In this episode, we dive into the storied career of Blur, one of the most iconic bands to emerge from the British music scene in the 1990s. We start by exploring their early days in London, when Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James, and Dave Rowntree first came together to form a band that would become synonymous with the Britpop movement. We'll discuss the band's rise to fame, starting with their debut album, Leisure, and how they quickly became the darlings of the UK indie scene. With hits like "There's No Other Way" and "She's So High," Blur began carving out a unique sound that combined jangly guitars, catchy melodies, and Albarn's distinct vocals. Moving into the height of Britpop in the mid-90s, we examine Blur's transformation into cultural icons with their seminal albums Modern Life Is Rubbish, Parklife, and The Great Escape. We'll discuss how Blur, alongside Oasis, became one of the leading faces of the Britpop "Battle of the Bands," dominating the charts and headlines with their rivalry. This period marked a creative high point for the band, producing unforgettable hits like "Girls & Boys," "Parklife," and "Country House," which captured the zeitgeist of British youth culture. We'll delve into how Blur's sharp, satirical lyrics and their reflections on British society helped them stand out from their contemporaries. As the episode progresses, we look at the band's evolution in the late 90s and early 2000s, when they began experimenting with new sounds and distancing themselves from the Britpop label. We'll explore their self-titled album, Blur, and the shift towards a more lo-fi and alternative rock sound, influenced heavily by American indie music. The success of singles like "Beetlebum" and "Song 2" demonstrated Blur's ability to reinvent themselves and appeal to a broader, international audience. We'll discuss the band's internal struggles, including Graham Coxon's departure, and how these challenges influenced their music and dynamic. We'll then move to the band's hiatus and the members' individual projects, particularly Damon Albarn's formation of the virtual band Gorillaz, which further showcased his versatility as an artist. We'll explore how Blur's brief hiatus and eventual reunion for the Think Tank album in 2003 marked another significant shift in their sound, embracing more experimental and electronic elements. The episode will cover their triumphant return to the stage in the late 2000s, including their emotional reunion shows and the release of The Magic Whip in 2015, proving that Blur's relevance and creative spark were far from diminished.

Les Pogues se sont reformés le temps d'une chanson à l'enterrement de Shane MacGowan. Pour rappel le chanteur des Pogues s'est éteint " le 30 novembre, des suites d'une pneumonie, à l'âge de 65 ans. Ses funérailles ont eu lieu ce 8 décembre à Tipperary, près de l'endroit où Shane MacGowan a passé son enfance. Lors de la cérémonie, le joueur de flûte irlandaise des Pogues, Spider Stacy, a pris la tête de l'interprétation de "The Parting Glass", une vieille chanson celtique traditionnelle que le groupe avait enregistrée en face B du single "Dirty Old Town" en 1985. Les images sont à découvrir sur notre site. Dans une interview au magazine Les Inrockuptibles, le leader de Blur, Damon Albarn, a dit ce qu'il pensait quand on lui a demandé son avis sur l'album des Stones, Hackney Diamonds. Et c'est sans détours ! Albarn s'est lâché en ces termes : " Ma famille vit à Hackney. Et la manière dont les Stones ont présenté leur disque au Hackney Empire m'a dégoûtée. Ils n'ont jamais rien fait à Hackney, n'ont jamais joué là et n'ont jamais aidé quoi ou qui que ce soit là-bas. Ils se sont juste montrés. C'est du non-sens total. "Et quand on lui a demandé s'il " comptait capitaliser sur sa gloire passée quand il aurait 80 ans ", Damon Albarn a répondu du tac-au-tac : " Aucune chance. J'aime l'idée de ne me consacrer qu'à une chose en espérant toucher au sublime. Mais eux, ils deviennent de pire en pire. C'était le risque et je ne comprends pas cette obsession de toujours faire la même chose, en moins bien. Rival Sons vient de sortir son deuxième album de l'année, Lightbringer, qui fait suite à Darkfighter. Au micro de Cyril Wilfart, le groupe, qui était de passage pour un concert flamboyant à l'AB au mois de novembre, a décrit comment il envisageait le futur. C'est Scott Holiday, le guitariste, qui explique ne pas avoir de réponse claire à cela : "Pour le moment, on se concentre sur nos deux albums. On veut voir l'effet que les morceaux produisent sur le public en live. Je ne sais pas dire ce qu'on fera dans le futur, mais notre but est d'évoluer, de ne pas se répéter, de faire quelque chose de nouveau à chaque fois, sans toutefois perdre notre identité". Pete Townshend et Roger Daltrey vont discuter d'éventuels plans pour 2024 pour The Who ! Les Who ont donné, en août dernier, un concert légendaire accompagné du célèbre Royal Philarmonic Concert Orchestra. Et Pete Townshend ne compte pas s'arrêter là…Townshend a affirmé qu'il " était temps que Roger Daltrey et moi déjeunions ensemble pour parler de ce qui viendra ensuite. Ce concert ne peut pas marquer la fin de quoi que ce soit, sauf la fin d'une période dans l'histoire du groupe. Nous discuterons de ce qui est faisable, fun et lucratif. Roger n'est pas contre le fait d'en parler. Il a donc accepté l'idée de cette discussion. Cette déclaration arrive après que Townshend ait révélé, en 2019, être en train de travailler sur un nouvel opéra rock, de même que sur d'autres nouvelles chansons. Et à propos d'opéra rock, on signalera que Tommy reviendra à Broadway en 2024. Slash, Billy Gibbons et Gov't Mule reprennent Lynyrd Skynyrd ! Cela s'est passé ce samedi lors du 32ème Christmas Jam 2023, organisé par Warren Haynes. Les images sont à découvrir sur notre site Ed Sheeran a joué en première partie surprise au concert londonien du groupe The Darkness ! Ed Sheeran a joué six chansons avant le concert de The Darkness au Roundhouse de Londres le samedi 9 décembre. Il est ensuite apparu pour chanter et jouer de la guitare avec le groupe de Justin Hawkins sur "Love Is Only A Feeling". L'admiration mutuelle entre ces artistes n'est peut-être pas si surprenante. Ed Sheeran avait aussi invité le groupe à assurer sa première partie lors de deux concerts à Ipswich en 2019.

Britpop is back, baby! Nach acht Jahren Pause sind die 90er-Legends Blur zurück mit «The Ballad of Darren». Oder wie es Frontmann Damon Albarn sagt: «The first legit [Blur] album since '13',» und diskreditiert damit die letzten zwei Alben seiner Band. Zwei Jahrzehnte nach Blurs besten Zeiten kündigten die Jugendfreunde letzten Herbst zwei Reunionkonzerte in Originalbesetzung in London an. Damit sie nicht nur aus nostalgischen Gründen nochmals ausgiebig touren können, schrieb Albarn während seiner Gorillaz -Tour das neunte Blur-Album und bringt den Britpop in alter Frische zurück - wie «13» und davor. «The Ballad of Darren» ist Album der Woche.

Royal Blood a fait son retour en mai avec un nouveau single " Mountains At Midnight " et des détails sur le quatrième album Back To The Water Below. Et voici aujourd'hui un nouvel extrait, " Pull Me Through ". Après leur troisième album Typhoons sorti en 2021, le duo rock de Brighton composé de Mike Kerr et du batteur Ben Thatcher reviendra avec ce prochain album le 1er septembre. On apprenait en janvier que le médecin légiste en charge du décès de Lisa Marie Presley souhaitait enquêter davantage sur les raisons de la mort de l'artiste de 54 ans. L'unique fille d'Elvis Presley est morte le 12 janvier après avoir été emmenée d'urgence à l'hôpital. Une ambulance avait été appelée et elle a reçu un massage cardiaque sur place. On apprend maintenant que c'est une obstruction intestinale qui a entraîné l'hospitalisation soudaine de la musicienne. . Par obstruction, on entend un étranglement de l'intestin grêle causé par une adhérence développée après une chirurgie bariatrique plusieurs années auparavant. Le concert hommage aux Foo Fighters en l'honneur de Taylor Hawkins, regretté batteur du groupe, a été nommé pour un Emmy. Il fait partie des cinq candidats dans la catégorie "(mixage sonore exceptionnel pour une série de variétés ou une émission spéciale). Le concert a été filmé en direct le 3 septembre 2022 au stade de Wembley à Londres. Dans cette catégorie, il se trouve face à " Bono & The Edge : A Sort Of Homecoming With Dave Letterman " de U2, " Elton John Live : Farewell From Dodger Stadium ", la 65e édition des Grammy Awards et " Saturday Night Live ". Damon Albarn, toujours très occupé, a révélé qu'il travaillait sur un nouvel opéra. Le leader de Blur et Gorillaz a expliqué qu'il met en musique pour la première fois la deuxième partie de La Flûte enchantée du dramaturge allemand Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Lui qui a déjà créé un opéra basé sur le scientifique élisabéthain John Dee en 2011. Cependant, Albarn admet qu'il a encore "beaucoup à apprendre" sur l'adaptation de La Flûte enchantée, deuxième partie, qui a été publiée en 1807 et s'inspire de l'opéra original en deux actes de Mozart de 1791 sur un livret allemand d'Emanuel Schikaneder. Récemment, le bassiste de Guns N' Roses, Duff McKagan, a eu des mots gentils à l'égard de Corey Taylor, qu'il a comparé à un "jeune Bruce Springsteen" et "une véritable source d'inspiration". Lors d'une récente apparition dans l'émission The Rockman Power Hour, le leader de Slipknot a été interrogé sur ce qu'il ressentait après avoir entendu ce compliment du bassiste. Il s'est dit reconnaissant, d'autant qu'il s'autodécrit comme quelqu'un avec qui il n'est pas "facile" de s'entendre. --- Classic 21 vous informe des dernières actualités du rock, en Belgique et partout ailleurs.

