it's Showtime welcome to the 404 show ladies and gentlemen it is friday june twelfth almost june thirteenth friday 13th oh well better luck next time horror fans welcome to the the 44 show I'm Jeff Bakalar joined by iyaz Akhtar and across the table from me for the first time ever in our audio experiment thing Shannon kook am i inside a guinea pig hi Shannon kook gets a golf clap yes what's up Shannon how are you I'm great how are you guys uh we're good I as you're good I'm magnificent today alright that seems like an exaggeration your hand you said you were magnificent then you shook your head yeah see that's the magic of audio only say they wouldn't have known well I'm gonna tell everyone everything I see this is gonna be a great watch out oh you're just calling I as out I as you're full of it I am full of it so Shannon you're in town all the time that's right I live here and we brought you back it's been a very long time so so so what have you been up to why haven't you been around what what's like you hate us like no well I'm abandoned us no this is the video and then she just ran away this feels very unfair actually I was giving you guys time to find your legs find your feet to figure it all I can find another right here uh I got him I know they were rubbing against my feet a few seconds ago oh ah I've been around but you guys have been you know I'm changing up your format and so I was just giving you some distance so you could sort your stuff out and then I ok I like to arrive when it's streamlined fair enough ready to go giving us our space to get her and crap together is the answer exactly wonderful but I missed you terribly and I'm thrilled to be back and he's flipping me off everybody this is but not true she actually just spit on your computer actually step I'm actually picking his nose I'm not flipping oh wow that's a friendly kind of interaction wait so it's funny you're gone for so long it's been literally sick strong going on about it you could have invited me back sooner and I would have come at the drop of a hat right I would have come here at the drop of a hat all even alone um but what a fortuitous coincidence that you decide to come back the week that there's this massive gigantic announcement from yeah I guess what's now your biggest competition yes though i should point out we had planted not the guy we did but is still a 14-8 mistress uh so this is huge apple had a conference earlier this week at WWDC which we won't bother to find out what that stands for but they announced apple music was the way they ended their press conference it's a ten dollar a month service any song you want to listen to on demand trying to think of another program / service that does something like that and we just got to throw out the caveat Shannon does work for Spotify so we're not gonna you know pick and choose sides here right we're just trying to have I might there you may because you might be biased slightly you're contractually obligated but we're going to keep you in check okay ah but this is a major deal in it and it has to be discussed because Apple music is something that we've known about for a long time but it's finally out there and I need to come out and say first that my impression from the announcement was as a Spotify user i currently pay for spotify myself I don't believe I will be switching their to me to me I am presently holding a gun to just head yeah but the Safety's on to me it does not present a compelling reason to switch now let's also for a second forget about the fact that well there's a free version of Spotify which Apple music will not have that's not true there is a free version you can get like a queue I think with the beach radio service and career on an iOS device that you can't do that when they android version show okay stay a couple of freebies that are involved but it's not like you can do on demand right okay so let's talk about beats one for a second do we have to write that's my point so the whole press conference the whole key know the whole introduction of Apple music was like the freedom that your choice your freedom right it was like a lot of that verbiage was uh was used and then they go on there like all right and we have three radio stations for you like all of the world's very John wrote a stand music taste and all that other stuff with three radio stations for you just always strange right is it it's why it's three different locations it's the same stream for everybody the same house that's what it's supposed to be so you can listen to it worldwide especially three different djs New York LA and London is that so you're telling me now because I guess I'm confused you're telling me the the London DJ it was playing the same thing that la DJ's playing I think they're just gonna hand off the hours that's pretty much it that's ever yeah do you know anything about this or no no I mean I heard that I've heard as much as you've heard so better but i think the radio thing sounds really cool and don't know and i'm i'm looking forward to checking it out okay Sam I'm looking forward to checking a three month free trial that's that's insane Teela here's three months go ahead no rate you know what that is they're gonna get lock-in you forgot to you right I know yeah yeah oh right we still have your freaking credit card information and by agreeing to three months free you agreed for us to automatically charge you at the end of that anybody have your credit card this is gonna happen I'm sure it's going to be painfully easy to like accidentally I can you know sign up uh because I'm sure when you sign up for that three