Nialler9

Episode 201 is a journey through some of the last 35 years in music through the medium of the sample, from the Amen break to famous sample-heavy albums to our own personal favourite sampled songs.We discuss how an obscure 1960s B-side became the most sampled song in history and helped birth genres like drum and bass and jungle. We explore the sample art of albums like DJ Shadow's Entroducing, Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique, J Dilla's Donuts, Girl Talk's Night Ripper and The Avalanches' Since I Left You.And then Niall and Andrea share their favourite samples including but not limited to music from Steely Dan, Super Furry Animals, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye, Burial, Kate Bush, ABBA, James Blake, Skepta and a disco Beethoven true original.The track that kicked off the idea was Rory Sweeney and Emby's 'All My Life' which samples Kendrick's 'Backseat Freestyle'.Shout out to Tracklib on Youtube for some of the audio sample beds. Songs referenced on his episode, and their samples are listed here. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We mark 200 episodes of the Nialler9 Podcast by taking some questions from readers about indie sleaze, our favourite music videos, best interviewees, albums and gigs of 2023 we're looking forward to, podcast influences, dream jobs, and favourite albums since Andrea and I started doing the podcast together, which was June 2018 in the episode Ye Season (Which I've reuploaded) - I really dropped Dre in it for episode #1. We also lost half the episode due to a recording error and the following week, we reviewed a 90-minute Drake album. It's a wonder, and a testament to Andrea's professionalism that she stuck around!Plus, there's chat about Rihanna at the Superbowl, hip-hop at Grammys and a small tribute to Trugoy of De La Soul.

Episode 199 of the Nialler9 Podcast is about scarcity and rarity.Prompted by the news of a Strokes box set of 7" singles this month, Andrea Cleary talks about the particular form and use of B-sides in the streaming era, the role of singles in the ongoing vinyl revival (2022 was the 15th straight year of vinyl sale growth), and why we love vinyl so much anyway.We read Jeremy D. Larson's howlingly good Maneskin review for Pitchfork aloud, check into the Grammys from Sunday night to find that things are as they always seem to be and Steve Albini is hating on Steely Dan and it's a hoot.Listen to the episode below or subscribe in your favourite podcast appListen on Apple | Android | ACAST | Pocketcasts | CastBox | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS FeedSupport Nialler9 on Patreon and join our Discord community Subscribe to the podcast and please leave a review on iTunes, tell your friends or commit to supporting us directly.

Added to already existing dwindling digital revenues and the toll a touring loss makes on mental health, acts are feeling the squeeze.One area where artists are looking to take the power back is on selling merchandise at live venues and festivals. A lot of medium to large venues take a 25% commission on artist merch sales by default, without providing any assistance. Some venues bring in an agency to manage merch and take the cut at source and in many venues this is a mandatory and sometimes additional cost. When it applies to support and emerging artists, it can really make the difference whether a tour makes money or not.On this episode we spoke to Canadian rapper, writer, poet and activist Rollie Pemberton aka Cadence Weapon on some of the thoughts he has shared on the live music industry.Rollie is an Edmonton-born, Toronto-based rapper and author of a new book about his life in music - Bedroom Rapper. Pemberton won the 2021 Polaris Prize - the Canadian album of the year prize - for his fifth album Parallel World.Rollie has announced a North American campaign to end the practice of venues and festivals taking a cut from the artists’ merch – in association with the Featured Artists Coalition (FAC) and the Union of Musicians and Allied Workers (UMAW) to launch of the FAC’s 100% Venues campaign called #MyMerch.The campaign has come in the wake of FAC's UK campaign where 400 venues have now signed up to pledge not to take a cut on artist's merch sales in venues. Ireland could do with a similar list.It's a practice that was largely unknown to fans, but recently has been highlighted by Dry Cleaning, Yard Act, The Big Moon lately, and even, Jack Antonoff has weighed in.Niall and Andrea talk about how merch cuts work, and their issues, before we chat to Rollie about the campaign, his experiences touring last year at a loss and a previous 360 deal he signed that exploited every stream of income he had for 12 years, and his hopes for the future.

Yeah, but venues and promoters have to opt-in, making this a very impressive invisible lasso on the secondary ticketing market in Ireland.Listen on Apple | Android | ACAST | Pocketcasts | CastBox | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS FeedPrevious podcast episodes Hosted on Acast.

The last time the Dublin artist and musician Sorcha Richardson appeared on the podcast was January 2020.Her debut album First Prize Bravery was just released on Faction and thew subsequent tour ended up getting rescheduled seven times. It wasn't all bad though, the album was very well-received, picked up a Choice Music Prize nomination for Irish album of the year and won her a whole set of new fans across Ireland, UK, Europe and North America.With second album Smiling Like An Idiot and tour dates very much nailed on and happening from this week (including her biggest hometown show at 3Olympia Theatre on Thursday October 20th, and the Limelight 2 in Belfast on Wednesday October 19th, before UK and European dates), we spoke to Sorcha about coming home from living in New York to find a new community in Dublin around music in a challenging time for artists, to conversations about Oasis with Los Angeles-based producer Alex Casnoff, the difficulties of touring, drum sounds and Bowie-esque guitar solos, all through the lens of 5 songs that inspired the second album.The songs discussed are: Cocteau Twins - Cherry Coloured Funk  LCD Soundsystem - I Can Change Dijon - Good Luck Big Thief - Masterpiece Oasis - She's Electric   You'll also hear snippets of Sorcha's songs 'Shark Eyes', 'Archie' 'Stalemate' and 'Spotlight Television'More at sorcharichardson.com/Listen to the episode below or subscribe in your favourite podcast app:Listen on Apple | Android | ACAST | Pocketcasts | CastBox | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS Feed Support Nialler9 on Patreon and join our Discord Songs played on the Nialler9 Podcast Spotify Playlist Subscribe to the podcast and please leave a review on iTunes, tell your friends or commit to supporting us directly.
