It's a cruel, cruel summer leaving me here on my own.... A summer themed episode of Radio Clash, from track from recently released Summer Booty 2023 to a summer blues mix for driving along Outrun style by the beach with a Ferrari Testarossa (beware the large stone heads! Oh no, that's Space Harrier)...also some tracks from the recent-ish Crumplstock 11 and DJNoNo's new Interval album with some disco and drum and bass interludes. And we feature some songs of this summer from Counting With Margaritas to Heartbeats, and a space theme with Robot Beatles and the Robots themselves with the OG Robots via Rockabilly Kraftwerk. Cos space it's always summer in space! And weirdly a lot of Jimmy Buffett. I forgot to say thanks to pomDeter for the mix where I got the Jean Grae & Quelle Chris track from - cheers pom!

Clash and that was, well two songs of the summer, the officialsong of, that's the official song of summer which is Gimme One Margarita by That ChickAngel as used in a Multi Margarita Mash, MMM, yes that's Dirty Margarita Bounce NumberFive by Pimp Daddy Supreme, Jimmy Buffett featuring That Chick Angel, Sister Cindi whichis the meme that started it all, and I'll explain in a bit, once I've listed all thesepeople and Lou Bega versus Don Henley, obviously we always like to put Don Henley in mashupsbecause that always goes down so well with Don, versus the showboys, yes Sister Cindi,let's start with her, she's an evangelical preacher that appears on campuses in theUnited States and the whole of the rap by That Chick Angel, Gimme One Margarita, GimmeTwo you know, is from a Sister Cindi preaching about, only takes one Margarita to do wickedthings and so of course in a, interestingly in a podcast, That Chick Angel then goes anddoes that rap on the fly and then someone samples it and then it becomes a releasedrecord with Steve Terrell and Karl Degson and Cassa Di, yeah that's become a big thing,there's Margarita mashups appearing all over the place and it seemed to have been a bitof a viral summer hit and then before that we had another song of the summer I thinkPadam Padam by Kylie as remixed by me, finally I find something that works with Twilight byElectric Like Orchestra, ELO's Time is one of my favourite albums of all time, I knowthat ELO, Cognoscenti do not like that album but they're wrong and there's some brilliantsongs on it and Twilight, it's heavily involved in geeking out and make up just because ofDaikon 4 intro but it's in a weird key and it turns out that Padam Padam is in thatstrange key which is melodic major or I'm not going to Mixolydian b6 and all kinds ofthings that sound like Star Trek planets so I managed to get it to work, it's difficult,that acapella is hard, Like Montero by Lil Nas X it's got those weird auto-tune harmonieswhich are not really in key or I don't know what key they're in, it's in a strange harmonisation.That's the second version, Padam and Twilight and I think that works very well and it'sby Instamatic, my Instamatic moniker, yes I use multiple aliases and will continue todo so and yes there's a summer show as you might have guessed from the title Cruel Summerwhich is one of my favourite summer songs actually and that's partly because we'recovering a few things that have happened this summer, one is the release of SummerBooty by DJ Useo and Friends 2023 which I have a track on which you'll hear lateron in the podcast but you also hear some other tracks from that compilation all about summermashups and also we had Crumplstocks just happened just over a week ago the online festivalsame weekend as Glastonbury and that was a lot of fun I wasn't in a DJ and DJ no nostepped in at last minute and you'll hear some of those tracks and you'll hear sometracks from people who are involved with Crumplstock but first you'll hear a summer mix,a Cruel Summer mix of various things that have been released recently and not so recentlyand some covers like you hear in the background I've got some covers and you may be lateron the drum and bass section if you're lucky but we're gonna start off with a track byRhythm Scholar and he is very recently remixed another one of my favourite favourite tunesof the summer which is Boys of Summer by the aforementioned yes Don Henley again, I wonderif I'm gonna get the lawyers on this podcast so this is the Boys of Summer Rhythm ScholarNeon Beach remixOf course it's from Bluey that's Joff Bush or well I just said Bluey I think is JoffBush that one there's a very bad credits on the Bluey the album the first one justtends to credit everything to Bluey and it's very hard to work out who did what butthat's I think that's Joff Bush with Pool from the I come up with his first or secondseason