What's up everybody? What's up everybody. Little deftones to get the show started. I love the deftones. The name of the song is Minerva. Go download it.
Scott McLean:Deftones Solid, solid band, 90s band, which is what we're going to be talking about tonight. This will definitely get copyright problems. God bless you all For the song you sing. Like I said, the song is Minerva by Deftones. Go to Spotify, download it. Give them your money. Yeah, no, jack, tonight.
Scott McLean:Patty, good evening. You're the same as usual, patty in first. Patty, good evening. As usual, patty in first. Yeah, we're going to be doing some music news tonight. No, jack, it's hard to turn the song down. I hate cutting a song off in the middle, but they'll take it down. They'll take the whole live stream down. They, they will do it. We all know who they is. Like I said welcome to the show. Streaming live right now, over everything. Yeah, so we're going to do some music news tonight.
Scott McLean:Might as well get right into it. Let's see. Let's see what I can conjure up. Pull myself down over here, get this up over here. I have some 90s, mostly 90s stuff.
Scott McLean:I have one article, big hair, big sound and three big songs that defined the glamour of the 80s. The 80s was fucking great. What a great decade that was To be a kid. I don't know what adults thought of it, but yeah, so let's see. I have this other article. Let me pull it up on the screen. Come on, you can do it. There we go. Okay, let me cut back over here. Let me add my scene. Let me pull up my screen. That will be screen. There we go. So let me. This is kind of an interesting thing right here. So let me. This is kind of an interesting thing right here.
Scott McLean:Rock bands with a rock band with more than a million Spotify listeners. This is today's music people Rock band with one million Spotify listeners. Reveals it's entirely AI generated, down to the musicians themselves. A fresh new rock band that quickly shot to Spotify's top ranks announced that it's actually wholly generated by artificial intelligence Just one month after its celebrated debut album earned it one million listeners.
Scott McLean:The 60s inspired rock and roll band, the Velvet Sundown Now, if you're a 60s, 70s kid, you know that's kind of a Velvet Underground Velvet Sundown. I don't know, it's too close for me, let me get rid of that. Revealed on Saturday that nothing about it is real after fans on the up-and-coming artists noticed there were virtually no traces of any people associated with it online. Its debut album, floating on Echoes, was released on June 5th to mass appeal. Online. Most popular song in the album pro peace folk rock song dust on the wind. See, you know what they're doing here. You know what they're doing right? Not dust in the wind, dust on the wind. Uh, clinch the number it's, I don't know. We'll talk about this clininch, the number one spot on Spotify's daily viral 50 chart in Britain, norway and Sweden between June 29th and July 1st. All the while, the one million monthly listeners who started following the Velvet Sundown had no idea they were just listening to a massive artificial intelligence made by fake musicians.
Scott McLean:The photos of the band shared online and featured on the album's cover were unnaturally smooth and mad in mad. What is it? And matt and the guitarist hand was wonky because ai if anybody out there messes around with AI. I do a lot and imaging is kind of. It's very new and it has a hard time. Ai has a hard time with the hand. Hands and fingers are usually messed up, which I guess is the same thing that happens to a painter. Painters really have to do a lot of extra work to learn how to do a hand so, uh, so it says the hand was wonky, with fused fingers gripping this instrument, a classic hallmark of ai generated images. I don't read these articles before I, uh, read them to you. I like to have that natural reaction. The band's, too, were a perfect mesh of generic anti-war sentiments and other cliches like nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky. It slips away and all your money won't. Another minute by the faux rock stars were also pumping out new albums, scarily and inhumanely fast, releasing two in June alone and another set for mid-July.
Scott McLean:The band finally revealed its secret over the weekend. It updated its Spotify biography Saturday to reflect the AI twist, assuring that the project hadn't been trying to bamboozle its audience. Really, is this because you got caught? Is this a? Let's cut it off the ankles before we end up like millie vanillie? Maybe? Yeah, I think they got too popular too fast and there was an oh shit moment and they said, ah, we should probably say something if, if they didn't get this popular, would they have ever come out of the closet the AI closet? Who knows, who knows?
