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.
Speaker 5: 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.
Speaker 5: 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.
Speaker 5: 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.
Speaker 5: But this is the American radio premiere of Warmongers by jan Mond, running.

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.
Speaker 5: 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.
Speaker 5: 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.
Speaker 5: 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.
Speaker 6: 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.

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.
Speaker 5: 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
Speaker 7: 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.
Speaker 5: 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.
Speaker 5: 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?
Speaker 5: 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.
Speaker 5: 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?
Speaker 5: 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.
Speaker 5: 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.
Speaker 6: 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.
Speaker 5: 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.
Speaker 5: 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.
Speaker 5: 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.
