16. Nerves, Laughs, & Endless Predictions: A Look Back at Our First Year
Lesley, Angie, and Dave reflect on their first year of the Lovejoy Nation Podcast. While the first few episodes were full of anxiety about getting it just right and trying to sound professional, the Pebble Brain Trust certainly found their way through times of intense speculation only to be rewarded with Lovejoy's debut full-length album, music videos, and a North American tour. 2025 will go down as the year of One Simple Trick followed by One Simple Tour and of course the humble beginning of the "official" Lovejoy Podcast ;-)
1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,320
Hello, we are Lovejoy and you
are listening to the Lovejoy
2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,240
podcast.
Hello, Lovejoy Nation podcast,
3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,360
Hello love and Joyers facts are
coming.
4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,240
Hello and welcome to the Lovejoy
Nation podcast.
5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,920
It is episode 16 and in addition
to that, we are officially just
6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,560
about at the year mark.
Dave, would you say you're our
7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,000
feel like you're?
Pretty much.
8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,880
I think we sort of started this
in January.
9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:37,000
It went out maybe early February
by the time we done an episode
10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,520
redone an episode.
It's wild how far we've come and
11
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,240
how quickly the honestly that
year has gone and the fact that
12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,040
none of us have given up on this
crazy idea to have a Lovejoy
13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,600
podcast.
Absolutely, Absolutely.
14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,320
It's gonna.
Ride.
15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,480
I know we've had a little bit of
a longer extended break over the
16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:05,120
holiday periods, as you folks
say, due to you 2 getting the
17
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:10,080
snivels and we wanted to get a
few bits done.
18
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:15,880
But yeah, a year is absolutely
flown by for me from January,
19
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,520
February, starting off with
trying to find things to say
20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,600
exactly.
And, and sometimes it would be
21
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,360
OK, we're recording on a
Saturday.
22
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,440
Great.
And then all of a sudden, the
23
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,960
band would come out with
something on a Friday to give us
24
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:36,040
something extra to talk about.
And we were all like, but yeah,
25
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,920
fantastic year.
Thank you very much.
26
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:42,240
Really, really enjoy it.
I really do enjoy it.
27
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,440
And I love waking up to 1000
messages some mornings.
28
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,320
Oh my God, have you seen this?
Have you done, You know?
29
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,880
It's been a.
Freaking blast because you're
30
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,640
all asleep.
Oh well, I might sound always
31
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,760
off, but I'm usually awake.
Yeah, it's been a ride.
32
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,480
It's been a ride, Dave, I would
totally echo those sentiments.
33
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,280
Thank you so much, you guys, for
everybody that's been listening
34
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,039
and supporting us.
We really appreciate it.
35
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,400
We're just, you know, we're,
we're just three silly people
36
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,560
here who love Lovejoy and, and,
you know, like to talk about
37
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,680
them.
So we really, really love having
38
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,680
you guys here.
And I can't believe it's been a
39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,320
year.
Time flies when you're having
40
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,800
fun, I guess.
But it's crazy to look back on
41
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,320
some of those first few
episodes.
42
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,080
Oh, we've come a long way, you
guys.
43
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,120
Actually, don't look back on
this first episode.
44
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,680
Cringe.
I mean, at least they're not
45
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,920
video.
Although Dave our little funny
46
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:44,200
clips, do we have videos from
our non video episodes in those
47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,000
as well?
Yeah, there's a few in there,
48
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,760
isn't there?
I think.
49
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,520
So we're not necessarily.
Looking at them but.
50
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,360
We weren't necessarily camera
ready, but because we were just
51
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,680
talking amongst ourselves.
But that's OK, I think.
52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,520
I hope you all appreciate that
we've come a long way since
53
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,320
those early days and even though
it's only been a year, we've got
54
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,360
a lot of experience and under
our belts.
55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,440
Yeah, absolutely.
Who could have guessed?
56
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,400
Well, first of all, we didn't
even know if we'd get to see
57
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,440
them in concert last year at
this time, thinking ahead about
58
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,400
when an album might be coming
out.
59
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,720
We knew it was in the future, in
the coming soon's dare I say.
60
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,360
But who also could have
predicted that we'd now have an
61
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,040
intro recorded by the band and
acknowledgement from the band,
62
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,000
even Mark going as far as to say
we're the official Lovejoy
63
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,600
podcast.
And he said he was glad that we
64
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,120
finally had stuff to talk about,
that he's divine Van, just
65
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,640
finally giving us things.
To discuss?
66
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,960
Absolutely.
There's no definites in Lovejoy,
67
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,640
only hopes.
You never know.
68
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,960
Straight from the horse's mouth
over the horse.
69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,480
So yeah, we all speculated.
We were all part of speculating
70
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,640
in the fandom, but yeah, so
never really knew for sure, no
71
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,960
matter what.
Absolutely.
72
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,680
Not or when no.
Yes.
73
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,519
They did.
Song order that we predicted.
74
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:19,640
I I caught that when re
listening to some episodes.
75
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,959
I remember you saying the next
song is going to be White Shark
76
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:24,240
Cafe, but I wasn't.
It was, I guess it was baptism
77
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,720
or comic.
Yeah, I mean, let's face it,
78
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:33,040
they even flipped a video which
was supposed to be for one song,
79
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,160
which with the left.
Right pain display.
80
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,720
Yeah, that was supposed to be
for death box, but they've used
81
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,240
it for pain display, so.
They keep us guessing, keep us
82
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,400
on our toes.
And yeah, even when we do speak
83
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,400
to them directly, it's still
with a grain of salt, right?
84
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:58,720
But yeah, it was nice to get the
the appreciation from the band
85
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,200
and we got to see them multiple
times.
86
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,880
The VIP experiences.
Dave got to hear the album
87
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,400
first, like this has been
spectacular.
88
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,800
So it makes me wonder like a
year from now, what will what
89
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,360
will we be talking about, right?
Yeah, the gig for me was it was,
90
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,040
as I've said before, it was a
real privilege to be there to
91
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,160
see this album apart from Death
Box to.
92
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,280
See this.
Album to look at the crowd, just
93
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:33,960
not in a way and then seeing
your videos on how the crowd are
94
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:37,080
wild.
Amazing.
95
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,960
What a privilege it was to be
able to get to that gig.
96
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:48,080
And I thank you too again.
But amazing, what an amazing
97
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,040
year we've all had.
Who'd have thought?
98
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,320
Who'd have thought?
And, you know, looking back at
99
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,800
some of our predictions from the
very beginning of this podcast,
100
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,120
yeah, it's interesting.
You you just never know.
101
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,240
And I tell you what, I think my
favorite part of that intro that
102
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,840
the boys were so lovely to
record for us is where Joe comes
103
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,320
right in with Facts are Coming.
Like yes.
104
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,280
That's great validation, man.
Heck yeah it is.
105
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:19,080
We're not just the National
Enquirer of podcasts here.
106
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,000
We're we're presenting facts
like actual news.
107
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,280
No idea what he was doing, but I
appreciate it.
108
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,120
Thank you, Joe.
So next we'd like to play for
109
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,520
you some funny clips, outtakes,
favorite moments from this past
110
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,080
year that we thought you might
enjoy hearing again, or maybe
111
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,280
you've been hearing for the
first time.
112
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,440
So let it roll, Dave.
Ready when you.
113
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:54,760
Are 321 Hello and welcome to the
first episode of the Lovejoy
114
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,760
Band News Podcast.
I'm your host Leslie and I'm
115
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,760
joined by my friends and Co
hosts Dave and Angie.
116
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,000
Regret not asking him is what's
his skin care routine?
117
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,080
He's got really, really lovely
skin.
118
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,880
Aw.
That's a fun.
119
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,520
Fact.
Most people might not, you know,
120
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,920
realize they see him from afar
when he's up on stage.
121
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,560
Yeah.
Are you pushing record?
122
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,120
Am I pushing record?
It's already recording.
123
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,280
Oh, look at that.
What the heck my?
124
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,760
Goodness.
A whole minute.
125
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,640
OK, I wasn't looking clearly.
Hello and welcome back to the
126
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:40,280
Lovejoy Nation Podcast.
Is that the fence?
127
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:47,560
So next.
Sorry, I couldn't hear that.
128
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,880
Pretend it's a drum.
You can hear the banging.
129
00:07:53,760 --> 00:08:00,720
Mm hmm.
Oh my God, this whole thing's
130
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:01,640
just.
Can we just start over?
131
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,400
Yes, over.
I feel completely
132
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,280
discombobulated.
Discombobulated and you're very
133
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,120
blurry again.
Dave, is it me?
134
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,680
I guess it's a bit like gaydar.
What?
135
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,280
OK, Dave, you're gonna play this
one.
136
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,600
Tell us you're.
Right, Dave?
137
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,240
He doesn't know how to explain
that one.
138
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,400
Oh I love being gay.
This is hilarious.
139
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,679
Oh my gosh.
Well, no.
140
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:54,160
Good one, Dave.
There's no contact.
141
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,200
I'm going to sit sit and explain
Gaydar to her for the next 4
142
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:00,760
hours.
Sure.
143
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:15,830
Sure, you just just.
Don't get it.
144
00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:20,510
Hello, I saw it say that.
What's?
145
00:09:20,510 --> 00:09:22,790
Going on, yeah, but it said no
people.
146
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:32,080
Yet right?
What's going on?
147
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,040
Where the heck would it stream
to?
148
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,560
If you're watching this, help us
out.
149
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,080
We don't know what we're doing.
Yeah, like jazz.
150
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:56,440
I really need to do that in an
American accent, Distant
151
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,120
memories and.
We haven't heard that, have we?
152
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,000
What?
Dave with an American accent.
153
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:08,600
No, we haven't.