of Pool episode because I know the first album is like tunes from the firstseason of half of the second season and then the dance mode album is half the second seasonand sadly I've now watched all of the Bluey so far I'm very sad I'm just waiting forthem to release the last I think four because I think they do 52 episodes a series there'llbe a Christmas episode definitely and there's only 47 I think or 48 47 released so fara series three and the cricket episode yes all the feels all the feels those are intoBluey but no I don't mean then before that similarly a bit like a Muppet song but notreally that's iWillBattle with boats to Coconuts that's Kim Petras versus JimmyBuffett Jimmy Buffett again is that two Jimmy Buffett mashups in the same he is this iscrazy this is crazy do you know buffeting me maybe I don't know yeah but this is crazyit's two Jimmy Buffett mashups the same podcast that wasn't intentional but yeah that didn'twin my challenge because I did the challenge about using artists before their famous butthat was one of the ones that's in it and must admit when I first heard it was I likethe Kim Petras I was a bit about the country but it grew on me especially when I listenedto the lyrics of Coconuts because of course that's definitely about a pair of Coconutsno other possible innuender there at all yes shouldn't really put it next to the Blueybut you know you can't really you can't really have a kid zone in this podcast getting kidslistening it's definitely about coconuts the things that hang off trees nothing else andyeah Kim Petras's first single I think one of the first releases was Coconuts which wasn'ta hit like a lot of early Kim Petras stuff it wasn't a hit because it was the time was readyfor a trans superstar things have changed since I think and quite right too because we just hadLondon bride so I have to go out to bride as well every day is pride in this podcast but you knowand then before that we had Brighton Sonny with Snow On The Beach On The Beach I think it's justcalled snow on the beach on the graphic I thought that title was better it's like snow on the beachon the beach on the beach on the beach I think that snow on the beach on the beach is actuallybetter title but anyway it's Taylor Swift versus Chris Rea and I really hate that Chris Rea trackit's one of those songs that used to haunt summers in my childhood but actually it's made a lotbetter with Taylor Swift over the top although you do hear how annoyingly jazzy that song is yesand then before that we had Adriana A with Cruel Summer Bloodsport Ace of Base versus Tokyo Roseand Power Glove and that was for the Cyberpunk Bootie project and I thought oh I like that especiallywhich I thought was Bananarama but it's actually the Ace of Base version it's almost identical I meannot not completely but you know it's very similar version vocally I'll allow it because I think Imade it second I think it might have been put into that same travel and just a thing whileshe was doing the sober bunk and I think I've got that in number two I thinkbig just because it's a Cruel Summer it's one of my favorite songs I prefer the Bananaramaversion but you know I'll allow the Ace of Base version even though dodgy past of one oftheir members we won't go into that yes talking about things that we shouldn't go into this podcastalmost got called First Law of Rebootics Don't Mention The Reboots but hey it's too long to itit's too specific it's too much on in reference to a certain discord server but yes it all kickedoff about reboots again it always does I'm not going to go into why but you know I thought thatFirst Law of Rebootics was quite a good joke I will use it at some point and then before that we hadFissunix Fissunix is always well listening to and that's from Summer Booty 2023 Broken Summerback to the 80s Bananarama versus Mister Mister versus Madonna and lots of other things I mean really80s nostalgia and summer go hand in hand with me but as you might have guessed from that summermini mix it wasn't exactly yeah or sunny and rosy which has been my summer really it's beenfar too hot and I've been far too depressed so that's hence why we've got this Cruel Summertheme it's like a bittersweet this sort of sunny stuff Black Hole Sun definitely there's no BlackHole Sun in this podcast it probably should be but I think I've played all the versions and themashups I like of it and all the covers literally I've played everyone you know that's another summersong I really like there are a lot of blues summer songs and I will talk about this later on butthere are a lot of songs which are actually in a minor key they're songs about summer but therest are quite sad if you actually listen