[00:00:57] Speaker A: I'm doing okay. You know, honestly. Feeling kind of blue, you know, I have a. I have a blue house with the blue window. [00:01:09] Speaker B: Blue can mean a lot of things. This is true. This is true. [00:01:12] Speaker A: No, I've been. Well, welcome back to Sip and Mimos, the Internet premiere citrus based but not always citrus based libation podcast, wherein my partner Elliot and I listen to a radio rock and electronica album sometimes, not all the time. Over mimosas. Elliot, how have you been? [00:01:37] Speaker B: Been all right, man. I am in between bike races that I'm cutting up and all that. And I've been spending loads of time with the kid and having a great old time enduring the summer heat that we're still in. I heard a rumor that maybe Tuesday might go down to 97 even. [00:01:57] Speaker A: Ooh. [00:01:58] Speaker B: So can you imagine? So break out your sweaters. [00:02:02] Speaker A: So if you're. If you're listening to this in any other state besides Texas, first off, good for you, you know, you're lucky. Second, we're like in the historic heat wave. We've now had like something like almost like 40 days of over 105 degree weather, if I'm not mistaken. It's terrible. But I will say this. This morning when I took my dog out, it was like 79 degrees outside and it was marvelous. [00:02:34] Speaker B: Wait, how early Was this? [00:02:36] Speaker A: Like 6:30. [00:02:38] Speaker B: Really? Oh, that's breathtaking. [00:02:40] Speaker A: I was like. I was honestly felt a little chill. [00:02:44] Speaker B: Oh, it sounds delicious. If you're listening to this in the future, how's the post apocalypse going? Have you been to Thunderdome yet? I hope it's great. I hope they're not overcharging, you know, further their beverages. Hey, we're all in big trouble, dude. [00:03:01] Speaker A: Have you heard about this have you heard about this aliens? [00:03:04] Speaker B: Have you heard about this aliens? Are we going to talk about the alien thing? [00:03:07] Speaker A: There's been so much that's happened since we. We talked about. [00:03:11] Speaker B: O boy. We talked about anything we haven't recorded in a while. We should say that too. [00:03:16] Speaker A: Not since the Tour de Fr. [00:03:17] Speaker B: Yes, we can blame Elliot because I was working on a Tour de France and I apologize. [00:03:22] Speaker A: But that's dedication. That, that takes a lot. No, it's all good. [00:03:26] Speaker B: I. I got a. I got a weird job and a. And a. And a lovely child. So I'm a pretty busy man. So, you know, I'm. I, we get these things out when we can. [00:03:36] Speaker A: Well, you, you make the bikes, right? That's. That's. You haven't told anyone but you, You. You make the bikes. [00:03:42] Speaker B: I sculpted the carbon fiber. They all weigh the, the, the same weight as an orange that you could. Might, you might find in a mimosa. And they cost $22,000. [00:03:55] Speaker A: Do they really cost that much, the. [00:03:57] Speaker B: Bikes they use on the Tour de France? Yes. Yeah, they cost two of our cars. Like, like it's insane. [00:04:04] Speaker A: Damn. [00:04:04] Speaker B: It's insane. These things are. They're feats of engineering. They're wild. You can pick them up with a pinky finger and then like it's wild and they're indestructible. It's insane. Anyways, who cares about that? [00:04:15] Speaker A: I do. I think that's cool. [00:04:16] Speaker B: Oh, it is. It is pretty cool. If you know this, it's. It's a very Euro sport. Had to bring that back. Yeah. How you been, man? [00:04:26] Speaker A: Doing well, you know, I feel like. I feel like I've been having a lot of opportunities to see some of my favorite bands, honestly, just this past week. [00:04:37] Speaker B: So you're always at some cool ass show and I'm always pretty jealous about it. [00:04:42] Speaker A: Well, I, I figure I gotta do it while I can, you know, like. Yes. [00:04:49] Speaker B: Yes. [00:04:50] Speaker A: Because honestly, like these days I'm one of the things I look at. I'm like, there seats available? Will my knees start acting up? These are all contributing factors to, to my decisions. So last week I went to go see Jimmy Eat World previous episode. [00:05:08] Speaker B: Wow. [00:05:10] Speaker A: It was wonderful. They played on a Tuesday and. But they fortunately were co headlining and they played first that night. So I was able to get home kind of on the early side. [00:05:22] Speaker B: But they're wonderful because you bailed on the headliner, right? Should we mention the. Should we mention the headliner? So people are mad at you. Oh, hey, they're gonna be mad at me in A second. Or maybe not. I don't know. [00:05:33] Speaker A: So I missed out on Manchester Orchestra. I had seen them before. [00:05:36] Speaker B: Oh, okay, then you're all right. [00:05:38] Speaker A: They're solid. But I did have. I did have a hour and a half commute the next morning, so I had to miss the show. [00:05:44] Speaker B: Yeah. You had a what? [00:05:46] Speaker A: An hour and a half commute the next morning, So I had to. I had to get home. [00:05:50] Speaker B: Oh, yikes. Where are you going for an hour and a half? [00:05:52] Speaker A: Austin. [00:05:54] Speaker B: Wow. Okay. [00:05:55] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:56] Speaker B: So you. When we went. Because we went to a show together recently, so did you drive an hour and a half or. You caught us on your way down. [00:06:04] Speaker A: That wasn't too bad. That was 45. But the mornings. [00:06:08] Speaker B: Yeah, Whole nother. [00:06:10] Speaker A: Whole nother monster traffic. And then Friday had a chance to go see another previous episode, actually from, like, last fall. The Offspring. [00:06:21] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:22] Speaker A: Which were. They were fantastic. Solid, really funny. They have probably the best pre show I've ever seen. It was like 30 minutes, and they put a big timer on the stage, which I love. [00:06:37] Speaker B: I like the timer thing. A lot of people are doing that now. [00:06:39] Speaker A: And they had this, like. They had, like. Yes. And they had a bunch of, like, interactive things. They had, like a kiss cam. They had a. A shake your butt cam. So they played like, Sir Mix a lot. I like big butts. And everyone in the audience, they would, like, zoom in on someone and they would, you know, dance around. [00:06:57] Speaker B: And this is pre show. Just getting people, like, excited. [00:06:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:07:00] Speaker B: All right. [00:07:01] Speaker A: They had a One. One of their. One of their roadies, I'm assuming, had a gorilla mask on and went out into the crowd and danced with people. And it was. It was really cool. And I don't know if you remember from Ix on the Ombre, the album, we listened to the intermission where it was like, now it's time for the intermission. [00:07:21] Speaker B: That's one of my favorite tracks on the album. [00:07:23] Speaker A: So they. They played that this whole. This whole time. Something along those lines. I wonder if it was the same. I think it was Jello B. Was it Jello Biafra from the Dead Kennedies? Who was. Who was doing that? I. I forget. But they were playing that during the intermission, which is. Which is really cool. [00:07:43] Speaker B: Oh, that's fantastic. [00:07:44] Speaker A: Yeah, they were great. And Simple Plan opened along with sum 41. And those are two of my faves. And yeah, it was. It was a great night. Really hot. But it was great. [00:07:56] Speaker B: I have a. I had someone on the inside, and I heard that Simple Plan covered Avril Lavigne it was. [00:08:03] Speaker A: It was like a. It was a sipping memo. It was like a celebration of sipping Sip and dipitous. Yeah. [00:08:11] Speaker B: Episode title question. [00:08:13] Speaker A: Sip and dipitous. I love it. [00:08:16] Speaker B: Yes. [00:08:16] Speaker A: They Simple Plan. Who. I mean, honestly, some 41 and offspring were not. Were great, but Simple Plan kind of stole the show. Really. Yeah. They. They're just so damn charismatic. The singer, Pierre Bouvier, very charismatic. Very. Just seemed like such a genuine, nice dude. [00:08:39] Speaker B: Is he a cyclist? Because that name sounds familiar. [00:08:43] Speaker A: He. He. I think he is. He's French Canadian, so he might be. He's probably a fan. [00:08:49] Speaker B: Sure. [00:08:50] Speaker A: But. But it was awesome. [00:08:52] Speaker B: What was Simple Plans, like, big hit in the day. [00:08:54] Speaker A: So they had a couple. The new guy with DJ Quals and Elijah Dushku. [00:09:00] Speaker B: I remember Dishku and I know who digicalls is, but I don't remember that movie. [00:09:04] Speaker A: The song was I'm Just a kid and life is a Nightmare. They did that one. They had. I do anything just to hold you in my arms, Try to make you laugh. Welcome to my life. Perfect. It was. They had some. Some bangers. [00:09:24] Speaker B: Some bangers. Okay, cool. But. But Offspring. Oh, Offspring was great, but like. But simple playing, like, came. Came correct. [00:09:31] Speaker A: Yeah. The Simple Plan really stole the show. I mean, I. I was able to see Austria a couple years ago with 311. 