Hello and welcome I'm Liam the music reviewer and it's time for the 1k Q&A. Hip hip, hooray.
First off just-just thank you, thank you
so much for helping me reach this milestone.
It might seem kinda arbitrary but this is
kinda cool knowing there's at least a
thousand people watching this content
who are vaguely interested and have stuck
around for as long as they have.So
yeah, I just-I really, really appreciate
it so from the bottom of my heart - thank you. Before we get into the Q&A I do want
to thank some people in particular.
Firstly I want to say thanks to the
fellow YouTube music people like David
Rowe, Mic The Snare, Buffalo Staple, Rick The Lai, The Sound Binge, Not Real Music, Noise Pond
Deep Cuts. I think-I think I've
got everyone there but yeah, they
have been a great support, they've made me feel very welcome since I kind of
joined back in 2017 so yeah I greatly
appreciate your camaraderie and just your
general loveliness. Then there's my Transistorcast comrades Jake Ethan Josh
and Andy, not only are you good for a
podcast but you're also just some great pals
and thank you for just taking
taking the piss
out of me just enough so that my ego
doesn't get too inflated and just
being generally lovely as well. And in
particular I want to thank Josh dollar
sign who made the channel art for this
channel which I have just-that I
still really love, I think you did a
great job with it and then I want to
thank my girlfriend Mairi who not only
helped with camera work for certain
videos, has just been really supportive
and lovely throughout the whole thing
and she also did the little doodle in the thumbnail today and another doodle
that I'll be bringing up later on but I'll leave that for later on. Lastly
to all those on the Discord servers I'm
involved in like deep cuts discord or
Instrumental Isomer you know who you
are and you've just been a great help so
don't think that you're not appreciated, there's just so many of you that I just
would be doing a great disservice if I only listed a few of you but with that
the way let's get into the Q+A. First up
we've got a question from Josh "Congrats
papi a well-deserved milestone for the
most lovable and hydrated music reviewer
on Earth".  Thank You Josh, thank you big shoutout to you. I might not have said you specifically
there but you were in charge and still
are in charge of many Discord servers
I'm in so yeah. Just you're paramount to me being involved but anyway your question
your question. So "my question is you found a rift in the space-time continuum. Inside
the rift you are transported to the
crazy, coffee heavy world of Twin
Peaks. You realize you can quite easily
take people across to your world but
some giant dude tells you that only three
people from Twin Peaks can join you on 
Earth. Which three characters will you take
over whether this is to benefit society as
a whole or just simply so they can be
your pals is down to you my good man. What a question, what a question. We always get like a great question on every
Friends on Film episode and on
Transistorcast whenever we bother to do an episode
of that out but Josh always comes
through with them. If. This is so good
because I'm just like a Twin Peaks nut.
Log Lady without even thinking about
it. Log lady, I would definitely have on
Earth. She's just so wise and just
soothing. I just-I would love to have her
come over to Earth. Norma as well like she
could serve me coffee and just give me
constant reassurance so that's
a no-brainer. And then I'd probably go for Dr. Jacoby
because we could start a new podcast
like Friends on Shovels or something
like that so they're my three picks, what a
great question, what a great way to get this started
Mic the Snare says "congrats again Liam"
thank you, thank you Nick. Yeah I've
already said earlier on in the video but Nick just gives me a kick up the arse with how good his
content is so if for whatever reason you've not already checked him out, go do that but
anyway he asked me the same question I
asked for his Q&A which is HBO gives you
the money to make your own music
documentary miniseries. They want outlines
for three episodes. Which three topics do you cover? Which is-if you don't mind me saying
so myself what a great question.
So the first one I would probably go for
would be like an episode on Viper the rapper who seems kind of like a
meme rapper but he's also like pretty
pivotal to how hip-hop and rap changed
in the like the late noughties with You'll
Cowards Don't Even Smoke Crack and that.