As broadcast March 23, 2023 with plenty of candles to blow out.  Tonight we start the show highlighting the birthday boy Damon Albarn, celebrating his 55th trip around the sun.  Now a living icon, Albarn even if you're familiar with his big projects is a colossus in the studio and beyond, responsible for most likely far more than you know.  After we blew out the candles on the cake, we got into our Sampled funk & soul first hour with tunes from DeRobert & The Half-Truths, Brooklyn Funk Essentials, Les Imprimes, and some refurbished live stuff from Elis Regina as well.  Hour 2 we had a lot to get through as Dan Lloyd's local stalwarts of stage Malarkey are finally out with their debut album!  We also had big stuff from Geese, Fall Out Boy, and Bouncing Souls along with more worship of Robert Smith, who is a true hero of the people.Tracklist:Part I (00:00)Tony Allen & Damon Albarn – Go BackDeRobert & The Half-Truths – Judgement (GED Soul Version)Dragonfruit – Honeymoon PhaseTinariwen feat Fats Kaplin – Tenere DenBella Brown & The Jealous Lovers – What Will Leave You BehindBrooklyn Funk Essentials feat Alison Limerick – Rollin (Love Will Be Here)Part II (33:45)Les Imprimes – If ILady Wray feat Ghostface Killah – Piece of MeBacao Rhythm & Steel Band – Hotline BlingFlavien Berger – JerichoOrions Belte – Lucid DreamingElis Regina – O Trem AzulElis Regina – Maria MariaPart III (64:49)Fall Out Boy – Heartbreak Feels So GoodBlack Country, New Road –  Across the Pond FriendLemon Twigs – In My HeadGeese – 3D CountryKate Davis – Long Long LongPart IV (95:14)Bouncing Souls – Ten Stories HighMalarkey – Loose EndsTrophy Eyes –  Blue Eyed BoyThe White Stripes – Icky ThumpDef Leppard – Pour Some Sugar on MeThe Cure – Friday I'm in Love

Damon Albarns Kreativität scheint unaufhaltsam, und dank den richtigen Gäst:innen bleiben Gorillaz auch auf Album 8 allerhöchste Liga: Nicht derart tischbombenartig wie «Song Machine», aber nicht so reduziert wie «The Now Now», und es gibt zwar kein neues «Clint Eastwood» aber die Platte hat POP! Und dieser POP! ist kein Zufall: «Cracker Island» wurde mit Überproduzent Greg Kurstin (u.a. Foo Fighters, Adele) in Kalifornien angerissen, während Damon Albarn in Los Angeles mit Netflix über einen möglichen «Gorillaz Movie» verhandelte. Das Filmprojekt geriet ins Stocken, und Albarn schrieb sich in Kurstins Studio kurzerhand den Frust vom Leib. Nach 3 Tagen stand das Grundgerüst des Albums. Als Gastmusiker:innen sind in LA ansässige Megastars wie Stevie Nicks von Fleetwood Mac, Bad Bunny, Beck, Tame Impala oder Thundercat mit dabei. Der Entstehungsprozess auf Durchreise erklärt den spontanen Charme von «Cracker Island», das stellenweise an die beiden auf Tour geschriebenen und weniger vollgestopften Gorillaz-Platten «The Fall» (2010), «The Now Now» (2018) oder an Damon Albarns auf Island aufgenommenes Soloalbum «The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows» (2021) erinnert. Gleichzeitig bieten Gorillaz beim Nachfolger des ultradichten Lockdown-Albums «Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez» (2020) eine Fülle an Stimmen, sowie eine Stil- und Genre-dichte, die ihresgleichen sucht: Reggaeton mit Bad Bunny, Disco-Funk mit Tame Impala, Folk mit Beck, hier etwas Bedroom-Pop mit Drummachine und dort stadiontaugliches Hitparaden-Material. Wie immer verlosen wir das Sounds! Album der Woche: Gewinnt «Cracker Island» auf CD täglich live im Radio.

Taylor Swift hit back at a music industry peer for claiming she doesn't write her own songs, dismissing her contributions to her music as "co-writing."Damon Albarn, songwriter and frontman for the band Blur, told the Los Angeles Times in an interview published Sunday that much of modern music is popular because of the "sound and the attitude" behind it rather than the songs being "good."When the interviewer mentioned Swift as an example of an "excellent songwriter," Albarn responded that "she doesn't write her own songs.""I know what co-writing is," Albarn said. "Co-writing is very different to writing. I'm not hating on anybody, I'm just saying there's a big difference between a songwriter and a songwriter who co-writes."Swift, who has been credited as a songwriter on all of her studio albums, responded to his comment on Twitter. She said she was once a fan of Albarn, but even if he didn't like her songs, he didn't have to discredit her work."I write ALL of my own songs," Swift said. "Your hot take is completely false and SO damaging."Albarn replied to Swift on Twitter, saying the greater conversation he had with the interviewer was "reduced to clickbait.""I apologise unreservedly and unconditionally," Albarn wrote. "The last thing I would want to do is discredit your songwriting. I hope you understand."In 2010, Swift released her third album, "Speak Now," as the sole credited songwriter. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for best country album, and her song "Mean" won best country song and best country solo performance.Swift told Rolling Stone in 2019 that she took on the entire album specifically as a reaction to comments about whether she wrote her own music.She also addressed those who doubted her songwriting success in her 2019 acceptance speech for Billboard's Woman of the Decade Award. Swift said she saw how people tried to "explain away" a woman's success."I saw as a female in this industry, some people will always have slight reservations about you," Swift said. "Whether you deserve to be there, whether a male producer or co-writer is the reason for your success, or whether it was a savvy record label.

This episode, we take a look at the "virtual band",  Gorillaz -- their debut and follow up, Gorillaz and Demon Days respectively. This project is headed by Damon Albarn of Blur, with art from Jamie Hewlett. While Blur never really broke in America, the Gorillaz sure did. In this episode we discuss Brit pop, rivalries, the lore of the band, Albarn's unabashed addiction. and more.

For this week's Record Club, Jake and Ryley are pitting two beloved sleeper hit concept albums from bands masterminded by the prolific Damon Albarn: Blur's bleary, deconstructive breakup album 13, and Gorillaz' environmentally-minded swampy disco trip Plastic Beach. How do the two records compare, what do they tell us about Albarn's approach to building a record around a core theme, and what is it about these particular records from each artist that makes them such enduring fan favourites, even while being less commercially successful than their predecessors?

Taylor co-writes? "That doesn't count. I know what co-writing is. Co-writing is very different to writing. I'm not hating on anybody, I'm just saying there's a big difference between a songwriter and a songwriter who co-writes." Okay. Doesn't Damon have a point here?

PEOPLE ARE MAD! This week the boys discuss Taylor Swift and Damon Albarn's exchange over twitter after Albarn made comments alluding that Taylor doesn't actually write her songs. Later, Neil Young slams Spotify and writes to his team demanding his songs be taken off of the platform due to Joe Rogan's spread of misinformation on The Joe Rogan Experience. Lastly, will When We Were Young Festival be able to be pulled off and survive it's current hype or will it let many fans down in the process?  NEWSLETTER SIGN UP: https://mailchi.mp/2fd94bbdb746/untitled-page Socials:   Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok: @TheBiztape Email: thebiztapepodcast@gmail.com Sources: Taylor Swift Slams Damon Albarn: https://variety.com/2022/music/news/taylor-swift-damon-albarn-write-songs-1235161967/  Neil Young, Spotify and Vaccine Misinformation: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/neil-young-demands-spotify-remove-music-vaccine-disinformation-1290020/ https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/neil-young-open-letter-president-donald-trump-8551428/ When We Were Young Fest: https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericfuller/2022/01/23/when-we-were-young-festivals-ticket-sale-teaches-a-valuable-lesson-random-information-from-the-internet-is-not-always-reliable/?sh=26eb64442e08 https://www.nme.com/news/music/when-we-were-young-festival-adds-second-date-after-first-sells-out-3144816 https://www.whenwewereyoungfestival.com/ Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

A collaboration with several orchestral musicians from Reykjavík served as the foundation for Albarn's new solo album, The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows.

After being part of the bands Blur and Gorillaz, Damon Albarn is out with a new solo record called 'The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows.' Damon Albarn talks about how the project was originally intended as an orchestral piece inspired by the landscapes of Iceland.  “I've been staring out of my window at this amazing landscape for years and years and years in Iceland and [thought] it would be amazing if I could get like-minded orchestral musicians to sit there with me and play the landscape. Play the movement of the clouds and the transference of rain into snow and the birds and the sea and the ravens flying outside,” Albarn says.

Damon Albarn catches up with Kyle Meredith to talk about his new solo album, The Nearer The Fountain More Pure The Stream Flow, the original concept of writing and recording it in Iceland, and the vibrations that attract his various projects around the world. The Blur/Gorillaz frontman also tells us how his childhood drawings inspired "Combustion," the ghosts that haunt "The Tower of Montevideo," and the complicated layers of "Particles." Albarn also tips us off on what Gorillaz are up to, which includes a Bad Bunny collab, and how the next season of their Song Machine may be shorter videos made for TikTok.

