    Man, Dan Boeckner is like a music historian. It was great to hear his kinda background on the ones he picked.

    This is one of the best episodes I've seen. I've literally never listened to these guys but they clearly have a deep love and knowledge of music (and also impeccable taste). And you can tell its genuine, they're not just trying to name drop obscure bands. They're passionate about it

  • @kirilichushanka1357
    @kirilichushanka1357 6 лет назад +96

    These seem like the most interesting guys on the planet to talk to, they also know what they're talking about both genre wise and actual music wise, which can't be said for everyone in these videos.

      lukass smelkovs Dan is also one of the nicest, most genuine, least pretentious musicians I’ve ever talked with. Very cool dude.

    • @drewkatchen805

    One of my favorite episodes of this show, by far. Their knowledge and advocacy of what influenced them is excellent, and I quite enjoy the seeming leitmotif of seminal Canadian bands that Canada chooses to ignore. In that same spirit, I feel that Americans often overlook this incredibly sharp and tuneful band. They carry within them all the great germs of the music they admire: urgency, angularity, ambitious songs in a tight pop format, emotion in the face of machinery.

  • @matthewrabbit
    @matthewrabbit 6 лет назад +20

    It's really nice to hear the influences of Dan's choices on his work with Wolf Parade and Handsome Furs, especially with John Foxx and Skinny Puppy. It's also great to see both of them rep the under-appreciated musical acts of Canada.

  • @samwoodson9603
    @samwoodson9603 2 года назад +5

    Recommend everybody listen to the music podcast Fortune Kit. Dan’s one of the hosts and it’s crazy how casually he just spews out knowledge of all sorts of topics.

    Wolf Parade's so underrated! "At Mount Zoomer" is one of the best, most singular, rock albums I can remember.

    • @TheShadowofDormin
      @TheShadowofDormin 5 лет назад +4

      I AGREE! Wolf Parade's Apologies to the Queen Marty was one of the most important albums of my life and even after the fact I consider it to be one of the few perfect all around albums I can think of. Definitely still in my top 5 or 10 of all time

    Wow, Električni Orgazam! Their second album. That's a surprise. He's on point about the punk/post punk/new wave scene there at that time. They just reissued some of the most iconic albums on their 40th anniversary. One of them is the first album of Električni Orgazam, their best album.

    I agree 100% on what he said about Skinny Puppy. They're true legends of the Industrial/Electronic/Gothic genre. So far Wolf Parade & Grimes have given a shout out to S.P. on Amoeba: What's In My Bag.

    Brooklyn hip-hop group Non Phixion, particularly ILL Bill, were such big fans of Voivod that he went high and low searching for them to see if they can design their logo as homage. That's why their logo looks so similarly to what Voivod were doing.