He seems like quite a Tommy Wiseau
character so I'd love to just like sit
down with him and make like a big high
budget, like, sit down and interview
with him. That would-that would definitely
be the first episode that I'd want to do. That's
the kind of thing that I'd love to do a video on at some point with the information that's
readily available. The second episode
would be about Jamba who you may not
know by name but they were the ones that
did all those ringtones during the noughties
like crazy frog and sweety chick. It
would be great to see how these
ringtones basically became like popular
music in their own right and just kinda
the controversies that came of it and how
certain characters are actually kinda
like coming back into the limelight. Like we're getting a crazy frog album coming out
soon I think that'd be quite cool to
talk about so that would definitely be
my second episode. Lastly I would need to
do something relevant to Scotland
I would just be doing a great disservice if I didn't and so I'd like
to do like a big, big episode on Cocteau Twins. Again I never know if I'm
saying that right, should probably
get that sorted out before I ever do
this HBO episode. But just they were so
pivotal to Dream Pop like just-it wouldn't
really exist without them so I'd love to
talk about them, about their impact. Talk about-
talk to Elisabeth Fraser, just see what was going through their
minds at that point. They've since broken up, I think it was like in the late
nineties they did and then it was like they were meant to
reunite and they didn't. So I think that would be kind of an interesting story in
there somewhere as well. If for anything it'll just be an excuse to talk
to one of my favorite bands so you know. I think that'd be a lot of fun so thanks
for that question Nick. Mike says "big big
congratulations on the 1k milestone
Liam mate". Thank you Mike, you're an absolute gem again. You were
part of those Discord servers, we've met in real life so I know you exist so I very much
appreciate that little congrats there so. Relative to what you've heard
from it how would you rank Sufjan's discography. I've listened to a few
Sufjan albums like Illinois and Carrie and Lowell and Michigan, Age of Adz, Seven Swans like I do know enough but I've not listened to everything that he's put out.
I really don't feel like I'm totally
comfortable enough with his material to
really rank it but do know it's on
the cards, it's one of those artists I
know that I will get around to when it comes to ranking them but I would probably say
that Age of Adz and Carrie and Lowell
are my two favourites of his at this point
in time. God knows how that's gonna shift once I've become more acquainted with them
Also why are banana milkshakes the best
thing on the McDonalds menu. Em, they're
not it. They're not bad, they're not bad but they're not even
the best milkshake though and also the
best thing on the McDonalds menu were
those little cheese like mature cheddar
bites that they've since taken off the menu. Not
a huge concern considering everything's
going on but when society returns to
normal, I want those mature cheddar bites to
return as well. Dharma815 asks
"what's your Top 5 Pixar movies?".
Okay so number 5 to number 1 here. The Incredibles
Incredibles I think that's a good pick
there. Wall-e, Wall-e will be number
four I think. It kinda gets a little
bit weaker in the second half but it's still
a good second half and the first half is
just amazing, amazing. Number three would
Toy Story 2. I love Toy Story 2. I've
watched that recently, talked about that
in the last friends on film episode. Just a huge huge soft spot in my heart.
Second pick would be Up. Everyone
always talks about how the first five
minutes are great and they definitely are but how that whole movie talks about
idol worship and just...just the...just the
emotions that it evokes throughout just
it's a really beautiful film so that
would be my second pick but number one
gotta be Ratatouille. Obviously the film
that has a critic in it it but it just is
such a stunning movie. It's just-it's one
of those kind of films that really did
kind of show me that animated movies, just even calling them animated movies like
they are movies in their own right. Doesn't matter if it's real-life or if they're
animate or whatever they are just as
important and I'm very lucky that I got
to see that in the cinema when I was...I must have been like 10 or 11 with my
friend Louis. A little shoutout to Louis for seeing that with me but yeah Ratatouille
is probably my favorite Pixar film but I
think they've got a fair few good cuts
so sorry if I let anything out. I like Monsters
Inc, Monster Inc is one that 
I can kinda swap with The Incredibles so back and forth with those two. LowQualityPosts says
"Congrats big man well deserved and it's
only up from here". Well I know you better
as Jack. Jack, you've been a great pal you
are breaking the green screen somehow
so you can see Kirby there but anyway
you've been a great pal, love you lots
you're such a sound guy but you
say: "my question is on behalf of Logan
wanna be friends?".  I get a lot of people with the same icons
asking me to be YouTube friend,  I'm just
in very high demand, very high demand for
it. Just kidding, real question is what video of yours are you most proud of?
