• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, dalliance.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: I know.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: You're choosing some outrageous words today.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: Red of fucking thesaurus this week.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: Um, Sam, the this band is for also from the UK.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's from they're from London.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_00: They're called Happy Garden, and they're kind of doing like jazz, but it almost has some like breakbeady kind of drums in it, some loungy sort of sounds going in there as well.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and I found that this music has been really good for like that lock-in focus, get shit done kind of mentality.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: Like really good, like background music when you want to like kind of something stimulating, but not like in your face.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, this song is called Reef Hike uh by Happy Garden.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's very croony, isn't it?
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: It is, it's very um what's the right word?
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: Like late night.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: Late night, late night jazz bar, you know, a little lamp on the table.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_00: But it's happening as well, like there's energy.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's not just like, oh, let's go downstairs and punch a dance.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: Cat's pajamas, Sam.

  SPEAKER_00: It's moderate jazz.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: Like I want to dive into Miles Davis, but there's so much.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: I think almost all of those uh artists I feel like are big record artists because like there is so much that it's gonna be hard to sit down and go, like, I like this particular song or anything like that.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_00: So you need the the record to be the uh the experience.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_00: So there's different eras, like where do you where do you jump from a cliff from the city?
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: 1989 was a pretty good start, you know.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: That was a lot a real entry path in for Talisworth for a lot of people.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: On the eraser's tour, Sam.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: Her new song is diabolically.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, not great.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: Didn't love it.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: So bad.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: You get that on uh some of the bigger jobs.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: It sounds AI.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: No, it didn't say not AI, it just sounds a bit mediocre.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's so bad.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, not her best work, is it?
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's alright, she can fly to us and complain.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um, my next one, Maxwell.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: We talked off air that we need to bring a bit of weird, and this one is a bit weird.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's called Complacent by the miscellaneous department.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um think glitch pop, hyper pop, bit punky, bit rocky.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: Think artists like Breakance.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: Who is a mystery to the music industry, but he's back, which is sick.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but I discovered this song ironically while listening to Brakans the other day.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah, I I don't really know how to describe it other than like glitch pop rock vibes.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: That's a lot of things going into one, but let's let's do it.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's a lot.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_00: Hyper poppy, dancey, blow-fi beat, emo, vibey.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_00: Go web.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry.

  SPEAKER_00: The band is called Rocks Ferry.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: They are from Port Macquarie, right here in Australia, Sam.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_00: And uh think Royal Blood meets DZ death rays, like fuzzy garage rock kind of sound.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: But this particular song, which is called Pretend, has a bit of like this kind of groove that they build into both the percussion and the play between the percussion and the guitar.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: Then the harmonies just kind of help it like elevate that that little bit more.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, this is Pretend by Rox Fairy.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like if Jet and Wolf Matter Wolf Mother Wolf Matter Wolf Mother.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: Uh if Jet and Wolf Mother had a baby.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I can kind of see that.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_00: The fuzziness of Wolf Mother with like the the rockiness of Jet.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yep, yep, yeah, yeah.

• 11:50
  SPEAKER_00: And it's kind of the love child of um sound.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it sounds like the love child of Periphery and like Carmen Jacar.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_00: Um Happy Metal meets metal.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, it's kind of proggy.

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, feels like forever ago that we saw them.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: What were your takeaways?
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, my first takeaway was excellent set list.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um, just primo, except they didn't play fur eyes.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_00: Didn't play fur eyes.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_00: There were some notable absences.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I would have liked to see them play Evergreen from Waco.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: That was sick.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: Um Muscle Junkie could have made it.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: The other song that I thought could have gone in there would be Neighbor Neighbor.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um but I'd say other than that, they had a pretty much it was pretty packed with good stuff from like pretty much all the albums too.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: Like they they had some some Waco, they had some everything is okay, they had plenty of Hungry Ghosts, uh including some deeper cuts at OK Cathedral.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: Okay Cathedral, that outro was sick.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: With the with the whole outro, like extended jam kind of thing.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: Um and yeah, I think just just an excellent here is the the history and the the breadth of um Vaughn Soho all in one.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: And god damn.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_00: You hear some of those riffs and you're like, yeah, there's fucking slaps.

