top of the second hour, we have the American radio
premiere of a brand new track from John Denton, and
then we're going to go right into our segment with
Sean Manchester. Who's just fantastic, really looking forward to that.
In the third hour, Warmonger will be joining us. We'll
actually be opening the third hour with the brand new
track from the American radio premiere of Elijah Jenkins new
track Stay Tonight, and then we'll be talking with the
guys from Warmonger. And at the close of the show. Today,
we've got a world radio premiere our friend Gary Smith,
one of the busiest musicians we know. He's got a
brand new song with one of the guys from Leon
Trout and it's called Confluence and it's really cool, really
interesting instrumental track. So there's lots going on. But what
we're going to do now to kind of open things
up today, we've got the American radio premiere of a
brand new track called Warmongers, and I'm gonna tell you
a little bit about it before we play it. This
is interesting. So the artist is yon Man from the UK,
better known to some as Roy Fletcher, but but now
he is going by for his solo music, he's going
by the name yon Mon. Following on from his debut
shine On, which is another great track. X Shed Project
front man Roy Fletcher is back under his new solo
project named yon Mon. His new single is called Warmongers,
and this is I was looking forward to speaking with
him about it. Unfortunately, he's had a family emergency, so
he's not able to join us live this morning, so
we hope everything works out. Okay. He did contact us
right before the show and explain what's going on, so
so our thoughts are with him and his family. But
in the meantime, so we will reschedule him for an
actual interview because I'm I'm dying to talk to him.
But this is really a great track and it hits hard.
So without further ado, here it is to kick things
off today on this very busy show. This is Warmongers
by yon On. This is the American radio premiere. The
track just dropped yesterday on all the platforms, but you
will not hear this on any other American radio station yet.
But this is the American radio premiere of Warmongers by
jan Mond, running.
Speaker 1: Less and mustallars off of Ruffin and Greed. But we
left s to see same lescy you really believe roughly
guess want big lie.
Speaker 4: I can see the smoke in this guy.
Speaker 8: Around the other the west.
Speaker 1: Somewhere that's flat size. So Scottist leave the west and

Speaker 2: Money does not grow alterations, you break the most all around.
Speaker 1: The guests bread says sol start steel steel the welting

so stop still, let's step.
Speaker 5: Your fee the other.
Speaker 1: The wil fast as we will fast us. Yeah, mid
the world is almost.
Speaker 5: That is the American radio premiere of Warmongers by Yon Munn.
And if you are just joining us and you are
hoping to hear us speak with him. He's had a
family emergency, so we will reschedule. But I'm very, very
interested to speak to him about that song. So that
was awesome. Yeah, yeah, really really great track. Although I
I do hope that it's not prophetic, you know. I
it's so catchy. I find myself singing along, you know,
at the end, But I hope those lyrics aren't true.
His prediction at the end of the world is almost here.
But I think people generally always think that the end
of the world is near whenever wherever they exist in
history and all the asteroid. Yes, yes, they'll figure out
a way to the world. Deflect that if need be.
I'm sure, but yes, but but but a great, great track.
Speaker 7: It's funny, So I was, I said, the world's kind
of heart right now, but except for here, it's freezing.
Speaker 5: I was about to be warm here next week is
going to be.
Speaker 7: In the fotch.
Speaker 5: Oh, absolutely, we've earned it. Interesting though, so his real name,
of course, Roy Fletcher from a band called The Shed Project,
and they've done a lot in the UK. But I
was checking out a couple of his previous This is
not the first single that he's released under yon mon uh.
He has a couple of others. That's his uh name
for a solo work, and I'm particularly interested asking what
that means yon Man. I assume there's some sort of
meaning behind it. But the other tracks, the previous two
singles that he's already released under Yon Man, they've got
kind of a fun britt pop, you know, they're kind
of light britt pop, kind of a vibe.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 5: So it's interesting to hear such a such a serious
track from him, but I really like it and you'll
be hearing that more on the show regardless, because that's
a that's a great track. Warmongers by yan Mon, I
do want to say hello to In the Facebook live chat,
Mike McDowell, better known as the Healer, says, let's go
good morning Matt and Company from the Spot and Devoted Repairs.
