Speaker 5: the Lizmore kind of showground and he had a charity

49
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 5: fundraiser day. So I got to open the batting with him,

50
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 5: which was pretty awesome, but I ran him out.

51
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 4: No you read Oh my god, Yeah.

52
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: It was pretty It was pretty sad. I'd blame the

53
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 3: building side. I kind of like cheating bandage building building side.

54
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 3: You should have thrown to.

55
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 2: My did he get to hit a couple of sixes?

56
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: Did he clear the band?

57
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: He hit a lot of sixes?

58
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 2: Yet after that?

59
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

60
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 4: Well yeah, this year marks twenty five years. Way to

61
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 4: make us all feel old.

62
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: Since Powder for You released OBNTE number five, we just said,

63
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: you know what a huge album was six arias that

64
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: resulted in including Album of the Year, Single of the Year,

65
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: and Best Group.

66
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 4: Did you think at the time you were making I know.

67
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,359
Speaker 1: Right when you think about it like that, did that

68
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: at the time?

69
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 4: Did you think we're making something very special here?

70
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 5: No?

71
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: Of course not.

72
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 5: I mean, well you you kind of think you have

73
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 5: to think that.

74
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: Every time you're recording.

75
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 5: Well true, but not like you're not thinking, oh, this

76
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 5: is going to be the album of the year or anything.

77
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 5: You're just trying to I think as a writer you

78
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 5: kind of always have to be thinking this is the

79
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 5: best thing I've ever done every time you write a song, right,

80
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 5: you know, it kind of has to be the mentality

81
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 5: or else what's the point? You know, you're kind of

82
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 5: trying to improve. It doesn't mean that it's necessarily going to.

83
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: Be what other people like. Yeah, fair enough.

84
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes those things kind of coalesce like it

85
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 5: did with obviously number five obviously.

86
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to apply that logic to everything you

87
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: do in life, really or what's the points?

88
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much.

89
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 6: We spoke to Steve Kilby last week and yeah, incredible

90
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 6: get back catalog with the Church and solo and other

91
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 6: combos and that, Grant mcglennon and all the rest of it.

92
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 6: But we talked about songwriting and he seemed to think

93
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 6: he was very, very lucky that he had the tap

94
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 6: that he could turn on any time. You know, the

95
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 6: songs were sort of often there. Do you find you're

96
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 6: a bit like that or do you does it turn

97
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 6: on and off? You get a block everything in there?

98
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm not as prolific as Steve is. He writes,

99
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 5: he writes, seems to write very easily. He's they've made

100
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's like twenty six albums or something

101
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 5: like crazy amount of records. But I mean I write

102
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 5: all the time, but I am not able to just

103
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 5: turn a song on. I mean I also, like I said,

104
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 5: because I sort of hold myself to that standard of

105
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 5: like every time I write a song, I'm not just

106
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 5: going to do it and put it in the d draw,

107
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 5: you know, like it's I always want the quality of

108
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 5: it to be really high and I want it to

109
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 5: move me. Yes, because it's not going to move anybody else,

110
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 5: you know, that's kind of the the rationale for me,

111
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 5: I guess so.

112
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. But everyone does it differently.

113
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 5: You know. Some people just want to want to keep

114
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 5: going and they're okay with with having stuff that just

115
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 5: gets it finished.

116
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's as well.

117
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: You know, it may not be top notes.

118
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, Before we let you go, Bernard, we like

119
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: to ask when was the first time do you remember

120
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: the first time you heard yourself on the radio?

121
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 5: I don't remember exactly, but it would have been ninety ninety.

122
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 3: Three.

123
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 4: Okay, so often it happens in the car.

124
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's right. I don't honestly don't remember all

125
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: about it wasn't no.

126
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 5: But it's I think it's it's kind of some people

127
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 5: get really excited about that.

128
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: I think when you're recording.

129
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 5: When you're recording, you hear the song so much. The

130
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 5: other thing about, honestly, about listening to a song on

131
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 5: the radio from compared to the studio version, and you

132
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 5: guys would know this is there's so much compression on it.

133
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 5: It doesn't sound anything.

134
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,480
Speaker 2: Like what the recordings.

135
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, So it's often aspect scular disappointment.

136
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: It's like you've done so much work to get the

137
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: sound right to go, oh what's that? Yeah compacted?

138
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 3: Then it's like thanks, you guys just washed it. Yeah yeah, yeah.

139
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 4: No, no, one, don't be disappointed.

140
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just going to make an appeal to the

141
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 5: producers today. Can you just take the compressors off when

142
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 5: you play the next Fanning Dansey song?

143
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 3: It happens. Yeah, cool, you get lots of nice calls. Absolutely.

144
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: Tickets are still available through Ticketmaster for Saturday at Barnard Park.

145
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 4: I think it's Barnard. It could be Barnard, but it's.

146
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks for chatting to us, Bernard.

Speaker 6: Good on you guys, despite us making you sound your

148
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 6: song sound crappy for forty years.
