Bagpipes are the new rock n’ roll, as is fiddles, accordions and folk is not a four letter word. From London to Scotland via Ireland, we visit hiphop, mashups, deep house, the new ANOHNI album, new Grove and new-ish AFX, and visit two kinds of Drakes (and don’t talk about one of them).

And the Summer Night City ends up rather soggy, so we end up in a bothy with some bagpipe bass dancing to Caledonia Breaks (and probably drinking vodka and Irn Bru, is that a thing? I’m too sassenach to know…).

And we play a pibroch on the bagpipes and pay our respects to the legend that is Sinead O’Connor, who died recently.

WEBVTT
00:17.760 –> 00:23.720
Hello and welcome to Radio Clash, this is 386 and it’s Bagpipes, Big Smoke And Bling.
00:23.720 –> 00:27.680
Here’s from Scotland to London, here we go.
05:45.520 –> 05:47.960
Yes, the bitch is back.
05:47.960 –> 05:51.000
This is Radio Clash 386.
05:51.000 –> 05:54.560
It’s Bagpipes, Big Smoke and Bling.
05:54.560 –> 06:02.440
And that was DJ NoNo, oh yes, with the bitch smack track, Elton John vs Prodigy vs Frank
06:02.440 –> 06:08.360
Ski and the much-missed Miss Tony, that’s dedicated to Miss Tony.
06:08.360 –> 06:13.440
Probably you will probably know Frank Ski more for Horses in this house, which is on
06:13.440 –> 06:19.440
the 12-inch, which I don’t own, but I got that from that Tony’s bitch track, the B-side
06:19.440 –> 06:21.440
is the Horses in the House.
06:21.440 –> 06:22.920
And I hope you’re all well.
06:22.920 –> 06:28.080
As I said at the start, we’re going to various Celtic places, like Ireland, because the sad
06:28.080 –> 06:30.280
death of Sinéad O’Connor.
06:30.280 –> 06:35.240
Because Scotland was sort of Bagpipes section, hence Bagpipes.
06:35.240 –> 06:39.200
And we’re also going to go into a section about London as well.
06:39.200 –> 06:42.360
You’ve got the Bling from the hip hop, so we have a hip hop section.
06:42.360 –> 06:45.160
But first, we’re about to head to London.
06:45.160 –> 06:48.720
Figuratively speaking, although I’m already in London, so I need to head there.
06:48.720 –> 06:59.800
But first, have a little song about AI, but you might recognise it.
32:22.780 –> 32:36.300
That was Grove, who I see has actually made the 6 Music main playlist, seemingly.
32:36.300 –> 32:41.340
I know Craig Charles usually plays some Grove and so does Don Letts, but it’s nice to see
32:41.340 –> 32:48.540
Grove, who I’ve been supporting on this podcast for years, literal years, get some success
32:48.540 –> 32:54.180
because that’s Stinking Rich Families with Bob Vylan.
32:54.180 –> 32:58.620
I think maybe the Bob Vylan is the reason why they have glommed onto that, but it’s
32:58.620 –> 32:59.620
good to see.
32:59.620 –> 33:05.220
I mean, I know I ranted about the music that they weren’t playing.
33:05.220 –> 33:09.740
If they played Kid Kapichi, then all will be well, but they haven’t got there yet, but
33:09.740 –> 33:14.380
they have played all the others that have been like, oh, you know, Bob Vylan, Grove.
33:14.380 –> 33:15.740
Why does he not play on 6 Music?
33:15.940 –> 33:19.140
He’s like, it’s a little bit catch up at the back there, but, you know, they get there
33:19.140 –> 33:20.620
in the end.
33:20.620 –> 33:29.060
And then before that, we had Lil Mariko with each shit from 2023’s Lil Mariko Deluxe.
33:29.060 –> 33:30.580
Oh, I love that.
33:30.580 –> 33:31.860
That’s a bit of an anthem of mine.
33:31.860 –> 33:38.740
And then before that, we had Say She She, the Chic obsessed trio of singers.
33:38.740 –> 33:44.100
That’s Trouble from 2022’s Single Trouble Slash In My Head.
33:44.100 –> 33:47.140
And again, glad to see them get some love.
33:47.140 –> 33:49.860
I might have actually heard them via Don Letts.
33:49.860 –> 33:55.860
I’m not sure where I first heard Say She She, but certainly they were not on the main 6
33:55.860 –> 33:59.300
Music playlist and they seem to be creeping into their like Grove, which is good to see.
33:59.300 –> 34:03.300
I’ve been listening to a lot of Dandelion Radio actually as well, picking up a few things
34:03.300 –> 34:04.300
ago.
34:04.300 –> 34:05.300
Wow.
34:05.300 –> 34:06.300
Wow.
34:06.300 –> 34:07.300
There’s the new μ-Ziq.
34:07.420 –> 34:08.420
I missed it.
34:08.420 –> 34:09.420
A new music album.
34:09.420 –> 34:14.740
And there’s a few other things which are not in this podcast, but will be in future podcasts,
34:14.740 –> 34:15.980
which I’ve got from there.
34:15.980 –> 34:20.500
So things are getting interesting with 6 Music because they’ve got that new music
34:20.500 –> 34:25.380
show in the early evening and some moving away from this idea that we’re just doing
34:25.380 –> 34:26.780
music for Gen X boomers.
34:26.780 –> 34:27.780
Boomers.
34:27.780 –> 34:28.780
No, not really boomers.
34:28.780 –> 34:29.780
They’re more Gen X.
34:29.780 –> 34:30.780
So the John Peele adoring types.
34:30.780 –> 34:36.500
And they kind of starting to do more new music and, you know, look beyond the major labels.
34:36.500 –> 34:38.620
At least be very major label based.
34:38.620 –> 34:43.580
They missed out on some amazing stuff on Bandcamp and whatever reason they didn’t seem to be
34:43.580 –> 34:48.900
promoting things that were independent that much a bit, but very much avoiding that.
34:48.900 –> 34:52.980
Now it seems to be there actually are promoting things on the mentioning of that’s on Bandcamp.
34:52.980 –> 34:57.780
It’s like, whoa, during daytime as well, you know, not just the new shows.
34:57.780 –> 35:00.940
So yes, things are moving better, I think.
35:00.940 –> 35:07.220
And then before that, we had Dominic Fike with Cancel Me from 2020’s.
35:07.220 –> 35:08.700
What Could Possibly Grow Wrong?
35:08.700 –> 35:13.500
Which I love that as the title of a album as a brilliant album title.
35:13.500 –> 35:18.940
And yeah, Dominic Fike, I think someone was saying how he’s on some soundtrack or some
35:18.940 –> 35:19.940
other.
