EMF

What is it?

By EMF, who did a song called Un-unbelievable.

Oh.

That's what this is.

He was only fifty-five.

That's sad news.

Uh, so sending out love to his family and friends and the rest of the band, EMF.

Yes.

Mm-hmm

... is EMF with Unbelievable.

Oh.

Yes.

But, uh, it sampled him for the, "Oh," and then poet Guyan Kane.

Mm-hmm.

And strangely enough, the guitarist of, uh, EMF, uh, wrote the riff around, like, flamenco and classical blues-

Mm-hmm

Oh yeah, so we were courting and we had a, you know what we danced to actually, which is not even a slow song.

EMF.

Unbelievable.

You're unbelievable.

So, of those... aforementioned Milltown Brothers, Slinky, came out this year.

The Farm, Spartacus, EMF, Schubert Dip, which is alright, it's a bit electronic, but still somewhere on there.

Flowered Up, Life of Brian, Northside, Chicken Rhythms, and Sonji, Paris Angels.

So where does, where do you think Leisure fits in with all those, using that template?

it's like about his son might be A sociopath, too, or, like, a guy who's, like, killing only bad people or something like that.

But, yeah, there was also the young Dexter where he's, like, you know, played by an Irish guy and is, like, living in the 90s watching, like, Parker Lewis Can't Lose and, like, listening to EMF.

Like, literally, and I'm sorry if you're listening and this describes you, but...

If you come in and you're just like, so, we got this IP, and it was about a normal-aged man, you'd be like, what does that mean? You'd be like, don't worry about it.

Uh, I have not seen it, but it, it features an excellent cast, including the feature film debut of Jude Law.

And it features a, an extremely stacked soundtrack featuring such acts as Stereo MCs, Salt-N-Pepa, uh, EMF, and Utah Saints.

Oh, Utah Saints are on this soundtrack.

Yeah, yeah.

Yes.

I said we were all hugely affected by the passing of Derry from EMF a little while ago last month.

I think that's because I said to somebody at the time, there's 10 people in the world who know what it's like to be me or to be us and that's the five members of our band and the five members of their band because that for about three or four years they did everything that we did you know we both played the same gigs tours we went on the same trains and planes at different times do you know what i mean but we

walk

And people will say, oh yeah, but there was loads of bands who played circuits at the time.

But a lot of our there's even more things that drew us together.

So, you know, obviously we were at the time, the only two bands in the early 90s that had that level of sort of great success in the US was us and EMF.

You know, they were at number one and we were at number two in one week.

Two more dogs now, and these are much wilder.

In a few minutes, EMF.

Yes, those You're Unbelievable Boys, with a great track from their undeservedly ignored second album, Stigma.

That's Dog.

Burning sands.

Lovely.

EMF's song was almost certainly inspired by the Stooges' earlier classic with James Atkins singing, and I could be your God, I could be your love, and I could be your dog.

Unfortunately, the rave-happy kids who propelled EMF's previous tracks Unbelievable and I Believe to major chart success were not ready for this shift from technopop to a darker, harder rock.
