Episode 56 (2 Year Anniversary Special Pt. 2) (OG Airdate: 4/15/24)

I got the chance to sit down and interview the one, the only, the killer of moods, MOOD KILLER! (@moodkillermusic) about their spellbinding (pun-intended) new album, Abracadabra! 🪄🔮 

Stream the album here!: https://found.ee/ABRACADABRA999

Listen to Mood and I discuss their musical background, our favorite divas, the “hyperpop” scene at large, their meta production style, the intersection of astrology/religion/esoterica/science, Avatar the last Airbender, and much, much more! 

When I started this show 2+ years ago, I used Mood Killer’s track "No Rest For The Wicked" on my demo reel as an example of the types of songs I wanted to play on my show - songs I felt were breaking the boundaries of what "pop" music could be. To get to sit down with them and talk about their unique style and genre-breaking sensibilities was truly a dream come true. 

Thanks again, Mood!!!💕🥹

The Joveth Episode! (Interview + Live Performances) - Ep. #69 (Airdate: 10/1/24)

It’s aliiiiive! It’s aliiiiive! Electroclash is BACK BACK BACK AGAIN, just like I’ve been saying it would be! 🎉🪩⚡️

In this episode of Internet Excess, I did some live DJing on the turntables, while *also* discussing the rise and fall and rise again of Electroclash, the HYPER-influential (see what I did there? 😉) niche microgenre of sparse, minimalist, DIY Dance-Punk that began in the early 00’s...or did it? 🤔

While DJing some Electroclash classics (some “Club Classics” if you will), I draw a through-line between electronic punk music’s reincarnation over the years:

New Wave/Post-Punk in the 80’s => Electroclash (AKA “New-New-Wave”, AKA “Post-Post-Punk”) in the 00’s => Hyperpop (what I’m coining as “Newest Wave”™️ or “Post-Post-𝘗𝘰𝘴𝘵-Punk”™️) in the 10’s/20’s. 🎸🔋

After all, even Hyperpop artist underscores refers to her music as “the New Wave of the future”!  🌊🤖

There *are* key differences, of course (Hyperpop is more maximalist, for starters), but the through-line between the Electroclash scene retroactively referred to as “indie sleaze” and our current era of internet excess is made apparent in this episode of Internet Excess. Hell, the very name of this show - a title I made as a better summary of what “Hyperpop” really means - is essentially a synonym for the term “Indie Sleaze” itself: an embrace of in-your-face, no-holds-barred, era-defining niche/independent music that revels in coming home with glitter on your face, revels in being messy, revels in being…Brat… 👀🧑🏻‍🎤

This episode of Internet Excess is from January 2024, and during it, I predicted a true Electroclash (not just Hyperpop) resurgence would come - little did I know JUST how soon I would be right, with Charli XCX’s “Brat” embracing the spoken-word-sing-rapping of Electroclash and Bloghaus stars like Uffie (as well as the disaffected verb listicle of Daft Punk’s “Technologic”), Snow Strippers’ “So What If I’m A Freak” embracing into the goth-8-bit bops of duo of Crystal Castles💎🏰, provocateur Brooke Candy reviving the stomp-clap, call-and-response feminist earworms of The Ting Tings and Peaches 🍑, The Dare reenacting the minimalist blasé of LCD Soundsystem 📻, and other “Dimes Square” NY Scene-sters trying to recreate the hipster sleaze of the 00’s indie NYC scene and Myspace era. 🔊✨

Hell, to further prove my point, I even did a Part 2 to this episode of Internet Excess 9 months later in Sept. 2024, where I again get behind the decks, this time Dj-ing back-and-forth between 00’s Electroclash staples and their early 2020’s sonic-equivalents as part of the “indie sleaze” (Electroclash) revivaL: See Episode # 65 for that! (soundcloud.com/internetexcess/ep65) 💿 🎊

Anyways, just wanted to toot my own horn for a minute there. Sorry for being right! Let the record show that I was right! I’m not just a trendsetter - I’m a trend WEATHERVANE. I always know what direction the winds are blowing. 🌬️ Take out your skinny jeans…late 00’s/early 10’s revivalism will be starting in 2026, calling it NEOW! 👖🌦️🌈

Episode 51: The Electroclash Episode! / Live DJ Set #8 (OG AIRDATE: 1/30/24)

(OG Airdate: 3/26/24)

