"And one of the words. I know what would be as long as the world will touch Tim Nordstrom here in Billy's Montana. I listen to your show on the sea and your picks were, well, nothing like you could have done with sea and sand from quadrophenia. The who have been underrated with this particular album in my opinion, that song in particular with daltrey and Townsend's back and forth vocals with Townsend staccato stops on his guitar that are so unique to him. And man, just give quadrophenia and other lesson out there. It is one of the best albums of all time. Nothing ever goes as planned. I just couldn't face going home it was just a drag on the moon we finally through the hour my mom got drunk on stars my dad couldn't stand on no more messages. Thanks again to everyone who left us a message. You can leave yours on our website, sound opinions dot org, what's on the show next week. Next week, Jim, real pleasure to catch up with namda, who I think is one of the most innovative artists in the art pop realm of the last 5 years.

"Deals with sort of 20 somethings in Los Angeles and the music reflects that. So the music was written by a couple artists in Los Angeles, Thomas powers and a producer by the name of Luna shadows. Their best known for working in Los Angeles band called the naked and the famous. Whatever you may think of the band don't hold that against them here, think of what they created for this game in conjunction with the game designers and they worked incredibly closely with teddy DF and teddy is the one of the co creators of the game. He also sings this on and they are these very sort of light, very simple pop, very danceable sort of songs. They have a little bit of electronic. They're trying to sort of extend beyond sort of what we think is sort of digital video game sounds. Follow unfollow. I kind of like because we are sort of mirrors sort of being a 20 something and trying to figure out your job, trying to figure out dating, especially in the social media landscape. It's a very sort of glittery song. So that was a song I wanted to highlight, and it's a new song, and it's the music was released by a division of Sony. So they got a big major label behind them as well. Oh, wow. All right, that's follow unfollow by OFK. Todd's given us some of his favorite recent standout music from the video game world. What's your next pick? Dead of night. This was from a game called sayonara wild hearts. It was released in 2019 by a Swedish studio called a simogo. I hope I pronounced that correctly, but it was my favorite game of 2019. It does fall into a little bit more of the rhythmic category of games in that you're trying to move to the beats of the music at times. They consider it a visual album and you play a character who is soaring through this dream like metaphorical world to try to sort of make sense of romance and heartbreak. It's a game about personal growth about coming out of heartbreak and sort of coming out of it stronger at the end and you just fly through these psychedelics or to kaleidoscope universes. Don't go on I'm ready for you you can write for me. For a while you know this song was written by composer Daniel osen with the writer Jonathan ang, Jonathan also worked for the game company, so again, this music is done very closely in conjunction with the production of the games. And a Swedish artist Vienna Olson. I hope I got that right. She was the vocalist, would you hear in the song is a very heavy 80s pop influence with some modern EDM flourishes, a contemporary band. It sounds very similar maybe to a band like a church's I'm sure your listeners are familiar with. A lot of what he said was just ancient Greek to me. I have no idea. But yet churches. Music. Yeah. But it's a very fast sound. It's very sleek. It's meant to feel the game. To match the feel of the game, which is a very fast sort of game where you're flying through these digital worlds. You can hear some video game effects in the background and you could hear sort of a lot of repetitive bouncing note playing with the idea of a video game score. You hear sort of these nods to the chiptune era in the background. But I think it's all about sort of bouncing you forward. Give us one more Todd. You got a huge playlist, which I think will probably be able to share. What would be a third track that you would highlight? Thank you if I'm going to have to pick one more and call it a day. I think I would sort of go with a too late to love you. And that's from the game, Kentucky route zero. That was released over the span of a decade by some Chicago based artists Ben babbitt was the composer. He went to the school, the Art Institute of Chicago. Why I picked this song, there are other songs I really, really love in video game music, but why I picked the song in particular is because it's an example of a song that is interactive in the game. In the presentation of the game, you will pick a lyrics of this song. And the song will gently shift its tone based on the lyrics that you pick. And you could sit back and not pick lyrics and just let the background music sort of play. And it's the scene set in a sort of a dive bar sort of game. It shows how in the game space music can be interactive. It's a very magical realistic realism game dealing with despair, dealing with the post economic crisis of 2008 and sort of trying to humanize the idea of being homeless. And what it means to live paycheck to paycheck. But the song is a very woozy. It's kind of an electronic take on sort of a language folksy song. It's a tale of unrequited love and heartbreak. And it goes to life. For. You. It has a very light contemplative kind of melancholic atmosphere. One thing about the song, I should note, is the vocals are credited to a June bug. June bug is not a real person. That is the character in the game. From what I've gathered, the vocals were digitally created. I believe they are babbitt's voice, just heavily digitally manipulated. The vocals being so processed, it does create kind of this ghostly atmosphere to the track. You know, what you just said sort of reminded me a little bit of the gorillas concept where the especially in the first tour, it was these kind of cartoons that were essentially supposedly the band. And obviously that wasn't the case, but it was creating this fantasy world that was visual to go with the music. I think the interactivity, too. Eno for years has been experimenting with releasing tracks, inviting listeners to remix them and other electronic artists have done that. The video game until you begin to play it is a piece of art that's not completed. And it seems as if these musicians are the most interesting of them. If I'm asked to choose the lyric, I have to take part in making that music. Absolutely. And I think the space is attracting pop artists and there was a game last year called table that was composed by other group Japanese breakfast. And that's a beautiful score as well. Well, now, Todd, I've read your video game reviews in the Los Angeles Times. And you deal with the music as part of the game experience, is there as yet a dedicated video game music reviewer, somebody out there who's just doing music from games. If there is, I have to confess, I haven't found that person. I know there are sites that dedicate a lot of article space to video game music. I'm sure somewhere on YouTube, media in the video game space is so heavily reliant on digital creators on YouTube and other sort of social media on Twitch and platforms like that. I'm sure there is somebody who is an expert on video game music who is doing that that I don't know about yet. Yeah, why bother to write any more, Greg? Well, we've been talking to Tod Martins who writes extensively about music for the Los Angeles Times, particularly in the video game area now. Todd, thanks so much for being on the show. Thank you so much for having me. It was a lifelong dream and a pleasure to talk. That wraps up our show on video game music. We might have to revisit this topic in the future again, Greg. But right now we want to hear from you. What's your favorite piece of new video game music and why? Leave a voice message on our website sound opinions dot org. And speaking of those voice messages, let's hear a couple now. New messages.