35:19.940 –> 35:25.180
And I was like, Dominic Fike and very big on the, I don’t know, I’ll say TikToks, but
35:25.180 –> 35:29.540
certainly the Gen Z, but I like that a lot because I totally get that vibe and that whole
35:29.620 –> 35:33.940
sort of like, oh, well, you know, haters are going to hate similar to the little Mariko.
35:33.940 –> 35:35.620
And sometimes you just want to say, oh, fuck it.
35:35.620 –> 35:36.620
Just Cancel Me.
35:36.620 –> 35:37.620
I don’t care anymore.
35:37.620 –> 35:41.340
And in a similar fashion, although more to do with us, bit of an in-joke about the Crumpl
35:41.340 –> 35:45.500
Bangers Discord is Oki, well, a Lil’ Oki.
35:45.500 –> 35:46.900
We don’t talk about Drake.
35:46.900 –> 35:51.700
That’s from the Crumplstock 11 session from the Lil’ Oki.
35:51.700 –> 35:52.700
And I don’t know
35:52.700 –> 35:53.700
I assume it’s Drake in there.
35:53.700 –> 35:54.860
I don’t know all the other bits.
35:54.860 –> 35:57.540
It’s not tagged who the artists are.
35:57.540 –> 36:02.100
And it comes from a big argument where Drake is banned now, partly because of me and other
36:02.100 –> 36:07.980
people were just kicked off, seemed to be always drama around Drake.
36:07.980 –> 36:09.980
I’m not a fan of Drake, really.
36:09.980 –> 36:10.980
I found it funny.
36:10.980 –> 36:15.500
It was just that whole censoring of Drake and then how we don’t talk about, I just laugh
36:15.500 –> 36:18.820
so much when I heard that on the, on Crumplstock 11.
36:18.820 –> 36:23.900
And I mean to put it in since then, because Crumplstock 11 was, wow, back in June and
36:23.900 –> 36:24.900
now it’s August.
36:25.260 –> 36:27.460
Well, where does the time go?
36:27.460 –> 36:34.940
And then before that, we had Mr. B, the Gentleman Rhymer from 2021’s Chop Happy.
36:34.940 –> 36:37.820
That’s Mamma Says Knock A Piece Of My Mind Out.
36:37.820 –> 36:40.820
I’m not exactly sure where the other bits are from.
36:40.820 –> 36:41.820
I love that.
36:41.820 –> 36:42.820
It’s sort of mashing up.
36:42.820 –> 36:47.300
He released a band camp collection of his mashups and edits, and that’s from there.
36:47.300 –> 36:52.300
And then before that, we have a new to this podcast and fairly new to me, Mashup producer
36:52.300 –> 36:59.740
Danny Macabre with Take Me Alive, The Lovin’ Spoonful versus Muse versus Justice.
36:59.740 –> 37:00.740
I think it’s Justice.
37:00.740 –> 37:04.940
It sounds like Stress, but I’m not totally sure which one it is.
37:04.940 –> 37:08.180
That’s mainly because that line, you know, it’s hot town somewhere in the city, you
37:08.180 –> 37:11.740
know, somewhere in the city seem to work very well with the London theme.
37:11.740 –> 37:13.380
And also it’s a brilliant track.
37:13.380 –> 37:16.340
It gets a little bit messy in places, but it works.
37:16.340 –> 37:17.340
It’s great ideas.
37:17.340 –> 37:21.380
I’ve been there with Justice or Daft Punk, especially with Justice, because they have
37:21.420 –> 37:24.460
so much wide range of frequency and so much going on.
37:24.460 –> 37:29.660
It’s very hard to get anything to work with it and difficult to actually get things placed
37:29.660 –> 37:36.060
because if you filter out the big electro house synths, almost rock type of synths,
37:36.060 –> 37:37.980
then it just sounds a bit pants.
37:37.980 –> 37:39.500
So yeah, it’s always difficult on that.
37:39.500 –> 37:41.060
But I know I like that a lot.
37:41.060 –> 37:46.180
And there’s a couple of Danny Macabre tracks I’ll be playing in future podcasts.
37:46.180 –> 37:49.220
And then before that, we had one of mine again.
37:49.260 –> 37:50.700
That’s Instamatic.
37:50.700 –> 37:55.660
Welcome to London Colin, The Clash versus London Calling.
37:55.660 –> 37:58.940
London Colin, London Calling, London Colin, that’s the joke.
37:58.940 –> 38:02.740
Versus Flow Dan versus Pet Shop Boys versus 808 State.
38:02.740 –> 38:07.500
And that won the Discord challenge set by Lee Spoons.
38:07.500 –> 38:10.300
He did a 1989 challenge.
38:10.300 –> 38:15.900
And unfortunately, my first one got disqualified because Pump Up the Padam,
38:15.900 –> 38:19.420
Kylie versus Technotronic because it had been done before.
38:19.420 –> 38:21.780
I didn’t realise it had been done before or a few weeks before.
38:21.780 –> 38:23.220
And so it was accidental reboot.
38:23.220 –> 38:24.140
Another one.
38:24.140 –> 38:25.380
I’m doing too many of those.
38:25.380 –> 38:28.540
Hence why I did four sources in that one.
38:28.540 –> 38:31.220
I was like, no one’s done this one, surely.
38:31.220 –> 38:33.260
That would have been crazy if they had.
38:33.260 –> 38:34.740
And I almost didn’t do another one.
38:34.740 –> 38:38.180
I think DJ NoNo did another one, which I’m not totally sure about.
38:38.180 –> 38:39.900
And then right at the end, I did that one.
38:39.900 –> 38:43.700
And it is all about London and a part of 808 State, which is Manchester,
38:43.700 –> 38:44.700
which is where I’m from.
38:44.940 –> 38:46.820
There are so many layers with this mashup,
38:46.820 –> 38:49.620
but it’s my love-hate relationship with London.
38:49.620 –> 38:51.780
The whole thing about it’s expensive place to live.
38:51.780 –> 38:54.220
And I’m sort of clinging on the edge of London at the moment.
38:54.220 –> 38:56.620
Because, yeah, if you don’t have a lot of money,
38:56.620 –> 38:59.460
London is not necessarily a friendly place to be.
38:59.460 –> 39:04.420
And also the apocalyptic stuff, which led into the Reina El Cid before,
39:04.420 –> 39:07.700
which is the Why Did We Invent AI? American Pie parody,
39:07.700 –> 39:09.940
which has been doing the TikToks.
39:09.940 –> 39:14.500
I think there’s a theme called dystopian campfire songs on TikTok.
39:14.580 –> 39:18.700
I don’t know, I don’t do TikTok, but that was posted on Facebook, actually.
39:18.700 –> 39:22.100
And I was like, oh, check out Reina El Cid over at TikTok.