Of course, when he was on the show talking about
the Spot, his new place they're going to have all
ages events and so forth. Then of course Devoted Repairs
is Auto Repair establishment, and he's one of the great
people that we've met through Terminus and New Hampshire Underground right,
our friends Eleanor and Andre and everybody there, so great place,
and Mike of course doing very positive things in the
world which we appreciate, so very very good if you
are just joining us, of course, we do have a
very busy show ahead. At the top of the hour,
we're going to have the American radio premiere of the
new track from John Denton and Sean Manchester will also
be here with us in studio during the second hour.
Let's see.
Speaker 6: Actually, just because you mentioned it, let's just remind folks
that the New Hampshire Underground is a great community place.
It operates in national Yes, and this place has been
built by some really amazing creatives and it's meant to
be a place where people can get together, where people
can work together, like this area is for artists to
get together. There's an area where people can come in
and actually be a band or practice with instruments. Is
a room that's available that you don't have to have
on a regular basis, like you can go there and
utilize it as needed. There are a lot of practice
rooms as well. There's a lot of artists in there,
and of course it also houses Terminus, which is a
great small stage for to see a lot of local
artists and people that come through.
Speaker 7: In fact, we saw Green Jello there which was pretty insane. Yes,
and it's the home of.
Speaker 6: Dead Harrison, which you've been around the music community here,
you know Dead Harrison. And the Nashville Underground is actually open.
The New Hampshire Underground is actually located in Nashville. I
can speak at one thirty four Haynes Street. So look
up New Hampshire Underground. It's on Facebook, it's on the net.
Look up Terminus. Check it out. They got shows coming
up throughout all the time. In fact that they've got one, uh,
they've got one coming up March thirtieth. Yes, actually that
one's gonna have Sunset Electric Doggy Dog Questioning Beast doors

Speaker 7: Called the Night of the Fool.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were there for the open house for the
official changeover the evolution if you will, to New Hampshire Underground.
And yeah, I was amazing. It was fantastic what they've
done with it.
Speaker 7: I mean it was already a really they're really good cookies.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, the cookies. Yeah, I really like the Yeah,
they were good. But yeah, absolutely please support our New
Hampshire Underground and Permanus Underground and you know, and anybody
who's anybody who's doing great things in the music scene,
absolutely asolutely.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Green Jello, Yeah that was a lot of fun.
Speaker 7: That was crazy.
Speaker 5: We've been kind of following though online. I guess Slim
Jelly is no longer playing bass and Green Jello.
Speaker 7: He loves them. She just needed she needed to break
off and do her own thing for a bad Yeah.
Speaker 6: I've been watching her and she's getting ready to actually
tour on her own, so you'll be able to get
the fleshy.
Speaker 5: Thinky Flesh is the name of her project.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you should definitely look her up. She is a
lot of fun and she's amazing to watch in concert. Absolutely,
let me tell you, I've loved seeing her live. You
got to see her live. She's just great.
Speaker 5: By the way, speaking of amazing concerts, we should talk
about so, you know, obviously for the past I don't know,
almost a year and a half. You know, we don't
do politics on the show anymore, but we might have
another subject we can discuss that is not really not political,
but we'll still make some people angry, which is fun.
Very divisive issue is the surprisingly the super Bowl halftime show, Like.
Speaker 7: One of the very few people that was like, why
are you guys upset?
Speaker 5: Like I don't I know, well, my post on social
media that night, Wow, yeah, I said, and uh, I'm
trying to remember verbade in what I wrote. I said,
are Jenny and I the only white people our age
who actually enjoyed Kendrick Lamar's halftime performance? Because from what
I'm seeing on social media, a lot of you would
have preferred they wheeled out Grand Funk Railroad or something,
and and I.
Speaker 7: Don't get that, And I mean I really don't care.
Speaker 6: I mean, we were sitting there watching it, and one
of my first reactions was I loved the dancers.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I was like, oh, that's awesome.
Speaker 6: They're not a bunch of scandily clad women like they
got some. I loved the dancers. I loved the way
they were dressed. I loved the American theme. I loved
the the just the whole sequence of the way they
were dancing and how they were floating across the stage.
Speaker 7: And I thought it was so odd. I really loved it.
I enjoyed it.
Speaker 5: Samuel L. Jackson as Uncle Sam seriously perfect, right, which
I'm sure bothered some people. Why, well we know why.
But I thought it was cool.
