My name is Travis. I got my brother with me for two weeks in a row. It's pretty exciting, dude. Feels good. Getting back into the swing of things, you know? And I think we've got Ronan's nighttime routine down pretty well now. So it's, you know, it's pretty likely that come 10 p.m. good old Texas time, I am free and ready to record, brother.

And you know what, dude? And in case people didn't know, not only have you been holding down the fort with episodes and bringing in guests, but you're also piecing together these episodes. So never thought I'd say it. but you're the one keeping this podcast afloat. I appreciate it. You used to be the other way around.

Appreciate it. Listen to you, man. Get taking all the credit. I mean, I took a lot of pride in my, you did, my editing, you did, you know. But anyways, long story short, two weeks in a row, dude, and hopefully I can hop back on next week. And you know what? Before we know it, we're going to be doing our end of year episodes. So, and that's going to be in December.

That's going to be like two. episodes from now, I think, is when it starts. Yeah. Can we just talk about how nutty it is that Thanksgiving is next week, or this week, actually, technically. When this episode drops, Thanksgiving is in a few days. What happened to November? What happened to 2022, man? Yeah.

I mean, I've been so, so much has happened for me this year. It just flew by. I graduated college. I started a new job. I have a baby boy now. You started a new human. Crazy. Crazy. I started a new human. And he's so freaking cute right now, dude. You've seen the videos. You've seen the pictures.

I've seen the photos cute. I've seen him. Insane. So, we're covering Cocktow Twins today. Yes. And this is, uh, that's exciting. This is, I think, a long time coming. This, this particular record. I did do much research going into this. I figured this is just one of those records. It's an iconic record in the shoe gaze circles, right? And, you know, just like the Sundays last week, Cocktaught Twins are more in the Dream Pop camp than the Shugase camp. But, you know, on the Shugase subreddit and anywhere else do you find a list of best Shugays records, like, this is going to be on that list, right? And I didn't realize.

this until today. They formed in 79. What? Holy moly. And this record was their most critically acclaimed and it came out 11 years later. So they had been around for a while before they really got much attention. And this record, Heaven or Las Vegas is the one that kind of put them on the map. But I have never listened to anything prior to this record. I mean either. It sounds like this record was a pretty big change from the one that came out prior to this one called Bluebell Null, which came out in 1988. So here's what I did, Treve, and we talked about this briefly before we started recording. I haven't really spent much time with this record.

I haven't listened to it all the way through. Good. So I know a few songs from it, but I did the thing that you do as well. You know, I went back and listened to the first, you know, the debut record. Okay. And I probably listened to older ones. So, you know, I might be more familiar with their older stuff. But that Bluebell Noll album cover looked familiar.

Treasure, too. Yeah, I haven't listened to any of that. It's a lot darker. Well, that's funny because there was an interview I was reading where the guitar player, Robin Guthrie was saying that, you know, people always expected them to walk around in like capes and black fingernail polish. So I guess that was speaking to maybe there's. sound prior to this record.

Because when you listen to this record, I think it sounds very, I mean, Dreamy's a perfect word for it. Like an open and light and kind of floaty. Well, I think you had mentioned this when we were talking about the Sundays last week, is you can kind of hear, it seems like they have a foot, one foot still in the open door that it is the 80s and New Wave. Yeah. And I'm getting that.

vibe from this record. Yeah. And you know what that is? It's the guitar playing from Robin Getherie. Yes, exactly. It's the guitar playing. And it makes me want to maybe pivot into New Wave next. That's an untapped genre for us, I think. I think we've like, you know, we've done, I think we did the Eurythmic's episode, like a sidetrack on the Eurythmic once. I'm pretty sure we've done Echoing the Bunnyman, but those were like side tracks. So we never really dove into them. Yeah, those are side tracks. I want to cover, after hearing just that tiny little intro, I want to cover songs from the big chair. Oh, okay.

Cheers for videos. Yeah, I think that's a great way to kick off a batch of New Wave. So yeah, that intro song that we played was the title track to this record, having in Las Vegas, which I think I brought actually as a recent what you heard just randomly. So I love that song. It's great. And it was one of the two singles on this record, the other single being. ice blink luck.