"True detective, right? Sure. Or musicians now crafting music. You know, because the worlds of film, television, and video games are merging. They really are. And so music is an integral part of that. What was the turning point, as a lifelong music fan and a music critic that you said, wow, I've got to pay more attention to these soundtracks. I think for me, the point where I sort of had that awakening was in 2011 when it was a game called a super brothers sword and sorcery EP. It was a mobile focused game, kind of this 8 bit looking sort of fantastical game where you're this sort of nameless character it's kind of obscure going through this fantastical sort of world just pointing and clicking and Canadian musician by the name of a Jim Guthrie. He's played in some indie pop bands. I think islands and royal city among them. I'll be honest, Jim Guthrie wasn't somebody I knew by name. But that soundtrack had this mixture of sort of vintage video game feel. Guthrie has spoken in the past about using musical tools on a PlayStation one to help craft some of his music with sort of organic guitar effects, but the guitar effects were a little bit mysterious. It was sort of an indie pop soundtrack that had this electoral orchestral, but everything was kind of vague and kind of timeless. There was a sort of mysticism sort of in the air to the music. And I started to pay attention to it because it wasn't purely electronic. It wasn't purely like a big symphonic score, like a video game trying to mimic a big blockbuster movie. It was very sort of understated. That was something that was like, I need to pay more attention. I need to know what's going on here. What is it about, you know, because this music is essentially background music. It's not foregrounded like it's not like, oh, now we're going to stop and we're going to hear this song. Like you might in a broad way show or a film, which is using a lot of music. Sometimes the images on the screen will be backgrounded to the music because the director wants to highlight that. That doesn't happen at all in video games, right? It's both mostly background music. I think we've started to move away from that a little bit. You know, there were games like around the time of sword and sorcery. There was a game called Ho Ho come, which is essentially a visual album and the studio tap electronic artists from an indie label ghostly international to do sort of these chill out sort of vibes for that soundtrack. And it was very much meant to be listened to and you were supposed to sort of move in time with the movements. From the town to the city. I think some of the thinking started to change where video game music could be more than just background music was if you look at a game like a mist, which is one of the bestselling PC games of all time. That game didn't originally have a score because the designer Robin Miller thought it would distract from the game. So late in development, he decided to sort of tinker with making a very ambient score. It's very atmospheric, it's very quiet. If you were to listen to it for enjoyment, it'd be something to put on late at night. It would be something to put on as background music if you were reading or cooking. It sort of

"What we thought about the music from rina sawayama and Brian eno. Now it is your turn. Let us know on our Facebook group or in our Patreon community, or leave us a voice message on our website sound opinions dot org so we can play it on the show. Coming up our conversation with the video games critic Todd Martin's unsettling. And we are back. Today we're talking about something we've never really talked about in depth before. There's always new topics, Greg. Video game music. We've been told that some of our listeners about the rise of video game soundtracks. And we thought it would be a good idea to bring on someone who could teach us a little bit about them and expert in the field. We had the chance to talk to the video game critic of the Los Angeles Times and ease a longtime friend of ours Todd Martin's we've admired his writing. He's admired our writing allegedly. But I was writing about pop music for a long time before he transitioned to video game stuff. And we're kind of on the same plane with him with the bop music stuff in terms of our understanding of it. We kind of video game territories was new for us. And Todd really, I think, did a great job of educating us. He chatted with us about how music within games has evolved over the last decade or so. Neither Gregor eye are gamers. I haven't played anything since Tetris. Which I loved dearly. And you know, you make the point in schooling us a little bit, that there were cool sounds in those early games, like space invaders, outer space explosions, right? Kind of a Russian repeating folk melody and Tetris and Super Mario Brothers. But essentially music as video games exploded into an art form, I believe they are. You know, music was a secondary consideration at first because all of the space in the tech of these games was needed for the games. Absolutely correct. I mean, yeah, when you look at the space of video game music, I think certainly people remember those video game sounds of the 80s and the 90s and lots of people can hum. That's Super Mario Brothers theme. Even if they only haven't played it in decades, yeah, I mean, so it's a technological evolution too. So a lot of stuff that was happening was based on what could be what there was space to store on a cartridge. If you're talking about video game consoles, what there was a space but a sound card could do if you were talking about home computers. So that's why there was this birth of this sort of move in called chiptune, which was this very digital focus sound. Like I said, there was still a cool stuff. Like you pointed out the Tetris sort of drawing from Russian folklore. So I still found ways to be experimental and musical within that space. But over the last couple of decades, especially in western video games, I think music was always a little bit more appreciated in Japan in terms of the video game space, but in western media, it's really sort of exploded that I would say it's as comparable or perhaps even more experimental or more weird than what you see in film and television scores. Well, you represent a good chunk of our listeners. There's probably a bunch of our listeners that are gamers and are already well versed in the music that's on there. But you, I think, approach it from a standpoint of where a lot of our listeners are at, which is they're kind of looking at scans at videos, the video game culture as musical. What's good about it? Why should I pay attention to it? And you were in that latter category, right? You weren't you were skeptical. As a fine music critic as well as a video game critic. I think it's important to point out, I mean, I did write about music before I wrote about video games, and I always, even though I was playing games, I wasn't necessarily looking at games. I was kind of looking down on video game music. I saw it as a secondary sort of thing. I remember when I went to college, I met a dorm just making small talk, and I was like, what kind of music do you listen to and he said, all you really listen to are video game soundtracks. And I was like, floored. I wanted to talk about all sorts of pretentious indie rock. But no, I mean, I was incorrect. A lot of musical stuff happening in that space. And I think in the video game space, you do have a lot of stuff that is a little bit more pop oriented than maybe you'll see more regularly in film or television where we tend to think of big sort of cinematic scores. You know, I was thinking about this topic and I was thinking about this topic to talk to you guys about it just because and not to pin too much on the Grammys or make the Grammys sound super important. But the Grammys did add a specific video game music category. And those kind of things, like I said, we all have issues with the Grammys, but those kind of things bring attention to niche genres and niche format. So I thought it was just a good time to sort of maybe highlight what's been going on the last couple of years. No, it absolutely is. I mean, we have had several music supervisors on the show over the years, and the space opened up by long form cable shows limited edition series and adventurous television to musicians to reach new audience.

