Speaker 2: I love it. That is who wins. That is Joe
Speaker 2: Wibble and John Clay their new collaboration, Automated Paradise. And
Speaker 2: this is Matt Connorton Unleashed, and it is a live
Speaker 2: radio show. And sometimes things don't go quite as planned.
Speaker 2: We're having a little trouble getting joh Wobble on the
Speaker 2: line with us. He's gonna be joining us via whatsapper
Speaker 2: is supposed to be, but he is in the UK,
Speaker 2: so maybe time zones got confused, and so forth. It happens.
Speaker 2: It doesn't happen often, but it does happen. So I'm
Speaker 2: gonna play another track from We're Gonna Try One more time.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play one more track from Automated Paradise. I
Speaker 2: love the whole album. It is on band camp check
Speaker 2: it out, or of course, on your streaming service of choice.
Speaker 2: But I'm a big propriet not a proprietor, but a proponent.
Speaker 2: I wish I were a proprietor. I'd probably be very wealthy.
Speaker 2: I'm a proponent of band camp because you get a
Speaker 2: really high quality file if you purchase music on band Camp,
Speaker 2: much higher quality than say, if you're just streaming it
Speaker 2: on YouTube or wherever. So I love band camp. But
Speaker 2: we're gonna play one more from the album Automated Paradise again.
Speaker 2: It's joh Wobble and John Klein, their newest collaboration and
Speaker 2: very topical. If you didn't notice from what you've heard
Speaker 2: so far, We're gonna play one more. We're gonna try
Speaker 2: to get joh Wobble on the line with us one
Speaker 2: more time, and if not, we'll move on. We do
Speaker 2: have a great show ahead of us, but this one

Speaker 9: Going to.
Speaker 2: Okas that is make it stop. That is from joh
Speaker 2: Wobble's new collaboration with John Klein called Automated Paradise. And
Speaker 2: we were supposed to have joh Wobble with us this morning,
Speaker 2: but unfortunately, uh, something has gone awry. We've we've been
Speaker 2: trying to call him via WhatsApp and he has not
Speaker 2: picked up. Uh, so we're gonna have to move on
Speaker 2: with the show, obviously, But I hope everything's okay with him.
Speaker 2: But you know, I was looking forward to talking with him.
Speaker 2: But you know, like I said, I don't I don't
Speaker 2: make any judgments until and someone's ringing our doorbell. Wow,
Speaker 2: someone must need some bus tickets. But uh, anyway, I
Speaker 2: don't make any I don't make any judgments about you know,
Speaker 2: if somebody doesn't make it, because for all we know,
Speaker 2: something horrible could have happened. So we will go on
Speaker 2: with the show. Uh, we do have a great show
Speaker 2: for you today. And there's always things happening too in
Speaker 2: music news.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 2: This is from Digitalmusicnews dot com. Following Cox versus Sony decision,
Speaker 2: both cases voluntarily dismissed with prejudice. It says here just
Speaker 2: like that at least two music industry infringement lawsuits against
Speaker 2: Internet service providers Verizon and Altis USA have drawn to
Speaker 2: an abrupt close following the Supreme Courts Cox versus Sony decision.
Speaker 2: We've been covering those copyright complaints plus multiple others filed
Speaker 2: against ISPs for years now. Spearheaded by Warner Brothers Music
Speaker 2: and Sony Music. The Altis case set sale in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three and accuse the company of failing to adequately
Speaker 2: address subscriber's alleged repeat infringement. Now, the reason we're talking
Speaker 2: about this, and there's obviously much more to this article,
Speaker 2: but the reason we've been talking about this on the show.
Speaker 2: Is one of the things that has been happening in
Speaker 2: the music industry is there's this idea that if you
Speaker 2: are an Internet service provider in ISP and people are
Speaker 2: using your service, your internet service, to do things that
Speaker 2: are theoretically illegal. I say theoretically because there's some disagreement
Speaker 2: about I mean, you know, file sharing and what is
Speaker 2: you know, what is illegal or legal or what is wrong,
Speaker 2: you know, the ethics of it, and and so forth.