So yeah, here's what makes cocktow twins so amazing. It's Elizabeth Frazier, who I know we've dropped her name so many times on this podcast. And Robin Guthrie, who I think we've mentioned him as well. Yeah, his ambient guitar work, dude, the stuff he does, he did post Cocktaught Twins is so, so good. It's amazing, yeah. And that's actually, I actually listened to Robin Guthrie's solo stuff before ever getting into Cactout Twins. he partners with this piano composer guy named Harold Bud. Like most of the records that he's done,

it's him and Harold Budd, who I think passed away in 2020. So we lost him a couple of years ago. But yeah, it's this great reverb-drenched ambient guitar music. And he had, he already had that tone and sound on the Cactaw Twin stuff. And you'll hear it. You heard it in the Heaven in Las Vegas track, and you'll definitely hear it in some of those other stuff that you play. So, yeah, his guitar playing is great.

I think it really contributes to the dream pop sound. And then Elizabeth Frazier as a vocalist is probably one of the best vocalists of all time, you know, like rock vocalists. Wow. I mean, really, she's, I mean, you know, massive attack. She's contributed to that quite a bit. I'm actually going to have an outro track from Mezzanine, of course, the record that she appears on. But anyway, you know, we're not going to get into much of the history of the band or, like, all the controversy with like their, apparently they had some beef. So in 2005, they were going to headline Coachella and then do a world tour after that.

But it was canceled a month later after Fraser refused to perform on stage with Guthrie. So her and Robin have have some beef, you know, so. Damn. Apparently they're done forever. It's a shame. They're never going to reunite. So, you know, we have the music that we have. And we have quite a bit of music, actually.

I mean, if you look at their discography, you know, almost 10 records, right? Going from 82 to 96. And yeah, having in Las Vegas was their biggest success. All right. So let's just jump right into it here, Q. They formed in Grangemouth, Scotland. So they're a Scottish band. Here are the terms that the Wikipedia page has thrown onto them.

Dreampop, of course, Ethereal Wave. That's a new one. I think ethereal is a really good word to describe them as well. Gothic rock and post-punk. So some of those terms may apply to some of the earlier stuff. Gothic rock sounds kind of, that's probably where,

you know, they were saying people thought that they would be wearing black fingernail polish or whatever. It makes me think of like the cure or something. You know, they were probably deemed Gothic. Oh, yeah. 100%. I mean, which is, that's that new wave sound.

Yep. And then the members for this particular record, Elizabeth Frazier on vocals, Robin Guthrie, guitars, bass, drum machine, Will Heggy on bass and Simon Raymond. Wow, I guess they don't have an actual drummer. Yeah, Guthrie just does drum machine. Interesting. Yeah, that's dope. So am I supposed to actually believe that?

Wow. That's crazy, man. Yeah, so that guy, Will Hagee that I just mentioned, he actually left in 83. So, yeah, for this record, Heardner, Las Vegas, it's just Elizabeth, Robin, and Simon. And I'm guessing Robin did the electronic drums. So the drums you hear are all electric, which is interesting. All right, here we go. We're going to jump right in here to the second track.

This song is called Pitch the Baby. That's the first time I've heard that one. super catchy it's got that washed out like drinchin reverb and you know her voice is kind of lost in the mix and i wonder if that's kind of what part of what kicked off the the shoegaze sound you know like not to say that they're the first shoe gaze band but you know like i think that was a big part of the sound lyrics that you almost couldn't understand right because of the way that it lays in the mix I love that, dude. I've always loved that.

Yeah, I was trying to pull up the lyrics for this song, because if you, you know, you pick out words here and there. Plus, it's called Pitch the Babies. I'm kind of curious what it's about, but I can't find lyrics anywhere. Chuck in babies, yeah. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. Do you ever, have you ever looked at Ronan and just been like, man, I just want to pitch this baby?

That's the last thing on my mind, brother. Well, you know, what I meant was like pitch him a nice tent that you can camera. Oh, when he's older maybe. Okay. Pitch him a nice tin. We'll go camping. But I couldn't find, I didn't trust the lyrics that I found on this some random ass what, like AZLyrics. It's like, that's somebody's best guess, you know what I mean?

So I went to the website to see if they had the official lyrics and they do not. And I don't own this record. So I couldn't even look at liner notes if I wanted to. But anyway, so the lyrics are up in there. It's up to your interpretation. But yeah, what's interesting is you hear this quite a bit. She will kind of sing over herself as she's kind of doing her own backing vocals and stuff. And sort of like these layers of her vocals, you know, in the background and like, you know,

sort of like repeating certain phrases in the background and stuff like that. I think it's great. And it adds to that like sort of ambient, floaty kind of sound, that dreamy sound that they have. Yeah. And they really sit right on. top of each other in the mix too, it seems like, which kind of helps to make it kind of, you kind of get lost in,

and what she's saying. And her vocals are very rhythmic too, and you'll see that, especially in some of these other tracks that we're going to play. And I love Robin Guthrie, man. Pay attention to the guitar, if you're out there,

try to, like, listen to it because he's got such a distinct sound that, like, you can pick him out, you know what I mean? You're like, yep, that's Robin Guthrie for sure. And he's dropping those sick beats too, man. Yeah, which is funny. Yeah, it's great.