39:22.820 –> 39:24.700
There’s a lot of acoustic songs.
39:24.700 –> 39:27.740
People seem to really like the Welcome to London Colin mashup.
39:27.740 –> 39:31.540
And it’s a weird one, because I was never totally sure about some of the volumes
39:31.540 –> 39:32.820
and stuff with a bit of a faff to do.
39:32.820 –> 39:36.900
But what I like about that is I’ve got the 808 State Donkey Doctor
39:36.900 –> 39:42.340
from 808 State 90 who just qualified because they released that in December 89.
39:42.460 –> 39:46.380
And that was a big album for me after Pacific State.
39:46.380 –> 39:51.660
Then I got my hands on Quadrastate, which is pre that and 90.
39:51.900 –> 39:56.780
And of course, XL, which was that came out in 1990 or 1991.
39:57.140 –> 39:58.900
But yeah, came out later.
39:58.900 –> 40:02.860
So we’re now going to go into more of a tempo section.
40:03.220 –> 40:05.620
We’ve done the hippity hoppety things.
40:05.620 –> 40:09.980
And we’re going to do an upbeat section with this track, which is from my challenge.
40:09.980 –> 40:13.980
Because, of course, I won the Discord challenge last week.
40:14.100 –> 40:17.460
The previous challenge that just finished on Monday was set by me.
40:17.460 –> 40:22.460
And I set a challenge for songs that are about your firsts,
40:22.460 –> 40:25.620
about you have a memory attached, like you use at least one song
40:25.620 –> 40:30.740
that has a memory attached to you, like, you know, weddings or births
40:30.740 –> 40:33.060
or first record you bought and that kind of thing.
40:33.060 –> 40:35.660
You know, so some kind of not necessarily first as a number,
40:35.660 –> 40:37.620
but those can landmark memories.
40:37.660 –> 40:42.100
And Princess Lana posted that you just done their first DJ set,
40:42.100 –> 40:45.900
which is a big thing, certainly if you’re into production and DJing.
40:45.900 –> 40:47.980
And I think I’m not totally sure.
40:48.100 –> 40:52.140
I’m not sure if that was the Bucharest Pride because Princess Lana
40:52.140 –> 40:57.340
posted onto their remix audio page a set from Bucharest Pride.
40:57.340 –> 40:59.780
And so I assume that was where it was.
40:59.780 –> 41:03.420
And this is, I think, a complete banger.
41:03.420 –> 41:05.180
Although I can just hear in the back of my head.
41:05.220 –> 41:08.180
I mean, it’s like, yes, I have a personal Adriana in the back of my head.
41:08.180 –> 41:11.620
You know, just I’ve watched too many Mashup Listening Hours.
41:11.620 –> 41:14.300
I know they’re not on at the moment because of, you know, live stuff.
41:15.020 –> 41:19.100
But yeah, they won’t be coming back till October, which is never very much missed.
41:19.980 –> 41:23.940
My personal Adriana in the back of my head is saying, oh, this is this is like a remix.
41:23.940 –> 41:28.540
But it’s like, well, no, but it’s just because I don’t know the the Space Law track.
41:28.540 –> 41:32.820
This is I’m Not Here To Make Fantasy Sam Smith versus Space Law.
41:32.820 –> 41:35.260
And I can imagine this went down very well at Pride.
58:30.220 –> 58:32.540
That was Michael the DJ
58:33.260 –> 58:36.740
from 2023’s Mixtape Number One from Bandcamp.
58:37.380 –> 58:40.580
I thought it was Owner Of A Host Pipe
58:40.700 –> 58:41.940
because I’m dumb.
58:42.060 –> 58:45.860
It turns out, looking closer, it’s got a little hash symbol.
58:45.980 –> 58:47.500
Well, no, it’s an @ symbol.
58:47.620 –> 58:48.620
Oh.
58:48.740 –> 58:52.380
It’s owner, OWNR, of a…
58:52.940 –> 58:54.700
Well, I’m not sure it’s hash pipe
58:54.820 –> 58:59.580
because it’s got the @ symbol, but that hashes the little crossed lines, isn’t it?
58:59.620 –> 59:02.620
So, it’s the @ $ pipe.
59:02.740 –> 59:05.460
So, I don’t know if it’s Owner Of A Host Pipe, Owner Of A Hash Pipe.
59:05.580 –> 59:08.980
Yes versus Weezer versus Aerosmith versus Radiohead.
59:09.100 –> 59:13.140
And I found out about Michael the DJ
59:13.260 –> 59:18.140
and Danny Macabre from the r/mashups Discord Server
59:18.260 –> 59:22.460
because of the ongoing industrial dispute.
59:23.060 –> 59:25.380
It seems to be the common line nowadays.
59:25.500 –> 59:28.460
The ongoing… Because of the ongoing industrial dispute…
59:29.460 –> 59:34.700
With Reddit, most of the business that usually went on r/mashups Reddit page
59:34.820 –> 59:35.820
is actually on Discord.
59:35.940 –> 59:38.260
I really prefer it because you couldn’t just scroll through
59:38.380 –> 59:42.820
and listen to things there or see the links all in one thread.
59:42.940 –> 59:44.860
They might have gone to threaded things now,
59:44.980 –> 59:46.380
but for a while you could do that.
59:46.500 –> 59:47.860
And that, I thought, was great.
59:47.980 –> 59:51.780
People, of course, complain about having lots of things to scroll through, obviously.
59:51.900 –> 59:54.580
But I actually prefer that to the old forum idea
59:54.700 –> 59:56.460
because you have to keep clicking and then go inside
59:56.580 –> 59:59.140
and you have to click on whatever link they’ve got
59:59.260 –> 01:00:02.060
or the thing or maybe go off to another site.
01:00:02.180 –> 01:00:03.820
And it’s all just like, faff.
01:00:03.940 –> 01:00:06.100
It’s like, you really want… I feel like remix the audio.
01:00:06.220 –> 01:00:10.060
You want just the things there and very much press play in a stack.
01:00:10.180 –> 01:00:13.940
You don’t really want them all in different forum things.
01:00:14.060 –> 01:00:15.580
Then before that, we had Oki.
01:00:15.700 –> 01:00:18.820
And that made the Bootie Top 10 for our last month, July.
01:00:18.940 –> 01:00:19.900
Deservedly so.
01:00:20.020 –> 01:00:24.220
That’s Guerrilla Voulez Vous, Rage Against the Machine versus ABBA.
01:00:24.300 –> 01:00:26.860
Yeah, you know, me and ABBA. Me and ABBA mashups.
01:00:26.980 –> 01:00:30.380
That would have been a brilliant one to have on ABBAstard.
01:00:30.500 –> 01:00:33.060
Although, obviously, that was many months ago.