No, Don't I need time to
154
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,440
practice?
Don't.
155
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,240
Sound like the present?
Doesn't stop me doing an
156
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,240
English.
One all right, Governor.
157
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,320
No, I can't do 1, Not off the
top of my head.
158
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,760
It's too much pressure.
You got to do it like my
159
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,160
daughter, says Tom Holland.
With the spider man.
160
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,160
It's like Gee Williger's, you
know?
161
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:45,600
Cartoon character.
Yeah, you don't.
162
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,960
Sure talks exciting like this.
You gotta talk.
163
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,560
I'm dumb about something.
I can do a lot of accents off
164
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:56,160
the top of me head, but American
I I find difficult.
165
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,760
I could probably go a cup of
coffee, but that's about it.
166
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,640
Oh.
That's like the New York, Yeah,
167
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:24,280
done OK lately.
I'm jealous of all the technical
168
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,600
difficulties.
I wanted some.
169
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:29,440
What about you, Angie?
I have to is there I'm hearing
170
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,480
like some serious background
noise you can all.
171
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,560
See it in her face.
Oh my God.
172
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:42,480
Dave.
Son of A he just take the wheel.
173
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,480
That's what I thought of, like a
race car.
174
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,600
I don't know if you thought of
anything else.
175
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,280
Yes, Dave.
I've got to take a chicken out
176
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,160
of the oven.
Just bear with me, I've just is.
177
00:11:52,160 --> 00:12:01,840
That what you want.
To chime in like he's really, Oh
178
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,600
my word, death box.
I love death box.
179
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:14,160
Oh, that's a little shit.
God damn it, take that out, I
180
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,400
said biting.
You were like, I thought you
181
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,720
were going to say, oh, poop.
I got to take the chicken out
182
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,600
because you were like.
Oh crap, take that out.
183
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,920
I was like, you have a chicken?
Too.
184
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,320
You were just saying it sounded
good.
185
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:34,280
Oh my God, where am I chicken?
Can we leave that in?
186
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,080
I feel like we should leave
that.
187
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,160
In because it's funny.
That's staying in.
188
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:43,720
I'm going to go with baptism
because I want to see Joe's.
189
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,640
I don't know what you call it,
his thing?
190
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,600
Yeah.
Do not put that in there.
191
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,280
You do that in there.
That's too good.
192
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,080
The biggest comedy hit?
This.
193
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,320
This should be the commercial
right here, this.
194
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,040
Has been an especially fun one
though.
195
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,800
All right, so that was a lot of
fun.
196
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,600
Thanks for sticking around and
I'd love to hear your thoughts
197
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,000
on that.
And maybe we left something out
198
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,800
that you thought was funny or
you remember that we.
199
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,840
Forgot I'll tell you.
There's so so many that we could
200
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,760
have chosen.
We could have had an 2 hour long
201
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,920
behind the scenes video for
sure.
202
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,640
So much.
Oh, and Speaking of behind the
203
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,240
scenes, that's it leads in.
That's a great transition, Dave,
204
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,320
that you accidentally you're.
Very welcome.
205
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,520
We just got a little snippet of
a video that looks like it was
206
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,640
recorded on like our parents,
you know, video cameras for like
207
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:54,000
a iPhone 4 of video from one of
the concerts last year of
208
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,760
Lovejoy and a little caption
that read that a behind the
209
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,800
scenes video of the tour will be
coming out next week as of this
210
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,880
recording on the Lovejoy
etcetera YouTube channel.
211
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,880
That's LVJYETC.
So be sure to check that out and
212
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,720
we'll be talking about that next
time I'm sure.
213
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,480
But that's very exciting to know
that they didn't just spring it
214
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,040
on us that we have you have
confirmation that in next week
215
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,880
we'll have a new Lovejoy video
to watch.
216
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:22,800
That's.
Great.
217
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:28,520
Well, Elodie was out there
recording everywhere, so I'm I'm
218
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,920
really excited to see it and she
did such a great job with the
219
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,560
with the movies too from the
summer.
220
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,480
So looking forward to seeing the
finished product and.
221
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,080
As Dave pointed out, we may be
it.
222
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,280
You might be able to spot us in
the crowds.
223
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,240
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
224
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,360
If you are at one of the gigs,
look for yourself too.
225
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,160
I mean, yeah, it it'll be fun.
I can't wait to watch it.
226
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,480
I hope it's longer than 8
minutes, right.
227
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,840
Yeah, that one thing was like 8
minutes long that.
228
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,880
Last one was a bit too short,
wasn't it?
229
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,560
That was just for a music video.
This is a whole like 28 stop
230
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,800
tour, so let's hope it's at
least 28 minutes.
231
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,360
One minute per gig at.
Least right, that's like that.
232
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,880
Well, settle for that.
It can't be one of those like 2
233
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,600
part movie things again.
Watching Elodie at the London
234
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,160
show, she she's just nonstop all
the way through.
235
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,120
Yeah, she's like a ninja, She.
She works tirelessly, don't she?
236
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,560
Capturing video from every
angle, everywhere.
237
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,560
And before and after the gigs,
she's, yeah, this like little
238
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,840
ray of sunshine.
Yeah, sweetheart.
239
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,040
And then when they came out the
door, she was first out the door
240
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:51,200
recording them.
I I'd love to see some of the
241
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,800
London gig in this behind the
scenes.
242
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,320
Who knows whether that happened?
All the videos.
243
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,920
Yeah.
Like their excitement, like for
244
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,480
presenting this for the first
time.
245
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,600
Their family friends are there.
They're best pals.
246
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,080
Like Dave.
They're.
247
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,760
Yeah.
Yeah.
248
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,240
And you've got some recognition,
too this past year.
249
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,920
I know.
I remember from manager Dave.
250
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,120
Yeah, from manager Dave.
Yeah, that was well, we've said
251
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,080
that before, but yeah, he
thanks.
252
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,880
That's OK, We could recap that
again.
253
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,360
I think it's worth it.
He thanked us.
254
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:34,400
I say us, although he said me,
it's us for for the work we've
255
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,400
done over this period of time
that Lovejoy Nation has been
256
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:45,000
going the podcast and for
keeping the the fandom going.
257
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,200
Very exciting.
That was the first, that was the
258
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,280
first time we've heard from any,
any of them like in that way.
259
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,000
Yeah.
So just does it have a little?
260
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,520
Validation once in a while.
Yeah, yeah.
261
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,480
Absolutely.
I mean, you know, just shook his
262
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,000
hand.
Music was blaring.
263
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,760
Tumble turning it down a bit,
you know.
264
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,640
Showing your age.
But it's the whole nightclub
265
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,240
thing where you've got to lean
and virtually kiss each other.
266
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,520
Just to do what?
You're saying?
267
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:16,839
Right.
Absolutely fantastic.
268
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,520
That really was good.
Sounds like a great night.
269
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,800
And by the way, my tongue's
blue.
270
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,800
Sorry.
That's staying in in.
271
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,160
Case anyone thinks like what's
happening?
272
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,720
I had some blue fruit by the
foot before.
273
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:42,600
OK, all right, so we also heard
from Wilbur via a YouTube video
274
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,160
where he did AQ and a he asked
fans to send him questions on
275
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,040
his Instagram stories and he
answered the most common, most
276
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,920
popular asked questions.
He also answered some questions
277
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,680
on the Reddit about the future
of Lovejoy and things coming up.
278
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,840
And even within his comments on
his YouTube video, he he
279
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,560
sometimes, you know, snuck in a
few crumbs of future things.
280
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:16,960
So well, I'm not 100% sure which
source provided which answers,
281
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,960
if it was video or the Reddit.
We do have some idea of things
282
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,560
to come for this year for
Lovejoy, right?
283
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,520
If I remember correctly.
Should we start off with maybe
284
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,800
spring a new single?
That is right it.
285
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,440
Was done on the video.
That was the video for sure.
286
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:42,920
Yes, it was mentioned something
along the lines of there will be
287
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,600
a new song.
I think he was on about music
288
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,160
videos wasn't he?
He was on about a new music
289
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,960
video for a song you have
already heard.
290
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,000
That sounds about right.
And that they guessed that.
291
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,440
I think that wasn't his YouTube
Q&A video.
292
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:58,040
Yeah.
OK.
293
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,520
And it made me think spring
makes sense because October 3rd
294
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,400
the album came out so April 3rd
would be about the six month
295
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,600
mark.
So maybe things would happen
296
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,880
like around the six month mark.
Maybe this there's been to be
297
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,240
talk of a deluxe album or an
album re released with extra
298
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:18,760
songs.
I.
299
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,480
Know we've sat in depth and
spoke about the deluxe many a
300
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:30,080
times and it has to be a deluxe
from what Ash has said.
301
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,200
Yeah, I mean, Ash has hinted at
it multiple times on The Red and
302
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,680
he's even used that asterisk as
a little, I think, symbol of
303
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,160
what the album will be.
So I think what we can probably
304
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,480
surmise from that is that we're
going to see a deluxe album and
305
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,680
like Leslie, like you said,
maybe around the six month
306
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,520
anniversary.
And based on that Spotify
307
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,720
Wrapped message that we saw at
the end of the year where Ash
308
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,600
was, yeah, where Ash was doing
the four fingers, I think we
309
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,200
can.
Probably pretty much tell that
310
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:10,120
there's going to be 4 new songs
on there and one of them is
311
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:12,480
probably Wasted Summer is my
guess.
312
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,680
I mean, I know it's not new,
new, new, but you know.
313
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:21,160
Which aligns with what Will said
with a song you've already
314
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,840
heard.
Exactly part of me.
315
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,840
Exactly.
Wasted Summer is going to be the
316
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,360
next big single.
Yes to.
