Kony as well. There's some of the previous ones that people may have heard of before.

90
00:11:12.250 --> 00:11:23.400
Andrew's iPhone: And and yeah, as I say, it's like a kind of a car kind of amorphous collective. That's kind of changing over time. and they are named after

91
00:11:23.930 --> 00:11:28.629
female elephant hunting group and military regiment from the seventeenth century.

92
00:11:28.850 --> 00:11:35.300
Andrew's iPhone: And it was it was like, a yeah, just just had had this kind of cultural significance to them.

93
00:11:35.550 --> 00:11:41.699
Andrew's iPhone: And this is the open track of their third studio record that's just been released.

94
00:11:41.880 --> 00:11:51.250
Andrew's iPhone: And this is the title track Muso Dance and it's released on the real world records which release a lot of this really cool international stuff.

95
00:11:52.340 --> 00:11:53.390
Andrew's iPhone: and

96
00:11:53.970 --> 00:12:10.589
Andrew's iPhone: it was produced by Jack Knife Lee, who, who's kind of bit, is kind of best known for his work with kind of likely to do Rem as well as snow patrol. So he's he's somebody who I've kind of struggled with in the past in terms of his production. He's got this very kind of

97
00:12:10.940 --> 00:12:13.669
distinctive, very bright, very big.

98
00:12:14.340 --> 00:12:22.759
Andrew's iPhone: almost this kind of obtrusive gleam to everything that he does is just everything designed to pop on the radio. And and II find it a bit much

99
00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:29.279
in in general. But I think it kind of works here because they're going for that kind of 80 s. Electro

100
00:12:29.660 --> 00:12:32.349
Andrew's iPhone: vape. I think it kind of works.

101
00:12:32.430 --> 00:12:41.799
Alternate Line: I think the whole. The whole composition of this is just that it's like a mesh mash of things. Isn't it like so traditional African harmonizing?

102
00:12:41.920 --> 00:12:43.180
Alternate Line: And

103
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:59.260
Alternate Line: and then you've got this sort of ultra modern, like Cynthy, you know, Glitche in a bass sound? And then, like you say, big bass beats over the top of it as well. So is this sort of a blend of a variety of different things. But II think I think it comes together quite well

104
00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:10.200
Andrew's iPhone: it does, it does. And so Jackknife Lee had done a record with Rokiakoni in 2022, which was a really cool record.

105
00:13:10.550 --> 00:13:14.499
Andrew's iPhone: And I think this is just a kind of like a continuation of that, really.

106
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:34.599
Andrew's iPhone: And yeah, I think you're right. This this will come together, and the verses are are solid, I would say. Just kind of plenty of base. Some licent fronts, very cool kind of vocal gesticulations all the way through like whoops and the hollows and things really cool. But yeah, it's all about quotas for me. It's just a kind of

107
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:40.690
Andrew's iPhone: jubilant energy rush of a chorus that just works every time that it comes back in.

108
00:13:41.880 --> 00:13:44.199
and in terms of the album. It's

109
00:13:44.820 --> 00:13:52.090
Andrew's iPhone: it's a decent album, I'd say it gets a little bit exhausting. Listen to it! Oh, my God! I don't know if that is least production for me, or if it's just

110
00:13:52.430 --> 00:14:03.009
Andrew's iPhone: a bit too much of a good thing, maybe, but and I think because this is the title track and the opening track. It kind of sets a standard and sets a tone that never quite reaches those heights

111
00:14:03.140 --> 00:14:18.550
Andrew's iPhone: again for me. But if if you're in the mood for something that's gonna of step, you should definitely check this album out me, and my son's had a really good time, just kind of dancing around loving room to listen, and

112
00:14:18.610 --> 00:14:27.409
Andrew's iPhone: and that that chorus was just sending them a bit cocker hoop they were just. It was a cool moment for us, this weekend.

113
00:14:27.580 --> 00:14:37.030
Alternate Line: the lads at all about the female empowerment as they pop a bit good for them. Good for them. Yeah. So it's it's like I said, this

114
00:14:37.430 --> 00:14:45.350
Alternate Line: 4 African languages that I can. I've been reading about here. Bambara phone. Betty and Moody

115
00:14:45.410 --> 00:14:52.130
Alternate Line: appear to be the appear to be the languages. So II think a translation might be tricky.

116
00:14:52.180 --> 00:15:02.009
Alternate Line: but it's clear enough like it's clear enough what the what they're all about. II shout out to the the record sleeve as well. The record sleeve reminds me a little bit of

117
00:15:02.190 --> 00:15:06.449
Alternate Line: Queen's Bohemian, Roddy, or like the Beatles for sale. You know there's sort of 4

118
00:15:06.640 --> 00:15:13.109
Alternate Line: 4 portraits but this one is like obviously a bit different from from those

119
00:15:13.210 --> 00:15:15.870
Andrew's iPhone: because it features these like sort of

120
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:17.430
Alternate Line: really like

121
00:15:17.530 --> 00:15:21.980
Alternate Line: lavishly dressed, like lavish jewelry.

122
00:15:22.170 --> 00:15:28.189
Alternate Line: of the of the 4 ladies in front cover, and it it just it just works, and they just look like

123
00:15:28.800 --> 00:15:43.020
Alternate Line: They do look like a super drip. I think it does have that kind of like edge of glamour and fun and and and stuff as well. So yeah, I love the whole package. The the whole thing is just is just is great as far as I'm concerned.

124
00:15:46.210 --> 00:15:48.199
Andrew's iPhone: Well done, good selection

125
00:15:48.490 --> 00:15:51.120
Alternate Line: hit selection. So what now?

126
00:15:53.560 --> 00:15:57.599
So next up. We've got the return of Britney Howard.

127
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:08.419
Andrew's iPhone: and probably best known for her work with Alabama sheiks. as well as playing bass in Thunderbitch. They're brilliantly tight with Thunderbitch.

128
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:11.420
Andrew's iPhone: And this is

129
00:16:11.540 --> 00:16:17.699
Andrew's iPhone: her just released. Second solo record that's been getting really good reviews.

130
00:16:18.270 --> 00:16:21.210
Alternate Line: And with good reason, I would suggest, Yeah.

131
00:16:23.110 --> 00:16:30.770
Alternate Line: well, let's have a listen to it. He didn't pick up on my very clever joke when I said, What now? Cause that is, of course, the name of the record.

132
00:16:31.900 --> 00:16:35.430
Alternate Line: or maybe I didn't just so shit. You just decided not to pick me up on. It

133
00:16:35.500 --> 00:16:46.280
Andrew's iPhone: slides very

134
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:52.650
you for feeling.

135
00:16:55.530 --> 00:16:58.210
Don't do what I

136
00:16:59.800 --> 00:17:02.109
want to cause you trouble.

137
00:17:04.790 --> 00:17:06.389
Questions in your

138
00:17:08.790 --> 00:17:11.949
I'm here to.

139
00:17:12.980 --> 00:17:16.119
It's painful. This was this

140
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:24.880
on. not

141
00:17:32.190 --> 00:17:32.860
at home.

142
00:17:33.940 --> 00:17:38.570
It only bye. me

143
00:17:42.500 --> 00:17:44.850
won't die in.

144
00:17:48.200 --> 00:17:51.480
Is that anymore

145
00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:59.350
to stay. Don't know what for. I can't help it. Always

146
00:18:01.450 --> 00:18:04.780
up in sins. I'm new

147
00:18:06.420 --> 00:18:09.019
stay because it's

148
00:18:11.080 --> 00:18:13.830
history and try.

149
00:18:17.870 --> 00:18:22.860
He's I've got to get love. You.

150
00:18:30.460 --> 00:18:32.319
me spread

151
00:18:37.090 --> 00:18:38.240
me

152
00:18:39.810 --> 00:18:42.500
some one day it all

153
00:18:44.620 --> 00:18:45.420
the

154
00:18:47.000 --> 00:19:07.000
 get used to what danger

155
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:11.940
would be.

156
00:19:13.590 --> 00:19:16.660
Don't want no fault for your potential

157
00:19:18.230 --> 00:19:19.520
mistake in.

158
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:27.020
See you sentence that can.

159
00:19:28.520 --> 00:19:29.990
It is a good

160
00:20:20.290 --> 00:20:22.219
Alternate Line: okay. So we got the

161
00:20:22.370 --> 00:20:32.200
Alternate Line: fantastic Britney Howard with with what? Now? There, from the album of the same name, some bells ringing behind him. Here, I'm gonna just resolutely continue

162
00:20:33.120 --> 00:20:34.960
Alternate Line: another one.