month trial you agree that you will automatically get paid unless you you know unsubscribe at the last minute or before the period ends Jan you're actually excited about the radio station yeah no I'm excited about um I'm looking forward to checking out the whole Apple music experience I mean I'm a fan of apple I have nothing against Apple insurance you know it's expected that I'm going to say something negative about it but the truth is um you know and it's also expected that I'm going to say something about how spotify worried and is this going to be the beginning of the end of spotify but we're not worried and I think part of the reason we're not worried is because we have great users we have very loyal users we just announced we have 75 million active users now that's a lot and 20 million paid subscribers our numbers have almost doubled just in the past year so we're we're very comfortable we're very happy we're thinking ahead to the future and I think that there are so many people in the world and of all the people in the world lot of them like music and a lot of them have cell phones so I think there's enough room mmm for other services so bring it on I I can't wait to check it out at the end of the month rdio see what it's like that's what happened what I'm curious about is like I guess I'm curious about the geeky stuff that no one really knows yet like you guys do you have any idea what kind of like streaming quality yet SAT to 56 kilobits per second so to lower quality then you know Google Play and on Spotify 320 20th those other guys okay that's a little strange well I mean loyalty most people with an apple product use those white earbuds so they don't know if you have they don't know yep she had one last year unless your ass an audio engineer or me work in recording studios all day it's probably not going to be a huge yeah I mean I guess the difference between 320 and 256 is not to discern if it was 128 or something but yes and you'd be like hey you wait a second but that's what other geeky things you're thinking about I don't know I guess that's it um but there is a question whether the entire catalog is streamable too because they said you get all of itunes music so include the the Beatles right they're not on everything as far as I know no there's like one album on google play I think they're on Spotify we do not have to because the Beatles are like notorious with when it comes to that that licensing yeah there's a question whether that will even be on the streaming service as well interesting and there's still itunes match which still exists as a separate thing so that it's interesting so I wonder like what what's going to happen to iTunes like what I mean if I'm did I would imagine people just will stop buying music like if I not all at once overnight but if I'm an active music purchaser through itunes and and you know in my inbox says hey you know wanted to spend ten bucks and have all you can eat and I can't just see myself being like I don't know bioniche album individually seems like the better deal you know I just can't see that happening there's gonna be a massive drop-off how could there not be I mean that has to happen but I could also see people saying like okay I'm not gonna subscribe forever I'm gonna buy these tracks like I've done there for other services are trying out other music service i'll buy the track so I'll own it don't have to keep paying for the streaming service that didn't need it streaming all the time right that's one weird things I keep thinking about with these streaming services it's as if everyone has unlimited data and I don't well I know T Mobile allows you to stream music for free that's there's another thing so like it's I still think it's a little ahead yeah but it you know what it is like uh I actually found this out the hard way while I was away in Texas I wound up streaming two gigabytes of Spotify which was a problem and you know I feel like most people hook up their phones to Wi-Fi yeah then do the other extended for extended streaming yeah sessions that's recommended that is recommended by Spotify which is across the table alright so let's let's shelf the apple stuff for for now we'll have to see how that all shakes out I sit when does it all come at you too didn't I still think the whole my son's birthday Oh excellent I still think the whole my mother's birthday today my son is your mom ways doorman today is your mom's birthday today not you maybe your son is my mom's son no oh no no what's happening whoa happy birthday yeah happy birthday to everybody involved is the whole radio station thing sounds so freakin screw you to me I think I get it they're like when you start the app up since it's the music app because it's the same music have you been using when you want to go what am I going to discover you just turn that thing on while you're just like looking for other stuff but it's like one voice for all of Earth that's apparently revolutionary like is the opposite of choice that is the opposite of the Phantom to explore this but you don't we have to have to partake you don't know what listen to it at all like that something i really love it see and i think other streaming services would never do something like this and if they did they would offer the entire gamuts worth of genre and choice like to me to me the whole it's it's this whole sort of like falling into line thing with with like what you know this is what you should be listening to and that's like the exact opposite of what this is trying you know that they've had like like internet radio streaming on iTunes forever right and nobody