01:00:33.180 –> 01:00:36.940
Rage Against the Machine, Guerrilla Radio, also used to be part of our jingle.
01:00:37.060 –> 01:00:39.340
One of the old jingles uses the cover of Guerrilla Radio.
01:00:39.460 –> 01:00:41.860
So that was a bit of a radio theme there
01:00:41.980 –> 01:00:47.020
because the previous mashup is using one of the tracks
01:00:47.140 –> 01:00:49.940
that’s in our current jingle, which is from Fnogg.
01:00:50.060 –> 01:00:52.980
But this mashup is by That Other Ted.
01:00:53.060 –> 01:00:54.700
That’s Chained to the Radio.
01:00:54.820 –> 01:00:57.100
Re-edit Katy Berry versus Sylvan Esso.
01:00:57.220 –> 01:01:02.420
So Sylvan Esso is used in the hAteful Radio jingle
01:01:02.540 –> 01:01:05.460
that we use at the start of this podcast, I’ve got to say.
01:01:05.580 –> 01:01:08.620
So I thought those worked well together in radio theme.
01:01:08.740 –> 01:01:13.820
And then before that, we had Caserta with Ricky the Kon remix.
01:01:13.940 –> 01:01:17.980
I love that greatly because I’m not much about Caserta.
01:01:18.100 –> 01:01:20.900
There’s a house, a deep house producer.
01:01:21.020 –> 01:01:22.900
But they seem to do vocal things over the top.
01:01:23.020 –> 01:01:27.260
I don’t think they’re sampling the spoken bits, which is what I love.
01:01:27.380 –> 01:01:29.740
I mean, we need more spoken word.
01:01:29.860 –> 01:01:34.420
They used to be common in pop singles and things with little spoken interludes.
01:01:34.540 –> 01:01:36.020
I love those.
01:01:36.140 –> 01:01:37.580
I think they were foreign out of fashion.
01:01:37.700 –> 01:01:39.580
But then it goes into Rick James.
01:01:39.700 –> 01:01:41.140
Love, love, love.
01:01:41.260 –> 01:01:44.020
Yeah, so it’s sort of a hence Ricky, Rick James.
01:01:44.140 –> 01:01:46.340
It’s a bit of a naughty sample.
01:01:46.460 –> 01:01:49.340
Then before that, we had DJ Princess Lana.
01:01:49.420 –> 01:01:52.780
I’m Not Here To Make Fantasy, Sam Smith versus Space Law.
01:01:52.900 –> 01:01:54.260
So we had a bit of pride.
01:01:54.380 –> 01:01:57.660
I know some places, I mean, including Brighton, having pride this month.
01:01:57.780 –> 01:02:00.260
So there’s pride going on somewhere in the world.
01:02:00.380 –> 01:02:03.020
It’s also about the year, so it’s decided of pride month.
01:02:03.140 –> 01:02:05.100
There’s pride months. Every month is pride month.
01:02:05.220 –> 01:02:09.420
So we’re going to start going to almost going to go into the Bagpipe Mix.
01:02:09.540 –> 01:02:12.740
This, just before the bagpipe mix, we’re going to play a track.
01:02:12.860 –> 01:02:16.780
Again, I heard on 6 Music and I was surprised.
01:02:16.900 –> 01:02:18.900
There’s a lot of stuff I’ve missed, I think.
01:02:18.980 –> 01:02:23.660
I’ve been trying to catch up on various things like the new ANOHNI album.
01:02:23.780 –> 01:02:27.420
And I think there’s a new Aphex Twin album coming, I think.
01:02:27.540 –> 01:02:30.020
This is first release of a bigger release, I think.
01:02:30.140 –> 01:02:34.020
And so I’m with a music album and all kinds of things.
01:02:34.140 –> 01:02:41.660
But this is Black Box Life Recorder 21F in Aphex Twin’s usual naming schema.
01:02:41.780 –> 01:02:45.420
I’m surprised it’s not named after viruses. That was the last lot.
01:02:45.540 –> 01:02:47.500
And yeah, no, I like this a lot.
01:02:47.580 –> 01:02:50.580
It’s very, I had to say, classic AFX.
01:02:50.700 –> 01:02:55.580
Because as soon as you try and pin down Richard D. James, he goes and does nothing else.
01:02:55.700 –> 01:02:58.860
So yeah, so this is Black Box Life Recorder.
01:39:13.580 –> 01:39:15.580
That was, well, me again.
01:39:15.700 –> 01:39:20.420
I don’t usually put this many of my mashups in a podcast,
01:39:20.540 –> 01:39:22.860
but I feel like I’m on a roll recently.
01:39:22.980 –> 01:39:27.100
That was Instamatic with, It Doesn’t Break My Soul,
01:39:27.220 –> 01:39:28.780
(Feeling Good),
01:39:28.900 –> 01:39:32.460
Suxy vs. Beyonce vs. Muse,
01:39:32.580 –> 01:39:35.580
and, yeah, that’s very much it.
01:39:35.700 –> 01:39:37.700
I think it’s a good thing to do.
01:39:38.700 –> 01:39:41.700
I don’t know if they’re welcomed,
01:39:41.820 –> 01:39:46.820
but, you know, sometimes why mashups have a support message for certain people.
01:39:46.940 –> 01:39:49.900
And then before that, we had the Das Koolies,
01:39:50.020 –> 01:39:54.180
the Super Furry Animal’s break-off band without Gruff Rhys,
01:39:54.300 –> 01:39:58.940
The Condemned from 2023’s The Condemned EP,
01:39:59.060 –> 01:40:01.420
and, yeah, that’s pretty much it.
01:40:01.540 –> 01:40:03.620
Well, I described them as support mashup,
01:40:03.740 –> 01:40:06.580
occasionally mashups for people that seem to be having a hard time.
01:40:06.660 –> 01:40:08.460
The Condemned EP.
01:40:08.580 –> 01:40:11.100
Then before that, we had Mash of the Titans 12.
01:40:11.220 –> 01:40:13.780
Mash of the Titans is the compilation that Panos T puts together,
01:40:13.900 –> 01:40:16.260
and it’s the 12th and final one, apparently.
01:40:16.380 –> 01:40:20.260
And I’m not necessarily into a lot of the multi-mashups,
01:40:20.380 –> 01:40:22.780
the Bosh Bosh EDM on there, but that’s really good.
01:40:22.900 –> 01:40:25.220
I mean, anybody uses Maniac.
01:40:25.340 –> 01:40:27.980
She said Maniac is good to me,
01:40:28.100 –> 01:40:31.500
and I didn’t know the Ariana Grande bloodline song.
01:40:31.620 –> 01:40:34.660
That’s by, I don’t know how to pronounce this, Alexzn.
01:40:34.780 –> 01:40:36.980
Alex Zed N, Alexzn.