to the lyrics you know theme seems quite oh it'ssun it's summer sunny oh but he listened he's like hmm and that's this case with Cruel Summerso before that Cruel Summer block we had The Routes with Trans Europe Express from 2022 yeah if Idon't mention dates they're all modern apart from the blue which is 2021 they're all kind of recent2023 if I don't mention the date I think we should have that rule if I don't mention the date it's thisyear because otherwise we're just listing modern stuff all the time but yeah The Routesand they did the pocket calculator that I used in the firstspeaking bit in the background The Routes do a brilliant album which is calledThe Twang Machine and it's well worth checking out it's all surf rock covers of craft work songsand unlike the Inokasira Rangers Summer Madness play before I don't think the japanese I think they'reitalian but they might be but I think they're italian The Routes but yeah I love that album andit is perfect perfect like Inokasira Rangers like you're hearing behind here Blue Monday they're justperfect for beds so I've actually redone all my beds I've obviously kept the classics the onesthat I regularly use and as I mentioned Inokasira Rangers Summer Madness from 2019 Now very hard to findvery very hard to find that stuff a lot of the stuff is he released on rare seven inches orcompilations but in that completion isn't even on discogs and I don't know whyit doesn't exist according to discogs because quite often if I find someone I really like I'll gohey I'll immediately hit discogs and go of what else are they done you know and do a deep dive onthem within Inokasira Rangers or Park Rangers as they're sometimes known who's japanese ska groupsome of that stuff is released under some of the names of some of the people I think I played onein the previous podcast and I kind of struggling to remember the name of it and it becomes okay butthe guy who he's someone to do it and he had to put it out under his name and it was a bornslippy one or another one but that sort of that sort of thing but Inokasira Rangers yeah it's kindof hard to find this stuff and I found that very recently I was like oh summer madness perfect sowent straight in and then it started that block we had Don Henley The Boys Of Summer Rhythm ScholarNeon Beach Remix and Rhythm Scholar did a video after that which I've not seen yet becausehe put onto youtube and you guess what happened thank you Don but Rhythm Scholar sort of uploadedit to his facebook page to download and stuff like partly because of that I think I wasn't surprisedfor it didn't last very long on youtube because don does not like mashups Don Henley The Eaglesabsolutely hates them so we're going to continue the party I don't know why I said it that witha track I'm really digging the moment by someone who I think they've got a little bit of successbut the generally I've not heard them before I can't remember heard of it I think I might haveheard this used in a mashup the backing and went oh what's that and but not the vocal I think thatwas the way it was and the vocal does really deserves to be used I heard it somewhere like thatI think it was in a mashup but the original is good this is Freya Ridings with WeekendsThat was Sail Away by Enyana from 2022 that was october 2020 until even that was the PremiereRock Forum Covers PRF Monthly Challenge which they have on bandcamp and in october 2020 it was enyaso there we have Nirvana's Stay Away mixed with Orinoco Flow called Sail Away I wouldn't haveany you will heard that I was going oh it's Nirvana and then after I was like hold on a minuteso it's kind of a mashup in rock form what do we call those not cashups mothers cashupsyeah maybe they do make a lot of cash remember the chemical cashups I don't know then beforethat we had a drum and bass section yay I did enjoy setting that up when I was pre mixingwhat I don't pre mix I'd mix everything live especially this show because there was a longgap and all these Crumplstock tracks dropped and then I wanted to play a lot of originals aswell I didn't want to just be all mashups and because there's a long gap between the lastpodcast that wasn't a pre done podcast but I'm not pre done in the sense of it wasn't pre recordedit was kind of hard to put everything in so this broadcast had a lot of kind of weeding throughkind of and does this work does this work does this work does this work it's always difficultbecause you don't want to throw out the curveballs because sometimes the curveballs are the bestpart but also this there's always in a mix something you really want to put in there but itsort of sticks out like a sore thumb and so I had to do a lot of that so it wasn't