"It off, phenomenon is not all that rare in older adolescents and I don't want any parent to think that they're being too suspicious or paranoid if they start to sense that's what's happening because that definitely does happen. Yeah. We did an episode in season two about boyfriends wanting or girlfriends wanting to sleep over and how do you handle that so that that was a great episode. But, you know, you get into the teen years, you're opening up a can of worms that I haven't quite yet open because my kids are younger, but from significant others and handling sex and drugs and alcohol and all of this stuff. I mean, there's a lot of things that suddenly change the tweet and sleep over in the teenage years. Well, it's true. And it's an interesting thing, like nighttime is a very unique time, right? Things are happening quietly, the adults are asleep. You know, they're sort of in the house, but they're not really supervised, right? So it creates these very strange conditions for things that during the day we know how to handle. But if it's happening under your roof at night or if you've made it possible for things to happen, then I think we do need to examine it carefully. So here's a question for you. Do your kids have sleepovers? You know, we really haven't done much. And I think it's largely because of COVID and, you know, as we're sort of emerging out, they do a lot will travel to different cities to be with their cousins and then we do things like that, which they do one night, and they're a hot mess for the rest of the week. That's really my biggest at this point. My biggest fear with them is a hot mess for a week. But you know, my daughter definitely wants them. I want her to have them, and she's got a great group of friends, so it's not something that I worry about her doing. But I guess I come back to this like, do we really have to do this? It's the after effects for me in the tween years that I just hate. But I kind of understand she wants to be with her girlfriends and they're cute together and they have a good time, but and I think about the pandemic. You know, they've missed out on so many things, right? So if this is really like, you know, we're doing okay, this is the worst of the issues right now. Well, so let's imagine, though, just for the sake of argument, that you decide for her next birthday, she begs you. She's like, mom, mom, mom, mom. Please, please, please. Can I have a sleepover? So she begs you to have her friends over. How many, let's think about if the families in that position where they're having sleepovers or they've decided they're going to go through with it or their kid is like saying, let me just try it once. Let's think through the kinds of parameters that could be put in place to make it less miserable as a family. So I think the first question is, is it a very clear to you how many kids your daughter would want? Oh, I think like one or two max. Okay. So smaller is probably better, right? That idea of setting some pretty clear parameters around how many kids are we talking. And one of the things that's tricky is sometimes kids are in big friend groups. And they don't really feel like they've got the latitude to say, you know, if the parent says you can have four kids over, which already feels like a lot. But if the parent says that, they may say, yeah, but my friend group has 6 people in it, and there's no comfortable way to, you know, cut that out down. And I think that's a place where the parent might actually really stick to their position and say, you tell your Friends that I'm being the bad guy about this, right? I can't have more than four. And so we're not doing a sleepover because you don't want to not invite everybody. I don't know how much a parent should have to bend if they're feeling uncomfortable about numbers. But then again, you said something else you're not like, your Friends, your daughter's friends are really like they're great kids. Like you know they get together well as a dynamic, right? And so another way that we could kind of do this calculus for a family trying to figure it out is if you can tolerate the idea of like the whole friend group of 6 coming over. One thing I'd want a parent to assess is, is it a friend group that actually does really well together on a consistent basis or is it a friend group where within that friend group they can either be ugly with each other or they can get ugly with other people, right? That they can sometimes act in ways as a group that is unkind to other people. If you know that's a possibility, I would have the family seriously consider whether it's worth having all 7 of those kids, including your own, under your roof, unsupervised overnight. Okay. So you gotta think of those dynamics too. Yeah, and I think the thing we're not talking about is where are the cell phones during the sleepover? Why is that? So your daughter does not yet have one, right? Yeah. What if? Let me ask you this, arena. What if your daughter's next birthday and how old will she be again on her next birthday? The next birthday she will be 11. Okay, so it could totally happen that you're like, all right, this is fabulous. You can have your two darling friends over. This is great, you know, I know these kids are wonderful. And you know, we're gonna give it a try, and one of the kids shows up with a phone. And wants to have it with them for the duration of the sleepover. Oh. What do you think? Oh, I had never thought of that. Totally happens. Totally. Okay, if this is the teenage years, you know, if this is where one person doesn't have a phone another, maybe I'll talk with the parent and just say, is it okay with you? We charge ours and can she charge it and then we'll have her check in at night before and leave it that way. I think that's probably how I would handle it. But if it is everybody has cell phones and their teens, I don't really say, okay everybody, here's where you put your cell phones at night, right? Can you? Or can you? Right? I mean, I think that this is, I think, a really in all of these questions about sleepovers, I will tell you rina, I think this is the hardest one. I think this is the hardest one. Because, like you say, asking a teenager to hand over their phone. Is a big deal. A very big deal. And then of course, there are parents who will make the argument, and I think this is a fair enough argument that my kid needs to be able to be in touch with me. While at your house, right? So should have their phone. And yet it does happen, and this gets back to why I don't like having kids headphones in their bedrooms, even if it's just them themselves in their room. You know what I am? Your judgment is bad. Right? 