There's 59 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: some Pink Floyd in there. We haven't actually done a 60 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: Pink Floyd album yet, so maybe that is on the cards. 61 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: When else the Led Zeppelin, some Bruce Springs scene, Fleetwood Mac, 62 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 2: it's kind of it's the classics, some Beetles. 63 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: Which Fleetwood Mac song?

And 81 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: I was thinking to myself when I was talking about 82 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: it yesterday, I was thinking, you know, if you've got 83 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: it like a body of your own work, which is 84 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: pretty amazing, why are you going out and doing other 85 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,239 Speaker 1: people's songs? Is there something like? Is it more fun 86 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: to do covers? What is it? 87 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: It's just different? It's kind of what's what's a good analogy? 88 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 2: It's like borrowing your friend's jacket. You know, you've got 89 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: wardrobe for the things that you wear all the time, 90 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 2: and you love them and they're and you're great and 91 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: you have your favorites and everything, and then you know, 92 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 2: you see your friend has this great coat and you 93 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 2: just go, oh, that would be fun to wear for 94 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: the night. 95 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: Except your friend is maybe I don't know, John Lennon, Yeah, 96 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: it's a really great jacket that you're trying for the 97 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: nice Yeah. 98 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, those glasses a little round one, I see, they 99 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 2: do look good on me. But it's also it's how 100 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 2: I think of, you know, when I think of doing covers, 101 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: they are usually you know, all describing doing covers, it's 102 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 2: it's something you have to wear them as your own, yeah, 103 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 2: as well as paying you know to like paying homage 104 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 2: to the greatness of what the song is. 105 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: Yeah too right, You've got to kind of put your 106 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 1: own spin on it. You can't wear it like somebody 107 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: else does. Julie, give me your take on the on 108 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: how the music industry in New Zealand's going at the 109 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: bubb eve been around for a while, right, You've seen 110 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: it across the decades. Is it still strong? Yes? 111 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of amazing 112 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 2: music out there and some you know, great people involved. 113 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: I think, oh God, this is it. This is a 114 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: broad subject. 115 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: I will tell you why I was thinking about this, right. 116 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,719 Speaker 1: I was thinking about it because there's a lot of 117 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: twenty five year anniversaries that are being marked at the moment, 118 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: twenty five years of you know, various things with Sheha, 119 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: twenty five years since you released your song Lydia, and 120 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 1: it kind of made me think that. I mean, look, 121 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: twenty five years ago, I was a lot younger, and 122 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: I was probably spending more time, more time at concerts, 123 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: but it felt to me like it was more vibrant, 124 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: and there was more going on, and we were listening 125 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: to more Kiwi music back then than maybe we are now. 126 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 2: No, Well, is that part of that whole nostalgia thing 127 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 2: as well? You know, those were such formative years, you know, 128 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 2: you know, twenty five years ago, the age for us was, 129 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: you know, you view the world kind of differently, I 130 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 2: guess when you're in your twenties and I think there 131 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 2: there's definitely so many good young musicians and bands out 132 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: there at the moment, and I think the scene is alive. 133 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 2: I think it's it's different. It's a different world with 134 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: streaming and all those kind of you know, new like 135 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: social media platforms. I think when we were, you know, 136 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: twenty five years ago, there were very clear media outlets, 137 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: you know, in terms of everybody sort of saw the 138 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: same papers or the same stations. And you know, now 139 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: there's you know, so many more ways of reaching your audience. Yeah, 140 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 2: that it maybe seems a little bit more scattered, but 141 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: there's definitely I don't know, there's a lot years. 142 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: Ago, Julia, remember we used to have music TV, right 143 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: and you go from schooling, you sit down. What was 144 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: it called? Was it juice TV? 145 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: Juice TV? 146 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: Sit down, come home from school, sit down, watch the 147 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: latest music videos. I don't know that the kids are 148 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: still doing that. 149 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: They watch them on YouTube. But also, you know, the 150 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 2: music video isn't as powerful a tool as it used 151 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 2: to be. But because of that, people watch them on YouTube. 152 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 2: But I know a lot of musicians now when they 153 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 2: release of music don't even bother with a full you 154 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 2: know three you know, full links music video because it's 155 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 2: a lot of money.