Scott McLean:The Velvet Sundown is a synthetic music project guided by human creative direction and composed, voiced and visualized with the support of artificial intelligence. This isn't a trick, it's a mirror, any ongoing artistic provocation designed to challenge the boundaries of authorship, identity and the future of music itself in the age of AI. The biography reads so I have a podcast that I do. It's my little side project. One of my side projects. It's called Bite Size Nightmares and what I do is I create these short horror stories, but I create them with the help of AI.
Scott McLean:Ai, I look at it and I don't know about music, but I know about the writing aspect of it. It's not. It's more of a collaboration than cheating, because you really have to prompt AI to get it to do what you want. You literally have to train it to do what you want. The more you work with it, the more it starts to know you. It knows your nuances, how you write or what you want it to do, what you expect it to do. So people think they can just go to AI and write a song. It's really not that easy. You can have a garbage like I could have a garbage story, and then I actually created an AI voice that tells the stories and that took work to get that voice perfected to make it sound human. So the work does have to go into it and you have to do the work. So, like I say, it's a collaboration if anything but music is a whole. Well, I don't know. There's authors that I know know. I know of an author. He's a friend of mine and he uses ai. Now, musicians, this is a big deal music and ai uh. So we'll see where it goes.
Scott McLean:The velvet sundown is a synthetic music project guided by human creative direction. I already read that Some people who had seen through the band's ploy early tried to take advantage of its viral success before the truth came out. See, a Quebec-based web safety expert posed as a spokesman for the Velvet Sundown under the pseudonym Andrewrew freelawn, which translate translates to hornet in french uh, and even slid false information to rolling stone magazine about his supposed clients. But the man behind the freelawn quickly confessed that he was just trying to troll people online. It's unclear if the Velvet Sundown will face any backlash from Spotify.
Scott McLean:Isn't this a form of art, though? Isn't this a form of art? Like? When synthesizers came along, there was a lot of piano players. There's a lot of organ players that got put out of business Because synthesizers came along. So isn't this just another version of that? I'm not pro or knock came along. So isn't this just another version of that? I mean, I'm not pro or knock on. This isn't a hill I'm going to die on, uh, the backlash, uh, from spotify or any other platforms where it may be eligible for streaming revenue.
Scott McLean:Starting on july 15th, youtube announced that it would be cutting all monetization, including advertisements, from any content generated by AI. Wow, hmm, that's interesting. Youtube announced that it would be cutting all monetization, including advertisements, from any content generated by AI. Wow, that's going to hurt a lot of people. Now, what are the parameters of that? Like can people? Because I watch YouTubers, popular YouTubers that will use most likely AI generated images to tell a story. Does that not count anymore? And these are pretty big YouTubers. In late June, popular YouTuber MrBeast announced a tool that would use AI to make thumbnails for videos. He quickly removed it after receiving backlash for supporting an artificial intelligence engine which often requires Massive amounts of energy. That would steadily offset His years of environmental work and reforestation efforts, and MrBeast is the world's biggest YouTuber. Interesting, I don't know where that's going to go.
Scott McLean:Let's get back to the show. Let's see. I probably lost my chat. Let me get my chat here. Let me get the overlay over here. No, I want to get it. How are we not talking about Steven Tyler killing it at Ozzy's Farewell concert? Tyler is back. Not a big fan. Bob Doucette Not a big fan. Steven Tyler Don't really have much love for pedos.
Scott McLean:Self-admitted pedos Wrote it in his book pedos no denying that he did this. Pedos Wrote it in his book pedos no denying that he did this. Pedo. So I don't give him my attention. There's plenty more out there Perry Lightfingers, tedovich, the AI. I guess you're going to cause this podcast to not get any money on YouTube anymore because I'm making so much money off of this. Yeah, making so much money off this. So, yeah, I don't know what you think about it. I don't know what you think about it. I don't know what you think about ai generated music. Uh, it's just another artistic form of creation, right? Uh, again, so you have a lot of music programs that have pre-programmed loops and you can go in, and those eventually are going to be generated through AI. Uh, they're already probably computer generated and you can make beats with them, the whole thing, and so I don't know where the line gets drawn. It's a pretty gray line right now, but we'll see. All right, let's see what we got next. Let me pull up something next. Let me get rid of this.