1 a.m. with all your friends around, your judgment is worse, right? And true. And that's what we know about how kids calculate risk is in the cold light of day they might be like, oh, you know what would be a really bad idea to take a video of all of us singing along to this raunchy song, like they will know that at noon. And 1 a.m., a pack of kids, you know, kind of punchy and low, low controls, high impulse, might be like, let's totally take a video of us singing along to this raunchy song and also bumping and grinding in these ways that, you know, and then we'll put it up, you know? And so that's one version of where things go off the rails. The other is, and I hate this, but it does happen. Kids can just start getting mean. They can just gang up on a kid online, you know, maybe you could do that to sleep over more likely a kid who's not at sleep over, and it one or two in the morning just doing say all sorts of things that should never have happened. So, I think again, we go back to the calculus who's coming to the party. Do they ever do stuff like this and any other setting? Can you really trust they're not going to if you are going to let them have their phones? And if you're feeling witchy about it as a parent and I would say pretty late into adolescent development, you certainly have my blessing to say to families, here's how we do sleepovers. We're going to have the kids have their phones till 10 p.m. and then in our House the rule is that there are no phones with you overnight, so we're going to have them in our room. If you need to be in touch with your kid, call me, we will answer it and we will get the phone to her. Oh, interesting. So is that what you do? You have a place that a certain time and you have them just leave them all there and then they just get them in the mornings and you tell the parent if you're trying to reach

"I wonder what it would be like in 50 years. I God knows. I mean, in communities I do feel like it's getting better, whether outside of the community, it gets better. I don't know, but I always believe in community and chosen families and the ability for people around you close to you to heal rather than waiting for governments and lawmakers to help you. But can I ask you a question about your own personal take on pansexuality is, is there any sense of gender being invisible with anyone? There's something in that because I just wanted. I mean, once I showed you to me is that gender is all gender identity is not at all a factor that I see. So yeah, maybe it is embarrassing. I don't want to say, I don't want to erase someone's identity, but it's genuinely something that I don't really care about. And it's like so corny, but I really see their spirit and see their smile or something about them that really could just me. Rather than. Physical attraction. It's always a vibe for me. It's always a vibe. The reason I asked was like, I have always been very like gender alert on that or like going out and pointing out. So like someone's masculinity is always what I found attractive. And the thing that I knew was a problem when I was a kid, I was like, oh, okay, I watched cocktail and I fancied Tom Cruise and Elizabeth shoe, and I was like, shit, that's not right. I'm supposed to like Elizabeth shoe. I just liked her hair. But the other way coming towards me, I never understood that people got my gender. And I don't know what that is. Like I have no other facts to share other than when people would assign me agenda. I was always like, interesting you did that. Why? And when you're a, it doesn't seem like any other kid in the playground's thinking about that. You're like, oh well, moving on. Yeah. I'll just go play skipping rope because no one wants to talk about this. But I wonder if it was almost like the flip of pansexuality that it's gender is just a bigger thing and some people's minds than others. I wonder, yeah, I wonder if it's really a situation where people who are pansexual are actively looking for a specific gender identity within the big umbrella of the spectrum of gender. I don't know.

"I don't know why what you said earlier made me think of this, but you were very wild as a teenager, right? Is that right? Now I think back on it, I think I just had a lot of rage. I was just angry and I think when kids act out, something's not right in their home. Happy children. There's just something going on and yeah, when I was going wild in London, I felt so isolated, which is weird because I was sharing a bedroom with my mom until I was 15. And my can see that my mom was trying to make ends meet. We had a lodger in the room that was supposed to be my bedroom and it was that way until I was 16. And I had a lot of anger towards her not only was she working so hard, but I was like, if you're working so hard to provide for this me, the one, the one you love, then why not spending time with me? And it's just this kind of age old immigrant story, I guess, where she's sacrificed so much. She's trying her best. My mom did not speak very good English. So I would have to fix her emails and fix her assignments because she was trying to get qualified as an interior designer. Her final assignments essays I would have to look over and check. Or at the same time, she could not help me with my homework. She never helped me in my homework. 'cause she couldn't. And we also couldn't afford to get tuition. Private tuition, so I was just there like, couldn't do my homework. I had so much rage. I was like, this is so unjust, my friends who have English speaking families who can help them and yeah, I felt I felt a lot of rage and you cross I'm imagining no one could articulate this at that age, but did you ever just wish that your mom could just write English perfectly? Yeah. And that you were out there speaking English better than her and therefore she was letting you down and I don't know, we look at it like that as kids, don't we? Yeah, 'cause you're just saying you're an adult. You should be able to handle all these things, where now I'm like, and I'm an adult. If I was to have a kid, I couldn't speak the language, I didn't know how to earn enough money to support the house. I had to, it's funny, 'cause I was like, I'm traumatized because I had to share a bedroom with my mom and so I was 15. My mom had to share a room with a 15 year old. That is awful for her. You know, I try and flip the narrative and say, God, what an incredible job she did. But as a kid, you don't understand how hard it is and you think that they should be invincible. And the financial aspect for me was very interesting because my mom wanted to sleep from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. every night. And then work from 2 a.m. and then she would always tough breakfast and lunch ready for me. Wow. And she continued that and really, like I said earlier about I had just gone through this insanity busy period of my life and I turned into monster. I so much think God, if she only had a couple more hours sleep at night, what kind of parent would she have been? And