311. [00:09:41] Speaker B: We should get to 311 eventually, man. [00:09:42] Speaker A: So it was. It was cool. And I mean, just to see those guys, I mean, they're kind of up there for Green Day with Green Day with. For me, as far as, like pop punk elder statesman, you know, which I don't know if you saw today, but Green day just announced 30th anniversary of Dookie. They're doing like a big box set special release. Check out our episode on Dookie a couple back. That was a fun one. [00:10:10] Speaker B: After we dropped the Avril and DG Shadow private Press episode. Shadow Drops deluxe edition of Private Press. It's on Spotify. Like the day. Like the day we released it. [00:10:22] Speaker A: Okay. I'm going to say look it up. [00:10:23] Speaker B: Look it up right now. Like, I don't even know. [00:10:25] Speaker A: I'm going to save it, man. I actually saw a copy of Introducing on CD out in the wild recently. [00:10:32] Speaker B: Cool. Why not? [00:10:34] Speaker A: And I'm a big CD guy. You know this. [00:10:37] Speaker B: Are you. [00:10:38] Speaker A: I love CDs. My wife, she said, as long as you can store them, you know, like, that's cool. [00:10:45] Speaker B: You get. [00:10:46] Speaker A: You can keep them. Because I had a lot of CDs, and I was like, I will store them. And so I was able to find these really great, like, wall hangers. And so the inside of my closet in my, in my office is like lined with racks of CDs that, that my. [00:11:03] Speaker B: Do you have a little space guy in between each, each jewel case? [00:11:08] Speaker A: No, they're like just those wire racks that were really popular and, you know, I have records, but those were my growing up, my records, you know? [00:11:18] Speaker B: Yeah, of course. It's so weird because I was just thinking about, like, you know, especially in the show, like, like I had all these CDs, of course, but they're gone and I don't know where they are. They're in the ether somewhere, or like a sibling has them, or they're in a garage somewhere, or they're just thrown away. Because I've had all of these albums that we've talked about, like on disc, but they're just gone now. They only live on In My Heart and on streaming services, which is so weird. But now my mission is to get like every album we've ever talked about on this show on vinyl. [00:11:51] Speaker A: Which, speaking of, you sent me the sweetest picture ever a couple of weeks ago. You took, you took your daughter record shopping? [00:11:59] Speaker B: I took my daughter record shopping and we had a dope ass hall. She, she got pretty bored pretty quick and just started chasing me around the aisles. But I had already grabbed a few awesome things she picked out. She went straight to like, the Disney, like, VHS's. She grabbed like two copies of Beauty and the Beast and she's like, I want both these. I'm like, you know what? You're gonna get them. It's so weird. Like, pretty sure mom's already got this at home. But you know what? I want you to experience the joy of record shopping with me. And I pulled up, I got a Moon Safari by Air. Oh, I got, and I got Delta Generation by Prodigy, which is long time coming, you know. [00:12:40] Speaker A: Oh, check out our episode on that one. That was. That's season one, Jilted Generation. [00:12:46] Speaker B: That's like the second Prodigy. It's like the second album we, I, I sent to you. Yeah, we did homework and then Jilted, you know. [00:12:54] Speaker A: And didn't we do Jilted with Sugar Ray? [00:12:57] Speaker B: I think maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, boy. But like, just so many memories. That's an awesome album. So I got that now, like, I feel like a little more complete and great. And I picked up a Merryweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective. I don't know if you're familiar. [00:13:14] Speaker A: I would love to have Air on vinyl. I'D love. I have Surrender. Thanks. Thanks to my boy. [00:13:21] Speaker B: I've got Rob Zombie. Thanks to my boy. [00:13:23] Speaker A: That's right, man. I'm trying to think recent from recent ones. I. I absolutely 100 want play. Do you have play on. On vinyl? [00:13:33] Speaker B: I don't. [00:13:35] Speaker A: I bet you that's a really nice experience. [00:13:37] Speaker B: Sure. I mean, you could get that. It's just like, do you. Do you want OG pressing or do you want reissue? If you're cool with reissue, you can find any. Most of the. But like, if you find an old one, holy. [00:13:48] Speaker A: I actually picked up a pressing of my favorite Elton John record made in England. It's a. It's a 90s one, so we'll probably talk about it eventually. But it was out of press for a long since like the 90s, so you couldn't find one for under $300. [00:14:04] Speaker B: Wow. [00:14:04] Speaker A: But they repressed it and. Oh, man, it sounds so good. Oh, I'm so happy. [00:14:12] Speaker B: Awesome. [00:14:12] Speaker A: It's got my favorite Elton. It's like a Lion King era Elton. [00:14:16] Speaker B: Oh, okay. Interesting. [00:14:19] Speaker A: But it's got my favorite favorite song in there. Blessed. And I tend to. I tend to get really obsessed with songs and we'll, like, listen to them just endlessly to the point where we'll be getting ready for bed and my wife will be like, ready for bed. I'm just like, hold on one sec. And I'll like, put the song on and I'll just like. I feel like, like a. Like a little like a baby, you know? Like, wow. I gotta watch, you know, this episode of, you know, Peppa Pig before bed, you know? [00:14:47] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. That's kind of. [00:14:50] Speaker A: And it's so. It's the most like, bizarre songs sometime. Like one of them for the longest time was the theme for the Lost Boys. Cry Little sister. Cry Little Sister. [00:15:02] Speaker B: Is it the one with the. With the children's children choir? [00:15:05] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Thou shall not fall. [00:15:13] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:15:14] Speaker A: That. I was upset. Like, who did that? [00:15:17] Speaker B: Elton? [00:15:18] Speaker A: No, that one was Gerard McCann. That one. Like, I think at the. The year end, Spotify list, I think I listened to it something like 60 times. [00:15:27] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [00:15:29] Speaker A: Yeah. I. I tend to like zero in and just kind of like burn myself out on. On some songs. [00:15:36] Speaker B: I remember I was at a, like a dungeon party, like a basement party, and the DJ before me played a remix of that. Oh. And I was like, what the is this? And he's like, lost Boys, bro. I'm like, okay. And like everyone in the crowd was like, the is this? And then like, you know, and like. And like, I'm like, sure enough, like, oh, this is slamming. Okay. But it was decidedly that exact song, and it stuck in my head. I'm like, interesting. [00:16:09] Speaker A: Okay. I. I adore that song. And I adore the Lost Boys, too. I had Covid, like, two years ago. No, No, I didn't have Covid. Thank you. I did. Or I could have just had a really bad cold. [00:16:19] Speaker B: We. We all did or did not have Covid two years ago. [00:16:23] Speaker A: We'll never know. [00:16:24] Speaker B: We'll never know. [00:16:26] Speaker A: And so I remember just being sick as a dog, and it was streaming on hbo, and I was like, I've never seen this movie. I'm gonna watch it. And I don't know if it was just, like, the fever I had. [00:16:38] Speaker B: I thought you were a big old fan. [00:16:39] Speaker A: Well, this is. This is why. Because there I was this