  SPEAKER_00: Not in a rush to see him again.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, that is controversial.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was the like it was the the little it's the same experience I had when I was Oasis, which was hanging to see them.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yep, glad I got to see them.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_00: Do want to see them again, but I am happy to just like this has eased my burdens for a while, you know?
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think it was the the lack of presence of them builds demand.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: Now you've seen them.

  SPEAKER_00: If they announced it tour that they were doing in Jan, I think I'd be okay.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_00: They've got a few festival shows coming out.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: So if you haven't seen them on this headline run, definitely get out to see them at things like Rolling Sets.

  SPEAKER_00: Amity Affliction adjacent.

• 18:47
  SPEAKER_00: Probably there's probably a few nights where we're gonna have to do run-betweens.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: Well, because it's ironic that you mention the strokes being here on February 13th in Brisbane, because the night before Lizzie McAlpine is playing Brisbane, who also just announced an Australian tour within the same week essentially, playing Adelaide Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and then going to Auckland.

  SPEAKER_00: Hope it rains.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, that's fucking grim.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_00: No, it'd be imagine seeing ceilings in the rain.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but also Riverstage in the rain.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, true.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_00: Your hands will go pruney.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: That's I I nearly broke my ankle last time when I was at a show uh Riverstage in the rain.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but between you and your ex-girlfriend, you both break your ankles all the time.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: Just out there stepping each other.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: Just yeah, just doing ankle snapping all day long.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_00: Just with Ashcroft in that last run towards the uh fucking Quay Cooper, really.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, and should we get on to the Australian Grammys?
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the if that's doing the Grammys a disservice.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_00: I was gonna say that is really gassing the Arya's ties, isn't it?
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: It really is.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_00: Arya's famously not the most riveting content in the world.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: I I I would argue that it is the most riveting content in the world because it kind of is a shit show.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's so bad.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: Aryas, we love you and we love the work that you do, but the the event, the aria's ceremony, can sometimes be a train wreck to watch in the best possible way.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_00: It's a mixture of D gra degrade celebrities trying to talk to really talented musicians.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: And then international that they've brought out who's like, The international being asked how amazing it is to beat the arias.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_00: You like the coffee, and they clearly don't know anything about the arias, they're just taking the you know the invoice, yeah.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_00: And then you've just got the people you haven't seen on the TV for 10 years becoming legends all of a sudden.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_00: You're like I'll say the Arias in my books is one step above the logies because I think everyone at the Arias like Australian music scene, very good, like that carries it.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_00: Everyone get like everyone acknowledges that the Australian music scene is primo, yeah, but the way we do Award ceremonies is not great.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: If you bring the high quality Australian talent of the music scene to the absolute best of the best cream of the crop Logies presentation style, you get the beauty that is the aria's.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_00: I just don't think Australians, and especially Australian creatives, don't do award shows very well.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_00: We're very humble as a people.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_00: We're like, no, no, not for me.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_00: I prefer anonymity.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_00: Anonymity, sorry.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_00: Um anonymity?
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's the one.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's just, it's just a it's a it's a it's an honor to be anonymity.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's an honor to be in the room.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_00: Um I think there is something charming about the arias in a way that like sometimes because you know, same that they'll do for the Grammys.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_00: They'll get like you know, two artists to come on and perform like one of the biggest songs from the year, and some of the like the mashups and the performances they do, same as like the Brit Awards as well, yeah, can end up being fucking cool.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_00: So um the arias, there is a charm to them, you know, in a way that I think that the Logies has no charm.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_00: The Logies is terrible.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_00: The Logies I don't think people watch Logis anymore.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_00: I think I I exclusively cringe watch the Logis.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's tough.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, tough wine.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_00: That's a tough wank.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_00: Sam, should we get into some of the nominees?
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_00: Let's do it.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_00: Where do you want to start?
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_00: Let's start with some of the uh genre categories.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_00: We won't go through all of them because there are a hell of a lot of categories, but let's do some of the genre categories that we think will be the most important to our listeners.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_00: Or you we can go back up to album of the year.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_00: How about that?