163
00:20:35.370 --> 00:20:48.979
Alternate Line: okay, so I like, I like that. But I like that with some reservation. have a few reservations, but maybe, if you give us the give us a shake down of what we need to know about Britney first.

164
00:20:50.560 --> 00:20:56.029
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, no worries Em. So, as I say, as I was saying, she's an American

165
00:20:56.090 --> 00:20:58.379
musician from Athens, Alabama.

166
00:20:59.630 --> 00:21:04.279
best known for being lead vocalist, ribbon, guitarist, and prime songwriter of Alabama Sheikhs

167
00:21:04.670 --> 00:21:15.010
Andrew's iPhone: Em. And yeah, this is her second solo record. Em, her mum is white of English and Irish ancestry, and her father is African American.

168
00:21:15.120 --> 00:21:19.769
Andrew's iPhone: They grew up in a junk yard that was once burned down, due to a lightning strike.

169
00:21:20.150 --> 00:21:25.410
Andrew's iPhone: She learned to write poetry and play the piano from her older sister Jamie.

170
00:21:26.060 --> 00:21:31.660
Andrew's iPhone: who died from Brittano Blastiner in 1998.

171
00:21:31.780 --> 00:21:33.650
Andrew's iPhone: And so

172
00:21:34.150 --> 00:21:42.530
yep. So. So that's things that she kind of explored on her previous solo record. and which was a really cool record of the phone called Jamie.

173
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:44.150
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, Jim.

174
00:21:45.110 --> 00:21:52.269
and that that album was quite kind of a rough and raw record for her, and she was doing a lot of kind of

175
00:21:52.280 --> 00:22:03.549
Andrew's iPhone: experimentation in terms of the production. It was a self produced record, and she was kind of more interested in kind of groove and feel than than maybe kind of polished

176
00:22:03.950 --> 00:22:13.889
Andrew's iPhone: tracks, if you like, and there's kind of that kind of muffled pressed against the mic quality to it. And still there's really kinda cool thing where she was mixing instruments at different volumes and

177
00:22:13.990 --> 00:22:20.810
Andrew's iPhone: and that kind of thing, and it was just kinda continuing what I thought was really cool about the Alabama shake. Second record was called something color.

178
00:22:21.170 --> 00:22:27.220
which really kind of broadened out the pilot of what they were doing. Because, if you remember the the kind of

179
00:22:27.260 --> 00:22:39.579
Andrew's iPhone: the hype around Alabama sheets when they first came out, it was there was. There was a lot of people like saying, you know, that they're the best American band since the strokes and that kind of thing. And there was. There was a lot of kind of clamour for them

180
00:22:39.710 --> 00:22:44.670
Andrew's iPhone: at the time E. Even before they had an album out, and I think when the album came out. It had

181
00:22:45.100 --> 00:22:50.319
Andrew's iPhone: the first first up. She had good songs on it, but it was

182
00:22:50.360 --> 00:22:53.370
Andrew's iPhone: very, very retro in terms of its

183
00:22:53.730 --> 00:23:03.749
Andrew's iPhone: er presentation and production and everything, whereas I thought the second record was just a lot more kind of colourful and a lot more interesting. And then I think yes, she took that into

184
00:23:04.270 --> 00:23:06.590
Andrew's iPhone: her solo career as well hope

185
00:23:06.820 --> 00:23:15.930
and but but that that that album, Jamie it was. It was really kind of candid as well in terms of the way that she was talking about her family, her sexuality, a relationship with God.

186
00:23:16.220 --> 00:23:23.849
Andrew's iPhone: There was this pretty, incredible track called Goathead, where she was kind of telling this harrowing, true story, wherein her dad.

187
00:23:24.370 --> 00:23:31.670
Andrew's iPhone: who was a black man in our relationship with a white woman in Alabama, returned to his car to find the tire slashed in the goat's head on the back seat.

188
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:43.090
Andrew's iPhone: And it was just this kind of yeah, really kinda hard doing stark piece of music. It was almost like almost played like porchio repetage rather than the song, because it was incredible.

189
00:23:43.170 --> 00:23:45.080
So I don't think there's anything

190
00:23:45.170 --> 00:23:53.370
Andrew's iPhone: that kind of goes into that kind of detail in terms of that kind of autobiographical nature on this album. It's a little bit, maybe kind of more universal

191
00:23:53.670 --> 00:23:56.949
Andrew's iPhone: in terms, or maybe a bit more abstract sometimes as well.

192
00:23:56.990 --> 00:24:04.110
Andrew's iPhone: in terms of the way she kind of deals with things that have clearly gone in her life in the last kind of couple of years apart, kind of talking about like

193
00:24:04.320 --> 00:24:07.799
Andrew's iPhone: relationships and acceptance and that kind of thing.

194
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:12.690
Andrew's iPhone: And but I think this new one continues the idea of of

195
00:24:13.190 --> 00:24:18.089
Andrew's iPhone: being quite eclectic in terms of the influences and bringing in a lot of

196
00:24:18.360 --> 00:24:19.450
Andrew's iPhone: a

197
00:24:19.490 --> 00:24:24.290
Andrew's iPhone: yeah tones on the on the palate. So you've got like psychedelia in here.

198
00:24:24.490 --> 00:24:26.380
Dirty funk hair rock.

199
00:24:26.420 --> 00:24:33.670
Andrew's iPhone: It's kind of folk here more abstract moments as a bit of chipmunk soul as well. So this is kind of like high, like pitched up vocals.

200
00:24:33.770 --> 00:24:36.250
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, on one of the tracks, which is actually really cool.

201
00:24:36.330 --> 00:24:37.350
Andrew's iPhone: And

202
00:24:37.370 --> 00:24:41.439
so yes, and you heard a little bit that ambient interlude at the end? I think

203
00:24:42.630 --> 00:24:58.349
Andrew's iPhone: they have that the end of quite a few tracks, and I think it's designed to try and make the the jumps in in genre feel a little less jarring, a little less jolting. Yeah, I don't think it quite works, because they still feel jarring and jolting, but

204
00:24:58.750 --> 00:25:03.949
Andrew's iPhone: And all the way through she's really really good at at doing those different styles.

205
00:25:04.310 --> 00:25:22.090
Alternate Line: and the songs are robust enough that it doesn't really matter, in in my opinion. And I, yeah, I think the production this this time around is is a kind of step up as well, it. It feels a bit kind of slicker and a bit more radio friendly this time. Oh, that's definitely that's definitely like the production. The production on this one is like

206
00:25:22.200 --> 00:25:25.080
Alternate Line: really, really good. And we had a track from Jamie on

207
00:25:25.100 --> 00:25:42.819
Alternate Line: some time ago. I did a call and don't remember it making a massive impression on me. I just thought it was good like it didn't, didn't, didn't blow me away, or whatever. And the first my first lesson to this spot. Now, by by Brittany Herald, I thought, this is gonna this is gonna blow my socks off. And the more I listen to this

208
00:25:43.110 --> 00:25:48.839
Alternate Line: particular track I'm going to get more swept into it, because it has many, many of the things that I like, right? So it's like.

209
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:52.189
Alternate Line: it's pretty much a straightforward like rock

210
00:25:52.500 --> 00:26:09.920
Alternate Line: pop song, basically. It's got a kind of really, really interesting guitar sound, which is reminiscent of St. Vincent quite a lot. And it has like a touch of the Lenny Kravitz around it, where it's like got a kind of soulful

211
00:26:10.060 --> 00:26:22.889
Alternate Line: elements, although it's although it's basically a kind of and I like the like insistent bass guitar that's kind of pumping away in the background. Her vocal and guitar playing simultaneously is

212
00:26:23.010 --> 00:26:28.029
Alternate Line: amazing, like flat out fantastic, and I love when she's like sort of

213
00:26:28.270 --> 00:26:36.380
Alternate Line: it's not quite harmonizing because she's playing, basically singing and playing the same note at the same time. But when she does that, and and she goes down the neck as soon as

214
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:42.130
Alternate Line: so so so good and like you said, the production values really have come up a notch as well. So, like

215
00:26:42.510 --> 00:26:53.130
Alternate Line: every every sound on here is phenomenal. Best instrument on this, in spite of our amazing guitar playing is a voice which is almost like in the chorus. It's almost got a kind of like

216
00:26:53.470 --> 00:27:16.960
Alternate Line: a touch of like the sort of screamo kind of like stuff just to. She enters the chorus has a sort of mentally thing, and then, yeah, our voice can be sweet, and our voice can be all sorts of things as well. So it's really she's a bit of a contortionist, I think, when it comes to like musical styles, even on this fairly straightforward rocks, on the my only criticism of it.