afternoon. I called into work because I wasn't feeling well, and I just watched the Lost Boys, like, back to back, and I was just like, I love this song. I love these actors. I love everything about this. And just. It just kind of came. My identity for about a month, and. Yeah. True story. [00:17:04] Speaker B: Wait, so to wrap up all the shows that you've seen live recently, what was the best you've seen in, like, the last couple weeks? Because you. You go to. You end up going to a lot of shows. [00:17:15] Speaker A: Yeah, I. Last couple weeks. I think the one that still takes it all is Blink182 from the summer. That one. That one meant a lot. [00:17:26] Speaker B: Tell us about Blink. [00:17:27] Speaker A: Oh, man. So we were, like, waiting because it sold out really quickly. Um, and so we were, like, waiting, and we just, like, literally, like, two hours before the show, we were like, let's do it. And it was awesome. You know, I'd seen. I'd seen Tom with Angels and Airwaves and Mark and Travis with +44, and Blink 182 with the. With Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio. All really awesome concerts, really cool experiences, but Never the. The three. Mark, Tom, and Travis. As we've discussed before, Link. Win Two is my favorite band, and Tom DeLong's my favorite guitar player. And to see. To see him with Mark and Travis. And here they're just goofy stage banter. It was. It was really special. I cried for sure. [00:18:21] Speaker B: That's great. [00:18:22] Speaker A: They came out with Anthem Part 2, which is the opening track for my favorite album, take off your pants and jacket. And I was just like. It was like one of those things where I was just, like, overwhelmed. [00:18:32] Speaker B: Still funny. [00:18:33] Speaker A: Yeah. And I was just like, I can't believe I'm watching this. Like, it's like that scene in. In Pop Star when they're. And they're interviewing Questlove right after the Style Boys reunite. And Questlove is like, wow, I can't believe I'm watching this. That's how I felt. I felt like Questlove and Pop Star freaking out over Style Boys. But it was, it was awesome. And we've got some really exciting ones coming up. Aerosmith at some point this fall. So get ready for our, our episode on Armageddon. Oh, don't worry, it's the holiday season. I. I won't do that to you. [00:19:15] Speaker B: No, you can do whatever you want. That's the, that's the game, that's the show. But boy, I've got. [00:19:20] Speaker A: Although we should. [00:19:21] Speaker B: I've got a weird thing about Aerosmith, man. [00:19:23] Speaker A: We should do like a. We should do like a music video special where we watch a music video. [00:19:28] Speaker B: Together and we put it on YouTube. [00:19:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:31] Speaker B: And go visual with it. [00:19:32] Speaker A: That'd be cool. We can do crazy. Starring 90s icon Alicia Silverstone and. [00:19:39] Speaker B: And his daughter. [00:19:40] Speaker A: Very weird. [00:19:42] Speaker B: Not great, but not great. But, yeah, I saw some, I saw some Blink 182, like, clip of Tom, like, introing a song, goes, hey, I was right about UFOs. And then, yeah, you guys, like, he was right because we don't have to. There's not much to talk about, but like, aliens exists. So. [00:20:07] Speaker A: Yeah. So within the last like two, three weeks, if I'm not mistaken, as today as of recording, some very high up people have testified to Congress that aliens exist. [00:20:21] Speaker B: And yeah, and the guy read, he read Blink 182 lyrics in Congress. And my favorite was like, so did you find, like, pilots of these ships? They're like, oh, yeah. And they're like, and they weren't human. He's like, no. And they're like, to the best of your knowledge, have any of these beings harmed a human? He goes, oh, oh, yeah. [00:20:47] Speaker A: Oh, I haven't actually watched the, the hearings. [00:20:50] Speaker B: It's wild. He's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They've definitely harmed us. Like, it's so. It just. And like, this is like barely news, you know? Like, it's. [00:21:00] Speaker A: It's so funny. [00:21:02] Speaker B: Yeah. Because. Because people are like, we got our own going on. Rent's about to be due in a week and the McRib is back. Like, no one gives a. [00:21:10] Speaker A: Like, absolutely. [00:21:11] Speaker B: Oh, it's so weird. It's so weird. What a weird time to run. [00:21:14] Speaker A: It's a strange timeline. [00:21:18] Speaker B: Okay, so this is kind of a weird episode of Sipping Mimos. We were excited for this one and I. Last time we recorded, I picked a band and, you know, listened to the album that I chose and I was super psyched for it. And then like, I, you know, upon my research, like, oh, some shit's gone down and this is not a band we should be talking about right now. Like, Jake and I talked before we started recording, like, to an hour before, like, what should we do? And we both decided, like, let's just not do it. So apologies to anyone that was excited for it, but it feels like with these allegations, we shouldn't be putting a spotlight on this band right now. And we shouldn't, like, you know, be accidentally promoting their material. So we're just not going to do it because it's problematic. And, you know, we don't need to be even deeply, indirectly sending these people money. So I said we're going to talk about Jake's album this week and that's that. I hope everyone understands and we hear you and we're. We're on the side of people that have been put in awful situations by bad people. So I think that's kind of all I have to say. [00:22:39] Speaker A: So, like, Elliot said a little different. A little different format for the show, but totally support it out of, you know, out of respect. So we're just going to refrain from going there. But the album I brought to the table this week. Yes, is. Is one that means a whole lot to me. Kind of has led me to, you know, where we are recording right now. A blue house. It's also. [00:23:06] Speaker B: It's also like bursting with positivity, which is what I need right now after being so disappointed with my choice this week. So. So I can't wait. [00:23:16] Speaker A: So submitted for your approval. Sorry. [00:23:19] Speaker B: I love that. [00:23:20] Speaker A: I just got. I just got Paramount plus and watched a. A boatload of. Are you free of the dark. So many. For your approval, we are going to talk about 1999's Europop by a little Italian band by the name of Eiffel65. Here we. Yo, listen up. Here's the story about a little guy that lives in a blue world and all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue like him inside and outside blue his house with a blue little window and a blue Corvette and everything is blue for him and his self and everybody around Cuz he ain't got nobody to listen to, listen to listen. I moved. All right. Oh, that was Good. [00:24:51] Speaker B: Yeah. You like that? [00:24:52] Speaker A: That, that sound effect, all that, that sound effect is all over this. [00:24:56] Speaker B: It's all over. All right, so I think that's what the DJ did. He's like, no, it needs a little all over this. Okay, let's go. [00:25:06] Speaker A: Like, yeah, let's go. So let's go back, I guess at this point. Let's go back 24 years now. You know, little scrawny Jake. Here's a song on the radio that furrows into his ears, into his psyche, into his spirit, and he cannot stop listening. Kind of. This might be like one of those first gen is with the whole cry Little sister thing where I just kind of obsess over a song. That song is Blue Dabadee. Elliot. [00:25:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:25:43] Speaker A: What were your thoughts? This is, this is huge. This is like one, this is the first. Well, I mean, you want to do Ray of Light but won't go over there. This is the first time we brought, I've, I've brought an electronic album to the table. A full blown electronic album album. What were your thoughts on Europop? [00:26:01] Speaker B: So we swapped it this, this episode and, and Jake picked the electronica album and I picked an album that we're not going to talk about. So I'm not about that, but it's fine. And I, I, I wrote down, when I was taking notes, I wrote down the word cynicism and I crossed it out. I'm not gonna Ray of Light this, because you know what? I don't think iPhone65 had that in their hearts when