Yo, that shit is insane, man. It's hard to believe that that was recorded by teenagers recorded by teenagers and they were teenagers when they
recorded it. So that, that's uh that's fiasco and we are imposed
This is Derek Evers with the imposed Bieber side. Boo Bauer, better known as Imposes radio show on Newtown Radio
So I am once again solo if you missed out last week, uh My partner in crime
Chris Robbins pushed out. He uh there was a huge torrential downpour to which he uh he was scared of melting
So he did a little call in last week this week. He actually is on vacation. He's in
he's in Virginia home of uh cigarettes and racism. So he will not be joining us this week
But we have some very special guests coming up for you. Uh Talk normal is gonna be joining us in about an hour
I told them to come through about seven o'clock. So they're gonna play some cuts off of their new upcoming record and as well as
probably DJ some, some other bands and also hopefully talk with us
I'm going to interview them and see what they've been up to, they're good friends of mine
I've hung out with them many times. So, uh, we should have some interesting conversations anyway
Yeah, I'm going to, uh, so that was fiasco, by the way, that first song I played it was off their native Canadians LP that
we actually put out imposed records. And that song was called Oh You Horny Monster
And, um, yeah, they, they officially announced that they are retiring as a band
not retiring as musicians, but, uh, bass player, Lucian Busse, he is now full time Californian or at least attempting
to be. So it's kind of making it difficult for them to play as a band
And they're just announced some last shows. There may be some other secret surprises that they will be announcing
but it looks like August is going to be the end of their live performances
So I wanted to play that to kind of kick things off
And, uh, and we've got some other other interesting things that, that
that we put up this week mainly. Well, not mainly, but the one that went up today is the Shannon and the Clams premiere the
song Gremlins Crawl, which is the, a side of their seven inch that is available on Voller Records
But yeah, the, the, this is the A side Gremlins Crawl and the b side is White Rabbit
So I figured I'd kick off the second set with them. I'll be back in a few and
uh, in, in a little bit, we'll be here with talk normal. So stay tuned. So
I'm gonna move into a hip hop block mainly because two reasons, first reason being that we are giving away tickets to as a rock
concert at Irving Plaza. So this is a, uh, a promotional plug
if you will. I wish we had a, you know, we need some sort of, some sort of sound effect like promotional plug plug plug
plug. Yeah, or a working phone. As our, as our producer, Colin would like to point out Colin works with Newtown
He is kind of new Town and uh we love Newtown radio
That's another promotional plug. So, yeah, we've got a, a rock. Um we're giving away tickets online
All you need to do is tell us why you deserve to go. You can do that on our
on our and on our Facebook. But we, uh and there's also
I got to get this out of the way because, you know, I'm not gonna bother you with my, my talking in between songs
but there's also a really good article on Impose this week. It was posted
uh I think Friday maybe Thursday. But uh Blake Gillespie, our West Coast editor
senior editor, he uh he wrote a really good article about Odd Future and basically about how the fact that
you know, it would be really easy to write them off as a group that's kind of jumped the shark
you know, everything from, from the, you know, what's their, I'm trying to think of their show on Adult Swim
Um, Loiter Squad, everything from like Adult Swim to just like the ridiculousness of their shows to
you know, the Frank Ocean thing, which is kind of amazing and enough in itself and the fact that it debuted at number two on
Billboard. But, um, just the fact that they've also kind of, at the same time
they're doing all this ridiculousness that might turn some people off. Um, they've been
they've been releasing a lot of really good music. So basically why I'm getting that
that is I'm gonna start off this block with as a rock and a song that I know he has a new album out
but this song speaks to every ounce of as a rock in my being like
if I think of as a rock, this is the song I think about. And after that, I'm gonna go into
um, the music that is in that article that Blake wrote that is all the kind of offshoot
uh, odd future stuff that, you know, is a reason to keep listening
So, anyway, yeah, here's ASAP rock with daylight. Yes. Yes, you do
You do. Yes. In your take your, take your to. So
uh, that was, that was Kanye West Heartless. And, uh, I don't think I would ever play that song if it wasn't for my guests
who are joining me today. Um, talk normal is here with us. I think
I think your mic is on. You wanna say hello? That's Andrea and that's Sarah
And, uh, and, yeah, we, uh, talk normal is a band that I've
I've spent a lot of time with. We, we've shared beds, although not naked
Yeah, that sounds worse than sharing beds. We rotated. Um, yeah, someone always had at least
shorts on and someone was sleeping on the, um, travel lodge. Pull out couch
Always, yes, always stained. I think you guys might need to get just a little close to the mic
Only because I can hear like the couch better than the bed is really good at getting close to the