it's because she had to she had to do that. But I now, I find myself and I really struggled with this, especially at the beginning of my career, struggling to get fully into work because to me what hard work means is that you sacrifice and you lose all your love for your family and I never wanted to be like my mom in that way. And it's interesting because my stock is a very different and she has afforded me to circumstance. You know, I really think that. But I did connect hard work with loss of life and love and it really took me a long time to be okay with working hard. Which is weird, but it was a problem where I really, really didn't want to commit myself to anything for a while because I was I was too scared that I would turn into her and I would lose the ones that are closest to me and I would lose a lot of things that mattered. But it makes so much sense. It makes tons of sense. And it's your mom still around? Yes, she is. She's in Japan. Have you ever been able to talk to her about it in retrospect? Yes. Oh, we have great conversations now, because that's lovely. Yeah. It's really, really beautiful, and God, I don't want to be like, and that's what my new singles about, but I mean, genuinely, like my new single is about school catch me in the end, it is about my mom and my relationship, but it was such an insane arc, because we would all of you from day to night. And I used to call her a bitch and I used to swear at her. I used to ignore her phone calls. I used to just make her worry so much. And now I so understand, I can only imagine a fraction of what she was going through. And now she's happy. I think because even though she was very worried about me doing a creative career, especially after going to Cambridge, why wouldn't you just be a banker? But she's now happy with how things are going. Luckily and she is, we have a whole, she's a more relaxed perspective on things. And now she does say sorry for the things that she did before. And she was like, I regret not doing this for you. And I just didn't have the bandwidth to do it. And I'm like, I get it. I feel like I'm working hard. I don't know how you did it. It's different. But that's so lovely to hear. Yeah, it's really, really nice. Just quickly, because this has been the most wonderful chat. What's next? Yeah, I'm so excited. I'm so proud of this album. It came from a really, really dark time, and I therapize the shit out of myself. I mean, I went to therapy, but this album came from a lot of self discovery and I don't know if you've ever done, it sounds like you've done therapy. You like talking in therapeutic language. Just constantly a therapy. Yeah, do I love it? I love it. I love it too. I did some inner child work where it's like you're holding the inner child and I think that that before. I've done that. Oh, it's horrible, isn't it? I mean it's horrible a bit beautiful. So the title refers to that. Basically holding the girl oh, wow, okay, okay. It's about kind of getting to an age, like I turned 30 during COVID and realizing that this age you're able to look back on who you were as a young person, have an adult perspective on that. And then you're able to look up, I guess to what your parents were doing at your age and maybe they were having you know all of your clothes at the age that they had you. And you're like, God, what would I be as a parent? And at the same time, so many people around me were having kids. So it's about this self discovery of who actually am I as a person and through therapy and writing, I was able to really come to a very beautiful conclusion and so the record follows that our arch in that journey. It's amazing and I love what I've heard so far. It's so different, both so amazing. And we didn't even get to talk about Shania Twain. Oh my God, a whole other episode. Yeah, exactly. If you interview her, I would just come on and just be like, hey, by the way, I really love you music. Surprise.

"Over the years, because of this amazing conversation about gender identity and being non binary and a couple of my friends have come out as non binary and they now identify as pansexual and they're sexuality has become more fluid because before say they identified as a gay man. They felt like they couldn't be into women or femmes because that would mean that they're not a gay man anymore and that box was so rigid and almost a brand that they felt that stepping out of that day they would lose their identity but now it's just this amazing the language we have to describe people's sexualities and identities. Yeah, it's really interesting that isn't it that you're holding yourself back, which is, you know, that happens for queer people in all different ways, but you're reminding me of there's a thing as well someone was telling me who knows more about it than I do, but a lot of intersex people. Who are, you know, say, in their 30s who 30 years ago, what they were doing with intersex babies when they were born is very different to what they would do now. And so they were kind of being assigned genders at birth. Yes. And have then lived the gender they were assigned when we all understand that it's more of a spectrum now, but have held themselves back. So someone who was intersex who identified as a woman and said that they were attracted to men because they kind of wanted to affirm that they weren't this weird wishy washy idea for other people, but actually was holding a secret that they were attracted to women as well. But what that person was doing was like, but if I say that out loud, people are going to say, ah, you're actually a boy and they got it wrong. Which is so awful for them to have to deal with that stuff because we just need to understand that it's all a spectrum.

But what my job in that world was and I wonder what you're from the pop style side of it is like, while you're not meant to be that, also, to people at home, you are that. You are the magic superstar who doesn't the rules don't apply to you're this fictional being who represents freedom, self expression, you know, self love that none of us can find in our everyday lives. That's what I've always looked to pop stars for, that you can be who you want to be. And many other things, you know what I mean. But what wasn't Madonna that, you know? Well, I feel like now, though, pop stars who were very part of the very shiny marketing campaign when we were growing up are now being exposed for actually going through awful things in the background. I mean, you think about Brittany and like, you know, think about you actually even looking back on some TV interviews that she did or all the pop stars didn't and how horrible they were and how that would fly now. And on the other hand, you have pop stars like Billie Eilish, who is so raw, so herself and is breaking records or headlining Coachella and Glastonbury as the youngest artist.