really pre mixingbut I kind of practice the mixes in a way I don't know it's not really practicing but play testthe mixes really see if they're working at the very least go you know the transitions between thembut yeah the drum and bass section was like do I think I'm using my new controller which is onthe laptop and going oh yes yes yes yes I think Adriana was right when he said you're a drum andbass DJ I am a heart although not professionally so that was Makoto featuring Degs I've been lovingMakoto I heard a track off the Hospital Records 100 album the compilation they released I thinkit was at the end of last year or it was early this year they had Makoto on there and I reallyliked that Makoto track and I was like who's Makoto and I found out he's a Japanese drum andbass producer has been going on since the 90s or late 90s or early 90s long long time I'd notheard off his work and it is liquid liquid drum and bass very I described it online I was tryingto be very careful just in case Tony from Hot Records saw it but it really sounds like LondonElektricity without someone having children and being distracted by running a label there was aperiod about 10 years ago where I think London Elektricity did a few albums where it didn'treally totally work and recent ones have been a complete return to form and back on track andthere was a long gap between that recent album and those so it seemed to be a period where it wasjust London Elektricity wasn't really a recording album thing I don't know if it was touring butit wasn't really the main focus whereas Makoto has been sort of plugging away repeatedly soand anybody who works with Degs is good with me so that was Luminate with Degs by Makoto and that'sfrom 2019's Tomodachi Sessions which is well what a really good really good album check it outand then before that we had Makoto featuring Karina Ramage if you want to check out Makototrack I really recommend just going straight to the Karina Ramage track she works with Makotoquite a lot and they are just chef's kiss but the thing about liquid drum and bass is it can getrather noodley it needs an emotional centre for London Elektricity it would argue it's LianeCarroll for Makoto it's Karina Ramage it's just something works sort of seeing a song or IT thingbut the with the liquid drum and bass works very well so I don't want to wake up from 2017'sSalvation LP then before that the aforementioned London Elektricity featuring Liane Carrollwhy are we here spy remix I mean I love it when London Elektricity asks kind of questions likea bit like the psychiatrist five cents the psychiatrist is inof drum and bass they do that and so is Degs as well really about mental states butsome of the London Elektricity does is they do talk about existential things which is notusually what you associate with drum and bass so that was from 2016 and then before that we hadCalyx and TeeBee with Anything for Attention that's from a new album or newish album 2022 which sayshere plates I have to thank Dunproofin for putting me on to that and one of his drum andbass mixes I don't think that's one he played but he played one of the other Calyx and TeeBee andyeah I know of Calyx and TeeBee and I've probably played some Calyx and TeeBee on this podcast but notfor a while so it's always good to check in like with London Elektricity and Makoto and otherpeople haven't heard for a while because you know I just wander off and listen to something elseand get into bunching or something like that and then wander into the wilds and then somethinglike oh you know years later I'm like oh what happened to so and so and I find out the releasedalbums and I didn't check them out I'm very bad for that then before that we had Kompressor withWe Have to Fight from Discipline I can't remember where Discipline was released I think it'slike a lot of Kompressor stuff it's early noughties so I think it's number four I thinkfrom my memory correctly again I went through all the Kompressor back catalogvery very funny very good although it's interesting how it reads as a parody becauseKompressor with a K being a type of car and it's sort of German parody and the guy isn't Germanso it's kind of like this industrial Kraftwork pastiche but then there's tirades about the musicindustry and have to fight against you know this barrage of shit and that's what seemed tosink very well with anything for attention we're just talking about that on a social media thingwhere especially I suspect Instagram and Twitter the Twitter's going down the tubes fast butthat sort of wanting likes and attention and TikTok as well that's wanting attention and wantingnumbers and likes yeah I just thought those two released probably