they were putting this together. So this, this, this track Blue came out and it was like just on the radio all of a sudden. And in 99 or whatever, I was like, well, hang on, wait a minute. I've been pushing this sound for a long time in my social circles in high school and all this. And I've been listening, I've been listening to Chemical Brothers and Prodigy and publishing and like, and your Paul Calvin Dykes, your, your, the Rudes, your atbs and all this. These guys that like even like one hit wonder electronic like dance artists and like. But this one's okay. And it's being played at high school dances because, because, because of the radio, because of Billboard or whatever. [00:27:06] Speaker A: This is perfect. And this is exactly what I wanted to find out from. Because at this point in your life, you're in it, you're you. Oh, I mean, this is 99. You've already started DJing out, you know, doing shows. What was so, was electronic a culture? Was it still considered kind of underground in the States. [00:27:24] Speaker B: Yes. Well, okay, let's see. Like, 99, right? So it's. It's. It's breaking. It's breaking through. But, like, we. We did not have the, like, EDM festivals, you know, like, that are so prevalent now where, like, people go and, like, rage out to dubstep for 12 hours, right. Which feels insane to me. And that's mostly because I'm 40. [00:27:45] Speaker A: I can't even imagine my back thinking about it. [00:27:48] Speaker B: I'm exhausted. Yeah. I'm exhausted considering it, so. And then this song breaks through. Girlfriends and, like, friends that, like, didn't appreciate the stuff I was trying to push on them. And with my mixtapes and all that were like. So you must like this one, right? And it's blue Dabadi. And, like, I heard it. I'm like, okay. Well, I mean, yeah, it's catchy. It's good. It's cool. All right. I mean, that's kind of. It's kind of what I listen to, sort of. But it's pop. It is like Euro pop, emphasis on the pop. It is designed to cross over into a big audience. It's, like, designed to be chanted at football games, you know. [00:28:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:31] Speaker B: Soccer games. Like. And it has therefore. And, like, half the lyrics don't make sense. They're just. It's just a chant, you know, like Zombie Nation or whatever. Like, listeners. But, like, of course, this breaks through, but, like, the history of this tune and therefore. The album is an interesting one. Two Italian dudes and a guy from Brooklyn end up in this kind of hit factory, like. Like this studio that, like, makes a bunch of tracks, like, mega mixes and Rick remixes, and they're just, like, churning out shit. [00:29:01] Speaker A: I kind of got the vibe. It was almost like, like, an artist collective kind of deal. [00:29:06] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:29:08] Speaker A: Corporation Bliss Corporation. [00:29:10] Speaker B: So it's a bunch of dudes that, like, kind of know what they're doing with keyboards and pro tools. If enough of them make stuff, we'll get a hit eventually. You know? Like, the thing about, like, if you put a bunch of monkeys in a room with typewriters, eventually they'll hit Shakespeare. That feels like an oversimplification, but it feels like what they were doing, that they're. They're cranking out, like, five tracks a day. And famously, it took them two hours to write this song. It's. It's wild, but sometimes that's, you know, all it takes. Who is the pianist? You got Maurizio. [00:29:48] Speaker A: Maurizio Lobina. [00:29:50] Speaker B: Maurizio Lobina was, like, planking Plinking along on the keys. [00:29:53] Speaker A: Oh. So I think these keys sound like Paul Van Dyke. You winced via text. I could feel it. [00:30:00] Speaker B: I. Jake texted me pre show and saying I get a lot of pop and dyke vibes. I'm like, all right, I'm like. I'm like, I get it. I understand. But like, ah, okay. Something about, like the way the keys are all played at the same threshold. [00:30:19] Speaker A: So when you say threshold, you mean like, like the attack. Like the way you hit the keys. Like there's no. [00:30:24] Speaker B: Yes. Nuance. [00:30:26] Speaker A: Nuance. What is it called? [00:30:29] Speaker B: Dynamic. Dynamic range. [00:30:31] Speaker A: Okay. I like that because at the end of the day, a drum is A piano is a percussion instrument. You know, you. You're hitting. You're hitting strings with mallets. You know, it's a percussion instrument. And that is something I. I did notice this time around how it's just like a flat. Like, there's no, like, you know, with the pinky. There's no. It's not soft. It's just dull. [00:30:56] Speaker B: Do you remember the Charlie Brown special where. Where they're trying to like, who's the. Who's the piano player in Charlie Brown? Linus? No, Schrader. Schrader. Like, Lucy comes up to Schrader is like, play that. Play that Chris Christmas song. And he like, plays this beautiful piece. She's like, no, the other one. And it plays another beautiful piece. She's like, no, the one. You know the idea on the one. He goes, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bang, bang, bang. She's like, that's it. And he like, flies out the piano. That's kind of how I feel about these piano parts. I don't mean to on them because remember, I'm not being cynical. I'm not gonna. Ray of light this guy. These guys. [00:31:35] Speaker A: So, so let me, Let me ask you this before we dive into. Because as a whole, I love this album, but there's no escaping Blue. So we're probably gonna spend the majority of our time talking about Blue, if you like. Well, okay, so. So we've listened to. To loads of electronica from the uk. You know, we've. We've gone on Australia, I think, is this our first Italian electronic band? [00:32:06] Speaker B: We've talked about plenty of French dudes, plenty of London guys, like a. Yeah, yeah. [00:32:12] Speaker A: So this, you know, I know it's very much in the electronic of Bane. I know these guys have, like, DJing backgrounds. Oh, well, Gabri does. Gabriel Ponte at least. What do you think differentiates this Italian electronica from. Let's Say like the British or, or the French. That's what I, that's what I was thinking about. I was like, we haven't really talked about Italy, but I mean, I can hear like some Daft punk, you know? [00:32:45] Speaker B: Yes, you can hear some Daft Punk and you can hear some Giorgio Moroder, who is an Italian producer. Okay, awesome. That right in my brain. Giorgio Maria is Italian. So like there. And he's also like considered one of the first people to develop the trance sound. Yeah. Donna Summer. I feel love with Donna Summer. Something about that bass line became the blueprint for trance music. And it's actually like the polka bass that like kick butt kick. Okay. And you can hear it all over this, this one and that, that, that evolved into trans music from the like oddly Italian polka influenced bass line. Dance music when disco hit Italy. Yeah, I would say so. It's cool. [00:33:38] Speaker A: That's kind of like getting that etymology of. Of European electronics. I love it. [00:33:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:33:44] Speaker A: So. [00:33:44] Speaker B: So these guys would not exist without Giorgio. They wouldn't exist without, you know, all the guys we've talked about and all this. So they're like, they're, they're, they're, they're taking their influences and wearing them on their sleeve. And on this one day, what Maurizio. [00:33:59] Speaker A: Was, you know, kind of plucking on this, this arpeggiated piano riff. [00:34:03] Speaker B: Plucking. And the other two guys like. Or the other Gabriel. [00:34:14] Speaker A: Gabriel Ponte. Yeah, the, the Ponte. [00:34:17] Speaker B: He's like, that sounds cool. And then Mauricio Mori, if you like, like we gotta get that, that cool vocalist from Brooklyn in here to see what he thinks. And he said, yeah, I've got three ideas. Yeah, one's like easy, one's like a little tougher. And then one's a cool, weirdest. They're like, let's go, let's go. Weirder. He's like, I'm blue. [00:34:42] Speaker A: He said he wrote the lyrics in like 40 minutes or something like that. Which is. I mean they always say the ones that come to you the quickest are usually the most successful. [00:34:53] Speaker B: We've talked about this a lot with like a lot of your punk bands. Like they're just like, oh, we