The BRAT era has begun!! 🧑🏻‍🎤 🟩 The "SMILE XD" era has begun!! 📣💻😊🎈

These two troublemakers (Charli and Porter) have a history of being bellwethers of pop- always a few steps ahead of the curve, alerting those pop purveyors stuck in the present what the future holds, guiding us plebs to where pop music will soon trend towards... 💡🌦️🔮

With this in mind, judging by the blinding, bouncy, Owl-City-esque neon synths in "Cheerleader" and the sparse, Bloghaus feel to Charli's new club-anthem-to-end-all-club-anthems, "Von Dutch," I'd argue that these weathervanes of capital-P Pop are guiding us in One Direction: the party-starting, maximalist, glitter-and-piss, lightlaserbeam EDM, disco-tech, Recession Pop of 2008 - 2012. 🌬️🪩💥💄💎🎆

Put your Y2K shit away - time to invest in some skinny jeans, "I <3 Boobies" Hot Topic bracelets, and sleeveless neon LMFAO gear, because the late 00's/early 10's are coming baaack baby! (official revival to start in 2026, I'm calling it now!) 👖🪐🛍️

The revival has issued its warning shot. Spin that record babe (da-doo-doo), and dance (dance) like it's the last (last) night of your life (life) 😉🕺💿🍸

Anyways, let's talk about it! "Internet Excess Episode 54: Party Pop's Warning Shot" - available here! 🔥🪩⚡️

In today’s episode, my friend Lucy and I discuss the niche “internet music” genre known as “Hyperpop.” We each discuss our individual introductions to pop music, and how those introductions eventually led us into the Hyperpop sphere-of-influence. 💥💻👩🏻‍🎤

A huge thank you to Lucy for joining me for my very first episode! We met during UCSB’s production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a quarterly production we’ve starred in multiple times together, most notably in UCSB’s Spring 2023 production in which she and I played the bad boy/groupie couple, Eddie and Columbia! (the cover for this episode is a pic of us in costume 😌🤘🎺)

Lucy, I adore you, thank you so much for helping me with this, and for picking out the episode’s song selection! (see below). While Lucy doesn’t have any social media you can find her at, you can be sure to find her in the abyss, and in the figments of your imagination!

Episode 46 - Lucy in the Sky with Silicone (OG Airdate: 9/19/23)

PC Music Forever 💖💿💻✨(2013 - 2023)

~~~~~~~~

What’s now known as “Hyperpop” (and was once known as “Bubblegum Bass”) began in the U.K. in 2013; a mysterious collective known as “PC Music” - created by the one and only A. G. Cook - popped up, seemingly out of nowhere. In collaboration with SOPHIE, PC Music came to "shake it up and make it fizz." ✨💥🫧

From there, the rest is history. Join me in celebrating the legacy (and official end) of one of the most influential musical collectives/pseudo-labels of all time. 🫶💻

In this episode, I play some of the label's most influential hits, and conduct an analysis of PC music's impact: what it had to say about art, camp, irony, Warhol, celebrity culture, and music in the internet age - an era of music that the label itself came to shape in its own image. 💿💞

This is Internet Excess' first ever purely instrumental episode - my beepiest boopiest episode yet - as no song in tonight's episode contains any words whatsoever! 

Come along with me and plunge the depths of the human emotions these jungle, IDM, horrorcore, and hyperpop songs attempt to convey, using nothing but glitches, screams, intricate production techniques, and esoteric song titles to guide you towards their meaning. 

I promise you, there's more than meets the ear :)

But wait, there's more! 

Midway through the episode is the worldwide radio premiere of the song "Bubblegum" itself, only here on Internet Excess!! (This song is a bop there's no other way to put it. A truly perfect pop song, y'all got to get into thissss).

Episode 76 - Fund Drive 2025! (Airdate: 2/17/25)

For Internet Excess' two-part, 3 Year Anniversary episode (4/5/22 being our first airdate!), I had the one, the only, my bestie DJ L E on the show!!! 🎉🥳

DJ L E and I have been best friends for thirteen (13!!) years - literally half of our lives. They're one of my biggest inspirations and musical mentors - someone who truly broke my world wide open as a teen and introduced me to a different way of thinking about music. 

Listen to hear us discuss:
- their impact on my musical journey
- their own musical journey, full of genre contradictions 
- how this radio show LITERALLY WOULDN'T EXIST without them

Also, look at that side-by-side of us in 2012(!) and us today 🥲 - the more things change, the more things stay the same 🥹

Love you DJ L E! <3