Speaker 11: Why not?
Speaker 5: But I thought it it was pretty cool.
Speaker 7: No, I love how you called out the world too, ah,
don't be too and.
Speaker 1: By the way, too loud.
Speaker 5: And and by the way, I do want to clear
up one thing, though I didn't mean any in my post.
I didn't mean any disrespect to Grand Funk Railroad. I
hope no one takes that run. I mean, look, I
I was They're an American band. They're coming to your town.
They'll help you party down. They're an American band, So
no disrespect, I just uh no. But but actually so
it turns out though there are quite a few, uh
just looking at the responses to my posts, there are
quite a few white people our age and older who did,
in fact enjoy Kendrick Lamar's performance. But but a lot
of people, a lot of people didn't be you know,
some people, uh just don't like hip hop, which is fine,
you know, it's okay to not like hip hop. But
some people got got really carried away when some people
go so over the top with their criticism and that
they're like, oh, it was a political statement and that,
which which, by the way, it was not. It's certainly
not overtly in my you know, you can you can
read into it whatever you want to.
Speaker 6: But I mean, really a little bit, I think people
missed the missed the punchline in part with Serena Williams.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's not just that she's an ex of Drake.
Speaker 6: Yeah, her doing a kriv walk was a big deal
because when she was at Wembley when she won gold,
she did that and.
Speaker 7: Was absolutely poo pooed on across. People were mad. Everybody was,
how dare she do that? Karda dance?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, you know when they do it in the
end zone and football is fine.
Speaker 4: But you know she did.
Speaker 7: She did a happy dance for winning it. They were
just all over her. So her I think her doing
that was more than just I'm Drake's ex.
Speaker 6: It was taking back her power as a woman as
doing what she did, saying yeah, I I earned every
bit of the respect that I should have.
Speaker 4: She did.
Speaker 7: She's an amazing athlete.
Speaker 5: Oh absolutely. I don't know if it is okay to
do that in the end zone in football? Can you dance?
Speaker 1: Isn't that?
Speaker 5: Isn't that against the rules?
Speaker 7: I thought they had dancing.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Touchdown I think I think that against somebody.
Speaker 5: Somebody in the chat room can tell us. I might
be wrong.
Speaker 7: I thought they were allowed to do like the victory
dance when they score a touchdown.
Speaker 5: I don't think I think that's considered a show voting
or something. I don't think we're supposed to do that
or sportsmanship. I might be wrong. I might be completely wrong.
Speaker 7: I think football was kind of the birthplace of the
the touchdown down.
Speaker 5: Jenny and I are not. We are not fans of
sports ball, so we could be wrong about these things.
Just to clarify for people, we didn't. It's not like
we actually sat and watched the Super Bowl. We would not,
we would that. We we just we just went back
and watched the halftime show later, and yeah, I'm we
We we really enjoyed it. You know, a lot of
people just don't. If you don't like hip hop, then
you're you're not gonna like it, and that's fine. You're
allowed not to like h And I like hip hop,
Yeah I do too.
Speaker 6: I like almost all gendres of the one genre I'm
not a particular fan of I'm not gonna say because
I respect all the artists and everything they come in here,
and and really it's different when it's live, let me
just say, oh but huge difference.
Speaker 7: But I I loved the sequencing. I like how they
blended into each song.
Speaker 5: And it all built to something. It built which will
which will, which we'll talk about in a second. But
Nathan Hill, who's in the chat room, who's a very
talented musician, he's gonna be coming on the show soon,
really looking forward to that. Nathan Hill says only a
little dance and can't be a whole group taunting type thing. Okay,
so as long as it's relatively restrained, just a little,
a little dance, they're allowed to do that. Yeah, okay,
that makes sense.
Speaker 7: But again, like that's the invention of the birthplace of
the happy dance.
Speaker 6: I scored a touchdown. That's football is the birthplace of it,
you know what I mean? She was, she was happy
in the moment. She has won like the greatest she's
meant possible in her industry, in her in her chosen field,
and she got really attacked over it. So to have
her come on the Super Bowl and take back her
power and do that dance and say I'm proud of
everything I've accomplished.
Speaker 7: I think it's more than just she's Drake's ex girlfriend.
I think the people.
Speaker 6: I mean sure, I'm sure that played a little bit
of a role, because good for her man he was
so rotten to her. She deserved every moment of that too.