"Yeah, I'm only chose one of the most conservative colleges in Cambridge. And really felt very out of place. And I didn't know why I felt out of place. I thought it was because I didn't use it and I was really passionate about music and a lot of people who go to places like Cambridge or Oxford are told from their very young age and that is their destiny and that's what they have to do and it's almost like what are you doing here if that's not your, that's not your thing. So I remember feeling a little different but I think it was more that the fact that I was closeted in very many ways. I didn't understand myself whatsoever and you know I was very, very depressed at one point because there was some bullying going on in my college towards me and yeah, it's kind of fucking sucks, especially you think, God, you're a university like do we really have to do this? But I get it. People are under a lot of pressure to perform and do well and they hurt people have people. So that's oh my God, I love that. It's the best thing because it is so true and you know there's no point in helping people who are hurt and that's why they hurt people. So you don't need to like you need to get down to that level to do it. But I had to move dawns in the middle of the final year, which was really tough. And then I was just really, I couldn't leave my bed. I was just so depressed. I didn't go to any lectures I couldn't finish any of my assignments. And then someone who I was in a supervision with and I had been in supervisions with, you know, normally one of us or two of us. And this guy called Emily, who was in the year above at school, but we were in the same year because she took it up there. And she was like, why don't you come to my Friends house party? Oh, there's like a queer knife in this place called the cow, which is now gone. The queer erasure. So this is very, but we yeah, I joined her, and then there was a bunch of quiz. And I was like, wow, why do I feel so at home? And she's also bisexual as well. So it's been such a wonderful journey. And I really do credit them for really saving my life because I was so, so deeply depressed and suicidal basically. That I am so to them, and now classic classic Cambridge queers, they're all going off and doing amazing, incredible things, one of them is they're all like launching Hubble telescopes and stuff. Oh yeah, like finding the cure to cancer and not actually. One of them is a fashion huge fashion photographer first and ready. Tom Rasmussen also. Tom's coming on the podcast. Oh, no way. I love them so much. Yeah, me too. They're just the most wonderful. I just came back from their wedding and it was so wonderful. I have that was actually my first queer wedding, so nice. You know, it really felt like a statement that you felt very much more than just a wedding and I thought that was really great and just having all the supportive parents from both sides is our lovely incredible and I felt like the whole of the queer community from London was it was so many people I was quite like this is insane but it was fun. So Tom Rasmussen was also Tom glitter right just for listeners and then was a drag queen but now it's kind of stopped and is doing amazing music and then voice is like a Seth. Unbelievable. Yes. Insane and we have the same vocal coach which is so fun and my vocal profession was at the wedding and I literally said to him what are you doing here? Yeah, she's great. And then I'm rude ceremony who was on this podcast a while ago still available on the feed listeners. Where did Anne ruco Oxford and I went to another film? Cambridge. Yeah, we were all there. All right, interesting. So is that one of the gang? One of the gang, yes, who else? I'm sure there's a bunch of notable people. Wow. But we were all kind of you're also lazy. They're so true. It's true. What they say about the quiz, they're all so lazy. Yeah, you've done nothing with your lives. What's the matter with you? Exactly. Can I just ask you about, you said your morning routine because I do love a centered person. What's your meaning? What's your mooning? What's in the morning routine? It is allowed to involve mini. We are an open church. My morning routine, I'm trying to dot it with my life because after absolutely going down a spiral, a mental spiral and ending up in a hole because I was not looking after myself whatsoever. It was thick it was like March to June, I probably had about three days off or something and I was going like actually crazy and I was snapping at people around me and I was just so not myself. It was really, really horrible. It was full deeper mode. But then I was like, you know what? It's because I have not taken a single morning to myself. I haven't given myself anything. It's funny because I think people will see pop stars and they're like, oh, it's just about them. It's everything's about them. Everyone's know about them, but it's a lot of you're also giving a lot and giving your time a lot of giving your energy a lot. And people are touching you a lot. And so it kind of this is subconscious thing that you start to get such a chip away at yourself a little bit. I'm sure a lot of people feel like this, to be honest, it's like when you're so dedicated to your work or something that you just lose yourself in it. Yeah, and do you think there's also a quality in there, sorry, I'm awake, you're halfway through answering questions. But do you think there's a quality in there of when you are a freelancer of any description? You think if I just give 3% more, it will be the thing that needs to happen and actually three three three three three means you're way over and you don't really have. There is no, there's no HR system in music. No, no. No. And there's also no safety now, which is the most, you know, it is like any creative industry and freelancers. You're just so desperate for the next gig. And I always always approach everything interviews, gigs, everything in the I'm not going to have another one, so I should just give it my all. And so yeah, my morning routine currently is I'm waking up a 6. I dearly would like 5, but it is so Kim Kardashian already. So Kim, and I don't drink as well as a very good day. Not me, not me being inspired by Kim K. I will see myself as a Kardashian watcher. Yeah, I work over 6 a.m. I I'm in a full like CEO mode at the moment. I really can't stop.

I did 18 interviews yesterday, which left me feeling like I was the smartest person in the world, and also like the stupidest person in the world. I couldn't string a sentence together, but I felt like I could talk forever. 'cause it's really interesting because we can very much tailor the media we consume. You can actually tailor most of your life to hear things from people who understand you. But then when you go out into the promo world, I imagine you sort of do a real spectrum of people who absolutely understand subversive queer pop bangers and then other people as you enter bigger and bigger spheres, do you get the strangest questions in the world like so what's queer? Or does that not really happen in 2022? I definitely yes, there's a range of questions and also interviewers. There's people who clearly have no idea who I am and they've just read my name to my Instagram, which is fine. People are busy, like I get it, like that happens. Most people are come with great questions that, yeah, it's funny. I can pretty much tell who is if a journalist is straight from the questions that they are asking the queer interviewers are interested in different things. Not just queerness, but kind of lots of different queer references. And I think that's interesting. But you know, I get to chat to lots of different people. I chatted to people from Mexico yesterday in Japan, so it's like it's amazing that I'm able to speak worldwide, but yeah, it is a big, big variation. Music that starts from little notes in your iPhone is connecting with people all over. Does that ever feel normal? No. I don't think it should feel normal.