about almost 20 years away fromeach other a similar thing from different angles one social media one more about mass media sothat's the interesting thing about Kompressor is there's very serious stuff in there but it'sdone is like oh this funny parody but it's a bit like weird owl with more politics it'sthis interesting you know I like the covers but I never really got the original thing I heard themaround the time and the reason why I think he's probably serious is because when he and I forgetthe name of the guy who did it stopped doing Kompressor he just released all of the music onlinebasically under a non-commercial commercial commons that I think existed then but basically undernon-commercial creative commons which is saying you know as long as you don't make money off ityou know have at it so yeah I don't think he was total parody all of the music industry criticismthen before that we had Ian Geek with Es-tu Narcissique at Orbital versus Blur I have to say I preferthat way better for the actual new blessing or newish bursting I don't know if the Blur albumsdropped yet I haven't heard everyone going on about it so I don't think it has but yeah theNarcissist is a new single by on newish single by Blur came out was it end of May or June I think it was JuneI have opinions about modern Blur and Damon and lots of opinions about Damon and some of thestuff he's done but yeah it works way better with him then before that we had a mashup byme again but under another alias the aliases will not go away this is Captain ObviousSpace Flowers Disco is live version I have to kind of remaster that it sounds a bit weirdbut I redid it a second version there wasn't massively anything wrong with the first versionjust I wanted to restructure it slightly and then I added in the Eddie Izzard Mystery Men it's asuperhero film from 1999 sort of comedy film or spoof but as Eddie Izzard saying Disco is liveI couldn't use a sample that was used before the last days of Disco which is whole mighty withDisco will never die and that's from the last days of Disco film I couldn't use that becausehe told me to use it for Disco Deluxe 7 so anyway but I just thought it's worth saying it's what Ibelieve I believe that Disco will never die and there is kind of a revival going on it comes andgoes it's like Daft Punk Filter House had a had a Disco revival for a bit so it's like that was thelast one and now there seems to be rumblings with Dua Lipa and Kylie and other people about sort ofDisco the last year couple years and the track before that Freya Riding's Weekends total Discoas is Flowers which was in the Captain Obvious matter I thought to say it's Miley Cyrus versusSheila B Devotion I think it was just Sheila at that point although she's known as Sheila B DevotionI think B Devotion had gone and Spacer is on my favorite tracks of all time Nile Rogers Chicof course and yeah the Freya Riding's Track of Weekends which starts off very kind of like Mopeypiano singers on writer but then goes very Disco and I like the sentiment because I didn't go toPride this year which is probably because it got disrupted by Just Stop Oil which was weird that wouldhave annoyed me I just wasn't feeling it I actually stayed here and did a clay sculpture I found muchmore productive yeah I'm doing and working on a Green Man in Modelling Clay because I found someModelling Clay for cheap TKMaxx and I was like oh Pebeo Modeling Clay and I was like oh because I'vealways wanted to get back into sculpture and pottery well not since pottery is in pots but you knowclay work clay sculpture and this is a way of doing it for the back door because it's self firingI'm sure it'll crack and fall apart and everything but it's a lot of fun doing it sowe're going to play a track by Michael the DJ who's kind of new to me because of all what'shappening at Reddit all the horror of Steve Hoffman and Spez the CEO basically saying screw you toall the people who are running Reddit all the moderators and which I am kind of want are mashupsthe mashups Reddit which I'm a silent moderator on is now got discord and it makes it so mucheasier to actually find things you can just scroll down you know I'm not a big fan of the old schoolforum thing because you want to scroll through just a lot of tracks a bit like Remix Dot Audioyou can just scroll through and first play it that is so much easier than have to go inclick on the thing oh I don't like that go back out again you know it's like what is this in2000s you know it's like so I've been checking out some of the people now and one of the ones Ireally loved was Michael the DJ and she did a EP recently called Mixtape Number Oneand this is if you can put it into the right slot