And the bass player, too. Let's give us some love to Simon. I think the bass is great. Okay, like I said, you know, this, we're just going to mosey route it through here, Q, and keep going. Let's do it. This has another funny name, this song. A lot of their songs have funny names. This song, I guess this is about a person who could go, he could go either way, this person.

Maybe they're a clown. Maybe they're not. The song is called 50-50 clown. It's not getting any better than that, man. That's great, right? Yeah, well, a great song. That's my favorite. It's great, right?

So far. Yeah. Yeah, there's a quality to this music, and that's what always drew me to heaven or Las Vegas. Like, that's a heavy repeat song for me. Like, I go back to it all the time. There's just something about this music that just makes you feel like you're just floating around the room, dude. I know we say that a lot, but like, there's a, there's a, particularly with this band and her vocals and Robin's guitar playing, it's very ethereal. That's probably why they had that label thrown on them.

Like, it's very, like, angelic, dude. And like, what stood out to me on top of that, the synth, like the synthesizers that they use and the simplicity of the drums being that it's just a drum machine. they really keep it simple. That was a pretty stripped down song. I mean, you know, like, it's not overdone as far as like, I guess, overdubbing and all that stuff. It just seemed, it was very simple. And like, it's almost like with the, you know, the 80s synth movement that's

come back through vapor wave, right? And like mall soft kind of stuff. That's the sound. So this is like a crowd-sourced website. So this is just some person's interpretation. But I thought this was interesting. So songmeetings.com for this particular song. This person says, in their earlier work, Elizabeth Frazier even sings lyrics in her own made-up languages.

Well, no wonder we can't understand it. So one can hardly be forgiven for not getting most of Cocktaught twins' lyrics. Yeah. And he says, the title refers to the guy who's the subject of the song. So, hey, I was right here. It's 50, 50. Refers to him splitting his time between his wife and his mistress. Oh, okay.

I like that interpretation. He might also have bipolar disorder. Okay. So this guy's just like, see, just stabbing in the dark. Maybe it's about a guy who's cheating. Maybe it's about a guy with bipolar disorder. I thought it was about like, you know, with clowns, it's 50-50. either they're going to be terrifying or they're going to be slightly less terrifying.

Some people would say that they're always terrifying. I'm in that camp, dude. I don't have it like a legit phobia, but... Let's put it this way, dude. I've never been happy to... Why do clowns exist? I've never been happy to see a clown. You know what I mean?

Nothing good is going to come from it. No. So 50-50 clown. Who cares what the song is about? It's a great fucking song, right? Well, she's making up her own words anyways, so who cares? Yeah. I love the way she, I guess, utilizes the lyrics and her vocals as almost another instrument.

That's kind of what I was saying with her being very rhythmic with the way she sings. Especially if really all she's doing is just kind of making up words, just throwing syllables together. Then yeah, it really is just another instrument. Yeah. And, you know, this particular person who mentioned that was talking about in their earlier work. So maybe she's not still doing that. But it could very well be the case. It's hard to pick up on the lyrics.

You hear words and stuff every once in a while, but then sometimes it just sounds like syllables, right? So anyway, let's take a quick break. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Thanks again to BetterHelp for sponsoring this episode. This next song is going to be a little bit more subdued and like mellow, but I think it still delivers the good skew.

I like moody and mellow. Okay. Here we go. This song is called I Wear Your Ring. I know there's probably a term for this, but this is going to sound random, but I swear it's going to make sense. You know, the song Misty Mountain Hop by Led Zepplin. That the one that's like, why don't you take a good luck at your time? They can just continue that on indefinitely.

Exactly. Whatever that term is, I think this song has a little bit of that quality too with the verse. Like you just stay on that like forever, right? It's got that sort of like just kind of very. Yeah. It's very like sort of just straightforward with the melody. Like she's not doing much with it on the verse, right? and she's really, really like doing a duet with herself almost.

