Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Like in most newer or old relationships, an argument about punk rock music is being made. We're so different.
I was just some punk rock kid from Bakerline. And you're.
You're Superman.
These words were said by Lois lane in the 2025 film Superman. She continued, my point is I question everything and everyone.
You trust everyone and think everyone you've ever met is like beautiful.
Clark Kent replies, maybe that's the real punk rock. James Gunn's Superman film ends with him realizing his true home and true self. Having accomplished wonders and saving the day, he sees his real family, the one that raised him and made him the kind person he is. A song plays by a Swedish band collaborating with the punk rocker himself and Iggy Pop. They had formed the band in 1991, playing grindcore and punk. Real rip your head off stuff. Early reviews of the Stockholm hardcore band were to be kind, mixed. Sound Effects magazine described it as the most painful earache they had ever encountered.
Metal Zone magazine said, sucks ass. Poke a beat on the drums. A singer that blows into the mic. Damn, I hate this kind of stuff. The band called Skull eventually changed their name and KE going. The band member Joachim said, we wanted to avoid cliches. Stuff like kill, death squad, murder, brunch and, well, that sort of thing.
Also removing the abbreviation for Stockholm from the band's name. Sort of like a certain French band uses. In 2005, the band formerly known as Skull donned the helmets, as it were, much like another band we talk about often. Oversized paper mache bear heads hid their faces, sometimes even covered with disco ball mirrors. The album Soft Machine was released in 2006.
They changed to a different sound.
From shock to joy, from anger to fun. Pure comedy movie trailer music. Everyone enjoys the song Cobra Style. Even covered by Swedish pop goddess Robin. The album was praised in Entertainment Weekly as the very distillation of sunshine. Kindness, they found was a powerful fuel and empathy. A perfect engine. Just as Kal El proposed.
Maybe that's the real punk rock.
Today on Sippinos.

No kidding.
[00:04:03] Speaker A: Hey Jake, how are you?
[00:04:04] Speaker B: Hey, Elliot. Hey and hello listener. Welcome back to Sippinos, the Internet's premiere sometimes, but not often. Mostly not Citrus based libation show wherein me, Jake and my partner Elliot dive into an album of rock and electronica to get to get to what makes that album special?
We have a very, very special episode for. For y' all today, something that Ellie and I have always talked about. We wanted to have, like, field correspondence, you know, of friends and family that go out there and experience electronica or rock music and come on the show and share their experience.
So with that, my absolute pleasure to welcome to the show Lauren.
Hello, Lauren.

The big Christmas tree ice skating rink right there by the Macy's?
[00:05:35] Speaker C: Yeah, I think that's soon. I feel like I saw something about that happening soon, but right there, I haven't walked by it in a minute.
[00:05:47] Speaker A: Could you just go there real quick and come back and check on it?
[00:05:50] Speaker C: Well, honestly, I walk, like, right by it a lot, but I.
Oh, my God. So.
Random side story.
[00:05:59] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:06:00] Speaker C: I was walking around that area last week and I was taking, like, some days off social media and the news, you know, just to, like, absolutely a little bit and, like, remember what life was like before.
Before you do it long enough, you're like, maybe everything's okay. And then you. And then you plug back in and you're like, oh, no, it's all back. Like. But yeah, while I was taking that break, I thought I saw Marshall on the street.
And I was like, our Marshall?
He's in San Francisco. So I'm not going to go up to that random stranger and yell, Marshall.
And then my, you know, moment of pause of it all ended. And I saw that, like, almost a day ago, he, like, made a story that he was in San Francisco. And I was like, damn it, no kidding. I think I saw you. And I was like, nah, I can't be. And I had no idea you were here.
[00:07:05] Speaker A: Oh, you didn't run up.
[00:07:06] Speaker C: I forgot you lived there. We're already on the road back to, you know, the next town for the band or whatever, but I think I saw him. Oh, is that happening
[00:07:20] Speaker A: for listeners? Marshall is a mutual friend of ours that we used to jam with and stuff. He's a lovely, lovely man.
[00:07:26] Speaker C: Sexy man.
[00:07:28] Speaker B: Oh, man, like, very sexy.
[00:07:30] Speaker A: Very sexual.
Sexual. Yeah.
[00:07:38] Speaker B: Top tier.
[00:07:39] Speaker C: Stolen. And we. We came together to get him a new sacks.
[00:07:44] Speaker A: But, yeah, I made. I made t. Shirts and bracelets leave
[00:07:47] Speaker C: town and never come back. Right.
[00:07:50] Speaker A: All right. Later, man.
[00:07:52] Speaker B: If you happen to see. If you happen to have a Marshall sighting in the wild, you know?
[00:07:58] Speaker A: Yeah. Listeners, if you think you see Marshall, let us know.
[00:08:01] Speaker B: Let us know. Right.

[00:08:52] Speaker A: This 10 cent bracelet means a lot to me. Like, oh my God, really? $10,000.
That'd be great. That's a funny. That's like a Rick and Morty episode.
[00:09:04] Speaker C: I love Rick and Morty.
[00:09:06] Speaker A: Do you?
[00:09:07] Speaker C: Yes. I was like saying. I remember our brother making fun of me for saying that it's like the smartest show on television. You see. Like, how can you say that Rick and Morty is the most like. Because it is like, I swear.
[00:09:23] Speaker A: Did he watch it?
[00:09:25] Speaker C: It's so funny.
[00:09:27] Speaker B: That's a. That's a great.
That's a great segue. So what have y' all seen?
Heard be eaten any good food lately?
Buy new candle. What does that smell like? What's been going on? Have you anything standing out?
Which guy?
[00:09:47] Speaker C: Sweet Mandarin.
[00:09:48] Speaker B: Oh, nice.
[00:09:50] Speaker C: Which I didn't know until just now.
[00:09:52] Speaker A: Your candle is sweet Mandarin. Like orange. Like a citrus.
[00:09:57] Speaker C: Yeah. But. Oh, no, like the language.
[00:10:01] Speaker A: It smells like Mandarin. The. The Chinese dialect.
[00:10:05] Speaker C: Very. Just sweet murmurs of Mandarin in your ear.
[00:10:08] Speaker A: Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
I rewatched Alien 3.
[00:10:14] Speaker B: One of the new cuts or the original Fincher OG cut.
[00:10:18] Speaker A: Well, OG original cut. Fincher disowns it, but I listened to it with a commentary by Blank Check. This podcast I enjoy that does like commentaries on their Patreon and all that.
[00:10:30] Speaker B: Is that Griffin Dunn? Not Griffin Dunn.
[00:10:33] Speaker A: Griffin Newman.
[00:10:34] Speaker B: Griffin Newman. I just watched American Wear Open London, so I got.
I've got done on the brain.
[00:10:41] Speaker A: I hadn't seen the only three in a long time. And I was like, I always remember. Like, that was. Yeah.
[00:10:45] Speaker B: Less.
[00:10:46] Speaker A: It's not. It's certainly not aliens and it's Not Alien, but I just remember being, like, you know, kind of gross and, like, dark. I hadn't seen it in many years, but, like, oh, listen to it with this fun podcast, like, commentary. And it is dark, it is grim, it is brutal.
Like, Ripley wakes up on a prison planet and Newt and Hicks are dead in the pod. So, like, it erases everything that happened in the last movie. And then she shaves her head and she's got a queen inside her chest. Spoiler alert bursts out. She dies at the end, jumps in, jumping into lava. It's brutal.
[00:11:21] Speaker C: Spoiler alert.
[00:11:23] Speaker A: Brutal. Yeah. Well, if you haven't seen it by now, go, you know, go watch it.
[00:11:27] Speaker C: I can never remember if I've seen any of those movies because I just, like, zone out, I think.
[00:11:31] Speaker A: Like, I. Yo, Predator Badlands, though. I'm just.
[00:11:36] Speaker C: Is that a new thing? Because I saw. I keep seeing Predator's face. Like, the.
[00:11:41] Speaker B: He's a very. Why I'm assuming he's a. He's a very handsome predator.
He's a very handsome predator this. This time around.
[00:11:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
He's so hot.
[00:11:52] Speaker C: What do you mean?
[00:11:54] Speaker A: I saw. I saw, like, a clip.
[00:11:57] Speaker C: Plants that eat people's faces, but just the mouth.
[00:11:59] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like a Venus fly trap. Yeah, essentially.
[00:12:03] Speaker C: Like, what am I.
[00:12:04] Speaker A: He's got mandibles. Would you leave him alone? He's doing the best he can.
[00:12:08] Speaker C: Ew. It's. So is the watcher, like, empathetic to Predator or what's happening?
[00:12:15] Speaker A: Well.
Well, that's interesting.
In the first Predator.
[00:12:20] Speaker C: Love him and stick up for him.
[00:12:21] Speaker A: Right now, he's just a beloved character. And, like, you know, if you go, is it 86, Jake, the first predator with Arnold.
[00:12:29] Speaker B: Let me check that.
[00:12:29] Speaker A: Is it 86?
You know, he's the villain of the movie. It's the monster. And, like, everyone's trying to get away from this monster. Blah, blah, blah.