217
00:27:17.330 --> 00:27:28.460
Alternate Line: And it's become apparent over multiple lessons. As this song is basically 4 min and it should be 3. It's just it needs this should be trimmed. I think there's a there's a section

218
00:27:28.910 --> 00:27:38.949
Alternate Line: towards the end which is particularly baggy, and I'm by the way, I'm not including the the bales at the end. I mean, that's that's just whatever right. But I mean the actual song itself.

219
00:27:39.040 --> 00:27:49.850
Alternate Line: the there's a section towards the end. After after a chorus, where there's just a sort of a guitar solo, but it's not front and centre. It's it's a kind of

220
00:27:50.270 --> 00:27:58.679
Alternate Line: I don't know. It just feels like it's just padding the track out a little bit, and I'm not really sure why feels like it should have a vocal over the top of it, or there should be like

221
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:05.009
Alternate Line: more complex guitar solo or more in your face moment of some kind, and it just kinda

222
00:28:05.030 --> 00:28:13.620
Alternate Line: plods along, and every time we get to that part of the song. No, I'm kind of like, because it sort of means the song is kind of over, but it hasn't stopped

223
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:16.940
Alternate Line: So it's like, it's a really interesting thing. It's like

224
00:28:16.970 --> 00:28:23.849
Alternate Line: the musicality of it is like 10 out of 10. But the actual sort of plotting out of

225
00:28:24.160 --> 00:28:40.800
Alternate Line: the song itself is more like sex at 10 or something. So it's quite a a weird. By the way, I do remember this reading system of 10 just came from. We've never said that for never gonna say again. But like, do I mean, it's like the the songwriting aspect of this is really good up to point.

226
00:28:41.220 --> 00:28:43.639
Alternate Line: And then someone someone judicious.

227
00:28:43.940 --> 00:28:45.600
Alternate Line: you know. Strange one.

228
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:46.840
Alternate Line: Yeah.

229
00:28:47.170 --> 00:28:50.369
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah. Someone. Somebody just said, right, it's a radio weather

230
00:28:50.570 --> 00:29:01.470
Alternate Line: chop. Yeah, chop it right there. You know. So those are those methods. I really enjoy it. I really enjoy it. And I'm gonna listen to the records. This is a follow up one for me, for sure.

231
00:29:01.490 --> 00:29:02.610
Alternate Line: And it.

232
00:29:03.430 --> 00:29:11.489
Andrew's iPhone: she would say, I guess I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry, Ian. She's she's got that. It's got plenty of attitude and a few energy.

233
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:19.949
Andrew's iPhone: this truck, and maybe that's part of that. Just kinda like how you know she does what she wants kind of like. Maybe she wants it to do it looser.

234
00:29:20.510 --> 00:29:21.950
Alternate Line: Well, my! My

235
00:29:21.980 --> 00:29:28.889
Alternate Line: pals will know that for the longest time my most attested musical genre is singer-songwriter.

236
00:29:28.950 --> 00:29:30.889
Alternate Line: because I just think like

237
00:29:31.020 --> 00:29:36.650
Alternate Line: II just find it so cringingly self indulgent like that one person would say.

238
00:29:36.830 --> 00:29:56.950
Alternate Line: I'm gonna sit here and I'm gonna play like the cord of Ge, followed by a minor, followed by C, followed by G again. And I'm gonna tell you about how much like I hate my mom, I mean, II just find it so like cringe inducing. And there's only very certain ones I can take any of.

239
00:29:56.970 --> 00:30:07.259
Alternate Line: So I find the whole sort of like I'm going to do it. I like attitude strange when you're in the entertainment business, because surely you're lettably trying to not just please yourself.

240
00:30:07.340 --> 00:30:09.730
And when it is just pleasing yourself.

241
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:17.830
Alternate Line: it is often very, very self indulgent and silly. you know, Stonehenge, and all that sort of stuff. So I

242
00:30:17.980 --> 00:30:29.870
Alternate Line: I don't know. I feel like I feel like, with just a judicious trim. This track could have just gone up a further notch. That section, this section of talk. It's not offensive, if any, if anything. That's kind of the problem, it's just the

243
00:30:29.980 --> 00:30:33.150
Alternate Line: you know, you know the section, I mean, towards the end of the track.

244
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:47.029
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, I think that's totally fair enough. And but yeah, I would definitely recommend checking out the album. And II like the fact that she. Now? She is like a a soul artist now

245
00:30:47.280 --> 00:30:55.429
Andrew's iPhone: as much as a rock artist, but she's a so artist in a very kind of modern way. She, you know she's not yucking out yo retro.

246
00:30:55.910 --> 00:31:01.610
Andrew's iPhone: you know, totally infall to the past. She is doing something new and and

247
00:31:01.720 --> 00:31:09.529
Andrew's iPhone: and interesting, and and quite diverse as well across across across her album. So yeah, I think she's an exciting artist as well.

248
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:12.879
Alternate Line: and I would but listen, I'd be doing myself and

249
00:31:12.970 --> 00:31:19.480
Alternate Line: everyone at this service if I didn't say that you've made an excellent point there. Which is, this is someone who's trying to take

250
00:31:19.780 --> 00:31:38.690
Alternate Line: desperate elements and do something new with them, because loads of times we'll have had, like people who are just, you know, producing something that is an identical photocopy of something that came out in the seventies, and I always say, that's really good. Why, like, what's the point like? What's what is this giving us? This is giving us something genuinely

251
00:31:38.780 --> 00:31:41.160
Alternate Line: different, genuinely new, I think.

252
00:31:42.620 --> 00:31:43.330
Alternate Line: Thank.

253
00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:50.030
Alternate Line: Hello.

254
00:31:55.100 --> 00:32:00.689
Andrew's iPhone: hey? Sorry. Yeah. I've I've yeah. I've been getting a lot that that whole section. I was just kind of cutting out a lot.

255
00:32:00.900 --> 00:32:04.949
or or you were cutting it for me. I don't know if if I was sending like those.

256
00:32:05.060 --> 00:32:10.560
Andrew's iPhone: No, no, I'm just hold on. I'll just pause it again right now we'll start again. Hold on!

257
00:32:13.100 --> 00:32:13.860
Alternate Line: Oh.

258
00:32:16.490 --> 00:32:18.160
Alternate Line: looking out right.

WEBVTT

1
00:00:05.640 --> 00:00:09.860
Andrew's iPhone: Absolutely, absolutely. And so shall we go into the next trick?

2
00:00:09.890 --> 00:00:14.800
Alternate Line: Yeah, man. So I think I've been left with the unfortunate job of pronouncing this track. Is that right?

3
00:00:16.810 --> 00:00:30.510
Alternate Line: If you have to, I'll I'll do. I feel like I feel like someone's got to, you know. I mean, someone's got to take this one on the general. Here we go. So this is Dina is gone with Jack. Vil ha! At

4
00:00:33.170 --> 00:00:36.269
Alternate Line: Marks out of 10 for that. Now we're writing things out of 10

5
00:00:37.710 --> 00:00:39.900
Andrew's iPhone: and yeah, 6 out of 10.

6
00:00:39.910 --> 00:00:41.299
Alternate Line: Oh, okay, fair enough.

7
00:00:42.060 --> 00:00:43.390
Alternate Line: But yeah, okay.

8
00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:48.520
Alternate Line: what about here we go.

9
00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:55.099
The

10
00:00:56.890 --> 00:00:57.570
A

11
00:00:59.700 --> 00:01:03.320
is so down alone.

12
00:01:06.100 --> 00:01:07.270
A.

13
00:01:09.100 --> 00:01:10.100
See

14
00:01:11.230 --> 00:01:13.940
you now.

15
00:01:19.970 --> 00:01:25.210
the a pain. a

16
00:01:27.320 --> 00:01:28.690
and

17
00:01:30.420 --> 00:01:32.370
nose do

18
00:01:34.010 --> 00:01:37.050
the

00:01:40.410 --> 00:01:41.200
a

20
00:01:42.970 --> 00:01:43.840
and

21
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:51.720
and

22
00:01:53.530 --> 00:01:54.390
a

23
00:01:59.470 --> 00:02:03.580
3 a.

24
00:02:05.990 --> 00:02:06.710
For

25
00:02:09.320 --> 00:02:13.430
we go. But

26
00:02:16.380 --> 00:02:17.240
go.

27
00:02:30.940 --> 00:02:31.610
sir.

28
00:02:33.100 --> 00:02:34.530
A.

29
00:02:36.290 --> 00:02:41.720
The oh.

30
00:02:43.100 --> 00:02:48.140
a man on a a down in

31
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:52.400
I

32
00:02:53.470 --> 00:02:57.650
a a

33
00:03:02.190 --> 00:03:02.900
oh.