She's like, that backing track is almost the entire track. So like, I don't, curious how they did this live, you know. But yeah, she's really kind of playing off of herself with the back. Well, and you're right, dude, it does kind of have that similar quality. Yeah. I'm curious enough if there's a term for it. Yeah. Let's just see if the old.

the old Wikipedia can help us out here because there's a Wikipedia page just for this song. The most common interpretation of the song, that's talking about that it's about the Hobbit, which we all know that. Well, either way, you know what I'm saying, right? There probably is a term for it,

but it has that quality to it, and I like it about that. and I really love how it opens up. Her vocals are so pretty. That's another thing. She has such a great singing voice, you know, just traditionally beautiful singing voice. And it really, yeah,

makes it sound like you're in heaven, dude. That's what's funny. I love the dichotomy of the name, like heaven or Las Vegas, you know. I mean, you'd have to be on some pretty good drugs to think that Las Vegas is heaven. Well, isn't it like, you know, metaphor for sin in, you know what I mean?

Sining it up. It's Sin City. Sin City, that's what I'm saying. So I guess heaven or Las Vegas. Yeah, so it's opposites, right? Heaven or hell. In that sense. Oh, yeah.

Which I love that framing, you know, I love that framing, you know, using Las Vegas as a stand-in for hell. You know what I mean? That's great. Plenty of pearl clutches in history have made that comparison, I'm sure. Anyway, I think we're going to close with maybe the song that surprised me the most on this record, Q. So this is the very last track on the record. I know nothing about it, Q, other than the fact that Raymond, the bass player, Simon Raymond, wrote the song the day after his father's death.

And the record straddled the two themes, writing songs about birth and also death gave the record a darker side. Well, that's the end of that sentence. Gave the record a darker side. So having in Las Vegas, birth and death, like this is maybe a record about opposites, right? So this song, yeah, that's pretty powerful, man. You know, he wrote the lyrics to this track the day after his dad died,

the bass player. Yeah, that's pretty tough. So with that, you know, let's just go right into it. So this song is called Frew Fru Foxes in Mid-Summer Fires. This man, not something I was expecting at all. Yeah, just a beautiful track, man. I love that round and round, I think, is what she's saying, or pulled around. Yeah, I love that.

And again, she's playing off for. herself again. And she's taking words from what's the name? Well, so here's the thing. Let me read some song facts here Q. He wrote the song and I assumed he that means he wrote the lyrics but he may have just wrote the music. So here's a

quote from Raymond that I just found here. He says you go from Pitch the Baby which is that other track we played which is a joyous song about Elizabeth giving birth and having a kid. So that's something we missed. So let me just pause here Q.

Pitch the baby. First of all, this tells you how much I don't know about Cockdown twins. Before this record, Elizabeth had her first baby with Robin. This is Robin and, yeah, so they were, they may not have been married, but they were in a romantic partnership together. Well, that kind of explains the, maybe the beef they have with each other. Yeah, you know, if they're no longer together. Certainly. But anyway, they had their first kid together.

the kid's name was Bell and so Pitch the Baby is about their experience of being new parents which is really interesting so that this record quite literally is about birth and death because Pitch the Baby is about their newborn kid

Fru Foo Foxes is about Raymond's dad dying but let me go back to this quote so Raymond he says you go from Pitch the Baby which is a joyous song about Elizabeth giving birth and having a kid and how amazing that is over to Frou Foo Fox's, which is my song,

quite miserable, really, but Elizabeth makes it beautiful with the lyrics. So I don't know if that means she wrote the lyrics, which is interesting. So he just wrote this really melancholy song with some like piano and stuff in it, and then she added the lyrics, which is really kind of interesting

because, like, if this is this really personal song to him about his dad dying, she provides the lyrics and becomes something totally different. That as the way that she put his words into the song. Maybe. We've got to get to the bottom this, dude. Is it not, does it not have, it doesn't say on Wikipedia who wrote what song? There's not, there's not much out there.

I even looked at the liner notes. I pulled up liner note photos on discogs, and it just says written and produced by Cockta Twin. So yeah, it's hard to say where the lyrics came from. But either way. But, yeah, the way that she crams all those words into that chorus, and then with that, you know, pulled rounder, you know, repetition in the background and the way that she harmonizes with herself. Yeah, really pretty and different than all the other songs on the album. I mean, this is, this is, I mean, can you tell me what this means?

Eyes on the usually science of cherry colored. Huh? I mean, limelight, not the music. It's plain as can be. Now, I'm also going off of this website. all of the time I improvised by making sure singed by it pulled round of my blazman. Yeah. Singed by it.

Yeah. Singed by it, yeah. Anyway. Yeah. The way that she harmonizes with herself and the way she sings pulled around her, I was getting some Nico vibes, which I love the way Nico sings. Mm-hmm. I totally hear that.