317
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:35,000
Help promote the Dulux album.
Yep.
318
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,840
And about four months ago, when
Will did a big Q&A on the
319
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,520
Reddit, people were asking about
scrap tracks.
320
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,960
And Will basically said, you
know, we've heard you, you know,
321
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,640
talking about how we've cut the
tracks and we know you want to
322
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,160
hear them.
So our plan is to take some of
323
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,640
these tracks and put them
somewhere, you know, tracks that
324
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,600
maybe needed a little more time
to cook or tracks that just
325
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,680
didn't make the album.
And his quote was, I think
326
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,400
you're going to like our
solutions.
327
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,840
So yeah, pretty sure this deluxe
album is going to have those
328
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,680
scrap tracks, one of them which
is Wasted Summer.
329
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,520
What do you think is going to be
on apart from wasted summer?
330
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,040
Wasted summer.
I saw a TikTok and I don't know
331
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,840
if it was just me over analyzing
but I was thinking maybe there's
332
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,560
there's an old song and Ashes
alluded to it that he had
333
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,120
mentioned.
He liked it a lot.
334
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:32,520
It's called snake oil.
That's one of my guesses.
335
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,280
As far as some of the other ones
I know people have talked about
336
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,360
a lot like Coronado or main
character syndrome.
337
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,520
I don't think we'll see those,
so I'm going to go with snake
338
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,960
oil.
What got me is when we were
339
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:54,200
running through previous
episodes Mark did AQ and A for I
340
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,280
think it was on the on the gram
for gram beats.
341
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,120
It was in his Instagram stories.
Yeah, that's it.
342
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:02,880
And it's yeah on his on his gram
stories.
343
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:07,840
And somebody asked whether he
could play and part of his
344
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,240
favorite song.
And he delivered a note and then
345
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,120
somebody asked what was your
favorite song on the album?
346
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,720
And he just put now looking
back, because we've just
347
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,200
literally had a little
discussion about this, I believe
348
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:27,800
it's LTE initially when you
listen back to episode 2, I
349
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:34,720
might have said ITE, but I think
it's LTE now that wasn't on the
350
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,320
album.
Yeah, that's a good catch that
351
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,920
you caught that, because I do
now remember it.
352
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,280
Yeah, clearly, because we're
like, what does that stand for?
353
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,640
Remember, for longest, we didn't
know what OST stood for.
354
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,720
It's.
Like original soundtrack.
355
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,080
All of this speculating really
good I Dave.
356
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:55,040
That's yeah.
I was curious.
357
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,800
That would be interesting to
see.
358
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,760
It could be ITE, I'll just
clarify that it could be, but
359
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,600
LTE was the initials of the
song.
360
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,040
Now that's cool.
That's something that unless.
361
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:11,640
They've changed the name of the
song.
362
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,680
True, that's possible too.
But you know, no.
363
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,880
Did we ever figured out what
happened with Alphabet?
364
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,120
I know there was some people
saying that it had morphed into
365
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:29,280
Wasted Summer, but I don't know
if that's really true.
366
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:35,040
Boy, you know, remember when Ash
was using those emojis to
367
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,080
describe all the tracks?
I almost kind of feel like
368
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,760
Wasted Summer and Alphabet each
had different emojis at the
369
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,640
time, although I could have been
mistaken.
370
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,000
I don't know if anybody really,
does anybody really truly know
371
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,680
what happened there?
I mean, maybe we'll see
372
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,160
something like that pop up.
I I don't know.
373
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,120
Why did we think Alphabet was a
song?
374
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:56,080
Can you remember?
I remember they showed the
375
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,840
magnets like using the letters
almost.
376
00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:00,600
The magnets is that is that.
Really the only reason.
377
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,320
People were looking into there
was X amount missing and then
378
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,840
perhaps I think it just became
alphabet from what people were
379
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,560
saying.
Yeah, we don't even know if that
380
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,040
was really the title, do we?
No.
381
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,800
But you know what it's like I, I
remember again, looking back at
382
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:24,200
previous episodes, how we're
like, how could there be a song
383
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,320
called Death Box and a song
called White Shark Cafe?
384
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,360
Like those are weird titles,
like alphabets, Like another one
385
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:33,920
that's like, how could that be a
song alphabet?
386
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,400
But yeah, they make it work,
man.
387
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:42,160
Yeah, you never know.
Yeah, so, so do we have other
388
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,600
predictions?
For 2026 for Lovejoy, other than
389
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,080
these little crumbs that have
been dropped, do we have any
390
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:54,880
speculation as to.
Got to be Auk European Tour has
391
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,400
to be well even.
I know you've said predictions,
392
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,560
but even Asher said we're
working on Auk European Tour
393
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,560
before, I think he was
questioned about Australia, so
394
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,080
he'd like to go back to
Australia, but they're working
395
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,480
on Auk European Tour, so super
excited for that.
396
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,080
And then Bilber said something
about anywhere that'll have us.
397
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,480
I don't know if we've mentioned
that already on this this
398
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,480
episode.
I don't think anywhere that will
399
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,040
have us.
I myself not being negative but
400
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,760
I thought we might have heard
something by now Tor I.
401
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,640
Actually did too.
Yeah.
402
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,360
Or like a little hint or a
little like, absolutely make
403
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:38,240
sure that makes us all think of
something, you know?
404
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,320
Yeah.
So when Will says that I'm not
405
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,200
going to lie, looks at the
negative side and then when me
406
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,640
myself kind of expected to hear
something by now and we haven't
407
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,720
you start thinking about what
Will said.
408
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,520
Who knows?
I know that we we've had quite
409
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,960
an in depth discussion about it.
We still have some PTSD from
410
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:07,240
this past summer with cancelled
shows in Brighton, but it may be
411
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:14,840
we may just be basing our fears
upon that and and not on the the
412
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,880
fact that it made it's hard to
book a tour and all the people
413
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,600
in involved and that everybody
has to be available and the vet
414
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,640
news have to line up right and
travel arrangements and visas
415
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,200
and all those things.
So.
416
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,200
It has to be difficult.
Yeah.
417
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,320
It's a giant puzzle and you have
to try and make all the pieces
418
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,120
fit.
And I mean travel.
419
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:37,640
You have to make it logistically
worthwhile and I imagine it's
420
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,960
got to be very hard.
And then they're thrown in
421
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,280
festivals because we sort of
spoke about this a bit earlier.
422
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,120
Right.
And will the festivals be in the
423
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:48,480
US or will they be in the in
Europe?
424
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,360
Or, or wherever around Europe.
I mean, if, if they were doing,
425
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:57,920
let's just say in May, if
they're touring the, if they're
426
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,960
touring the UK and somebody
wants them in Malta.
427
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,760
I know we could have never
predicted Czech Republic, right?
428
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,280
Like.
Absolutely.
429
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:11,280
You know, who knows?
So you know, there are some big
430
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:16,640
Eastern European festivals, Dua
Lipa does one who so who knows?
431
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,560
Are they waiting for things like
that to come back?
432
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:25,400
Because logistics side, they've
got to finish a gig, then
433
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,400
they've got to fly out, do a
gig, fly back.
434
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,720
And even if we see a lineup put
out there for a festival, we
435
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,560
shouldn't necessarily be
discouraged because fans
436
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,640
continue to be added along the
way.
437
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:45,600
All the time.
And it is only January, so I
438
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,200
think they had to and not that
they necessarily making the
439
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,000
phone calls and booking
themselves everywhere.
440
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,560
They just did two months of
touring and then the holidays
441
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,000
came up and it's just like
decompression time and like
442
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,160
taking a breather for a bit.
Lord knows they need that for
443
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,600
their mental health and just all
around well-being.
444
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:11,880
I mean, Ash did also put on a
story about another day at the
445
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,200
Ideas Factory, yeah.
So they're still come up with
446
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,840
ideas, right?
So that's good.
447
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,520
It's not just recording because
you kind of have your idea a
448
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:21,840
little flushed out by that
point.
449
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,480
So that's exciting too.
I think we forget there's a lot
450
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,520
going on behind the scenes that
we don't necessarily know about.
451
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,480
Same thing with anvil cards.
I mean, we're talking about
452
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,160
predictions for 2026.
I think we already know there's
453
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,920
going to be a bunch of new anvil
cards.
454
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,080
I took AI took a peek.
If you look at the numbers, I
455
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,680
mean, there's 64 open spots if
you look at the first numbered
456
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,200
anvil card and the last numbered
anvil card.
457
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,760
And we know he's had an
Instagram post from a while ago
458
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,160
that showed a spreadsheet with,
you know, at least one song
459
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,400
title that we haven't seen in
anvil card before.
460
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:02,360
So anyway, that was a bit of a
diversion, but they've got a lot
461
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,720
of stuff going on that we don't
know about Consequences.
462
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,200
There's a spreadsheet and it
shows consequences and I there's
463
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,480
not a consequences card yet.
And just from a little chitter
464
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,120
chatter, you know that we've,
you know, that goes around in
465
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,720
the community, there's
definitely cards on the horizon.
466
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,840
But and I know Speaking of
cards, I know people are people
467
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:28,880
are probably still waiting for
their cards to come from the
468
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,280
American OST tour, from the
stops where cards were not quite
469
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,360
available yet because they
weren't back or hear from the
470
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,960
printers.
So I think we need to remember,
471
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,040
like I think Leslie, you had a
good point, just that.
472
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,960
You may have seen them in
concert in mid-october and feel
473
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:52,040
like man, it's been forever, but
they only got back-to-back home
474
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,040
end of November, maybe early
December.
475
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,440
So yeah, we have to cut them
some slack.
476
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,160
Although we are anxious to see
the cards.