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_00: Go for gold, Sonny Jim.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_00: Uh let's start with nominees for best hip hop or rap release.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, friend of the show, Baker Boy, got nommed for Janjay.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um, Devourer got in there for volume two.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't cry, you'll laugh.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry, if you don't laugh, you'll cry.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: I should get that right, shouldn't I?
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_00: Hilt Up Woods uh in there for uh Never Coming Home, Blackprint from Miss Canina, and Nerve, Brizzy Boy in there with Growing Pains.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: Sick.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um early favorite.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, Baker Boy's album is fucking spectacular.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_00: I think Baker Boy should win it.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_00: Wouldn't be surprised if Hilt Up Hoods won it.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: Miss Canina, though, that uh a lot of the material that she's been dropping recently, fucking good.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_00: Fucking good.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_00: Norman East for best hard rock heavy metal album.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna talk about this.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_00: Cosmic Psychos, I really like beard.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_00: DZ Death Race, easy and out of control.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_00: Carnival Inverses, Godspeed by these New South Wales, and Angel's Mess by Wax.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_00: As per Where's the Metal?
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, Carnival?
• 24:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_00: Famously, Prague.
• 24:30
  SPEAKER_00: And very, very good band.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_00: I loved easy Death Race.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_00: Wouldn't you wouldn't see them on a metal lineup.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_00: I'd call them hard rock though.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_00: They're hard rock.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_00: These New South Wales, alternative.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_00: Alternative wax.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_00: They're on the line between punk and alternative.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_00: Cosmic Psychos, I think, are hard rock in the sense that they're like they're in their own little world, the cosmic psychos.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_00: But you and I did say like there's been a lot of good music dropping this year, but we were hard pressed to think of Australian bands dropping in that especially big nationally known metal bands.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_00: Because it like North Lane's dropping, but it will drop out of season.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_00: They'll be nominated next year.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um Thornhill dropped just before the window.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_00: Don't get your knickers in a knot, but I agree, it's a bit weak.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_00: Then best rock album, just regular rock, not hard rock as well.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_00: Creature of Habit uh by Courtney Barnett, DMA's by DMAs, Glory by Friends of the Show, Teenage Jones.
• 25:32
  SPEAKER_00: So not Teenage Jones, Teen Jesus and the Gene Teasers.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Bellow Lip Bombs in There Again with Again.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_00: And then uh Sungazer by Tem Temper Trap.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 25:41
  SPEAKER_00: I think there's I would say minimum four of those albums.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_00: Very, very good.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_00: The DMAs album, great.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_00: Teen Jesus, great.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_00: Bellow Lip Bombs having a blow up.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_00: Tember Trap wouldn't put in the rock category.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_00: Corny Barnett's certainly not rock.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_00: I think definitely rock, but I just I that album didn't grab me that much.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_00: I think there are probably other Australian rock bands that I think would go in there over Courtney Barnett.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_00: If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_00: Um Corney Barnett's music does nothing for me.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_00: Fair enough.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_00: I I like Kurt Vial.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_00: Then you can't dislike Courtney Barnett that much.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_00: You don't mind a bit of MacDamarco as well.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I like the idea of MacDamarco.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, right.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_00: But I can very much like Kurt Vile and not Corney Barnett.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_00: I think I think you should give Corny Barnett's debut record another go.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's like it's not bad.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_00: I don't mind it.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_00: Sounds good.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_00: I'll look into it.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_00: I'll bring it to fucking final club one time and make it work.
• 26:38
  SPEAKER_00: No, you won't.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_00: Um Best Dance, electronic release.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_00: You've got Nina Dirachi, Wanna Cry, Addicted to Base Dom Dollar, Afterthought, Tame Impala, Your Mate, Yes Boon, All I Really Want.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_00: And then you've got Actin' Tough, Dean Turnley.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_00: Your mate.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I think on Impact, Afterthought by Tame Impala is probably gonna win.