I'm gonna go for two because I really
can't quite choose. The Cure RANKED video
is the one that I put a lot of time into, I
feel like I just-it's one of those
videos where I feel like my voice as
a critic really came through which again...I'm trying to walk that thin line
of being modest but also not
putting myself down too much but the
Cure video I think I did a great job and
when I saw that Buffalo put it as his
like favourite YouTube video of
2019 I was just...the biggest smile on my face a because I
was already kind of proud of it on a
personal level but knowing that like
people were chuffed with it as well. Yeah I
just, I feel very confident in my
abilities that I showed, it's pretty much set the baseline for what I want from
every RANKED video and I feel like the pop
2 one that I just posted there, that
was where I kind of have almost like
another baseline for myself. Personally I
don't know how people prefer one way or
the other when it comes to. I feel like
the amount of time that I spent on it, the level of editing, the analysis like it just maybe
recency bias but I feel like in a year's
time that be the video that if
this channel was to blow-up and you
get that where channels blow up and you
have to like remove certain videos cause I
don't feel like it kinda lives up to what
people were expecting - that POP 2 video I will just be shoving down
folks throats. So yeah that's definitely
the one that along with The Cure RANKED video that I
feel dead chuffed with and just-just
really proud, really proud of so great
question Jack. So our bearded brother
Ryan is coming through here with the
important questions so firstly he asks
best album of the eighties nineties and
noughties. I'm gonna pick 3 of each decade
here because it's my Q&A and I'll do what I want. With the 80s it would be disintegration
because of course. Remain in light
because of course and Treasure
by Cocteau Twins which is just - again of course. 80s are mad good
for music and I've only just like
scratched the surface myself like um I
really need to like dive even deeper and
see what I'm missing out on there. The
90s I would go for-go
for American football self-titled debut
, such an important record to me,
Weezer's Blue Album and again another
Cocteau Twins record Heaven or Las
Vegas, they were pretty, pretty lucky
that-I mean not even lucky they're just-they
showed their strength as an artist by
putting out two-not just two great albums
but back to back decade wise putting out two of the best records
Then with the noughties. I would go for...
I'd go for Kid A because I'm quite-not
that I'm generic, it's just that it's my favourite Radiohead album so I'd go for
that. Sound of Silver, Sound of Silver and then I'd go for Vertigo of Bliss by Biffy Clyro
That's probably one of the ones from what
I've mentioned that you've maybe not
given a go but it's just an exciting album, a really huge just dense record with
great production, really great production. So they would be my choices for
those decades there. Top 3 comedy TV
shows. I'm gonna lose track here cause I've
got so many but I'd go for Bojack Horseman because on top being really funny it's
got a great story. I'll cheat and say
Golden Age Simpsons as well because
nothing will ever make me laugh as
hard as that did. Then I'm gonna
go for...I'm gonna go for Broad City
because Broad City I think is just
this stoner comedy stuff that
really did tug at my heartstrings in
that finale but there's plenty of other
shows like It's Always Sunny, Peep
Show, The Good Place. Just honestly
could go on forever and ever- What We
Do In The Shadows as well, it's a great one, it's on its second season just
now and I think give it a season
or two it would be like my top five
comedy shows ever but yeah they would be my ones to go for
that was quite difficult actually. Lastly
who would win in a fatal four-way sword
battle: Buffalo Staple, Not Real Music, The Sound Binge or Rick The Lai. The
toughest question you've asked so far. Had to make some notes here because I do think
each of you have your own strength to
bring to the table here or to the battle
as it were. Buff with his energy, Ryan with your perseverance, Amy with the resilience
then Rick with the patience and
ultimately it's just kind of. I feel like
the result would vary whatever day you ask me but right now
I think Amy would win it. I don't know, feel she would 
pull it out the bag there but it'd be
a close battle so it would be, close battle.
It would be like watching a bunch of
smash bros pros playing melee
or something like that you'll just be
kind of in awe but at this point in time
I would say Amy wins this battle. OGNICKMARSH says "wassup" I have missed you saying
that Nick so much, you nearly always said
wassup when a video went up and that was
just like the reassurance I needed to
know that it was up, I knew what was up. 
He asked two questions, he says what is
your favorite hip-hop blog. I'm not
sure if you have heard of them but focus
hip-hop blog are pretty good, you should
give them a go if you haven't checked
them out already you know, the person
runs a mad mad grind, a mad grind going on there but second
question: what is the most disappointing album you've ever heard in your life. It
would-I know it's a bit of a beaten horse at this point but it'd be Everything Now by Arcade
Fire. Just I think it is more
disappointing-I've heard probably worse
albums I had high expectations for but I
was expecting just another great album
from Arcade Fire and the fact it was so
bad.
