=== Cannot Keep Pretty Hands Off (04:42) ===

[00:00:13]  Live from New York, it's Get Off My Lawn with Kevin McKinnon.
[00:00:20]  Keep your pretty hands off me.
[00:00:24]  You cannot keep your pretty hands off me.
[00:00:29]  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
[00:00:48]  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.
[00:01:13]  You cannot keep your pretty hands off me.
[00:01:17]  You cannot keep your pretty hands off me.
[00:01:20]  I thought you were the one, but I was wrong.
[00:01:25]  I was wrong.
[00:01:27]  I thought great jam.
[00:01:33]  That is the trucks.
[00:01:35]  The crux of the trucks is that they were formed sort of haphazardly.
[00:01:40]  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.
[00:01:50]  The Pacific Northwest wasn't too woke back then.
[00:01:52]  This was still early odds, relatively early odds.
[00:01:56]  And it was in an interesting time in New York, and the trucks came to New York a few times, where ElectroClash was big.
[00:02:03]  I'm going to do a green screen of forgotten music scenes from the Sharpies in Australia to Electro Clash.
[00:02:10]  I've got a bunch more I can't remember right now.
[00:02:12]  But it was a really cool music scene.
[00:02:16]  Fisher-Spooner were the sort of rolling stones of that scene, which was Warren Fisher and Casey Spooner.
[00:02:22]  Casey Spooner was this elaborate homo who was really cool and funny and weird and very creative.
[00:02:30]  And then there was Warren Fisher, who was a musical genius.
[00:02:32]  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.
[00:02:39]  And then Casey Spooner would conduct these big, elaborate dance shows.
[00:02:45]  And one of the coolest things I've, I think he invented this whole concept of just sort of stopping the show.
[00:02:51]  So it'd be this elaborate show with dancers and stage stuff.
[00:02:54]  And then he'd just go, stop, stop, stop.
[00:02:56]  What are you doing over there?
[00:02:58]  What's happening here?
[00:02:59]  And the music would stop and everyone would be like, what?
[00:03:01]  And then he'd put her over there and be like, five, six, seven, eight.
[00:03:05]  And they'd start up again.
[00:03:06]  So it was really sloppy and haphazard.
[00:03:08]  I kind of stole that for this show where I'd be relatively unprepared and then say, Ryan, look that up.
[00:03:15]  Or we'll just figure it out as we go.
[00:03:18]  And you'd see the backstage on stage.
[00:03:21]  you'd see them getting ready and stuff.
[00:03:22]  Like there was no...
[00:03:28]  The videos were so cool too.
[00:03:38]  That's not Warren Fisher, the boy.
[00:03:44]  Move forward.
[00:03:44]  Do they show more different stuff?
[00:03:46]  Their shows were amazing.
[00:03:52]  I said to him once, I know what that song's about.
[00:03:54]  You don't need to tear away.
[00:03:55]  You don't need to emerge from nothing.
[00:03:56]  It's saying you don't have to be gay.
[00:03:58]  You don't have to come out of the closet.
[00:04:00]  Stay in the closet if you want.
[00:04:01]  And he goes, no.
[00:04:03]  But if that's your interpretation, enjoy yourself.
[00:04:08]  Kind of stops the music in the song, too.
[00:04:11]  Yeah.
[00:04:12]  Like, that was very uncomfortable and jarring.
[00:04:14]  This was a great time in New York City.
[00:04:17]  There was no rules.
[00:04:18]  Terry Richardson was a pig, and everyone thought that was interesting.
[00:04:22]  I wore a shirt that said, speak English with an American flag on it and a screwdriver belt buckle.
[00:04:26]  You're like, haha, that's weird.
[00:04:29]  Like, you could be whatever you wanted to.
[00:04:31]  And then it got woke.
[00:04:33]  Terry was canceled.
[00:04:35]  Fisher Spruner broke up and Electro Clash ended.
[00:04:37]  And I think two things killed Electro Clash.
[00:04:40]  One, me.
[00:04:42]  I was so excited about it that I over-documented it and made it a thing.
[00:04:46]  And it was always in Vice.
[00:04:48]  All the bands were in Vice and Showcase.
[00:04:50]  And there's Electro Clash update.
[00:04:52]  I was like, we got our own punk.
[00:04:53]  This is great.
[00:04:54]  And there were some really good bands.