[00:12:37] Speaker B: 87.
[00:12:38] Speaker C: He's the monster you love. Is that what's happening?
[00:12:41] Speaker A: Well, he was just so cool, and he captured everyone's imagination that it became. Yeah, I guess. And then once they started crossing over with aliens and, like, was Predator versus Alien, and everyone was kind of rooting for Predator because these aliens and, like, like, you know, and Predator. Predator could get it done. I don't know.
[00:12:59] Speaker B: Everyone.
[00:12:59] Speaker C: Predator talk.
[00:13:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
I saw a clip of the new Predator, and, like, there's two predators talking to each other, and they had subtitles. And I said, no, thanks.
I don't want that at all.
[00:13:11] Speaker C: Because it's not, like, a real language that we could Use here.
[00:13:15] Speaker A: Well, I believe their species is called Yautja.
[00:13:18] Speaker B: Yautja. I was just. Just googling that.
[00:13:22] Speaker A: It's a bummer.
[00:13:23] Speaker C: You googled it.
[00:13:24] Speaker A: It's a real bummer that I didn't
[00:13:25] Speaker B: have to hide my prep. Hide my Predator tattoo.
[00:13:31] Speaker A: But I don't. I don't want to know their language. Like, I don't want that. It's just the show. Don't tell what they're saying. But, like, he's got like one of the Olsen twins on his back.
[00:13:41] Speaker B: Whatever.
[00:13:41] Speaker A: That's like a not awesome twin. Who is the. Who's the girl?
[00:13:45] Speaker B: Elle Fanning.
[00:13:46] Speaker A: El Fanning, One of the Fanning girls on his back who's like a Android that's been cut in half and she's gonna help him fight all these monsters.
[00:13:53] Speaker C: It is on his back.
[00:13:55] Speaker A: Like, he's tied her to his back. She's an animal.
[00:13:58] Speaker C: He grew one of the Fanning sisters.
[00:14:00] Speaker A: No, listen to.
Oh, all right.
Lauren has to go, so we're just going to go ahead and talk about music with Jake.
Lauren's got something going on.
[00:14:14] Speaker B: I think she may have loses her legs at some point in a battle.
And so the predator, the handsome predator befriends her and Chewbacca C3PO's her and they go on battles together. Yeah, or Avengers together.
[00:14:35] Speaker C: What is she?
[00:14:36] Speaker A: She's an Android. I feel like we've been going over this and over this.
This is what, Jake.
[00:14:42] Speaker C: This is what I feel when I watch these movies. I'm like, wait, what's happening? What?
[00:14:46] Speaker A: And you just repeat yourself.
[00:14:48] Speaker C: Like just a circus going on.
All this.
Wow, you're so upset.
[00:14:54] Speaker A: I'm joking.
Jake, what have you seen?
[00:15:00] Speaker B: I watched the new Fantastic Four yesterday.
[00:15:06] Speaker A: Oh, first time. What'd you think?
[00:15:08] Speaker B: Really enjoyed it.
[00:15:09] Speaker A: You did okay.
It.
[00:15:12] Speaker B: I saw your letterboxd review and I do agree.
I think I kind of had an unfair advantage because, you know, I. I read some Fantastic Four, but it's such a huge universe. I do think it could have benefited from some a little bit more backstory, you know, what are they? Origin, you know, a kind of story.
So. I agree. I, you know, I think I should have hearted it, but. But I like. I mean, that cast, they're all so charismatic. Um, and, uh, yeah, I really liked it. I'm excited. I'm excited for.
To see how they're going to do Dr. Doom. That's going to be pretty cool.
[00:15:56] Speaker A: I heard we're getting like a Doomsday trailer in a couple months or something.
[00:15:59] Speaker B: Oh, man, that'd Be cool. I can't even.
[00:16:03] Speaker A: L train. Are you like. Do you like, know what we're talking about at all or like the Marvel movies?
[00:16:08] Speaker C: This kind of genre just kind of like, I don't know.
[00:16:13] Speaker A: Lauren, have you been to the movies at all?
[00:16:15] Speaker C: Binge them all in one night? Like have like a theme night where I do like the superhero. I can like do it and be into it.
[00:16:23] Speaker A: I'll tell you right now, that's a. That's a four day weekend.
[00:16:27] Speaker C: What?
[00:16:28] Speaker A: I said I'll tell you right now, it's a four day weekend. That's a lot. That's a lot of film.
There's a lot of movies.
[00:16:36] Speaker C: I'm just saying, like, I can go on like a.
I don't know. Not my thing really. A normal. I mean, the last movie I saw was a rewatch of Benny and June. So like, I think I'm just on a different.
I'm too nostalgic for like, I don't know, the old days.
I want like no phone, you know, and like.
[00:17:00] Speaker B: Was it Benny and June?
Oh, I watched that for the first time recently.
[00:17:05] Speaker A: For the first time?
[00:17:06] Speaker B: Yeah. I'd never seen it.
What would you think?
Let me see what I thought on letterboxd.
[00:17:13] Speaker A: Let me look up what I thought.
[00:17:17] Speaker B: Well, because. Because.
[00:17:19] Speaker A: Hit us immediately. We're done.
You know, because I, I for one, welcome our alien overseers.
[00:17:31] Speaker B: I watch music videos before bed most nights.
90s music videos.
[00:17:38] Speaker C: That would be too hyped up.
[00:17:39] Speaker A: I know I would be like, yeah,
[00:17:41] Speaker C: I can only do that when I'm like drinking and like, yeah, up for a while.
[00:17:47] Speaker A: That's like an early evening thing.
[00:17:48] Speaker C: Break out the 90s.
[00:17:50] Speaker A: Crazy.
[00:17:52] Speaker B: It's like a. It's like a comfort for me. And I never realized that the Proclaimers Walk 500 miles was from Benny and June.
[00:18:05] Speaker C: I didn't know that was a nine. That's not a 90s song, is it?
[00:18:10] Speaker B: I think it's late 80s. But it's like the, the music video is like all like is. Is. Is the movie. You see like Johnny Depp doing. Doing the chair sweep, doing like the hat trick.
[00:18:26] Speaker C: Is that how you watched the movie, was through the music video?
[00:18:29] Speaker B: Pretty much that. That's pretty much.
[00:18:35] Speaker A: Two and a half minute clips on VH1's YouTube page. Yeah.
[00:18:40] Speaker B: Speaking of Johnny Depp though, I. We went to go see Paul McCartney a couple weeks ago.
[00:18:44] Speaker A: Damn it. Dude. You see the legend.
[00:18:46] Speaker C: How do you.
[00:18:47] Speaker A: How are you getting out with a kid right now?
[00:18:50] Speaker B: Very, very understanding and loving in laws. Shout out my in Laws.
[00:19:00] Speaker A: See the thumbs up?
[00:19:01] Speaker C: Oh, how are you getting all these, like, balloons and bubbles and we're talking zoom.
[00:19:06] Speaker A: Guys, it's weird now because, like, the AI, it doesn't do.
[00:19:09] Speaker B: It doesn't. It never does it for me.
[00:19:11] Speaker A: No, it is usually.
[00:19:12] Speaker B: Question, can you do it Thumbs down.
[00:19:15] Speaker C: Is it this AI companion thing that I have not. It worked.
[00:19:20] Speaker A: Sometimes it reads my thumb. I don't know.
[00:19:25] Speaker C: Well, but request Elliot.
[00:19:28] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:19:29] Speaker C: To allow me to have AI companion.
[00:19:31] Speaker A: The participant asked you to.
Okay, I will start AI Companion.
Don't get. Don't get distracted. We're supposed to. We gotta keep this on track. Ish.
[00:19:48] Speaker C: It's just like, a slow load. It's just like one of those.
[00:19:52] Speaker A: All right, great.
[00:19:54] Speaker C: Oh, no. Well, actually, this is quite helpful because, like, catch me up. What were they just saying?
So when you guys. When you guys talk about hero superhero movies and I zone out, I can ask AI what you said, but it doesn't give me, like, balloons or bubbles.
[00:20:13] Speaker A: That's pretty cool.
Oh, how was Paul McCartney?
[00:20:20] Speaker B: Amazing.
He. He was wonderful.
But in it, he played a solo song called Valentine for. For his wife.
And they had Johnny depp from, like, 10, 15 years ago and Natalie Portman doing, like, sign language for all the lyrics.
It was. It was kind of crazy. Yeah.
[00:20:46] Speaker C: Like, on the screens, they had already, like, recorded it for. Interesting.
[00:20:50] Speaker B: Yeah.
And I saw. And someone on Reddit was like. Someone on Reddit was like, who's the act? Who's the actor?
Who are the actors in.
Featured in the Valentine video? And I just felt super old, so.
[00:21:09] Speaker C: But it just told me, AI is transcribing this. Should I tell it to stop?
[00:21:15] Speaker A: No, that's the part of our. Well, you can tell this up, too.
[00:21:18] Speaker B: Sure.
[00:21:20] Speaker A: The final edited version will be transcribed on our podcast thing.
Post edit.
