And they released an EP in early 2000 which allowed them to go on tour with The Hives and The Strokes and they ended up playing all these shows and became a name in the scene and allowed them to put out that album in 2001 which immediately caught the eye of the critics. And by 2003 they had Fever To Tell which was just the game changer and it had songs on it like Maps and Y Control and they were just their big hit singles. Maps

And you have a note up there that says something like, they lived in a flat in Manhattan, and they just came out as the white Stripes, and they're not. They're not the white Stripes, and they don't sound like the white Stripes, and they're not trying to compete with the White Stripes, except maybe for a Grammy or something, I don't know. Or MTV award. But, dude, my mistake

That was a crossover song that was going from hip hop to the pop stations and giving these opening the doorway to these female fronted bands and artists and even though they were dropping some singles, but they were also able to sell full albums. And so I think it really did open up that door. Door closed pretty fast again. But this was this was actually a really good time in the alternative music scene. Alternative and rock music scene

And actually, after I listened to it, I turned on the Goo Goo Dolls and played that album from when they did Iris for City of Angels and listened to more clean, poppy music. It was fun. Thanks, man

And I don't know, I found that the garage rock revival was kind of short lived, I think. I feel like you blink and it was gone. Because even look at Interpol, I don't think interpol is part of that, because they're clean. You're my slow hands. I think that the vocals themselves were just really clean and almost operatic. I mean, I like interpol, but I don't think it was part of that garage band

And there's an effect that they're using that. When I've produced some Lo Fi music like you would hear on The Study Girl or whatever, lo Fi Girl on YouTube, I've mixed some music for that. It's called Vinyl and it makes it sound like your whole track is coming off of a 33 rpm or 45. And that sound is really prominent on every single track