Scott McLean:Hope everybody had a good 4th of July. By the way, me and Dr Vera had another amazing time up at St Augustine. It is the absolute grand slam on the 4th of July. That place. It really is St Augustine, florida. I highly recommend it. Well, no, I don't, because then you'll show up and then there's more people there. But you know what the thing about that place? Everybody's cool, everybody's cool. There's no hustle and bustle. No one's trying to take your spot, bump into you. If they do this, they literally say excuse me. It's just such a cool place and you're up on the bay where they do a beautiful 20, 25-minute firework display. They do it right. It's one of their big events for the year, so they put the money into it.
Scott McLean:Me and Dr Vera put our chairs up there like 9 in the morning and the fireworks don't go off until 9.30 at night. We go back around 7. Nobody's moved our chairs, nobody's touched them, nobody stole them, no one slid them down so they could put their chair in there. People just put their chairs next to you and they even keep a little bit of a distance, and it's always a breeze. There's always a breeze coming off that bay, so it's perfect weather, unless it rains.
Scott McLean:Anyway, I digress.
Scott McLean:Let's see what do we got.
Scott McLean:Let's go with the next Pull this down. What do we got here? Let's go with the next Pull this down. What do we got here? You know what Five female alt rock stars of the 90s we know you love? Let me pull this up. That's going to be a video. I don't want to do that. No, let's go to quick notes. All iCloud here we go. Let's go to the 90s here. Let's see what we got. Alright, go back over here. This is live streaming, so there's no editing here, but I'm getting good at this.
Scott McLean:All right, here we go 20 iconic music moments that defined the 90s. We don't, I don't, I don't. We don't really talk about the 90s. That much I'll be on. Uh, what does it say here?
Scott McLean:The 90s was such an epic time for music, a decade that not only had, it is a very underrated decade. I think there's some shit that went on in the 90s like they had a lot. They were. It was almost like the 70s. There was about five different things going on in music in the 90s, just in that decade. The 90s was such an epic time for music, a decade that not only had elite music programming across radio and TV, but also helped shape the course of music history, from the rise of hip hop solidifying mainstream dominance, to platforms changing the way music is consumed, mainstream dominance to platforms changing the way music is consumed. The 90s were a time for artists and music industry to continue to innovate with the times, whether it was an artist redefining the super bowl halftime show we know who that is or girl group becoming a worldwide phenomenon we know who that is in the 90s, take a guess. The 90s left an unforgettable mark on pop culture, from the highs and the lows.
Scott McLean:Let's take a look at some memories, memorable music moments that defined the decade from 1990 to 1999. We have Whitney Houston's national anthem performance do you even have to talk about that? At Super Bowl 25, do we even have to mention that is? Is that not the cornerstone of national anthems? Isn't that the pinnacle? Outkast Source Awards speech I don't know. Most of you probably don't know who OutKast is.
Scott McLean:Mtv launches Total Request Live. That was a phenomenon. That thing was a big deal. Carson Daly he tried to do his own show after TRL, but, you know, never did. I mean, I caught myself watching this a bunch of times. So MTV was still music television back then. Uh, it was in 1998 that came out.
Scott McLean:Spice girls ruled the world. We know that. That started kicked off in 96, millie vanillie's downfall. It happened in the 90s. Yeah, they were exposed in 89, but it carried over. It carried over East Coast vs West Coast. That was the for those of you that like it, maybe you don't like it hip hop that was more than rock bands rivaling. I can tell you that that was serious. This wasn't like than rock bands rivaling. I can tell you that that was serious. This wasn't like Axl Rose wants to fight Sebastian Bach Right, these motherfuckers were shooting each other, literally. Sebastian Bach wants to fight Marilyn Manson. I would pay to see that, though. Let's see what do we got? Boy bands are everywhere. They definitely ruled the 90s. They were in sync. Backstreet Boys, hanson, 98 Degrees they were all there.
Scott McLean:Selena Not even going to joke about that. That was just tragic. I didn't listen to Tejano music, tejano music, but I knew who she was. And beautiful young woman Tragically shot by the fucking president of her fan club. Yeah, yeah, hey, macarena shot by the fucking president of her fan club. Yeah, I hate macarena.