01:40:38.100 –> 01:40:39.540
Sounds like I’ve got a pronunciation problem,
01:40:39.660 –> 01:40:41.340
but, yeah, that’s very good, I like that.
01:40:41.460 –> 01:40:44.700
And then before that, we had the, well, I call it the bagpipe mix,
01:40:44.820 –> 01:40:47.140
but I realised when I was doing it though,
01:40:47.260 –> 01:40:49.740
there aren’t all bagpipes all the way through.
01:40:49.860 –> 01:40:52.580
It’s sort of bagpipes, fiddles, accordions,
01:40:52.700 –> 01:40:55.500
it’s all Scottish-folk remix.
01:40:56.180 –> 01:40:59.580
Very much inspired by two mixes on YouTube,
01:40:59.700 –> 01:41:03.460
by a group of people doing what they call Bothy Bass,
01:41:03.540 –> 01:41:05.820
and two of the songs is from those mixes,
01:41:05.940 –> 01:41:09.300
but I was like, well, they focus very specifically
01:41:09.420 –> 01:41:11.780
on a geographical area, on the sort of music
01:41:11.900 –> 01:41:15.340
that would have been in the Bossies in the,
01:41:15.460 –> 01:41:17.500
I think it was in North-East of Scotland.
01:41:17.620 –> 01:41:20.660
And I heard that and thought, oh, well,
01:41:20.780 –> 01:41:24.140
I know some bagpipe mashups and Martyn Bennett
01:41:24.260 –> 01:41:26.340
There’s a few other things I wanted to put in there,
01:41:26.460 –> 01:41:31.140
so I just opened it out into a sort of more of a Scottish mix.
01:41:31.260 –> 01:41:36.940
So that’s, then there we had Amen Break by Glaik & Plaices,
01:41:37.060 –> 01:41:39.500
which was one of the tracks I could locate.
01:41:39.620 –> 01:41:44.980
A lot of the tracks in the Bothy Bass mix I couldn’t find.
01:41:45.100 –> 01:41:47.420
I didn’t wonder how many of them were there under a steam name.
01:41:47.540 –> 01:41:50.180
Apparently they put out a call from songs,
01:41:50.300 –> 01:41:54.500
but what I find unusual is that there’s usually a digital footprint
01:41:54.620 –> 01:41:59.620
or a footprint of releases or 12-inch white labels or demos
01:41:59.820 –> 01:42:03.140
or a lot of them, absolutely nothing.
01:42:03.260 –> 01:42:08.140
And yes, some people save kind of the tracks themselves,
01:42:08.260 –> 01:42:11.660
the DJ tools, but not over several years.
01:42:11.780 –> 01:42:13.620
And usually if it’s used in a mix, people post it and say,
01:42:13.740 –> 01:42:14.980
oh, that’s mine, I was in here.
01:42:15.100 –> 01:42:19.180
So it’s suspiciously few of them I could actually find from elsewhere.
01:42:19.300 –> 01:42:21.980
So I did wonder how many of them were there under another name.
01:42:23.100 –> 01:42:25.820
But that was one of them, Glaik & Plaices.
01:42:25.940 –> 01:42:27.860
Aye Min Break, I don’t know if I pronounced that wrong.
01:42:27.980 –> 01:42:29.500
Probably pronounced it totally wrong.
01:42:29.620 –> 01:42:32.860
So before that was Martyn Bennett, we ran from 2003’s Grit.
01:42:32.980 –> 01:42:38.700
And then before that we had Jean Redpath, remixed by Usurp.
01:42:38.820 –> 01:42:43.660
That’s the Usurp’s Awfy Fine mix of Such A Parcel Of Rogues In A Nation,
01:42:43.780 –> 01:42:45.460
the Rabbie Burns song.
01:42:45.580 –> 01:42:47.100
Oh, I don’t know if you actually wrote the music,
01:42:47.220 –> 01:42:49.780
but certainly you wrote the lyrics, the poem.
01:42:49.900 –> 01:42:52.020
And before that we had another one.
01:42:52.140 –> 01:42:55.500
Also there’s three, three from that mix stolen from Bothy Bass.
01:42:55.500 –> 01:43:02.500
That’s Reyka with Hi-Land featuring John Murdo Martin from 2021’s Alba.
01:43:02.620 –> 01:43:07.180
And that is Scottish Gaelic singing, well, religious singing.
01:43:07.300 –> 01:43:09.100
Almost like a plain song, I think.
01:43:09.220 –> 01:43:10.700
Plain chant, I think.
01:43:10.820 –> 01:43:13.620
It might be wrong, but yeah, it’s not just Gaelic singing,
01:43:13.740 –> 01:43:17.700
it’s specifically Gaelic musical singing,
01:43:17.820 –> 01:43:20.620
which is unusual to have, yeah, Gaelic plain song in the mashup.
01:43:20.740 –> 01:43:23.380
I don’t think there are many more remixes, I think many of that.
01:43:23.940 –> 01:43:25.540
That’s probably the only one in the world.
01:43:25.660 –> 01:43:28.300
Then before that, Martyn Bennett again with Four Notes.
01:43:28.420 –> 01:43:30.940
And then at the start of that section we had GladiLord,
01:43:31.060 –> 01:43:34.380
because bagpipes are not just for Christmas and not just for Scotland.
01:43:34.500 –> 01:43:36.980
The bagpipes are all over the world.
01:43:37.100 –> 01:43:39.980
In fact, I think are they a Pakistani thing?
01:43:40.100 –> 01:43:42.140
There’s certainly that from that part of the world.
01:43:42.260 –> 01:43:46.940
But a lot of cultures, independently or otherwise, have bagpipes.
01:43:47.060 –> 01:43:48.780
And one of those is Portugal.
01:43:48.900 –> 01:43:52.260
And I think Italy and Spain.
01:43:52.340 –> 01:43:54.260
There’s a few places to have them.
01:43:54.380 –> 01:43:57.180
And so that’s GladiLord of the bagpipes, Death Grips,
01:43:57.300 –> 01:44:01.180
a Mexican Girl versus Eminem and Urze de Lume,
01:44:01.300 –> 01:44:02.740
who’s the bagpipes there.
01:44:02.860 –> 01:44:04.540
And then at the start of that section we had Aphex Twin,
01:44:04.660 –> 01:44:07.140
with Black Life Recorder to anyone, yeah.
01:44:09.180 –> 01:44:12.700
Oh, I’ve got to say the Four Notes were Martyn Bennett’s 2012,
01:44:12.820 –> 01:44:16.460
and the Jean Rempath is 2020, and the Hi-Land is 2021.
01:44:16.580 –> 01:44:18.340
Not that anyone cares about the years.
01:44:18.460 –> 01:44:20.820
Does anyone really care? I probably don’t.
