RC 386: Bagpipes, Big Smoke & Bling

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.

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.