Shapeshifting musical guru Damon Albarn positioned his piano to overlook the sea in Iceland to write and record his brand new solo album, “The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows.” Single “Royal Morning Blue” captures the sound of rain turning into snow in a way only Albarn can. 

Best remembered for containing Damon Albarn's one film acting performance, as wet-behind-the-ears aspiring gangster Jason, this week's Pop Screen argues that Antonia Bird's 1997 movie Face deserves more credit. A British gangster movie made in that brief moment before Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels inspired every screenwriter in the country to write a gangster movie, it's a brutal postmortem on eighteen years of Conservative government disguised as a brutal heist-gone-wrong thriller. Those unexpected political grace notes - including an eyebrow-raising opening cameo! - are among the topics discussed by Mark and Graham in this episode, along with the film's savvy use of genre icon Ray Winstone, the rise and fall of the Blair-era London gangland thriller, and the baptism of fire Albarn received at the hands of Quadrophenia's Phil Davis. We also praise the late, much-missed Bird and her writer Ronan Bennett, and if that sounds like we've not left much room for discussion of Blur... ...well, you're right, but that's a fine reason to donate to our Patreon where we're about to release an exclusive episode about the band's 1993 documentary Starshaped. It's the latest in our monthly Pop Screen bonuses; we've also just put out an episode of our other exclusive podcast Director's Lottery about Robert Wise, covering his films The Day the Earth Stood Still and Odds Against Tomorrow.

As the 1990s came to a close, so too went the commercial viability of Britpop music. What was once a sales juggernaut in the UK and a well-regarded if obscure staple of alternative rock in the US gradually began to die out as musical tastes changed with the times. Blur, one of the biggest acts of this movement, took the opportunity to disappear for a little while, with lead singer Damon Albarn engaging in the highly successful collaboration Gorillaz, while the other members of the band explored other ventures.Blur would eventually regroup to record a new album; Think Tank, which would see release in 2003, and dove headlong into experimentation, distancing themselves from their classic Britpop sound, and delving in areas of hip-hop, worldbeat, dub, and electronic fusion. Think Tank would be a critical boon for Blur, who received high praise for the record, but their commercial fortunes suffered, and interpersonal tensions with recording and touring that occured within Blur's ranks would taint the record for Albarn and company, who broke up shortly after.To this day Think Tank has been dismissed by Albarn himself, and is regularly thought of as a lower-tier record in Blur's canon, but we're not so sure about that. On this episode of Jukebox Zeroes, Lilz and Pat welcome Kylie Wilson, the host of the ESC Pulse podcast, to the program. The three of them team up to attempt to find some solace in Think Tank's challenging listen.Local Music Feature: Arlen - "Rescue Me"

This week I chat with Fine Artist Jessica Albarn, well known for her insect and animal fine line drawings on paper that are often multi layered. She also produces her work with clay, glass, honey and wax. How does she create these pieces and what inspired her to become an artist?  Her commissions include Soho House, V & A and Mandarin Oriental Hotel. I ask about her Exhibitions and whether even after showing her artwork all over the world - does she still feel first night nerves? We also discuss her love of bees and the meadow she has developed in Devon to encourage wildlife and in which she created her stop motion film 'Life After Death'.   Podcast Cover Artwork: Karina Mansfield.

Our enthusiasm knows no bounds - even when it comes to naming genitals apparently. Another week brings another batch of legitimate and brilliant recommendations (The Hungover Games, Pobby and Dingan) and a slightly larger batch of the absurd/nauseating (Gallagher and Albarn literotica, childhood names for genitals etc), in what genuinely may be our most ridiculous episode yet. You'll love it. Our guest this week is the brilliant author, former lawyer and expert on love, Laura Mucha. Her book We Need To Talk About Love (Bloomsbury) is an international journey through the lived lives of love, based on scrupulous research and extraordinary personal accounts, not least from Laura herself. Would you have expected someone with these accolades to be into flying trapeze? Nope, us neither. She's a wonder.

[GROUP PICK] We've covered a variety of concept albums in this podcast ranging from deeply personal stories, to epic fantasy tales... From bands that began as a concept to bands that eventually became a concept... But in the world of music, there is one concept that goes above and beyond the rest: Gorillaz. In March 2001, they debuted their first single "Clint Eastwood," with a music video to accompany it. The video spread across MTV and VH1 like wildfire, with its intense combination of 3D and 2D animation (pretty groundbreaking at the time) and fully formed characters in their own universe; full of graffiti, spirits, and zombie gorillas. Their debut album broke across genre boundaries and started an intriguing experiment: using Tank Girl artist Jamie Hewlett's characters 2-D, Noodle, Murdoc, and Russel, to create a fictitious band through which Damon Albarn (lead singer of Blur) could reinvent himself. Through four music videos, they established these characters as the real members of the band, never letting slip the concept of the virtual band by highlighting themselves. For four years, some wondered if that was going to be a one off, flash in the pan gimmick, but according to Hewlett, "If you do it again, it's no longer a gimmick, and if it works then we've proved a point." In 2005, they proved their point with the release of Demon Days. Certified six times platinum in the UK and double platinum in the US, Demon Days is easily their most successful work to date, and with good reason. Both by enriching the characters and mythos of the Gorillaz universe and collaborating with some of the best in the industry, Albarn and Hewlett managed to fully realize the vision they set out to create, and prove that they had a whole lot more to offer. Join Brad, Scott, Jon, and special guest Trevor Kolden (friend of Jon) as they break down all the concepts in Demon Days.

A cat ran up a tree and somehow it has something to do with host John Wynne leaving Los Angeles.

Come one, come all! We're looking for investors in the newest form of cryptocurrency! Today we along with repeat guest Clinton Degan listened to early investors Blur's self-titled 1997 album, and we managed to actually squeeze a healthy album discussion in there for once.