But I don't want to cheap in the fact that
we're talking about an olympian here who earned every right
to do her touchdown chance.
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh absolutely, that's my opinion.
Speaker 6: I don't understand why everybody's so angry. I don't get
the anger of it. I thought it was cool that
there was so much. I mean, it was patriotic as heck. Yeah,
get the American flag built out with the dancers. But
they seek why why doesn't that? Why isn't that I
thought I was pretty pretty patriot.
Speaker 5: Well, like I said, you know, some people just don't
like hip hop. But also but some people just just
like I said, some people just go way over the
top with it. And they see they see this overt
political statement, they see it a threat, as a threat
to them, and you know, they clearly prefer kid rock
or something, you know. And and I will say this though,
I I do want to defend like people who didn't
like it just because they don't like hip hop, or
just because they didn't like the mix and and they
felt like they couldn't hear them clearly enough or whatever,
that's all valid.
Speaker 7: I do want to I do.
Speaker 5: Want to defend those people a little bit because because
the other the other thing that happens, unfortunately is you know, everybody,
everybody gets ramped up on both sides, and so then
you have you have the people who that just isn't
their thing getting attacked automatically being labeled as racist because
they didn't like it. And that's not cool either. You're
allowed not to like it, you're allowed not You're allowed
not to like that kind of music. You're allowed not
to like that kind of performance. That doesn't make you racist,
Which is not to say that some of the what
I saw online, some of what I saw online, people
angry about it, who did go way over the top. Yeah,
there's clearly something and more, you know, Yeah, yeah, so
some some of them. Excuse me, I'm good worked up.
So some of those people, Yeah, especially the people who
believe that it was like, you know, some sort of
really overt aggressive political statement. Yeah, those people, I think
there's something going on there. But but I don't. But
I don't want to paint everybody that way. Some people
just don't like Look, if you don't like rap music,
you're not gonna like that, and that's you're allowed not
to like that. I liked it, and you liked it, and.
Speaker 7: They did when they did it before, and it was
like eminem up there. I didn't hear so much. I
feel like I didn't hear as much complaining about it.
Speaker 5: I don't know what you say, well, yes, that so,
although although.
Speaker 7: It's where my head's like, you all got a different
reason for not liking it.
Speaker 5: Although interestingly, Eminem, though, I will point out, he does.
Speaker 4: He does.
Speaker 5: His style and his flow. He does enunciate, although he's
sometimes it's hard to tell what he's saying because he's
so fast, he can go very fast. But he does
enunciate his words clearly.
Speaker 7: So does Lamar.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but not not not as much eminem. Eminem is
very precise. We could have a whole other conversation about that.
But but yeah, so so you know who, Oh boy, don't.
Speaker 7: Shopping later. I need my suit.
Speaker 5: I am struggling. Let me take another gulf of water here.
Speaker 7: Like I crave it on Saturdays, I have to have
my sushi.
Speaker 5: You know who else really enjoyed it, because he said
on Facebook and he texted me about it too, is
my dad. And it's funny because people who don't know
my dad, or people who only know my dad online
from his political posts and stuff, might be surprised. But
but I actually was not surprised. My dad liked it
a lot. And your dad's military, yeah, he's a veterinarian.
But the thing about my dad is. He's always liked
hip hop. I remember when when they did the remember
a few years ago when they had uh who was it?
They had Doctor Dre and fifty.
Speaker 12: Cent and you know legends and hip hop's Oh yeah, yeah,
that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 7: Any to hear complaints after that, No, no, well.
Speaker 5: I was some people, some people did, but although not
to this extent. But I remember my dad texting me
about that, saying how much he liked seeing Doctor Dre
there and everything. So my dad's always liked hip hop.
But my dad's always been someone too who really enjoys
hearing new music. So you know, like you know, growing
up a lot of people they have that generational thing
with their parents where you know, their parents only like
old stuff, you know, from their youth, and they don't
understand the name. My dad was never like that. My
dad even now at his age. You know, he lives
on the Sea coast and he loves listening in the
w u n H, the great college station there because
he loves hearing new music.
Speaker 7: Great place to hear independent artists, by the.