Again there's like the title track and
creature comfort, signs of life which are all
solid to good tracks but when it's bad
it's just really bad and it just hurt
more because they hadn't dropped a bad
album at that point.Even reflector which
I know many regarded being there like
weakest album other than Everything Now
I still think was quite good so yeah
that definitely, definitely hurt a lot
Jack Menzies, surprise surprise my brother, 
has asked a
few questions. Thanks for being quiet
when I was back home recording videos
even if I had to ask you multiple times
to be quiet. You've asked favourite
country song which is a bit of a generic
choice for me here but I'd go for Folsom
Prison Blues by Johnny Cash, just
dead catchy, just the story told on it is
just cool even if I've heard it to so many times at this point. Favorite childhood film
and I've already mentioned all those
Pixar films earlier on but I
would probably go for something like
Lilo and Stich that's the one I can
remember having the VHS tape for and
just playing
repeatedly. And then favourite overall series and
film. That's like constantly shifting for
me but at this point in time in May
2020, I would go for Mr Robot for my favourite 
TV show of all time then it's my favorite movie. I watched the
Before Trilogy quite recently, my
favourite-they're just the best
trilogy of all time and Before Sunset
was probably my favourite though it is close
between before sunrise and before sunset
for me as being my favorite film of all
time. What do you see yourself prioritizing for
the channel moving forward, open-ended on purpose. I love the icon by the way. I'm
just gonna quickly kind of summarize
what I want to do for the channel in 2020
More content, the same quality. Two ranked videos this year, I want to kind
of aim for having three or four RANK
videos per year and I'll be doing a
stream every month, the last Saturday of
each month so that's Saturday upcoming
9 p.m. I'll be playing Hitman 2, come and join me. That'll be something
I'll be doing more often, just so I can talk to you guys in a more
casual basis. More roundups as well at
least once every two months as opposed to one
big one. More interviews as well I
think would be cool. So if I can get
them I'll try and provide them for you
guys. And other than that I will be
doing a Patreon from now on. It's not gonna be anything too exclusive
or too pricy, really right now all I feel
comfortable asking for is one pound per
month which I think is like a dollar and 20 cents in America last time
I checked but that would be to
support me and also get access to all my
content 24 hours beforehand. Maybe
down the line I'll add more tiers but
right now all I feel comfortable asking
for is one pound and if you can't even
give one pound per month, I'm not going to judge you at all, hard times and
what not but if you can do so I'll leave
the link down in description below.
You can feel free to do that if you want
to be that's basically what I want to do
for the rest of 2020 and we'll
see how that goes. The
Sound Binge says congrats my boy! We don't respect monarchy in this house but when it
comes to the Queen, Amy
thank you. Was there any defining
point you started getting heavily
invested into music and if so what
sparked that out of you and do you have
any fond memories of the first few
albums that ever hit you in that special way?
That was a superb question, I think like many
people that review music or are invested in music To Pimp A Butterfly was definitely one of
them but it was 2013 when I started
this whole reviewing thing where I
felt like I was taking it more seriously
so albums like Modern Vampires Of 
The City, Pure Heroine, Yeezus, Random
Access Memories and Old by Danny Brown
as well. Just there's a lot of albums from
2013 that even Yeezus I know Yeezus gets a
bad rap by some folk and sometimes a
bit too much of a positive rap as well. I
think it's still a good album all in all. But those were albums that still have an
impact on me just because of how pivotal they were to me analyzing music in
the written form. Then there are albums from like when I was
younger from my adolescence from my
childhood that still mean a lot to me like
Demon Days and blink-182 self-titled
record and I think like I had taste back
there. Some other stuff that hasn't aged too well and but definitely demon
days and blink 182 self titled record I
think really still stand the test of
time. I've already answered the favorite
video one but if you had to guess what
album do you think you've played the most
in your life. I would-I would really love
to see what I listened to when I was
younger so much if I had last.fm. I had it
when I was on 360 but I don't know what account it was or if I
even used it right. I'm sure Iridescence would be high on there. Emotion, POP2
Melodrama. Those ones are to be expected because I know
objectively that they're my most listened to. But I'd imagine like every
Biffy Clyro album, Kid A. I'm
sure Mouth Moods as well they would all
be listened to like they'd be very high
up on there.Probably Bonito
Generation as well.
Flower Boy...yeah...I don't know. I feel like those would be the big
ones. There's probably some other ones I'm just
kind of missing out on here. If I was to guess one more would say Yung Lean's
Unknown Death 2002. That would be a big one, I listened to that like
obsessively from like whatever year it
dropped to 2016 were like the big
periods of me listening to that. And the
last question from Amy here is if you
feel comfortable / want to talk about
them, I'd love to hear about your tattoos
anything you want to tell us, what they mean to you, the experience of getting them.
Also a great question. I'm going to try
and show off this one I've got here, you
can kind of see I'll put up a better picture of it on screen
just now. But that's only tattoo I've
got at the moment I was meant to get  another one
back in April but obviously the whole
COVID situation it didn't happen.