um, we also were kind of in a haunted one in Scotland
Remember that one? Oh, yes. You, there got locked in the bathroom and the electricity blew
So the only, uh, the only time we ever, ever kind of rubbed heads when
uh, is that the right word is that? But, um, was, uh
was over Andrea's Love of Kanye West. We butted heads and we didn't butt heads
But it was always like, are you cool if I play this? And I'd be like, oh, and then I
you know, I'd have to give in at some point. Well, you were driving and I felt bad but you have the
the end all over the radio or what goes on. Well, just because I was driving but at the same time
you know, it's like I didn't bring anything with me. You guys brought music? I didn't so true
Which I probably shouldn't say that out loud. It's like, you know, I do music stuff but I didn't bring any music for a three
week tour. I don't think it, it, it doesn't really matter anyway
The other reason why I brought it up is because I saw, you did some, you, you, you wrote about 808 on
on Ghetto Blaster. I did and at that time because they asked what our favorite albums were
Sarah was in the process of writing things, but I said, uh Kanye 808 and Heartbreak
Um Yeah, that is uh my favorite album. Uh One of my favorite albums
Yeah. Um I think people would be surprised to know that considering the
the music you guys play. Uh Well, I appreciate, I think we both appreciate lots of things about lots of people
Um uh And I appreciate Kanye very much. Uh If, if you read that you could just read that or
I mean, I, I think he's very bold. I like his songwriting
his structures, his arrangements, that album in particular is very minimal. I like all of his other albums
I could give specific reasons for them. But um that one is very special to me
So, are you, are you a fan of uh his relationship with, with
with the Kardashians? Sarah's following that more. I know they're dating. Um So
yeah. Well, why don't you tell? Ok, I'm gonna do the, the uh the plug if you will
I'm kind of, I'm, I'm, I'm the, the radio people can't see, but I'm kind of
I'm kind of slouching to reach my microphone here. Um Yeah, we do have video so eventually people will see it anyway
I uh why don't you tell us, tell? You know, I know, I know you guys have been working on this record for a long
time, but it's, it's finally seeing the light of day. How long have you guys been working on this album
And, and why don't you actually, why don't you just give us the full plug first? Why don't you say the name and the label
it's coming out on? I guess the plug goes. I, I almost want to adopt like a plug voice but I cannot pull that out
right now. Um The name of the album is Sugar Land. It's coming out on
Yeah, that's your other record, isn't it? It's been a long hot day. The name of the album
That's why we're saying we need, we need some special effects. So for like when it comes to promotions
we can be like promotion. You could have just done like a car crash when I said Sugar Land
which is an amazing album that people should get. Anyway, see there
I'll do the plug. I couldn't get that one. But uh so the new one is also another S word Sunshine um in a label
called Joyful Noise. It's putting out out in America and that'll be in October on October 23rd
So we are looking forward to that. It's, it's basically been, since the last record was released
We have been working on this one. So that was Sugar Land
That was, and that was in um I think that was in 2009
So, so, so the better part of three years, almost, the better part of three years
it's always a new adventure and I know how to do things
Yeah. And you guys, well, I know you guys have been working hard on it. So, and uh is it
are you guys uh what, what are you guys touring at all
Uh We, we've been doing a lot of touring and right now we are home for a little bit at least a couple of months
which is great. Um But around the time of the record, we'll be picking it up again
I'm sure. And uh maybe I should, maybe I should. Yeah, I know I might
I might have to do that drive again. That was, that was for those of you who are just listening and uh just turning in
tuning in and also trying to figure out what the hell I'm talking about. Uh Talk normal
did a three week UK tour with The Wire last November. And
um, I was their driver and that was kind of awesome. I've never driven on the wrong side of the road or
you know, stick shift, you know, on the other hand, and it was, and it was a blast
especially. No. Yes, no. II, I did hit my mirror on a truck but they didn't notice
And that was the first when I first picked up the vehicle. Yeah
I thought it was an omen at first but it, it, everything turned out smooth. So I think what we should do
um, I'm hoping you guys will play a set of whatever you guys want to play
But for now, can we, can we listen to something from the new record? Absolutely
We brought with us Bad Date, uh, which was released maybe, uh
two weeks ago, which I guess on the internet on the interwebs
Let's see if we can, let's see if we can get this, this ipod working
Let me know when I should press play. Why don't you press play? What, what's the song again? Oh, this song's called Bad Date
This is Bad Date. If I talk normal and here it goes, I
like that song. That's a good one. I heard that at least 15 times in November
I think 17 times. Um, you guys played at every show. I think we missed one