34
00:03:03.900 --> 00:03:08.310
made a man a

35
00:03:12.630 --> 00:03:13.440
oh.

36
00:03:15.220 --> 00:03:18.640
hey? Made away.

37
00:03:25.940 --> 00:03:27.450
Hello!

38
00:03:31.530 --> 00:03:32.350
Okay.

39
00:03:36.260 --> 00:03:37.460
Ok.

40
00:03:41.830 --> 00:03:42.850
And

41
00:03:52.530 --> 00:03:53.520
the

42
00:03:57.340 --> 00:03:59.060
I'm

43
00:04:08.550 --> 00:04:11.240
Alternate Line: oh, yes, nice.

44
00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:12.820
Okay, so

45
00:04:12.850 --> 00:04:24.790
Alternate Line: meatballs Ikea Dame bars pewdiepie Abba. And now Dina Ugon are all things from Sweden. That's the list.

46
00:04:24.850 --> 00:04:29.660
Alternate Line: And I really like that. But I would struggle to see. It's like

47
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.090
Alternate Line: I struggle to say it is cool, is it? Is it cool?

48
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:34.110
Alternate Line: Is that cool?

49
00:04:36.380 --> 00:04:41.610
Andrew's iPhone: I think it is kind. It's kind of pushing into that into that kind of crank bin

50
00:04:41.730 --> 00:04:48.639
Andrew's iPhone: style of cool kind of international pop and genre blending

51
00:04:48.780 --> 00:04:51.650
Andrew's iPhone: thing, that kind of yeah kind of

52
00:04:52.350 --> 00:04:54.020
cool, cool kind of

53
00:04:54.190 --> 00:04:57.549
Andrew's iPhone: and lifestyle music, almost just something you can put on the background.

54
00:04:57.770 --> 00:05:12.110
Andrew's iPhone: And so I get in in terms of that is cool. II was wondering if you'd be. This is something that you were referring to when you're talking about. You know things that kind of vaping things from the past cause. This is very kind of seventies. Very kind of seventies, aor

55
00:05:12.150 --> 00:05:19.149
Andrew's iPhone: a kind of singer, songwriter stuff, I'm thinking things like. you know, Carole King, or the carpenters.

56
00:05:19.290 --> 00:05:21.140
Andrew's iPhone: and they destroyed

57
00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:27.560
Andrew's iPhone: Fleetwood Mac as well. Yes, so they they describe themselves as the bastard love child of Eric being Rakhine Fleetwood, Mac

58
00:05:27.870 --> 00:05:32.589
Andrew's iPhone: Turkish psych folk, singer, songwriters, Zelda

59
00:05:32.700 --> 00:05:36.370
Andrew's iPhone: and Swedish folk pop artist, Ted Garstadt.

60
00:05:36.460 --> 00:05:38.050
Alternate Line: Stay free and Ricky.

61
00:05:38.700 --> 00:05:53.369
Andrew's iPhone: Hi, I think, like certain tracks have a a bit of a kind of hip hop, beat some of the the drums and things. But yeah, if I if I it's kind of interesting that they put that at the front. I think that that's in kind of maybe

62
00:05:54.610 --> 00:06:07.699
Andrew's iPhone: maybe protesting a bit too much that, though kind of eclectic and cool, maybe. Well, you've you've mean English the same as I do right. Did you ever, when you're writing your undergraduate essays just like a few references, and that had nothing to do with in your written at all.

63
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.989
Andrew's iPhone: Oh, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely just just a

64
00:06:12.190 --> 00:06:24.899
Andrew's iPhone: feel feel the bread, you know. Just. But no, I think the article group and this is a track from there just released Album

65
00:06:25.650 --> 00:06:26.690
Andrew's iPhone: Orion.

66
00:06:26.870 --> 00:06:33.459
Andrew's iPhone: which is the third lp, and the third in as many years. And it's out on playgroup music.

67
00:06:33.530 --> 00:06:35.079
Andrew's iPhone: real quick, cool label.

68
00:06:35.280 --> 00:06:43.960
Andrew's iPhone: And yeah, they're kind of growing a larger fan base with each release. I would say so. The heel from Stockholm and then there's other members that are from Istanbul

69
00:06:44.020 --> 00:07:00.830
Andrew's iPhone: and Cali in Colombia as well. So so yeah. So I've got a quote here from the drummer. He says it's definitely a melting pot. We all have our own taste, but we all also have some common denominators as well. So so yeah, so they say, we hear music from all eaters and countries.

70
00:07:00.850 --> 00:07:04.899
Andrew's iPhone: and then they put it into into the music that they make.

71
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.650
Alternate Line: Yeah, as as quite as very kind of smooth.

72
00:07:09.010 --> 00:07:18.390
Andrew's iPhone: It's got got that kind of that Rado friendly sweetness to it. and the the overtracks on the record this time around. There's a kind of funkier

73
00:07:18.850 --> 00:07:28.510
Andrew's iPhone: lightness of touch to it. There's a little bit of kind of disco glitchiness to to some of the tracks as well. I've very nearly brought in a couple of tracks that I like. There's one called Debt lacquer.

74
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.649
Andrew's iPhone: and the title track as well, that I kind of

75
00:07:31.850 --> 00:07:40.589
Andrew's iPhone: examples of like a clipped disco ball funk thing that they do on this album. That is, that is kind of working as similarly into.

76
00:07:40.620 --> 00:07:50.350
Andrew's iPhone: But yeah, I just like. I like this track just just the that buttery bass, the sweetness of the back and vocals. And even though

77
00:07:50.470 --> 00:08:09.569
Andrew's iPhone: I don't know what they're singing, it does feel like it's got that kind of classic seventies pop exclusively. Vowels is what it sounds like. It's just all the way through.

78
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:26.409
Andrew's iPhone: Well, that that that's exactly why I gave you a 6 or 10 for pronunciation, because yours is really harsh. And and there was more left. But yeah, it's it's really interesting. They put together. Track is is obviously like

79
00:08:26.650 --> 00:08:30.169
Alternate Line: super super super smooth. But there's like one or 2

80
00:08:30.810 --> 00:08:44.910
Alternate Line: strange choices in here which I'm still kind of getting my head round. So one is like if you're listening in headphones somewhere like a way off to your left ear. Right is a tiny little acoustic guitar that's just insistently strumming

81
00:08:45.030 --> 00:09:05.100
Alternate Line: all the way through. And it's really, really noticeably like there. And I'm just thinking, why didn't they just kinda shuffle that in the middle and just blend it in smooth away with everything else. I don't know, is the answer. Not sure. And there is also, like a really discordant

82
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:06.590
Alternate Line: base note.

83
00:09:07.170 --> 00:09:15.289
Alternate Line: and near the near the first bridge, and it comes back again later on as well, and and it feels discordant. It feels deliberately discordant, of course.

84
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:19.000
Alternate Line: but for attractive, which is like super smooth like this.

85
00:09:19.150 --> 00:09:24.369
Alternate Line: It's just an interesting. It's an interesting choice. So they're obviously like

86
00:09:25.040 --> 00:09:30.189
Alternate Line: not pushing many boundaries. But they are looking in a variety of ways to think, to serve.

87
00:09:30.230 --> 00:09:33.829
Alternate Line: subvert a little bit with what they're doing.

88
00:09:34.150 --> 00:09:38.789
Alternate Line: So yeah, it's an interesting track. It has the most bizarre

89
00:09:39.040 --> 00:09:41.780
Alternate Line: covered up like maybe ever.

90
00:09:42.190 --> 00:09:43.759
Alternate Line: It's just so weird.

91
00:09:43.900 --> 00:09:49.840
Andrew's iPhone: I'll do my best right? So what we've got here is

92
00:09:50.530 --> 00:09:52.559
Alternate Line: It's a background of like

93
00:09:52.840 --> 00:10:03.290
Alternate Line: pink smoke or pink clouds, and with possibly the most illegible font ever. It just looks like someone scrawled it in cyberpunk.

94
00:10:03.430 --> 00:10:09.669
Alternate Line: And then you've got a sort of Victorian gentleman's portrait with a sort of green.

95
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:15.019
Alternate Line: you know, 3 piece suit with a green tie. but his face is as diamond

96
00:10:16.730 --> 00:10:20.339
Alternate Line: like a diamond, or like a glitterball.

97
00:10:20.710 --> 00:10:27.979
Andrew's iPhone: and I think it expresses something about the album's mix of dreaminess, formality, and fun.