have to have a B side. And they just come up with something real quick on the spot and becomes like a huge hit. [00:35:00] Speaker A: And it's all the small, small things. [00:35:01] Speaker B: Yeah, look at that. [00:35:04] Speaker A: How about that? This album and, and Blue, like I mentioned earlier. But it's kind of like how we got here because this is. I, I talked about Ultimate Dance Mix Volume two, you know, and like what is love? Yeah, and talk about Corona virus earlier, but Corona's. I think it's. Call me when you're down. These like very elect European influenced, like electronic pop that I just, that was like kind of like all like everywhere in the 90s. But this, this was the first album that I, I'd ever gotten to do that was all electronic and I was obsessed. Were you really obsessed? [00:35:48] Speaker B: What hit you about this one? [00:35:50] Speaker A: I thought it was. I, I, well, I've always loved pop music. [00:35:53] Speaker B: Music. [00:35:53] Speaker A: I just always loved pop music. I think I, I think I love pop, you know, just as much, if not a little bit more than rock. I just, I love a good melody. Oh, I love a good melody. [00:36:05] Speaker B: Lyrics. [00:36:05] Speaker A: I've talked about it before, but lyrics tend to always come second from me. Oh, I love this song. Wait, what's it about? You know. [00:36:15] Speaker B: Yeah, these, these guys are melody first. [00:36:18] Speaker A: Oh my gosh. Yeah. [00:36:19] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:20] Speaker A: Like one of my favorite songs on this one is Dub in this Life. Dubbing. [00:36:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:26] Speaker A: And has this great. And I had a strobe light because we had a, we put on like a, A haunted house and we had a strobe light and I would, I would host mini raves in my room and I would put on Dumb in this Life and pretend like I was a dj, even though I didn't know what a DJ did. But I would be, I would be conducting in my room to these songs and I was obsessed. I, This, I list. This one was on repeat. One of the earliest repeat records for me for sure. [00:37:04] Speaker B: Wow. [00:37:05] Speaker A: You wouldn't guess it, but this is, this is actually like a top 10 all timer for, for your boy Jake. Wow. Yeah. [00:37:15] Speaker B: Wow. Yeah. [00:37:18] Speaker A: So you felt kind of like when this dropped, you're. And everyone was really into it. You were just like, this is what I've been doing. This is, this is who I am. Like this. You know, now everyone, now all of a sudden, everyone's into it. [00:37:31] Speaker B: I had that like, you know, I had that ray of light moment for a minute where I was like, come on, what the. I've been telling you guys about this stuff all along. You know, I've been trying to, you know, push this sound, you know, push this down when I'm. When I'm 17. [00:37:49] Speaker A: That's a real thing though, you know, I mean, you're making tapes, you know, making mixes for people. That's a real thing. [00:37:55] Speaker B: It began like this slide into dance music is now pop music. So every, everyone's doing dance music. No, it helps along that way. So this song got, like, accidentally got radio play from, like, one of their DJ friends in Italy, and. And it became this. It just spread because it's real catchy. Like, they made a tune in a couple hours, and then a couple days later, they, you know, pressed it or whatever, and then they went to the clubs and they played it, cleared the floor. People are like, what the is this? No one wants to listen to this nonsense. And then it gets radio play and people recognize it. So there's a thing in DJing where you want to, like, remind people of songs that they like, but you also want to introduce them to something new, and that's a gamble because you never know. Like, people are there to dance. They don't want to experiment or hear something you haven't heard before necessarily. Certainly in those times, this became this crossover thing, and I think it helped that it was. You could apply your own lyrics to it. Daba di da ba da. Like, oh, my. Okay, yeah. [00:39:02] Speaker A: What are some misheard lyrics that you've heard over the past 24 years? [00:39:07] Speaker B: Well, well, blue. Like, my friends thought I was. I believe I will die. [00:39:12] Speaker A: Oh, I never heard that one. [00:39:15] Speaker B: I was like. I'm pretty sure it's not that. It says in the thing, like, parenthetical. Daba D. Like, I. I don't think I believe I will die. I believe I will die. Like, I don't think it's that. I've never heard that one. [00:39:27] Speaker A: I heard I'm in need of a guy. If I was green, I would die. [00:39:33] Speaker B: Yeah, the vocalist said that in the video. I said, if I was green, I would die. It's odd that people take this, like, dark version of it because I guess blue can mean regionally, like, sadness. But he didn't have. He didn't whatsoever. In Germany, it means drunk, you know, so, like, all this different. I got a girlfriend, she is blue as well. I got a blue Corvette. It's parked outside. You know, like, all this stuff, like. Like. Well, it just. It's just. It just means this color. This is. I guess, but, like, he. He was just going for, like, I think, nonsense. And then, like, allowing people to place upon them whatever they want it to mean. [00:40:15] Speaker A: That's. And that's. That's a. I mean, this. It's a. I don't want to say a novelty song. [00:40:21] Speaker B: Oh, it's pushing the limits of. I mean, I. [00:40:26] Speaker A: But to have. I mean, because I remember when I was a kid, I thought the song was about being sad, you know, like. Yeah, you know, I'm Blue. And my house is blue. I'm so blue that, you know, my car is blue, you know, but that's pretty cool how they were able to, like, you, like, you kind of touched on it, but people were able to, like, transfer these maybe what they were feeling, you know, like, I'm kind of blue and, you know, I. I don't know. [00:40:54] Speaker B: Or blue, like, it was just like a. It should be like a soothing color, you know, like. Yeah, yeah. And. And it's the sky. It could be. It could mean, like, reaching new heights. Like, you know, it could be. It should be a hopeful color, but somehow it's blue. [00:41:07] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:08] Speaker B: Thanks a lot, Jazz. [00:41:09] Speaker A: I know. [00:41:10] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess. I don't know. Did you talk about etymology? When did blue become synonymous with sadness? Well, that's something they could look up. [00:41:20] Speaker A: In that awesome video that you sent me. [00:41:22] Speaker B: Well, blues, I suppose. Blues. [00:41:23] Speaker A: It was called that. Done by Vice. Oh, that's very true. Blues. Very true. I got the blues. [00:41:31] Speaker B: Huh? Let's figure this out. Let's figure this out. That's. [00:41:34] Speaker A: That's really good. Elliot sent me this awesome video done by Vice. It's the story of blue dabadee by eiffel65. And they have interviews with the three main guys and Massimo, who I guess owned the studio or was like the producer at the studio. [00:41:51] Speaker B: The dude that owned the. Owned the. The Chimpanzee Warehouse. [00:41:56] Speaker A: The. [00:41:57] Speaker B: The. The. The guy that funded producers to, like, just crank out tunes. Yeah. [00:42:02] Speaker A: Bliss Corporation. [00:42:03] Speaker B: Yeah, Blissco. [00:42:07] Speaker A: And so he talks about, like, Elliot said, like, when they went to Germany to perform and they were like, oh, blue, you're drunk. Because blue means, you know, you're. If you're blue, you're drunk. In Germany, apparently. And then when they went to the uk, they said, why are you writing a song about being sad? You know, it's like, what? I know. It's just about being the color blue. [00:42:28] Speaker B: It's just about being the. It seems to be. What. [00:42:32] Speaker A: What other song stood out for you. [00:42:34] Speaker B: On Europop on Europa? Immediately I remember, like, how. Because I of course, bought the album on compact disc. [00:42:43] Speaker A: You had it on compact? Did you have the red one with, like, the cool, like, space album artwork? [00:42:48] Speaker B: I don't know if it was like the, you know, the interstellar looking one. I think it might have been. Oh, I feel like they had, like, another shitty version of it, maybe