00:00Hello, I'm Krystal. I'm Ben. And we're Phoebe Rinks here in OG Records, Melbourne,

00:08doing On The Records of Rolling Stone.

00:15This record we have up here is Leonard Charles' Basement Donuts. So Leonard Charles' real name,

00:24Jeremy Toy. He's a really great friend of ours. He helped record our album. Yeah, he mixed all of our songs

00:33and he also is a very big fan of Jay Dilla. Yeah, so he recreated donuts

00:43using synthesizers, like played everything. Everything's been played. Very cool, cool record.

00:49Second pick is Taeko Onuki Romantic and this is I think out of 1980. We have connected over Taeko Onuki

01:04like the city pop kind of influence which shaped up a lot of our songs but she's also a keys player

01:11and has worked with um like Sakamoto Ruichi and YMO people who we really like. YMO which is our third

01:21pick. What is this record? I've always listened to it and everything's been in Japanese, all the titles

01:27and stuff. So I only just found out that the song I really like is called A Thousand Knives which is

01:32pretty sick. A Thousand Knives has just like, I mean they do crazy things with synthesizers and make like

01:41the cooler sounds but A Thousand Knives is a song that goes really hard and has an absolutely absurd solo

01:49in it. Like you have to listen to it. For those of you who don't know YMO, they're a trio and sometimes

01:56they have more than a trio but the three of them are incredible musicians who have the most extravagant

02:04looking 80s Japanese synths.

02:11Our last record is Gu. NZ record. Hello are you there? So this was in 2006.

02:20I was just like last years of high school emerging from my uh kind of metal rock phase playing in like

02:30negative colored bands and stuff and um getting into like local look like you know New Zealand music

02:38and New Zealand bands like Mintrix and Veils and Boom was one of them and they just write really like

02:45like just like perfect indie pop songs. What a cool era of bands. It was a really great era um and yeah have a listen.