Speaker 12: Way, absolutely not just rock, but hip hop too. He
likes hip hop, So tune into the college stations. You
will be amazed at some of the artists you can hear. Yeah,
it's definitely worth it, definitely worth it. But yeah, I
remember you talking about your dad always like being interested
in new music and bringing that into the house, which
is awesome.
Speaker 6: Like you got to kind of grow up well rounded musically. Yeah,
you know, it wasn't like a particular genre that.
Speaker 5: Was like, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6: I grew up with like the Top one hundred you know,
Casey Kaseam was on in our house, the top one
hundred Rock and roll Hits of the day or whatever
it was. I remember my grandmother winning a Rolling Stones
album off of WBZ. Yeah, she loved those little contests.
Speaker 5: So the other thing that I love, and you seem
to be very into it as well, is the a
good old hip hop beef. Yes, when people are beefing.
Oh now, now the only time. I'm always fascinated by
that kind of thing, always have been. As long as
it doesn't end in violence, that's bad, you know, because
we you know, we've luck we you know, of course
in the nineties we lost Tupac and Biggie because of that.
Not that I think I feel like I am struggling
I feel like we're I feel like we're past that.
I feel like we're past all that, though in the
sense that you know, nobody's in danger, Like neither Kendrick,
Lamar nor Drake are in any danger from any of them.
Speaker 7: I hope not, at least I don't think like this
this is all of a verbal thing or what have you.
But I'll tell you what.
Speaker 6: I keep go ending up on rabbit holes of watching
other people reacting to when he finally because the build
up is crazy. He keeps giving little little teasers about
the song, and it's like, is he gonna play?
Speaker 9: It?
Speaker 7: Is gonna play?
Speaker 6: You watch some of these reaction videos and you'll see
people like he'll do a tease and people are like, ah,
he's not gonna do it.
Speaker 7: He's not gonna do it, like I want him to
do it.
Speaker 6: And then suddenly he starts it yeah, and people just
go crazee those are And then you can see.
Speaker 7: People like holding their breath.
Speaker 6: When he gets right to the park he's about to
do it, and he just looks that guy has got
the killer grin.
Speaker 5: He looks into the camera and says, say, Drake, oh
my god, it was really good that kills me.
Speaker 7: He has got the best. He does that grin more
than once.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's got this side eye grin that's just freaking
off right into the camera. Say Drake, let you and
he just goes on and yeah, oh my god, and
the whole super Bowl, all these people a mine.
Speaker 7: Fungus chorus. That lawsuit, he just might as well drop it.
I mean, come on, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 5: Yeah, for those who don't know about that part. So
this particular hip hop beef has escalated, though legally, because
Drake is suing uh, he's suing the label and I
think they're both on UMG. So Drake is like Limbiscuit
is suing Universal Music Group. So is Drake. But he's
suing over the Kendrick Lamar song because he's actually claiming
definition of character, which is kind of like that's like
the ultimate B move, right, and by B, I mean
you know, I can't say it here, but you know
what I'm saying, right, actually actually file a lawsuit over
a dis track? Like who does that? Has anyone else
ever done that? Usually you just respond with another dis
track and you keep going. As this thing between them
has gone on for a decade.
Speaker 6: Yes, However Devil's advocate here, Yeah, he does literally accuse
him of being a pedalle well, yes, yeah, so that.
Speaker 7: Might cross that line.
Speaker 6: This a little bit further than the general dis track, right,
although I mean, at this point it's run how many Grammys?
Speaker 7: How many awards?
Speaker 1: Is the song one?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 7: Yeah, she's the guy's even gotta freakin what is it?
He's got something crazy?
Speaker 13: Is it.
Speaker 7: Not a Peace Prize or is it Pulitzer Pulitzer?
Speaker 5: Does he? Yeah, well, I got I got.
Speaker 6: Something that was like never been done before and rap
for this song. He has won so many awards for
this song it's crazy.
Speaker 5: Well not only that, but this just happened. The BBC
is reporting Kendrick Lamar earns first UK number one with
Not Like Us. So it's now it's his first number
one in the UK.
Speaker 6: And people are doing like TikTok dances and stuff, and
they're doing like Serena's dance. It's just crazy to watch
the videos, Absolutely crazy to watch the video. I wonder
if that family that you guys played last night did
it the Mother and Son the Mother and Son cover.