01:44:20.940 –> 01:44:27.140
So I’ve been really checking out the excellent, excellent ANOHNI album.
01:44:27.260 –> 01:44:29.780
My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross,
01:44:29.900 –> 01:44:33.140
which was released a few weeks ago now.
01:44:33.260 –> 01:44:36.140
And unusually, it’s been some solo work,
01:44:36.260 –> 01:44:39.740
but this is the first album in a long, long time,
01:44:39.860 –> 01:44:45.100
I think 13 years, 2010, yeah, from ANOHNI and the Johnsons,
01:44:45.220 –> 01:44:46.780
formerly known as Antony and the Johnsons,
01:44:46.900 –> 01:44:49.220
but now ANOHNI and the Johnsons.
01:44:49.340 –> 01:44:53.820
And this is a track which I love dearly.
01:44:53.940 –> 01:44:56.140
This is called It Must Change.
01:44:56.260 –> 01:44:58.580
And yes, it must change. There’s lots of things that change,
01:44:58.700 –> 01:45:01.020
but I think that’s just the general feeling in the air,
01:45:01.140 –> 01:45:02.900
and back to industrial action again.
01:45:03.020 –> 01:45:06.300
But this is more about the climate,
01:45:06.420 –> 01:45:10.380
which given ANOHNI had just had the hottest tune on record,
01:45:10.500 –> 01:45:14.060
and apparently it’s going to be another heatwave here.
01:45:14.180 –> 01:45:15.740
Obviously not at the moment, it’s chucking it down,
01:45:15.860 –> 01:45:17.460
which is quite ironic about the…
01:45:17.700 –> 01:45:19.220
You know, hot times, some of those idiots are like,
01:45:19.340 –> 01:45:20.740
yeah, not very hot at the moment,
01:45:20.860 –> 01:45:22.940
but the weather’s all over the place,
01:45:23.060 –> 01:45:26.740
and Greece is burning, literally burning,
01:45:26.860 –> 01:45:30.140
40 plus degrees in Greece and fires there.
01:45:30.260 –> 01:45:32.940
You know, it’s like, yes, this is not normal, people,
01:45:33.060 –> 01:45:35.660
this is not normal, so this is It Must Change.
02:14:17.940 –> 02:14:27.620
That was CordiaLump with I Can Only Be Me Slash Creep by Mars Argo vs. Radiohead.
02:14:28.660 –> 02:14:34.500
That’s a recent mash and a bit of an anthem of mine. Then before that, we had Elysian Sounds,
02:14:35.140 –> 02:14:40.100
which I think was part of one of the mashup challenges, so that’s where I got it from.
02:14:40.980 –> 02:14:47.140
And that’s Castle of Glass X Jolene. You see, these people don’t actually put names for mashups,
02:14:47.140 –> 02:14:52.660
so it’s just, yeah, I mean, you know, fair enough. Although, I will say, work on your fades.
02:14:54.260 –> 02:14:58.020
There’s a reason why I had to have the echo there, is really, if you’re going to have a fade,
02:14:58.020 –> 02:15:05.140
make sure it’s on beat, or not early, you know, it’s, yeah. But a brilliant mash,
02:15:05.140 –> 02:15:10.980
Dolly Parton vs. Linkin Park, yeah, me, me, with a Linkin Park mash. With my reputation,
02:15:10.980 –> 02:15:17.460
I’m not a Chester Bennington fan, I’m not a fan of Linkin Park, full stop, before or after
02:15:18.340 –> 02:15:24.820
his death, but yes, I’ve not heard that one. And I like the idea of making Linkin Park country,
02:15:24.900 –> 02:15:30.100
and that sort of country, it works with the vibe. One of the reasons I’m not a fan of Linkin Park
02:15:30.100 –> 02:15:35.060
is it’s just, it gets a little bit, don’t know how to say it, yeah, it gets a bit depressing,
02:15:35.860 –> 02:15:40.340
which is ironic, because I love, I love, I love depressing and melancholic music, but something
02:15:40.340 –> 02:15:48.580
about Linkin Park is just, it’s like, if you stay there all the time, it stops having any form of
02:15:48.580 –> 02:15:53.940
kind of meaning, because if you’re, everything you produce is always that in that sort of same
02:15:53.940 –> 02:15:59.780
space, you just expect it, and there’s no surprise there, you know. Linkin Park done a happy, happy
02:15:59.780 –> 02:16:05.300
song, you know, like Baby Shark, that would have been a surprise, but you know, it’s all like, yeah,
02:16:05.300 –> 02:16:09.780
yeah, we’ve been here before, and that’s one of the reasons I was never a fan. But I like that song,
02:16:09.780 –> 02:16:14.020
Castle Glass, and I say it does sound, I think the original was a little bit country, from
02:16:14.900 –> 02:16:19.460
looking on the Wikipedia, I’ve not heard the original, but yeah, that works very well.
02:16:20.260 –> 02:16:25.780
Then before that, we had Fissunix with Heart Shape Tron, Daft Punk versus Nirvana,
02:16:25.780 –> 02:16:29.860
and that’s an old one, that’s 2011. I was going to say, I thought it was an old one, because
02:16:30.580 –> 02:16:37.540
it’s got that EQ extract thing going on with the vocals, no AI then. And then before that,
02:16:37.540 –> 02:16:46.420
we had the sadly recently departed Sinead O’Connor with I Am Stretched On Your Grave from 1990s,
02:16:46.420 –> 02:16:50.260
I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, which is, again, another brilliant titled
02:16:50.900 –> 02:16:55.940
album, and it is a good album. And I never realised, I remember that was one of my favourite songs
02:16:55.940 –> 02:17:02.020
from the album when I first heard it. I didn’t realise it’s a 17th century Irish folk song,
02:17:02.820 –> 02:17:08.260
traditional song, does it totally hurt then to put in the very modern sort of almost like
02:17:08.900 –> 02:17:14.100
matter of attack, put the funky drummer over it, and then there’s a very
02:17:15.380 –> 02:17:21.380
almost trip-hop Bristol bass noises, you know. I feel like Wishing On A Star
02:17:22.660 –> 02:17:26.980
that cover. So it sounds very modern, but also traditional at the same time.