Speaker 2: If you're downloading pirated music, allegedly pirated music, there's this
Speaker 2: idea that these Internet service providers should somehow be held
Speaker 2: responsible for that. And you've had major labels like Sony
Speaker 2: and Universal Music Group suing these Internet service providers, and
Speaker 2: in a recent landmark decision that well, basically there was
Speaker 2: a court that actually found in favor of these companies
Speaker 2: that were suing Cox Communications in this case, the internet
Speaker 2: service provider who was named in the lawsuit and was
Speaker 2: a target of this lawsuit, and they actually won. They
Speaker 2: beat Cox Communications, so they were owed this award. But
Speaker 2: then it went all the way to the Supreme Court
Speaker 2: and the Supreme Court and again, you know, we don't
Speaker 2: do politics on this iteration of the show. But we
Speaker 2: have a Supreme Court in this era that I might
Speaker 2: disagree with more often than not, But in this case,
Speaker 2: I think they got it right because I don't think
Speaker 2: it's reasonable for I don't think it's reasonable for these
Speaker 2: internet service providers to be held responsible for little thing
Speaker 2: that they do. By the way, before we go any further.
Speaker 9: I have some news.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just dis messaging you. I think I think
Speaker 2: we I think we have Josh. We've got him. Oh,
Speaker 2: let me bring this up. Job is that you?
Speaker 8: Yes?
Speaker 9: Sorry about that. You know, I've got my phone on,
Speaker 9: got my headphones on. Ready, And then I say, miss Cole,
Speaker 9: I've not got on anyway? Are you great?
Speaker 2: Great? No, It's wonderful to have you. I'm excited that
Speaker 2: you're here. I love the I love the album.
Speaker 15: Uh.
Speaker 2: You know, I listen to the whole thing. It's it's
Speaker 2: absolutely excellent, and you know it's it's very interesting, it's
Speaker 2: very very topical obviously. And can you tell us about
Speaker 2: about this collaboration with John Klein.
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 2: We played Uh, I'll tell you what we played from
Speaker 2: it so far this morning. Uh, this collaboration automated Paradise.
Speaker 2: We played Fading Away, who wins and make it stop.
Speaker 2: And I told our audience, I said, make sure you're
Speaker 2: paying attention to the lyrics of this because, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: these guys are saying a lot. But can you tell
Speaker 2: us about this project, this release Automated Paradise and and
Speaker 2: what the theme of it is?
Speaker 9: Well, dystopia is the theme. I suppose the world Samsara
Speaker 9: is really heating up and everything's pretty crazy now, isn't it.
Speaker 9: There isn't any sense of that you can take refuge
Speaker 9: anywhere in this world and find peace. Everywhere is troubled,
Speaker 9: it seems, you know. So we had that time in
Speaker 9: the studio. Me and John. I started a community project
Speaker 9: for music in an auth of England quite a few
Speaker 9: years years ago. Okay, moved it to London where a
Speaker 9: very good friend of mine is involved with a local
Speaker 9: council and he's very good friends with John and I met.
Speaker 9: I met John fluss All actually doing a He came
Speaker 9: to video a show that we did. He's a very
Speaker 9: good video maker, John, I've got all the qualifications. E
Speaker 9: makes corporate video sometimes that kind of stuff. So we met,
Speaker 9: we became friends, started working on a community project, built
Speaker 9: a studio, so we have lots of times together to
Speaker 9: record and hang out, and we get on very well.
Speaker 9: We did first the first thing we did together like that,
Speaker 9: I think was metal Box Rebuilt in Duba, and that
Speaker 9: worked really well, and we've just continued and this we
Speaker 9: had some dead time. Every time we had some dead time,
Speaker 9: there was a decent drummer about, and that actually makes
Speaker 9: a huge difference, you know, to a session. Just having
Speaker 9: my son was was around on one occasion. Then we
Speaker 9: had this Japanese gil with Zumi was around on another occasion,
Speaker 9: and a really modest Italian guy called Gilberto, and just
Speaker 9: having a real drum, not spectacular, not tribes spectActor, just
Speaker 9: just a good drive. It gives it a bit of
Speaker 9: air to begin with, so you have a bit of
Speaker 9: a real vibe. You can't you haven't got the options
Speaker 9: to go and change because it is what it is.