98
00:10:28.050 --> 00:10:42.850
Alternate Line: I would say, Wow, okay. that you did a bit of job of like some of the opt that it just it just looks bizarre to me. I'm all for like bold. I really like bold album covers and all that sort of stuff record covers. I think that's a good thing to do.

99
00:10:43.010 --> 00:10:50.149
Alternate Line: but I would need like the supporting like blog, to explain what what the choice is ready. I just don't. Don't get this one.

100
00:10:51.970 --> 00:10:58.269
Alternate Line: That's the the out work. That's the track itself. I'm pretty much enjoying its smoothness, so I have to see.

101
00:11:00.530 --> 00:11:04.369
Good. Yeah, I think like they're one of those groups like, if this songwriter isn't

102
00:11:04.830 --> 00:11:09.000
Andrew's iPhone: as strong, then the material can feel a little bit kind of flimsy and faint, maybe.

103
00:11:09.300 --> 00:11:16.309
Andrew's iPhone: but when it's when it works like it does here, I think it's a real kind of starburst of yummy your candy and enjoy it.

104
00:11:16.710 --> 00:11:20.679
Alternate Line: Good metaphors, man, you bring in some strong metaphor work this evening.

105
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:28.160
Andrew's iPhone: Right? Okay. So now on to what we we would maybe call a sort of podcast favorite.

106
00:11:28.220 --> 00:11:36.150
Alternate Line: one of the records that one of this is like this is a band that I think when we started like sharing musical influences with each other.

107
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:48.110
Alternate Line: This is another one which we kind of hit and wait. Oh, you like that, too. II like that, too. Because, granddaddy, for all that, they're sort of like a sort of nd dialing, and have been for a long time

108
00:11:48.230 --> 00:12:00.059
Alternate Line: never really been that popular, you know. I don't know a lot of people who've really ever spent any time listening to granddaddy all that much. Not seen the tiny or whatever. But I mean the you know, there's just not massive.

109
00:12:00.140 --> 00:12:06.720
Alternate Line: So it's one of those ones where, when we, when we sort of like point to each other, meant. Oh, you like that as well. It's kind of like a little

110
00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:08.990
Alternate Line: club you're in in. In a way, I guess.

111
00:12:10.180 --> 00:12:16.690
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, definitely. So we've made passing to references, I think, to grandaddy on the podcast but we've not had an opportunity to talk about

112
00:12:16.890 --> 00:12:29.469
Andrew's iPhone: and some of the music before. Yeah, we've often like referenced them in relation to the the Holy Trinity of cosmic Americana that we've talked about before. There's happening there kind of turn in the millennium. So

113
00:12:29.520 --> 00:12:36.370
Andrew's iPhone: he had mercury of dessert for songs in 98, then the soft bulletin by the flame lips in 99,

114
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.929
Andrew's iPhone: and then a software slump, which was the second.

115
00:12:40.110 --> 00:12:54.310
Andrew's iPhone: a lp. From granddaddy and was just kind of rapturously received at the time people were saying it was the American, okay, computer and things like that. So it was was a really kind of big re. It was a big record, for, as you say, kind of people in the know

116
00:12:54.650 --> 00:13:16.449
Andrew's iPhone: guess kind of blog rock before blog rock. Maybe those kind of people would would be into it. But yeah, for it'd be cool to just have an opportunity to talk about them as a group as much as talk about this new record. Yeah, yeah. Well, let's let's give the record a shot, anyway. So this is you're going to be fine, and I'm going to hail by. Granddaddy

117
00:13:30.970 --> 00:13:32.899
was in a plane.

118
00:13:33.950 --> 00:13:36.029
nor a train

119
00:13:37.420 --> 00:13:40.700
barely. and above

120
00:13:44.750 --> 00:13:49.920
made it a all the same.

121
00:13:50.970 --> 00:13:55.859
and darling. and I'd done it for so

122
00:13:57.850 --> 00:14:01.450
over some somewhere

123
00:14:04.460 --> 00:14:06.849
up, broke down, and told

124
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.670
you're going to be.

125
00:14:16.730 --> 00:14:18.980
and I'm going you

126
00:14:28.020 --> 00:14:29.959
one year ago

127
00:14:31.830 --> 00:14:32.820
this day.

128
00:14:34.560 --> 00:14:35.329
and

129
00:14:36.670 --> 00:14:39.070
in a field

130
00:14:41.590 --> 00:14:43.510
he picked you up

131
00:14:45.160 --> 00:14:46.580
new tries

132
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:51.880
senseless still. E.

133
00:14:55.050 --> 00:14:56.280
It's been a bad

134
00:14:58.530 --> 00:14:59.940
made it

135
00:15:01.880 --> 00:15:05.390
with only this last thing to tell

136
00:15:08.870 --> 00:15:10.949
you going to be

137
00:15:14.130 --> 00:15:16.270
I'm going to.

138
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:34.910
for

139
00:16:54.420 --> 00:17:08.080
well, we lost our own love, and now you're better off. But for me it's not going so well.

140
00:17:10.599 --> 00:17:12.900
you're going to be.

141
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:18.350
I'm going to

142
00:17:21.940 --> 00:17:23.829
going to be.

143
00:17:27.250 --> 00:17:29.230
I'm going to

144
00:17:33.520 --> 00:17:34.639
and be

145
00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:40.199
you.

146
00:17:58.470 --> 00:18:03.689
Alternate Line: So that's granddaddy with you're gonna be fine, and I'm going to hail.

147
00:18:03.770 --> 00:18:15.059
Alternate Line: and it's almost as if almost as if the last 24 years can just sort of melt away. And because it's it's very, very similar sonically to the software slump

148
00:18:15.190 --> 00:18:21.469
Alternate Line: although there are a few little tricks up the sleeve there that would say, are fairly

149
00:18:21.650 --> 00:18:22.759
Alternate Line: fairly different.

150
00:18:23.010 --> 00:18:26.830
and few influences that are that are kind of new. And

151
00:18:27.290 --> 00:18:30.700
Alternate Line: I really like it. I do really like it. I can not.

152
00:18:31.340 --> 00:18:33.670
Alternate Line: It's real good, real nice.

153
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:44.889
Andrew's iPhone: Good. Yeah. II think this is. This is a decent record. I think that this is this is a good granddaddy record.

154
00:18:45.190 --> 00:18:46.330
Andrew's iPhone: And

155
00:18:46.930 --> 00:19:06.340
Andrew's iPhone: see, I mean, II love the software slump. As I said that I thought it was like a real kind of major statement when it came out. Also, I think the the debut under the Western freeways, terrific as well, maybe a little bit under rated because of the software slump, maybe. But this feature some of the kind of biggest anthems, thinking that things like am 1 80, some of your kids.

156
00:19:07.020 --> 00:19:18.570
Andrew's iPhone: But there's a kind of feeling that since then, maybe Jason Little, both as part of granddaddy and solo has kind of maybe struggled to create another full length statement. That's kind of

157
00:19:18.660 --> 00:19:23.330
Andrew's iPhone: consistently inventive and engaging in the way that those records were.

158
00:19:23.370 --> 00:19:26.670
Andrew's iPhone: The third LP. Had its moments called Sunday.

159
00:19:26.760 --> 00:19:33.849
Andrew's iPhone: It was a little bit one paced but yes, th then they kind of went away for a bit. And then, since they've reformed.

160
00:19:34.320 --> 00:19:39.849
and more recently, they've kind of returned to the software slump. So they played that album in full on tour

161
00:19:40.540 --> 00:19:41.590
Andrew's iPhone: and

162
00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:54.050
Andrew's iPhone: as well as little releasing a re-recording of the record performed to the wooden piano titled the Software slump on a wooden piano. And so yeah, so so I think they're very much in that kind of zone again.

163
00:19:54.280 --> 00:20:20.129
Andrew's iPhone: And th th there's even like a little kind of video that accompanies this track on spotify, and it shows a little in the studio playing and working, but the camera pans down on the wall. And you've got a picture of the cover of the software slump. It says, almost as if he's just remained to give this. Yeah, if you like this, then you you might like that kind of thing is one of those kind of things.

164
00:20:20.230 --> 00:20:23.620
Andrew's iPhone: And so, yeah, so this is

165
00:20:24.320 --> 00:20:28.169
Andrew's iPhone: from the album that came out on Friday called Blue Wave.

166
00:20:28.350 --> 00:20:33.060
Andrew's iPhone: So it's pronounced wave, but it spell WAV as in like a wav

167
00:20:33.350 --> 00:20:43.689
Andrew's iPhone: file, I guess. And you've kind of got those kind of typical references to technology all the way through the record, but kind of updated for 2043 or 24.

168
00:20:43.820 --> 00:20:49.159
So there's references to apps and AI and contemporary office spaces.