hmm andnothing about dance nothing abouthip-hop or nothing about what I do nowhmm because in Korea back in the daywhen I first started dancing and stuffpeople didn't really take this ascourier we didn't have much of jobsrelate to like hip-hop or dance anythingKorean b-boys were very popular backthen I mean still do but still it wasn'tlike their main job they had to worksomewhere else and pursue as a b-boy soit wasn't in my head that I could takethis as my career so it was locking notpopular in Korea definitely not okaydefinitely not popular how I got into itwas um it was type of kind of PE classlike you know you say here um cuzeducation is very important in Asiancountries in general yeah and we stay inschool like almost like 13 14 hours aday so and they put these PE classeslike one or two hours a weeknot even a like a week and I had tochoose indifferent activities and Ichose to learn dance so it wasn't evenlike locking it was just like dance ingeneral and when I first started takingthose classes I got to know aboutpopping and locking mainly so like Idon't even say I knew about hip-hop Iwas more like funk stylesso I was listening to funk musics Ididn't really listen to rap music untillike I came here so I was veryinterested in like funk music yes so youwere you you are introduced to funkmusic from the dancing classes that youtook yes because they'll play thosemusics to learn those foundationslocking foundations and poppingfoundation and was it a lot of likeAmerican funk or was it yeah yeah yeahwe did not we do not have funk musicKorea I think there's Korean funk nowthough yeah like now I mean like evenback then there was similarities but itwasn't for that yeah I guess it's blownup a lot more since you moved yes yesyes yes so that's how I got into it andso it was just in a way of hoppy likekind of way of kinda let the stress outyeah all those studying and staying inschool for how many hours studying inKorea sounds really crazy yes it'spretty intensemy high school we started 7 a.m. and weand like around 11 p.m. so what the heckso like it's pretty it's pretty intenseyou don't do anything except go toschool then pretty much but because it'sso competitive like some students wouldgo to like other places even study morewhat the heck so because it's reallyhard to get into universities andcolleges in Korea so that's just how itis now I know that's pretty crazy thingbecause I know how Americans are but youknow we only know what we have so I hadno idea that was pretty crazyyeah that sounds crazy to me I mean dangbecause typical school for an Americankidhigh school kid I guess we would startseven thirty or something and they wouldgo to like maybe three thirty orsomething you usually have six classesand there are all hour long and then youknow whatever break between them andwhatever we have like seven eightclasses to you know like classes arepretty similar but we just have to staythere to study your own that's crazyyes like they force you to study yourown man I would go home in high school Iwould just go home well I was doingmartial arts back then so I would gostraight to the studio take some classesor whatever or train and then I would gohome and do my homework as I watch TVand I mean like I half-assed all myhomework honestly but I got good gradesactually yeah but that lifestyle endsfor us around like 11 - oh reallylike that's that's it after that youhave to study but back into the topic sofor me because I was getting a lot ofstress you know like lifestyle in aKorean educational lifestyle so dancereally came to me as like outlet ofreleasing my stress mm-hmm so whether Iknew it or not it was becoming my in away my love because it was so stressfuland that was the only thing that I likedand those one hour two hours of a weekwas very special to mehmm so I just fed in love with thatwhole culture I didn't know what hip-hopwas at all and all I knew was just bumpstiles funk cultures so like my favoriteartists were like definitely James BrownBT Express you know like those oldschool school bandsgap band you know whatnotso and I thought America would love bunkstill - yeah so when I first came here20 years 30 years before that yeah yeahI got I had no idea was like back in thebase stuff like I thought people willstill love funk music people will stilldo the line dances you know like thosethose were my expectations yeah I meanpeople still do it but it's not as likebut not our age yes you know they areout there doing the whatever this shityeah yeah we can floss dance and stuffmm-hmmso that's that's how I got into in a wayof hip-hop but I wouldn't still sayhip-hop because um I was kind of gainstto 2007 modern hip hop's mmm so like Iwouldn't listen Lil Wayne out of listento jay-z like I wouldn't listen to themto me like James Brown is my you knowsyeah yeah yeah yeahso ya know I was actually the same way Iwas really into funk music - and a lotof the hip-hop I would listen to I waslike oh this it's cool like I like itbut there's something magical to the thefunk styles that actually influencedthese hip-hop artists I mean obviouslyhip-hop has its own magic behind it toobut it was just like I guess I mean whatdrew me into hip-hop was that you werelike making your own thing out of thispre-existing stuff that and you wouldget your inspiration from it and so Igot deep into like funk music soul musicand stuff and jazz music and so I wasreally into that and then a lot of thenew hip hop artists I was like I don'teven know who they are and so I didn'tstart listening to them till a littlebit later I mean I would listen to themoccasionally like jay-z Tupac and peoplelike that I used to be really big intoDell back then but yeah I mean I thatdefinitely came after the phone againstall kick that I was on mm-hmm and thatwas around like high school mm-hmmbut going back to like what you'retalking before you said that dance waslike a stress relief kind of thing foryou what yeah what do you think why doyou think that is like what about itrelieved the stress to youI think first because we didn't like Ididn't have much of activities likephysical activities so that's definitelylike main reason why it kind of likegave me a lot of freedom and likerelease he's like I'll be sitting downlike hours of day and that typical hourI cannot even sit you know like I haveto let it out and I have to like listento music and I had to basically move youknow so like that was definitely reasonwhy I think was that like the only timeyou got to actually listen to music no Iwill listen to Korean music so you knowlike now kpop is popular one that but Iwas listening to you know like when youstudy your own like you yeah yeah soyeah I will listen to music butphysically doing something with my bodywith music yeah that was differentyeah definitely it's yeah okay so yeahso it was I guess it yeah is thephysical activity mixed with this thismusic this hypnotic kind of like musicthat helped to relieve your stress andso did you do you think that that likeinspired your creativity to and that hadsomething to do with it um at the momentI did not know yeah but later now Ithink about it yes I think it did andthen it kind of like enhanced my likecreativity you know like my art form andwhatnot so like it you know it helped mea lot yeah I have like a theory thatthat music and I guess kind of tiprepetitive type sounds um it triggerssomething in our brains to make uslike turn off the thinking part of yourbrain and turn on the more likeinstinctual part of your brain which isto make you move usually you know likelike in instance of like you hear a bigsound you go and you run mm-hmm I thinkthat somehow repetitive music clicks onthat part of your brain but instead ofyou running and being scared or whateverit's like going oh no this isn't afearful time this is a time to becreative mm-hmm and so I think in thesame way that your instinct tells you torun it's now your instinct is tellingyou okay let we're not in danger anymorewe can do we can do some cool thingswith with our mind and our body to youknow hopefully like instill our survivalor whatever you know and so you know I'mnot some kind of scientist that knowsanything about this but that's just mytheory because it seems like thathappens to everybody you know wheneverthey are like painting or whateverwriting a lot of people will put onmusic and it just gets them into thisnew world where they can like shut off alittle part of their brain and turn on anew part of their brain yeah yeah youknow I guess just shut off what is itthe right side of your brain and turn onthe left side the mhmmm that's youranalytical side to your your artisticside mm-hmm so yeah I think somehow thatthat is involved with dancing and andwhy we're drawn to it it's like sosomewhat of a human instinct to want todo it yeah yeah you know you see littlekids dancing around doing that I don'tnotice your kid actually do that sheactually she actually dances she lovesmusic um you know like it's in theirblood it's in their blood her mybrother-in-law is music producer oh yeahso like we yeah we like shout out toRudi shout out the rule are you oh yeahwe yeah we try to feed her like goopmusics and like you know different dancemoves try to like show her differentdance moves andit's kind of amazing how this youngtoddlers they just move freely yeah youknow it's like amazing to see to methat's hip-hop when I see that cuz it'slike before hip-hop was even deemedhip-hop right before it ever had a namewhat was it it was people at like adance party just having fun yeah it waslike oh I like this part of the song orlike it looks like all the people anddanced for like this song let me playthat part of the song again dude it andthat's what a break was and then allthese people are just dancing and thenall of a sudden they just lose theirmind and jump on the floor and that wasbreaking yep and so when I see a littlekid do the same thing you know when Idon't know you know some song old townroad or whatever song on the radio andthe little kid starts dancing androlling around on the ground I'm likedude that is breaking right there that'ship-hop that's like we built up thewhole culture of breaking and hip-hopdance styles from that exact emotion Ilike seeing that and it seems to me likeit's the best argument that hip-hop islike is like a very deep instinctualthing for yeah human beings beings yeahso the next thing I wanted to talk toyou about is so like once you came toAmerica like how how did it feel comingto America and like integrating into ourculture and like what was thedifferences between here in Korea I knowyou talked about school and stuff butwhat else like cuz it seems like it'd bea huge culture shockit was definitely huge culture shock andI actually the first city I came herewas our Albarn in like yeah yeah yeahlike so which is kind of country townand like yeah like north of sack or soyeahokay it's in the mountain and I was likeliterally Olli like few Asians in thatwhole town oh yeah people freaked outseeing me back then like not a problemit's probably not because I saw thesushi restaurant in there I was likewhoa like people who eat agent food yeahyeah it was like it's changed but backthen it was pretty intensemmm like people like I wouldn'tunderstand why people stare at me likethat and like I didn't know it was kindof like I wouldn't say racism because Isay just because I was differentyeah I wouldn't say it was racist Ithink it's probably that because I wasdifferent yeah you just I mean cuz you Imean you might have been wearing yourcrazy Genie pants or something yeah youknow like they probably felt like I wassome type of clown you know like oh yeahmy fashion you know like how likedefinitely I didn't speak a word inEnglish oh that might go yeah so peoplejust but yeah I mean people in Auburn alot of them are kind of like morecountry type of people yeahmore rural they because it's a smallertown north east of Sacramento and youknow people people out there I guesshave kind of a slower lifestyle not notlike a city in style yet running aroundall the time it's like you know theythey'll have their big house somewhereand then you know go to work and stuffyeah but it's usually in the sea yeahhey yeah much as much love to my townthat's all I burn is a great pad is mytown much love I love I love Auburnactually well yeah it's it's to see youknow someone who looks like a kpop starwalking around they're kind of like ohwhat's going on that's good like yeahwhere's his horse so yeah um butdefinitely I learned how to enjoy likesmall things in life you know likewatching sunrise and sonsI never knew there was like such abeautiful thing I never knew that untilI got there hmm and like enjoying justlandscaping just little things in lifeis is there not a lot of them likenature type of areas in Korea we do wedo but I'm from like very busy citySeoul so okay so like our population islike crazy yeah as crazy it's like thebiggest city in yeah the population yeahpopulation is so crazy and lifestyle isjust so busy you know like I guess ifthat's all you've ever seen coming herewhere there's a lot more space you knowSacramento is kind of spread out anddefinitely when you go to Auburn it'seven more spread out yeah you know it'svery you know you it's not like a cityat all there's no buildings that aremore than two or three stone yeah yeahthat's what I loved about though like Icould really see the sky yeah I couldreally hear the birds sounds you knowlike those things kind of like open myeyes in a way those are the kind of goodparts and bad parts were like and yeahthese people will not accepting me yeswhat I was you know so I actually cameup with my English name because of thatbecause I had yeah Charlie I used tocall myself Charlie because I had traumalike if I say my name people will justinstantly react kind of like whoa whatis that what is that you know like whatis the Korean pronunciation like moonhang wouldn't hang that my full name ismoon hang Lee but hang like a lot ofpeople can't pronounce it's like I gottired of explaining like I do you knowwhat I'm gonna just go moon tell me thatyou that Lee is pronounced somethingdifferent and yeah yeah it's actually Eright yeah we we go by E and then we putlast name first so like my name is emoon hang but then here it changed toLee I don't know how like I don't knowi but you have to change it to Li huhand here I'm moon Lee yeah that's kindof weird so when you go to Korea it'slike you have a new identity or new likenames yeah names are completelydifferent so those little things oh andmy name being Korea horiuchi curt yeah Imean I guess whore you Chi cuz it's aJapanese name they're probably used tothat yeah Kurt I wouldn't I wouldimagine they would have troublepronouncing that because I know inJapanese they yeah now like Korea likewe we are very culturally open mm-hmm -especially American culture yeah yeah soyeah Kurt wouldn't be a problem okayKaruma be a problem oh no like aJapanese people call me cat oh becauseit the yeah the air is like kind of aweird sound yeah for them and doesn'treally exist in their language so soyeah so when you came to America you'rein Auburn and then you were dancingstill right or like or were you justworking at the sushi restaurant and youmay oh you meant surf boogie boogie yesshoutout to sir shoutout to cert boogieyeah so I wasn't like really dancing atfirst I was just going to school but uhmbecause of language barrier and becauseof you know like lack of humaninteraction I kind of got into depresseddepression hmm because you know like youwouldn't talk like I wasn't able to talkto human in general yeah it's like yaknow I can imagine that that's cut it'slike it's I mean it's kind of like howwhen my dog is like looking at me andshe tries to like tell me something Iknow my I don't know what your jobexactly dog probably is like crap that'sthe exact reaction I'll get from peopleyeah so and I didwant to hang out with my people likeKorea's oh did not want to speak Koreansin America yeah I was very strict onthat because I wanted to learn Englishand I wanted to that this culture asfully as possiblemm-hmm so so I kind of put myself in thesituation so I had to do something aboutitto get out of that depression mmmthat's when I you know started dancingagain on my own hmm so when was thatabout that was about like 2007 so thegap between starting and stopping it'sstopping in Korea and then starting backin America how long was that like I kindof stopped dancing because of you likeSAT back in Korea yeah so I had toreally focus on like studying okay so Istopped about an year in half you're inhalf I stopped and came back to came toAmerica so I'll say two years about twoyears I stopped and I was like this likeI have to do something and yeah Istarted dancing again on my own and yeahand I was a boss er because theywouldn't accept me as a server becausemy English wasn't good so I was bussingat this sushi restaurant and not in theOpera and Albarn didn't did not have asushi restaurant back then yeah theyprobably have one now but I don't theydo have they do have Asian food thereyeah so I had to like drive all the wayto Rockland and I used to work at thissushi restaurant and they kind of knew Iwas dancing this and that like in a wayand this customer came in and I guesssomeone told him that I was dancer andhe was like you know what I'll battleyou for your tip like that it's rudemean that's a hella rude right likethat's a hellbut to me it was like oh my god this islike real America I know you know like Iwatched the like you got served or likeall those real now I was like oh this isAmerica did you go and like put on yourvest and your glove because I had to gethat work