with, like, gradient and cartoons on it or whatever. Because the video for Blue. Holy. [00:43:01] Speaker A: Oh, my God. [00:43:03] Speaker B: We'll get to it. But like. But like, I got it because, like, I wanted to like Steady Blue and like, why is this a big hit? And like, okay, okay, I got it. It's catchy. And it's like, you know, it's like. It's like other anthems I see before and like, maybe even like, you know, Dirty Vegas. Like. Like, it just, like, it just hits at a certain point and it. And it. And it lands in the. In the monoculture perfectly. And it's just. It's catchy enough, you know, it's like Ace of Bass or whatever, you know, like before it and just like lands. This lands and people are ready for it. But. But Living in a Bubble. [00:43:38] Speaker A: Oh, man. [00:43:40] Speaker B: I think track four or five or whatever, like, like, I kind of knocked my socks off because I'm like, oh, they're good at this. And then like, I started really, like, appreciating like, oh, this vocalist is kind of a chameleon. And he's a. He's actually incredible. There's not. There's there's less like auto tune vocorder nonsense on Blue than you think there is. This guy is just kind of wild at singing. Like, he's bending his voice in a way that's like. That wasn't manipulated. Like, not necessarily auto tune or vocal, but like a harmonizer on him. This kind of like Elliot Smith Tim and like, like, duplicated his voice and like, I low, like. But Live in the Bubble has these amazing strings in it. I think they're gorgeous. [00:44:23] Speaker A: I listening to Living in the Bubble, those strings. Listening to it now. [00:44:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:44:29] Speaker A: I got Bittersweet Symphony. I was like, oh, wow, this reminds me of Bittersweet Symphony. [00:44:34] Speaker B: Sure. Why not? Of course. [00:44:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:44:36] Speaker B: So, breaking quartet. [00:44:39] Speaker A: Have I told you my Living in a Bubble story recently? [00:44:41] Speaker B: No. So recently. [00:44:44] Speaker A: So I was in a bubble. I was in a bubble. [00:44:49] Speaker B: Were you Jake Gyllenhaal and really sick and you had one on adventure. [00:44:53] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh, I forgot about bubble Boy. That's OG Jake Gyllenhaal, man. When I first heard Living in a Bubble, the way I heard Jeffrey J. Singing, I thought he was saying something about the Bible. I heard bubble as Bible. The lyrics for this song. He's talking about life in the bubble isn't real. And I remember thinking, like, as a kid being like, whoa. Like, what is he. What's going on? You know, like, what is he saying about the Bible? And so I just. Just seek marine. So it's like the lyric is, a bubble's no reality. You have to have a look outside. And I heard the Bible's no Reality. You have to have a look outside. The Bible is not. [00:45:37] Speaker B: Jake. [00:45:38] Speaker A: It's like a big psychological record for me, Jake. [00:45:42] Speaker B: I grew up. I grew up pretty churchy as well. Or at least, you know, by happenstance. I think I had the exact same conversation with my friends about this song. [00:45:51] Speaker A: Really? [00:45:52] Speaker B: Like, is he saying bubble or Bible? The track list says bubble. Yeah, but listen to him. [00:46:00] Speaker A: Like, what he's saying now in the Bible. Bible. That's how he's saying it. And it's like. [00:46:11] Speaker B: Reality. [00:46:12] Speaker A: I. Listen, I. We kind of had this idea to do this episode like, a couple months back. And for 24 years of. Of my life, I thought this band was talking about religion and religion not being real. And so when I listened to it, you know, in Spring or whenever it was on Spotify, I had the lyrics pulled up and it said, like, living the bubble is not real. I'm just like, no, no, no, the song's about the Bible. These are wrong. Spotify's wrong. [00:46:39] Speaker B: Oh, you thought it was living in the Bible? [00:46:41] Speaker A: Yeah, I thought it was like a song about, like, organize religion. [00:46:45] Speaker B: Well, this goes. This goes again to like, maybe perhaps like, what they were. Maybe where they were. Maybe they planned this, like, where you can adopt and adapt blue to whatever you want the lyrics to say. Like. And like, maybe if we, like, just distort the voice enough, people will just apply their own lyrics and message to it and it'll be whatever they want it to be. I. I wonder if there's a plan. Like, it's somewhat standards. It's very curious also, like, babble. It's not a very elegant word to sing, you know. Yeah, there's a lot of hard bees and like, all right, but like, but. And that's very curious. [00:47:22] Speaker A: And I was also, because, I mean, the opening track, too Much of Heaven, like, and I was already thinking, like, oh, maybe there's like some. Okay, like, maybe there's like some. Something deep. I remember being a kid and being like. Like I said, you know, you know, doing. Doing my thing in. In Catholic school. School. And just being like, listening to this, being like, man, these. This is. This is kind of heavy, you know. [00:47:45] Speaker B: And they like, just sadly, like, made a point. At least the lyricist did, who's fantastic, by the way. He seems like a really cool dude. [00:47:51] Speaker A: He seems like a really, like, very nice guy. [00:47:54] Speaker B: And like, listening to the entire album in full, like, Timberlake esque, like, performances like, oh, yeah. And like, right back into it, like. Like when he was, like, brought on into the collective. They're like oh we can do like American accent and an Italian accent and whatever. Like he sounds good when he's like auto tuned and he sounds good when he's like rapping or. Or on like you're a clown. When he's doing like a post punk depeche mode thing which is like pretty wild. That's the same guy. What the fuck? Like, like. Oh cool dude. So it's just like these are studio musicians. [00:48:28] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:48:29] Speaker B: That like accidentally made a huge hit. Like when like they're kind of chameleons and they can do whatever. But yes. Like too much Heaven is about like money is not what you want. You don't want like it's, it's, it's. It's bullshit. No, it's heavens around. It's like you're missing the point. There's a lot of that through line in this album which is antithetical to like especially the DJ thing at the time which was like money is awesome. It's the best thing ever. Look how rich these DJs are. And then cut to the DJ leaving the group. [00:49:00] Speaker A: Yeah. So I 65 they were kind of a short lived band. The. Although I think they, the. The Jeffrey and Mauricio still perform. [00:49:12] Speaker B: They still, they still. You can look up their tour dates right now. They're still playing out in. Good for them. [00:49:17] Speaker A: I would. [00:49:18] Speaker B: Let's go. [00:49:20] Speaker A: If they, if they come anywhere near here, we need to go. [00:49:24] Speaker B: Wouldn't they be amazing like if they just showed up at acl like that would be like huge poll. Oh people would lose their shit. [00:49:31] Speaker A: The same amount of time from like 1990 to 1960 is the same amount of time from like 1990 to now or something like that. Like it's, it's. It's 30 years. Like. [00:49:44] Speaker B: Yeah, that adds up. [00:49:45] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like that sounds so silly. [00:49:48] Speaker B: Sorry. [00:49:48] Speaker A: Sipping Memos it's like embracing of past pop culture sensations, you know that you saw you know in, in the 90s when bands were doing like the psychedelic thing, you know and Oasis was kind of doing like a Kinks thing. You know. We are in that era now where so many things from the 90s are being re embraced in fashion, in you know, in music and art and you know. Know you see it a lot of these like 90s tours. Like, like Creed is doing a. Like a, a tour where they're like, you know, they're reuniting after so long and they're playing with a bunch of other 90s bands. [00:50:29] Speaker B: Yeah, we're, we're. Then we're in the age of nostalgia, you know, like. [00:50:33] Speaker A: Yeah, because it's like with all the people that were. All the people that were, like, of age during that time are now older and at a point where they can share it with, you know, their