169
00:20:49.830 --> 00:20:57.030
Andrew's iPhone: and as well as some of those kind of trademarked grandadie themes of alienation, isolation, heartbreak, and loneliness.

170
00:20:57.230 --> 00:21:11.419
Andrew's iPhone: About how technology, rather than connecting people, kind of leaves them feeling even more adrift. and how it kind of infiltrates and corrupts the landscape of the modern world. So it's all these kind of things that we've come to know and love about a granddaddy.

171
00:21:11.490 --> 00:21:15.630
Andrew's iPhone: But, as you say, th this time around there are a few like different tricks. So

172
00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:18.590
Andrew's iPhone: they've they've talked about this album having

173
00:21:19.440 --> 00:21:32.929
Andrew's iPhone: like a consistent mood and tone. And there's a really kind of strong country aspect to this record as well. There's always been a little bit of that to to his songwriting. But it's kind of front and centre here. If this is.

174
00:21:32.950 --> 00:21:39.389
Andrew's iPhone: they've said, this is a kind of country record, if you like. It does happen. A lot of his titles, Mcchurchors.

175
00:21:39.740 --> 00:21:59.230
Alternate Line: sorry for interrupting. Does even the title, like Blue Wave, suggests, like Blue Grass or new Wave, or new wave of blue grass, or something like that, and the the track, the tracks, a waltz as well, and apparently lots of the the tracks on the album are are waltzes, and so it's a mixture of them like bringing in the sort of

176
00:21:59.750 --> 00:22:12.829
Alternate Line: since the kind of massive scope sounding tracks with a kind of very lilting old fashioned old Americana. So they have always blended off for elements of

177
00:22:12.990 --> 00:22:16.700
Alternate Line: Indie and Americana really well, with the sort of

178
00:22:16.820 --> 00:22:33.599
Alternate Line: technology aspect of it. And that I mean, that is what the software slump is really all about, isn't it? What we're gonna do as human beings as we move into 20 first century. It was always it was always about that. I really like this. Try. II find, distract particularly poignant, because

179
00:22:34.110 --> 00:22:49.120
Alternate Line: obviously the the bass player founding member, Kevin Garcia died in like 2017, I think. I know. You know that I'm telling. I'm telling listeners. But II can't hear this track, and not sort of think

180
00:22:49.130 --> 00:23:07.219
Alternate Line:  you know that there's some kind of reminiscing about that kind of thing. There's just touchies and hints about about that sort of thing. Not so on. The nose is the as the the title of the song being exactly that type thing, but just other hints and lyrics generally and just, and just to, kinda

181
00:23:07.850 --> 00:23:26.189
Alternate Line: you know, slow, gentle nature of it. And the the ponderousness of the whole thing. And that's really what I love about grandad. They do like their their moments when everything just slows down, and it's almost as if nothing happens, you know, I think, with the opening track of

182
00:23:26.320 --> 00:23:39.250
Alternate Line: yeah opening track. So for some a simple he's done. He's the pilot. Has has a lot of space in it, and it's a lot of like a toy box piano that just kind of glitches and stops and then starts again. And then

183
00:23:39.300 --> 00:23:48.120
Alternate Line: obviously, then it expands and takes off. And it's universe. Yeah, so that they've always been good at knowing when to

184
00:23:48.190 --> 00:24:05.760
Alternate Line: when to stop. And obviously there's a there's a big pause in the middle of this track. We're sort of I don't actually know how long. It's 3, 4, 5 s elapse. and then it returns to the the gentle Walts. I've just got a nice nice build up section. I wouldn't quite describe it as soaring, but it's

185
00:24:06.020 --> 00:24:15.980
Alternate Line: going in that direction. and I know for all that, it's it's good to have. It's good to have granddaddy back that because they are real like unique

186
00:24:16.260 --> 00:24:22.359
Alternate Line: band, there's no one else who sounds exactly like this. Really, you know, there's people who do bits of this, but they've

187
00:24:22.590 --> 00:24:25.059
Alternate Line: kind of corner the market for

188
00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:31.130
Alternate Line: whatever exactly this is, it's it's their thing. And and they're really bloody good at it. I would say.

189
00:24:32.580 --> 00:24:41.169
Andrew's iPhone: yeah, definitely, I had a feeling about that kind of like short ambient section in the middle. I was wondering if that was kind of depicting purgatory in some way.

190
00:24:41.180 --> 00:24:47.810
Andrew's iPhone: Kind of. He's kind of on his way to hell, maybe in the kind of

191
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:52.340
Andrew's iPhone: when he reappears at the end. That's just about to enter.

192
00:24:52.740 --> 00:24:57.089
Andrew's iPhone: But maybe I'll just redo a bit too much into it. But

193
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:00.079
Andrew's iPhone: but yeah, I think that's something really kind of

194
00:25:00.380 --> 00:25:07.299
Andrew's iPhone: glacial, as I say, an elegant about this truck, and quite affecting as well.

195
00:25:07.580 --> 00:25:12.890
Andrew's iPhone: And and yeah, there's I mean, there's there's buckets, buckets of pedal steel all the way for the record

196
00:25:12.920 --> 00:25:15.989
Andrew's iPhone: as a quite a downcast and introspective record.

197
00:25:16.250 --> 00:25:28.100
Andrew's iPhone:  there's very few kind of upbeat moments. There's there's a track called water cooler. That's the kind of the closest that they've got to a Crystal Lake steel track on the record.

198
00:25:28.340 --> 00:25:30.040
Andrew's iPhone: But

199
00:25:30.230 --> 00:25:38.200
Andrew's iPhone: it's definitely the most complete project that they've that they've produced in some time. And yeah, as you see, it's good. It's good to have them back, and

200
00:25:38.210 --> 00:25:39.359
Andrew's iPhone: it's good for

201
00:25:39.660 --> 00:25:43.050
Alternate Line: yeah. Well, if they come to Glasgow she'll be sure we make an effort.

202
00:25:43.370 --> 00:25:45.650
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, I think that'd be nice, definite.

203
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:48.059
Alternate Line: good. Good. Good. Okay. So

204
00:25:48.520 --> 00:26:01.690
Alternate Line: that's good to podcast. Favorite. And now onto something that I don't think we've ever spoken about before. Unless I'm very much mistaken. This is Urenda urenda. Sorry with Yuan gang dugong.

205
00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:05.130
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, very good.

206
00:26:05.660 --> 00:26:11.450
Alternate Line: You're

207
00:26:11.570 --> 00:26:14.370
a a

208
00:26:16.690 --> 00:26:18.370

Hello a.

and

217
00:27:04.990 --> 00:27:08.410
and man

218
00:27:11.950 --> 00:27:15.580

219
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:22.170
a

220
00:27:23.190 --> 00:27:29.170
and and

221
00:27:31.900 --> 00:27:34.480
a

222
00:27:38.190 --> 00:27:39.450
a

you

a.

225
00:27:48.910 --> 00:27:52.590
And when I'm

226
00:27:55.410 --> 00:27:59.589
hang on, and we you know, I'm

227
00:28:31.080 --> 00:28:32.080
a

228
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:54.339
a

229
00:28:56.900 --> 00:28:57.759
and

230
00:29:07.840 --> 00:29:09.300
a

231
00:29:19.670 --> 00:29:20.430
and

232
00:29:33.080 --> 00:29:34.290
noodle.

233
00:29:37.980 --> 00:29:41.010
a one and

234
00:29:45.100 --> 00:29:46.120
a

235
00:29:47.190 --> 00:29:49.520
and a

236

have and

237
00:29:56.830 --> 00:29:58.300
a

238
00:30:02.700 --> 00:30:04.610
a man.

239
00:30:13.850 --> 00:30:16.190
How

240
00:30:22.940 --> 00:30:24.260
a

241
00:30:42.540 --> 00:30:45.709
Alternate Line: what's that? What all about, Andrew?

242
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:51.440
Alternate Line: See.

243
00:30:51.450 --> 00:30:56.210
Alternate Line: there are moments in that track right, which are like genuinely like

244
00:30:56.240 --> 00:31:06.159
Alternate Line: Sp, spiritually, like uplifting like it. You know the strings coming all this stuff. And then there's other points where there's just a Guy, just muttering right in my ears.

245
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:14.869
Alternate Line: and he's making the same. I can only describe as the same one that I make when I'm absent, mindedly making my music while I'm like building Lego or something.

246
00:31:15.020 --> 00:31:33.449
Alternate Line: I don't want to say anything like culturally insensitive here, because I know that like this is this is like happen additional language or whatever. But, like I just I don't know it's I don't have a clue it to make of that I feel uniquely unequipped to be distracted.