477
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,960
I know we didn't have them for
our first gig and there was even
478
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,520
a show or two where they didn't
have posters, so people are
479
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,240
expecting posters to be mailed.
In addition, just from a
480
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:18,000
practical side of things, can't
help but feel badly about the
481
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,720
cost of the postage and the time
putting these packages together,
482
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,520
sending them to Canada and
America from the UK.
483
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,760
It looks as though Ash himself,
and probably with some help, has
484
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,680
been putting the packs of
valuable cards together himself.
485
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,080
Someone's getting a pack that
had like all super duper cards
486
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,440
in it.
I recall he's doing that by hand
487
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:40,560
and.
God.
488
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,640
Pack, you know what how many how
many packs you think that is?
489
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,360
And like not just hundreds,
maybe thousands because.
490
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,920
Of the different shows, I just
yeah I.
491
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,880
Mean and all these different
packages have to go out.
492
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,960
So it's just it is a lot to you
and you're you feel like you're
493
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,720
one person waiting for your
little pack to come in the mail.
494
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,240
But this isn't what they do.
This isn't what they do.
495
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,120
They're not eBay sellers,
They're not merch people.
496
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,040
So I know Will Wilbur was very
kind to reply to someone's
497
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,400
comment asking where these
things are, saying he would
498
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,440
nudge the merchandise team.
The merchandise team, for all we
499
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,640
know, is Ash and Elodie.
So just have patience.
500
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,800
They didn't forget.
They're not going to forget.
501
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,760
We're used to waiting with
Lovejoy, right?
502
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,320
We're used to things taking time
and being worse than in the end.
503
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,680
So I just felt like we need to
address that and hope that it
504
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,240
buys them a little more time
while they're figuring out those
505
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,440
logistics and getting that all
squared away so.
506
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,240
In the meantime, there's
something fun to look forward
507
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,480
to.
Absolutely.
508
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,600
I've just literally had a
thought.
509
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,840
Oh, Record Store Day.
Yes, yeah.
510
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:55,320
Now, now we know the previous
Record Store Day stuff probably
511
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,240
won't ever get released.
No.
512
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:05,560
Going back to some of the scrap
songs, will there be record
513
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,880
store day scrap?
Old scrap songs.
514
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,280
Because maybe they still don't
feel like Wasted Summer fits on
515
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,960
OST.
Because it doesn't really sound
516
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,200
like anything else.
You still think it's going to be
517
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,160
on OST?
I still think it's going to be
518
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:24,080
on there purely from what Will
said about Yeah, it's going to
519
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,880
be a song you've heard.
It's got to be it.
520
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,080
And was it?
Was it Mark or Joe said it needs
521
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,960
some more cooking or bacon or
whatever?
522
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,880
And they've been teasing it,
too, at the gigs in the American
523
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,120
shows.
Remember that, Leslie?
524
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,800
There's been at least a few
where they would start playing
525
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,880
part of it and people would be
like, then they would.
526
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:44,720
Stop playing.
Yeah, yeah.
527
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,640
Yeah.
All right, so, but maybe yeah,
528
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,120
Record Store Day something be
really cool April 20th.
529
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,440
Yeah, love to see Record Store
Day something or other.
530
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,720
That would be pretty cool.
And I think it would be neat
531
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:03,480
too, because to get these albums
in actual record stores and not
532
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,280
just on their website is really
neat.
533
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,120
And anything you do also to
support these small record
534
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,000
stores.
I fully understand they sell it
535
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,760
through their website.
Of course, someone to send it
536
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,800
out because what they actually
pay for somebody to to fulfill
537
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:23,880
it is minimal, whereas to get it
into a record shop, everybody's
538
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,480
got to have 20%.
Yeah, and those stores are
539
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,280
small.
I mean, they're not like Tower
540
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,720
Records like we used to have.
There's limited shelf space, you
541
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,920
know, so it's not easy.
And they're not chains.
542
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,760
So it's a lot of like mom and
pops.
543
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,920
But that's why Record Store Day
is great because it's sort of
544
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:48,840
brings them all together for
this twice a year event, sales
545
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,320
event.
It's nice and some of the stores
546
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,480
play by a little different rules
too.
547
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,880
I know in gosh, was it November
of 2023?
548
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,400
I think it was when that when
the Anvil Cat LP came out, we
549
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,920
Pebble and I sat, Oh God, it was
so cold.
550
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,239
But anyway, some of these
stores, and I'm getting off on
551
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,000
another tangent here.
If you let them know ahead of
552
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,920
time that you're looking for an
album, they will take that into
553
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,920
consideration.
So let's hope that there is a
554
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,960
Record Store Day.
Boy, that'd be great, wouldn't
555
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,600
it?
Maybe that could be one of our
556
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,199
predictions for 26.
Yeah, I don't know.
557
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,840
Yeah, let's do that.
I mean, that'd be let's do that,
558
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,440
let's put it on there.
I thought, what's the thing?
559
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,719
You know what, I thought you
were getting a pen out and going
560
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,520
to write April twenty 20th on
the screen.
561
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,600
No, this is more important.
I noticed it was less shiny than
562
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,520
I was earlier, so I had to
reshine.
563
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,440
That's because you were sticking
your tongue out.
564
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,440
Probably.
Oops.
565
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,159
Any other predictions?
They're.
566
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,600
Going to be back to the US
before the end of the year.
567
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,280
I don't know if that's a big
one, but I think that's pretty.
568
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,960
I think it's pretty probable.
I don't think I'm going way out
569
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:10,680
on a limb with that one.
Do you think end of 2026?
570
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,160
Yeah, possibly January this time
next year.
571
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:17,200
Well, they like making us wait
out in the cold.
572
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,080
That's.
All winter, fall, winter.
573
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,840
They like messing up our
Thanksgiving plans.
574
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,880
Yes, yes, Thanksgiving and
birthdays.
575
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:32,680
Oh yeah.
Do you know what I'd really
576
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,040
like?
Youngblood does his own festival
577
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,680
at Blood Fest.
I would love to see Lovejoy at
578
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:46,880
Blood Fest.
Huge because it all eyes are on
579
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,160
Youngblood right at this moment.
People are whinging and whining
580
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,320
because they thought there was
going to be an announcement of
581
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,800
Blood Fest.
They're.
582
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,680
Just waiting for the tickets and
it is such a fabulous one day
583
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,920
festival.
I'd love to see them on Blood
584
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,000
Fest that.
Would rock.
585
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,320
Oh wow, yeah, that'd be so cool.
What time of year is that
586
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,640
usually?
I'm guessing July.
587
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:15,280
Yeah, summer.
I think it's either July or
588
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,560
August.
And is it always in the same
589
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,480
place?
Yeah, Milton Keynes, Yeah.
590
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,400
We just want to talk also about
what we have in store for the
591
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,880
podcast this coming year.
We have some things lined up,
592
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,080
people waiting in the wings that
we plan to interview, including
593
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:37,720
a Lovejoy dad, a concert
photographer that has
594
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:43,160
photographed several Lovejoy
shows and all around sweet
595
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,560
person that we met over in
Chicago, as well as welcoming
596
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:51,200
back someone we interviewed last
year, Tyler, for an upcoming Are
597
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,920
You All Right episode.
We wanted to continue on with
598
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,720
our mental health series Are You
All right?
599
00:36:57,720 --> 00:37:00,800
We only got through one last
year because it got so exciting
600
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,280
with Lovejoy News and
Happenings, but we want to bring
601
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,920
that back.
So that's in the queue, so to
602
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,840
speak as well as well.
I'm sure for six month
603
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:17,280
anniversary of the album, we'll
talk some more about maybe our
604
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,480
favorite songs that have really
floated to the top.
605
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,400
Any new revelations about
Lyrics?
606
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:26,440
I feel like I have a lot to, I
want to discuss and dissect with
607
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,480
y'all when I'm in the shower
listening to the songs and like,
608
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,320
it's like a light bulb moment
happens.
609
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,480
And you know, we spoke about the
lyrics when we the album first
610
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,480
came out, but I the opinions of
mine have changed and meanings
611
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,560
of lyrics have changed for me as
I've listened.
612
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,800
So I think that might be
something we could do in the
613
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,920
future.
Any other things you'd like to
614
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,280
see for the podcast other than
those that I've mentioned so
615
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,600
far?
I still would really like an
616
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:57,000
anvil card.
Maybe artist, but an anvil card
617
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,240
podcast?
Sure.
618
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:04,080
So maybe when more come out.
I'm guessing they'll come out
619
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:11,040
for VIP.
If indeed we get a tour, I'd
620
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:12,680
love to do that.
Yeah.
621
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,600
That would be neat to talk to
them about their process and how
622
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,720
that would be great, how that
worked out, how they got that,
623
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,040
how they even got that, you
know, opportunity.
624
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,000
So for sure I'd love to do that
as well.
625
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,920
People that are listening, if
you've got some ideas for topics
626
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,000
you'd like us to cover, let us
know.
627
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:36,080
We would love to hear from you.
We are also going to be kicking
628
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,560
off our newsletter.
I know we've mentioned that you
629
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,640
could sign up for our newsletter
on our website, lvjynation.com.
630
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:49,080
We really want to get that going
and have it be a regular item.
631
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,040
And perhaps if you join our
mailing list, we'll send you
632
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,200
guys something in the mail for
joining.
633
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,760
We'd appreciate that.
As always, please reviews and
634
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:05,400
comments on the various channels
that you listen to us on.
635
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:10,160
Spotify reviews are great to to
see and comments we're on that
636
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,400
probably the most frequently.
But anywhere you listen to the
637
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,840
show, we would appreciate your
feedback.
638
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,400
And you can always find us on
the socials too.
639
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,720
And we appreciate you listening
and we look forward to another
640
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:25,200
year of Lovejoy chatter with
y'all.
