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