later so I told him like a mybreak is in like an hour so I got waitright yeah I was like and then he wewent out there and then he played musicthrough his car yeah yeah and we juststarted battling and this was surfboogie right if this was surfing thewhite man the tall white man shoutout tosurf but then being a really great guyso after like you know like I think wedanced about like 20 30 minutes straightand then there was like one of craziestexperience in my life at the same timelike I never felt that happy in my lifelike I still remember how I feltyes I could not sleep that night becausehe was I was so happy about it dang sotight after the battle he was like oh mygod you're so dope obviously I did notunderstand what he was saying he saidnow I know but he was saying that likehow good I was and then he invited me tothis public performance with his crewyeah and it was a flexible flame yeahwhich was my crew which was your crewand which became my crew later yeah andbut there was a performance for MartinMartin Luther King Day yeah I stillremember that what was I there no youweren't there Convention Center andflexible Flav had a junior crewI forgot their names whose legendarylegendre's yeah yeah me and my brotherstarted that me my brother and a bunchof other people we started that crewyeah and eventually when we went toflexible Flav and thenand then yeah that crew continued on Ithink by the time you came there waslike a bunch of other people like Ithink we kind of revamped it and therewas a lot of people yes so like a youngyou know like junior crew it wasn'tmainly legendary steps not the flexibleFlav but we they put the Flexi Flav nameI think did Vince um did he put togetherthat show yes okay that's where I metVince yeah okay so I met bill wasn'tthere you weren't there huh you were notthere I mean I was going to UC Davis atthe time so I probably was so I metVince there and then I perform with thecrew flexible Flav and Vince was like sointerested in me Vince was veryinterested in me and then he was likewhy don't you come to our practice yeahyeah and that's how I like first startedmaking friends mm-hmm I still couldn'tspeak English but like I knew that heliked my dancing yeah people like mydancing so that's yeah that's how I knowI remember when you would come topractices you would just be like killingit like doing all your locking stuff andlike I don't know much about locking atthe time and so I would see you and Iwas like oh dang this guy's going offand I like I think I would walk up toyou and be like dude you're really tightand you'd be like yeah I know you likeyou know and then I think eventually youunderstood like what I was saying orlike or whatever I mean I don't know howsomehow we communicated it a little bitI mean it's probably just the languageof dance like yeah and you go oh you'redope and you're like I don't know whatdope means but then I go and I shakeyour hand you're like oh he probablymeans it I'm dope yeah it's it's verythat's pretty interesting about humanlike in erection yeah like you do notreally need language to communicate withpeople that is one thing I reallylearned through thethose moments yeah when you see someonego like ah during your like round thatprobably means that you dope youdefinitely understand who who'srespecting you and you definitelyunderstand who's disrespecting youwithout understanding language you knowso and because of dance and I'll sayhip-hop in general because we had verycommon interest mm-hmm so I think that'show I fell in love with hip-hop a lotbecause hip-hop he pop because ofhip-hop I could make my first friend inAmerica because of hip-hop I did notneed language to interact with humans sothere was very you know like literallylike Americans say hip-hop saved me yeaha little did that to me you know like Iwasn't in the ghetto but I was in likeyou know all that Bronx and all that butit literally saved me from gettingdepressed yeah no I can see that I meanI I feel like a lot of people would havethat same reactor they have a similarstory where hip-hop really did savetheir life whether they were actually inreal danger or they were just in a darkplace you know hip-hop does have thislike thing that it kind of just envelopsyour whole life and you're like it'shard to be in a in a bad mood while youare participating in it while you'redancing while you're like deejaying orwhatever like you're making art with youknow whatever things you're trying tomake art with it's hard to be mad atthat you're during during that so yeah Icould see how that would pull you out ofa bad place yeah and after that you knowwe made our own crew second nature andthat's everything how everything startedfor me yeah and so then when weonce we made second nature we were likeyou know our our mission was to likemake these show make really cool showsjust kind of pull in talents from allsorts of different places because youknow we all a lot of us all haddifferent styles right yes yes and thatwas like the the big thing that wewanted to make sure that we alwaysbecause we you know although we liked alot of those those groups that had kindof this one unit style like JA blockyshout out to them they have this stylewhere like you know it's Jabbawockeezmm-hmm they all like dance and it's hardto tell because they would all weartheir masks and it's like hard to tellwho's who because they're so in sync butfor us we were like let's uh let's tryto pull in all these different stylesand try to figure out how they blendtogether and make these make theseinteresting shows and so mm-hmm I thinkit was really fun to do that and Ireally I really miss doing that actuallyme tooI think we actually had that talk whenyou visit Vegas mm-hmm we definitely hadsomething going on with that you knowlike open minded people ya get togetherand try to be artistic yeah I think whatwas cool about it was that the vision wehad I guess the vision there wasn'tnecessarily like set in stone it waskind of like you'd have an idea andyou'd put it on the table and then Iwould have an idea and I'd put it on thetable and then Vince would have an ideaput it on the table and then somehow allof our brains just kind of clicktogether and then we just startcombining these ideas together and makesomething out of all of it and you knowand then that's what we would just ridewith that and then as we go more peoplewere throwing their input and stuff andwe would just take it off and we never Idon't think we we were good about kindof just saying let's just see whathappened yeah yeah we were really goodat that yeah just cause like sometimessomeone would have some wild-ass ideajust you I mean yeah I would have a lotof wild outside because I I tend to justsay like I might as well just say it andyou know basically throw the shit at thewall and hopefully you know I'm finewith throwing as much stuff as I have ata wall and if it all falls down it'sokay but if some of is good that's fineand so um I like to do that and so whenI would throw it out there sometimespeople would go like oh I wonder whatwould happen if we actually did mm-hmmgo somewhere sometimes though I thinkeverybody was really good about doingthat yeah yeah just thrown out therewild ass ideas mm-hmm and we were justall open-minded you know like we hadrespect I think that's what got usreally together yeah we suspect yeah Imean I think everybody in the group wasvery knowledgeable about their specificstyle of dance and they all everyone hada very creative they came from a verycreative place and so you know everyonewas open to these ideas and so we allwould just kind of roll with it yeah seewhat happens man yeah um so anyway solike with second natureeventually right you moved to Vegasright to do jabberwocky show mm-hmmright and so you did that for like ayear or so yeahso at first I because I was only likelocking dancer I didn't know any otherstyleI knew poppin a little bit yeahlocking and it wasn't really my my craftyou audition for those things yeah butum this one summer I think was summerVince had this ticket to be booedconvention in Las Vegas it was UBC rightyes yes that's mr. Frieza thinks thatsays yeah and Diane Diane Keaton Moreauuhremember her name but she got us ticketsand Vince was like um you want to go toVegas and I was like sure you know andit was actually close to my end of mytime being in America so like I justwanted to experience different things sowe went cuz your green card was runningyeah because of my visa was recentlyyeah and so I'll said yes and then wedrove down to LA and then we auditiondifferent things that was my firstaudition in like America like industryauditions and I experienced differentthings there and then we went to Vegasand Jabbawockeez performed at ubc mmmand okay this was driving around Vegasand I was like I told Vince a bitchstill remembers this moment tooI told Vince that hey I think this iswhat I want to do like danceI think dance is what I want to do and Idon't know how but I really want toperform here Vince remembers that yeahyeah and I told him that and year laterI think year later there was a ditionfor Jabbawockeez cuz they were gettingtheir first resident show as a hip hopcrew in Las Vegas yeah this was likemaybe two years after they they won thatABB show yeah yeah Erika's Best DanceCrew yeah there's the first season Ithink yeah they were the first winnerthey they were the first winner and sothey were making a lot I mean they hadnewly found popularity among like crowdsoutside of Dance c'mon the dancecommunity and so they were sitting up alot of stuff and then yeah getting aresident show in Vegas right and youwere one of the people that auditionedfor that yeah so I auditioned for justfor experience and luckily I got pickedand then I got picked to play a mainrole so I got to playtheir main role in Las Vegas and thatkind of put me as a first Korean to playmain role in Las Vegas and that's kindof how I started my career I think soafter playing main role in their showthey trusted me enough to give me a 30to run the whole theater because thatmoment we were getting offered inAustralia and East Coast as well so wehad to prepare for three different showswith three different cast yeah so theyyeah they trust me to run so they prettymuch gave me the theater Montecarlo backthe Monte Carlo theater now that it's apark MGM and we had about 1,500 seats wewere performing about seven shows a weekand we did that about here yeah we didthat about a year and yeah there wasthat just opened my eyes yeah that justopened my eyes to it and they moved toLuxor and that's when I kinda like umstopped not stopped dancing I was stilldancing but I was doing the morebusiness side of them so I was in themanagement side of the company and I wasthat's when I learned a lot aboutbusiness because you know millions ofdollars are just moving in front of myface yeah yeah that's where I learnedyeah was any of that flowing into yourpocket I'm like millions of dollarsthey're not gonna miss this one millionno no it's just you know I was a salaryno it was you were seeing the hugesuccess of the Jabbawockeez show likeblowing up because at around thattime it was like the Jabbawockeez had somuch fame you know little kids weredressing up as them for like Halloweenand stuffing it was like a culturalphenomenon at that time and so they hadthis show that was just blowing up andso I went from like a crew of peoplethat were you know basically dancing ata studio in in Sacramento and variousother places in California to like thisshow that was you know how many shows anight like right now I believe they'redoing ten shows a night at MGM right andthey were filling out their crowds sothere's tons of money coming here so itwas like a huge probably like businessshocked yes like oh dang we can we havewe can pull in money like that yes Iliterally so cuz they had a like threedays deal it was just it was supposed tobe three days performing but it becameten years contract with MGM so I sawthat whole progress in front of my faceyeah that's crazy so and yeah like theygave me opportunity to learn and trustme toorunning yeah for them so big shout outto Jabberwocky shout-out to JabbawockeezI would put a mask on right now but Idon't have a mask yeah when I get a maskdo you have a mask yeah I do I still Istill have masks that I were in the showdo you ever you ever just put it on likeat home and just like look at yourselfin your handsome fellowyeah Jabbawockeez open my eyes changedmy career and taught me a lot of thingsthey're still my mentors yeah they'restill my mentors whenever I strugglewith this you know like I go to them andtalk to them and whatever I can do forthem I'll gladly do yeah yeah yeah andthey're still doing their shows outthere and yeah they're they're stilldoing amazing they just finishedto worry in China or Japan they'repreparing new show in at MGM um they'rejust you know working yeah working veryhard yeahso after Java you went to do the Cirqueshow which is Michael Jackson yeah andso how what was that like cuz that waslike a brand-new thing just like thatCirque was trying to put on in Vegas andso you were like the first the first youknow group of people to like come to thedo that show right they had actuallycreation members okay so I was kind oflike I was one of first people to jointhe crew other than creation member okayso they created show in Montreal Canadaoh and then they did like ear before Ijoined okay and then they you know lateand then they moved it yeah change somecast and then that's when I joined andbrought you in and then evolved the showto what it is now yes yeah and you werehow you helped with the evolutionprocess right in a way but I wouldn'ttake too much credit for Cirque duSoleil because um a lot of things werecreated before I joined and because it'sa big corporation there's not a lot ofroom for me to change thingsoh I see because there's a lot of likeyou know contracts and rules and youknow that's one thing about working atJabbawockeez and working at Cirque it'sa big difference because Jabbawockeez Ireally took the ownership and I care Iguess because I the way I look at itit's like Cirque a lot of that comesfrom like circus like right it comesfrom an actual circus like establishedI don't know what how to call it butwhereas Java was like it came straightfrom like a dancer hip-hop community andso you had these people that werealready they're very creative and they'dlike to collaborate with each other tomake something whereas like I feel likethe circus mentality was more like theyhave they do the creation and then theyhave the performance and then they pullin all the talent and they go okayhere's what it ismhm so Cirque du Soleil and has verystrict rules and like still nowadays ourshow and beetles love there's a showcalled beetles love by Cirque de Soleilthose are the two main shows that hasdance is there like main thingso using dancers are still very new toto settle yeah so they don't really havethat dancer culture and then so theystill they're still trying to build thatculture in it especially with our show alot of hip-hop dancers are in it sothat's where like they're still tryingto figure things out feel it feels likeit yeah that's yeah so yeah a lot of newculture a lot of new things for them tooand yeah I'm just part of it and what doyou think about how they've embracedhip-hop do you think they're doing it ina good way or like it do you think it'sgood for the culture the way they'reembracing it or do you wish that theymaybe like did something a little bitdifferent or like what do you think in Iguess from the standpoint of like thebest thing for the hip-hop culturemm-hmm I don't think not yet theyinfluenced that much in hip-hop cultureokaybecause cert is just trying to takesomething and change too in the intotheir culture because lay isself is a big culture you know likeclown you know so sir it's a circus andthen they're saying I'm gonna pull inthis dance element into what we alreadydid exactlywhereas Jabba is dance job I see popyourself in yeah yeah and they'repulling in you know whatever into thatshow but it's just it's dance yeahthat's what it is okay so I think um Iknow I don't know if I can talk about itright nowoh yeah you don't have to talk about itif there's some kind of NDA or whateveryou got but I don't work for Soto slaveforever so I might just say it um I knowthey're working on making hip-hop showokay a Cirque du Soleil that's right yaknow but I don't know how that's gonnaturn out to be honest yeah uh I mean Iguess the way that I look at it is likethey have a big platform to and a lot ofeyes on it that probably don't knowanything about hip-hop mhm and so when Ilook at it and I go okay well they'reintroducing people into hip-hop mm-hmm Ithink that's a good thing and I thinkmaybe the there's ways they could maybedo it better and I'm not speaking aboutsort specifically but I know thatthere's there's good ways to do that andmaybe like less good ways but I thinkoverall it's good that hip-hop is beingintroduced to peoplemm-hmm I wouldn't say it's it's bad inany way but so I think it's at least astep in the right directionmm-hmm to have a hip-hop show cuz likeyou know when if someone who had no ideawhat hip-hop is goes in to see the showand they go oh what is that theywouldn't have had that initial interestif they hadn't experienced thatmm-hm and so I'm hoping that you knowsay like you know 50% of the people thatwalk into the show go oh wow what isthat and then 10% of that go to look upactually what it is or maybego take a hip hop class mm-hmm and thenthey start learning more about it that'slike getting you know 5% of the peoplethat were introduced you know into thereal kind of hip-hop