641
00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:29,120
Thanks guys.
Thank you.
642
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,280
Very much happy New Year.
Till next time.
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:05,320
Hello, we are Lovejoy and you
are listening to the Lovejoy
2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:09,240
podcast.
Hello, Lovejoy Nation podcast,
3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,360
Hello love and Joyers facts are
coming.
4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,240
Hello and welcome to the Lovejoy
Nation podcast.
5
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,920
It is episode 16 and in addition
to that, we are officially just
6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,560
about at the year mark.
Dave, would you say you're our
7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,000
feel like you're?
Pretty much.
8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,880
I think we sort of started this
in January.
9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:37,000
It went out maybe early February
by the time we done an episode
10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,520
redone an episode.
It's wild how far we've come and
11
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,240
how quickly the honestly that
year has gone and the fact that
12
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,040
none of us have given up on this
crazy idea to have a Lovejoy
13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,600
podcast.
Absolutely, Absolutely.
14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,320
It's gonna.
Ride.
15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,480
I know we've had a little bit of
a longer extended break over the
16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:05,120
holiday periods, as you folks
say, due to you 2 getting the
17
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:10,080
snivels and we wanted to get a
few bits done.
18
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:15,880
But yeah, a year is absolutely
flown by for me from January,
19
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,520
February, starting off with
trying to find things to say
20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,600
exactly.
And, and sometimes it would be
21
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,360
OK, we're recording on a
Saturday.
22
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,440
Great.
And then all of a sudden, the
23
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,960
band would come out with
something on a Friday to give us
24
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:36,040
something extra to talk about.
And we were all like, but yeah,
25
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,920
fantastic year.
Thank you very much.
26
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:42,240
Really, really enjoy it.
I really do enjoy it.
27
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,440
And I love waking up to 1000
messages some mornings.
28
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,320
Oh my God, have you seen this?
Have you done, You know?
29
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,880
It's been a.
Freaking blast because you're
30
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,640
all asleep.
Oh well, I might sound always
31
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,760
off, but I'm usually awake.
Yeah, it's been a ride.
32
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,480
It's been a ride, Dave, I would
totally echo those sentiments.
33
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,280
Thank you so much, you guys, for
everybody that's been listening
34
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,039
and supporting us.
We really appreciate it.
35
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,400
We're just, you know, we're,
we're just three silly people
36
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,560
here who love Lovejoy and, and,
you know, like to talk about
37
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,680
them.
So we really, really love having
38
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,680
you guys here.
And I can't believe it's been a
39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,320
year.
Time flies when you're having
40
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,800
fun, I guess.
But it's crazy to look back on
41
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,320
some of those first few
episodes.
42
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,080
Oh, we've come a long way, you
guys.
43
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,120
Actually, don't look back on
this first episode.
44
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,680
Cringe.
I mean, at least they're not
45
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,920
video.
Although Dave our little funny
46
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:44,200
clips, do we have videos from
our non video episodes in those
47
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,000
as well?
Yeah, there's a few in there,
48
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:46,760
isn't there?
I think.
49
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,520
So we're not necessarily.
Looking at them but.
50
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,360
We weren't necessarily camera
ready, but because we were just
51
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,680
talking amongst ourselves.
But that's OK, I think.
52
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,520
I hope you all appreciate that
we've come a long way since
53
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,320
those early days and even though
it's only been a year, we've got
54
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,360
a lot of experience and under
our belts.
55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,440
Yeah, absolutely.
Who could have guessed?
56
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,400
Well, first of all, we didn't
even know if we'd get to see
57
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,440
them in concert last year at
this time, thinking ahead about
58
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,400
when an album might be coming
out.
59
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,720
We knew it was in the future, in
the coming soon's dare I say.
60
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,360
But who also could have
predicted that we'd now have an
61
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,040
intro recorded by the band and
acknowledgement from the band,
62
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,000
even Mark going as far as to say
we're the official Lovejoy
63
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,600
podcast.
And he said he was glad that we
64
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,120
finally had stuff to talk about,
that he's divine Van, just
65
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,640
finally giving us things.
To discuss?
66
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,960
Absolutely.
There's no definites in Lovejoy,
67
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,640
only hopes.
You never know.
68
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,960
Straight from the horse's mouth
over the horse.
69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,480
So yeah, we all speculated.
We were all part of speculating
70
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:05,640
in the fandom, but yeah, so
never really knew for sure, no
71
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:06,960
matter what.
Absolutely.
72
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,680
Not or when no.
Yes.
73
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,519
They did.
Song order that we predicted.
74
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:19,640
I I caught that when re
listening to some episodes.
75
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,959
I remember you saying the next
song is going to be White Shark
76
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:24,240
Cafe, but I wasn't.
It was, I guess it was baptism
77
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,720
or comic.
Yeah, I mean, let's face it,
78
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:33,040
they even flipped a video which
was supposed to be for one song,
79
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,160
which with the left.
Right pain display.
80
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,720
Yeah, that was supposed to be
for death box, but they've used
81
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,240
it for pain display, so.
They keep us guessing, keep us
82
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,400
on our toes.
And yeah, even when we do speak
83
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,400
to them directly, it's still
with a grain of salt, right?
84
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:58,720
But yeah, it was nice to get the
the appreciation from the band
85
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,200
and we got to see them multiple
times.
86
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,880
The VIP experiences.
Dave got to hear the album
87
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,400
first, like this has been
spectacular.
88
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,800
So it makes me wonder like a
year from now, what will what
89
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,360
will we be talking about, right?
Yeah, the gig for me was it was,
90
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,040
as I've said before, it was a
real privilege to be there to
91
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,160
see this album apart from Death
Box to.
92
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,280
See this.
Album to look at the crowd, just
93
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:33,960
not in a way and then seeing
your videos on how the crowd are
94
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:37,080
wild.
Amazing.
95
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,960
What a privilege it was to be
able to get to that gig.
96
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:48,080
And I thank you too again.
But amazing, what an amazing
97
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,040
year we've all had.
Who'd have thought?
98
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,320
Who'd have thought?
And, you know, looking back at
99
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,800
some of our predictions from the
very beginning of this podcast,
100
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,120
yeah, it's interesting.
You you just never know.
101
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,240
And I tell you what, I think my
favorite part of that intro that
102
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,840
the boys were so lovely to
record for us is where Joe comes
103
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,320
right in with Facts are Coming.
Like yes.
104
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,280
That's great validation, man.
Heck yeah it is.
105
00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:19,080
We're not just the National
Enquirer of podcasts here.
106
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,000
We're we're presenting facts
like actual news.
107
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,280
No idea what he was doing, but I
appreciate it.
108
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,120
Thank you, Joe.
So next we'd like to play for
109
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,520
you some funny clips, outtakes,
favorite moments from this past
110
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,080
year that we thought you might
enjoy hearing again, or maybe
111
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,280
you've been hearing for the
first time.
112
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,440
So let it roll, Dave.
Ready when you.
113
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:54,760
Are 321 Hello and welcome to the
first episode of the Lovejoy
114
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,760
Band News Podcast.
I'm your host Leslie and I'm
115
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,760
joined by my friends and Co
hosts Dave and Angie.
116
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,000
Regret not asking him is what's
his skin care routine?
117
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,080
He's got really, really lovely
skin.
118
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:13,880
Aw.
That's a fun.
119
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,520
Fact.
Most people might not, you know,
120
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,920
realize they see him from afar
when he's up on stage.
121
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,560
Yeah.
Are you pushing record?
122
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,120
Am I pushing record?
It's already recording.
123
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,280
Oh, look at that.
What the heck my?
124
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,760
Goodness.
A whole minute.
125
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,640
OK, I wasn't looking clearly.
Hello and welcome back to the
126
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:40,280
Lovejoy Nation Podcast.
Is that the fence?
127
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:47,560
So next.
Sorry, I couldn't hear that.
128
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,880
Pretend it's a drum.
You can hear the banging.
129
00:07:53,760 --> 00:08:00,720
Mm hmm.
Oh my God, this whole thing's
130
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:01,640
just.
Can we just start over?
131
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,400
Yes, over.
I feel completely
132
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:11,280
discombobulated.
Discombobulated and you're very
133
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,120
blurry again.
Dave, is it me?
134
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,680
I guess it's a bit like gaydar.
What?
135
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,280
OK, Dave, you're gonna play this
one.
136
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,600
Tell us you're.
Right, Dave?
137
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,240
He doesn't know how to explain
that one.
138
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,400
Oh I love being gay.
This is hilarious.
139
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,679
Oh my gosh.
Well, no.
140
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:54,160
Good one, Dave.
There's no contact.
141
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,200
I'm going to sit sit and explain
Gaydar to her for the next 4
142
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:00,760
hours.
Sure.
143
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:15,830
Sure, you just just.
Don't get it.
144
00:09:16,990 --> 00:09:20,510
Hello, I saw it say that.
What's?
145
00:09:20,510 --> 00:09:22,790
Going on, yeah, but it said no
people.
146
00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:32,080
Yet right?
What's going on?
147
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,040
Where the heck would it stream
to?
148
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,560
If you're watching this, help us
out.
149
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,080
We don't know what we're doing.
Yeah, like jazz.
150
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:56,440
I really need to do that in an
American accent, Distant
151
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,120
memories and.
We haven't heard that, have we?
152
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,000
What?
Dave with an American accent.
153
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:08,600
No, we haven't.
No, Don't I need time to
154
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,440
practice?
Don't.
155
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,240
Sound like the present?
Doesn't stop me doing an
156
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,240
English.
One all right, Governor.
157
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,320
No, I can't do 1, Not off the
top of my head.
158
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,760
It's too much pressure.
You got to do it like my
159
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,160
daughter, says Tom Holland.