that's not you for missing that's puttingit into the wrong deck this is Pink Floyd InterludeThat was Kylie Minogue with Say Something Acoustic I don't know how official that iswho is from a kind of an unofficial compilation called Disco CD Restored but there's anotheracoustic version which is very different so it almost sounds like these extracted vocalssomehow from the final version but yeah I like that I mean the whole disco thing from 2020where Kylie did this whole gospel disco thing and the live event in November was very emotionalespecially after all the lockdown and that song always gets me because of the lyric can we be allas one again and the other one oh we all got Wunderlust in the darkest place so it seemed to describethings of the diamond then before that we had Oki and naughtily ripped off his youtube page becausethat's a live jam for the HWJ event called EPA very Tangerine Dream a lovely droneTangerine Dream thing going on there that end mix include two count them two of my favoritepeople I actually know I mean I've got a lot of favorite musicians there's not so many favoritemusicians I actually know personally the other one was earlier in the mix Mark but yeah it's reallywonderful acid synths sort of ambient when there's all done live with little machines and things likeall done with hardware or I think mostly with hardware then before that we had EverythingWith The Girl When You Mess Up from 2023's fuse and that's a song I've taken out of so many podcastsit's a bit dark but I just love the line hate it when people give you advice when you mess upbecause it is it's like there's so much advice out there but not very little help if that makessense then before that we had the Beatles but it wasn't really the Beatles that was Grow Old andMe John Lennon's demo and I suspect I might be wrong but there's always hoo-ha when that cameout a couple of weeks later Paul McCartney announced about oh the last final song with the Beatlesnice to suspect it's going to be a version of that or something like that Grow Old with me is fromJohn Lennon's last demos it was actually released after he died and then Dae Lims on YouTube hasrecreated it as the Beatles as if the Beatles had done it themselves and she's got Paul McCartney'svoice in there because someone has gone and created an AI voice clone of Paul McCartneyand I think the vocal rather than taking it from the very low quality demo I think they'veeither mixed the both in or they've created a John Lennon as well but I love the harmonies andyou've got like the whole George Martin sort of Purcell handle I mean it's referring to a classicalpiece which I don't know but as someone said it's weird to have an AI song that actually moves youto tears and I got quite tearful when I first heard that because it's not only the meaning but it'salso the reuniting of the two together even virtually is quite moving especially with themeaning of the song so that got taken down but I found a copy of it and ripped it but I wonderwhether taking down whether it was possibly but that's the song that it's just a weird timingotherwise why not Paul McCartney is he just jump on all the new technology and he's aware of what'sout there he was aware of mashups because of people using Beatles in mashups and so he'she's very aware pretty aware so I wouldn't be surprised maybe it's something like that whenit comes out later in the year but I hope so but if not that is very beautiful and you can still hearit's a bit like with AI separation you can still hear slightly roboticness in the voices but thepart of McCartney bit is very good and the harmony is wonderful so yeah that works very well and I canimagine how much work that would be it's not something you just go oh type type not only ifyou've got to work phonetically I think with the voice clones the singing ones or what you do is yousing it yourself and then so you've either got to be able to sing it but you know notnecessarily massively in tune but you know I'm sort of in tune and then you apply the cloningprocess over the top which is probably what they did there but also you can kind of phoneticallyget it to sing as well like a voice synth that's just like yeah a lot of work then before thatwe had Virginia Astley from 1983s from Gardens where we feel secure that's summer of their dreamsVirginia Astley said to be new age I don't think that's new age because it's too experimental withall that reverse strings and those reverse guitars and stuff but I mean I know some easylistening library music and new edgy music was actually quite experimental but if you think aboutit doing a rhythm that's just the rowing which is very similar to my foundation I posted aboutmy