Speaker 9: And I just felt, this is what it is. This
Speaker 9: is in the moment for once, let's look at the
Speaker 9: external world rather than the inner world to find in
Speaker 9: a lights or something, which is actually the sensible thing
Speaker 9: to do and write about how crazy things are. And
Speaker 9: it's very easy actually for me to write about how
Speaker 9: crazy things are and not offer a solutions id the
Speaker 9: one you know, I wish I could. Well, the only
Speaker 9: thing else would be turn inside. There's no refuge in
Speaker 9: the outer world matters of an insane time that we're
Speaker 9: living in. You know, so much information. I find it
Speaker 9: hard to read a book.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 9: I can read a book, but I find it difficult
Speaker 9: to sit down and allow my mind to settle in
Speaker 9: a calm fashion because they're so used to fragmented information
Speaker 9: coming at me from a bloody telephone. You're not.
Speaker 2: I think that's part of what I really enjoy about
Speaker 2: the album and what I'm sure that people who listen
Speaker 2: to it, one of the things that they relate to
Speaker 2: is well that it is so relatable because so many
Speaker 2: people feel that way the way that you just described it.
Speaker 2: And that's interesting. What you said too about reading a book.
Speaker 2: You know, even that can be difficult because how do
Speaker 2: you calm your mind and not think about everything else
Speaker 2: is going on in the world. And you also mentioned too,
Speaker 2: we have more access you know, for better or worse.
Speaker 2: We have more access to information more quickly than ever before.
Speaker 2: And you don't even know if the information that you're
Speaker 2: accessing is correct or not. And you know, with the
Speaker 2: rise of AI and deep fakes and all of it,
Speaker 2: and it's and I think that I think the album
Speaker 2: really kind of speaks to that sense of overwhelm. And
Speaker 2: as you mentioned too, you know, there's no there's no
Speaker 2: solutions necessarily offered, because what is what is the solution?
Speaker 2: I don't know, and it doesn't sound like you do either.
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone really does necessarily other than to
Speaker 2: just try to unplug from it all. But that's that's
Speaker 2: pretty challenging in this world in which we live.
Speaker 9: Well, I mean you just what you did. There is
Speaker 9: might a build up for me to Buddhism, actually, which
Speaker 9: is I mean, all the religions have something to offer.
Speaker 9: The biggest religion of our time is materialist atheism of colts.
Speaker 9: That's the actually the biggest religion. People between to it
Speaker 9: with not a huge amount of information, but clean desperately
Speaker 9: that there's there's nothing.
Speaker 2: Right, not.
Speaker 9: You know, in a nihilistic kind of way, you could say.
Speaker 9: But I think with Buddhism, you know, Buddhism actually teaches
Speaker 9: that Samsarah. All the stuff we're talking about, this external manifestation,
Speaker 9: how we perceive things. We in fact, we make this world,
Speaker 9: We interact with it, we make it so the only Buddhism,
Speaker 9: the first one all phenomena lacking here in existence, a
Speaker 9: second phenomena that they're in permanent, permanent. And thirdly, all
Speaker 9: condition phenomena are suffering because we suffer because we cling
Speaker 9: onto things thinking that they're definite and they're real when
Speaker 9: they're stable. When they're not, nothing is right. The world
Speaker 9: is constructed real concepts of nirvana, so that once once
Speaker 9: you go beyond that, once you see beyond that, you're
Speaker 9: you're in pain. So price is possible, I think, actually,
Speaker 9: but it's not a prostatizing record. It's a record where
Speaker 9: I love the negativity and the craziness and enjoy pointing
Speaker 9: fingers and and and and being being an angry man.
Speaker 9: I'm enjoyed it.
Speaker 8: Role.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think who wins especially, uh really kind of
Speaker 2: connected with me because you asked, you know, you asked
Speaker 2: the question, Well, you know, we have these people who
Speaker 2: are in power, these politicians and whomever. But but in
Speaker 2: the end, who wins? And of course we know who wins.
Speaker 2: The only ones who really win are the people in power,
Speaker 2: because you know, as they continue to amass more power.