Scott McLean:It was a 90s uh phenomenon, what was that? Was that about the mid 90s? I think yeah, uh, the brat. She goes platinum then goes away. That's really really how that happened goes platinum then literally goes away. She was exposed as a total fucking asshole.
Scott McLean:Uh, shit changes the world of auto-tune. Do you believe in the power of love? Remember 98 had that auto tone in there that she pumped her voice up. So they. So let's talk about that. What's you know? Auto tone, auto tune isn't that, it's almost well. It's technology changing something. Is AI any different? It creates something, I don't know. But Auto-Tune was. I'm just getting a text message here. All right, latin artists crossover Ricky Martin, you had Iglesias, I actually liked him. Enrique Iglesias, I actually did like him. He has some good songs. And the other dude that married J-Lo Mark Anthony. Those were probably the three, the big three.
Scott McLean:Janet Jackson signs the largest recording contract, well-deserved, I think. She. You know what. If you don't give her credit, then you're wrong. You're just wrong, because Janet Jackson had. She didn't have a fucking hill to climb, she had Mount Everest to climb. She was coming up in the shadow of Michael Jackson and the Jackson five. That is a monumental task to get to the point that she got to in music, miss Jackson. When I mean all she said one line in a song, miss Jackson, if you're and she became Miss Jackson, I mean you think about that, think about the fucking mountain she had to climb to get above and then get over the Michael Jackson sister thing, little sister thing, and she did it. And she did it fucking big time. She absolutely did it big time. So all credit, all credit, all credit to Janet Jackson. There's no doubt about it. She earned everything. She got earned it. Nothing was given to that girl, nothing.
Scott McLean:Mc Hammer is a diamond superstar. He was one of the brings hip-hop into the pop mainstream world with Can't Touch Us right, the album Don't Hurt Him Please, hammer, don't Hurt Him. Everyone was doing the. Hammer brings hip hop into the pop mainstream world with can't touch us Right, the album Don't hurt him, please, hammer, don't hurt him. Everyone was doing the hammer dance. Everyone had on the genie pants, right, you know, you did, I did, I had them genie pants. They were comfortable. They were comfortable. Yeah, I could dance, I could dance. I could dance like Hammer. No, not like Hammer, but yeah, hitting the clubs in Sacramento Black Angus, yucatan, liquor Stand, paradise, beach Club, bobby McGee's I go down the road. I ran all those clubs in Sacramento. I'm just gonna say it was like shooting fish in a barrel, if you know what I mean.
Scott McLean:Anyway, boyz II Men and Mariah Carey break billboard records in the 90s. They were both, I mean Mariah's Mariah, that's a one word, that's a one name girl right there, there's no doubt about it. Michael Jackson's Super Bowl halftime performance again very big, very big TLC files for bankruptcy. This is where it all became like it got exposed. I mean, tlc was everywhere. Tlc was. They were winning Grammys, they were selling a million records and they were everywhere. They were videos, concerts and they weren't getting shit. They signed a bad contract and it really got exposed. Those three girls, left eye, lisa, left eye, lopez, rest in peace. Um, they uh, really had a lot of guts and they exposed the record industry for what it really was.
Scott McLean:And you had a band that everybody's thought was making bank. Like how could you not? But their manager, pebbles, who was an 80s kind of pop star, young black woman pop star pebbles. She had a couple hits in the 80s. She was their manager and well, she, uh, she knew the business and she gave them the business, if you know what I mean. They filed for bankruptcy, which was insane. Yeah, Britney Spears is Pop's newest star.
Scott McLean:I don't care what you say, I love Britney. Leave Britney alone. Leave Britney alone. Leave Britney alone. I always like God bless her. Fucking crazier than a sprayed roach, but God bless her. Yeah, she had talent. She was fucking crazy. That's a great combination crazy and talented. Ah, that's a media dream and we got to watch it unfold, unfortunately. But uh, I always liked, I always liked her. I didn't buy her CDs, she was not bad to look at.
Scott McLean:I'm not going to lie and I don't know any guy out there that didn't watch that Baby One More Time video and that little schoolgirl dress, right, little plaid Catholic girl outfit. If you say you didn't watch that video, at least once, you're lying. You're lying men anyway. Uh, napster, napster reeks. Have it god damn right, it did. I'm not gonna say, and you might know the story. You might not know the story, but I'm going to tell you the story.