I'm going to keep that under wraps
just now because it's something that
there's like..I feel like it's something
that I'd want to make a video
about as a whole in terms of like what
the band and the song in question or the
album in question means to me but we'll get to that at another point aim. But that one I
just showed you there's from Twin Peaks
and I was really obsessed with that show
back in 2017 because my girlfriend Mairi
showed me it. The meanwhile
pose...there's a lot of
interpretation, again anything to do with
David Lynch like there's never like a
clear-cut thing like when people ask "oh
what does that mean"  he goes I'm not
gonna tell you so I knew that I
was never gonna get a clear-cut answer
but a lot of people say it's related to a
Buddhist mantra of "do not fear", to show that it's not the doppelganger
which I found really cool and really
reassuring so that was kind of the thing
that other than the fact that it's a
cool pose and it's kind of like one of
the iconic, one of the most iconic scenes from Twin Peaks I
kind of just thoughts it's a nice little
layer that makes it more meaningful to
me. In terms of getting it, I felt
super, super faint beforehand because
it's just I don't know. I bruise like a
peach, I fall like a sack of potatoes kinda.
I'm just. I'm a very
sensitive boy but I managed to get through it
pretty decently like the pain on my forearm
I guess it's kind of the forearm. On my arm
anyway, was just kinda like when I
cat like gets all set on you
and kneading on your leg it's kind of like that kinda pain. Kinda hurts
a little bit but you get kinda used to
it. And the other one I'm hoping the get is
gonna be kind of further up on my arm so
hopefully the pain threshold isn't gonna
be tested too much. Harry says congrats
on hitting 1k boss. Thank You Harry you
absolute king and his question is what's
your top five A24 films and
why is number one Ghostbusters 2? Which
is just a transistor cast inside joke
but if you wanna know the context go
watch the last episode. But my top 5
would be number 5 Hereditary 4 would
be the lighthouse. Good time would be my
third, Uncut Gems would be number 2 which is kind of close for the top two here but
ultimately I think moonlight would be just my favourite one they've put out
just personally it means a lot, it means a lot. But A24 do be 
coming out with a good in terms of what
they decide to distribute so...
there's kind of other ones I had to leave
out here like The Witch and
eighth grade, just there's a quite a few
goodies in there. Midsommar as well.
They're my top five just here. Andy Philips says congrats Liam first
big milestone accomplished. Thank you, thank you Andy. If you're a fan of 
channels like Gus Johnson and Drew
Gooden then definitely give Andy a shot.
He kind of like looks at old childhood
movies and other nostalgic things in a 
very kind of comedic lens. I think he
makes some great stuff so go give him
a go, he's a nice chill dude. He asked how long have you lived in
Scotland and would you ever move
anywhere else. I've always lived in
Scotland. Scottish, Scottish boy through
and through. I originally lived in a
area of Scotland called Ayrshire which
not much happens there. I've got a soft
spot for it so but not much happens there.
Up near Glasgow now where I've
always wanted to be. I can't imagine
living anywhere other than like
around Glasgow. Obviously traveling wise
there's so many places like I'm five
foot eight and I've got a list of places
that I'd want to go to that would be like
taller than me. I guess it doesn't
really make much sense that comparison
because 5ft 8 isn't that big but never mind. Yeah,  there's a lot places I want to
travel to but in terms of where I'd want to live, it's always gonna be Scotland to
some degree but mainly around about Glasgow. Lily asks who's your favorite animal
crossing character. Thank You Lily
thank you, I was hoping-I was hoping
somebody would ask me that about animal crossing. So I've not got a top five but...
Bones is probably my favourite, I feel
like if I could just have one villager
on my island I would always want it to be
Bones he's just so friendly and
optimistic and quirky. He just comes out with such class wee lines.
One time when I was talking to him he
was just saying how he'd like tricked
himself a bit like with time travel or
something like that it was...it was some
like gobbledygook like that and I just...
it's always a good time talking to him. Aurora
and Shep I always go out of my way to talk to them and Goldie and quite recently Bob moved to
my Island so. I think they would be
like my top five if you had to make me
choose. Cameron says hey Liam you da
man. Cam you da man, we need to get coffee when this is all
over. Have a big old chat. Your
question is what is your favourite high
concept movie? Mine is Cube. If
you're not familiar with what a high concept
movie is I wasn't until recently it's
basically like a "what if" plot so like
snakes on a plane - what if there were
snakes on a plane. Inception - what if you
were well, if you could go into people's
dreams like kind of like that thing.
