MATTHEW WHIPPLE: Yes, a lot of Spiritualized. There’s a lot of stuff that I think sounds Beatles-y or like Fleetwood Mac.
JOSEPH D’AGOSTINO: Totally.
MATTHEW WHIPPLE: Sort of 70′s classic pop sounds.
JOSEPH D’AGOSTINO: That’s sort of becoming a thing now isn’t it? Like “the Fleetwood Mac” thing.
MATTHEW WHIPPLE: I don’t know, is it? Fleetwood Mac is very now….to be able to say, “yeah, Fleetwood Mac is cool.”
JOSEPH D’AGOSTINO: I mean….they are a cool band.
There’s nothing wrong with that. I’m supposed to interview Stevie Nicks in a few days. I have a lifelong obsession with Fleetwood Mac, so I’m glad it comes up so much now.
MATTHEW WHIPPLE: No way. Stevie? Really? There’s a YouTube video I’ve been obsessing over of her singing backstage….
JOSEPH D’AGOSTINO: In the mirror?
MATTHEW WHIPPLE: Kind of….it’s her singing one of her solo singles like backstage with people standing around her. It’s amazing. She does this amazing performance of the song just accappella in the dressing room while people put her makeup on.
