LORDS OF THE SYNTH

This episode brought to you by:

1. More fresh pow than the final scene of Scarface, yo
2. Drinkin’ bricks of Tanqueray (R.I.P Biggie)
3. Niseko RSCG (2009 Advertising Federation Of Australia Award Winner - “Best Work Environment”)
4. Maz the Niseko Taco-Van Man
5. The words “sick”, “epic” and “what’s”

Big (in Japan) shout outs to @ben_phillips, had to head home early and keep the Australian economy afloat. And shout outs to STUART: pow and park and horrifying japanese porn is always slightly lacking without you. Keep your eye out for that special lubed-up six-pack coming your way. I got “extra tight flavour” for you.

Well I’m glad THAT’S over. Many listeners may not know, but as my day-job I moonlight as a charismatic U.S Senator from the state of Illinois. And I was recently elected president of the United States. Who knew that would turn into such a big time-suck?

Anyway, I’m back at the TOMMYK mixing desk, but not for long… New Years 2009, I’m heading overseas to scout for un-signed Victoria’s Secret models and Baile Funk M.C talent in the favelas of Rio De Janeiro.

No for realz, I am actually moving to Rio. So let’s get this Sydney-side synth out while it lasts, before I expand the Lords into a trans-Pacific tag-team and import/export conglomerate. There’s focus on the “import”.

Make sure you check the new track from our mates Heads We Dance. “The Human Touch” should be in every DJ’s christmas stocking, just in time for New Years Eve. Daft and Justice-y goodness that tastes great!

Remember the urban legend that Stephanie Tanner from Full House (Jodie Sweetin) died in a rollercoaster accident?! That was only half-true.  She actually was involved in a train-wreck… her LIFE.

Poor girl married a cop, fell victim to the crystal meth and had to recover in some Baptist detox centre, before landing a gig hosting a stripper-themed reality show on US cable called “Pants-Off Dance-Off”.

Hey, at least she didn’t end up properly crazy like the Olsen Twins…

“Kids, I’ve called this meeting because I’m the most caring dad ever. Now, I know how much it hurt when mom died. I mean, I still miss her and will always love her. But a man has needs, y’know? I need a M to F, know what I mean?! Yeahhh, you do!

So I want you all to try to make nice with your new mom, and her three obnoxious kids. Hell, maybe even some hijinks will ensue? Or even a teen pregnancy, who knows? One day, you’ll all understand. Except that creepy nerd kid of hers. He’ll never understand.

I declare this family meeting closed, who wants a beer?”

Riddle me this: What do smash-hit TV sitcoms “Perfect Strangers”, “Full House”, “Step By Step”, “Valerie” and “Family Matters” all have in common?

A: Jesse Frederick, theme song composer extraordinaire. This man set the bar for 80s family television intro themes. And all this month it’s JESSE FREDERICK MONTH here at the Lords Of The Synth Podcast. Keep up the good work Jesse … Oh, you’re dead? Sorry about that. Bus-crash? The AIDS? Anyway, sucks.

See you next episode, TV fans.

Looks like I’ve been slacking. My contract clearly states that I must:

a) Be (easily) the most manly and handsome of the Synth Lords and;
b) Produce at least half the amount of podcasts that Stu does.

And I think we both know which one of those K.P.Is I’ve been slipping on…

So I bring you: 16 Super-Solid Sexy Tracks for SHOE-SHOPPING! Available in-stores now!**

** Seriously have you seen this shit advertised on TV? I was unawares there were specialty shoe-shopping songs. I mean, I’m all for physical training and shopping montages, but shoe-shopping specifically? That’s NICHE marketing, right there.

Oooh…. Ok so we were hanging out for like, 2 weeks trying to come up with some ultra-clever concept for our #69 podcast. But the concept did not come freely. I mean, we only work in media and advertising, so it’s not like we can just produce these creative ideas that scream “SIXTY-NINE! HAHHAHAHAH” at the drop of a hat. So instead, we give you this.

“IN THIS COUNTRY you gotta make the money first. THEN when you get the money, you get the power. THEN when you get the power, you get to sleep til noon and mix awesome electro tracks you rip off music blogs.”

- Tony Montana, Cuban emigre & podcasting entrepreneur

In this issue, keep an ear out for exotic-sounding Lykke Li, Van She and Doe Deere. By the names and accents, I’m pretty sure they’re all sexy Euro glamour models with an ear for throwback synth remixes