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_00: Although Dean Turnley's song was everywhere.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's true.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_00: I also think Nina Dirachi could, like she had an she swept almost every category she was in last year.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_00: She could keep the uh the keep the good times rolling this year.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_00: 100%.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_00: And I want to or handball you this one, Maxwell.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_00: But we're gonna talk about it.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_00: The best alternative release.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_00: Let's do it.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_00: Let me just find it.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_00: There it is.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_00: Uh looking for people to unfollow by Eka Vandal, Things Take Time by Gang of Views, Red Star, Red Star Woo in the World, Wild Worldwide Scourge, sorry, uh by Genesis Usu, It's My Party by Meg Mac, and Deadbeat by Tamium Parla.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I would like to see Genesis Usu take that one home.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_00: I think everything he's dropped recently has been fucking fantastic.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_00: But again, what is alternative classified as?
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what is it?
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I think generally speaking, alternative classifies it as like is it mainstream rock?
• 27:45
  SPEAKER_00: No, then it's probably alternative.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah no, sorry, not even mainstream rock, but mainstream pop is probably a better.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_00: But this is where I get confused.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_00: And this is why I'd love to talk to the Ari Award categorists.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_00: You've got Tamium Parler being nominated for best alternative release for his Is Deadbeat the album?
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_00: Deadbeat is the album, yes.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_00: So that's the album.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_00: There is a song also called Deadbeat.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_00: But then there's a song called Afterthought, which we just talked about, being nominated for Best Dance.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_00: So it all a lot of it comes down to which charts it charts in.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's so confusing.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_00: But there's there would be a uh there would be a uh you know, brand Bible somewhere in the backs uh backstage of the arias that's like this thick that says like if it can something can be in the you know top 40 chart.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_00: There's you know the top 40 chart is just the top 40, like what is the highest line stuff of all time?
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_00: Then it gets into the category stuff, which is always there's always line balls about what is uh in or out for different categories, different genres.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I think to when um Old Town Road from uh Little Nas X.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_00: That was country.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_00: Well, there was a whole thing about it because it actually got banned from the country charts, despite the fact that I would say quite obviously it's country.
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but it got banned from the country charts and then got readmitted to the country charts after there was an uproar.
• 29:06
  SPEAKER_00: And so it all comes down to like some at some point it comes down to like here's a set of criteria.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_00: Does it fit in this criteria?
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_00: No, then it doesn't fit in this chart.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_00: And probably some person just making a call.
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it would be nice to just you know have fork found in kitchen rather than fork found in bathroom.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_00: But what about you know fork found in toaster in bath?
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_00: We've been there.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_00: But also like, you know, what's what about a what about like a pitchfork?
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_00: That's often found in the in garden shed.
• 29:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's very confusing.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_00: But um rounding it out, nominees for best or for album of the year.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_00: There's a few heavy hitters you've got Soul Star Boy Soda, DMA self-titled, looking for people to unfollow, Echo Vandal, Red Star Woo, and the World Wide Skurs.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_00: You also tripped on it.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_00: Thank god.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that was tough.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_00: Just as a woo-suit, and then you've got Deadbeat Tamium Parla.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_00: I see Tamian Parler winning and him not being there to accept the award.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_00: Very possibly.
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_00: Um Arias, Kevin here, did you know I'm just one guy?
• 30:03
  SPEAKER_00: I think Echovandal could be a real smoking, real dark horse on this one.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_00: I think um, very like huge overseas, uh, like massive overseas impact.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_00: And I think one of those albums that will sneak up on a lot of people.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_00: And everyone will be like, oh, I've loved Echo Vandal for the longest time.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_00: Shut up.
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_00: She is they are a band, but also she's the driver of a lot of it, I believe.
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_00: She's been killing it overseas for a long time, and Australia's been sleeping on her.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_00: So I'd love to see her win.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_00: I'd love to see her sort of stuck.
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_00: Fuck you, Australia.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_00: I love it when artists do that.
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think I don't I don't love it when an artist do that because I think two things two things can be true at once.
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_00: You can be a big Australian artist and you can be successful at the stage.
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to say fuck you, Australia.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, true.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_00: You can it's funny though.
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_00: You can be real and also be very good.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_00: But to do it on the Arias stage would be funny.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's funnier just to go fuck the Arias sometimes, but yeah, yeah.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_00: It would be a power move just to not go.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_00: Potentially.
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_00: But also, again, if you're if you're up by album of the year, like I think you'd still be like Akavandal obviously had a lot of support from Triple J back in the day.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I think it's still a quite nice, you know, uh rounding it off moment for uh someone who has who who went through the Australian scene and then found success overseas.