own. Their own kids, you know, they can share it with their loved ones, you know, And I think it's. I think it's awesome because, you know, I was like, 11 when this came out the first time, and I. There's no way I was going to be able to travel to Miami to see them or. Or wherever they were. New York, you know, I don't even know 11. So. But yeah, I. If they were to headline, they. I mean, they would crush it. I mean, can you imagine how hard people will go to. To like, Blue? Like, that's. That's. I have it in my notes. But, like, Blue is one of the. One of the great pop songs of the 90s. 100. [00:51:19] Speaker B: Let him open up for Shania Twain. [00:51:22] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh. [00:51:23] Speaker B: October acl. Like, what are we doing? Like, like, they ended up opening up for Destiny's Child. They were doing crazy. They were. They said they were performing every day after. After April 11, 1999, which is when Blue blew up. [00:51:39] Speaker A: From what. From what I think we both kind of gathered from. From this Vice video. Is that Jeffrey, the vocalist? Really easygoing dude. He didn't have anything bad to say about anyone. No. [00:51:52] Speaker B: Neither did Mori, seems to be. Yeah. [00:51:54] Speaker A: He was just like. There was. Jeffrey was just kind of like, yeah, you know, I'm happy he's successful on his solo career, and he's got a lot of things going on. [00:52:04] Speaker B: Meaning. Meaning the DJ Gabri. [00:52:07] Speaker A: Yeah. So the Gabri Ponte, the dj, he wanted a solo career, and I think there may have been some dispute over songwriting credits and who did what. So it sounds like there might be some sour blood between Mauricio and Gabri. [00:52:24] Speaker B: But I imagine this would happen in a warehouse where you're just cranking out tunes and everyone's collaborating. [00:52:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:31] Speaker B: And one of them hits. Oops, Wait, who actually did what and what percentage? And like, all this, like, where did the. Where's the money go? Blah, blah. But, like, you know what, man? God damn it. Music is always a collaboration. [00:52:44] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:52:45] Speaker B: Maybe just be cool about it. But there's something to be said about, like, the vocalist and the pianist, who are Both amazing, don't DJ. And at 99, being a superstar DJ was a very big deal. Like, I don't know. I don't know if you did, but DJ as iPhone65. Or like, you know, just go on tour as the dude from 65, as whoever. You can make a lot of money because that was like peak superstar DJ era. So, yeah, that would add to. [00:53:23] Speaker A: You're young, you know, you. You know, I could see it, you know, and it seems like they're all enjoying doing what they're doing. I actually listened to some of Gabri's solo stuff, and he's got a song called Thunder with Lumix and Precioso. That's really good. It kind of reminds me of Eat, Sleep, Brave, Repeat, which Fatboy Slim and Calvin Harris collab. And also he's got a song called Monster with Lumix. And I'm not familiar with. With Lumix, but I'm just kind of reading from my notes. And so I was listening to this song and it's. It samples an emo song by this band I used to listen to called Megan Dia. So there I'm listening to it and I'm hearing Monster, how's your life feel? I'm just like, that's Megan Dia. [00:54:21] Speaker B: And yeah, so Megan Dia. That feels like a deep cut. I don't even know what you're saying right now. [00:54:25] Speaker A: Yeah, they're awesome. They're really cool. I saw them open up for Tom Delong, Angels and Airwaves. Actually, this album made me want to buy a synthesizer. I think they're using like, Yamaha and Roland keyboards. I try to. I try to look it up, but there's just only speculation. A song I didn't really understand when I was a kid, but I just kind of, like, was kind of giggling at it this afternoon was my console, which is just like a big. Oh, my God commercial for PlayStation. [00:55:02] Speaker B: Well, it's just like a list of the videos. Yeah, it's literally like Milgar Solid. [00:55:09] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:55:10] Speaker B: You know, Mario kart, like Tekken 3. I'm like, wait, is this a song? But cut to, you know, I don't know, a year earlier when Daft Punk's homework came out. And the. There's. There's a song called Teachers and they just list. They're just like. And they list off all their favorite DJs. There's a lit. So it's the same thing. Yeah, they're allowed to do it. [00:55:39] Speaker A: So watching that blue music video, they're talking about it. They're talking about the making music video. And they're like, oh, yeah, we can just take things we like from our video games and turn into a music video. Like Metal Gear Solid. [00:55:49] Speaker B: The video. Music video for Blue Is weird. [00:55:52] Speaker A: Yeah, it's very strange. Alien. [00:55:55] Speaker B: Talk about aliens and they're like throwing hadalkins and stuff at the end. I have no idea. It's very odd. [00:56:04] Speaker A: So, okay, so this album comes out Blue Ghost number two. Couple years later, Daft Punk drops Discovery, which does a lot more. It's got, you know, one more time, you know, very accessible electronica. Do you think Europop, being as, you know, as big as it was, was. Do you think it had an effect on the, like, maybe like the public mainstream acceptance or maybe like embracing of electronic music? [00:56:39] Speaker B: Oh, I was shaking my head no, and then I was like, oh, okay, maybe that's interesting. [00:56:47] Speaker A: I mean, because at this point, that punk already. Legends, you know, they've. [00:56:51] Speaker B: Well, they're. They're. They're legends. Exactly. Like, they're. But they're not like a household name. Household name, perhaps. Yeah. If you get the. The football chant. And I think this is like, this is the thing. If you get soccer fans to chant your song because it's that easily recognizable, memorable and sing alongable, you know, and it kind of gets people hyped. You're onto something. So I wonder if just like, you know, Moby making songs for car commercials, did. Did the music move towards, like, can this be chanted at a football game? Right. [00:57:41] Speaker A: Perhaps. [00:57:41] Speaker B: So, yeah, Discovery comes out in oh, one and. And, you know, one more time. It's like the big anthem and that's infinitely memorable. And they became this thing in. And forgive me the genre of Euro pop where like, if you get a good loop and then like throw a vocal over it and hit a kick drum and it's catchy enough, you're gonna have a hit. So Mojo's Lady Music sounds better with you by Together Fats and Smalls, Turn around these Loops. The apex of that is One More Time by Tomas Bengalter and Cristo Dafpong. And that like, destroyed that formula of a French house loop and a kick. It's like apex, we got it. We're done. Now. That's an odd thing to say because, like, well, there's still rock music after Stairway to Heaven or whatever, you know, but if something's so simplistic, that's like only four parts and you just like, like crush all four parts and it's a gun. You've annihilated a genre. [00:58:58] Speaker A: Right. [00:58:58] Speaker B: Of music. So did eiffel65 prep the world for Discovery? Maybe, yeah, that. [00:59:08] Speaker A: And I think you. I'm happy you mentioned play as well, because Play also came out in 99, but play is one of those. Really. It's like it's got one foot in, you know, that. That looping technique, you know, sampling, and it's got one foot in like that mainstream, you know. Like, it was enough of. Of both to be like, you know, to. To have like, mainstream acceptance and also, like. And also appreciation by. By the community of. Of. Of. Of electronica DJs, you know, like, that's. That's what I gathered from that. You know. Like. Like I said, I got. I got into play for my mom who, you know, had that CD because she, you know, I think she understood that it was something special about it. But, you know, and then. But she doesn't. She doesn't know, like, the things that led up to, you know, to. To that. Like that. And when you brought it, that's how I knew it was, you know. That's a very special record. Yeah, you're. I feel like Europop is just like straight pop, you know. Like, it's. It's not a challenging record. You know, it's. There's, you know, hardly any