With the spider man.
160
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,160
It's like Gee Williger's, you
know?
161
00:10:42,560 --> 00:10:45,600
Cartoon character.
Yeah, you don't.
162
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,960
Sure talks exciting like this.
You gotta talk.
163
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,560
I'm dumb about something.
I can do a lot of accents off
164
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:56,160
the top of me head, but American
I I find difficult.
165
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,760
I could probably go a cup of
coffee, but that's about it.
166
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,640
Oh.
That's like the New York, Yeah,
167
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:24,280
done OK lately.
I'm jealous of all the technical
168
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,600
difficulties.
I wanted some.
169
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:29,440
What about you, Angie?
I have to is there I'm hearing
170
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,480
like some serious background
noise you can all.
171
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,560
See it in her face.
Oh my God.
172
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:42,480
Dave.
Son of A he just take the wheel.
173
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:45,480
That's what I thought of, like a
race car.
174
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,600
I don't know if you thought of
anything else.
175
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,280
Yes, Dave.
I've got to take a chicken out
176
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,160
of the oven.
Just bear with me, I've just is.
177
00:11:52,160 --> 00:12:01,840
That what you want.
To chime in like he's really, Oh
178
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,600
my word, death box.
I love death box.
179
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:14,160
Oh, that's a little shit.
God damn it, take that out, I
180
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,400
said biting.
You were like, I thought you
181
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,720
were going to say, oh, poop.
I got to take the chicken out
182
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,600
because you were like.
Oh crap, take that out.
183
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,920
I was like, you have a chicken?
Too.
184
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,320
You were just saying it sounded
good.
185
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:34,280
Oh my God, where am I chicken?
Can we leave that in?
186
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,080
I feel like we should leave
that.
187
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,160
In because it's funny.
That's staying in.
188
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:43,720
I'm going to go with baptism
because I want to see Joe's.
189
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,640
I don't know what you call it,
his thing?
190
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,600
Yeah.
Do not put that in there.
191
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,280
You do that in there.
That's too good.
192
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,080
The biggest comedy hit?
This.
193
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,320
This should be the commercial
right here, this.
194
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,040
Has been an especially fun one
though.
195
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,800
All right, so that was a lot of
fun.
196
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,600
Thanks for sticking around and
I'd love to hear your thoughts
197
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,000
on that.
And maybe we left something out
198
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,800
that you thought was funny or
you remember that we.
199
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,840
Forgot I'll tell you.
There's so so many that we could
200
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,760
have chosen.
We could have had an 2 hour long
201
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,920
behind the scenes video for
sure.
202
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,640
So much.
Oh, and Speaking of behind the
203
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,240
scenes, that's it leads in.
That's a great transition, Dave,
204
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,320
that you accidentally you're.
Very welcome.
205
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,520
We just got a little snippet of
a video that looks like it was
206
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,640
recorded on like our parents,
you know, video cameras for like
207
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:54,000
a iPhone 4 of video from one of
the concerts last year of
208
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,760
Lovejoy and a little caption
that read that a behind the
209
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,800
scenes video of the tour will be
coming out next week as of this
210
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,880
recording on the Lovejoy
etcetera YouTube channel.
211
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,880
That's LVJYETC.
So be sure to check that out and
212
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,720
we'll be talking about that next
time I'm sure.
213
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,480
But that's very exciting to know
that they didn't just spring it
214
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,040
on us that we have you have
confirmation that in next week
215
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:21,880
we'll have a new Lovejoy video
to watch.
216
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:22,800
That's.
Great.
217
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:28,520
Well, Elodie was out there
recording everywhere, so I'm I'm
218
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,920
really excited to see it and she
did such a great job with the
219
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,560
with the movies too from the
summer.
220
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,480
So looking forward to seeing the
finished product and.
221
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,080
As Dave pointed out, we may be
it.
222
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,280
You might be able to spot us in
the crowds.
223
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,240
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah.
224
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,360
If you are at one of the gigs,
look for yourself too.
225
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,160
I mean, yeah, it it'll be fun.
I can't wait to watch it.
226
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,480
I hope it's longer than 8
minutes, right.
227
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,840
Yeah, that one thing was like 8
minutes long that.
228
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:03,880
Last one was a bit too short,
wasn't it?
229
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,560
That was just for a music video.
This is a whole like 28 stop
230
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,800
tour, so let's hope it's at
least 28 minutes.
231
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,360
One minute per gig at.
Least right, that's like that.
232
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,880
Well, settle for that.
It can't be one of those like 2
233
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,600
part movie things again.
Watching Elodie at the London
234
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,160
show, she she's just nonstop all
the way through.
235
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,120
Yeah, she's like a ninja, She.
She works tirelessly, don't she?
236
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,560
Capturing video from every
angle, everywhere.
237
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,560
And before and after the gigs,
she's, yeah, this like little
238
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,840
ray of sunshine.
Yeah, sweetheart.
239
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,040
And then when they came out the
door, she was first out the door
240
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:51,200
recording them.
I I'd love to see some of the
241
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,800
London gig in this behind the
scenes.
242
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,320
Who knows whether that happened?
All the videos.
243
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,920
Yeah.
Like their excitement, like for
244
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:02,480
presenting this for the first
time.
245
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,600
Their family friends are there.
They're best pals.
246
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,080
Like Dave.
They're.
247
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,760
Yeah.
Yeah.
248
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,240
And you've got some recognition,
too this past year.
249
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,920
I know.
I remember from manager Dave.
250
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,120
Yeah, from manager Dave.
Yeah, that was well, we've said
251
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,080
that before, but yeah, he
thanks.
252
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:23,880
That's OK, We could recap that
again.
253
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,360
I think it's worth it.
He thanked us.
254
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:34,400
I say us, although he said me,
it's us for for the work we've
255
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,400
done over this period of time
that Lovejoy Nation has been
256
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:45,000
going the podcast and for
keeping the the fandom going.
257
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,200
Very exciting.
That was the first, that was the
258
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,280
first time we've heard from any,
any of them like in that way.
259
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,000
Yeah.
So just does it have a little?
260
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,520
Validation once in a while.
Yeah, yeah.
261
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,480
Absolutely.
I mean, you know, just shook his
262
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,000
hand.
Music was blaring.
263
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:03,760
Tumble turning it down a bit,
you know.
264
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,640
Showing your age.
But it's the whole nightclub
265
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,240
thing where you've got to lean
and virtually kiss each other.
266
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,520
Just to do what?
You're saying?
267
00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:16,839
Right.
Absolutely fantastic.
268
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,520
That really was good.
Sounds like a great night.
269
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,800
And by the way, my tongue's
blue.
270
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,800
Sorry.
That's staying in in.
271
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,160
Case anyone thinks like what's
happening?
272
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,720
I had some blue fruit by the
foot before.
273
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:42,600
OK, all right, so we also heard
from Wilbur via a YouTube video
274
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,160
where he did AQ and a he asked
fans to send him questions on
275
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,040
his Instagram stories and he
answered the most common, most
276
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,920
popular asked questions.
He also answered some questions
277
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,680
on the Reddit about the future
of Lovejoy and things coming up.
278
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,840
And even within his comments on
his YouTube video, he he
279
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,560
sometimes, you know, snuck in a
few crumbs of future things.
280
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:16,960
So well, I'm not 100% sure which
source provided which answers,
281
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,960
if it was video or the Reddit.
We do have some idea of things
282
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,560
to come for this year for
Lovejoy, right?
283
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:30,520
If I remember correctly.
Should we start off with maybe
284
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,800
spring a new single?
That is right it.
285
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,440
Was done on the video.
That was the video for sure.
286
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:42,920
Yes, it was mentioned something
along the lines of there will be
287
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,600
a new song.
I think he was on about music
288
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,160
videos wasn't he?
He was on about a new music
289
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,960
video for a song you have
already heard.
290
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,000
That sounds about right.
And that they guessed that.
291
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,440
I think that wasn't his YouTube
Q&A video.
292
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:58,040
Yeah.
OK.
293
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,520
And it made me think spring
makes sense because October 3rd
294
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:08,400
the album came out so April 3rd
would be about the six month
295
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,600
mark.
So maybe things would happen
296
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,880
like around the six month mark.
Maybe this there's been to be
297
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,240
talk of a deluxe album or an
album re released with extra
298
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:18,760
songs.
I.
299
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,480
Know we've sat in depth and
spoke about the deluxe many a
300
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:30,080
times and it has to be a deluxe
from what Ash has said.
301
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,200
Yeah, I mean, Ash has hinted at
it multiple times on The Red and
302
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,680
he's even used that asterisk as
a little, I think, symbol of
303
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,160
what the album will be.
So I think what we can probably
304
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,480
surmise from that is that we're
going to see a deluxe album and
305
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,680
like Leslie, like you said,
maybe around the six month
306
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,520
anniversary.
And based on that Spotify
307
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,720
Wrapped message that we saw at
the end of the year where Ash
308
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,600
was, yeah, where Ash was doing
the four fingers, I think we
309
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,200
can.
Probably pretty much tell that
310
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:10,120
there's going to be 4 new songs
on there and one of them is
311
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:12,480
probably Wasted Summer is my
guess.
312
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,680
I mean, I know it's not new,
new, new, but you know.
313
00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:21,160
Which aligns with what Will said
with a song you've already
314
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,840
heard.
Exactly part of me.
315
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,840
Exactly.
Wasted Summer is going to be the
316
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,360
next big single.
Yes to.
317
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:35,000
Help promote the Dulux album.
Yep.
318
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,840
And about four months ago, when
Will did a big Q&A on the
319
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:42,520
Reddit, people were asking about
scrap tracks.