because you didn't have the base. Was that the first show I believe in Brighton
No, I think it was in uh Birmingham. That's what I knew
It was the b I was just talking about that with someone because, um
you know, to non sequitur into my day life being a golf enthusiast
um, they just played the British Open at a, a place outside of Liverpool
So it kind of brought up memories of, of, of our trip to Liverpool, but it was in Black Rock
It was like a really down on its luck, you know, indus industrial town that
that still has the golf course there where they play the British Open every, you know, five years or whatever
But, um, but yeah, it's kind of fallen on hard times and it just reminded me of when we were in Birmingham and it was
kind of, it kind of reminded me of, you know, Birmingham kind of reminded me of Brooklyn a little bit
The, the pre gentrified version of whatever the coast of Williamsburg Green point was when it was all factories
Did we play at? HMV in Birmingham? Wasn't, oh, go ahead. Well
I have a, there's a subletter living in my house right now, Polly and she is going to university in Birmingham
And so she was like, where did you play there? And I was really struggling for it. But she said HMV
and, and I was like, I think that's it. Um, and she was super excited
So that was really fun. Isn't that kind of weird that like you know, you go through all these different towns and you get to
London or some place that's huge. And you guys did play actually, I think what was
is considered a live nation venue or something rather large when you guys played with Wire
But then you guys also played like an upset the rhythm show, something more diy
Um, and the bigger the place was the kind of like, more random and cool the venue was
But then you guys did play like the series of like, hmv, like
kind of like huge places as well. Remember the one show with the band from the Sopranos theme song
Oh, yeah, that's like every venue was its own like complex of many venue
Most of them, like there would be some that were smaller than when we were in and some with like even bigger like venues
And yes, what was the name of that band from the Sopranos? Yeah. No
not Alabama Shakes something. And I always think whenever Alabama Shakes is spoken about
I always think of them, but I can't remember. It does have Alabama in the name though
I think it's a number, I think maybe it is Alabama seven
I remember that the Green room was the, the balcony overlooking that show
Remember which that was their, our, that night was probably like the 500 capacity was probably like the 5000 capacity
And so, yeah, our green room was the balcony of their venue which was empty
Although the floor was full. Um, it was, it was, they gave us good food there too
I gotta say they, they, they, they treated us all right. That was, what was that? Manchester
Where was that? I'm getting, I'm getting all of the, all of the
uh, that was the weird one where, oh, and then we went to that after party. We're making this totally personal right now
But we went to that after party. Yes. And we, and like everyone was talking about how
and this is not my words and this is not talk normal's words. But remember everyone kept talking about how slutty the girls in Newcastle
were. Wait, is that when we went to get the cider with everybody
we went to that after party that we had played there right by there before Sarah
And then we went to this after party that a, a band
I can't remember the young, no, it was like something in pop. Like was a young lady was D jing and she was from a
popular band. Yeah. But the, the night was like, yeah, camera obscura was the girl that was D jing
And then, but it was like hosted by like, was it no fear in pop or something from the UK
That has the word pop in it. Well, that's true. That was the one night that we lived
Yeah, we uh yeah, because we were, we were forced to drive to
to travel lodges that may or may not have been very close to the venue. We didn't, we didn't do too many late nights
That one we did though, we lived, I ate a lot of peanut butter
I remember at that show or just in general on the tour when we got home
But referring to your original comment about the girls being slutty, we are not aware of their actual choices in their life
but they do wear skirts shorter than hell. It's the shortest skirts ever
And they're walking around with their beef food man friends. Um It's
it's not a normal sight on the streets of Brooklyn. No, but it is
It did kind of give me the vibe of like bridge and tunnel, you know
I did kind of, yeah, I kind of got that vibe of like, you know, this is what it's like kind of when bridge and
tunnel explodes in the, in the city. It doesn't really happen in Brooklyn too much. I don't know
I remember this more in Liverpool than in Newcastle, but ok, it's kind of becoming a blur
But then also remember Glasgow when we were at the hotel and people of all ages were wasted
Yeah, that's more of a UK thing though. I think the, the drunkenness, we witnessed a lot of that and I'm not trying to stereotype
English and Scottish people as, as drunkards, but I think the reputation precedes them I don't think we need to hammer that point on
Yeah, it's astounding, which is just their normal, the bar is raised too hard
which I don't know how they get out of bed in the morning. We were just talking about this sometimes. Like your friends are drinking