foundation on my art blog tjbaker.co.uk I did a piece I mentioned I wasn't talking about thevideo pieces I do this I was just all focusing on my traditional work one of the pieces I didwas a video piece I got my dad to row there's a rhythm and yeah it's very mesmerizing and rowingyeah it's that sort of rowing rhythm and it just feels a bit more experimental on a lot of new agebut you know it has that new age feel but it's very ambient and certainly Virginia Astleymassive influence must be I'd be very surprised Alex Patterson had never heard that album thenbefore that we had from the new album interval we had did you know know with Break My Hart spelth-a-r-t that's Dua Lipa versus The Noveltones that's Noveltones the music from the galleryof Tony Hart's heartbeat heart attack the gallery music whenever they showed the people's I neversent anything into the Tony Hart's shows I evidently watched them but I never really sentanything in partly because they didn't send it back one of the classic tunes there's a couple ofthem that and cavatina are the classic ones that you used in the gallery so it's kind of like slowtv it's like showing pictures with music and then they might talk a little bit about the piece you'resaying you know it's wonderful a lot of slow tv comes from things like that it was a kid's showfor junior artists for those outside the uk I just love the fact that break my heart by Dua Lipaand the pun on the name and it actually more musically works then before that we had Jean Graeand Quelle Chris with Everything's Still Fine and it's not credited properly because Nick Offermanis the person doing the vocals on that I wouldn't be surprised that was inspired by that famous giftof the dog sitting in the burning room going this is fine and this mix my mixing is like clouds thatcome over and this is how I visualize it when I'm doing it I do visualize it you know he'sstanding standing on the river side of the river and it's a sunny day and suddenly a cloud comesover and mood changes and then it then it departs after a while and the light you know gets brighterand it's almost like sometimes that happens and your mood completely changes it's like it's likejust stepping into a sort of a blue mode Picasso then you come out and it's all like sort of hangoff you know so it's just that sort of feeling is what I was trying to do with the mixingsort of clouds coming and going of different moods and feelings that's a very potential thing to saybut that's what I was thinking and then before that we had Peggy_P that was from Peggy_P'sCrumplstock set so yeah there are some from Crumplstock sets in here I was planning toplay some of Oki's mashups from Crumplstock Lil Oki's stuff was very good but didn't fitin the mix and that's I've Got Bad Moments Ariana Grande versus Art of Noise I mean seriouslywork with Arnaud's I'm already there quite like Ariana Grande I don't know bad ideaabout Ariana Grande but it works very well that title sums it up then before that we hadI Know A Place The Creek Song by Joff Bush featuring Jazz D’Arcy and Helena Czajkaprobably said that wrong from Bluey the album from 2021 again that was badly credited I had to lookthat out and that's a sort of a vocal version I think at least there's a single from the Creekepisode of Bluey I thought say the everything's fine is in 2018 then before that we had Daft Punkwithin again that's kind of come in and gone in a lot of episodes because it just doesn'tseem to fit and it's sort of fit there and that's from Random Access Memories 10th Anniversaryand yeah it's such an alienated song and before that a bit of sort of slow disco let's Say She Shewith Better Man from their new album or it's been tagged as a new album but it actually was releasedlast year but I think they're doing a re-release called Prism and Say She She it's even the name isa reference to Chic they're such a big Chic fans say Chic so Say She She C'est Chic it's a referenceto that yeah I'm obsessed with Say She She at the moment then before that we had as I mentioned earlierMark David Hadley with Hollow from his album that came out in May An Idea Of Almost Nothingand that's the other person that I know I know from my art degree days who doesreally wonderful ambient found sound sound art musical pieces and yeah sometimes they're basedpurely on sound you know found sounds sometimes they're drones sometimes they're more you know moresort of musical like that one and it's all music being a more traditional musical and yeah I lovethat and some really nice pieces on that album you can get the Mark Hadley album over at hisbandcamp which is soundbymark.bandcamp.com then before that we had Hercules & Love Affair and ANOHNIwith