BONUS: Geoff Barrow (Portishead) Interview/Battle!

One song patreon people in the red corner in a really cool designer T From a really cool band whispering a interpolation to himself over and over the man so hardcore He rocks double X's in his own name luxury And in the blue corner a musician producer Mixer and film score from the band portershead the record label in Veda and films such as X Mac and a civil war in the upcoming game The one the only Jeff Barrow Why are these music legends fighting it all started in the DMs the question does breaking down music ruin it We're getting into that today only on the one song patreon. Let's go It's great to have you on and I love the origin story the people need to know how how we got here So let's let's get into it besides being fans you commented on a video Wonderfully about a month or so ago one of our Episodes that we did the far side episode we talk about Dilla and that was one of those in the weeds breakdowns We do them every episode, but that was especially in the weeds and Perhaps in that moment. I mean. I want to hear from you. So I won't I won't I won't pre-set it up too much But something oh man this fight is already going horribly you're way too polite Blake way too polite. I came to you via Hip-hop because you know people early on in the 90s were like Yo, there's like this music that's primarily coming out of the UK that sounds like kind of sounds like hip-hop But it's got like white people singing over it To me, but you know to this day I can talk to people who are hip-hop DJs and like people who don't really listen to a whole lot of like non You know black American music who will still talk about Porta said in the same Tells that they'll talk about DJ premiere DJ shadow and and stuff like that You know is this kid from like just outside of Bristol in a pretty rural town Made some made some beats and made some music the the people that I'd I'd absolutely You know, they were my gods, you know, like I can remember you know someone saying the DJ premiere Played one of our tunes and I was like oh my god. I'm finished. I'm done I can retire, but but the thing is we've always had a policy if a if a hip-hop band sample is poor is that we don't charge them But if basically if the weekend or someone wants to like wants to do that they can pay for whack The weekend is pop the week in this pop is your case Yeah, well no, it's just that anyone who's signed to a major label, and they're just oh got you. Okay. Alright, okay They can afford it, but if you're here, you know an actual hip-hop crew like you know, and you've got no money then that take it That's that's great I love that attitude and I think that's really healthy and and also, you know, maybe maybe reasonable based on your own history However, as you you know, you do clear your samples to be clear, you know to give you proper credit They can find anyway Wait a second scavenger hunt alert See that's my problem. Let's get into it. Let's get into it. Go ahead. Here we go. Perfect segue. Let's do it Right, that's my problem with guys like you Guys like me Dude dude's like you just basically break in everything down Removing all the all the you know the magic the guys into making music, you know, let's let's Let's okay. Here we go. We're gonna get into it. I actually wanted to start by reading your actual Comment on going then Here is with Jeff Barrow wrote I feel weird about the whole breaking stuff down I find when people find their own way it leads to more interesting music because they get it wrong Which I think is so interesting and I agree with that part one. Let's put a pin in that You got you went on to say If it's laid out on a chart, the sounds are available you end up with a photocopy and then last but at least Porta said sounded like it did because that stuff wasn't available I'm not knocking what you do. It's really interesting. Thank you for the compliment I just worry we've lost some magic if you want a live argument about it. You'll come on the show and here we are So here we are
