Show #41/DJing Live Set #4

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!!!💕🥹

internet excess episode 28

Episode 28 (OG Airdate: 2/7/23)

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)

What if that real “Indie Sleaze” was the friends we made along the way?🥹

In this episode, I did some live turntable mixing, going back-and-forth between spinning 00’s Electroclash staples and spinning their early 2020’s sonic-equivalents - essentially splitting tonight's setlist into multiple PAIRINGS of 👩🏻‍🎤𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐍👩🏻‍🎤 vs. 🧑🏻‍🎤𝐍𝐎𝐖🧑🏻‍🎤 (see pairings below) - with the purpose of highlighting Electroclash/Indie Sleaze’s reemergence in popular culture this year... 

Like I predicted back in Jan. during my E-Clash Ep. (EP.51 - stream here: soundcloud.com/internetexcess/ep51), “Indie Sleaze” (AKA E-Clash + Bloghaus) has come back this year with a VENGEANCE that can only be satisfied by booze, glitter, and the piss you find on an NYC street corner!🗽🍻

As such, I decided to follow up said E-Clash episode with an update on the E-Clash/Indie Slz scene 9 months later as it rears it’s head again - just like I said it would! But then again…did Indie Sleaze ever really leave?🤔

In this episode, I debate whether Indie Sleaze is even a genre, or if it’s actually just a catch-all term used to define the combination of niche microgenres, graphic design aesthetics (bright bold jewel tones and neon colors, triangular zig-zagging shapes, thin italic font, flash photography📸), and internet communities belonging to a certain time (Myspace era-musicians)…

Hmmm. “A catch-all term used to define the combination of niche microgenres, aesthetics, and internet communities belonging to a certain time”….call me crazy…but doesn’t that perfectly describe the term “Hyperpop” as well??😱 

In this episode, I argue that a lot of the so-called “Hyperpop” scene that we discuss so often on this show has sort of always been an extension of the E-Clash scene of the early 00’s (albeit w/ some IMPORTANT differences: namely, H-Pop is a maximalist approach to E-Clash’s DIY dance-punk minimalism). Further, I argue that the H-pop artists that were defined by maximalism 5-10 years ago are rapidly stripping back their sound and metamorphosing into Electroclashian Revivalists…🎸

The similarities between 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 created to be 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, in being messy, in being…Brat…👀

Yes that’s right - Charli XCX’s “Brat”🟩 has been at the forefront of the Indie Sleaze revival, with Charli embracing the spoken-word-sing-rapping of E-Clash and Bloghaus stars like Uffie, the disaffected verb listicle of Daft Punk’s “Technologic” on songs like “Guess” (“Buy it, use it, break it, fix it” / “Try it, bite it, lick it, spit it”), and the flash photography photoshoots done by none other than TheCobraSnake.

But she’s not the only one! Snow Strippers embrace the goth, 8-bit bops of duo Crystal Castles💎, The Dare repurposes the funky, punky, minimalist blasé of LCD Soundsystem, provocateur Brooke Candy revives the come-on rapping of Peaches🍑, Frost Children embrace the shouty hedonism of 00’s scenesters 3OH!3, and more! “Dimes Square” NY Scene-sters have dived head-first into the hedonism of the 00’s indie NYC scene.🪩

2024: the year Hyperpop went Indie Sleaze!✨

Episode 65: The Indie Sleaze Episode (Live DJ Set #11) (OG AIRDATE: 9/3/24)

If you don’t know what “indie sleaze” means by now, have you even LISTENED to my show before?? 😳

(If not, welcome! Go to https://soundcloud.com/internetexcess/ep51 or https://soundcloud.com/internetexcess/ep65 and listen to those episodes first for a good description/intro to the non-genre genre) - take good notes! 🧑🏻‍🏫🫡

I recently went to an indie sleaze party that was one of the best parties I’ve been to in Santa Barbara, and I have now been fully 100% red-indie-sleaze-pilled, going down the rabbit hole of Santigold deep cuts, arguing over Franz Ferdinand’s later output, and sending love to shooting stars, Bag Raiders-style. 💊🌠💥🪩

This red-pilling culminated in me stating to a friend a realization I stumbled upon: that The Killers serve as a bridge between the The Strokes and Fall Out Boy…

…or, rather, that the Vegas theatrics and minor synths of their still-a-rock-album Hot Fuss served as a bridge from the Garage Rock Revival of the early 00’s into the Pop-Punk revival of the mid-00’s 🤯🌃🎸

Have no IDEA what I’m talking about?? Then great, this episode of Internet Excess is for yoUUUU! 🥳🫶🎊

Tonight’s (and next week’s part two) setlists are *mostly* inspired by said indie sleaze party, but also feature some random songs I’ve been bopping to as of late thrown in :) 💫🍎🍋🍐👀

Ep. 71: ✨GLITTER✨ (Pt. 1 of 2)

(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!
