Speaker 1: Pushkin. I have a friend in California, music producer Rick Rubin.
Speaker 1: He's a studio in Malibu called Shango Law. And sometimes
Speaker 1: when I'm out in Los Angeles, I go up and
Speaker 1: see Rick and we sit and look out at the
Speaker 1: ocean and we talk. What, in your mind is the
Speaker 1: first great true hip hop record? I would say run
Speaker 1: DMC Sucker MCS. That's probably the best hip hop record.
Speaker 1: They were rap records before that, but that was maybe
Speaker 1: the first hip hop record. You know, in that era,
Speaker 1: I had a jade tree in my dorm room, run
Speaker 1: DM TREEO, and I had I rewrote the lyrics of
Speaker 1: the song to be all about my jade tree. I'm
Speaker 1: a sucker. Jade tree can't grow much higher. All you
Speaker 1: other jade tree is gonna call me sire. And one
Speaker 1: day we realized we're not the only ones who are
Speaker 1: this crazy about music, so we started visiting lots of
Speaker 1: other people whose work we love. Producer Now Rogers, you've
Speaker 1: probably had one of his songs stuck in your head
Speaker 1: at some point. The very first time David played Let's
Speaker 1: Dance for me, walked into the studio and he played
Speaker 1: something Let's Dance the radio, nothing and then I asked
Speaker 1: me if I could do an arrangement. But then when
Speaker 1: I moved it from a minor up to be flat,
Speaker 1: it actually had a different vibe. It got it got
Speaker 1: brighter in like funkier Son. You can already hear it,
Speaker 1: like now brings along his whole band and gives us
Speaker 1: a private concert. It's insane. Rufus Waynewright does the same thing,
Speaker 1: just him and a piano. Rufus had a cold that day.
Speaker 1: You couldn't even tell. We talked to Wendy and Lisa
Speaker 1: from the Revolution. We were the band that Prince sang to.
Speaker 1: We were the band that Prince danced to. We were
Speaker 1: the band that Prince could take off his guitar and
Speaker 1: do nothing. And it was still a Prince show, you know.
Speaker 1: And so then the audience gets to experience what he experienced.
Speaker 1: And what's a music podcast without a deep dive into
Speaker 1: the epistemology of Norwegian black metal? You know, death motto
Speaker 1: is more is more like you know what they call
Speaker 1: a cookie monster, like where it's like you know a
Speaker 1: lot of that, and with Blackmail it's more a lot
Speaker 1: a lot of it is more like like more just
Speaker 1: higher and yeah and just sounds much crazier in my opinion.
Speaker 1: All this and more so much more is part of
Speaker 1: our new show, Broken Record, Rick my friend Bruce headlam
Speaker 1: Me conversations, arguments, stories, remembering old music, discovering new music.