scene that so Ithink it's a good thing and then the andthen the 50% of people that saw it andthen didn't you know didn't necessarilylook into it or take a class there atleast familiar with it someone they'dsee it again in their life they're likeoh I remember that that's this thingthat I saw in Vegas or whatever mm-hmm Iwonder what that is it seems to like bemore prominent now especially like youknow if they see like breaking in theOlympics which is coming in like fouryears or whatever they're gonna see thatagain and going oh wow that's cool Iwonder what's up with that and then youknow I think more and more people getexposed to it a certain percentage ofthem are gonna be interested in itinterested in the the I guess the thedeep underground scene of what it is youknow get like deeply involved in it Ihope I hope it does you know I hopepeople actually think that they you knowbut as you know like you know ourgenerations it's really hard to get deepinto something yeah that's kind of how Ifeel like you know it is and I thinkthat's maybe because there's not a lotof resources to jump into it right likeso if if I went to a Vegas show and Isaw you locking in you know in your inMichael Jackson's show and I go ohthat's cool what is that and then I goon to YouTube and I you know I don'tknow what locking is so I type inMichael Jackson dance you're probablynot gonna find locking you know what Imean you're gonna probably find a lot ofcool dancing and stuff so I think ifthere's more resources out there so thatwhen someone who does see that like sayat the Michael Jackson's show and thenthey do like some you know search someI'll call it naive search of what it isthey're able to find what the real stuffis so when they type in Michael Jacksonand then they see someone who goes likeoh here's the dance that was in theMichael Jackson show this is actuallycalled locking boom they see it oh youknow who else here's some history oflocking here's Don Campbell lock here'sall these you know all these otherpeople and stuff and here's like somebattles that happen a month ago you knowhere's a scene here's you know whateverso it kind of pulls you down the rabbithole so I think maybe it's hard to getdown the rabbit hole at the moment but Ithink we're getting to that point thoughit's happening I think you know with ageof the Internet mm-hmm there'sdefinitely resources on the Internetyeah but how easy they are to find Idon't know I think it's getting harderto find to me you do yeah because thereare too many 20 informations and yeahthere's not a lot of regulations of thatyou know like there's a yeah there are alot of people that'll go in there andsay this is the real things and they'relike yeah this is locking in it's like Ithink that's just you know having aseizure but yeah going back to that um Idon't know I can't really tell about howCirque de Soleilum influencing hip-hop culture ingeneral but it's influencing hip-hopdancers for sure it's opening a lot ofdoors um we're making good money mm-hmmwith the great benefit you know that'sit's literally heart like impossible toget as a dancer yeah like having it wasunheard of ten years ago yeah in it wasunheard of like it never happened memore dance as a hip hop dancer was notany career you could do it was a hobbyYeah right now it's a career mmm andlike I mean I'm not big fan of 401 K butuh-huh getting a 401 K as a hip hop yeahthat's crazy dude yeah like it's crazyno yes that's insane because it's it'stotally unheard of yeahand for before now mm-hmm so itdefinitely influencing hip-hop dancersin very positive way Joseopen a lot of doors and you know a lotof dreams a lot of young people can likeargue their parents hey mom I can makethem as many yeah yeah yeah who did thiship-hop thing yeah and I'm hoping themore and more hip-hop hip-hop dancegets into the forefront of the communitythat it becomes more of a viable careermm-hmm beyond that like I'd like to seeit we're dancers hip-hop dancers getrecognized as like legitimate athletesyes because that's what they are I meanI think they're more than just athletesbecause it's obviously the focus of itis the creatives behind it so it's likethey're there are buses and and athletesand so much more I mean it's but yeahthe the recognition yes it's not quitethere and it's definitely not where itcould be mm-hm so I'm excited to seebreaking in the Olympics because I thinkthat that's maybe a step in the rightdirection because like I look at it asif if if breaking is like skateboardingwhich I think it very it is very similarit's like a mm-hmm it's a countercultureyeah I think that's the closest thingyeah skateboarding was just like we gotthis board with wheels and I figured outhow to do these cool tricks with it andthen a bunch of other kids picked upskateboard and they started doing thesame cool tricks and then eventuallypeople saw it and was like oh those arecool tricks I want to see more of it andthen it spread around through littlelike VHS tapes all you know all aroundthe country and so more people more andmore people were seeing it and they'relike oh cool this is something cool andthen you you get some like legitcelebrities like Tony Hawk that you knowkind of make the make it blow up youknow and they get the X Gamesstuff and that's kind of where he got alot of his fame from but you know theyget the X Games and so now it was onlike more public platform mm-hmm so morepeople saw and it just blew up to thepoint where there's like video games andstuff and I think breaking has the samekind of appeal to it yes I think hip-hopdance has a lot has the same kind ofappeal to it people see it and they'llgo you know that is really cool I likewatching it I don't know what it is butlet's let's keep watching it I want tosee some competitions of it you know andso then that's where like the Olympicscomes in or like the X Games or whateverI mean I don't know what that looks likein the future but it seems like it'sforming in that direction where it's notjust some underground thing it's more ofa publicly respected art form and yeah Imean almost like a sport I would say youknow it's said I think it's very similarto skateboarding and a lot of otherextreme sport yeah and and mixed martialarts yeah you know they both I think allthose things started out very likeunderground it was just like a smallcommunity was into it and they allstarted like more more people startedgetting involved in it in it I think thewhole scene got their self together toform like a sport a legitimate sport andI think that that's what breaking isgoing towards right now and I'm hopingthe other hip hop dance styles startdoing the same thing and we see itemerge as like this legit sport I knowthere's a big debate in the communitylike is is it okay that we call it asport because it's it's an art formabove everything yeah for sure but in away it's different than an art form -yeah typical like the way I look at artI mean art can be anything but like ifwe were talking about painting rightnothing in the painting culture is likelike competitive out saying you knowother than oh I want to you know getthis grant or whatever to do thiscertain art work but like in hip-hopdancing there's always been thiscompetitive nature too like a battlesomebody right mm-hm and so in a waythat does put it into a sport categorytoo because you know that I would saythe difference between it is thecompetitive nature right in competitiveis a sport and that something that's notcompetitive is maybe more of an art formbreaking sits somewhere in between thattoo and so we don't want to lose wedon't want to lose art form to become asport yeah but you you got to also admitthat there's some sport qualities to itso I'm interested to see where it endsup yeah I'm very interested like I'mvery interested in how they're gonnajudge yeah you talk to a lot of people alot of b-boys on this podcast actuallyabout how the judging is gonna gobecause I mean I don't know we're at anhour right now we can talk about thisactuallyum so like cuz when I look at it thejudging goes like this normally you havelike three judges or five judges orwhatever and they go they watch thisbattle and they go okay I like that guyyeah it's more personalyeah and it all comes down to like theirsubjective opinion about that and so nowwhen you go to like the Olympics orsomething they're they're gonna requiresome criteria yeah so yeah you you knowyou as a judge you voted that way butwhy and then you go oh well he he showedmore musicality he showed morefoundation he showed more dynamicswhatever you want to say and then theygo but how do you quantify that exactlyand then I think it all breaks down atthat point it's like okay wellI say his was better than his but wheredid you call like what's the quantityyeah but what like so I gave this guyfive points I gave that guy four pointsfor his let's say dynamics okay but whymm-hmm it all breaks down from therebecause then you go okay well he didthis freeze a little bit sharper thanthat guy mm-hmm and then you go but thisguy's freeze was different from hisfreeze so you're comparing apples tooranges rightand then he go okay well yeah maybe hisfreeze was a little more difficult hiswas sharper but he also did it into thisother movie and it's like yeah butyou're still comparing apples to orangesso everything breaks down at that pointbecause now it just goes to this yoursubjective opinion about yeah about thedanceyeah I personally I like that that's apart of the judging that you get thesejudges and they go I I like this morethan this just as a dancer because it'sit's it's fun for me to watch thiscompared to that and so in the judge injudging I don't want to lose that but Ialso want to be able to quantify it sothat it makes sense to other people thatdon't understand it yeah and so on thison the on the Olympics platform I don'tknow how you do that and I've beentalking to a lot of people and I don'tthink anybody has really figured out agood way to do that yeah I don't thinkanybody has figured it out yeah you knowand so the thing the thing that I'vebeen telling a lot of people that I thatmaybe is how you got to do it is you sayokay well we have we have this let'scall it bias you know each judge isgonna have their own bias towardscertain thing yeah and it all comes downto what they like and what they don'tlike we don't want to lose that aspectso let's just say okay that counts ussomethingbut we don't want to have one judgecompletely dictated because they havethis bias because we're gonna we'regonna embrace that there's a bias butlet's also let's also get more judges tohelp weed out bad biases you know what Imean and so my thought is that insteadof three judges instead of five judgeslet's say you had twenty judges rightand they all give their opinion they'reall from different areas different erasor whatever you know they all have theirdifferent opinions about it and themajority of them say this guy won overthat guy won I think that meanssomething especially when you look atwhat we're like braking and hip hopdance started from it started as like acompetition between two people at like adance party and what were you trying todo you were trying to outshine the guyyou're going against yep by showing offessentially and who are you showing offto you're showing off to your opponentobviously but also to the crowd you weretrying to get a good crowd applause somy thought is that if your crowd now isa lot of knowledgeable judgesyou're staying true to the history ofhip-hop still and you're not losing thisimportant opinion and art creative basedjudging but you're also weeding outopinions that aren't the minority maybemmm-hmm maybe there's some more problemsthat come along with that I don't knowthere there could easily be that becauseyou know I think there are legitimateparts of the dance that go as like anunder underdog kind of opinion but theydo matter so a lot of those might notshoot up to the forefront of it but Iwould say if you're getting if you'repulling judges a lot of judges from youknow unique places in the dance you'reat least you're at least getting a goodsample of everything that the cultureto offer and then you know allowing thatto choose the winner I think maybethat's the most honest way to do it Idon't know if regular Olympics fan oryou know people who watch the Olympics Idon't know hip-hop would understand thatthat's my question too but I'm hopingthat there's some way to like explainthat to them that the individuality thecreativeness inside this is veryimportant and that is why the judgingsystem is set up in this way that's notas quantitative as other sport otherOlympic sports such as like gymnasticsor like you know whatever martial artsthere's basketball or whatever so yeahthat's ongoing discussion we can talkabout it all day long all day long yeahI mean I've talked to so many peopleabout it and yeah we're all kind of wethrow out our ideas and we don't reallyknow what's gonna happen but I'm hopingthat they have a good community ofpeople that are contributing to whatthey're gonna do for that and I'mexcited to see what happens yeah I'mhoping that pop culture gets thatrecognition and publicity and risk backfrom like you know this word yeah but Idon't know if I'm a big fan of thatbecoming an Olympic mmm category yeah Idon't just to me just personally it just- it seems out of place in the Olympicsto me exact but I don't want to hate onit yeah it's a good opportunity it isgreat opportunity and it's it's it'sshowing me that the Olympics is growinginto a new into new things now you knowI think breaking maybe makes more senseI mean it's its own thing but it seemsmore like something in the X Games to meyeah but even that isdifferent - it's it's hard to place itwhere it is but I take I'll take what wecan get to be honest yeah and and makedo you know make make it into somethinggood and maybe maybe it does a coupleyears in the Olympics and then it goessomewhere else but I think that it's agood opportunity to show that breakingand hip-hop is ready for it something onthis scale and the community welcomes ityeah which I'm hoping the rest of thecommunity does welcome it and doesn'tjust straight-up hate on it I thinkthere's a lot of people that do heythere's a lot of people hating on ityeah yeah and I think they have goodarguments for it yeah I definitelyrespect those opinions deal becausethey're looking at it saying like thisis an underground thing we don't want tolike get rid of the underground rawnessof it yeah and I agree with that toobecause like that's that's one of themain things that I love about it is thatyou know what drew me into it was thatthis was something that you knowbreaking is breaking in hip-hop is justthis counterculture of stuff you know inmy life everyone's telling me do this dothis do this and do this and then Ifound breaking and they were like oh youdon't need to do that what you just didis cool how about you just go with thatand just keep playing with that andwe'll see what happens with that youknow so it was encouraged to just trydifferent things you know so that's whatbrought me into it cuz I was it was oneof the only things in my life that youcould just say you know fuck everythingI this is me I can do what I want hereand then yeah I don't know there's not alot of things I think in this world thatyou can do that with but it's likedefinitely encouraged in the hip-hopworld to just say yo we we like you soput you into everything you do mm-hmm soanyways I think we're hitting this yephour and fifteen minutes or so is thereany last things you want to say I thinkwe talked a lot about some interestingyeah we went definitely out of planthere's no yeah it was very interestingconversation um I don't know if you arelistening to this and you like Iliterally started like I never thoughtI'll be an industry dancer yeah I neverthought I would qualify for that umbut wherever you are just working hardand do what you can do the best alwaystake you somewhere else then you thinkyou can mm-hmmso it definitely did that to me hmm so Iwill encourage those people who kind ofdoubt yourself yeah cuz that's notreally that's not that's really not it Ibelieve what you can dream of you canactually accomplish so it's all aboutbelieving yours yes and just you knowyou know having the vision for it ormaybe even not the full vision buthaving something yeah just yeah goingand moving towards ya you know and evenif you move a little bit away from it ortake the step in the wrong direction youknow this is not this is not a race thisis a journey so yeah see own yeah sofeel feel free to adventure around andand but you know don't don't let thefear of it keep you from taking thatstep yep and be open-minded beopen-minded open-mindedness is importantI mean that's what hip-hop is isembracing the open mindedness of it andand I think every hip hopper would sayyeah the hip hop is about being you it'snot about being this other guy in factit's discouraged to try to be somebodyelse it's that you know you're a biteryou know your copy or your opposedif you're doing that right we want tosee what you are so mm-hmmtake take your you know your your ownpersonality put it into everything youdo and and I think if you do that thenyou are doing it correctly you know nomatter what the result of it is you'redoing it right that's that's the rightway to do hip-hop yeah that's it dopeman well thank you for coming on here Ithink this was a great conversation doyou have any where people can reach youthey want to reach out not yetno I kind of disappeared online cuz Iwas kind of big on like social media nointernet but I kind of wanted to checkif I could leave without it so I deletedyeah yeah