uses it right maybe that's why they went with one well I think they should probably wrong hush up people use it all its I think they should do this I think you should be able to stream your own show with you cutting in after the track using the Apple music library that would be rad that's a terrible idea why because it's going to be a bunch of amateurs crap fine all the good or float to the top just like ready like right yeah yeah like ready all the good floats to the top you don't think so hmm well there is that social networking like that idea actually I think it'd be great if you had a section of it's like it's like music it's like one step ahead of okay build your own playlist right build your own show around your place man so here is he's sending out an email to Spotify it's like you should you should do this and I'd be happy to host the metal can you not air this podcast for a while Posey is a joke without lawyers for a bit post dated that's just be like a bunch of static in the middle the episode if you yech we must add a technical difficulties I just need to be so brilliant if I could let you know a personality that I like right yeah that just me and maybe it's sold maybe there's ads on it you know like the way podcasts are starting to get ads because you just heard one on our show so I feel like that to me makes sense it's sort of it's almost a form of podcasting in a weird way except maybe it's live then they have some curated playlists on this new music service maybe I don't know we don't know enough about it because no one's really had hands-on with the damn thing I think we'll find out soon enough also yesterday and we will get to Shannon's playlist and we will talk more about Shannon's always fantastic taste in music yesterday oculus big news from the oculus rift people which is a Facebook company don't forget Facebook owns aequitas even like a couple billion 1 billion dollars i believe or maybe 32 bill yeah what's a billion dollars when your facebook to instagram ah so they bought oculus and then yesterday the company comes out and says hey here's what the final retail oculus rift is going to look like and they showed it they didn't show a price they didn't show say a date all we know is 2016 but the big bombshell is that there's going to be xbox one compatibility specifically through Windows 10 so if you have a Windows 10 machine ah and apparently an xbox one you will be able to stream in xbox one game right onto your head and play it with the included that's right the included xbox one controller that's going to ship oh my god with now now Shannon stop jumping off the walls oh whoa I'm holding myself down here signing out no it sounds great it sounds really cool i want one I want three you can have three but so what is this you put this on your head on your head strange visor like binoculars motion-sensing have a camera that that watches you and will react to your head movements as well and so it takes you out of reality no you stay in reality but you you don't like leave the third dimension you stay here you don't time travel or anything like that I know that's what you're hoping for but what he's so you're like playing you can play game you can watch a movie version reality headsets like all the stuff that you see like Lawnmower Man or wherever well the movies have virtual reality I don't I don't know but you get it right Joe this isn't like over your head right you're just playing but yeah so that's about as fun so that's what this is no pricing and apparently then you'd like or you need a seriously beefy computer to run this thing right like it's not just gonna run like on a little happy ultrabook or something no I would imagine you need a somewhat of a decent graphics growth I'm this thing I wish I knew what it was called and you will probably know people with listeners don't they'll know my Ben is Daniel C bug he used to be a tech reporter at CBS and ready seeing now he works Google yes he brought home this thing it was made of cardboard and it was the same concept that's you'd want your cardboard that's good it's cold yeah okay I just came home and was like oh what's this thing that's how the name came about and was a short board then Shannon tried to recycle it he put it uh he put his phone in it he handed it to our four-year-old yeah and she absolutely loved it and we all tried out it was it was the same idea yeah and I was very cool so that's google's even my mom yeah daddy's happy birthday my god happy birthday mom his cardboard have some CAD board mom she's Australian so those how Cheetos uh no but it was a very cool idea and we all we all played around with that we all really liked it so so yeah I think this oculus I guess yeah so that's the thing like that's Google sort of answer to that the google ones like what a couple bucks you can get yourself you that's just cardboard wrestle this thing is going to be like what the price is like room to be fifteen hundred dollars uh yeah I don't know it's gonna be really seriously intense about this like oh yeah I'm gonna spend this and put this on my face and wear it all day I still all day but one of your gaming what's cooking is that there's developers do you wouldn't wear don't I would you know oh man well if you really hate where you are yeah if you just want to like be absorbed by that other reality but I mean you've realized reality when you are wearing this thing you're right wearing it all day suspicious I think you're instantly like red-flagged if you're the guy wearing this all day mmm you could save an electric you know cuz you get lights off yes on your face all