The Broadcast
"Welcome, Fort Brunsett, to New Music Friday..." The voice that comes over the radiowaves is wholly pleasant, covered in a delightful English accent. "I am your host, Her Royal Majesty Amanda Green, and I am broadcasting on behalf of WFBR, Fort Brunsett Radio. I am here to present to you the latest and great music, as well as remind you that... It's Friday. There's a full moon. And it appears we're set to have a lovely weekend. Simply perfect," says Amanda Green. "Let's get started with the latest from Charlie Puth. This is titled How Long." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0JiVAiGMjM Charlie Puth - How Long
"As always, I am here to giv eto you new music," says Green. "But I am also here to bring to you my own lovely self. I am here to talk, here to listen, here to play requests for new music. So, have you anything you want to talk about? Something you want to request? Perhaps you have thoughts on The Art of Masculine Domination? Call me. Text me. In the meantime, here's Weekend Woman from Weezer." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGuUAtJ8yMM Weezer - Weekend Woman
"Do you know what I love, Fort Brunsett?" asks that delightfully British voice. "It might be being the Weekend Woman. Maybe. But more than that, it's tribute. As any good member of royalty would. Today, I walked into the studio to a beautiful bouquet, which was left unsigned! Tribute from a secret admirer? It could be. And I would love to dedicate a song out to you, whomever you are, with such great taste in floral arrangements. A love song. Something beautiful and lovely and flirtatious and fun. But, well... This is Tame Impala covering Kylie Minoque's Confide In Me." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Oi-GlociOQ Tame Impala - Confide In Me (Kylie Minogue cover)
"I'm in love with that track. And not just because I love Kylie. You know, us near midgets need to stick together. But I also love Tame Impala," Amanda Green says, as she comes back over the airwaves. "Now, I have another cover! Another song done, in my opinion, uniquely enough to be entirely new. This is a song dedicated to absolutely no one, and it's Ryan Adam performing Tegan and Sara's Back In Your Head." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6USzF6Wyik Ryan Adams - Back In Your Head (Teagan and Sara Cover)
"To be perfectly honest... We're doing covers this week. Why? Because the music released this week has been of a decided tone, set by current events, and while my heart aches, I do not think I need to give you all more reason to cry. So we're not going to. At least, not for those reasons," Green says, as she's back on the air once more. "This is Robert DeLong cover CHVRCHES' hit, The Mother We Share." https://youtu.be/4GM3PQF7jUI?t=20s Robert DeLong - The Mother We Share (CHVRCHES cover)
"Another great cover, wherein I love both the original artist and the covering artist," says that posh British voice. "Now, let's do not a cover. In fact, let's step away from all of that, and pivot genres. This is Keep The Devil Off by Big KRIT." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrwuJEY-xoA Big K.R.I.T. - Keep The Devil Off
The song ends, and then there's a deep breath, a pause, then a heavy, breathy voice. "Now then. I'm going to play a cover that is not quite so unique. Not so different. Going to break my own rules, a bit. Why...? Because it's Steve Aoki's remix of Thriller. And I want to bloody hear it, that's why." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0RyiTp8gSA Michael Jackson - Thriller (Steve Aoki Midnight Hour Remix)
"This next song is made by the creepiest woman alive. I'm serious. She's bloody unsettling. Fortunately, perhaps, this song is not quite that. Dedicated to you know exactly who you are... this is Poppy with Software Upgrade." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzLSmY7c9dY Poppy - Software Upgrade
"I've just two songs left to play. This next one is a bad called The Big Moon. I played them last week, and I'm doing it again. Why? Well, last week, a certain individual who called to drunkenly profess their love and also scream at me said it wasn't bad. Which means bloody beautiful. In addition to that, I'll dedicated this one to my fiery black heart. From The Big Moon's acoustic album, this is Sucker." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idb6LI7if60 The Big Moon - Sucker (Acoustic)
"That's it, Fort Brunsett. Your New Music Friday, delivered with love! This has been your host, Amanda Green, and I do hope you join me next week," Green says, a smile heard keenly in her words. "And now to play us out... I had said I wouldn't get into current events. But... This is Lin-Manuel Miranda and several over Puerto Rican musicians bringing us Almost Like Praying..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=D1IBXE2G6zw Lin-Manuel Miranda - Almost Like Praying
