BKT.
Jason ChaffetzHOST
The answer is the flaming lips.
Jason ChaffetzHOST
Honestly, did not have that on the tip of my tongue.
Jason ChaffetzHOST
How'd you do on the quiz? It got progressively more difficult, didn't they? Well, either way, you can always try again tomorrow.
Jeff Skin WadeHOST
Okay.
Kevin TurnerPANELIST
The Flaming Lips, Skin.
Jeff Skin WadeHOST
What?
Kevin TurnerPANELIST
Yeah, Wayne Coyne.
Ben RogersHOST
What's wrong with you? They might have popped up on the OC soundtrack for a minute.
Ben RogersHOST
Do you think the Eels will be in the top 25 greatest bands of all time that we're doing here in 30 minutes?
Jeff Skin WadeHOST
The Flaming Lipskin.
Jeff Skin WadeHOST
What? Yeah, Wayne Coyne.
Jeff Skin WadeHOST
That is way too high.
Simon RaymondeGUEST
But luckily, I did not lose it, and I signed the band for two albums, the first two records, and the first one sold a million copies, you know, in Europe, and it was the thing that really sort of attracted, or I don't know if that's the right word, but it certainly was a flag waver for the label, and it sort of brought more bands to, the label kind of was more attractive to other bands.
Simon RaymondeGUEST
I mean, we signed the Flaming Lips off the back of Fleet Foxes because I think, you know, any band that's coming out of a major label deal that's maybe thinking, well, I kind of want to work with a cool indie who can actually sell some records, they looked at Bella Union and thought, well, they just sold a million Fleet Foxes records, so they must know what they're doing.
Christopher GuestSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Yeah.
Simon RaymondeGUEST
I mean, I don't think we really did know what we were doing still at that point, but I think we showed that we could sell a lot of records and that certainly helped us develop as a label.
BirchHOST
I wish I had the brain to write songs like this.
BirchHOST
It's interesting, too, having it this close to the Flaming Lips album.
BirchHOST
Hadn't necessarily equated those two in my head, and especially when Everything Means Nothing to Me came on, I thought, wow.
BirchHOST
There's a connection to the sort of production that's going on in the 2000s and this kind of ideas.
Bryan AtchisonGUEST
Um, but I was a show choir kid.
Bryan AtchisonGUEST
So musical theater stuff is in there, but our show was kind of based off of bands like the flaming lips or of Montreal or the biggest one's probably Dan Deacon.
Bryan AtchisonGUEST
Have you heard of Dan Deacon before? I know the other two, but I
DevinHOST
haven't listened to
DevinHOST
I like a good gimmick.
DevinHOST
I feel like Hissing Fonda before, like when they first started, they were, I feel like we're very, yeah, we're going to talk about Father Adventure.
DevinHOST
When they first started, they seemed very Flaming Lips inspired.
DevinHOST
Then they seemed extremely Parliament inspired.
Ben EisenHOST
Superman by R.E.M.
Ben EisenHOST
The Flaming Lips, Do You Realize? Wall of Voodoo with Mexican Radio.
Ben EisenHOST
Amsterdam by Coldplay.
Ben EisenHOST
The Better Part of Bravery by The Decemberists.
Matt DevineGUEST
I was listening to the bands that, you know, were left of the dial, as they say, all that college rock, you know.
Matt DevineGUEST
And so when all that music kicked in, it started off really cool and weird with Nirvana and the Flaming Lips and Teenage Fan Club.
Matt DevineGUEST
And then it kind of devolved into just what the corporations could package easily.
Matt DevineGUEST
And then you got your candle boxes and all that awful stuff.
Jason AdamsGUEST
a lot of times talent by talent buyers are thinking, would that fit? Would that work? But yeah, we've been so lucky.
Jason AdamsGUEST
And, and, and, uh, this year we also got to play with, uh, flaming lips and Yola tango.
Jason AdamsGUEST
And, uh, we did a couple of shows with dinosaur junior again, through Pete knowing Jay Mascus and, uh, He actually had Pete come up and play on Just Like Heaven.
Jason AdamsGUEST
Both nights we played with Dinosaur Jr., so that