Speaker 2: But I think that distrust and power structures. Again, I
Speaker 2: think it's just very relatable for for people regard regardless
Speaker 2: of where they sat ideologically. I think everyone can connect
Speaker 2: with that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I think a lot of people fed up
Speaker 9: with ideologies.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 9: I was very left wing kind of guy when I
Speaker 9: was younger, and then it's actually so you're left with
Speaker 9: this kind of bare bones ideology, but that roadmap doesn't
Speaker 9: fit anymore in the modern world, so you know. And
Speaker 9: then on the other hand, you have what's called right
Speaker 9: wing kind of nationalistic as well, and if you apply
Speaker 9: it with this country, where very angry at the way
Speaker 9: the country's turning out, and this, that and the other.
Speaker 9: But the very hero that they followed, Margaret Thatcher, was
Speaker 9: the person who deregulated everything, attacked the working class, smashed
Speaker 9: the unions, sold, made sure everything council houses, what you
Speaker 9: call projects in America could be sold off, and we
Speaker 9: sold our utility works so become everything was as probably
Speaker 9: as privatized as America. The public basically you probably you know,
Speaker 9: just about as privatized as America. And of course people
Speaker 9: at the time make a little bit of money. A
Speaker 9: lot of people were able to own their own home
Speaker 9: and all that. But Eventually, of course, it catches up
Speaker 9: with you and the rich get the richer get much
Speaker 9: much richer, seems to be the demographic, you know, and
Speaker 9: the poorer get really put in the middle class. It's
Speaker 9: not even the American middle class is very squeezed now financially,
Speaker 9: is it. You know so, And of course, you know,
Speaker 9: there's one a lot of the world leaders now remind
Speaker 9: me of that comic book film Sin City. You know,
Speaker 9: they're sort of you know, you look at all of them,
Speaker 9: they all they're all they're all kind of parodies. They're
Speaker 9: that bad, you know, they're all parodies.
Speaker 2: You know, well, certainly, I mean when you look at
Speaker 2: American politics, it's especially easy, too easy to see that,
Speaker 2: you know that they're they've become caricatures of of what
Speaker 2: what I thought a politician was growing up. It's it's
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, I remember coming across one or two labor
Speaker 9: So that's the rough approximate of the Democrat Party in America.
Speaker 9: And of course I always grew up. I grew up
Speaker 9: in a very very left wing area, very left wing,
Speaker 9: and you had you probably had to wade of votes
Speaker 9: rather than count them. It was it was hardly anybody
Speaker 9: voted voted for the other parties. It was all labor
Speaker 9: and you look at those guys from the Labor Party,
Speaker 9: but even some for the Conservative They'd seen the horrors
Speaker 9: of the depression, the terrible, terrible poverty and what they
Speaker 9: did to people, breaking families up, terrible things happening, and
Speaker 9: they and they'd seen the horrors of the Second World War,
Speaker 9: so they really had a municipal they had a thing
Speaker 9: in them that really wanted to put something back in
Speaker 9: and make a better society. At the end of the war,
Speaker 9: Churchill would have been the big war time leader here
Speaker 9: was heavily defeated, and the Labor Party, the Socialist Party
Speaker 9: got in, you know, because people just wanted to change
Speaker 9: at that point. You know, when you compare the politicians
Speaker 9: we have now the politicians then they come up very
Speaker 9: very short because a lot of politicians were either on
Speaker 9: a big level or a lower level, are just kind
Speaker 9: of hustlers. Politics is a hustle. Obviously, we know that.
Speaker 9: You know, America, America talks, you know, so it's pretty ugly.
Speaker 9: But the more of us, it's kind of nice, I
Speaker 9: think to put a voice into well, say yeah, if
Speaker 9: there's any message in the record, it's like, yeah, this
Speaker 9: is all it's too shall pass it too? Shell pass
Speaker 9: one way or the other. It will pass, you know, right.
Speaker 2: Well, assuming it doesn't continue to just get worse with
Speaker 2: each generation. I don't know.