320
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,960
And Will basically said, you
know, we've heard you, you know,
321
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,640
talking about how we've cut the
tracks and we know you want to
322
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:53,160
hear them.
So our plan is to take some of
323
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,640
these tracks and put them
somewhere, you know, tracks that
324
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,600
maybe needed a little more time
to cook or tracks that just
325
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,680
didn't make the album.
And his quote was, I think
326
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,400
you're going to like our
solutions.
327
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,840
So yeah, pretty sure this deluxe
album is going to have those
328
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,680
scrap tracks, one of them which
is Wasted Summer.
329
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,520
What do you think is going to be
on apart from wasted summer?
330
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,040
Wasted summer.
I saw a TikTok and I don't know
331
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,840
if it was just me over analyzing
but I was thinking maybe there's
332
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,560
there's an old song and Ashes
alluded to it that he had
333
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,120
mentioned.
He liked it a lot.
334
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:32,520
It's called snake oil.
That's one of my guesses.
335
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,280
As far as some of the other ones
I know people have talked about
336
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,360
a lot like Coronado or main
character syndrome.
337
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,520
I don't think we'll see those,
so I'm going to go with snake
338
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,960
oil.
What got me is when we were
339
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:54,200
running through previous
episodes Mark did AQ and A for I
340
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,280
think it was on the on the gram
for gram beats.
341
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,120
It was in his Instagram stories.
Yeah, that's it.
342
00:22:00,120 --> 00:22:02,880
And it's yeah on his on his gram
stories.
343
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:07,840
And somebody asked whether he
could play and part of his
344
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,240
favorite song.
And he delivered a note and then
345
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,120
somebody asked what was your
favorite song on the album?
346
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,720
And he just put now looking
back, because we've just
347
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,200
literally had a little
discussion about this, I believe
348
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:27,800
it's LTE initially when you
listen back to episode 2, I
349
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:34,720
might have said ITE, but I think
it's LTE now that wasn't on the
350
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,320
album.
Yeah, that's a good catch that
351
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,920
you caught that, because I do
now remember it.
352
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,280
Yeah, clearly, because we're
like, what does that stand for?
353
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,640
Remember, for longest, we didn't
know what OST stood for.
354
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,720
It's.
Like original soundtrack.
355
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,080
All of this speculating really
good I Dave.
356
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:55,040
That's yeah.
I was curious.
357
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,800
That would be interesting to
see.
358
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,760
It could be ITE, I'll just
clarify that it could be, but
359
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,600
LTE was the initials of the
song.
360
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,040
Now that's cool.
That's something that unless.
361
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:11,640
They've changed the name of the
song.
362
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,680
True, that's possible too.
But you know, no.
363
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,880
Did we ever figured out what
happened with Alphabet?
364
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,120
I know there was some people
saying that it had morphed into
365
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:29,280
Wasted Summer, but I don't know
if that's really true.
366
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:35,040
Boy, you know, remember when Ash
was using those emojis to
367
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,080
describe all the tracks?
I almost kind of feel like
368
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,760
Wasted Summer and Alphabet each
had different emojis at the
369
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,640
time, although I could have been
mistaken.
370
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,000
I don't know if anybody really,
does anybody really truly know
371
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,680
what happened there?
I mean, maybe we'll see
372
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,160
something like that pop up.
I I don't know.
373
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,120
Why did we think Alphabet was a
song?
374
00:23:54,120 --> 00:23:56,080
Can you remember?
I remember they showed the
375
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,840
magnets like using the letters
almost.
376
00:23:58,120 --> 00:24:00,600
The magnets is that is that.
Really the only reason.
377
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,320
People were looking into there
was X amount missing and then
378
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:09,840
perhaps I think it just became
alphabet from what people were
379
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,560
saying.
Yeah, we don't even know if that
380
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,040
was really the title, do we?
No.
381
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,800
But you know what it's like I, I
remember again, looking back at
382
00:24:21,120 --> 00:24:24,200
previous episodes, how we're
like, how could there be a song
383
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,320
called Death Box and a song
called White Shark Cafe?
384
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,360
Like those are weird titles,
like alphabets, Like another one
385
00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:33,920
that's like, how could that be a
song alphabet?
386
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,400
But yeah, they make it work,
man.
387
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:42,160
Yeah, you never know.
Yeah, so, so do we have other
388
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,600
predictions?
For 2026 for Lovejoy, other than
389
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,080
these little crumbs that have
been dropped, do we have any
390
00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:54,880
speculation as to.
Got to be Auk European Tour has
391
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,400
to be well even.
I know you've said predictions,
392
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,560
but even Asher said we're
working on Auk European Tour
393
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,560
before, I think he was
questioned about Australia, so
394
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,080
he'd like to go back to
Australia, but they're working
395
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,480
on Auk European Tour, so super
excited for that.
396
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,080
And then Bilber said something
about anywhere that'll have us.
397
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,480
I don't know if we've mentioned
that already on this this
398
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,480
episode.
I don't think anywhere that will
399
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,040
have us.
I myself not being negative but
400
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,760
I thought we might have heard
something by now Tor I.
401
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,640
Actually did too.
Yeah.
402
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,360
Or like a little hint or a
little like, absolutely make
403
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:38,240
sure that makes us all think of
something, you know?
404
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,320
Yeah.
So when Will says that I'm not
405
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,200
going to lie, looks at the
negative side and then when me
406
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,640
myself kind of expected to hear
something by now and we haven't
407
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,720
you start thinking about what
Will said.
408
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,520
Who knows?
I know that we we've had quite
409
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,960
an in depth discussion about it.
We still have some PTSD from
410
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:07,240
this past summer with cancelled
shows in Brighton, but it may be
411
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:14,840
we may just be basing our fears
upon that and and not on the the
412
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,880
fact that it made it's hard to
book a tour and all the people
413
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,600
in involved and that everybody
has to be available and the vet
414
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:26,640
news have to line up right and
travel arrangements and visas
415
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,200
and all those things.
So.
416
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,200
It has to be difficult.
Yeah.
417
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,320
It's a giant puzzle and you have
to try and make all the pieces
418
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,120
fit.
And I mean travel.
419
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:37,640
You have to make it logistically
worthwhile and I imagine it's
420
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,960
got to be very hard.
And then they're thrown in
421
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,280
festivals because we sort of
spoke about this a bit earlier.
422
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,120
Right.
And will the festivals be in the
423
00:26:46,360 --> 00:26:48,480
US or will they be in the in
Europe?
424
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,360
Or, or wherever around Europe.
I mean, if, if they were doing,
425
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:57,920
let's just say in May, if
they're touring the, if they're
426
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,960
touring the UK and somebody
wants them in Malta.
427
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,760
I know we could have never
predicted Czech Republic, right?
428
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,280
Like.
Absolutely.
429
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:11,280
You know, who knows?
So you know, there are some big
430
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:16,640
Eastern European festivals, Dua
Lipa does one who so who knows?
431
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,560
Are they waiting for things like
that to come back?
432
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:25,400
Because logistics side, they've
got to finish a gig, then
433
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,400
they've got to fly out, do a
gig, fly back.
434
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:34,720
And even if we see a lineup put
out there for a festival, we
435
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,560
shouldn't necessarily be
discouraged because fans
436
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,640
continue to be added along the
way.
437
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:45,600
All the time.
And it is only January, so I
438
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,200
think they had to and not that
they necessarily making the
439
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,000
phone calls and booking
themselves everywhere.
440
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,560
They just did two months of
touring and then the holidays
441
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,000
came up and it's just like
decompression time and like
442
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,160
taking a breather for a bit.
Lord knows they need that for
443
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,600
their mental health and just all
around well-being.
444
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:11,880
I mean, Ash did also put on a
story about another day at the
445
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,200
Ideas Factory, yeah.
So they're still come up with
446
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:16,840
ideas, right?
So that's good.
447
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,520
It's not just recording because
you kind of have your idea a
448
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:21,840
little flushed out by that
point.
449
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,480
So that's exciting too.
I think we forget there's a lot
450
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,520
going on behind the scenes that
we don't necessarily know about.
451
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,480
Same thing with anvil cards.
I mean, we're talking about
452
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,160
predictions for 2026.
I think we already know there's
453
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,920
going to be a bunch of new anvil
cards.
454
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,080
I took AI took a peek.
If you look at the numbers, I
455
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,680
mean, there's 64 open spots if
you look at the first numbered
456
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,200
anvil card and the last numbered
anvil card.
457
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,760
And we know he's had an
Instagram post from a while ago
458
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,160
that showed a spreadsheet with,
you know, at least one song
459
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,400
title that we haven't seen in
anvil card before.
460
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:02,360
So anyway, that was a bit of a
diversion, but they've got a lot
461
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,720
of stuff going on that we don't
know about Consequences.
462
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,200
There's a spreadsheet and it
shows consequences and I there's
463
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,480
not a consequences card yet.
And just from a little chitter
464
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,120
chatter, you know that we've,
you know, that goes around in
465
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,720
the community, there's
definitely cards on the horizon.
466
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,840
But and I know Speaking of
cards, I know people are people
467
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:28,880
are probably still waiting for
their cards to come from the
468
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,280
American OST tour, from the
stops where cards were not quite
469
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,360
available yet because they
weren't back or hear from the
470
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,960
printers.
So I think we need to remember,
471
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,040
like I think Leslie, you had a
good point, just that.
472
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,960
You may have seen them in
concert in mid-october and feel
473
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:52,040
like man, it's been forever, but
they only got back-to-back home
474
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,040
end of November, maybe early
December.
475
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,440
So yeah, we have to cut them
some slack.
476
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,160
Although we are anxious to see
the cards.
477
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,960
I know we didn't have them for
our first gig and there was even
478
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:09,520
a show or two where they didn't
have posters, so people are
479
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:13,240
expecting posters to be mailed.