Musikkens rødder er en musikarkæologisk podcastserie, der undersøger hvilke rytmer, ord og inspirationskilder, som de store musikfænomener står på skuldrene af. I håbet om at finde ud af hvorfor den musik vi alle sammen kender, lyder som den gør. Vi tager lytteren med på en kort rejse, der begynder et sted vi alle kender og fører lytteren et sted hen, de ikke vidste de havde lyst til at besøge.Damon Albarn, manden bag tegneseriebandet Gorillaz, der er aktuelle som hovednavn på årets Roskilde Festival, er kendt for at drage inspirationer fra mange forskellige steder I verden.Det kunne man f.eks. opleve da han optrådte med The Syrian National Orchestra til Roskilde Festivals åbningskoncert i 2016. Et andet bevis på Albarns musikalske spændvidde er projektet Mali Music, der udkom i 2002, og som blev skabt i et musikalsk fællesskab mellem Albarn og de malinesiske musikere Afel Bocoum, Toumani Diabaté & Friends.Lyt til projektet på Spotify herunder:En anden af de mange som Gorillaz har arbejdet sammen med er den colombianske stjerne Kali Uchis. Hun bruger elementer fra reggaeton og moombahton i hendes poppede univers og har blandt andet arbejdet med Snoop Dogg, Tyler The Creator og har turneret med Lana Del Rey. Kali Uchis spiller også på årets Roskilde Festival.Du kender måske reggaeton? Det er en blanding mellem reggae og hip-hop, der har en meget bestemt og genkendelig rytme. Men reggaeton er ikke bare rytmer og rim. Det er også en indlejret politisk og kropslig modstand indlejret i musikken, som i mange år var forbudt i Puerto Rico, fordi det blev opfattet som blufærdighedskrænkende. Ligesom den amerikanske hip-hop har reggaeton været en kanal, hvor kunstnere har kunnet udtrykke sig politisk og bringe stemmer fra undergrunden frem. Du kan høre et godt eksempel på hvad reggaeton kan på nummeret med det puertoricanske band Calle 13.En udvikling af reggaeton rytmen er moombahton, som gennem holdet fra Mad Decent og Major Lazer er blevet meget internationalt anerkendt. DJ’en Dave Nada fandt i 2009 på at blande rytmen vi kender fra reggaeton med tung bas og dramatiske opbygninger, som vi kender fra techno. Og så lyder det sådan her:Genrerne reggaeton og moombahton bliver også dyrket i Danmark af en interessant duo: Mambe & Danochilango.Den colombianske sangerinde Mambe synger både på svensk, dansk, spansk og engelsk, mens den tidligere balletdanser på Det Kongelige Teater Danochilango overfører sin lyst og fornemmelse for bevægelse til producerstolen, hvor han forsøger at smitte publikum med sin musik.Mambe og Danochilango har samme politiske engagement og bevidsthed, som vi hørte hos Calle 13 tidligere. De har spillet med store internationale navne som Bomba Estereo og Dengue Dengue Dengue og i 2018 udkommer der et nyt album. Vi synes du skal varme op ved at høre deres udgivelse fra 2015 “Hibrido” og følge dem på Facebook, Instagram og Spotify. 