Speaker 9: I mean, you know, everything's everything cycles. You have relative
Speaker 9: you have relative levels of peace, where every with with
Speaker 9: the Cold War, everything felt very static. There were literal
Speaker 9: walls in place. You had the Soviet system, you had
Speaker 9: the Western system, and then the China was always this
Speaker 9: flow of scury place. You know, that even clashed with
Speaker 9: Soviet Russia. So you had three kind of you know,
Speaker 9: world power, but the two made well ours obviously Soviet
Speaker 9: Russia and the West America and the West. And now,
Speaker 9: of course that's all with Trump's attitudes of beauty, that's
Speaker 9: all breaking down, the NATO alliances severely weakened, and everything
Speaker 9: kills in a state of flux. But you're still essentially
Speaker 9: you're dinner with constructs and ideas in your head of
Speaker 9: how the world is. You know, when the Romans invaded
Speaker 9: Britain and eventually all the rebellions kind of died down,
Speaker 9: there was a long period of relative peace until until
Speaker 9: you know, the Roman Empire started to fall. The barbarians
Speaker 9: got in through the gate, so to speak, and normally
Speaker 9: the barbarians I think were invited in actually to some
Speaker 9: extent in history, right, the thing itself have a cell
Speaker 9: by date and wants a change. Does that make sense?
Speaker 8: You know?
Speaker 9: And the West has been going for I think you
Speaker 9: get two hundred and fifty three hundred years of these civilizations,
Speaker 9: Chinese dynasties, they all fall. It's how do you fall?
Speaker 9: You know, what do you fall into? You know, Plato's
Speaker 9: with the republic into you know, He's very clear you
Speaker 9: have democracy. Once democracy goes, then you get into plutocracy,
Speaker 9: rich people running the world, and then comes totalitarianism. Well
Speaker 9: it looks a little bit to me like that's how
Speaker 9: we're going right now.
Speaker 2: It does to me as well. Now what is if
Speaker 2: you're just joining us? Of course we're talking to John
Speaker 2: Wobble about his the brand new album, his collaboration with
Speaker 2: John Klein, Automated Paradise, which is just fantastic. I can't
Speaker 2: recommend it enough. What's the touring situation for you? Are
Speaker 2: you are you playing these songs out live or or
Speaker 2: do you plan to?
Speaker 9: I've got a show tonight I'm playing all the time
Speaker 9: Alby of Invaders at Heart. We will play this live
Speaker 9: if there's a if there's a demand, me and John
Speaker 9: will go out and play it, okay, because it's not
Speaker 9: not too difficult to pull off. We may made an
Speaker 9: album a couple of years ago called Last x In
Speaker 9: and we were dreading being asked to play that live.
Speaker 9: In fact, it's called a Brief History of Now, A
Speaker 9: Brief History Now. We dreaded that because it was quite
Speaker 9: involved the production, whereas this is eminently doable, you know,
Speaker 9: so if there's a demand, will go out and do it.
Speaker 9: But yeah, I'm planned tonight. I've got a gig tonight.
Speaker 9: It's lovely day year, lovely spring day, very warm. I
Speaker 9: will I'm playing shows all the time. Was in America
Speaker 9: a couple of years ago. Twenty twenty four was the
Speaker 9: last time we toured. You know, traveling is now getting
Speaker 9: kind of difficult, you know, one word, even going into
Speaker 9: Europe because you have to have a customs again because
Speaker 9: of Brexit, which was ridiculous. Yes, but even the last
Speaker 9: time in Belgium, we get there and we find out
Speaker 9: we need a go box. If you've got a commercial
Speaker 9: sized vehicle, it's not that big a bus commercial side record.
Speaker 9: You have to have a go box to allow you
Speaker 9: to go on the highways in Belgium, and that means
Speaker 9: you have to have the log book, ownership, registration of
Speaker 9: the van, the insurance details, everything you know, all the
Speaker 9: engine number, the works. Oh wow, I come out to
Speaker 9: join the tour manager, who's a very good tour manager,
Speaker 9: who's just on the verge of tiers. For the frustration
Speaker 9: of this, you know, so everything you know traveling, everything
Speaker 9: gets more and more. The eurocracy gets worse. Traveling becomes
Speaker 9: more of a vassal. Whereas in the nineties with Brexit,
Speaker 9: we had open borders in Europe and you felt you
Speaker 9: could travel. At one time before ninety eleven, I had
Speaker 9: an in definite visa for America. You know, it's incredible,
Speaker 9: and that the border some guy or at the MT
Speaker 9: eight it's jammed. You go into America a lot of times,
Speaker 9: you never make any trouble. Is we're going to give
Speaker 9: you a multipoint. Can you imagine multiple indefinite visa? You know,
Speaker 9: And when I was living in in North of England
Speaker 9: and I would run, I'd get to the airport fifteen
Speaker 9: minutes before the plane left and they'd play to the
Speaker 9: eighth the flight to British Airways, the flight to Heathro's
Speaker 9: not left you if you want to get that, yes please,
Speaker 9: we'll call the gate tell them to hold. You know,
Speaker 9: it was incredible and you zoomed down to London really fast.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 9: Now obviously we know lying is not right, you know.