Scott McLean:Back around 90, let me see back around 98, I went to this record store in Hollywood, florida, called Coconuts and I wanted to buy. You know, we all got bamboozled with that whole. Uh um, you know, vinyl sucks and everything is cds now. So replace your vinyl collection with cds. That's exactly what the marketing was. Uh, they, they, they bad. It's like what the margin uh industry did to margarine industry did to butter. Right, they tell you butter is bad, eat margarine, which is, as we all know, one chemical short of plastic, and ants won't even eat it if you put it in the dirt. Uh, well, the, the cd industry did that. The record companies did that to vinyl. So we all try to replace and most of us did our record collection with CDs.
Scott McLean:So I kind of got caught up in it, I'm not going to lie. And I went to Coconuts and I got the Clash London Calling. And I got the Clash London Calling. Now that at the time was about 20 years old, going on, 20 years old. It made its money fucking three times over in those just about two decades. And so I go to get the CD. I'm expecting, like I don't know, 15 bucks. They wanted $24 for that fucking CD. I said, you motherfuckers, you motherfuckers. So I end up buying the CD because I wanted it, right when I didn't have a record player and I had a. I had the old, uh, uh, I had the old, uh, six-pack CD player. Yeah, remember that one, that was a 90s thing. So I got it.
Scott McLean:But then I go to work and a guy at work tells me about Napster or something. I'm like, what do you mean? He goes yeah, you can go on in and get this music. So then I went home and I download Napster and I only had dial-up. So the first song that I downloaded was Stone Temple Pilots. I think it was like plush, never forget it, and it took literally like 45 minutes for one file.
Scott McLean:So I went back to work next day and I'm like, what the fuck, that takes forever. Dude's like, oh, there's this new thing out and like this dude, there was two guys that were just computed. They were computed junkies, right, yeah, this new thing, dsl, dsl. Call at&t or whatever and see if they have a dsl thing that's you know that you're connected to because it's regional, and yada, yada, yada. I go what the fuck is dsl? He goes, it just makes everything faster. That's all I'm going to tell you. So I call and they're like yeah, we have it, you're eligible for it, you're in the right area. And I said, all right, hook it up. I don't even know how much I paid for it, but I got it hooked up and that was the beginning of the fast speeds. That was the beginning of the fast speeds and I went into Napster and I proceeded To download, in the end, 10,000 songs, just out of fucking pure spite.
Scott McLean:Just out of pure spite for the record industry. Yeah, I know, metallica was all like you're taking the money from the artists. Yeah, well, fight with your fucking record companies. They've been taking your money for decades and decades and decades, and now they're taking our money too. So, fuck you, metallica. 10,000,.
Scott McLean:Then my buddy taught me how to burn them onto CDs, mp3s, right, mp3s, and I had like each disc I had like 100 discs, I don't know like Fucking a thousand songs on it, whatever it was, thousand songs on, I don't know. I was downloading everything, everything I downloaded, I don't know if any of you remember this. In the 80s, in the 70s, there was a radio, when radio was still radio, and there was a show called CBS radio mystery theater and it was hosted by EG Marshall, and every night for an hour they would tell these old. You know it was a new version, like they'd tell new stories, and it's kind of modernized for the time that it was out. And I found that and I must have downloaded 500 of those episodes and some of them are pretty cool because they still have the old commercials in them from like the 70s. So it was pretty cool. The bottom line is yeah, fuck the record company, you screwed me for $24 for an album that made its money two, three times over already. No, so thank you, napster, thank you.
Scott McLean:Lauryn Hill makes Grammy history in the 90s. Let me see what did she do. The following year, hill became a Grammy darling, won multiple awards, including Best New Artist, best R&B Album and Album of the Year, the latter making Hill the first hip-hop artist. She's with the Fugees I don't know if you've ever listened to the Fugees, who won the most prestigious awards. So there you go. That's some shit.
Scott McLean:That happened in the 90s. I don't know how many of you were really listening to music back then, like Dave Phillips, king of the 45s, would say let me get caught up on the. Oh, look at this, let me see adam nelson. It's very underrated. Okay, 90s music I think he's talking about and let me get caught up on these. Uh, patty ossey, she certainly did.