02:17:26.980 –> 02:17:32.340
Really explain, because I’m a big fan of folk. Then before that, someone that Sinead worked with,
02:17:32.340 –> 02:17:35.940
that’s John Grant, The Day Is Done, and that’s from the latest…
02:17:36.980 –> 02:17:42.260
It seems like every couple of years there is a Nick Drake songs compilation, but this is a good
02:17:42.260 –> 02:17:48.980
one. This is The Endless Coloured Ways, Songs Of Nick Drake came out in May, because interestingly,
02:17:48.980 –> 02:17:56.180
they seem to have chosen people who do quite radical versions or kind of a bit more experimental
02:17:56.260 –> 02:18:02.580
with it, which is interesting, and some good ones on there. There’s a brilliant cover of Pink
02:18:02.580 –> 02:18:08.500
Moon by Aurora, which is really nice, but I like how there, John Grant takes The Day Is Done,
02:18:09.380 –> 02:18:17.220
and turns it into kind of a synth-wavy, venereal 80s electro thing. That thing with his echoed
02:18:17.220 –> 02:18:22.100
voice, I don’t know if he does to his echoed voice, but I’ve heard it before on his work.
02:18:22.180 –> 02:18:27.460
Whoever does his reverb and echo and effects, if it’s him or his producer, is amazing. Is there
02:18:27.460 –> 02:18:31.380
something about that sort of space? It’s very hard to do that. I don’t think people realise
02:18:31.380 –> 02:18:37.780
when I’ve done vocal production. It’s very hard to do that kind of stuff. I’ve been left behind
02:18:37.780 –> 02:18:43.300
is the song by Kathrine Priddy, and I almost made it to this podcast, and I will play on a future one,
02:18:43.300 –> 02:18:48.260
because what’s nice is they’ve got some of the Family Tree songs in there, and the Family Tree was
02:18:48.260 –> 02:18:55.220
the compilation of his demos. There’s a lot of brilliant Nick Drake songs. I’ve never really
02:18:55.220 –> 02:19:01.460
been properly recorded. And then before that, we had Vixoria Drift from her new album, Vivid.
02:19:01.460 –> 02:19:05.620
That’s Everybody’s Singing. Interlude. Yes, I’m playing the interlude again. I know, I go,
02:19:06.180 –> 02:19:12.580
I really like the interlude. Like passages, I love that interlude. I love that interlude.
02:19:12.580 –> 02:19:19.540
I could list everything in it. I’m not going to, but I do like the use of Bob Burnham at the end.
02:19:21.140 –> 02:19:25.460
And yeah, there’s a whole bunch of people, everybody’s singing, and the list is on the
02:19:25.460 –> 02:19:31.540
bandcamp. Go and look at Vivid’s bandcamp, and you’ll see a list of about sort of like,
02:19:31.540 –> 02:19:37.940
I think probably eight or 10 sources and that. But then works really well with Sinead
02:19:38.260 –> 02:19:43.380
O’Connor. That’s a live version of Black Boys and Mopeds, because I played the original on the
02:19:44.100 –> 02:19:50.180
Margaret Thatcher Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead show. I played the original. And I have a rule
02:19:50.180 –> 02:19:55.860
where I don’t replay stuff here, because life is too short. It’s like it’s a podcast. You can go
02:19:55.860 –> 02:20:00.980
back and listen to whatever version. I understand on like a stream or a radio program, but on a
02:20:00.980 –> 02:20:08.100
podcast, why would you play things again? So I love that version, although it’s interesting how
02:20:08.100 –> 02:20:13.460
the guitar is hardly recorded. So it’s almost acapella. It’s live from Iceland. That’s from
02:20:13.460 –> 02:20:24.260
It’s like a bonus record that came with 2012. Another great title. How about I Be Me and You Be You?
02:20:24.820 –> 02:20:33.140
She was brilliant with her titles and albums. Yeah, it’s hard to say, express how the death
02:20:33.140 –> 02:20:37.460
of Sinead O’Connor, which isn’t completely surprising, since she had a lot of struggles and
02:20:38.180 –> 02:20:43.700
I haven’t looked at what actually happened. Do hope it’s not what I think it is. But she really
02:20:43.700 –> 02:20:48.100
struggled with her mental health. I was very open about that. And Byrne was mocked about it. And
02:20:48.740 –> 02:20:54.260
what really fucked me off was how those kind of people who mocked her suddenly when she’s dead,
02:20:54.260 –> 02:20:57.940
oh, it’s wonderful because they’ve got bloody dollar signs and pound signs in their eyes. They
02:20:57.940 –> 02:21:04.900
went, oh, it was great. We can now exploit her. And interestingly, she told her children to call her
02:21:04.900 –> 02:21:12.420
lawyer before the emergency services, because she knew as soon as she died, there would be a bunch
02:21:12.500 –> 02:21:17.700
of people wanting to exploit and re-release and make money off her. Now she’s gone.
02:21:18.900 –> 02:21:23.940
And I haven’t said it’s not necessarily happened yet, but there’s been a few things that was like,
02:21:23.940 –> 02:21:30.980
yeah, so I mean, the tribute measures started almost immediately, the tribute stuffs and yeah,
02:21:30.980 –> 02:21:35.300
but that’s not showing money or interest to shizzle. But yeah, she was dead against that. So
02:21:36.020 –> 02:21:40.260
it’s kind of why I never said anything. It’s a couple of days later, I posted something about
02:21:40.260 –> 02:21:46.980
our responder to a friend, but yeah, it’s a bit like Bowie, or even Prince. Yes, we’re not going into that.
02:21:47.620 –> 02:21:52.900
She hit me very hard. Harder than I thought I would with the circumstances, but it’s more that she’s
02:21:52.900 –> 02:21:59.300
only 56 and she’s way too young. That’s only six years older than me. I think it’s very part of it,
02:21:59.300 –> 02:22:05.220
but also she had a lot more to give. She was talented and she was amazing. And, you know,
02:22:05.220 –> 02:22:09.380
it’s kind of interesting because I’ve been arguing with people online about on various videos,
02:22:09.380 –> 02:22:16.260
because YouTube videos, we talked about the whole Sinead vs Prince affair, the sort of the fracar
02:22:16.260 –> 02:22:21.060
that happened and why he was pissed off. You know, there’s always people going, oh, Sinead, one hit
02:22:21.060 –> 02:22:25.940
wonder. Well, that’s not true. Not even true in America, actually. She was known in America before
02:22:25.940 –> 02:22:33.300
that. And dad stuff after, so it’s like, well, and she was a good songwriter. So it’s just bizarre.
02:22:33.620 –> 02:22:40.260
Bizarre, this idea of people still doing her down. And this just really makes me very angry.
02:22:41.380 –> 02:22:47.780
And then before that, obviously, Black Boys and Mopeds was one of her songs. We had
02:22:47.780 –> 02:22:53.060
Anani and the Johnson and Symmet’s Change from 2083s. My back was a bridge for you to cross.
