Speaker 2: Morning, well the morning. It's very early there. I forgot about.

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: No, you're well, there certainly are some singles to get through.

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure are.

9
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: Yes, hard to believe forty five years.

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite child amongst those? Stupid Does

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 3: it change over times and tours?

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, changing, changing all the time. I guess. Yeah, Well

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: one of them we discover, we discover some and go,

15
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: well that wasn't so bad, and another one thought, you're like,

16
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: they go out of you.

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, gotcha.

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: Well one of the I mean, one of the big

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: singles of course, is Unguarded Moment. But is I believe

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: that you said once that that song just doesn't appeal

21
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: to you, It doesn't give you any pleasure. Maybe it

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: was exciting for people who thought the country was going

23
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: to be bogged down with the Human League for the decade,

24
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: but you didn't care for it. Do you still feel

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: that way?

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: Sell ticket? I don't like I love that song, love it,

27
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: it's a favorite.

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: Oh, I love it.

29
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 3: You put extra love into it on stage in third Look.

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: I think that I think that's a conspiracy by the

31
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 2: du to say that I didn't like Hunguarded moment.

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're saying that we were going to be bogged

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: down with the Human League for the decade.

34
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: Wasn't it just say?

35
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 3: So many songs? Have you playing the singles this time?

36
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: But so many songs over the years of this prolific output.

37
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 3: But do they come in waves and the odd block

38
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 3: or is it pretty constant for you over the years.

39
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: Oh, pretty constant. It's on tap and it has been

40
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: my creativity you're talking about. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, No, it's

41
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: it's always on topic. It's always there as long as

42
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: I try and misuse it. If I try and do it,

43
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 2: if I try and do something really awful, it won't

44
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: show up. But if I believe in it, I treat

45
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: it the right way, it always ficks out a song

46
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: in the end.

47
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 3: Always respect for the gift. That's unreal.

48
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

49
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: Another one of the particularly huge singles we just played Underneath,

50
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: under Underneath, under the Milky Way under just under the

51
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: Milky Way. How did that end up in Johnny Darko?

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: Such a great scene.

53
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: I have no idea believe it. Yeah, I don't know.

54
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: You didn't get to say yes or no.

55
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: You it was just you don't.

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: Say yes or no. Anybody on the planet can do

57
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: your song as long as they pay the royalties and

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: as long as they don't mess with it. You don't

59
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: mess with it. Ye, great movie, So that's all right? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

60
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: if you use it, you can use it, but you

61
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 2: just got to play the royalty for using it.

62
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: Like someone doing a live gig in Berlin or something.

63
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: They're playing a cover get through.

64
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you don't want to see your song pop

65
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: up in some really dumb movie. I mean, it's good

66
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: when it's something like Donnie Darko and it's a good scene.

67
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: Any any dumb movie can muse it, but not any

68
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: dumb advertisement. An advertisement and advertisement used that song without

69
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: asking me. My lawyer was Yeah, my lawyer was able

70
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: to reuse a bit of money out of them for

71
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: not asking. And in movies and stuff, they sort of

72
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: negotiate with the publishing company, you know, and then the

73
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: publishing company back you know. You're going to make you know,

74
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: five bucks out of here.

75
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: And I expect you can't have Polgy's just using it

76
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: either on a whim.

77
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: Which one I'm Tony Albanize you can have it. Peter

78
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: Dutton can't unless he comes up, unless you know, we

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: can negotiate. Certainly not trumpet a patriots.

80
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: Unguarded moment when the stages today?

81
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

82
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: Trump the Patriots?

83
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: I can't keep up with that, you.

84
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: Know what? You know what, why didn't they come to

85
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 2: me and say, you know, like I'm a master works

86
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 2: with if they were starting a new political party, see

87
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: what do you think of trumpet the Patriots? That you

88
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: will not get crickenal if you just bring Abraham Lincoln

89
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: back from the dead and Robert Menzies, you won't get

90
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: elected if you call it the trumpet.

91
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: A patriot, They are going to the wrong people for

92
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: their words.

93
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. I would have come up with a great cutting edge.

94
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 3: Come up with something clever.

95
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

96
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 3: What what was the last time you painted something?

97
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 2: And what was it?

98
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 3: How long ago?

99
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: Painted? Yeah?

100
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 3: You know you paint you.

101
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I painted. I paint. I paint these for

102
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: my own places. So I paint a lot of permissions

103
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,280
Speaker 2: and I enjoy that, and people go, can you paint

104
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: me and and my cat? And can you paint me

105
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 2: and my son? And you paint my car? I enjoyed that.

106
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: But just a couple of days ago I painted. I

107
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: paint these kind of underwater scenes that are kind of

108
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 2: like across between reptiles and fish and plants. And I

109
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 2: painted one the other day and put it. I just

110
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: put it up on Facebook for the front of it.

111
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: Were immediately sold. Beautiful. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was a

112
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: really good result.

113
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: There is a there is a question I like to ask,

114
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: and that is to remember the first time you heard

115
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: yourself on the radio. Now, were you too cool to

116
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: react or did you just quietly jump out of your skin?

117
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 2: O way. I the band was driving along and Unguarded

118
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: Moments came off, and there's something about Unguarded Moment. It

119
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: was really mastered, roud and it jumped out of the

120
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: radio like three times rouder than any other song when

121
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: we were like probably narrowly averted. Yeah, yeah, it would

122
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: be a real thrill.

123
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, whether you liked it or not.

124
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've always loved that song.

125
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 3: Heard it is yeah by tickets.

126
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 1: Steve's going to be at the ASTA on November thirteen,