247
00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:41.170
Andrew's iPhone: Ii know what you're saying. II I've been

248
00:31:41.320 --> 00:31:49.010
Andrew's iPhone: really quite moved, listened to this this track over the last week or so and listened to the album as well.

249
00:31:49.210 --> 00:31:51.990
Andrew's iPhone: And so, yeah, I felt compelled to bring it in.

250
00:31:52.290 --> 00:31:53.830
And kind of.

251
00:31:54.050 --> 00:31:57.709
Andrew's iPhone: yeah, I just, I just think this this. This project kind of deserves some

252
00:31:58.060 --> 00:32:06.350
Andrew's iPhone: some attention to be so. I like to be shown on that show. You listen to something like that, and you go right.

253
00:32:06.380 --> 00:32:20.699
Andrew's iPhone: I know will confuse this idea this week, right? Has no idea about and it can't. It can't go.

254
00:32:21.120 --> 00:32:32.939
Andrew's iPhone: I've been really quite moved this week.

255
00:32:33.730 --> 00:32:35.450
Andrew's iPhone: yeah, it's kind of.

256
00:32:36.140 --> 00:32:46.109
Andrew's iPhone: I prepared some kind of closing thoughts so that maybe I should kind of start with that. I think that the album is fascinating. intellectually and emotionally stimulating.

257
00:32:46.430 --> 00:32:53.819
Andrew's iPhone: And just, it's got a kind of real depth to this, this, this track and this record and this project, I think.

258
00:32:54.010 --> 00:32:58.719
Andrew's iPhone: And yeah, I don't. I don't claim to understand

259
00:32:58.770 --> 00:33:01.909
Andrew's iPhone: at all. But I just find it really.

260
00:33:02.040 --> 00:33:04.130
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, as I say, just stimulating.

261
00:33:04.330 --> 00:33:08.990
Andrew's iPhone: That's what I guess that's that when it's something so like so ancient.

262
00:33:09.350 --> 00:33:14.839
Alternate Line: that is gonna like touch you in ways that you you actually can't really explain

263
00:33:14.890 --> 00:33:20.229
Alternate Line: because it's obviously a culture that well, to make the best of my knowledge, has no

264
00:33:20.510 --> 00:33:34.870
Alternate Line: like relevance to you, really like you're you're not like. So so you're kind of coming at it from a total like outsider's point of view, anyway, and I think often like, whenever we listen to anything like when we listen to like

265
00:33:35.010 --> 00:33:42.489
Alternate Line: African music, or we'll listen to even like, remember, we had that found sound project from like a Scottish island.

266
00:33:42.510 --> 00:33:46.009
Alternate Line: Remember that whatever that was forgotten, the name of that

267
00:33:46.310 --> 00:33:58.530
Alternate Line: to an extent. The first time you hear something like that, it can just be kind of funny, like it's just kind of jarring, cause you're just not expecting it. and like I don't know how they record the the vocals here. But I mean.

268
00:33:59.140 --> 00:34:04.429
Alternate Line: I mean, that guy is like super close to the microphone. He is like in your ear.

269
00:34:04.600 --> 00:34:06.579
Alternate Line: Yeah, so it's

270
00:34:06.700 --> 00:34:15.369
Alternate Line: but it's also it's got that kind of like real like vibrational thing going on, but he's like you can hear like, almost like the

271
00:34:15.889 --> 00:34:30.799
Alternate Line: What's the what's the big? What's the big Australian instrument? Did you do so? Almost got that kind of like reverberation sound in his voice. Absolutely. Yeah, very guttural. Well, the first sound that you hear is him taking the big and take a breath.

272
00:34:31.080 --> 00:34:33.199
Andrew's iPhone: And then it's like, Yeah, it's like he's like

273
00:34:34.659 --> 00:34:43.090
Andrew's iPhone: gurgling is gurgling his breath and gurgling his sounds all the way through it. But yeah, it's it has got that reverberational quality to it. You're right.

274
00:34:43.100 --> 00:35:11.059
Andrew's iPhone: and I think so. The record is is deliberately kind of jarring, and some of the tracks are very strange, I was gonna say, some of the tracks are very strange, as if this one isn't but some of the even more strange than this and experimental in terms of like discordant compositions and really kind of interesting percussive backing and on on certain tracks. And it's also got these kind of strange electronic production processes going on and on other tracks as well.

275
00:35:11.080 --> 00:35:16.759
Andrew's iPhone: whereas I think this one's a little bit more. That kind of is going for a kind of neoclassical

276
00:35:16.860 --> 00:35:19.239
Andrew's iPhone: vibe to it. It reminds me.

277
00:35:19.430 --> 00:35:32.880
Andrew's iPhone: Listen to it intently. This weekend I got kind of similar sensations listening to Gavin Breyer's Jesus blood never failed me yet. I don't know if you know that piece of music, it's like a really remarkable piece of music. Recommend people checking that out.

278
00:35:33.050 --> 00:35:34.230
Andrew's iPhone: And

279
00:35:35.300 --> 00:35:46.350
Andrew's iPhone: and yeah, just I think, as I say, I think it's it's deliberately kind of the idea. We haven't actually said what this project is. And so a Yolanda

280
00:35:46.370 --> 00:35:59.630
Andrew's iPhone: meaning. It means now, in the boot Chilla language, which is the ancient language of the aboriginal Australian people of Queensland. and it's appearing of Fred Leone

281
00:35:59.820 --> 00:36:10.190
Andrew's iPhone: and Samuel Punkhurst. Em. And Fred Leone is one of only 3. But Chilla song men. So he's actually

282
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:12.549
custodian of a language.

283
00:36:12.810 --> 00:36:24.259
Andrew's iPhone: Language. This is a language that's only spoken by a handful of people, apparently, and the idea of this project is the the trying to kind of keep the language alive

284
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:30.719
Andrew's iPhone: and through through this music, as well as kind of celebrating it and celebrating the kind of the historical culture

285
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:34.649
Andrew's iPhone: of of language as well. So it's thread.

286
00:36:35.010 --> 00:36:37.199
Andrew's iPhone: and who's working with?

287
00:36:37.390 --> 00:36:45.209
Andrew's iPhone: And Samuel Pankhurst, who's who's a really interesting multi instrumentalist and producer.

288
00:36:45.300 --> 00:36:52.380
Andrew's iPhone: Who he's he's he's done a lot of like kind of theatre work. He's done a lot of kind of musical projects.

289
00:36:52.970 --> 00:36:59.959
Andrew's iPhone: He! He's he's done the music with the the the fun group hiatus coyote

290
00:37:00.010 --> 00:37:03.490
Andrew's iPhone: as well as doing a

291
00:37:04.100 --> 00:37:10.739
Andrew's iPhone: instrumental orchestral work on the blue TV show, which was.

292
00:37:10.820 --> 00:37:19.629
Andrew's iPhone: Yeah, it's which is a wonderful show and uses music actually, in a really kind of interesting way. But yeah, he he's done some work on that.

293
00:37:19.810 --> 00:37:22.500
Andrew's iPhone: So so yes, so so

294
00:37:22.580 --> 00:37:34.580
Andrew's iPhone: it's an interesting pairing. And then they've got Jake Miller to mix it? Who's done work with Bjork and Arker and Eve's tumour. So kind of come bringing in this kind of like, you know.

295
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:36.879
Andrew's iPhone: cutting edge, contemporary

296
00:37:37.130 --> 00:37:48.279
Andrew's iPhone: electronica in there as well. And so so. Yes, so there are. There are certain tracks that kind of feel a little bit more like like something that you would get on on a arcor or biot record.

297
00:37:48.610 --> 00:38:01.560
Andrew's iPhone: And it's that kind of idea of mixing the traditional and the experimental, the organic and the synthetic. And and it's kind of exploring, interrogating.

298
00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:13.129
Andrew's iPhone: the aboriginal connection to the modern world and the natural world as well, and a way that that some of more recent work is done as well.

299
00:38:13.350 --> 00:38:17.600
Andrew's iPhone: And so yeah, it's, it's a really interesting project.

300
00:38:17.750 --> 00:38:22.150
Andrew's iPhone: And this this track kind of opens the record. And it's just

301
00:38:22.800 --> 00:38:30.280
Andrew's iPhone: a really lovely piece of music, I think, and just those increasingly sumptuous strings that come. And they just I just find them really, really moving.

302
00:38:30.770 --> 00:38:41.580
Andrew's iPhone:  so this tracks code. As you say, it's u one gone dugong. And are you familiar with the the dugong?

303
00:38:41.850 --> 00:38:43.840
Alternate Line: Is it an aquatic animal?