deeply into the night yet they get up for work in the morning and I think that sounds challenging
Well, I don't wanna, I mean, myself, I talk about this often. I am uh I'm of an advanced age these days
So, um my hairline says 27 my waistline says 37. No, we uh we um and
yeah, that's like the first thing. Like, I'll have like four, I'll have like four beers. Andrea is laughing at my gut as we speak
We have, uh, you know, I have like four beers. I, I'll have like four beers and I'm hung over now
you know, and you see these people, it's like a lifestyle for them, you know, I don't know
Maybe they, maybe they have the shakes in the morning that we just don't see. I don't know. I mean
yeah, maybe their morning is something I'm not familiar with. I drank a bottle of wine last night by myself and I went to work
in the morning. Well, I can do a bottle of wine. That's pretty good
Well, well, Andrea is all about the I, I, yeah, I had a lot of saki last night but it wasn't a whole bottle though
So, um, well, Cleaner Hangover, by the way. Yeah. Well, I have to live by the
the liquor before beer. You're in the clear beer before liquor. Never sicker. I really have to do to
to live by that rule. And, and Janet was there when we tried to do a shot of tequila at San Diego during Comic Con
We, we did our shows in San Diego and, uh we all try to do like a
you know, congratulatory shot of tequila. And I wasn't drunk but like it was
it was, you know, well, level and I, I did one of those things where you kind of like cough in the middle of it
and I was like, this is either gonna come out my nose or it's just gonna be bad. So I spit it all back out
you know, like all in one motion it like went in, I went, oh and then just spit it all back out and then I
I still did the shot which was even grows but, you know, I sipped it
I sipped it afterward. Yeah. Yeah. A little bit later when no one was paying attention
Yes. Yes. For, for those of you listening in Janet just quietly said in the background
I didn't know that as if to be grossed out, I was grossed out too after I redid it
I was like, oh, but you know, I didn't want to waste it, you know. Yeah
it was, well, I mean, it's a different story if you're doing something good and I'm not saying that to be snobby
You know, if you're drinking bad liquor, it's gonna taste bad. Going down and feel bad
Yes. Um So I leave this up to you guys. I do have music I could play
But did you guys, did you guys wanna take over the controls for a little bit? Why don't you play one and then we'll get
it together over here. That sounds like a good plan. But now I have to find one
I'm gonna, I'm gonna search, but while we're searching, why don't you tell us
You were mentioning your next show. Your next show is the 30th of August
Is that I was gonna say the 30th, the 30th to refer to my emails because it is hard for me to remember a lot
of things. Hang on. I'm working on it. Ok? But this is a big show for you guys
Oh, yeah, it'll be, it'll be the first time we play at Bowery in Manhattan and that'll be something to look forward to
And we're playing with dear friend and we were just talking about how to pronounce that
How did you say you had the kind of, you've kind of played like when I was saying it
but then both of you said, but so I committed to you
You seem more worldly though. Well, I think Yeah, it might be true
I just, I just, yeah, we, we're, yeah, exactly. I mean, we're
we're lazy. We don't, you know, that's a, it's harder to get that out
I'm just, I'm just scrolling through but it, it, it's August 30th
I'm, I'm almost positive of it. What's this? Oh, God. Do you
do you know when this data, this show us before we say that
Uh, what do you want to talk about? I went to the DMV the other day
I go, well, I finally, uh, I, well, I got my New York license and I thought it wouldn't take very long because I didn't
go to the one in Brooklyn where I was told by someone who went there where it only took three hours that it would only
take three hours, but it took five to go through the DMV
Which, which one, it was one in Harold Square? Oh, was that
is that the one that's supposed to be the, like the, like the DMV Express
which is on 34th? That's crazy. You know what I've gone to the one in Brooklyn
the like big one, the one, there's one like by the mall, the Atlantic Center
And, uh, it's super crowded but they're super efficient in the fact that they have like 18 million lines set up
So it kind of just like they have, they, they know what they're doing. I'm like
you're from New York. So I feel like your line might have been shorter
What I was doing it from a different state. I just did my Oklahoma to New York license last year after living
in New York 15 years. Yeah. Where are you from? I don't remember what
Oklahoma. Well, I don't know, California, mostly Oklahoma though. Um, were you sad about the Thunder not winning the
the NBA title? Are you talking about a sporting event? I think that answers that question
Oklahoma City Thunder. They've got like a pro team now that basketball that's from uh Seattle
Seattle Supersonics. Yes. And they used to have and they used to have Sean Kemp
who is a beast. Anyway, we don't need to talk. We don't need to devolve into sports. I devolve
I dissolve into sports uh quite often on the show. So we don't
you know, I, I like your answer. Ok. Well, the, the gist of it was