Poison Storytelling that's from 2022's In Amber an album I struggled with I reallystruggled with when I heard it I know ANOHNI and Andrew Butler have moved away from doingdance floor bangers but I do kind of miss them a bit and it is a very heavy album very heavy andit's called Andrew Butler singing which is unusual it works in places but the many tracks are theones I really love and what I like about that one is it doesn't make it pretend to even try and putit into a pop prose with the chorus which is we have to be careful with new narratives becauseeveryone is rotted out from Poison Storytelling and that says everything about current state ofaffairs everything is so affected by toxic things in the environment and toxic things in the pressand toxic things ideas in society and people you know and it's just we do have to be careful thatthese these poison cakes sweetened with your disease show sugary you know I like that feelingthat everything is rotted out as if like it's a pier or like a wood by the water and it's goingto collapse it says it very well about what's going on the moment in the world then before thatwe had another one from the Interval album which is available on my bandcamp if you go torealityengine.co.uk you'll find it there or if you know where my bandcamp isit's easy to get that way and that was Dolly in Space, Jolene's Earthmen, Dolly Parton versusPaddy Kingsland with the Radiophonic Workshop who did an album in 1975 I think it was a four or fivehis own album and the Earthman is from that it's very well defined good quality versions but thatwas happened to be on the Sound Gallery and I loved it I was like it's classic classic classicPaddy Kingsland you know they've got their old school synths but also the wholefunk and space themes but it worked that's got the most likes of all the tracks I put onremixed audio of the interval album there's 17 tracks on there four of them are bonuses 13main tracks because some of the tracks I just couldn't all get to work I tried and I tried andI just bought them out I was like mmm yeah this isn't working and that won't get the most likesbecause yeah I didn't understand it just works so well you know but I'm sure people were likewhat is this not massive loads of likes across the album partly because it's not really a thingthat a lot of people will be into the interval music and the 60s and 70s production music andlibrary music I love it greatly so that's why I had to make it then before that we had Michael theDJ with Pink Floyd interlude from Mixtape Number One and there's some really good mashups on thatand some good mashups on Michael the DJ's bandcamp which is Michael the DJ dot bandcamp dot comso we've reached the end of the podcast way too long I knew it would be I knew I knew it I knewit would be I knew it it's always always too long over and that's what he said and I'm gonna play outwith a track from another track from some of OT 2023 the one I did and it fits the themethis summer bittersweet Cruel Summer theme I mentioned about the blues and summer and theweird thing is everyone probably thinks summertime which I've some have played in various formsthey even covered myself so I do know it fairly well as a song because I've tried to play on theguitar a lot of people think of it as like you know obviously a sunny summertime song but it'sit's a blues um it's I don't know it's not really a blue scale but it's in a minor key and it worksso well with Everything Everything's new album has a track called Leviathan on it which isabout grief and I didn't really discuss this when I released it but there's a lot of stuffthat happened in the summer of 2008 which I'm still having to process and um yeah so this songis kind of a sort of about that it's sort of not but it I just love the Everything Everything songsomething about Everything Everything always the end songs there you know and isn't it's noteven the end of the album it's actually halfway through but you know the songs which you wouldexpect to close the album sort of more slower numbers seem to work better for me so this istbc aka Instamatic with Summertime Leviathan and as if it the artwork with the monster underwater and everything I put out there before just before the Titan sub stuff I was looking at thinkingyeah that might be seen as dodgy but you know it it was about that time not just before certainlybefore they were found they died and so I was like weirdly on theme but also could be seen assick but it wasn't supposed to be so this is Summertime Leviathan Ella Fitzgerald and LouisArmstrong versus Everything Everything and I hope you're having a good summerthen before that yeah I'm losing my voice seriously I'm losing my voice