02:22:53.060 –> 02:22:58.420
Again, another brilliant album title. But yeah, Black Boys and Moe Peds means a lot to me because
02:22:58.420 –> 02:23:03.220
not many people at the time, most people really shied away from saying what was happening with
02:23:03.220 –> 02:23:11.140
Margaret Thatcher. And she just came out with it like the first paragraph. And it was based on
02:23:11.140 –> 02:23:16.900
something that happened a couple of times it’s happened. I’m sure it happened again since and
02:23:16.900 –> 02:23:26.340
in the future. Police in London, the Met Police, saw a couple of kids on Mopeds at 14-15. And
02:23:26.340 –> 02:23:32.340
they probably shouldn’t be on the Mopeds, but they tailed them and followed them and chased them.
02:23:32.340 –> 02:23:37.860
And they died trying to get away. But the irony was is that they actually were their cousins,
02:23:37.860 –> 02:23:41.300
mopeds, hadn’t stolen them. But of course, the police assumed they’d stolen them.
02:23:42.100 –> 02:23:47.300
And the racism killed them. And it’s happened a few times now. It wasn’t, it wasn’t just that one.
02:23:47.300 –> 02:23:52.740
It wasn’t, there’s a case that’s related to Nicholas Brown or Nicholas something.
02:23:53.700 –> 02:23:58.500
But there’s a couple of them. It’s not just that one. So it’s not even sure which one she’s referring
02:23:58.500 –> 02:24:05.700
to happened where near where she was. There’s a couple of them in the 80s. One just before in 87
02:24:05.700 –> 02:24:11.860
or 83. But yeah, it’s happened since. And the Met Police are just I’ve talked about in the vlog
02:24:11.860 –> 02:24:17.780
about the Met Police. And this little goes back to London the same bunch of ourselves. But yes,
02:24:18.740 –> 02:24:24.980
the end of the podcast. And I hope you enjoyed it. It’s been a good one. And I’m not sure if I’m
02:24:24.980 –> 02:24:28.900
going to, you know, I said I’d go away and I haven’t didn’t go away partly because of the weather. I
02:24:28.900 –> 02:24:35.060
mean, like, I wanted to go to Greece, I was going to go to France and then France kicked off industrial
02:24:35.060 –> 02:24:41.700
action and as it should do, yes, because of industrial action. And then I wanted to go to
02:24:41.700 –> 02:24:45.860
Greece. And I was like, well, do it now later in the year. And then Greece went off to 40 plus
02:24:45.860 –> 02:24:51.700
degrees. I was like, no, we’re not going. So I don’t know whether I’m going to want to do with
02:24:51.700 –> 02:24:56.260
Jordan for when I do it later in the year or whether I’ll go off somewhere in the UK, depending
02:24:56.260 –> 02:25:02.660
on the weather in August. What I’m going to do. I mean, this year, I don’t need to rush back. There’s
02:25:02.660 –> 02:25:10.100
no, I should do actually, like, what is it with September? There’s a negative land gig in September
02:25:10.100 –> 02:25:14.180
in the middle of September, which I need to come back for. But yeah, that was similar last year.
02:25:14.180 –> 02:25:21.300
Last year, I had a gig at come back for on September. Yes. I’m almost tempted to actually do
02:25:21.380 –> 02:25:27.380
if I do go off, not afford these things. This is also the reason why I’m delaying is the lack of
02:25:27.380 –> 02:25:34.740
money. Yeah, because I was trying to save things up and trying to save stuff up. And then because
02:25:34.740 –> 02:25:41.460
the cost of living goes through for them, I can’t save as much as I was planning to. So this year,
02:25:41.460 –> 02:25:47.060
there might not be a or if there isn’t be later in the year, I don’t know, the laptop didn’t help
02:25:47.060 –> 02:25:54.180
last year. That kind of dented my savings a lot. And then, you know, yeah, just wary because I don’t
02:25:54.180 –> 02:25:58.740
know what’s going to happen. But it would be good to do another jaunt on the jaunt because it’s,
02:25:58.740 –> 02:26:03.940
you know, it’s work and, you know, it’s, it’s good to work and it would get me working again.
02:26:03.940 –> 02:26:07.300
I haven’t been very bad. I’ve been doing other things, been in portraits, I was doing portraits
02:26:07.300 –> 02:26:13.620
last night. And I’ve been resurrecting some rotary pens and some clay work and many all kinds of
02:26:13.620 –> 02:26:18.180
things. But yeah, I haven’t been stopped doing landscape. So I need to get back into your
02:26:18.180 –> 02:26:23.620
landscape. So that would help that. So there’s a good reason for it. But it’s just money, money,
02:26:23.620 –> 02:26:27.700
you know, like trying to work out how can, you know, whether I can wild camp and start
02:26:27.700 –> 02:26:32.580
trying to save more money. But I always get a bit scared doing that. Certainly it’s best
02:26:32.580 –> 02:26:38.340
done younger, I suppose when I’m this age, rather than trying to do it when I’m an old man. I’m kind
02:26:38.340 –> 02:26:43.540
of an old man, but I’m older. But I should have done it in my 20s. I never did. I was always too
02:26:43.540 –> 02:26:51.780
scared. So we’re going to play out with a track, which is another classic mash, but I think it’s
02:26:51.780 –> 02:26:58.500
a recent classic. I mean, from the date here, it’s 2020. The Meredith Brooks track, Bitch,
02:26:58.500 –> 02:27:02.740
this song has become a bit of an anthem as well. In a similar thing, like, you know,
02:27:02.740 –> 02:27:08.980
take me or leave me. That’s been very much the mode recent times. I didn’t know that DJ Schmolli
02:27:08.980 –> 02:27:15.940
did a mashup of it with snow patrol. Yes, that song, that song, but it works really well. It’s
02:27:15.940 –> 02:27:22.340
that song. I have to say Snow Patrol’s Chasing Cars is it hasn’t got to the Coldplay Yellow
02:27:23.060 –> 02:27:26.980
level yet of overuse. But he’s probably getting there and I’m part of the problem because I
02:27:26.980 –> 02:27:33.460
did a mashup with chasing cars. I have to say, I have never done a Coldplay mashup and I will
02:27:33.460 –> 02:27:38.820
never do a Coldplay. Well, I might do it at some point, but I just think no, I’ve managed to never
02:27:38.820 –> 02:27:45.460
do a Coldplay mashup. If I do do a Coldplay mashup, it won’t be fucking Yellow. So this is
02:27:45.460 –> 02:27:49.620
Chasing Bitches by DJ Schmolli. I hope you’re all well and I’ll speak to you soon.
02:31:55.220 –> 02:31:58.340
Let’s start right?
02:31:59.620 –> 02:32:00.820
Shit. Sounds brown.
02:32:02.340 –> 02:32:04.020
I wish they fucking did this.
02:32:04.740 –> 02:32:09.780
No, it is that slow. It’s really fucking slow. Again, the fuck is going on?
02:32:11.380 –> 02:32:14.420
That shouldn’t be that slow. Just not do that please.