if. If any like, samples or. Or looping, you know. Like, it's. It's kind of like it's a decade's worth of, you know, electronic staples and. And visionaries condensed into this, like, pop. Pop album, you know. And like you said, it kind of like prepared the States for the monster that was discovered. Because that is. We haven't even. We haven't gotten there, but we will. I know. Because that's a. That's huge. [01:01:00] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. We'll get there. [01:01:03] Speaker A: I think that's an episode in and of itself where we're just going to dedicate. [01:01:08] Speaker B: Yeah. I think like this one. This one bleeding into the Billboard charts and being recognized as a pop sensation. It's also a dance record, which is not a big. Was not a big deal at the time. So we're talking dance here. It is what we call all these sub genres in the States. It was a big deal for this to bleed over into our market and certainly preface everyone for what's to come. And. But like, Moby's play certainly broke through and did a lot of business and even like, you know, radio play with Stefani and all that, but it was not Dance Music Blue. [01:01:52] Speaker A: The centerpiece of this album. [01:01:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:01:55] Speaker A: You know, has. It continues to pop up. It's. It's certainly. I. I love the way it's used in popular culture. [01:02:06] Speaker B: When was the last time you heard it in anything? [01:02:09] Speaker A: So the most recent one that comes to mind it opens up Iron Man 3. [01:02:16] Speaker B: Oh my God. [01:02:18] Speaker A: Yes. Yo, listen up. And you're story. So you're gonna go see, you know, RDJ and then your welcome to this movie by eiffel65. And you just, you're automatically transported back to 1999, which is when that first scene. [01:02:40] Speaker B: First scene takes place. I think it was meant to set you in that world. [01:02:43] Speaker A: Exactly. [01:02:44] Speaker B: But like, like, of. Of all the songs they could pick from 99, they go, they go. Yeah. [01:02:53] Speaker A: They could have gone with like something from Moby. They could have gone with like Link Wing to Jennifer Lopez, Destiny's Child, you know, but they went with eiffel65 because it's such a. It's. It's a time capsule, but it's, it's fresh. [01:03:08] Speaker B: It's very, it's very nuanced. And also probably pretty cheap to get to. [01:03:12] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:03:13] Speaker B: Let's be real. [01:03:14] Speaker A: But also recently, so the, the pop artists Bebe Rexha and David Guetta. [01:03:22] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:03:23] Speaker A: Who French DJ Ran with Daft Punk and, and you know, in the, in the old days. Yeah. They sampled Blue with their song I'm Good Blue. And they, they sample that iconic piano line as recently as this last year. [01:03:41] Speaker B: Sorry. [01:03:42] Speaker A: Yeah. So probably introducing a whole, a whole new batch of young people to eiffel65 and I think that's really cool. You know, like this or at least. [01:03:57] Speaker B: To Maurizio's piano plan. Like there's something about. Something about that. Mali is like kind of hits and it hit hard globally. [01:04:08] Speaker A: It's one of those. [01:04:08] Speaker B: Imagine like playing some of your guitar and the entire world really enjoys it. [01:04:13] Speaker A: I. I'm trying to think of what I mean, like probably the other thing I. Comes to mind is like Richie Blackmore's opening guitar riff for Smoke on the Water. [01:04:28] Speaker B: Like, oh, three, five, six. Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly. That's a great poll. I love that. I love that comparison. Oh, is this just the new Smoke on the Water? [01:04:42] Speaker A: Dude, I'm okay with it if it is. [01:04:46] Speaker B: I'm just blue. Yeah. My Corvette's parked outside. [01:04:53] Speaker A: Blue is the water. Corvette's parked outside or something. [01:04:59] Speaker B: I've got a girlfriend. She's also all blue. [01:05:05] Speaker A: Would you. Okay. Would you pick up Europop on vinyl or at least one of one. A couple songs on single. [01:05:11] Speaker B: Yeah. To have it. Oh my God. For sure. Yeah, of course. [01:05:14] Speaker A: Yeah. But yeah, this one, this one was really important to me. Like I said it. It'd probably be in like the 10 slot. But as far as like albums go, that really molded me. This is. This is certainly one of them. It really, it might have been like a light approach, but this is one that really made me appreciate electronic music and synthesizer work. Before this, I really hadn't had any experience. And yeah, this, this one really means a lot to me and it was a lot of fun to talk about. [01:05:50] Speaker B: How about that? I didn't know this was such a big deal for you, man. That's so cool. [01:05:53] Speaker A: I loved Euro Pop. My gosh. [01:05:56] Speaker B: Awesome, man. It's just simple drums, poker bass lines, a great melody and this guy's wild vocals. And it makes a, makes, it makes a great stew. [01:06:10] Speaker A: And a lot of many people don't realize what an enormous impact their physical surroundings have on their mental well being. Being surrounded by a home that feels like you and brings beauty and inspiration into your life gives you a feeling of calm and appreciation of the beauty in the world. You fill your home up with furnishings and items one way or another. Why not make them wonderful and a reflection of yourself?

Visit joycemarie interiors.com for more information and tell her Jake and Elliot sent you. So I think that puts a nice bow on, on eiffel65 and Europop. If you have not checked it out, I could not recommend it more. It's a really fun, light dance album that you could throw on if you're getting ready to go out, you know, doing dishes, cleaning the house. It's. It'll put a little pep in your step. [01:07:21] Speaker B: So definitely it's absolutely worth a listen. [01:07:24] Speaker A: Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. But so Ellie and I have bounced around this idea for a while. [01:07:30] Speaker B: Yes. [01:07:31] Speaker A: You know, the 90s are a lot of things. The 90s are, you know, hip hop. 90s are rock, they're pop, bag of pants, they're acoustic, they're, you know, ill fitting clothes. Ill fitting. Yeah. [01:07:47] Speaker B: A lot of bracelets. [01:07:51] Speaker A: But one of the things that I think a lot of, a lot of folks think about when you think about the 90s are the movies produced by the Walt Disney, Walt Disney Company. I know personally growing up, Aladdin, Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast were on repeat. Lion King, Tarzan. Just huge. Just huge. Huge. And aside from, you know, incredible storytelling and beautiful animation, what really makes these movies memorable are the songs that, that populate them. And we've talked endlessly about our favorite movies and TV shows and of course, albums. So we thought why not talk about some of our favorite Disney songs. So for next time, we're doing a very special episode and we're hoping to get on a really special guest. More on that later. But we're going to just have a chat about our favorite Disney songs. And in sipping Mimos fashion, it won't just be about Disney songs. We're going to talk about favorite Disney movies probably, too. [01:09:03] Speaker B: We'll go across the board. [01:09:05] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. I'm really excited and I'm. I think it's gonna be. I think it's gonna be pretty. Pretty fantastic. [01:09:12] Speaker B: That's. [01:09:12] Speaker A: Oh, Nick, Mickey, please. I know you're excited, but that was. [01:09:16] Speaker B: Jake, you're the real magic. [01:09:19] Speaker A: So I say. [01:09:22] Speaker B: I say eat shit, Jake. Uh oh. Hey. Get out of here, Foghorn brothers. [01:09:28] Speaker A: That's Liddy. We will probably have Space Jam at some point, too. That's totally wonderful. [01:09:37] Speaker B: Oh, boy. Space Jam. Well, there's a very famous. There's a very, very famous dance tune associated with that one. All right, anyways. Oh, God. Let's just do Space Jam anyways. All right, look. Look forward to that, everyone. And yes, as always. [01:09:52] Speaker A: Hey, stay sipping. [01:09:54] Speaker B: Stay sipping. [01:09:56] Speaker A: I'll catch you later. [01:09:57] Speaker B: Catch you later, bro.