Big time. And I love that, man. Here's something I was thinking about. I wonder if this right. record laid the groundwork for the cranberries to come with her Irish focal styles as she provided. You know what I mean? Well, maybe that's where the line, if they can do it, why can't we? What's the name of that?

If everybody else is doing it, why can't we? I think it's most old. Yeah, maybe they were talking about having her Las Vegas and cocked out to win success. You know what? If they can do it, why don't we? Because you hear a little bit of that kind of like, Yeah, everybody else is doing it, so why can't we? You hear some of that kind of like, you know, she's, they're from Scotland.

They're Scottish, right? Cocked out twins. But you hear some of that kind of interesting vocal stylings that you don't hear in rock music typically. And then you had the cranberries coming around the corner, like right around the corner in 92. And like, you know, we were talking about on that episode how it just, because the cranberries were so different. that, you know, it just seemed like there was a space for them to kind of wedge themselves into because, because of how unique they were amongst all the testosterone and the grunge sound, you know what I mean? And I wonder, you know, having to Las Vegas had seen some success with like some singles, right? If that was just kind of like, you know, getting, getting rock fans out there, like, you know, kind of prepped and ready, you know.

Here comes to cranberries or whatever. Or here comes, you know, all those other types of bands that were kind of around the corner that kind of weren't in the grunge camp. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, let me see if this quote is worth saying out loud. So here's a quote on the Cockta Twins website from Robin Guthrie about this record. He says one of the things that's a standout in my memory, it was a little party we had just at the end when all the mixing had been done and it had been sequenced. and there was a whole bunch of our mates over to listen to it for the first time. And part of you is just looking at how they're reacting.

What's the worst thing in the world? You're playing somebody a new song and 22nd into it. They start talking about themselves usually. Well, this was 40 minutes of just silence and mouths open. That for me was a very powerful moment. It was like, whoa, it's a goodie. It is a goody, Robin. It's a goody indeed.

It is a goody. And that should be the title. of this episode. It's a good. Yeah, you're right. Cockdown Twins. Yep. You're right. You did good, Robin.

Well, that's great, dude. Good tunes. Obviously, you listened to the whole record. I think that was a pretty good representation of it. But, yeah, there's a lot of great tracks on here, man. Obviously. I only played four tracks, technically five. But like I said earlier, our closing track is going to be something off of massive attacks,

Mezzanine, that featured Elizabeth on vocals. I wanted to play a track from Robin Guthrie, like some of his guitar stuff, but I chose to play an extra cocktail twin song. So anyway. So please her voice one more time. Yes, exactly. All right. Well, we'll figure out something to do next week.

And then let me pull up the old calendar here to you because I'm pretty sure that this, we only have two, this episode and one more episode. And then we're into December, if I am correct on that. Let's see. Today is the 21st. So, yeah. So we'll have one more episode. And then we will start our best of 2022.

And I've been crafting my list, Q, starting to come together. Man, I haven't even looked at mine, dude. Starting to come together. I got enough tracks, but I don't know if I have, you know, if I have the ones in there that I want. I'm going to have to do some digging with, with, uh, albums that I saved this year and songs that I liked. Got to get it down to 20 each. Each, right?

20 each. That's right. All right, man. It's five tracks, I guess, 10 tracks every episode. It's basically a What You Heard format for the whole month. All month, yeah. All songs from this year. Yeah.

And I've got to say, I've actually brought quite a bit of new stuff to the What You Heard's throughout this year. You may be hearing some of the same artists and we'll see if I play the same song or not. Hopefully. There were some that I saved. Me too. Like on purpose for end of year. Me too.

I purposely said, I'm going to resist playing this. I'll have to wait until December. So I've been sitting on some good stuff to you. I feel like we're going to have to land on a spoon song together. you know, like share a spoon song because we can't bring two spoon songs, but I know that's going to make it on your list. What if I told you that spoon was nowhere near my list? What if I told you that?

That's fine. Okay. Although I think there was at least one standout track on Lucifer on the sofa to me. It's a great album, man. You've got to give it another listen if you haven't. Maybe I'll give it another spin. Do it, man. Yeah, listen to it all the way through.

Okay. Well. Yeah. Lucifer on the moon. They just put out a new... Yeah, they've got a... reconstructed. I don't know who Adrian Sherwood is, but yeah, it's every song like remixed.

I haven't listened to any of them, but yeah, it's pretty dope. All right. Well, anyway, so next week, there might be a band, dude, that we can, a more contemporary band that we could play.