Speaker 5: Oh from Yeah, I don't remember what they from Retrospectrum ra.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Mariam was looking him up and it was really
interesting to see the mix their old and news style.
Speaker 7: I wonder if they've done that song, but a lot
of people do it it now.
Speaker 5: I've been a Kendrick Lamar fan for a long time. Yeah,
I like him the only uh because I remember when
we used to be on weekly afternoons during Black History Month.
I would play some of his tracks, which it is
right now February. But I've as far as Drake, and
I have nothing against Drake, but I don't dislike Drake.
But the only the only track by Drake I can
think of that I really like. It came out like
what maybe five six years ago?
Speaker 10: Uh?
Speaker 5: Nice for what I and I played that on the
show once too. I don't remember why.
Speaker 7: That never play. It's for me that song has been played.
Speaker 5: It's so catchy though, very very catchy. Great bo I
got you.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 6: No, I've never been a Drake fan all that much myself,
and never really followed Kendrick all that much, but I yeah,
I love this song.
Speaker 7: Actually, I loved the entire metally. Everything that they did
was really great.
Speaker 6: I liked the slowdown part and having her come out,
and I really felt like everything they did was very
well done, very tight, excellent.
Speaker 7: Performance and see any issues?
Speaker 6: And boy, can we just say the Super Bowl show
has had so many issues over the years, but I
think they're now saying like this is the most watched one.
He's beat everybody on the most watched super Bowl performance
in history. Oh, the viewership is insane, absolutely insane. But
if you really want to laugh, you got to watch
some of these reaction videos of people watching it. Snoop
Dogg did one. There's a reaction video Snoop Dogg watching
it live. Oh yeah, well yeah, they're from the same
area to supporting each other.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's fun.
Speaker 5: No, So yeah, I'm still it'll be interesting now to see.
Speaker 7: If what happens with the lawsuit, right, yeah, well.
Speaker 5: I'm also curious who like what happens with this beef
because it seems like this is, like, to put it
in wrestling terms, this was the WrestleMania main event between them,
you know what I mean? Like this was yeah, because
I don't see how Drake recovers. I don't see how
Drake recovers. Yeah, to me, this was the finally ail
in the coffin.
Speaker 6: I agree, I agree, I mean I don't see how
he could possibly talk us.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. If there's another example that I'm
not thinking of. If somebody performing, especially a disc track
at the super Bowl halftime show and they have it.
Speaker 7: Goes so viral, Yeah, I don't know, the most viewed ever.
Speaker 5: I don't know how you talk that.
Speaker 6: Still going crazy around the world won a bunch of
different awards. He's won a bunch of awards for it. Yeah,
huge amount of awards for it. There's just no recovering
from this. I'm sorry. Yeah, just put it to bed,
leave it alone.
Speaker 14: Move on.
Speaker 7: That's what Drake should do.
Speaker 5: Just just let let it go, move on.
Speaker 6: Thing good could come from him keeping it in the
light and suing him. All he's gonna do is keep
the attention on. He's better off letting it go, walking
away cut his losses.
Speaker 5: Well, But can't he do that? Or does that look
even worse if he if he walks away now, I
mean now he's now he's gonna no win situation. I mean,
he looks like a bee for filing the lawsuit, But
won't he also looked like a bee for if he
just drops it and walks away. Won't that look like
he's conceding, like he's just uh uh surrendering. Maybe he should, though, yeah,
I don't.
Speaker 6: Sometimes you gotta cut your losses, accept your loss and
move on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know how. I don't know what else
he can do, you know, unless he finds a way
to make peace with with Kendrick.
Speaker 7: But I don't know. That's not gonna happen. No way
that's gonna happen now, Yeah, not after this, I don't know.
I mean, and then SNL picks up on it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, they left out Drake's name, but they left in
all the other words.
Speaker 5: You know, it can't happen though, I mean, people didn't
think that jay Z and os whatever. I mean that
that got pretty pretty vicious with the distracts back and forth.
What's that not this level?
Speaker 7: Well, not like it's walking around with statues because of it,
I don't think.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think anyone performed ether at the super Bowl,
but on your own, no, iophile I know, Yeah, there's
really no reason for for them to make peace.
Speaker 7: I guess I don't see it happening.
Speaker 5: Oh hello to uh Tom Sirahcusa of course if Syracusa.
Sorry Tom, I'm never sure how to say your last
name from Day to Attend?