baby may be nicer apartment you will need to see the toilet at some point that's true that's you know any lag there that's problematic especially if you're still wearing the yeah well you're right well it appears well I think maybe you just don't leave the toilet you stay on there god I think Ron to something I think there's a future it's like the future from what's ready player one I mawali for a wallet yeah you just sit there is like okay it's like everywhere you sit you can poo amazing the future like you're a bro now but I don't think it's socially acceptable ok back to the game thing real quick what are we talking now we're talking about camping in virtual reality Oh babies there are there are realistic like sort of you know think about it okay they have all the support there's these game developers like establish game developers who are saying we're making games for your oculus rift headset so people are invested bets are being made on this thing whether or not it takes off is another story I for one think it will be a slow and steady sort of thing sticking in the novelty category for a little bit a little while to come it's gonna get like rolled in with Sony's working on the moat Morpheus why I think it is gonna be like we get a playstation five or whatever they go their dread set maybe because I think that's the way you get mass adoption you can do as a peripheral right by itself that seems like a really which is why I culous is is trying to do something with Microsoft where it's like all right people we want this association we want you know some sort of tan demised introduction to the to the world so let's do it like that there's my new word of the day randomized yeah there you go use that one often is I don't think so it should be a playlist think I just invented it and mais demain no here's about a budget I just learned it a word that's kind of used in PR circles it's id8 id8 you can't like come up with ideas yes oh that makes me want to go you just say I have you come up with some idea we're having a brainstorming I did it sounds like oh look I got the idea off of vanity license plates that's where I got the yeah I r.i.p brainstorming when we come back we're gonna take a quick break we will talk with Shannon all about some brand new music get ready because everything you're about to consider trending you probably haven't heard yet maybe that's just the case for me did I say that's what not but I know I'm just talking about expectations let's have a break in I d8 all right I d8 we'll be right back did you know that your cars valued appreciates by ten percent the second you drive it out of the dealership lot and then

we're not listening to them no we're not listening to it just yet so so you want to preface someone so what are these are the Boogie trendiest tracks the trendiest tracks with a Shannon kook trendy tracks coming to a t-shirt near you these songs I mean you you know my deal its bottom by I'm their trendspotter their trends groove you want to call me and my job is to highlight songs and artists who are bubbling up who are doing well new people are listen to listening to in high numbers who people are sharing a lot okay cuz you know in this day and age we see sharing is a sign of approval you like something you want to be the first one to tell your friends of course sort of think dude listen to this yeah a lot of that and remember that I'm the one that told you about how what was my voice was just weird I don't know adblue I was not read it was amazing know what that was like Australian bro edit that out I'm canceling your Spotify subscript 0 what do you mean I pay good money for that yours expired she's go out of your way just cancer you you do what happens in ten dollars get it out of my paper is every year as soon as you got rid of the video format i sent an email you're like all right boys let's Access subscription all right so what do you would you like for us and maybe throw on those headphones you can hear what we're here in there now no worries it's a family show we're all good we're all friends here now I'm dressed yes um I want to okay the most viral song in the world at the moment on Spotify is a song by Jamie xx does that plan right now no I'm about that play for us all right I'm apparently the DJ here so we have a DJ together so this could be interesting this is it Jamie xx Jamie xx who is a music producer fresh DJ type and he is the producer of a london-based group called the xx who's very popular especially on Spotify and he's just Ragini's just released his first studio solo album and this is off that album art what's this is this racing I kind of did it Oh time a good time is gonna be some good time we used to pull up a little I don't hate this it's very chill it is chill which is kind of the xx's vibe it's like understated what's electron and the XX yeah that's what I just said that's what see he is tired no wait i thought the band was like a rock band no it's kind of it's more like a trippy trip-hop trip-hop electronic as a thing Tupac they'll play that on beats one I'll tell you that but I think this is gonna be a big underground hit through the summer some of the raps some of the lyrics though yeah little x-rated you might have to comb through them later make sure you're not saying weird stuff yeah there's a line about squish it squish it that like what I'm not gonna say the whole line but all right pull up those lyrics and have a little read gets a pretty entertaining there's also a stroller metaphor which has a parent I don't understand stroller like like an upper baby reference no you just have to read the