[00:21:28] Speaker B: Should we.
[00:21:29] Speaker A: Should we tell people that Lauren's my sister? Because otherwise they're like, what the fuss going on?
Even I'm pretty confused at this point.
Who the.
Maybe we'll get away from MCU and, like, Lauren.
[00:21:51] Speaker C: Okay, so on the podcast, because I want to go see Air Moon Safari, right? Which you guys have talked about on a previous podcast, correct?
[00:22:04] Speaker B: Yes, absolutely.
[00:22:05] Speaker C: One of my podcasts. Just, like, I binge superhero movies once in a while, and, like, honestly, there was, like, a day when I lived in Hollywood where I listened to, like, so many of your podcasts in a row that it was ridiculous. Yeah. Because I feel like I need to, like, catch up. But then, I don't know. Honestly, it makes me, like, sad to, like, hear voices. I Miss you guys. So that I was like, I can't, like, do it all the time, but I can, like, just binge it, like, once in a while.
[00:22:33] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:22:33] Speaker C: So that's what I do. I feel like I might have heard the error 1. When was that?
[00:22:39] Speaker A: Boy.
[00:22:40] Speaker B: Oh, man. Let me see.
[00:22:42] Speaker A: Hang on.
See? Race to the.
[00:22:46] Speaker B: Let's see.
I love our new.
I love our new logo.
[00:23:00] Speaker A: You do?
[00:23:01] Speaker B: Oh, it's so good.
[00:23:05] Speaker A: Oh, we did no doubt versus air February 16, 2023.
[00:23:08] Speaker B: Oh, you beat me to it.
[00:23:10] Speaker C: Oh, my gosh. Two of my favorites.
[00:23:13] Speaker A: Tell us about that. Tell us about how much you, like,
[00:23:15] Speaker C: no Doubt been on. On that episode.
[00:23:17] Speaker A: Tell us about your Stefani experience.
[00:23:21] Speaker C: So, Gwen, is the music videos. I watch it.
No, but I mean, there has been parties where, like, they go really late, and it ends up just being, like, people on the living room floor watching Gwen Stefani music videos. Because, yeah, I think if you're making hands. Hands. Are you something to say, Elliot?
[00:23:48] Speaker A: I think I've been to a couple of those parties.
I haven't.
Gwen and Brittany.
[00:23:56] Speaker C: Well, yeah, and then Brittany, of course.
But yeah, I. So what was surprising to me, I guess, is how many people don't know who Air is.
[00:24:10] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:12] Speaker C: Because I had bought, you know, two tickets, assuming that, like, people knew and, like, no one knew who they were. And I was like, well, maybe, you know, everyone wasn't obsessed with the Virgin Suicides.
[00:24:26] Speaker B: I wanted to ask you. Okay, we'll get there. We'll get there.
[00:24:29] Speaker A: We'll get there. Okay.
[00:24:29] Speaker C: How it started, right, Was.
[00:24:32] Speaker B: So did.
Did you discover or did you, like, really? Oh, who is this?
Virgin Suicides or, like, me?
That scene where they throw the flyers for Bogey Loewenstein's party in 10 things I hate about you. And they play sexy boy.
[00:24:51] Speaker C: Right.
So sorry. My dishwasher's probably. Crazy noises right now. I feel like. Did those two movies come out in the same year?
Was it 99?
[00:25:04] Speaker B: I'm on it.
[00:25:05] Speaker C: I think they may have come out together. And I watched both a lot of times.
[00:25:12] Speaker B: Oh, shoot. You're totally right. Yeah. 99.
[00:25:15] Speaker C: Wow.
I'm telling you, 99 was the year for movies. There are so many bangers that came out in 99.
Like, unreal.
[00:25:29] Speaker A: Yeah, absolutely. I have a theory about that. Like, that's when we got the Matrix and all that. Like, it was because some creative. Creative types thought the world might end.
And so I got to get my script out there.
[00:25:41] Speaker C: Since then, I've just gotten tired because
[00:25:43] Speaker A: that's why everything's cheating.
[00:25:49] Speaker C: Yeah. I Had this like whole discussion with the.
With the LA movie about 99 and all the movies. We were all kind of like figuring it out.
We were talking. It was, you know when that time was it time that came out with thing where you could rate the best movies of the century. It recently was a thing New York.
[00:26:13] Speaker B: It's like. Like the AFI kind of deal. Like.
[00:26:16] Speaker C: I don't know. So anyway, we got on this whole discussion of it and I guess there's like a book written about that year.
[00:26:23] Speaker B: Yeah, so is. I think I. I think I have it saved when I get my.
My. My monthly credit. Best Movie year ever. How 1999 blew up the Big Screen by Brian Rafferty.
[00:26:37] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:26:40] Speaker C: Does he say it's because they all the world was ending?
[00:26:42] Speaker A: Yeah, that's fine.
[00:26:45] Speaker B: I'll report back.
[00:26:47] Speaker C: 1990.
Because my friend like sent that to the chat and I was like, no, we all just figured this out for the first time. No one's written a book about this.
I didn't actually investigate what their theory was.
I thought maybe like new technology came out. Yeah, the Matrix did that no one had seen before. Right.
[00:27:09] Speaker A: Yeah, that's not so is like Force Awakens. So they're. If you. I guess. Yeah. If you consider like perhaps ILM working on Star wars, was working on tech. Tech that would like three years before
[00:27:21] Speaker C: working on some of the best movies. Don't have anything to do with that. Right. Like, they don't. The best one came out that year. Nothing to do with effects or.
[00:27:29] Speaker A: But you know, a few years before when they were probably starting to work on those movies was 1997. And. And I've stated before on this show that 1997 was like the best year for electronic music ever.
Like, half of the albums I've submitted,
[00:27:48] Speaker B: they're all like 97 albums.
[00:27:50] Speaker A: I think it's just like when I really got into it.
[00:27:53] Speaker C: Well, well, also, I mean, I feel like there was a big uptick in films using electronic music. No, like.
[00:28:02] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, that's when it got like. Yeah. Mainstream and popular. And later when we talk about our bands and I like, boy, like, talk about. We, you know, we talked about, you know, Moby and Fat Boy Slim, like getting all their songs in every movie trailer and movie and all that movie play.
[00:28:23] Speaker C: And the. What was the Fat Boy Slim album?
The Praise youe Album.
[00:28:27] Speaker A: You've come along.
[00:28:28] Speaker B: You've come a long way, baby.
[00:28:29] Speaker A: Yeah, all those are in like every car commercial and all this nonsense. And it was just a way for them to break out because those songs aren't really played on, you know, TRL or VH1 necessarily. But like, that was. That was their end to the monoculture.
[00:28:47] Speaker B: So Lauren, you mentioned.
[00:28:49] Speaker C: I remember listening to those CDs like in a Walk in a Discman, like, and have. With headphones. I fell asleep to Porcelain by Moby so many times.
[00:29:00] Speaker A: Very cool.
[00:29:01] Speaker B: So I guess. I guess before we talk about how you discovered air, I guess we should let the listener know. How do you and Elliot know each other?
[00:29:11] Speaker C: Oh, I thought he already did that. Are we editing that?
[00:29:15] Speaker A: I said we should probably let everyone know that Lauren's my little sister.
[00:29:20] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:29:21] Speaker C: Yeah. Emily's little sister. Sister.
[00:29:25] Speaker A: So.
[00:29:25] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:29:26] Speaker A: I think once we're past a certain age, little sister sounds sister.
[00:29:31] Speaker C: He's my big brother sister.
[00:29:35] Speaker B: So what, Elliot, you kind of touched on it that they are talking about.
[00:29:39] Speaker C: This is baby, almost 40 year old sister.
I still have a couple years.
[00:29:46] Speaker A: Well, hey, on the podcast, I'm 26. Like, so you got to be. What?
[00:29:49] Speaker B: You know, I'm. I'm actually still in high school, so.
[00:29:54] Speaker A: Where's kids having fun on the Internet, man.
[00:29:57] Speaker C: You guys can like get a grant if you're in high school.
[00:30:00] Speaker B: Yeah, we met on the message boards and there, you know, so.
So you kind of touched on it with Moby's Porson. But like growing up with such a
[00:30:15] Speaker C: Elliot as my brother.
[00:30:16] Speaker B: Yeah, you know, electronic music aficionado. Did Elliot introduce you to electronic music back in the day?
[00:30:28] Speaker C: So it's interesting because I have always felt like my taste in music has been.
Has had so much variety because of each sibling of mine and growing up, what each of them kind of brought to me because everyone had different tastes. And Elliot, yes, the electronic but like also Dazed and Confused soundtrack and also, you know, some classics. So Elliot also got me like classic rock and you know, Prodigy. I remember like being in fifth grade listening to Prodigy.
[00:31:03] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:31:05] Speaker C: What are you doing? Are you okay?
You know, like just a little girl walking down the halls listening to Fire Starter or whatever.
[00:31:15] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:31:17] Speaker C: But then, you know Paul, our other brother. Our other brother. My other brother, he was like all about slime and Dave Matthews and Fish.