In addition, just from a
480
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:18,000
practical side of things, can't
help but feel badly about the
481
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,720
cost of the postage and the time
putting these packages together,
482
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,520
sending them to Canada and
America from the UK.
483
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,760
It looks as though Ash himself,
and probably with some help, has
484
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,680
been putting the packs of
valuable cards together himself.
485
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:36,080
Someone's getting a pack that
had like all super duper cards
486
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,440
in it.
I recall he's doing that by hand
487
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:40,560
and.
God.
488
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,640
Pack, you know what how many how
many packs you think that is?
489
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,360
And like not just hundreds,
maybe thousands because.
490
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,920
Of the different shows, I just
yeah I.
491
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,880
Mean and all these different
packages have to go out.
492
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,960
So it's just it is a lot to you
and you're you feel like you're
493
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,720
one person waiting for your
little pack to come in the mail.
494
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:04,240
But this isn't what they do.
This isn't what they do.
495
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,120
They're not eBay sellers,
They're not merch people.
496
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,040
So I know Will Wilbur was very
kind to reply to someone's
497
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,400
comment asking where these
things are, saying he would
498
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,440
nudge the merchandise team.
The merchandise team, for all we
499
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,640
know, is Ash and Elodie.
So just have patience.
500
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,800
They didn't forget.
They're not going to forget.
501
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,760
We're used to waiting with
Lovejoy, right?
502
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,320
We're used to things taking time
and being worse than in the end.
503
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,680
So I just felt like we need to
address that and hope that it
504
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:34,240
buys them a little more time
while they're figuring out those
505
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,440
logistics and getting that all
squared away so.
506
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,240
In the meantime, there's
something fun to look forward
507
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,480
to.
Absolutely.
508
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,600
I've just literally had a
thought.
509
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,840
Oh, Record Store Day.
Yes, yeah.
510
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:55,320
Now, now we know the previous
Record Store Day stuff probably
511
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,240
won't ever get released.
No.
512
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:05,560
Going back to some of the scrap
songs, will there be record
513
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,880
store day scrap?
Old scrap songs.
514
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,280
Because maybe they still don't
feel like Wasted Summer fits on
515
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,960
OST.
Because it doesn't really sound
516
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,200
like anything else.
You still think it's going to be
517
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,160
on OST?
I still think it's going to be
518
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:24,080
on there purely from what Will
said about Yeah, it's going to
519
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,880
be a song you've heard.
It's got to be it.
520
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,080
And was it?
Was it Mark or Joe said it needs
521
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,960
some more cooking or bacon or
whatever?
522
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,880
And they've been teasing it,
too, at the gigs in the American
523
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:39,120
shows.
Remember that, Leslie?
524
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,800
There's been at least a few
where they would start playing
525
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,880
part of it and people would be
like, then they would.
526
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:44,720
Stop playing.
Yeah, yeah.
527
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,640
Yeah.
All right, so, but maybe yeah,
528
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,120
Record Store Day something be
really cool April 20th.
529
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,440
Yeah, love to see Record Store
Day something or other.
530
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,720
That would be pretty cool.
And I think it would be neat
531
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:03,480
too, because to get these albums
in actual record stores and not
532
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,280
just on their website is really
neat.
533
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,120
And anything you do also to
support these small record
534
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,000
stores.
I fully understand they sell it
535
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,760
through their website.
Of course, someone to send it
536
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,800
out because what they actually
pay for somebody to to fulfill
537
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:23,880
it is minimal, whereas to get it
into a record shop, everybody's
538
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,480
got to have 20%.
Yeah, and those stores are
539
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,280
small.
I mean, they're not like Tower
540
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,720
Records like we used to have.
There's limited shelf space, you
541
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,920
know, so it's not easy.
And they're not chains.
542
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,760
So it's a lot of like mom and
pops.
543
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,920
But that's why Record Store Day
is great because it's sort of
544
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:48,840
brings them all together for
this twice a year event, sales
545
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,320
event.
It's nice and some of the stores
546
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,480
play by a little different rules
too.
547
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,880
I know in gosh, was it November
of 2023?
548
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,400
I think it was when that when
the Anvil Cat LP came out, we
549
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,920
Pebble and I sat, Oh God, it was
so cold.
550
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,239
But anyway, some of these
stores, and I'm getting off on
551
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,000
another tangent here.
If you let them know ahead of
552
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,920
time that you're looking for an
album, they will take that into
553
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,920
consideration.
So let's hope that there is a
554
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,960
Record Store Day.
Boy, that'd be great, wouldn't
555
00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:21,600
it?
Maybe that could be one of our
556
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,199
predictions for 26.
Yeah, I don't know.
557
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,840
Yeah, let's do that.
I mean, that'd be let's do that,
558
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,440
let's put it on there.
I thought, what's the thing?
559
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:33,719
You know what, I thought you
were getting a pen out and going
560
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,520
to write April twenty 20th on
the screen.
561
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:40,600
No, this is more important.
I noticed it was less shiny than
562
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,520
I was earlier, so I had to
reshine.
563
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,440
That's because you were sticking
your tongue out.
564
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,440
Probably.
Oops.
565
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,159
Any other predictions?
They're.
566
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:57,600
Going to be back to the US
before the end of the year.
567
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:02,280
I don't know if that's a big
one, but I think that's pretty.
568
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,960
I think it's pretty probable.
I don't think I'm going way out
569
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:10,680
on a limb with that one.
Do you think end of 2026?
570
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,160
Yeah, possibly January this time
next year.
571
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:17,200
Well, they like making us wait
out in the cold.
572
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,080
That's.
All winter, fall, winter.
573
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,840
They like messing up our
Thanksgiving plans.
574
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,880
Yes, yes, Thanksgiving and
birthdays.
575
00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:32,680
Oh yeah.
Do you know what I'd really
576
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,040
like?
Youngblood does his own festival
577
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,680
at Blood Fest.
I would love to see Lovejoy at
578
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:46,880
Blood Fest.
Huge because it all eyes are on
579
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,160
Youngblood right at this moment.
People are whinging and whining
580
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,320
because they thought there was
going to be an announcement of
581
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,800
Blood Fest.
They're.
582
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:59,680
Just waiting for the tickets and
it is such a fabulous one day
583
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,920
festival.
I'd love to see them on Blood
584
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,000
Fest that.
Would rock.
585
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,320
Oh wow, yeah, that'd be so cool.
What time of year is that
586
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:10,640
usually?
I'm guessing July.
587
00:36:11,720 --> 00:36:15,280
Yeah, summer.
I think it's either July or
588
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,560
August.
And is it always in the same
589
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,480
place?
Yeah, Milton Keynes, Yeah.
590
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,400
We just want to talk also about
what we have in store for the
591
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,880
podcast this coming year.
We have some things lined up,
592
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,080
people waiting in the wings that
we plan to interview, including
593
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:37,720
a Lovejoy dad, a concert
photographer that has
594
00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:43,160
photographed several Lovejoy
shows and all around sweet
595
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,560
person that we met over in
Chicago, as well as welcoming
596
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:51,200
back someone we interviewed last
year, Tyler, for an upcoming Are
597
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,920
You All Right episode.
We wanted to continue on with
598
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,720
our mental health series Are You
All right?
599
00:36:57,720 --> 00:37:00,800
We only got through one last
year because it got so exciting
600
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,280
with Lovejoy News and
Happenings, but we want to bring
601
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,920
that back.
So that's in the queue, so to
602
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,840
speak as well as well.
I'm sure for six month
603
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:17,280
anniversary of the album, we'll
talk some more about maybe our
604
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,480
favorite songs that have really
floated to the top.
605
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,400
Any new revelations about
Lyrics?
606
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:26,440
I feel like I have a lot to, I
want to discuss and dissect with
607
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,480
y'all when I'm in the shower
listening to the songs and like,
608
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,320
it's like a light bulb moment
happens.
609
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,480
And you know, we spoke about the
lyrics when we the album first
610
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,480
came out, but I the opinions of
mine have changed and meanings
611
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,560
of lyrics have changed for me as
I've listened.
612
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:43,800
So I think that might be
something we could do in the
613
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,920
future.
Any other things you'd like to
614
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,280
see for the podcast other than
those that I've mentioned so
615
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:52,600
far?
I still would really like an
616
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:57,000
anvil card.
Maybe artist, but an anvil card
617
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,240
podcast?
Sure.
618
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:04,080
So maybe when more come out.
I'm guessing they'll come out
619
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:11,040
for VIP.
If indeed we get a tour, I'd
620
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:12,680
love to do that.
Yeah.
621
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,600
That would be neat to talk to
them about their process and how
622
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,720
that would be great, how that
worked out, how they got that,
623
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,040
how they even got that, you
know, opportunity.
624
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,000
So for sure I'd love to do that
as well.
625
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:26,920
People that are listening, if
you've got some ideas for topics
626
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,000
you'd like us to cover, let us
know.
627
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:36,080
We would love to hear from you.
We are also going to be kicking
628
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,560
off our newsletter.
I know we've mentioned that you
629
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,640
could sign up for our newsletter
on our website, lvjynation.com.
630
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:49,080
We really want to get that going
and have it be a regular item.
631
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,040
And perhaps if you join our
mailing list, we'll send you
632
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,200
guys something in the mail for
joining.
633
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:00,760
We'd appreciate that.
As always, please reviews and
634
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:05,400
comments on the various channels
that you listen to us on.
635
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:10,160
Spotify reviews are great to to
see and comments we're on that
636
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,400
probably the most frequently.
But anywhere you listen to the
637
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,840
show, we would appreciate your
feedback.
638
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,400
And you can always find us on
the socials too.
639
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,720
And we appreciate you listening
