The song follows a man who is losing the distinction between memory, dream, and reality, and how you can often mold your memories of people to fit a narrative that benefits your ego. After some discussions with Martha [Skye Murphy] she thought it’d be a good idea that she play the part of the woman wanting to break free from the dominating story the male has set.\"\n\nCheryl selected this song as a KEXP Song of the Day in 2021: https://www.kexp.org/podcasts/song-of-the-day/2021/3/18/squid-narrator-feat-martha-skye-murphy/.\n\nhttps://squidband.uk/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3500378, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3500378/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-05-12T10:15:02-07:00", "show": 63442, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/63442/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/ac78a3f7-252f-332f-8d8f-a1f15564ce0b/36261684302-500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://coverartarchive.org/release/ac78a3f7-252f-332f-8d8f-a1f15564ce0b/36261684302-250.jpg", "song": "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor", "track_id": null, "recording_id": "f5e93176-0829-4823-a5be-3333e226824b", "artist": "Arctic Monkeys", "artist_ids": [ "ada7a83c-e3e1-40f1-93f9-3e73dbc9298a" ], "album": "Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not", "release_id": null, "release_group_id": "6c9c4985-3628-3070-b956-b538f30c9bea", "labels": [ "Domino" ], "label_ids": [ "bfe26801-a86f-49b9-8502-05ae80b02594" ], "release_date": "2006-01-23", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "\"I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor\" was the Arctic Monkeys' first single. The band had already built a following, so it was no surprise when it shot to the top of the singles chart in their native UK.\n\nThey started garnering attention in 2004 when their demo tapes circulated on various streaming services. Record companies came calling, but they rejected the big labels, signing instead with the independent Domino Records.\n\nWhen the song was released none of the band members were older than 20.\n\nThe lyrics, \"Dancing like a robot from 1984\" refer to John McClure, a friend of Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner who was known for his questionable dance moves. The robot is a breakdancing move popular in the '80s but ill advised in modern times unless you're really good. https://tinyurl.com/yn34ayjh\n\nhttps://arcticmonkeys.com/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3500376, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3500376/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-05-12T10:11:37-07:00", "show": 63442, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/63442/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://dn721905.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-2d55034d-a029-4718-b6be-81196675dba5/mbid-2d55034d-a029-4718-b6be-81196675dba5-39665192836_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://dn721905.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-2d55034d-a029-4718-b6be-81196675dba5/mbid-2d55034d-a029-4718-b6be-81196675dba5-39665192836_thumb250.jpg", "song": "Holy, Holy", "track_id": "f8e2c0dc-2126-4ae3-9b50-41fbff00d4e2", "recording_id": "a6fa55e5-5e5c-4467-ad5b-1a4469107e21", "artist": "Geordie Greep", "artist_ids": [ "6ca6f49f-41f3-49ae-8403-44d07bc6f564" ], "album": "Holy, Holy", "release_id": "2d55034d-a029-4718-b6be-81196675dba5", "release_group_id": "4c45007f-509d-46c7-b119-450ad510f45c", "labels": [ "Rough Trade" ], "label_ids": [ "2276f06e-f65a-4d61-9dee-9f95ff4b775c" ], "release_date": "2024-08-20", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Former Black Midi frontman Geordie Greep's debut single Holy, Holy is taken from latest album ‘The New Sound’.\n\nhttps://geordiegreep.com/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3500375, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3500375/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-05-12T10:06:11-07:00", "show": 63442, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/63442/?format=api", "image_uri": "https://dn721203.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-f5dd1d0d-64c6-4829-bd4d-eb51f31d6006/mbid-f5dd1d0d-64c6-4829-bd4d-eb51f31d6006-41359615610_thumb500.jpg", "thumbnail_uri": "https://dn721203.ca.archive.org/0/items/mbid-f5dd1d0d-64c6-4829-bd4d-eb51f31d6006/mbid-f5dd1d0d-64c6-4829-bd4d-eb51f31d6006-41359615610_thumb250.jpg", "song": "The Catastrophe (Good Luck with That, Man)", "track_id": "fc722cdf-dc8c-4e97-bcbc-a75dc348721a", "recording_id": "612196c1-c5d0-4a1d-b02d-f99034691f73", "artist": "Car Seat Headrest", "artist_ids": [ "0fabbc1d-8d94-4a61-bd1d-1099ad1e4559" ], "album": "The Scholars", "release_id": "f5dd1d0d-64c6-4829-bd4d-eb51f31d6006", "release_group_id": "1ffb40da-b2b5-486b-aec8-e3e685e9983e", "labels": [ "Matador" ], "label_ids": [ "229bd4be-8cd7-442c-85b0-5007ea353abc" ], "release_date": "2025-05-02", "rotation_status": "Heavy", "is_local": true, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Playing Saturday, August 30th at Seattle's Bumbershoot! https://bumbershoot.com/\n\nFrom Shakespeare to Mozart to classical opera, Car Seat Headrest’s Will Toledo pulled from the classics when devising the lyrics and story arc of The Scholars, while the music draws, carefully, from classic rock story song cycles such as The Who’s Tommy and David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust. \n\n\"One thing that can be a struggle with rock operas is that the individual songs kind of get sacrificed for the flow of the plot,\" Toledo notes. \"I didn’t want to sacrifice that to make a very fluid narrative. And so this is sort of a middle ground where each song can be a character and it’s like each one is coming out on center stage and they have their song and dance.\"\n\nWhile Car Seat Headrest started as Toledo’s solo project, the four-piece is now fully a band. \"What we’ve been doing more of in recent years is just taking the pulses of each other.\" says Toledo. \"It didn’t really feel to me like things got in sync in an inner feeling way until this record, with that internal communal energy. And it’s become that band feeling for me in a much more realized way.