[00:31:30] Speaker B: Fish.
[00:31:30] Speaker C: And you know, he was a big Floyd guy.
He wasn't like a fish head, but
[00:31:38] Speaker A: he like Pink Floyd. He like, he got me into electronic music. He's like an orbital on it, really.
Paul has. Paul has all. Our eldest brother has quite varied tastes. He's got.
[00:31:51] Speaker C: Yes, no, of course. I'm just saying, like back in the. We were all in a house together.
[00:31:55] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:32:00] Speaker C: What was that?
[00:32:01] Speaker A: There's four of us, dude.
[00:32:04] Speaker C: What was the. Okay, so Paul visits us and we both live in New York. Doesn't everyone know that Elliot used to live. Wasn't. Jerk.
I don't know if that's still a
[00:32:16] Speaker A: joke, but it's still a joke.
[00:32:18] Speaker C: And yes, visited us and we were drunk, wandering the streets, singing that.
[00:32:22] Speaker A: ATB, 9pm Till I come.
[00:32:25] Speaker C: Okay. Never remember who does that song.
[00:32:27] Speaker A: ATB.
[00:32:28] Speaker C: ATB. ETB. ATB, ATB.
And what time?
[00:32:35] Speaker A: 9:00pm Parenthetical, I'm not gonna remember that. All right, thanks for asking.
I'll send you a link. Jake, this is what Thanksgiving is like. It's.
[00:32:46] Speaker C: It's whether one of the songs that he introduced you to or did that come later?
[00:32:53] Speaker A: Oh, that's a good question. Boy, I'm trying to think of that timeline.
[00:32:56] Speaker C: It had a point, what I was saying. I just. It just take a while to get there.
[00:33:00] Speaker A: No, I love it.
That one specifically. That's tricky.
I think we both found that on our own.
[00:33:12] Speaker C: On your own? Separately. Alone. Together.
[00:33:15] Speaker A: Yeah. It's a big old song.
[00:33:18] Speaker C: A big old song.
[00:33:19] Speaker A: It was a big.
[00:33:22] Speaker C: Did they ever do any other songs that stuck? Because that will be stuck in my head, like, forever.
[00:33:27] Speaker A: Did Andrew Ten Burger, ATB make another song?
[00:33:31] Speaker C: Oh, ATV stands for something.
[00:33:33] Speaker A: It's kind of sort of his initials.
[00:33:36] Speaker C: I'm bad at acronyms, so.
Okay, maybe I'll remember his full name. Jake, Are you okay?
[00:33:45] Speaker A: So Jake just went and got Chinese food and came back. We're still talking.
No.
[00:33:53] Speaker C: No. Okay, so he's been just like, silent, laughing on screen.
[00:33:58] Speaker A: Yeah, he's laughing at us.
[00:34:00] Speaker B: No.
So.
So having, like, been introduced to, you know, electronic music. Electronic music. Like Prodigy. When you watch Virgin Suicide, did. Did you kind of go into. We call it like the Mimos ear, you know, where you kind of like, go into it, like. Oh, this. This is really interesting. Like, what this soundtrack is doing. Who is this? Like, what was your.
What was your experience about Virgin Suicides, A movie we have talked about a lot before. So what was that?
[00:34:39] Speaker C: Like, have you on the podcast or you just saying, like, you and me.
[00:34:43] Speaker B: Us? Yeah. As like, a group? Oh, yeah.
Mainly it's. It's mainly it kind of always veered more toward Josh Hartnett. Like most. Com. Like most conversations.
[00:34:55] Speaker C: Do you talk about Josh all the time?
[00:34:58] Speaker B: Yeah. Friend of the show, Josh Hartnett.
[00:35:01] Speaker A: I'm just gonna step out and pick up my Chinese takeout real quick. I'll come back.
[00:35:06] Speaker C: No, so with. With this, it's. It's different. So I didn't say yet what Erica introduced me to. And that was like, you know, Elliot Smith, but also bikini killed, but also Sinead o'. Connor. Yeah, like, all of these, the Cranberries. I mean, the list goes on and on and on, but I don't think anyone had introduced me to air, but Elliot had given me the book, the Virgin Suicides, as like, a Christmas present.
[00:35:37] Speaker A: Merry fucking Christmas.
That's brutal.
[00:35:45] Speaker C: I mean, I didn't take it like that, but I can't remember if he gave me the book before or at. You know, I think it might have had a movie.
[00:35:54] Speaker A: Was I working at Schuler? Was it working at. Working at the bookstore?
[00:35:58] Speaker C: Yeah, maybe you gave that to me after. I liked.
[00:36:00] Speaker A: I didn't get you the music or anything.
[00:36:05] Speaker C: What?
[00:36:05] Speaker A: I didn't give you the soundtrack or anything?
[00:36:10] Speaker C: No. So I think I watched the movie with Erica and then you had given me the book. But I immediately love the soundtrack.
I love how that movie looks, and it just fits so perfectly.
And, Elliot, you're like, what is going on? You're like Blair Witching out there.
[00:36:36] Speaker A: Yeah, just ignore me.
[00:36:37] Speaker B: Keep going.
[00:36:38] Speaker C: Camera's all moving around.
[00:36:39] Speaker A: I'll mute myself.
[00:36:40] Speaker B: Sorry,
[00:36:44] Speaker C: what am I saying? It just fit this mood and, like, how. I don't know. That was my first, like, Sofia Coppola movie. And, yeah, it just had this, like, feeling to it that was new and everything. Just. I'm, like, not going to be eloquent in any way, but go for it. I loved it, like, immediately. And, like, Playground Love and I don't. All of those songs.
I don't. I feel like I started listening to them a lot during that time, and then Moon Safari became the main album I listened to. But that's not the Virgin Suicide music.
[00:37:31] Speaker B: So what was that. What was that experience, like, going from, like, really being taken by, you know, the score or, you know, the soundtrack to Virgin Suicides, and then hearing Moon Safari, which came out a year, I
[00:37:45] Speaker C: think it was seamless.
You know, like, same kind of a little bit of a different vibe, but, like, was, you know, into it right away.
And then it just became such, like, a staple. I thought, like, it surprised me how many people were like, who's Air? What are you talking about?
And I guess maybe it's, you know, maybe I wouldn't have gotten into it or known about it as much if I hadn't read that book and watch that movie. Like, I don't know.
And I know, you know, they also were in translation, and I didn't think, you Said yeah, the Alone in Kyoto something Kyoto. I think it's alone. And it's such a dope song. They ended up actually so in the concert they place through Moon Safari, like start to finish.
[00:38:46] Speaker B: Okay. Okay, so let's. Let's. Let's set the stage.
[00:38:49] Speaker A: So.
[00:38:51] Speaker C: Okay, let's set the stage.
[00:38:52] Speaker B: Okay. So.
So air, the French band celebrating the 20.
[00:39:02] Speaker C: It was 25 years.
[00:39:04] Speaker B: 25 years of.
And it came to Austin and Elliot and I definitely talked about it, but we couldn't make it happen.
[00:39:15] Speaker A: It's a tough go.
[00:39:17] Speaker C: Yeah. No. I got tickets originally a year or two back in LA and I ended up not being able to go. I don't remember why, but then I was like, oh cool. They're like still touring and they came here. So I was like I'll.
Let's try this again.
I was like glad that it wasn't just like a one year thing because that's what I thought.
[00:39:42] Speaker B: So what. So what was the. What was the show like?
[00:39:50] Speaker C: Air was so I.
My date was a carafe of wine that they let me buy.
Concession stand.
[00:39:57] Speaker A: You went so pretty sweet because you
[00:39:58] Speaker C: can just a whole craft. Yeah. I texted you and was like Elliot, I'm all alone at the Air concert was sure here, man. But like off your phone.
[00:40:09] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:40:11] Speaker C: But I was in the bathroom. They hadn't even started yet.
Still absorb the ambience airing and texting you guys. I was. I felt this put away during the during show.
Okay.
First of all, like they don't sonic.
[00:40:27] Speaker A: Okay, wait a second. Go ahead.
[00:40:29] Speaker C: No, go ahead.
[00:40:31] Speaker A: It's what a privilege because they don't. They haven't toured in a long time and certainly not that album. And like that's. It's like a really big deal.
[00:40:39] Speaker C: It's so cool to kind of.
Okay. I never imagined that I would see Air do, you know, play the album I've always loved. Like I didn't. You know. It's really kind of cool getting old because all your favorites start touring the you used to love. You know, like.
[00:40:57] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:40:58] Speaker C: Or Loved first and that's fun. I wish Radiohead would do okay. Computer. I would die.
Or they're touring right now. Would you guys. Who would you want?
What are the top three reunion tour albums you would want to see?
[00:41:19] Speaker A: That's such a good question. That's insane. That's insanely good question. Okay, Lauren should show. I quit. This is crazy. That's a good question.
[00:41:27] Speaker B: That beat my question because I was gonna say what album tours. But I like this one so much. Better. Okay, okay. 10 second tops.
[00:41:37] Speaker A: I've always wanted to see Chemical Brothers in their prime, like, doing Surrender.