lyrics and I'm sure some people listening to this right now I've already got there lyrics up and they're going oh my god that's disgusting I'm into it this is a great song this is our most viral track around the world at the moment should notify staffers sorry to interrupt yeah talking about Spotify employees now um we've been listening to this song for a while so what so what makes it the most viral song and in the world like how does that work well we calculate how many times the song has been shed okay and divide it by how many times it's been strange so it's just a simple formula it's not like some weirdo Spotify algorithm no oh man oh no you could be like a special sauce I want to be like the magic ingredient in coca-cola but it is a magic formula in that it it does point us towards these songs that um even though they might not be streaming in massive numbers they're getting shared a lot which sort of gives them give us gives us a heads up of what would potentially be a hit remember when I was coming in and always talking about that young museum linder Lord yeah remember her because she was a viral / spiral always sounds kind of sounds a little dirty yeah little personal she's a petri dish what's her deal now she making new music I think so I would imagine so I'm sure she's got an album in the works love her yeah I music you she's great she has been a little quiet lately the whole South Park stuff was great it was awesome she played real nice with that she was a good sport about it she's really um she's really impressive she doesn't mold herself in any way won't be any kind of idea what the hell you think yeah an entry I'm from New Zealand dammit deal with it another artist whose trending at the moment is ASAP Rocky okay I'm Harlem rapper he had a really big first week with his latest album on Spotify in fact it was the second highest first-week debut we've had me streamed more than 20 million times in the first week oh sorry you yeah that's me I'm such as God being at dj's hod you got a call girl talk and play the song let me hear you like into it on Spotify one this is shannon cook and i'm here with the new ASAP Rocky I want you to do it cuz that was perfect what is this is called LSD and can you hear it you playing it's not my fault now yeah it's playing there you go oh I wanted to do it but anyway let's hear it um a few of a SEP songs have been scaling out viral charts and this is a very trippy album yeah I'm already tripping hmm i'm still really write other side cyber whoa okay i think was i right yeah so the stroller thing please explain anyway we shall focus st so it's gotta be about drugs ASAP but I need making love songs baby I'm just wrapping to this L smize it there's good tracks on this album there's another one like people are rocking this like cynthy eighties sort of thing lately right like that's the thing now and another thing we're doing is on this song every day is we're getting in line with old white dudes like Paul McCartney and in this case Rod Stewart he samples Rod Stewart on this song every day this is quite popular on Spotify at the moment okay let says a lot of these songs are just so relaxed like well then I think that's why i said it's it's sort of weezy don't get to the end of the album you're like whoa so this song I think sucks but the first to give it a huge chance let's try some more he bitches guys right with biscuit really that's why's it always gotta be bitch was that the rhyme that's right they rhymed bitches with biscuits you know what I actually think that's clever you think biscuits and bitches rhyming is clever no I did get to get it just sounded good it sounded good especially sounded good winches and it sounds good when I SS sign me up for some bitches in business not a mega that's a different video not sound good coming from you and the delicious so what it sounds like this is a weird one so who's behind this it's this is this is ASAP rocky and he sampled Rod Stewart and then somebody track some people are saying that the two might get together to do some kind of collaboration that's gonna be a weird audience ameritech show is nothing to do with music anyway that's ASAP rocky and rap by the way it is having a real moment on Spotify this year this album Rocky's album was the seventh album hip-hop album to have the the biggest debut week on Spotify in terms of streams I'm Kendrick Lamar he's he's streamed like 35 million times in the first week right and it's it's interesting because outside of the streaming space hip-hop does very well but it's not necessarily always on top where is this your desk job what I mean come on there was a big news story last month metal right I know you heard about that yes never on one metal song I didn't I'm sorry but it's true metal like make up for that I brought a very cheesy eighties sounding song alright fair enough I like a tease I'm a sucker for 80 stuff but here let me talk about another person who's not cheesy and she's definitely not from the 80s she's only 18 years old oh my god her name is alessia cara okay anything that sounds like karo aur tera always sounds ridiculous with my accent not only are are are you wanna know era yes I know ago kitaro Australian metal voice please make sure she corrected you say Tara like that right not terror well in Australia say Tara Tara anyway this is a less Cara this has been a hot song on our viral charts it's called here sultry well it's to me it sounds a little Portishead yeah it's like a gin Wigmore thing to you know that is no like she's like born out of the amy winehouse right right she's got that sort of affected voice