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_00: True.
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_00: Dancing two nominated for Song of the Year.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_00: I can't wait for Dancing Three to come out, Sam.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_00: That's horrific.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, should we get to the suitcase, Maxwell?
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_00: Let's um let's give it a little zippy zip, Sam.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_00: What kind of fucker are you?
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_00: Maxwell, I've been doing a lot of thinking.
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_00: I've been listening to some beautiful music.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, and it's just got me I want to start a conversation with you and our listeners.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_00: Hi, listeners.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_00: Listeners.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_00: How are you today?
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_00: Um but I've been listening to a lot of Radiohead, a lot of Joji, a lot of um even Oasis a little bit.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_00: Oh beautiful, beautiful music.
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_00: From beautiful, beautiful people, Sam.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_00: Evocative, atmospheric, makes you feel things sad.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_00: Oh.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_00: Um so I want to talk to you about beautiful songs.
• 32:16
  SPEAKER_00: One of the most beautiful songs of all time.
• 32:20
  SPEAKER_00: Sam.
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_00: My first beautiful song.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_00: I think is beautiful because it shouldn't be beautiful.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's delicate, it's intimate, but it also has all these different weird things that make it not feel that.
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_00: There's like a detuned piano, there's some hand claps, there's like quite a driving bass line.
• 32:38
  SPEAKER_00: And if you were to tell me like all of that results in this quite cozy, nice, happy, beautiful song about the family dog, I'd be so surprised.
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but it does, and it's Charlie by More Rat.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_00: Brisbane's own.
• 32:52
  SPEAKER_01: All you gotta do is wait for me to get a lady in the lady, children.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's very it's very nice.
• 33:18
  SPEAKER_00: On paper, it shouldn't be that nice.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's so there's lots, there's so much going on.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_00: Bit happening.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_00: I thought you'd bring like the modern the modern take, so why don't you take me through the rest of your you want to just keep going with this?
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_00: This next one uh from a Canadian band called Dizzy.
• 33:33
  SPEAKER_00: And I think there's a similar like sonically quite similar to what uh you just said with Charlie, but I think on the back end it's beautiful, not because of what's going on, but just how simple and it just makes so much sense.
• 33:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's so smooth and easy, like the the vocal line and the keys kind of all blend together.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_00: There's these nice harmonies.
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's a song called Swim.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Sam, alright, this next one is uh a song that you and I often both talk about.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_00: Not often, actually, we haven't talked about it in a while, but it's one that we've definitely connected about previously.
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_00: I saw you studying it.
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_00: I know what it is.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_00: Did you?
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 34:32
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's uh Claire de Loon by Fly Facility.
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_00: Hell yeah, brother.
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_00: Claire de Loon, the the piece by Claude Debussy, Sam, uh, is so iconic that trying to recreate it as like a chill electronic song is like an insane move to do.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, but Fly Facilities just they capture the vibe in this song.
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_00: Like that it doesn't, it's there's parts that sort of recreate moments from Claire de Loon, but they don't try and like do that wholesale.
• 34:56
  SPEAKER_00: Honestly, not only one of the best or most beautiful songs of all time, arguably, I'm gonna say one of the best songs of all time.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_00: It is an incredible song.
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_00: It's seven minutes that just has this beautiful, tender intimacy to it.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's fucking awesome.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_00: Until Telstra attempted to ruin it, you fuck.
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_00: But they failed because it just it just still works.
• 35:43
  SPEAKER_00: Ugh.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_00: And just on an album that's full of like otherwise quite like vibey club bangers, just to put seven minutes of like the most chill shit you ever heard.
• 35:53
  SPEAKER_00: It just the way it builds and oh yeah.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, listen to it in the car.
• 35:57
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, night time in the car when it's raining.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_00: Fuck me up.
• 36:01
  SPEAKER_00: I think I'm gonna do that when I go home because it was starting to rain.
• 36:05
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it was starting to rain when I walked in.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, there you go.
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_00: Hopefully, hopefully you're all set.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_00: Driving over the story bridge.
• 36:10
  SPEAKER_00: Oh try not to veer off.