That era.
[00:41:43] Speaker B: Orbital.
[00:41:44] Speaker C: Did you never see them?
[00:41:45] Speaker A: I've never seen Chemical Brothers live.
[00:41:47] Speaker B: Wow.
[00:41:48] Speaker C: For some reason, I totally thought you had.
[00:41:50] Speaker A: It really bums me out.
Orbital. I've always wanted to see live because. Of course. And, like, they were just in Austin, like, doing a, like, throwback, like, really early albums. And, like, the. I'm still mad about it. Like, the algorithm failed me and didn't alert me to it. And I'm so bummed. I would have. I would have gotten babysitters. I would have, like, switched work nights. I would have sorted it out.
And it wasn't, like, a dumb, like, 130 show. I could have. I could have. I could have done. It makes it so mad.
Beyond that at all. Jake, Jake.
[00:42:21] Speaker C: Are they, like, European people? Like, where do they normally. They never normally tour. Where do they.
[00:42:28] Speaker A: Well, yeah, they're. They're in Europe and they're old, so it's like they're. They're wrapping it up, so they're probably never gonna come to Austin again.
[00:42:36] Speaker C: Well, let's go to Austria instead and see them there.
[00:42:40] Speaker A: Well,
[00:42:43] Speaker B: I would. I would say the Smiths.
I think that would be. That would have been incredible to see.
[00:42:51] Speaker C: Louder.
[00:42:53] Speaker B: Oh, I had that on vinyl.
Honestly. Daft Punk. I think I. I would jump at that.
Third. Who would I want to see Reunion?
Oh, man, that's good.
I just finished listening to Paul Stanley's audiobook, and even though he said it wasn't a good experience, I would say the original.
The original lineup of Kiss, featuring Peter Chris and Ace Freely. Ace Frehley, Rest in Peace. That would. That would have been cool.
[00:43:41] Speaker C: But, like, happened to you during this audiobook. I am, like, so curious.
[00:43:47] Speaker B: But when they were. But when they were still, like, a grimy, like, New York band opening for, like, opening for Iggy Pop and the New York Dolls, that would have been. That would have been cool. But the.
[00:43:57] Speaker A: But the question isn't. Isn't time travel? It's.
It's veterans revisiting an old album. Right? That's the question.
[00:44:05] Speaker B: Okay, okay, okay, okay. So Daft Punk. Okay. Smiths.
[00:44:08] Speaker A: Those are all still, what, doing homework or Discovery?
[00:44:14] Speaker B: I think Discovery. That'd be cool.
[00:44:16] Speaker C: You have to choose.
[00:44:17] Speaker B: Oh, oh, oh, oh. You said. Sorry. You said a lot of them bombs.
The Queen is dead for the Smiths.
[00:44:25] Speaker A: What? Yeah, I love news. What happened to the queen?
Poisoned her.
[00:44:33] Speaker B: That punctu. Discovery and. Oh, man, now I'm gonna think about the third one?
[00:44:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I struggle with the third. I said, like, you know, I said, of course, like, my dumb electronica bands. But, like, man, I don't know.
[00:44:47] Speaker C: Elliot, you know who I randomly thought of and listened to last night?
[00:44:52] Speaker A: Who?
[00:44:54] Speaker C: So you have Orbital, but then there's also the or Orb. They're different.
Well, Little Fluffy Clouds.
[00:45:03] Speaker B: Little fluffy clouds to my mind.
[00:45:05] Speaker C: And I was like, who the hell did that song? And I had to Google, like, woman talking about the skies when she was little. Like, I couldn't remember the lyrics. Like, what were the skies like when you were little?
And it was like, little fluffy clouds. But the orb, you dumb. So then I like, listen to it again. I was like, this song is so good. I just, like, totally had forgotten about it.
[00:45:29] Speaker B: That's one of the ones.
That's one of the ones I returned to a lot. I really enjoy that one.
We were. Yeah, I really like Little Fluffy Clouds.
We were also.
I think Elliot ran to grab something, but I was at work and they were playing.
They were having, like. Like a day party and they were having, like, vendors and stuff there, and they started playing.
Did y' all ever listen to Children by Robert Miles? It's a real pretty piano.
[00:46:02] Speaker A: Oh, here it is.
[00:46:03] Speaker C: I don't know. You have to play it for me.
[00:46:06] Speaker A: This is a Little Fluffy Clouds by the Awesome.
[00:46:09] Speaker C: I just got it, like, the single.
[00:46:12] Speaker A: Yeah, I got it from the record convention that I went to.
[00:46:16] Speaker B: Oh, killer.
[00:46:18] Speaker C: Like, recently.
[00:46:19] Speaker A: Yeah, very recently.
[00:46:21] Speaker C: Do a lot of people know who the Orb is? Do I just know lame people who don't like music or, like, what's happening,
[00:46:27] Speaker A: you know, super cool people that know very niche music right here. This is.
[00:46:32] Speaker C: They are very cool people.
[00:46:33] Speaker A: This is Robert Miles, Children.
[00:46:36] Speaker B: Oh, I was literally just talking about that.
[00:46:38] Speaker A: I know, I know. That's why I brought it up.
[00:46:42] Speaker C: Someone play it for me. Do I know it?
I might just not know the name of it.
[00:46:47] Speaker A: It's a classic trans piano. Trans tune. Yeah, they were at length on the show.
[00:46:51] Speaker B: They were.
They were having like a little, like, day party at work and that song came on and I was like, oh, oh, children. This is Children, right? And they're just like. I don't know. It's like.
[00:47:04] Speaker A: But they would play this.
[00:47:05] Speaker B: He. I was like, they. He would play this at the end of the night so that. That way that children could all go home and get home safe.
[00:47:12] Speaker A: That's right.
[00:47:13] Speaker B: And they would go home and listen to Little Little Fluffy Clouds.
[00:47:16] Speaker A: Robert Miles wrote the song, wrote this on Children as a. As a closer to his dance sets so everyone would be contemplative and be safe when they got home.
[00:47:26] Speaker C: Oh, I thought you were talking about this in, like, a weird, haunty way where he was just, like, at his piano, thinking that, like, if he played this song, that kids would be safe. Like, oh, man, are you okay? Like, that kind of thing. I had no idea what the hell you were talking about. AI, help. What are they talking about?
AI, summarize this conversation for me.
[00:47:53] Speaker B: So what. What. What are some standouts from.
From the show?
[00:47:57] Speaker C: Okay, yes, so it was at the Masonic, which, I don't know, like, the seat count, and I'm not the most spatially aware person, but it felt like. How. You know, the first. I HEAR you have 20 of them now, but the first Moody Theater. Yeah, yeah, the. The one that, you know, feeds people but feels, like, slightly intimate in your proximity to the band. Right.
[00:48:27] Speaker B: Okay, that's. That's what we. We all saw. Well, not together, but separate nights. Brian Wilson. Right.
[00:48:34] Speaker C: We all saw him separately.
[00:48:36] Speaker A: We all didn't.
[00:48:38] Speaker B: Y' all go, like, the first night, and I was there the second night?
[00:48:40] Speaker C: Like, each of us went a different night by ourselves.
[00:48:44] Speaker A: We. I saw Brian Wilson.
[00:48:47] Speaker C: Brian Wilson. I don't remember who I was with. And I do remember it feeling sad because I just watched that documentary and Elliot's slinking away. I was just thinking about, like, his doctor with that duffel bag full of pills or whatever. What are you holding up? I can't see.
[00:49:06] Speaker A: I'm holding up. I am Brian Wilson.
[00:49:09] Speaker C: Oh, there you are. You got big again.
It was just like your little square.
How's that book? Did you read it?
[00:49:19] Speaker A: Boys at the Beach.
What?
[00:49:22] Speaker B: Right?
[00:49:23] Speaker C: Will you. Will you read it to us?
[00:49:24] Speaker B: Spoiler. Yeah, the rest of the episode.
[00:49:28] Speaker A: Everyone.
Everyone, buckle up.
Should I start with praise for one to Melinda?
God only knows what I'd be without.
[00:49:44] Speaker C: Like, no, I don't think recently he was playing flying somewhere. Wait, or am I?
[00:49:48] Speaker A: Like, is Wilson still with us?
[00:49:51] Speaker C: Did he finally die? I mean, I don't mean it like that, Jake.
[00:49:54] Speaker B: I. I think he passed.
[00:49:57] Speaker C: Like, we're hopping timelines every day here. I don't even know who's dead or alive or where I'm at right now.
[00:50:01] Speaker A: It's not the Mandela effect. It's the Brian Wilson effect. Like, no, I'm pretty sure he's still
[00:50:07] Speaker C: sad and on a bunch of pills.
[00:50:09] Speaker A: Like, Beach Boys didn't do Kokomo. That was the Stones. Like, what?
[00:50:17] Speaker C: Where are we?
So the first song I was ever just so sad on film for which sounds so odd to say, but our childhood music video to Kokomo.
[00:50:35] Speaker A: No one's gonna know what you mean.
[00:50:36] Speaker C: Celebrating Elliot's birthday. What?