304
00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:58.589
Andrew's iPhone: It is. Yes, so it's an endangered sea mammal native to Australia. and I'd found an article with the headline, The Dugong. a huggable Sea Grass. Loving Sea cow has a new, best friend.

305
00:38:58.950 --> 00:39:06.900
Andrew's iPhone: Drones! And so so they're they're kind of endangered, and the idea is that they've they've

306
00:39:06.940 --> 00:39:10.000
Andrew's iPhone: started using drones to track.

307
00:39:10.250 --> 00:39:13.569
Andrew's iPhone: This that the population of the species!

308
00:39:13.670 --> 00:39:20.230
Andrew's iPhone: But I just liked the idea of that. I could imagine Jason little writing a song about a lonely, endangered dugong, befriending a drone.

309
00:39:20.370 --> 00:39:45.089
Alternate Line: This is by a distance the weirdest song and review of a song track into dolphins or something. Can I make it? Can I make 2 quick observations. By the way.

310
00:39:45.130 --> 00:39:46.539
Alternate Line: what is right?

311
00:39:46.550 --> 00:39:54.410
Alternate Line: This things like this is the reason why your attic is absolutely full of records like you're so under. This is amazing. Like I'm I'm

312
00:39:54.440 --> 00:40:21.379
Alternate Line: set it back, just blown away by your enthusiasm for this, like I just in bed last night. This is like this guy just talking. The second thing I was gonna observe is that you you set such a high watermark for these podcasts playlist, that you're like a little bit disappointed.

313
00:40:21.550 --> 00:40:40.920
Alternate Line: but it has landed with me like I actually has landed with me like II get the I. As I said, I think I said. Clever stuff earlier on for a second, laughing there, but it gives. It does give you an look an immediate kind of pay, more reactions. Some of that is laughter, cause it's about odds to the sort of you know

314
00:40:41.210 --> 00:40:51.380
Alternate Line: Scottish guy that I am. But but yeah, I get. I get the gut all vibrational sense of it all. And I get this sort of connection to the history and

315
00:40:51.850 --> 00:41:03.319
Alternate Line: deep. Mel.

316
00:41:03.970 --> 00:41:20.580
Andrew's iPhone: really beautiful. But yeah, just quite kinda heartbreaking. So. So, yeah, so so, yeah, I just, I just would like the off. I just wanted to. As I say, just kind of shine a light on this this week, and I think if people could like just sit a bit of time as aside and just dedicate it to listen to this

317
00:41:20.660 --> 00:41:23.649
Andrew's iPhone: record is, I think it's 32 min long. The album

318
00:41:23.890 --> 00:41:40.740
Alternate Line: I think I see, I think I think like is the unlike anything they're gonna listen to this week for sure. And if if your choice is, say, like, I've get 5 min to listen to track, I'm gonna listen to either Urenda or Yg Marley.

319
00:41:40.740 --> 00:41:57.059
Alternate Line: Then I would say, there's only one way to go. Do you know what I mean? Like? There's only one digitally do thing to do. So yeah, that man. It's it's it's a it's a strange one. I can't say it's not a strange one, completely by surprise, but it's but it's

320
00:41:57.490 --> 00:42:02.800
Alternate Line: It's so interesting. And it's like, I think, a good touch point. I'll I'll say it again. Is that

321
00:42:02.830 --> 00:42:21.259
Alternate Line: phone sound project from the islands. I wish I could remember that was called, would have used it like 2 years ago. That's exactly right, and it's Creace knows how. You remember that I have no recollection of these things, but like we were both gushing about how like

322
00:42:21.300 --> 00:42:26.690
Alternate Line: it's like this tiny part of Scotland. And he's like captured this thing, you know.

323
00:42:26.710 --> 00:42:39.199
Alternate Line: and there's an element to to that this. But this is like an Australian thing, but it's actually much better and broader and more Australian and more ancient. So yeah, II don't. I don't mean to diminish it, but I mean

324
00:42:39.460 --> 00:42:41.000
Alternate Line: it's carrying the wheels

325
00:42:41.010 --> 00:42:51.110
Alternate Line: as kind of we. If I don't stop somebody talking about this, so we'll be talking about it forever more. So.

326
00:42:51.260 --> 00:42:58.220
Alternate Line: good good playlist this week. Very, very, very, very, very, very diverse all all over the place we started in

327
00:42:58.290 --> 00:43:00.910
Africa, and then when we were off to America.

328
00:43:00.970 --> 00:43:12.919
Alternate Line: and then Sweden, and then back to America, and then a wee bit of antipodean flair to to finishes off so nicely, nicely selected bunch of tracks. My man.

329
00:43:12.930 --> 00:43:17.129
Alternate Line: good. So I guess that brings us round to our final words.

330
00:43:17.680 --> 00:43:37.259
Alternate Line: a final section of our podcast this week, where Andrew, I was, gonna say, take something down off his shelf. But I guess it's now reaches around in a box of often chips and finds something from the archives, and he makes a connection, sometimes loose, sometimes tight, between something that we've listened to this week.

331
00:43:37.260 --> 00:43:58.030
Alternate Line: and one of his all time favourites. And I would like to say, Thank you so much for welcoming us back to the world of Podcasts. And we've been away, and we. We've been getting lots of lessons. So we do really appreciate that. Thank you so much. Keep listening. Keep recommending to your friends. Keep messaging us, and we'll do our best to to respond and to into chat. And

332
00:43:58.290 --> 00:44:05.799
Alternate Line: if you feel that you can support us financially for this, podcast you're probably wondering like, am I able to do that? And do you know what, Andrew.

333
00:44:06.700 --> 00:44:23.450
Alternate Line: what Ian tell me? They're completely able to do that in a hundred percent a legitimate way. Just take yourself along to WWW. Dot buy me a coffee.com slash. We heard wonders, and just for the cost of a couple of lattes. And you can keep this podcast running.

334
00:44:23.460 --> 00:44:25.010
Alternate Line: Add infinitum.

335
00:44:25.090 --> 00:44:27.490
Alternate Line: Okay. That's enough filibustering.

336
00:44:27.650 --> 00:44:29.819
Alternate Line: So Andrew, the Vinyl word over to you.

337
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:37.370
Andrew's iPhone: Thank you. Yeah. So it dawned on me this week that we've done 80 odd episodes of the podcast at this point.

338
00:44:37.500 --> 00:44:42.400
Andrew's iPhone: And we've still never played a track by Queen Areifera. There's just

339
00:44:42.860 --> 00:44:48.110
Andrew's iPhone: one of my absolute musical idols I just love Areifa Franklin.

340
00:44:48.150 --> 00:44:54.210
Andrew's iPhone: And so, yeah, so clearly, a significant oversight. And I realized that there was an opportunity to put that right this week.

341
00:44:54.440 --> 00:44:58.910
Andrew's iPhone: And so we had the Brittney Horror track. What now?

342
00:44:59.860 --> 00:45:04.969
Andrew's iPhone: And we also had, Urunda, that, we said, translates as now.

343
00:45:05.060 --> 00:45:07.390
Andrew's iPhone: So that leads me nicely to

344
00:45:07.590 --> 00:45:12.100
Andrew's iPhone: the thirteenth studio, lp. By Areifa, called Areifa, now

345
00:45:12.560 --> 00:45:17.080
Andrew's iPhone: So a wonderful record from 1968

346
00:45:17.270 --> 00:45:22.880
Andrew's iPhone: opens ridiculously strong, with a 1, 2 punch of think into a say, a little prayer.

347
00:45:23.370 --> 00:45:31.590
Andrew's iPhone: and it doesn't really help from there. So yeah, pretty decent, and 10 tracks dispatched in less than 30 min.

348
00:45:31.890 --> 00:45:40.500
Andrew's iPhone: I've plumped for her heart. Melting. Reading of Sam Cooke's used to send me. which to me is just the sound of romance. I just love it.

349
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:43.579
Andrew's iPhone: Stop shitting and just update us.

350
00:45:44.110 --> 00:45:49.089
Alternate Line: Excellent choice to finish off the podcast this week. I thought you were. Gonna see it phones had

351
00:45:49.110 --> 00:46:04.370
Alternate Line: you know, aborigine records, and we're gonna listen to that. But but unfortunately, not it's just it's just it's just aretha now. So that'll have to make that I'll have to do. Okay, well, Andrew, pleased with the podcast. With you again this week.

352
00:46:05.380 --> 00:46:06.380
Andrew's iPhone: And you, sir.

353
00:46:06.920 --> 00:46:10.149
Alternate Line: I guess we'll so see you next week, bye, guys

354
00:46:10.810 --> 00:46:11.779