Som rockstjerne og frontfigur i bandet Blur har Albarn i over tre årtier udforsket rockmusikkens muligheder, mens han med det virtuelle band Gorillaz i samarbejde med tegneserieskaberen Jamie Hewlett har udforsket genrer som hiphop, triphop, electronica m.m. Han har også været medlem af de to ”supergrupper” The Good, the Bad & the Queen og Rocket Juice & the Moon og endvidere skrevet et par operaer, komponeret soundtracks og produceret andre kunstnere.

As music in the latter half of the 90s drifted away from the Britpop style Blur had helped popularize, the band shifted into a noisier and more aggressive style of music. In this episode, we cover Blur's 1997 self-titled album through 2015's The Magic Whip, a period filled with inner conflict, departures, reunions, and transformations from a band who never seemed comfortable doing the same thing twice.

Starting as a young band in London in the late 80s and early 90s, Blur rose to fame in a few short years and helped the Britpop movement reach its peak. In the first episode of this two-part series, we cover their first four albums: Leisure, Modern Life is Rubbish, Parklife, and The Great Escape.

Dans ce 29e épisode, vous trouverez: des gens qui se mouchent au micros, d'infâmes trahisons, du LOL en barre, mais aussi, critiqués par l'équipe de Focus Vif, les objets culturels dont tout le monde parle: *"Tom à la ferme", le nouveau long-métrage de Xavier Dolan: Pose arty ou vrai propos? (vers 1'30'') *"La fête de l'insignifiance", le dernier roman de Milan Kundera. 144 pages: Petit livre, ou livre peu épais? (vers 13'35'') *"Everyday Robots", l'album solo de Damon Albarn: Une démarche 100% honnête, dit-il. Aurait-il dû mentir un peu? (vers 27'00'') *"Mad Men": La toute dernière saison est en marche aux USA. Mais pourquoi cette série unanimement saluée par la critique semble-t-elle à ce point réservée aux happy fews? Tout ça, et bien plus, durant 59 minutes emmenées par Myriam Leroy, featuring Ysaline Parisis, Guy Verstraeten et Laurent Hoebrechts.

John Wilson is in the recording studio with Damon Albarn to discuss his latest album Everyday Robots, an autobiographical journey in which he returns to his childhood and his London and Essex roots. Albarn describes the stories that lie behind the songs of this his first fully-realised solo album. Roger Wright reveals the line-up for his last ever BBC Proms. The poet and crime writer Sophie Hannah on her new novel The Telling Error, a psychological puzzle about about the seductive appeal of lying. Plus The Art Fund director Stephen Deuchar announces the shortlist for the Museum of the Year Prize. Producer Elaine Lester Presenter: John Wilson.

With John Wilson. Singer and songwriter Bobby Womack is one of soul music's great survivors. He reflects on a career which spans more than half a century, in which he's confronted illness, addiction and controversy. He discusses his return to the studio for the first time in almost a decade, at the invitation of Damon Albarn, and Albarn himself looks back at the dramatic conclusion to their first recording session for a Gorillaz album. Bobby Womack also recalls his less-than-positive first reaction to the news that The Rolling Stones had recorded his song It's All Over Now - although he readily admits that his views changed when he received the first of many large royalty cheques. And music biographer Peter Guralnick charts how singer and entrepreneur Sam Cooke played a key role in Womack's early career: Bobby Womack remembers Cooke's ready advice, which included always to own a good ring and a good watch - valuables which could be pawned if a concert promoter failed to pay up. Producer John Goudie.