[00:50:38] Speaker A: No one's gonna know what you mean by that.
[00:50:40] Speaker C: You're like.
[00:50:41] Speaker A: Our childhood music video. That doesn't mean anything.
You have to tell the story.
[00:50:45] Speaker C: Then what?
It was Elliot's birthday and we were celebrating at one of those theme parks that you find in Florida. Which one was it?
[00:50:55] Speaker A: I think it was at the time. Pleasure Island.
[00:50:59] Speaker C: Pleasure Island?
[00:51:00] Speaker B: I've never been. I never went to Pleasure Island. Was that an Orlando joint or.
[00:51:05] Speaker C: There was. I have, but I don't remember remember it.
[00:51:07] Speaker A: Let's get Nick from Mickey and minutes on the phone.
He'll know. He'll know all about it.
[00:51:12] Speaker C: Have you heard that there's been like five deaths at Disneyland in the past two days?
[00:51:17] Speaker A: Past two days?
[00:51:19] Speaker C: Yeah. Maybe three now.
[00:51:21] Speaker A: Come on.
[00:51:23] Speaker C: But they have these, like, weird laws about people who die in the park and like.
[00:51:30] Speaker A: Anyway, there's a weird thing about it. Yeah. I want to be. I want to be on.
[00:51:35] Speaker C: I'm sorry, I forgot I'm supposed to talk about the air concert.
[00:51:38] Speaker A: Right, Right. But also.
[00:51:40] Speaker C: Okay, so
[00:51:42] Speaker A: what was that? Something just fell.
[00:51:45] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't know what it was. It was off my desk.
[00:51:47] Speaker A: It was a Mickey Mouse doll. Like, stop talking.
I'll you up.
[00:51:53] Speaker C: Never have Disney place.
Pickles is up. Hey, girl.
[00:51:59] Speaker A: Hey, Pickles.
[00:52:01] Speaker C: That toy knocked her out. I think it was.
[00:52:03] Speaker A: I told Jake if we get Lauren going, it's gonna be a two parter.
[00:52:07] Speaker C: I'm sorry, guys.
[00:52:08] Speaker A: No, I'm not mad about it at all.
[00:52:10] Speaker C: I'm so add. Like, I can't keep one conversation running. I can only do five at once with you, you know.
Okay, we got Disney. We've got atv. Did I get it right? No, that's like a thing.
Oh, ATV is what you drive.
[00:52:28] Speaker A: All terrain vehicle.
[00:52:31] Speaker C: Anyway. All train vehicle, 9:00pm okay, so you
[00:52:36] Speaker A: walk into the Masonic to see air.
[00:52:38] Speaker C: Yes.
[00:52:39] Speaker A: Then what happens?
[00:52:40] Speaker C: Buy a craft of wine.
[00:52:41] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:52:41] Speaker C: Then I go find my seat and someone bought my ticket last minute. So that was cool. It was like another girl by herself who was like, so stoked to be there and.
[00:52:52] Speaker A: Oh, that's great.
[00:52:53] Speaker C: That was fun to sit by her because.
Oh, so what is the Watch the Stars song?
[00:53:01] Speaker A: Kelly Watch the stars?
[00:53:02] Speaker C: Yeah. Kelly watched. That's not unm. Right?
That's.
[00:53:08] Speaker A: Oh, boy.
Hang on.
[00:53:10] Speaker C: I thought it was like an extra, but I'm not positive.
[00:53:14] Speaker B: Looks. Looks like it is.
Did they skip that one?
[00:53:20] Speaker C: No, they did it. But I Just didn't know if it was part of the Al Orn. I couldn't remember.
[00:53:25] Speaker B: Yeah, looks like it is. It's a track four.
[00:53:28] Speaker C: Ew, is that early?
That line must have hit hard. She was so happy when that played. Anyway, so the opening band, which I never caught the name of, was intense.
Like, I didn't know there was an opener.
[00:53:45] Speaker A: Can we look it up? Who is opening?
[00:53:47] Speaker C: So worried about being on time. What'd you say?
[00:53:50] Speaker A: Can we look it up? Who is the opening band now? I'm very curious.
[00:53:53] Speaker C: Yeah, Jake's the Google guy, right?
[00:53:55] Speaker B: Let's see.
[00:53:56] Speaker C: Tonight he is this chick and this dude.
[00:54:00] Speaker A: This chicken. This dude. Oh, sure. No, I don't know.
[00:54:08] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pickle, why are you crying?
[00:54:11] Speaker A: For listeners. Pickle is Lauren's cat.
[00:54:15] Speaker C: Yes. It's not just like a pickle that I have a.
[00:54:20] Speaker A: She just has a dill pickle.
[00:54:21] Speaker C: Huge.
[00:54:22] Speaker A: Oh, hi. I forgot about you.
[00:54:24] Speaker B: Hello.
[00:54:25] Speaker C: Hey. You're so cute. Do you want to say hi to your uncle?
No, that's rude.
[00:54:33] Speaker A: I'm one of the only people that Pickles likes.
[00:54:37] Speaker C: Look who it is.
[00:54:39] Speaker B: Hey, bud.
Hey, Pickles.
[00:54:42] Speaker A: Miss you.
[00:54:43] Speaker C: Can you hear her crying?
You don't want to be here.
[00:54:49] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:54:52] Speaker C: Okay. Anyway, opening band, I couldn't even, like. Well, she had, like, a good voice, but it was, like, very, very intense. And they had this insane lighting that was like, I'm really light sensitive.
[00:55:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:55:12] Speaker C: And I was like, oh, my God, I think I'm gonna have a seizure. Like, I had to, like, look down, like, kind of have my, like, hand above my eyes for a minute because there was no, like, warning.
[00:55:23] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:55:23] Speaker C: I wasn't prepared for it. I didn't know. And it was just like. And it was going, like, into the crowd, like, into your eyeballs.
It was very, very intense. And so I was kind of distracted by that. Pickle, you're fine.
Sorry. She's just needy in her old age. She gets mad if I'm not paying attention to her. So anyway, I was like, oh, shit. I hope, like, this whole show isn't like this. This is very uncomfortable.
[00:55:54] Speaker B: Comfortable.
[00:55:58] Speaker C: And then Air had great light show with their. With their.
So it was, like, just really pretty. And it wasn't right in your eyes.
Stripping lights. So, sure, that was nice because I could pay attention and enjoy it, and it's good.
But yeah. So it's sort of strange because I was thinking about it, knowing that I was going to talk to you guys about it, and I was like, you know what? I don't think they addressed the crowd, like, once.
Like, I don't think I heard either of the dudes ever speak.
They just kind of like arrive on stage wearing these white, like, body suit. Bodysuits. Pantsuits.
[00:56:45] Speaker B: Jumpsuits.
[00:56:48] Speaker C: Like a full. Something like this, right? Yeah. I don't know what you would call that. What do you really. Because body. It's not.
[00:56:55] Speaker A: I mean, like a word, like short sleeve. Jumpsuit.
Hey, Jacob.
[00:57:00] Speaker C: Jumpsuit.
[00:57:04] Speaker B: Did we all bring our air vinyl to this?
[00:57:06] Speaker C: They both walk on and, like. So there's only two of them, right? Officially.
[00:57:12] Speaker A: Officially, yeah. But they have. They have their.
[00:57:14] Speaker C: There's also like a drummer and they got their guys, like, also disappeared at some point. So anyway, they walk on and they're just immediately. You're just in this, like, zone, I guess, of this album. Like, they just dive right in and the lighting's all cool. It's like a really cool vibe.
And these are like just the coolest two French dudes ever, you know, playing.
[00:57:41] Speaker A: Well, hang on then.
[00:57:42] Speaker B: Well, I think. I think Elliot has some keyboard. Elliot has some words about that.
[00:57:46] Speaker C: Was playing both. What. What happened when she. First of words.
[00:57:52] Speaker A: You said, the coolest two French dudes ever. I was like, well, asterisk.
We'll talk about it later. Go ahead, keep going, keep going.
[00:57:59] Speaker B: Two French dudes, Gu Manuel and Thomas. Thomas Begalder, the Daft Punk guys.
[00:58:11] Speaker A: I. I didn't want to interrupt your flow. Now we're dead in the water.
[00:58:16] Speaker C: What if Daft Punk is air with helmets on, though they also wear hazmat suits?
[00:58:27] Speaker A: That would be a big coup. That'd be pretty wild.
[00:58:29] Speaker C: Did they.
Did they get over that mystery of thinking Daft Punk was,
[00:58:36] Speaker A: what, Banksy or something? What?
[00:58:39] Speaker B: Oh, just mean. Elliot.
[00:58:42] Speaker A: Yeah,
[00:58:44] Speaker B: they're not even French
[00:58:49] Speaker A: now. Their accents are offensive.
You were 13 when homework came out.
[00:58:59] Speaker B: What the.
[00:59:01] Speaker C: No, that was what Massive Attack.
Massive Attack is that they thought.
[00:59:06] Speaker A: Yeah, There was a rumor that someone
[00:59:08] Speaker C: thought four days lined up with the art.
