0:35
Welcome
0:40
to all songs considered a music show, free
0:42
computer. I'm Bob boilen. And
0:44
that's me 22 years
0:46
ago on the very first episode of
0:49
all songs considered the
0:51
way we were able to listen to music in the year.
0:53
2000 is so very different
0:55
from now. There are no service
0:57
has know iTunes Store in YouTube
0:59
most final, I pods listening
1:02
to music on the go was
1:04
done by turning on the radio,
1:07
and not everyone had a radio station suit their
1:09
tastes self buying C. D
1:11
was the most likely way to hear
1:13
the music he loved. They. We're burgeoning
1:15
sites such as he hinted at underground
1:18
music archives and then Napster,
1:20
and then made it possible to share
1:22
the newly birth dumpy three files
1:25
over your fourteen for Baud. Modem
1:27
but you had to be a bit geek savvy
1:30
to figure it all out these.
1:32
days were blessed with be able
1:34
to explore whatever music we once
1:37
but we all tend to wind up wind our own
1:39
little boxes and i hope that all
1:41
songs considered a twenty two will
1:43
help you to discover something you
1:45
might not otherwise I begin
1:47
today show with Kate Tempest first
1:50
heard the remarkable music and poetry
1:52
and the album everybody down back and
1:55
twenty four team that. was
1:57
followed with a stunning performances
1:59
south by southwest And twenty fifteenth
2:01
and tiny desk concert that years well
2:04
there's. new music from k tempest and
2:06
here they are to take us to the
2:08
new song more pressure it
2:10
The first single of
2:12
my new album The Line Is a curve
2:15
It's The Penultimate Someone That Record The Whole
2:17
Record Is Kind of Building towards This
2:19
Point And, song is hopefully
2:22
reef framing of some of the
2:24
seems within the record is basically saying
2:26
that the more pressure person is under the
2:28
more possibility they have full
2:30
release is this idea that
2:33
Actually. When you're under huge pressure,
2:36
it can be extremely galvanizing and it
2:38
can create all kinds of possibilities
2:40
for increasing resilience and and,
2:43
acceptance and that city discovering
2:45
the beauty. Of surrender of letting go, so
2:48
in that sense hopefully it's some of up this month
2:51
and the is go abuse of
2:53
abuse on his from Kevin upset so's rudeness
2:55

7:49
Kenyan players I've never heard this artist
7:51
before in my life but I came
7:53
up or in the recommendations
7:55
of my band camp feed for that day
7:58
and. i was to it and pop isis It
8:00
took me back to the or two thousand
8:03
and one, two thousand, to see have time for
8:05
like I tunes,eur eur nurse, would you like, please,
8:07
please? So.
8:09
If you know in the late nineties, you know, listen
8:11
to a lot of pot pot, but I was kind of like
8:13
getting tired of it a lotta sound
8:15
of the. Same to me and I was getting,
8:17
like, two siamese for my tastes,
8:20
so kind of like one away from it for a while, I
8:22
was a freshman in college and two. Thousand and
8:24
two thousand and two. A friend of
8:26
mine invited me to
8:28
go see against me and a punk
8:30
house and Athens Georgia if.
8:33
he just likes her want light bulb for me i
8:35
think told the story like a million times
8:37
but times never get tired of it because like the
8:39
whole from us heaved with excitement
8:41
at ah this person
8:44
That acoustic guitar in drummer
8:46
just screaming their heads off. I
8:50
it's like a felt like punk
8:52
should be to me it was. All.
8:54
The trappings of like punk
8:56
from the previous decades seem to be
8:59
gone and so that was really thrilling
9:01
to me and I kind of like recent in my mind,
9:03
if like. What could be there,
9:05
are lot of like and the wake of it gets me
9:08
a lot of folk punk bands came
9:11
around, some of them are incredible
9:13
most. Who are not, yeah,
9:15
because it's it's, you know, it's pretty like
9:18
it's formula right, it's like Chris guitar
9:20
scream loud, be extremely earnest,
9:22
do it in about. Two minutes ahead about ten minutes
9:24
and, you know, the highest are extremely
9:27
high, you know, and, you
9:29
know, I never stopped loving that
9:31
music quite the early records. By a waxahachie
9:34
we're that way and
9:36
I'm. i'm loved ramshackle
9:38
gloria and defiance ohio and
9:41
spoon boy and not occurs all
9:43
i'd love to all those bands but like they're not
9:45
too many have captured me sense someone
9:47
hit play This record by
9:50
Passion Pit as I was immediately transported
9:53
back. to two thousand one two thousand
9:55
two bars got rich are in
9:57
his dorm room at university of florida
10:00
And just like just flipping else and
10:02
thirty, there is a bit of work and the start of trip
10:05
to this like I'm not going it's neither,
10:07
but like it's cool to hear.
10:09
The thing that I was appreciated about for punk
10:11
is that it for granted the song
10:14
writing. Well. For a like the sheer
10:16
like sonics of punk and,
10:18
that's what I hear and the songs and, you know,
10:21
i can't get over this album it's so. Good,
10:23
but apparently is the first time mums,
10:26
a she's the main songwriter, the first
10:28
time that she's had band, band
10:30
mostly just been her an acoustic
10:32
guitar and. Maybe another singer, but here
10:34
it's. like she mixes in folk
10:37
punk sound but i love sound much but
10:39
throws it on with a little bit of twang That
10:41
all and with, the
10:43
throne pedal steel and trump's
10:46
and it's just as so targeting
10:49
have kind of has it. will replace
10:51
this is empties by pitch and putt
12:26
Now.
13:05
Lloyd, I'm imagining.
13:07
Ready for this are imagining a tiny
13:10
desk home concert in your
13:12
home my home yeah
13:16
invite Pigeon Pit to your house
13:19
to, do tiny desk home that sounds awesome
13:21
and into that I hear that pets and pet.
13:24
a might be little while i think loans
13:27

13:31
somewhere in the future somewhere in the future
13:34

13:36
bet humor which is something that
13:38
kind of can get lost in music that
13:40
song was adorable with was
13:43
intense energy Yeah, I am,
13:46
actually asked worms.
13:47
If I don't wanna tell me a little bit about
13:50
what empties about and she wrote
13:52
like this long paragraph I
13:54
worry the whole thing ah but it's
13:57
basic about the spot. thinking
13:59
about utopia
14:00
Isn't that what they assume
14:02
we think is about the world and
14:05