I did my switch states and also my license was expired. So I had to go through the extra lines for my license being expired
and switching states. But it took me like 43 minutes. It was awesome
Wow. What happened to her? And Andrew has had a rough experience
That was like the start of you're like, should we talk about something else? This is like a start of a comedy routine
Should we talk about something else? So, I went to the DMV today and no
Um so I found a song I'm going to play until they play a set of music for us
You told me, August 30th. That was my promotion. Kick, kick the song
All right, I'm gonna play, I'm gonna play a song um by a band called II
I hope I'm pronouncing this. No CASS. And uh I'm, I'm doing that because uh they just tweeted at us that they love us
So, yeah, but that doesn't happen often. I'm not saying that to
to brag, I'm saying that because it's an anomaly. So, so I'm gonna play this song and uh and then talk normal is gonna
gonna segue into some uh some of their own tracks that they want you to hear
I wish it was a cappella. Can you do an a cappella for us later? They say no considering or
no seconds. He said five seconds. We got, that was really loud
We got, we got to turn this down. That was, that was uh we got caught off guard
I'm a little hot. I'm a little hot in the microphone right now. All right. Now we got the levels that
that, that's on the, that's on the fly um Radio lingo hot on the microphone
Yeah. So um we are, we are, if you're just joining us
we're, we're here with Talk Normal. Two of my very favorite people and they uh they have a record coming out and that's why we
had them here. I want to thank you guys. For, for coming by. I'm pleased to be here
We, we, I know, I, I think, have I seen you since
since the tour? Oh, yeah. That's right. But that was, like, less than a month right after that
Yeah, it's been six months. Yeah. I mean, but there's been correspondence in other ways
Oh, of course. I mean, we talk frequently, we need to, we need to talk about our
our, uh, you know, our, our next travel lodge diaries. My dad appreciated those so much
That was so fun. That was, that, that was a highlight. So, and that is what we call a segway because you guys will be
touring the US in October slash November. And then you're up in the UK in November slash December
Right? And I'm hoping that I can join you guys again. We are gonna try to make that happen
That would be, that would be a lot of fun. So, and to
to, to correct ourselves. Although I was correct the whole time, I'm just going to throw that out there
Your, your next show is August 30th. Correct. That is correct as well
It is at the ballroom with XU and others. I'm not sure who the others are yet
Um, TBD BD, which is, there's got to be a band out there called TBD
Right. There's a bar in Green Point, Brooklyn. I like it for its ping pong and it's called TBD
It is, I'm gonna, I'm gonna name my band TBD. So I'm like, on every
every show until they fill out the, until they fill out the bill and then I'm gonna be like
damn, they dropped us again. We were in a band called band number and then we would change the number every time we played
So, like the first band would be band number one. Yes, I believe we got to band number five
That was wishful thinking. Did you guys have any? That's a, that's a good question to go out and do you guys have any other
band names prior to, to talk normal? When, when we were trying to be talk normal or what other bands that we were in that
were not talk normal? I mean, I know you were in the, the quintessential post punk band
Um uh and Tony is Death Death Pool. That was the one I was looking for which I try
I tried out for and, and failed miserably. This is a story. No, you didn't fail miserably
Did. We never got anyone. We just ended up singing. This was another deal that a way of saying it was
it was, it was a Jazz us May pole and, and we were called Death
Pool and Derek tried out amongst many others. That was when I was in my corn phase
So it was very, I was trying, I was trying to growl and scream, you know, and it, it didn't show and that show
It was another fellow named John. Oh man, you really, you really let me down
We only played once. He only played once. Yeah, I only now I just
you know, in my old and the man stage, I'm, I'm just like happy to get the shoutouts from the
from the stage that makes me happy. So we're gonna, we're gonna go out with two songs here and then um besides would normally be
up next, but it's being substituted. Is there a name? Is there a name that I should say
J talking, I talking, I take Jenny Blaze and what's the other one
Step? Novo Nava like Navajo Indian. OK. Like she's not a hoe like she's not
she's not from uh where is that in England that we were just talking about
No, not Birmingham Newcastle. That's the one we were talking about. Um We're going to play two songs
This is, this is um PC worship because we were just talking about them. Oh OK
This is a great band from Brooklyn. And I think that Newtown Radio already knows that this is one of my favorite songs and every
time I play it, someone asks who it is. And then, and then after that
I'm going to play a punk rock song that is my ultimate love song just because I wanted to
it was just something I wanted to play today and then we'll, we'll hand it over to um
talking, I I have to talk normal. That's a, that's a good segue
Right. Here we go. I'm breaking down the fourth wall