So I noted down a few of my favorites, some of them are quite obvious ones if
you are really familiar with high concept films but I still think
they're all pretty greats ones nonetheless so Eternal Sunshine of the spotless
mind, Memento, Arrival. The
lobster which I think the lobster
probably has my favorite high
concept of like oh you need to get into
a relationship or else you turn into an animal of your choice which is just...what a strange movie. and It
Follows as well. I think they're all great, great wee picks there so hopefully you're a
fan of them Cameron. Buffalo Staple, the man, the King
says Liam, kiss me. Also asks a few questions so if POP 2 is
so good how come there isn't a POP 2 2, been pondering this a lot lately for some
odd reason and feel your insight could be very helpful.
I mean quite honestly the more I
think about it the more compelled I am
just say that pop 2 isn't a good album
because if it was there would be a pop
2 2  so I think pop 2 is actually one
of the worst albums of all time now.
Do you have any particular interest in
becoming YouTube friends? Eh sorry but my
mum always told me never become friends
with strangers that you meet in YouTube
comments sections. She told me that even before YouTube was a thing somehow.
What's the best first listen you've ever
had with an album? I'm just off the top
of my head, I can kinda go with saying big-fish theory, I was just kind of taken aback by
that record. Just I was infatuated
with it and after that first listen
it like- literally as soon as it was finished
I was like I'm listening to this again
there was nothing that sounded like that
and I still think that
excitement is still very much there
when it comes to it. Who would win in a fight
between a grilled cheese sandwich and a
taco. While a grilled cheese sandwich
is better, if we're talking about an actual fight, if they were in a fight then a taco with its hard shell it would just pierce the grilled cheese
sandwich, it would just leak out all of its
like cheesy gooeyness and that would
be it. It would be dead. So aye, sadly the grilled cheese would lose in that one. And then your fifth
question here - what song should I listen to right now. I think you
should listen to Yusuki's Witness
by Vale Smith. There's that little
swelling strings sample at the end
which is just beautiful and stunning
but you could also listen to that make a cup of coffee for your head song
from Tik Tok that is definitely
not one of the worst things I've heard
this year so you can choose, you can
choose there. Final two questions
here - what's 26 + 40?
We Live On Fascination by Alpha Beat.
And seven - who?
....yes. Daniel Joubert says here's to 1k subs sir clean n fresh. Congrats! We're
rootin for you. Thank You Daniel my man
that's so nice. Anyway my
question, several in one is what's your top favourite band, solo artist or piece of music - 
music album song whatever - if you had to
pick one per category, the depth of
reasoning is up to you or not necessary if
you want. Much love. Thank you again
that's a really good question there and I'm
going to treat this as like a desert
island disks so I have one band, one
artist and one piece of music whether
that's a whole album or song, whatever. So band wise I'll go for the Cure
because they've got like a lot of variety
and a lot of like-they've not really got
any misses bar the last two albums that
they put out so the Cure be the easy one
there for band. Solo artist would be Danny
Brown because he's got the bangers but
also I feel I could just analyze his worked forever so that would be an
easy choice and then in terms of like a piece of work like just a song. If I go
for one song, it would be run away with me
because my life would just be just
emptier, it would be emptier without that song so I would have to go for that. Scott says
well done Liam. Thank you Scott. If you
had to switch places with one of these
famous Wills for a day, who would it be
both: Will Toledo, Will Smith or Will Arnett? I
know I would have like the musical talent if I was either of the first two and and it's
just really cool I guess Will Smith
would just be really cool to be but
just the fact if I was Will Arnett I
feel like he would just get up to some
interesting stuff and also like whenever
you talk it would just be like BoJack was
narrating your life so that-that just is
too tempting for me. It's too tempting so
I would need to go for Will Arnett. That was-that that was a very weird but
good question there. Patrick P Gibson
has two questions here.
Who would you say are the most overrated
over hated, underrated and underhated
artists so I'm just gonna. I'm gonna
quickly work through these so overrated
I don't usually like saingy that. In terms of  like an artist everyone seems
to love that I just don't really get it would
be Swans they've got one album I like
and the other ones I've heard are just kind of, a bit up their own arse is what I would say.