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_00: This is it.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_00: We crash out.
• 36:15
  SPEAKER_00: I'm feeling so beautiful.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_00: Fuck it.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_00: It'll be poetic.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_00: Take me now.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Sam, this next one.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, friends of the show, Honey.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_00: Um, this song is called Life.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_00: You only get one.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I think what makes this song quite beautiful is that it's more the lyricism than the song itself.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's quite a simple message.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_00: You only get one life, use it well.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_00: YOLO.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_00: Enjoy it.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, fuck it.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_00: Just be a goodish kind of person and treat yourself well, is kind of the uh the idea of this song.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_00: But the message is so simple, and I think the way that they use the instrumentation to like reinforce that message, like everything is really simple.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's like this piano, a little bit of like guitar and a little bit of harmonica, then just some like random percussion kind of thrown in there.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_00: They don't overdo it.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_00: It's simplistic in the arrangement, it's simplistic in the message, and I think that's what makes this so beautiful.
• 37:13
  SPEAKER_05: So good, it's so good, it's so good.
• 37:18
  SPEAKER_05: So good, so good, so good, to score to the scene when you only get one.
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_00: Just hitting the old Bob Dylan at the end there.
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_00: The Bob Adildo.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Sam, I would say the opposite of Honey.
• 37:39
  SPEAKER_00: This song is beautiful because it's so big and intense and over the top, full of stuff.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_00: Hell yeah.
• 37:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's full of stuff.
• 37:48
  SPEAKER_00: Like a submarine.
• 37:49
  SPEAKER_00: Just fucking torpedoes.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway.
• 37:54
  SPEAKER_00: The so it's it's pipe organs, Sam.
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_00: It's these big booming drums.
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_00: It is Florence Welsh absolutely giving it a hell of a number on the uh on the vocals.
• 38:04
  SPEAKER_00: And I think this is probably the closest I think you could get to like for me at least, like a religious experience in music, because like I feel like this is what it would have been like to like a medieval peasant and go into church.
• 38:14
  SPEAKER_00: Like, this is so outside your everyday that you're like, you're like, whoa, this is just intense, and like you have a like it just forces an emotion out of you.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_00: Uh this is Shake It Out by Florence and Sam the machine.
• 38:26
  SPEAKER_00: Shake it out.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, very very much so.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_00: Her vocals are always fucked, though.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_00: She's so good.
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's ridiculous how talented she is.
• 39:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's forked.
• 39:07
  SPEAKER_00: But really, like when you when you hear her music and you're like just how?
• 39:13
  SPEAKER_00: Powerhouse.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_00: Powerhouse.
• 39:15
  SPEAKER_00: Powerhouse.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 39:16
  SPEAKER_00: If she was a house, she'd be in New Farm.
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_00: The powerhouse.
• 39:23
  SPEAKER_00: The powerhouse.
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_00: If she was a tradesman.
• 39:26
  SPEAKER_00: She'd be an electrician.
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_00: Very possibly.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_00: Anyway.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_00: So what's what's beautiful you do?
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I find some of the most beautiful songs of all time to be very sad and evocative.
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_00: So you've gone from for a bit more of a a neutral playing field.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_00: I've gone for the fuck yeah, let's time to die.
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_00: Let's reminisce on my own hand.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, let's reminisce on life and like think about all the happy and sad memories.
• 39:56
  SPEAKER_00: I think sad music can bring out happy memories.
• 40:00
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 40:02
  SPEAKER_00: Or it's like a nostalgia or a reminiscing.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like a like a the like a melancholy, potentially.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna start with a radio head song.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_00: Oh yes.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_00: Um Let Down, which is from OK Computer.
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_00: Um really has been in his radio head shit recently.
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_00: When they hit right, they hit good.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's just a pity they released so much meh.
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_00: But uh Let Down's gonna be one of their best songs.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_00: If you watched The Bear, it was in that.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but I'm just gonna I'm gonna play you a little bit of a snippet of the the bridge.
• 40:35
  SPEAKER_00: Let me down.
• 41:02
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes Tom York needs to just call it Tom.
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_00: Tom.
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_00: Poor Tom.