[00:59:13] Speaker A: Someone thought Banksy might be a member of Massive Attack or at least affiliated with them. And maybe. But who knows?
[00:59:19] Speaker C: But maybe it's been Air and Daft Punk all along. Maybe that's the. Do people actually know who Daft Punk is? Or are they.
[00:59:24] Speaker A: Yeah, they know.
[00:59:26] Speaker B: Actually.
[00:59:26] Speaker A: Recent news. I sent Jake a link.
Tomas Tama Beng just showed up and DJed without the helmet for the first time in 16 years, and people are losing their minds.
[00:59:39] Speaker C: Where did he show up? Hearn?
[00:59:42] Speaker A: Yeah, he showed up at our folks place, some club in France, and he's like, there he is. Like, he's like, you know what?
[00:59:49] Speaker C: I'm gonna take my helmet off for this.
[00:59:55] Speaker A: Otherwise I get spaghetti everywhere. That's Italian.
[00:59:59] Speaker C: Italian person, duh.
[01:00:01] Speaker A: How else I may eat. Meant to eat my baguette if I
[01:00:05] Speaker C: do not take off as many stereotypes as we can for everybody.
[01:00:15] Speaker A: Okay.
[01:00:17] Speaker B: That's Swedish.
[01:00:19] Speaker A: We'll get to it, Jake.
[01:00:25] Speaker C: Anyway, so we know who Duck Punk is. Have we always known? What am I thinking of? Who did I think is a mystery?
[01:00:38] Speaker A: Well, this is a long conversation, but, like, a lot of these guys tried. Try to shroud themselves in mystery. There was a. For a minute there, people thought justice was Per was produced by deaf punk.
Yeah.
And like, they were asked in an interview, like, yeah, Yep, it's true.
Tomas and Guy Manuel made our album. That's why it's better than their other work, and that's why we're touring it. Like, they're like, no, there's no way.
We're not approaching that level of anything.
No. It's Tomas Bengalter and Gibe Cristo is Daft Punk. They just don't like their photos out there too much.
Their names are on the album. I don't know.
[01:01:32] Speaker C: So it's not three kids in a
[01:01:33] Speaker A: trench coat sneaking into total recall in 1992 or something?
[01:01:43] Speaker C: I saw. What band was that? Oh, my God. Because my mind is just blanking on names.
It was these guys dressed as, like.
I don't know, they almost, like, Power was a teddy bear. They were in these, like, Power Rangers suit sort of things.
Robot suits. And then there was one guy who was just in a bear costume, I think.
[01:02:06] Speaker A: Flaming Lips.
[01:02:07] Speaker C: They did electronic music that sounded like. I don't know. I was like, I bet this. These are, like, Daft Punk's nephews, you know? And no one knows who they are, I don't think.
I feel like I'm trying to look up. If I have. Have.
[01:02:25] Speaker A: Is it with a C? Is it capacom or something like that?
[01:02:35] Speaker B: I'm gonna get a refill. I'll be back.
[01:02:37] Speaker A: Of course.
[01:02:38] Speaker C: Twrp. Twerp.
[01:02:40] Speaker A: Oh, twerp. Yeah, I've heard of that.
Was it cool?
[01:02:45] Speaker C: Not into it.
[01:02:47] Speaker A: I. I'm too familiar.
[01:02:50] Speaker C: You what?
[01:02:50] Speaker A: I'm not too familiar.
Oh.
[01:02:53] Speaker C: I mean, I wasn't. I just went to the show. I had no idea who they were. But Sarah and her friend Veronica were really into them, and it was fun as hell. Yeah, they're. And they were. I feel like you would like them a lot.
[01:03:07] Speaker B: Sure.
[01:03:11] Speaker A: Thanks for coming on and hanging Out.
[01:03:13] Speaker C: Am I making any. I feel like I just sound like a lunatic.
[01:03:17] Speaker A: This is way more on. On. On topic than we've been in a long time.
[01:03:22] Speaker C: Really.
[01:03:23] Speaker A: This is like our garage, our dad's garage band. Fun thing that we do. It doesn't matter at all. There's no stakes.
It's cool. We're just, we're just chatting and if people like it, that's great. No big deal.
[01:03:35] Speaker C: Yeah, it felt like, I don't know, it felt like I was in someone's basement back in the day listening to my favorite album, but like I'm on a really good drug or something and there's just like two French ghost men playing music.
[01:03:52] Speaker A: Ghost men.
[01:03:53] Speaker C: I mean, they didn't. You're in a vibe, like, because they didn't talk to you. They didn't like break out. They just like went through the album, you know?
[01:04:03] Speaker A: Yeah. Do you like that or do you want to. Do you want like a band to
[01:04:06] Speaker C: like, say, no, I loved it in this situation because you're all there to hear Moon Safari, right?
[01:04:12] Speaker A: You want to vibe the out like red wine.
[01:04:15] Speaker C: Like you wanted it fluid.
[01:04:17] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:04:18] Speaker A: Because if they were like, hello San Francisco, like they would take you out of it.
[01:04:22] Speaker C: That's fine. On like a normal show where you don't know what you're going to hear,
[01:04:27] Speaker A: you know, Sultry date, date music man.
[01:04:31] Speaker C: Well, you know, I didn't have a date, so I didn't really think. Feel that way, Elliot. But.
[01:04:37] Speaker A: But the lady next to you, that was into it. Hello.
[01:04:41] Speaker C: No, it. For me it was just like fun. It almost felt like I was doing it for my middle school self. You know what I mean? Like it felt like.
[01:04:53] Speaker A: Sure.
[01:04:54] Speaker C: It felt like, my God, if 13 year old me knew that we were watching this. How fun is that?
Yeah, I don't find them necessarily like romantic music.
We got Chris Isaacs.
[01:05:10] Speaker A: We should have like a.
Well, let's talk about, like
[01:05:16] Speaker C: just do a Chris ISA Isaac single episode.
[01:05:21] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
Games who's like, yeah, like, what's the horniest songs you could think of? Like, well, okay. Wicked Games. Wicked Games. Wicked Games.
I can't think of a hornier song on my playlist.
[01:05:35] Speaker C: I shuffle all the time and when it comes on and I'm just like walking around downtown, it's the funniest thing ever. Like, I'm always just like, okay, let's get all Wicked Gamey. Like, wicked gamey through crowded streets. Wicked Gimme.
[01:05:50] Speaker A: That's a. That's what a guy from Boston says when he bites into his Deer that he just killed. That's wicked. Gamey.
[01:06:00] Speaker C: I don't know. That sounds Scottish and weird and wrong.
[01:06:02] Speaker A: You know what, Lauren? Jake doesn't critique my impersonations.
Lauren has to go. Thanks for your review.
[01:06:16] Speaker C: He's so rude.
But Jake, I was saying, I mean, I was telling him how kind of like, the vibe it was. And like, since they. They went through the album like, straight without addressing the crowd, it was like, almost better that way because you were just like, in it, you know, and it was like you're listening to it in someone's basement and, you know, but there's this cool light show and like these weird French dudes.
[01:06:44] Speaker A: Did they do. Did they do like an encore of any sort of.
[01:06:48] Speaker C: So they didn't, like, pretend they were going off stage to come back, but they just kept playing music. So they did do Playground Love, which I was stoked for because that's not on the Moon's Barry album. Unless I'm just, like, out of my mind.
[01:07:02] Speaker A: No.
[01:07:02] Speaker C: Am I out of my mind? You just double checked.
[01:07:04] Speaker A: I did.
[01:07:05] Speaker C: We both got it just, like, glanced right. For those who can't see.
[01:07:09] Speaker A: Well, yeah, I'm looking at it. Jake likes talisman, as I, if I recall.
[01:07:12] Speaker B: Oh, I'm a talisman dude.
[01:07:15] Speaker A: Kelly, watch the stars, guy.
[01:07:16] Speaker B: For sure.
[01:07:17] Speaker C: Yeah. They played. Okay, so that's on the album. So they played that. They played Playground Love and then they did the Kyoto song.
[01:07:25] Speaker A: Wow, cool.
[01:07:26] Speaker B: That's awesome.
[01:07:27] Speaker C: Which I can't. Is it Walking?
What is it called?
[01:07:30] Speaker A: I think it's Alone in Kyoto.
[01:07:32] Speaker C: Alone.
I believe so. That was the one, Jake, that was in Lost in Translation.
[01:07:39] Speaker B: Okay.
[01:07:41] Speaker C: And it's. I'm sure you know it if you heard it. It's.
It's really good.
I wish we could, like, play music while we did. Like. Like, we're like, we're DJs.
Like, we're Benjamin Franklin.
[01:07:53] Speaker B: Like, we're like Willie Nelson.
[01:07:55] Speaker A: We can if we want to.
[01:07:58] Speaker C: It'd be kind of fun.
So the keyboardist who would just stand there in his white jumpsuit and he played two keyboards at once on both sides of him.
And I swear he was, like, staring me in the eyes while he was doing this, which I know, like, isn't real. Like, I know that everyone in the audience thought he was staring at them in the eyes, plays two keyboards at once.