Just go on for far too long and just aren't
interesting enough for me. Overhated
I think Linkin Park. Still to this day just get a a lot of spite
despite the fact that Meteora and
Hybrid Theory are still two good to
great albums and there were still some bops afterwards. I feel they're
unfairly overhated. Underrated would
probably go for the hotelier because
they don't get brought up enough in
best albums of 2010 discussions. So
while people that love them, love them, I
still think not enough people were
getting on that hype. Underhated I don't really know which one to say here. I'm gonna say
Catfish just because I feel like...even then I feel like people don't like
them are already very much on my side here like even people my immediate circle
like no one really likes catfish so I don't feel like they don't...It's not like I think they have to hated more I just think that they are just so
banal and frustrating, it really does get to
me. Maybe Gerry cinnamon though because
it feels like he's huge in Scotland and
other kind of...the UK as a whole
pretty much but Americans don't seem
to know that he's just an endlessly
frustrating character as well and but
yeah, they're kinda all my ones there.
And then you had a second question which
is also how do you think my prediction
about everyone not staying hydrated during
festival season and you getting to 1 million
subs from you're predicting 2020 video holds up now? Yeah I don't
think we quite expected all festivals to be
cancelled but there's still time for me
to hit a million subs so hopefully the
universal will balance and be restored
and instead of having festivals I still get
the 1 million subs. Let's...let's keep our
fingers crossed there. Pedro top 3 AC
songs? The people need to know. I
think you meant AC as in Animal Collective
collective and but I'm gonna assume you
also meant Animal Crossing songs so top 3 Animal Crossing songs: Mr Resetti's theme
Roost Cafe and the City Folk title screen
are my top 3 animal crossings songs. You get to
curate one stage at any festival of your
choice, what's your dream festival, stage, 
running order? Really good question, I just love kind of theorizing
about things or like making up situations in my head so when it comes to that
I would just love to like attend like
Square Garden in person. Like
having Charli XCX headline and having
people like 100 Gecs, Kero Kero Bonito
SOPHIE,  FROMTHEHEART, Hannah Diamond. Just a lot of cool
acts like that. I think I would
just...I would just not...it'd be
impossible for me to not have a good
time. It would just be great so that
would definitely be my one so great
question there. Heebs, familiar face
In your opinion which artist has the worst
fandom? So easily I would go for like 6ix9ine
or XXX because they're like terrible
people and for somebody to still be
a stan or like a really strong fan
of them: it kind of reflects on their
character I would say. I really don't like the future fandom though like
they kind of see misogyny as a meme
and like-I would like to think a lot of
them are just teenagers who are just dead immature and they'll reflect
on it a few years time and be like "Oh
what were  we even thinking" but like Future
himself is like kind of picking up on it
and playing along with it which I just
think is really just...at a certain point you
kinda have to think to yourself like do
you not get it or do you get it and this
is like not a meme to you. So his fandom
at the very least there's probably
fandoms people would be like BTS!
BTS has a horrible fandom and it's like but
at least when they are trying to show
off their fan cams or whatever, it's to
like big up the artist or to big up the
music whereas I feel like whenever it comes to Future it's just when they're
being annoying it's because they're
usually being sexist so a three-way
tie between xxx, future and 6ix9ine for worst fandoms. Klink asks two
questions, they used my little community
feature
which I can use from now on so I'll be
definitely abusing that. The first one
was who are your favorite house and techno artists. I would just simply go for Daft
Punk, Aphex Twin and Justice. I really
need to check out more in that sort of
field. There's artists that I really like who
incorporate house and techno like Sophie
but there's no like pure house or techno acts that I could like
list off endlessly. Have you heard of 100
Gecs and if so, what are your thoughts?
Yeah I just mentioned them a bit earlier
on but obviously you don't know that
because you're not in the room just now but I really like them, I think
they're wonderful, I think they're
exciting, I think they're just a really
promising act. I'm looking forward to
that remix album that they're putting out
and I put them quite high on my 2019
album of the year list so if you didn't
watch that go watch that and see where
they land. Yeah I'm definitely a
Gecster, a Gec...I don't know what the
fandoms called but I'm definitely whatever
that is. So I only got one question on
curious cat and it's this one that says when it says
congrats on 1K! Thank you. Who are your YouTube influences?