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_00: Uh the next song, Maxwell, I think, is one of the best love songs ever written.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_00: And that is.
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just gonna play it to you.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_00: Play it, just play it for me.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_00: I'm surprised it wasn't in yours.
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_00: Sing a new.
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_00: Man, I love parachutes.
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_00: That is the album, correct.
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_00: Correct.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_00: Ding ding ding.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_00: Um just romantic.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_00: Smooth, simple.
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_00: Most people's wedding song.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_00: Very most.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_00: We've taken a survey of a hundred people, and eighty percent of them have that as their wedding song.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_00: Max will have something niche.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_00: The artist niche is gonna play.
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_00: Fuck yeah.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_00: She's sick.
• 42:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um the next one again, a song that you ask anyone um who knows anything about sad, beautiful, melancholy music, they're probably gonna play this one.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's Lord Horen.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_00: Lord Huron?
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_00: Horon?
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 42:27
  SPEAKER_00: Heron.
• 42:29
  SPEAKER_00: H U R O N.
• 42:31
  SPEAKER_00: Huron.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_00: Like the lake.
• 42:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 42:35
  SPEAKER_00: Lord Huron.
• 42:36
  SPEAKER_00: Close enough.
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_00: Lord Heron the bird.
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, it's the night we met.
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 42:44
  SPEAKER_00: You you'll know it instantly.
• 43:12
  SPEAKER_00: Very sad.
• 43:13
  SPEAKER_00: Very beautiful.
• 43:14
  SPEAKER_00: Speaking of sad, the next one, one of my favorite songs of all time.
• 43:18
  SPEAKER_00: I'm seeing him in December.
• 43:21
  SPEAKER_00: I am or in November.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_00: Sweet Child of Mine by Guns N' Roses.
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_00: How good's retirement?
• 43:28
  SPEAKER_00: Um, it is Joji, famous for writing an emo anthem.
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and this song, I'm gonna scream my little language out too.
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_00: Oh the last one, Maxwell, is um an artist I am surprised you didn't bring, to be perfectly honest.
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_00: I was preparing for this.
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
• 44:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's M eighty three.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_00: Ooh.
• 44:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's from Hurry Up We're Dreaming.
• 44:13
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, an unbelievable record.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_00: Nearly perfect.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_00: I you know what?
• 44:18
  SPEAKER_00: I agree, in the sense that I think if you were to take the best songs out of it, you've got a perfect album.
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_00: I think too long.
• 44:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I agree.
• 44:27
  SPEAKER_00: Nearly perfect.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_00: If you if you took probably I'd say the ten best songs off that record, and I'd be hard pressed to say which ten of the right the ten, but I feel like I could I could definitely get to like six, but anyway, and then put that as one record.
• 44:40
  SPEAKER_00: Well, a song that hits every time.
• 44:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_00: My tears would be coming to C.
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_00: Oh.
• 45:15
  SPEAKER_00: Someone once described that album by saying that almost every single one of those songs could be the last song they play on Earth.
• 45:22
  SPEAKER_00: 100%.
• 45:22
  SPEAKER_00: It feels so dystopian and like end of the world.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's the perfect way to put it.
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_00: Like the meteorite is hitting.
• 45:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 45:31
  SPEAKER_00: This is what's playing.
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_00: Outro.
• 45:34
  SPEAKER_00: Outro wait.
• 45:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 45:36
  SPEAKER_00: Probably not Midnight City, but your fucking bulk of it did though.
• 45:39
  SPEAKER_00: Just going out to the saxophone solo at on the end of Midnight City.
• 45:42
  SPEAKER_00: You've got reunion, where the boats go.
• 45:45
  SPEAKER_00: Steve McQueen's got a vibe to it as well.
• 45:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there's a lot you could choose.
• 45:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 45:49
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm sure people can do whatever they please with those ten beautiful songs.
• 45:54
  SPEAKER_00: Take that information, stick it up your jumper.
• 45:55
  SPEAKER_00: Uh do it the way you want.
• 45:57
  SPEAKER_00: I would recommend if an asteroid's gonna hit and wipe out the entire human uh population.
• 46:03
  SPEAKER_00: M eighty three is a safe choice.
• 46:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 46:05
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe three.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe three.