Scott McLean:Janet jackson, uh, mark shannon tells me to shut up what you know what? This guy? He doesn't know anything about music. Anyways, he probably came and went. He's probably one of those guys. Uh, let's see. Yeah, when I get that up on the screen I can't read the uh comments, so I don't know where we're at.
Scott McLean:The glove box of your father's truck was full of them. Yeah, steve Romano talking about, I guess, cds. Then left, I burned down Andre Rises, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Left eye, remember left eye? That happened in the 90s. Lisa left eye, lopez. Andre Risen, atlanta Falcons wide receiver, she burnt this house down by lighting his sneakers on fire and throwing them in the bathtub. That she thought was metal Womp, womp, womp, womp.
Scott McLean:And I still mock and I still say to Bob Doucette I won't talk about Steven Tyler, that's it, won't do it. Let me see what else we got Moving right along. Let me get rid of that. Let's see, let's get out of this. Let's go with, let's go with every year of the 90s ranked according to music. Let me see, I didn't just do that right, here we go. Okay, let me go over here, pull it up on the screen for the people at home watching Again. I don't read these, so these ought to be interesting. Every year of the 90s, ranked according to music, from 10 down to 1.
Scott McLean:As millennials relive the 90s in all its glory, it's hard not to celebrate the ups and downs of music over the course of the decade. As technology and the political climate changed, so did fans' appetite for genres like gangster rap, grunge, new jack, swing, punk and pop. See, punk came back with that old Green Day shit. But there was a lot that went on in the 90s, a lot of changes, let me see. As with any nostalgic music, post post, things need to be ranked and in this case we ranked each year based on selection of music and events to happen over the course of the 90s.
Scott McLean:Number 10 is 1991. I was in sacramento, california. That again great time, with Alternative Rock producing some of the best albums of the year. Nirvana introduces first glimpse of grunge and R&B makes a go at the singles charts. This year is a bit all over the place in terms of genre and style. What happened? Well, whitney Houston sings the Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl, laying the groundwork, like I said, for every performance after that. Janet Jackson signs a $30 million record deal with Virgin Records and her brother Michael signs a $1 billion contract with Sony. Boys to Men makes it so hard to say goodbye to. Yesterday. Perry Farrell from Jane's Addiction launches the first Lollapalooza festival tour. Metallica releases the Black album, one of the most successful albums of all time. Guns N' Roses sells 1.3 million copies of their sophomore album in one week.
Scott McLean:Every major single, everything I do, I did it for you, gonna make you sweat. Everybody dance now. I like the way, uh, I like the way, uh. The kissing game because I love you. The postman song love will never do without you features parentheses in the title. Ah, kenny rogers launches the restaurant chain kenny rogers roasters. It's not the Seinfeld episode where they put a Kenny Rogers Roasters across the street from the apartment building that Jerry and Kramer live in. Kramer referred to the red neon light when it was going off. He said being in his apartment was like being on the red planet, jerry. And that was the episode where Jerry said he'll sleep in there. And then the was it, mr Chuckles? The fucking Vandrilligris doll ran across, ran across the floor.
Scott McLean:Oh yeah, notable releases Mariah Carey by Mariah Carey. Nevermind. By Nirvana Ten. By Pearl Jam. Metallica by Metallica. The Low End Theory one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever made by a tribe called Quest. Everything I Do in parentheses I Do For you. By Bryan Adams I Wanna Sex you Up. By Call Me Bad, gonna Make you Sweat. In parentheses. Every Dance Now. Everybody Dance Now. By the C&C Music Factory, rush, rush, paula Abdul. One More Try by Timmy T. Okay, number nine in the rankings of the top 10 of the 10 years in the 90s, whatever the fuck.
Scott McLean:The first year of the decade was transitional year, with the number of late 80s acts spilling over into the music, seeing a noticeable shift away from 80s pop and hand metal. Music tastes are a bit all over the place as alternative rock firmly establishes itself as the genre of choice. Now what happened? Mtv's unplugged makes its debut, although it was with the forgettable, a new wave band, squeeze. Now that I watched that and that wasn't forgettable. That wasn't forgettable. The thing that was funny about that.