Speaker 15: Uh?
Speaker 5: By the way, their name came up again last week
on the show when Ricky Mapleton was here and he
mentioned he was at that show at the Aura in Portland,
seen Day to Attend open for Ace Frehley, and had
wonderful things to say about Day to Attend. However, Ricky
Mapleton did not have wonderful things to say about Ace Fraley,
necessarily because apparently Ace took a sweet time getting to
the stage.
Speaker 7: But oh yeah, didn't they say? It was like was
it three hours?
Speaker 4: It was an hour?
Speaker 5: It was like midnight by the time he said the stage.
But yeah, Tom says, good money and rivalries. Yeah, well
that's true. That's the thing though about about any kind
of beef, whether it's whether it's in hip hop or
whether it's podcasters and radio hosts beefing with each other,
you know, it does. It does get a lot of
attention and publicity. It does generate interest. You know, if
you think about if you kind of pull back and
think of it this way, would either Kendrick Lamar or
Drake be As Let me put it this way, take
the beef out of it. We wouldn't probably be having
I mean, woul Kendrick Lamar even have been had the
opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl because.
Speaker 7: Not necessarily because I don't know, Oh, I mean, I
don't know.
Speaker 6: I mean not that he wasn't popular, but this particular
song has really changed his world.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's but in a broader context.
Speaker 7: I mean what you know, but he's hit Drake before
another song.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, they both have. They both
have back and forth quite a bit. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Was it there a period of time when they were
almost doing it daily, like they were coming out with
songs back to back against each other.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this isn't recent. This has been going on for
a decade. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Then they peel off the scab and do it all
over again.
Speaker 3: But but there is good, you know it.
Speaker 5: And the thing is too, if you play it right,
everyone kind of benefits in the sense that everyone everyone
involved benefits from the the interest that is generated.
Speaker 7: People are looking Drake up too, so you've got to
be getting some some benefit on.
Speaker 5: Of it that way, right, right way, And people who
like Drake better, especially in Canada because Drake is Canadian.
I'm sure there's a lot of Canadians who are mad
at Kendrick.
Speaker 7: I didn't realize he was Canadian.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he lives in Toronto.
Speaker 7: So does it become a Canadian American thing because that's
going on?
Speaker 5: Oh maybe maybe, I don't know.
Speaker 7: I do want to be I know we're going to
be moving on a little bit.
Speaker 6: And I did want to make one mention of some
other thing going on in the city, and that is
at the Mosaic Art Collective. Right now, they have an
art call open and the deadline has been extended until
the twenty eighth.
Speaker 7: This is about animation, This is about stop motion. This
is about things that move. So if you do things
that have.
Speaker 6: Like interactive elements or movable parts, or you know, things
of that kind of a fluidity to it, if you
will go check out the Mosaic Art Collective. There's some
information on Facebook I can see here about it, and
consider entering the art call. It's only ten dollars to enter.
You can interrupted four pieces and it don't let money
be a barrier for any reason. There are scholarships available
for artists who want to enter, and you just might
find yourself on the next show. So definitely check that out.
I'm excited to see what that one's going to look like.
I get a kick out of things.
Speaker 14: That move like that.
Speaker 6: Miriam made a piece like that once for puddles. For Puddles,
Pity Party, the singing clown he has this thing he
doesn't he used to do on stage where he would
fall off these stools, and she literally made a thing
of puddles following off the stool that you could turn
the crank the handle and he would fall over and
nothing was more fun than watching puddles play with it.
Speaker 7: So this is that kind of thing.
Speaker 6: Things that move, things that have, you know, some kind
of motion to them, or animation to them, or stop
motion to them, something along those lines. You're not quite sure,
just check out the mosaic Are Collective, contact them and
they'll help you enter the show.
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, very good. By the way, Tom in the
chat room from day to attend says, remember the early
two thousand Super Bowl Aerosmith Brittany and saying Mary J. Blige,
no best halftime shows ever, No drama. Well, well, Janet Jackson,
there was drama.
Speaker 7: Drama and they really went after her and it wasn't
her fault.
Speaker 5: I'm still not There were so many different explanations about
what was really going on there, like fin.
Speaker 7: He got poop pooed all over and he's the one
that ripped it off of her.