[01:08:31] Speaker A: He's like the Mona Lisa if he played two keyboards at once. It's like he's eyeing everything.
[01:08:36] Speaker C: Yes, exactly. And like, he's standing so French too, while he does it. Like, everything Is so French about these guys standing.
[01:08:44] Speaker A: So French.
[01:08:46] Speaker B: That's my favorite way to stand, you
[01:08:48] Speaker A: know,
[01:08:51] Speaker B: with two keyboards besides always two keyboards.
[01:08:55] Speaker A: Keyboards akimbo.
[01:08:55] Speaker C: But I was like, wow. I don't think I've ever seen someone play two keyboards at once and also stare at me in the eyes.
[01:09:06] Speaker B: That's awesome.
[01:09:06] Speaker C: But that was cool. That takes talent.
I heard that there were people who were like sad because the. The female vocalist on God, I can't remember the name of that song, but
[01:09:23] Speaker B: it's like Beth, right? Beth Hirsch on All I Need.
[01:09:27] Speaker C: Yeah, it's a call I need. Yeah.
She wasn't like touring with them, you know.
[01:09:34] Speaker A: Did they have a feel?
[01:09:35] Speaker B: Did they did the opener, which I think was. Was it I. I. Iowana Geeka.
[01:09:41] Speaker C: Oh yeah. Because we all would remember. So what is that? Swedish? Norwegian. Norwegian. What is that?
[01:09:48] Speaker B: Let's see.
[01:09:48] Speaker C: Icelandic?
[01:09:52] Speaker B: Greek.
[01:09:53] Speaker C: Greek.
[01:09:55] Speaker B: But she's.
Yeah, from born. Born in D.C. but she's a Greek American musician.
[01:10:02] Speaker C: Okay, boring. I thought she was like Definitely not
[01:10:07] Speaker B: from D.C.
did she come out or did they have. Did they have like a pre recorded vocal or.
[01:10:14] Speaker C: Oh, I thought we were talking about the opener.
[01:10:16] Speaker B: Oh no.
Did the opener come out to do.
[01:10:20] Speaker C: I thought we were talking about the opener because I thought you're asking if. Wait, who's from D. The girl. The woman in the Air track.
[01:10:29] Speaker B: Oh, the opener. Sorry.
[01:10:31] Speaker A: Did you find the opener?
[01:10:34] Speaker C: Yeah, we tracked her down in D.C.
[01:10:37] Speaker B: yeah, she's from D.C. her name is Iowana. Geeka.
[01:10:40] Speaker C: I thought she was like from a forest in Sweden or something. Something. And she's so boring.
[01:10:44] Speaker A: Sweden, you say?
[01:10:47] Speaker C: I thought she was like Icelandic or Swedish or Norwegian or something weird, look.
[01:10:53] Speaker B: Oh, actually, so the Beth H. Who did. Who does the.
The vocal part on All I Need is actually from Tampa, Florida.
[01:11:04] Speaker A: Tampa?
[01:11:05] Speaker C: Yeah.
[01:11:07] Speaker A: On the Air album. A Girl from Tampa is on air.
Let me see these liner notes.
[01:11:13] Speaker C: I mean, I rarely. I mean, I probably shouldn't admit it on a podcast, but I unfortunately was born in Florida.
[01:11:22] Speaker A: Lauren. We'll cut that out.
[01:11:25] Speaker C: We'll edit that out later.
[01:11:28] Speaker A: It's like, we don't need that. You don't need that out there. You don't want. You don't want that heat. You don't want that heat right now.
[01:11:37] Speaker B: You might get doxed, you know, like good.
[01:11:40] Speaker C: Like a really scary, scary thing to tell to admit, you know?
[01:11:44] Speaker B: Yeah,
[01:11:47] Speaker C: it's.
[01:11:47] Speaker B: It's a safe. It's a safe, safe place. Safe space.
So did you.
[01:11:56] Speaker C: Yeah, they. I heard that they like use samples, but like I think.
And I thought in this show, they just did instrumental, but.
[01:12:07] Speaker A: Oh, okay. Interesting. Yeah. Like, how much of it was pads?
[01:12:12] Speaker B: Like midi.
[01:12:12] Speaker A: Yeah. Kind of like lifted from the previous recordings and what was live.
[01:12:17] Speaker C: Oh, and I meant to say this. So. Okay. We need to talk about the album. Made me listen to, because.
[01:12:27] Speaker A: Well, yeah, we're gonna.
We should probably.
[01:12:29] Speaker C: I know, I know, I know. I'm sorry. And just taking so long to talk
[01:12:32] Speaker A: about, like, you do your thing, man. This is delicious.
[01:12:36] Speaker C: But I heard that in my. In my 1 minute and 30 second research that. That album, because I'm like, what am I listening to? Is this someone mixing things? Is this a band? Is this, you know, like, what's happening?
[01:12:57] Speaker A: What's the question?
[01:12:59] Speaker C: With your. With the album you had me listen to Teddy Bears. I couldn't tell if, like, things were being sampled or things are, like, happening in the room.
You know what I mean?
[01:13:08] Speaker A: In the room. I like that.
[01:13:09] Speaker B: Yeah.
[01:13:10] Speaker C: And then I read that they were, like, taking most of that from songs they had already had on other albums.
[01:13:17] Speaker A: Some select few. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, so before.
[01:13:23] Speaker B: Before we'll dive. Before we dive into Teddy Bears, Lauren, we have a. We have an ongoing thing on SIP Memos where we. Whenever we talk about shows, we say, you know, did you buy this shirt? Like, did you buy the T shirt for air? For the show?
[01:13:42] Speaker C: I should have, shouldn't I?
[01:13:45] Speaker A: You always buy the shirt. That was my. Honestly, that was my next question. What was the merch like?
[01:13:51] Speaker C: I didn't even look at the merch. Boobs.
I was.
[01:13:55] Speaker A: There's, like, kind of classy.
[01:13:57] Speaker C: And then I was like, where's the bathroom?
And I don't.
I don't think I even glanced. You should have though, huh? Yeah, an air shirt would be pretty sweet.
[01:14:10] Speaker A: On Sick of Nemos, we say hashtag by the shirt because you're always gonna regret.
[01:14:15] Speaker C: Right? And you know what? I have never bought merch at any show that I've been to that I can recall.
[01:14:23] Speaker A: Ever, Ever. Like, here comes the garbage truck. I gotta mute. Hang on, you guys.
[01:14:29] Speaker C: So Jake and I went to a show that I still think about all the time because it was like that hurricane benefit show.
So it has, like, a bunch of people, like legends.
[01:14:46] Speaker B: I actually.
James, Paul Simon.
Simon, of course, Willie, Edie Rate.
[01:14:56] Speaker C: Right.
[01:14:56] Speaker B: Yeah,
[01:14:59] Speaker C: that's. And I remember you disappeared to, like, go to the bathroom or get a drink or something. You came back with T shirts.
And he had bought me, like, a concert shirt. And I was like, oh, like, I never even think to get these.
So it's funny that that's like your tagline, because Jake is the T shirt merch guy. I could see that.
Elliot, I haven't seen your new apartment yet, and now I'm seeing, like, angles of.
I dig it.
[01:15:29] Speaker A: Thank you.
I muted myself because the garbage guys here, it's wildly loud.
[01:15:38] Speaker C: Those were like, pretty city lights.
[01:15:40] Speaker A: No, no, that's the garbage.
[01:15:42] Speaker B: Is that ACL? Like, that looks cool.
[01:15:45] Speaker A: ACL's a whole different story, man. It's pretty wild.
That's. That's inside.
[01:15:49] Speaker C: When you saw McCartney, Jake, was that at ACL?
[01:15:53] Speaker B: So that was that.
It was in San Antonio, which. Which was great because I remember that night. I was severely dehydrated at ACL and had a.
At ACL when. When he. I think he headlined that that Friday.
[01:16:11] Speaker C: Were we there at the same time? I was like, on a lot of drugs.
[01:16:16] Speaker B: I. I believe. I think we were, because I remember I was.
[01:16:21] Speaker C: Amazing show.
[01:16:23] Speaker B: He was. He was great. But the thing, like, about halfway through,
[01:16:27] Speaker C: I had second time seeing him. Second?
[01:16:31] Speaker B: My fourth, actually. I saw.
[01:16:33] Speaker C: Ew.
God, I love Paul McCartney.
That's amazing. I just feel like that's like such a once in a lifetime.
[01:16:46] Speaker A: What's the problem?
[01:16:47] Speaker C: Like, no round five. What?
[01:16:52] Speaker B: Well, I can't say.
[01:16:54] Speaker C: What is Elliott saying?
[01:16:57] Speaker B: You know, like, going.
Delaney and I. Blaine grew up listening to the Beatles, you know, like, and we got to see Ringo Starr last year when she was. When she was pregnant with the baby.
[01:17:11] Speaker C: What is he doing?
Sorry.
And then he's like, now off my making beard.
I don't know.
I love, love the beat. Like, I started listening to them very young because of my grandfather.
Just like Ellie and I were visiting them one.