So other than again like the YouTube
music reviewing circle who all like
really like just inspire me in subtle and significant ways. I think that
the big ones outside of that would be Hbomberguy. I think I mentioned that in
the last time that I got asked this in my
500 subscriber special. He just is so
entertaining and just knows his stuff. Can just make these big hour long videos
and just my attention never-never fades away. Nitro Rad is another
big one, quite-yeah I just think
that even though he focuses on video
games primarily, I love what he does. I kind of want to achieve-not by
copying but just kind of like making sure
that the end result is like
very interesting, knowing the right mix of comedy and analysis. Just-just
having like a... just like...like really just
good aesthetic, it's something that I
want to more focus just as
this channel grows so he's another big
one and then Scott The Woz obviously
again. These are all gaming ones
but I do feel like you have to have a mix of influences
to kind of like really learn and grow. I really like game makers tool kit as
well in terms of the kind of video
essay elements and Sarah Z again some
body else who really knows-knows their
stuff. Jack Saint as well is somebody
that I like for their whole dry wit, dry British wit and again the topics that
they cover really interests me so I
think...I think there's just a big pot of
influences there. Callum Summers says
congrats bro. Thank you! Asking the
most important question now. Before
the controversy what was your favorite
spoons in Glasgow? Yeah before this whole debacle
went on, I won't be returning to a spoons again but Crystal Palace / Crystal
Phallus down near Central Station was
my favorite. Just was all really roomy
and it was right next to Central Station
so that if you got tipsy you could just kind
of just - you didn't have to wander too far. There's a good few bars near Central
Station I know that I can go to instead
like Old Hairdressers or Drury Street so
yeah that's the sombre-the sombre
answer there. Pipjr says congrats
liam well-deserved. Thank you! What in your ears / eyes makes for good music
production / mixing - I'm just mixing all
this up just now - is it the feel, clarity
or mix of many different things? Really good question, really good question, not
really something I've though about too
much in terms of like what I'm always
expecting just because I-just always
want to have the best of whatever the artist
is aiming for but I definitely gravitate
towards daring production choices like
experimental stuff but I also do like
a little clarity to my music. I like it to
be very-if-if it can be-if t'sbetween being
lo-fi and smooth...I don't know...I like
having a middle ground of it being kind
of rough but still very detailed. I
guess it comes down to the whole thing
of what do you prefer the original Twin
Fantasy or the one they remade in 2018? For me it would be the one
they remade in 2018. I suppose I
just like my music to be...I guess..
mixed-it's always weird to be mixed well because you get albums like
some rap songs that are mixed dead oddly 
and that's part of the whole charm but as like a
...to define what a Liam core album is for me it's usually
something that's eccentric, over-the-top
and isn't really ashamed to channel
its true self if that true self is like
a very eccentric character. So yeah
over-the-top eccentric is what I'm
usually looking for but if it can be
detailed I would rather it be detailed than to
be not detailed so I hope that answers
the question somewhat. Mairi says
congrats you're amazing and deserve this
more than anyone. Thank you Mairi but I
already have a girlfriend called Mairi so
just give me a bit of space here. What gig do you wish you could relive and
why. There's two I've got for this
and the first one would be Carly Rae
Jepsen's Primavera set which is-Mairi was
there so she already knows that but for
anyone that wasn't there - so exciting and
fun I had a big inflatable sword
it was just-I would love to go through all that all over again especially with some more of these
dedicated b-sides that have came out. And then Biffy Clyro's Vertigo of Bliss and Only
Revolutions night was great, I was sweaty, it was like 23 songs long, it was just
it was so good I would love for them to
do that all over again like have 
three nights in a row of those albums...and yeah just both incredibly fun gigs that were 
great for different reasons but overall
were still just amazing for me. And the
last question for today from 95 Mr
Rob is if you could choose one band
to reform, who would it be? I know I could like choose like any sort of band like I
could go for Cocteau Twins to be fair, like if I could like remove all that tension
in that band but if I'm being honest, it would be Modern Baseball.  They're on like an indefinite hiatus so they've not really broken up so it wouldn't
really be a reform but like it's still
the same for me like an indefinite hiatus
and being broken up like I'm still
missing that music. So I would choose
Modern Baseball and hopefully it won't be
too long to get an announcement but
at least the music that we've got from
them is still great that I'm not gonna be
...I won't need to struggle too
much, I can still depend on that music
but that's the end of the 1k Q&A. That was a lot of fun, thank you to
everyone that asked questions and it
hopefully won't be too long until the next
Q&A at 10k. I think that's when you
usually have to do it yeah um the next
one will be at 10 but if you wanna
support me on patreon, go ahead. If
you are free on Saturday night, 9pm
GMT or BST I need to figure out what
the time in but yeah 9PM BST. Catch me on the stream for Hitman 2.
I'll be on for a few hours, we can talk
about whatever if you didn't get to ask a
question on this we can do that, you can watch me kill bad guys and that'll be fun. 
But anyway, anyway thank you for watching, thank you again for helping me hit this
great milestone and as always, stay safe
and stay hydrated.