"I can't shake this feeling of exhaustion all the time. I can't even say the word exhaustion. I'm so exhausted. Rina, I laid down at 6 15 yesterday afternoon. You did? Yeah, in the evening, and I never do that. And I just couldn't get it together, so I just was like, I'm gonna go lay down. Well, why I just don't know it's like my brain is constantly on all the time thinking about how to do what to cook for dinner or did we clean up this? I've got to finish this for the company. What I just like, how do we reset that sometimes? Well, I think summer will help and one of the sayings in schools that I think is really helpful is the idea of a hundred days of May. You know, it's almost like the winter holiday in terms of like all the extra demands, but you know there's just so much stuff you have to do to get kids out of the school year and get kids into the summer, and so I think part of the exhaustion I'm feeling is like the double life quality of it. I'm trying to help them close down and go to all these events for the end of the school year, which are lovely. While also doing all of this negotiating around, you know, how we're spending the summer who's where, what are we doing? And then of course, our jobs. On top of that, so this is just a very honestly the word that comes to mind is tedious. It's a tedious time, rina. It is. You're right, and it's a good way of looking at it. On top of being exhausted, all of us feel that sense of exhaustion and like my brain isn't fully functioning. What do you do when your kids are so mean and you have very little patience. This was a letter we got from a parent who asked about that and says, dear doctor Lisa and rina. My ten and a half year old daughter is getting so mean. She's in the fourth grade. Why is she already acting like a hormonal teenager? It's worse when she's tired, but is this age appropriate behavior or is she just mean? She called my husband and I idiots last night and just trying to figure out what the right consequences are and how to combat that feeling like a sudden change in behavior. It only happens at home, which is definitely her safe space, nothing environmental seems to be wrong, and isn't she too young for hormonal changes. So what's up? Thank you. Oh my gosh, there's so much to this letter. Well, and the writer helps us out a lot by just saying everything's fine, right? Because of course that's the first question that we'd wonder, is there something wrong? Is there something amiss? And the writers like nope, there is no environmental explanation for what's going on, like things are normal. So what should we start? Yeah. So how do you respond about that behavior in the moment? 'cause that's what's so hard, right? Yeah, well, if you keep calls you an idiot, which it sounds like that did. It's kind of hard to not have a knee jerk reaction to that. I just want to say any parent who has responded quickly and harshly to that. You certainly have my sympathies. And I actually, you know, there's lines we can not cross, but I actually think it's okay. When kids are so out of bounds, to be like, wow. No. You don't use those words around here. Or anywhere, really. And so much of what I think about as I listen to this letter is parents or teachers, and we teach kids how they're supposed to operate in the world. And, you know, the rule that we have to live by arena is no one is going to think our kids are as cute as we think our kids are. Right. And so we can not allow them to conduct themselves at home in ways that would be totally unacceptable on the outside world. And we're not doing them any favors if we do. You know, a lot of home life is training ground for developing the successful repertoires or developing the repertoires that are going to let kids be successful on the outside world. And so, you know, not reacting strongly to a kid calling you an idiot is not doing that get a favor. So how do you even sometimes you want to make sense of that behavior? How do you make sense of it? 'cause you're always wondering as a parent, where is this coming from? Yeah. So your kid calls you an idiot. I think it's really okay to be like, wow, wow, wow. Like that is totally over the line. Like, why don't you just take a break, cool off? We're not even having a conversation. If you're going to talk to me like that, like I really think it's important. And I think the thing that parents want to check is, where did that even come from? Like exactly what you're saying. Like, why did you do that? And there's a lot of reasons a kid could do that. And one of the ways we always want to approach these things in terms of something that deserves a reaction, and this definitely deserves a reaction. Is to be, you know, I'm going to use this term liberally, like kind of diagnostic about it. You know what does that mean? There's a problem to be fixed, but you can't fix the problem until you diagnose the problem correctly, right? Like first you diagnose it and then you come up with a treatment for it. So in terms of possible diagnoses, for why a kid is suddenly firing off terms, like, you guys are idiots, right? So one is the kids exhausted. Yeah. And cranky and their impulses are strong and they're controls are weak. And they were mad at the parent, which is totally fine. Kids get mad at the parent, but because they are, the term we use around our House is ropey, like at the end of their rope, 'cause we're all ropey, they're all tired. They said something that was totally out of line. So that's one diagnosis. The treatment for that would be like, okay, we do not talk that way, and also you need to go to bed at 8 o'clock tonight and for the next four nights. You know, that's one thing to do it. Another diagnosis could be, and I've had this, I've seen this. Sometimes kids start watching really rude TV. Yes. Have you ever gosh? Yes, I know that I know exactly what you're talking about, and then you know this behavior exactly where it came from. Yeah, and I've had this happen as apparent. Like, I'll come around the corner and there's stuff that I'm watching, and I'm like, what is that? Like, that's totally out of line. And I have known in families where kids watching a fair bit of those kind of snarky, you know, kind of sardonic. Just kind of nasty. In a way. You know what I'm talking about. It's supposed to be funny. It's not funny. Where they're watching a lot of that, and then it does start to kind of seep into how they are acting. Yes. And so if that's the diagnosis, I think it's like, okay, you're not watching that stuff anymore. You know, like I'm not getting you back to PBS. Your PBS only for three weeks or whatever. Because you can't watch that and keep a filter between what you're watching and how you act. So that's another, you know, fourth grade, I'm thinking about at that age, they just think it's funny and don't know what's not inappropriate or you can't talk to adults like that, right? So in the moment, what do you say to them to get through that what you're watching on TV is not appropriate behavior? Yeah, I think it really does help. If you can say we do not speak this way in this house and you know that. I think that it's really important for parents to set the standard for how we speak to one another at home and.