but what I like about this girl is obviously we're not gonna listen to the whole song but if you do listen to the song there are no stroller references in this data phone but what is only 18 but what has got out of one um but she the song is all about going to parties and actually not fitting in and wishing she wasn't there like oh he's going to the coolest party in the city and she's hating hating it she hates the music they're playing she hates the pretentious people she hates that she's getting hit on yeah welcome to real life is the introverts on yeah but that's what's nice and real about this job and what's real about her because it's not always like a pitbull potty song is it it's not what's your name my name's alessia cara lesya is just finding out the same thing we all found out when we were 18 and she's mad about it everything sucks good for you but i like i like it she describes herself in this song as an anti-social pessimist and I know I just that's pretty big likely it's like an anti-party song and I think at a time when there are just party songs everywhere sure by the way potties in other word my accent just sounds too horrible you know who does a lot of that kind of stuff to Lana Del Rey is like Jeff or email like that yes I hmm she's just a bummer she's like a debbie downer hugely popular though and i think that alessia is going to we think she's gonna break out I like her he beg her debut albums coming it's on she's with Def Jam I believe huh alright can i play you my favorite song at the moment better have guitars and a drummer hmm unfortunately you ever bring that it has tars and it has a drummer sign me up the total cheesy 80 sound it says it's been around for a little bit and it's it's done really well all around the world I feel like 10 5 seconds of summer no mind no this is a song called shut up and dance by a group called walk the moon who walk the moon walk the moon or anything walk the moon thanks I you look good this is me kicking you and sounds like the guitar sound like you I know it sounds like it's totally ripped for me too but my husband actually played it side by side I've heard this on this is a good summary song as we're heading towards summer this is much more fun but you've got to watch the music video I wish we were still I think I tell you what the music video is what is that it's like guys on a road trip no in the hilarious it's very 80s and cheesy and it's deliberately so we are ruling on the microphone that's what the song does do I really like the song it's cool i like it too it feels like any money it feels like a lot of my face genesis rover yeah I can see that if you've gotta check out the videos you know this sounds like late fall out boy yes sort of like poppy raw it does it's a group from there from Ohio walk the moon how old are they they got it they've only been around for a few years I believe but their route this song has broken them and they go back to I hope I Ohio and they play shows and everyone's very excited in it it's all very lovely this parts good the breakdown or did you dare they remind me of like uh dunno cobra starship yep like those guys are they like those dudes were in punk rock bands and they're like let's make it more cheesy and accessible more fun yeah and that's definitely what this is it's a fun song please please watch the video cuz you'll love it there's even some break dancing it's pretty good I thought but I thought we were gonna get to like real eighties sort of stuff no this is this is his 80s as I bring it today oh we're watching the video yeah it's basically like a lot of sledgehammer Peter Gabriel stuff there's a redhead it's good man I dig it a good song I I can't deny it I heard it on I was in a bachelor party over the weekend I heard it I was like all right I don't hate did you shut up and dance I did dance my dance my ass off I still can't find it um alright we only have a few more minutes can I just believe can I just play for you is so I want to give you an opportunity to tease me and Phil play you a song that I've been really into there's this um DJ very popular on Spotify around the world at the moment his name is Kai go very young okay very cute mmm gentlemen I gotta do with it I believe he's Norwegian okay that's nothing to do with that behind me I don't even know what you're talking about um he has a huge song around the world it's like top five all around the world called stole the show and I recently discovered he's remix of sexual healing oh wow okay so and I really really like it so can we play some of that sure is it going yes it is going it's just slide or you you don't have your hand on the right knob and that's always the case maybe you need some sexual healing job I think so All Right see where we're going that was Jenna by the way this is about it so much I don't want to be like the guy who says like all these remixes suck this is bad like if I don't know it's not like the keyboard casio demo yeah drum loop like lupe bad it's not bad I like it there's a bit of a horse trough sound too i don't know that is but i don't know i like it i wanted to introduce you to a guy he's really cool you might like you know who I like I just stuttered when i said hi guys did you hear because you're all about you know that no I think I go it's your Chi go like this parts actually everyone it sucks come on man I just killed it because I should go extend you just being main

this is what finished the Apple peanut butter yeah I know good for Apple was a bit so if you did son it just doesn't like it's not it's not displeasing to the ears it's a very 22,000 dude I guess
