00:00What is going on? Linda Perry, Four Non Blondes, backstage with us at Occasionally Acoustic
00:09Christmas. Thank you so much for being our surprise guest tonight. Absolutely. I was
00:14super happy to be that surprise. Have you ever been a surprise guest before?
00:20I'm not telling. Very likely I was. How hard was it to keep the secret? Because I've got
00:25to tell you around K-Rock. I don't have any friends and I don't go anywhere, so it was
00:29very easy for me to keep this secret. So let's talk about this insane TikTok phenomenon.
00:35When did you first catch wind of it? Well, I've been working on an album with this artist
00:40named Sophia Treadway, and she's the one that brought it to my attention and said, you know,
00:47your sound is blowing up. And I'm all, what sound? What does that mean? Then she showed
00:52it to me and she's like, we should do one. And so I was like, all right. So I did one
00:57and then it blew up more and then it kept blowing up. And it's pretty awesome.
01:02Like 400,000, I guess, like remixes at this point. It's like ridiculous. And then the mic
01:07drop for me was Martin Scorsese. I was like, okay. I was going to ask, what's your favorite
01:12one so far? Martin Scorsese. What did you think of the Jimmy Fallon one? Did you see
01:17that? Oh, that was great too. I mean, all of them. They've all been really amazing. Who
01:22would you like to see do it or would you want to play with? I don't really want to
01:27see anybody do it. I like being surprised and seeing these incredible people being a
01:33part of it. Right. So you said you're working on a new solo stuff too, right? I understand
01:38you got some. I'm working on, well, I'm, I have a solo album coming out at the top of
01:44the, well, not the top of the year, but I, I did a cover of beautiful. I mean, it's not a
01:49cover. It's my own song, but I did my own version of it and we're going to release
01:53that in January. Nice. And the record's called Let It Die Here. It's really a
01:59beautiful record and it's, um, it's also, I have a documentary called Let It Die Here
02:03coming out with it. What's the story behind Let It Die Here, the title? Um, well, the
02:08documentary is very, like, very, it's pretty embarrassing to be honest. It's very raw,
02:14very honest. Anybody who knows me would know that's exactly the kind of
02:18documentary I would make. Right. But it's, it's embarrassing because it's not
02:23flattering whatsoever. And I'm okay with that. Right. I'm okay with that. Right.
02:28What are some of your favorite music documentaries from over the years? Anything
02:32that really kind of laid it out there and you're like, that's the way to do it to
02:35not. I love Devo's and I'm really looking forward to watching Talking Heads. Right.
02:42You've been to Burns concerts? Never. Holy cow. Never. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said, I don't
02:48go out. Right. I don't either. This is one of my... And I don't drink, I don't smoke, and
02:53I don't have any friends. So, it would be very boring for me. There's also new four
02:57new non-blondes on the horizon, isn't there? Is there a new album or something in the works
03:02with that? Maybe. Why has it been so long? Why such a huge... That's another question for
03:07another time. Okay. Is that another time yet or... No, let's see. That's not throwaway news,
03:13baby. That's big news. That is big news. Yeah. You're going to have to wait for that. Well,
03:18listen, thank you so much for showing up and suddenly doing this surprise little thing for us.
03:22You're welcome. Thanks for having me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you, everybody.
03:24Yeah!