Speaker 9: And and I was lucky enough to use Spirit Airlines
Speaker 9: when I was in America and that was was like right.
Speaker 9: I thought Ryan air was hard, Yeah, Spirit Spirit Airlines
Speaker 9: was wow. Oh good, this is budget flying was It
Speaker 9: was quite memorable, more than.
Speaker 2: You know, no doubt, no doubt. Well, Joe Wibble, it's
Speaker 2: wonderful talking with you. I'm glad. I'm glad you're able
Speaker 2: to join us this morning. We should definitely do this
Speaker 2: again in the future. But again, I love the album
Speaker 2: Automated Paradise. Are you do you have any anything else
Speaker 2: in the works with John Klein? I know you've always
Speaker 2: got a lot going on, but are you guys going
Speaker 2: to continue to work together?
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I'm absolutely certain. Well we get on. We
Speaker 9: have fun. Oh, I mean, hey, every week were recording
Speaker 9: because we run this community venture called Tuned in. So
Speaker 9: we're we're running stuff all the time. Uh re called
Speaker 9: in every every other Tuesday, we have sessions for people coming.

Speaker 2: back and we, you know, would love to have you
Speaker 2: back soon. Definitely. And h where where's the best place
Speaker 2: to go online to keep up with everything that you're doing.
Speaker 9: Josh, I've got oh, I've got a band campage, I've
Speaker 9: got a website. Like a lot of people, I don't
Speaker 9: ever update it. It's terrible. Social media kind of took over. Yeah,
Speaker 9: so you know, sort of the combined social media kind
Speaker 9: of becomes a website, but I'm a real job obble
Speaker 9: on Twitter. I've got a Facebook, a Facebook page, so
Speaker 9: that's probably the best bang camp band camp page as well.

Speaker 9: if you check out start me up, you'd have a
Speaker 9: good laugh. I will.
Speaker 2: I am going to check that out. I'm very, very curious.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about, uh, I do want to play
Speaker 2: one more track At the end of our conversation today,
Speaker 2: I was thinking about playing terminal, terminal the end, what
Speaker 2: do you think?
Speaker 9: Swearing at the swearing at the very end at the end,
Speaker 9: I used the F word. I'm not I'm not proud
Speaker 9: of myself.
Speaker 2: I bet I gotta I gotta avoid that one that
Speaker 2: it's FM American radio. What about read between the lines
Speaker 2: like that one a lot too? Did I play that one?
Speaker 9: HB I was earlier, Yeah, I was earlier Doctor of HBO.
Speaker 9: It's a kind of piano kind of tribute to HBO,
Speaker 9: which I love. I live in an HBO world. Was
Speaker 9: the earlier Doctor of HBO, remember oz, I think was
Speaker 9: the first? Yes, the old production. I love American TV.
Speaker 9: I watched up the American literature. That's kind of what

Speaker 2: called a read between the line.
Speaker 9: Gray morning, likely Venetian blinds. Every conversation leads me wondering
Speaker 9: read between the lines. My friends all have secrets they're
Speaker 9: desperate to hide open. In this post problem world, we
Speaker 9: just let it right. The tension builds you of every scene,
Speaker 9: everyone's flawed, nothing says, it seems. Living in my HBO
Speaker 9: reality where all my relationships come with gravity, facing moral
Speaker 9: dilemmas constantly. Sometimes I float above the drama, way down below,
Speaker 9: levitated past of problems I just don't want to know.
Speaker 9: The camera follows as I saw across the sky, just
Speaker 9: another surreal moment. As I fly so high, then our eyes.