"And it creates freedom to discover that you can tolerate discomfort. And another way to frame it, rina, is there's no guarantee anything's going to be comfortable, especially anything unfamiliar. And so if a young person feels like I can only do it if I know I'm going to be comfortable, they're not going to be able to do a lot of things. But if we can set it up that, well, you can do it. And if you get uncomfortable, you've been there before, you can handle discomfort. They can do a lot of things. So that's one way we want to walk into this. You know, this concept of letting them lean into the distress here. It's like every parent wants to protect their instinctive, right? You don't want them to go through distress. What are cases of instances of distress where you feel it's actually good, like let them lean into this and feel that because it'll make them stronger on the other end. Honestly, rina, I know this is gonna seem extreme. I would say anything that's safe. I mean, of course, safety is always the limit. Like if it's unsafe, it's a non negotiable shouldn't happen. But we really want kids to discover that doing things that are, you know, require a lot of bravery, doing things that require a lot of tolerance of uncertainty, you know, doing those things, we want them to discover that they can do those things that feeling scared that feeling uncertain doesn't harm them, you know, that they get through the feeling that they can tolerate the feeling, and then usually the things that require bravery or tolerance of uncertainty have all these bonuses, right? Like now this kid is walking with her friend. They have a half an hour every morning to stretch their legs be out in the air talk to each other.

"Is important as well for protecting your investment in that house. You know, rina, because the market is what it is, I've been hearing a lot of people saying that they are foreclosing on the inspection in a lot of sellers don't need to wait to give you the time to do a home inspection because there are 5 other offers behind you, right? But it does seem like that home inspection is really important. Can you talk a little bit about maybe some of the mistakes or the things you try to warn people against when they are buying their first home especially? Yes. And this may be an unpopular opinion for me, but I never advised my client to waive the home inspection. Even if we say, we'll do the inspection in two days. I will get an inspector out there in two days to inspect that home. And that's because there are hidden things that you may not see that once you buy the house, it is very difficult or very expensive or impossible to undo. So the inspection is so important. I always advise my clients to get inspector and I advise them to get a very good home inspector because you do have some that will go out there and kind of do the cursory gloss over and not dig down deep and get to the nitty Gritty of what you need. So that's important. I also discourage clients from buying houses, sight unseen. That's started happening, even for some investors. At a minimum, you want to do a video tour of the house. You want to have a contractor and or an inspector, look at it in addition to that. I just can't advise people to buy houses sight unseen. There's too much opportunity to be taken advantage of from those situations. And again, I think because of the market and there are lots of offers, it can be tempting to just say, okay, we'll figure that out later, but you just don't ever know what you're signing up for. I'm a real estate attorney. I practice real estate before becoming an agent. And having been on the other side of that where I'm representing clients who have gone through the process and have not done the due diligence that they needed. And now I'm on the other side trying to unring a bell. You don't want to be on that side when it's expensive until you can't always get what you want. So you might as well take the time and the money and the due diligence up front to make sure that you're buying a sound investment. More from my conversation with rina after the break..

How The Biden Administration Can Tackle America's Longest War
"Administration is reviewing its options in many areas of foreign policy, including Afghanistan. It is America's longest war and in a deal with the Taliban. Last year, the Trump Administration agreed to withdraw U. S troops by May, but The new administration says the Taliban is not keeping its end of the bargain, hinting that U. S troops will likely stay longer. NPR's Michele Kelemen reports a former U. S government and U. N expert on Afghanistan, Rina Amiri knows that Americans are tired of fighting endless wars. Now we're trying to win the peace. But she says the Trump administration left a complicated hand. Amiri, now with New York University, says the U. S emboldened the Taliban. By negotiating the withdrawal schedule and keeping to it even as violent spite and Afghan peace talks faltered. And now what we have the situation where the Taliban feels very much they have won this war that they're winning this war that the peace agreement is simply a cover for withdrawal for the U. S. The U. S still has 2500 troops in Afghanistan under the deal with the Taliban, they're supposed to be gone a few months from now. But Biden's national security advisor Jake Sullivan, says the administration is taking a hard look at whether the Taliban are meeting their commitments to break ties with terrorists, reduce violence and negotiate in a serious way with the Afghan government. And in that context, we make decisions and now our force posture and our diplomatic strategy going forward. That's welcome news to Afghan President Ashraf Ghani. He told the Aspen Institute last week that he expects a U. S team in Kabul soon, and he's gotten good signals from Secretary of State Tony Blinken. A promised me robust diplomacy in the region. Full coordination with us in a focus on ending 40 years of violence, the bidet administration may be promising too much, though Laurel Miller of the International Crisis Group says it's signaling that it wants to keep some US troops in Afghanistan for counterterrorism purposes and wants a peace deal that protects the democratic and human rights gains of the past two decades. Those are all perfectly fine and understandable things to be saying Again in the very first days of the administration, but ultimately you can't have all of the above. Miller says The Biden administration will have to prioritize. There cannot be both a negotiated peace and keeping some troops even a small number in Afghanistan for counterterrorism or any other purposes Because the Taliban won't agree to that there can't be a negotiated peace and No change in the nature of the system of governance and and writes in Afghanistan. U. S officials have long said they would protect women's rights in Afghanistan. Rina Amiri says not following through on that could send the wrong signal to Islamist groups elsewhere, so she thinks the U. S needs to get the diplomacy, right. And she'd like to see a third party, perhaps from the U. N manage the peace process. It will also be more helpful for the U. S. Because right now, everything right on the U. S. You need a manager of this peace process Right now. We do not have a manager. A State Department spokesperson says the U. S will support the Afghan peace process with a quote senior and robust American diplomatic effort. Trump Administration's envoy, Zalmay Khalilzad, remains on the job.
