00:00:13.000 Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Kevin McKinnon.
00:00:20.000 Keep your pretty hands off me. 1.00
00:00:24.000 You cannot keep your pretty hands off me. 1.00
00:00:29.000 You cannot keep your pretty hands off me No, I won't sit and ask me to be quiet No, I won't sit and ask me to be quiet No, I won't sit and ask me to be quiet
00:00:48.000 No, I won't sit and ask me to be quiet No, I won't sit and ask me to be quiet Wait, let's hear more of that.
00:01:13.000 You cannot keep your pretty hands off me. 1.00
00:01:17.000 You cannot keep your pretty hands off me. 1.00
00:01:20.000 I thought you were the one, but I was wrong.
00:01:25.000 I was wrong.
00:01:27.000 I thought great jam.
00:01:33.000 That is the trucks.
00:01:35.000 The crux of the trucks is that they were formed sort of haphazardly.
00:01:40.000 There's a woman's music festival, and they didn't have enough woman bands, so they said, let's get you, you, you, and you up around Portland. 1.00
00:01:50.000 The Pacific Northwest wasn't too woke back then.
00:01:52.000 This was still early odds, relatively early odds.
00:01:56.000 And it was in an interesting time in New York, and the trucks came to New York a few times, where ElectroClash was big.
00:02:03.000 I'm going to do a green screen of forgotten music scenes from the Sharpies in Australia to Electro Clash.
00:02:10.000 I've got a bunch more I can't remember right now.
00:02:12.000 But it was a really cool music scene.
00:02:16.000 Fisher-Spooner were the sort of rolling stones of that scene, which was Warren Fisher and Casey Spooner.
00:02:22.000 Casey Spooner was this elaborate homo who was really cool and funny and weird and very creative. 1.00
00:02:30.000 And then there was Warren Fisher, who was a musical genius.
00:02:32.000 And he would just take these, I don't know what you call it, 8-bit sounds that you just heard there, those little machines, the 808s.
00:02:39.000 And then Casey Spooner would conduct these big, elaborate dance shows. 1.00
00:02:45.000 And one of the coolest things I've, I think he invented this whole concept of just sort of stopping the show.
00:02:51.000 So it'd be this elaborate show with dancers and stage stuff. 0.90
00:02:54.000 And then he'd just go, stop, stop, stop.
00:02:56.000 What are you doing over there?
00:02:58.000 What's happening here?
00:02:59.000 And the music would stop and everyone would be like, what?
00:03:01.000 And then he'd put her over there and be like, five, six, seven, eight.
00:03:05.000 And they'd start up again.
00:03:06.000 So it was really sloppy and haphazard.
00:03:08.000 I kind of stole that for this show where I'd be relatively unprepared and then say, Ryan, look that up.
00:03:15.000 Or we'll just figure it out as we go.
00:03:18.000 And you'd see the backstage on stage.
00:03:21.000 you'd see them getting ready and stuff.
00:03:22.000 Like there was no...
00:03:28.000 The videos were so cool too.
00:03:38.000 That's not Warren Fisher, the boy.
00:03:44.000 Move forward.
00:03:44.000 Do they show more different stuff?
00:03:46.000 Their shows were amazing.
00:03:52.000 I said to him once, I know what that song's about.
00:03:54.000 You don't need to tear away.
00:03:55.000 You don't need to emerge from nothing.
00:03:56.000 It's saying you don't have to be gay. 0.97
00:03:58.000 You don't have to come out of the closet.
00:04:00.000 Stay in the closet if you want.
00:04:01.000 And he goes, no.
00:04:03.000 But if that's your interpretation, enjoy yourself.
00:04:08.000 Kind of stops the music in the song, too.
00:04:11.000 Yeah.
00:04:12.000 Like, that was very uncomfortable and jarring.
00:04:14.000 This was a great time in New York City.
00:04:17.000 There was no rules.
00:04:18.000 Terry Richardson was a pig, and everyone thought that was interesting.
00:04:22.000 I wore a shirt that said, speak English with an American flag on it and a screwdriver belt buckle.
00:04:26.000 You're like, haha, that's weird.
00:04:29.000 Like, you could be whatever you wanted to.
00:04:31.000 And then it got woke.
00:04:33.000 Terry was canceled.
00:04:35.000 Fisher Spruner broke up and Electro Clash ended.
00:04:37.000 And I think two things killed Electro Clash.
00:04:40.000 One, me.
00:04:42.000 I was so excited about it that I over-documented it and made it a thing.
00:04:46.000 And it was always in Vice.
00:04:48.000 All the bands were in Vice and Showcase.
00:04:50.000 And there's Electro Clash update.
00:04:52.000 I was like, we got our own punk.
00:04:53.000 This is great.
00:04:54.000 And there were some really good bands.