Speaker 5: So but that one moment, though had But Lewis Black
had the best take on it when when he said, uh,
you know, we love Lewis Black the comedian. When he said, uh,
he watched, well, I have to I have to edit
how I say it, but he just it's funny when
it's not gonna be funny when I say it. I
don't have his delivery. But when he said, you know,
he talks about watch his country lose its collective mind
over over over that that the Janet Jackson incident at
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 7: Look at the world today.
Speaker 5: But that had all of a sudden you know who
who that had a surprising effect on was the radio industry,
even though it had nothing to do with radio, because
all of a sudden, so that happens, people are losing
their minds, as Lewis Black put it, and people were
losing their minds.
Speaker 7: So they literally stood on the stage and stripped naked.
Speaker 5: Well and then so and then you know there's these
questions about while is the FCC going to find whoever
in the Super Bowl lawyer and and all that and
all this stuff, and but all of a sudden things
got much much more uptight at radio.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and it was just I mean, they were taking
it out on her as if she had, you know,
jumped on the stage and intentionally stripped herself.
Speaker 7: She was mortified, horrified.
Speaker 5: But all of a sudden, the back splash from that though,
it splashed onto onto radio shows like like Howard and
and Opie and Anthony, and all of a sudden they're
all being told, you know, whether it was by an
Imus too, whether it was by CBS Radio or or
Infinity Broadcasting or whoever. All of a sudden, the executives
are telling them, whoa the FCC is really you know,
looking at everybody now, not just you know, not just
again whoever was carrying the Super Bowl that year. They're
looking at everybody, so we need to tighten up.
Speaker 15: It was.
Speaker 5: It was weird, the chilling effect that it had on
talk radio, which had nothing to do with what happened.
Speaker 7: Well, no, this was no not Reagan goreip her.
Speaker 5: Well, no, that was the you're you're thinking of the eighties,
Tipper Gore and the pm R c.
Speaker 4: No, this was this.
Speaker 5: I don't know why. I don't know why this happened
when it did. It was just strange. I mean, it's
one thing for people to be concerned. And look, I
under I do understand. I don't have any kids, but
I understand if you're sitting there with your your kid
and all of a sudden you see this and you know,
you got to explain it. And I don't know, but
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 7: Well, my kid was young. I was more worried about
him seeing somebody's head get chopped off.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 7: Violence Like nobody it's all about how you teach a kid.
Speaker 5: Nobody right, nobody ever, because nobody ever worries about, you know,
their kids being exposed to violence constant.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I mean I worked in medicine. Well I believed in
teaching anatomy.
Speaker 5: But but but but just but the way it affected
the radio industry was very, very strange. And you know,
because that was the era, you know, especially the early
to mid two thousands or even into the late two thousands.
But I mean that was kind of the era of
the shock jock, which has now become sort of an
an arcade and outdated term. Uh, and shock jocks are
kind of considered dinosaurs now, but but it had it
really kind of shut down the shock jocks all of
a sudden, this this moral panic over what happened at
the super Bowl that affected things not related to the
super Bowl halftime show. It was very, very strange. Well,
we're gonna wrap up this segment with I think we're
going to play a Day to Attend song because our
friend Tom is in the chat room and we love
Day to Attend. And let's see, I'm not gonna play
not Coming Back because we've played that one a lot.
I think we should go. Oh, I think we should
go with Gaslight Game Show. Let's play that. Let's play
that because I don't think we've played that one recently.
And coming up at the top of the hour, we've
got the world radio premiere, I'm sorry, the American radio premiere,
let me be precise of the new track from UK
artist John Denton. And then from there we're going to
go into We've got Sean Manchester who is already in
the building, a great singer songwriter who's also going to
be joining us in the second hour. So we have
lots coming up. We have lots lots to go here
on Matt Connorton Unleashed on this Saturday morning. I hope
you are warm wherever you are, whether you're in Manchester
or somewhere else. If you are in Manchester, take solace
in the fact that I was saying to Jenny earlier.
By the time we leave here at the end of
the show today, this afternoon, it's going to be like
in the mid thirties, so that's going to feel downright balmy.
And then next week it's supposed to be in the forties,
which is going to feel like summer. So really looking
forward to that. But there's lots to come today on
the show, so stick around. But right now, here's a
gaslight game show the radio edit of course from day
to attend check it out.
