OH MY GODD when they mentioned time cube... i didnt expect time cube to be mentioned in an anthony fantano interview. reading time cube was so insane and a peek into someone with a truly... incomprehensible and unconventional outlook on life. i love the weird internet page rabbithole concept their website has and using time cube as inspiration is so perfect. the website is very early 2000s html aesthetic, which im absolutely a fan of. i fucking loveee the artistic direction of this new album and the website.
I think it does qualify simply because of how admirable it was to watch Magdalena Bay just sit there and take it, 12 mins in and I was certain they were finally gonna end the call but they really sat this one out and it's that persistence ultimately that got them to the heights of pop music performance.
Magdalena Bay is definitely my most listened to artist of the last two years. First interview I've listened to from The Needle Drop and really appreciate you doing this.
OMG YES! I've been listening to Mercurial World for the past few days, and I'm so glad Anthony decided to interview them. This band is gonna blow up and go big. I know it.
I truly want them to have all the success in the world! The new album is incredible, but they have so much potential to really do massive things beyond it and I cannot WAIT.
It‘s so funny to see Anthony ask questions like „Do you plan on becoming cult leaders?“ with such a straight face. The interview was really interesting and it shows that the Melon engages with the music and its themes very deeply. That pee question was just hilariously leading ☺️
DUDE IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS INTERVIEW, I just discovered them like 2 months ago and I’m obsessed with how experienced and pRO THE SOUND! As if they were already Grammy winners and shit! (Sheesh I wish, they do rlly deserve it)
I love how they do streams weekly and do dives into old geocities pages n stuff, if you missed out on that era of the internet it’s an insight into their vibe for sure
I love checking out new music and bands and artists.... And most of the time it's like yeah...this is cool, it's good, I like it, but....moving on. With THIS album....I was like, Oh....this is literally going to be my favorite album for the next few months. It was that immediately obviously excellent. They are definitely in my top 10 artists I'm interested in right now....
Latina/o is just a term to create separation by the elites. Just look at the comment below you, she's from Argentina. She's a watered down white girl. Correct term would be mixed race. They don't want you to use that as they lose power when you do
I must be in a weird mood. Both of them seemed pretty cool n cute so I looked them up. I'm about the same age as them but they just seem so lively, confident, and much more content and happy with their lives. Making cool art and having fun. I feel like I'm just wasting my life away in comparison :(
Creating something can be a nice morale boost, but we're all suffering in our own ways. Struggle is relative. Don't undermine what you're going through. Your struggle is your own reality. There is no truly right way to live, so find what makes you happy. If you have a short-term goal in mind, polish the idea into a plan and chip away at it at a pace that doesn't drive you mad. Also, don't forget to stop and look at all you've accomplished so far. Their is no end to forward progress, so if you never stop to appreciate your growth, you're not reaping the rewards of your past effort. Stay hydrated and love yourself. You are both blessed and cursed with sentience and nobody can tell you how you are supposed to spend your time here. It sounds like you want better for yourself. That's a great thing and that wanting can guide you to get more. Good luck, fellow space-dust ape.
Given the right opportunities and conditions, we have the ability to change :) don’t worry so much about the time you feel like you wasted and just focus on doing something positive right now - I feel very similar to u but i do deep down have this seed of faith that we can do this !!! Alright let’s get this shit let’s get this shit let’s get this shit let’s hm!
Weirdly this is my first time ever seeing THEM as humans....talking. And I immediately like them a lot. These are my kind of humans. I've been a fan of Mercurial World since it came out...and then they released their EP just a few weeks ago...and I adore it. Finding out who they are as people is a breath of fresh air....turns out they're two kids obsessed with sound and aesthetics and culture and ideas and almost a post-vaporwave(are we gonna start saying that now lol?) vibe about how they process music and creativity. And I seriously love it. Whatever they do next is gonna be on my calendar...along with George Clanton's upcoming new album. I love how vaporwave has kinda engendered this punk sensibility into modern DIY music...and the cream is finally rising to the top. Magdalena Bay is definitely a big part of that.
Fantano the type of guy to interview many great music artists on a regular basis for the pleasure of the public. ☺️👍🏼 He’s also the type of guy to get fully naked to take a dump.
Idk why chat's blurred but if that's intentional can you at least fully blur instead of teasing and edging us with this barely not impossible to read painful ass bs
hello future Imaginal Disk enjoyers
Hello!!!!
masterpiece
heyy
what's gucci

“We’re just happy people are talking about it”?!?!?! DO THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT A LANDMARK PROJECT THIS ALBUM IS?
man this album is so fire
its (your fire)
lalala la la
this album’s even firerer
Them talking about feeling more comfortable with pop production so they can get weirder has aged AMAZINGLY with Imaginal Disk
This makes me so happy! I just discovered Magdalena bay a few days ago and am in love with the new album ♥️
I just discovered them today 🥹
Easily the best pop album of the year!

Pretty wild how the deeper you read the more racist and antisemitic it got. I wasn't expecting that at all.
10/10 album, best new group in music
Getting them on a call and repeatedly screaming "Magdalena gay" for 40 minutes doesn't count as an interview, Anthony.
Had a drunk guy shout out why we were lining up for Fagdelena Bay before the Sydney show, truely iconic
Yeah it was a tad bit disrespectful

Neon is still one of my favorite pop songs of the last decade. It feels like a dream. 💓
Crazy how that was their first song fr ❤
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST POP ALBUMS OF THE CENTURY
Imaginal disk is a bit better

Holy shit. This just confirms the trend I was on a year and a half ago with MB singles was ahead of the hype 🔥
Good. Make a UA-cam channel
"Nothing Baby," by Magdalena Bay was my number 1 most listened to song for 2019 on Spotify. That song rocks my world!
MAG BAY YESSSSS ALBUM OF THE YEAR
yes!!
Fantano, I wanted to sleep. Alright, I'll watch this to know how they made this amazing album.
Fantano had that Beatles rant waiting in the chamber
Middle aged man from Europ reporting, love your music 🤣😍
I’m so happy I found them because their music gives me sooooo much life.
Yes i’m so happy they’re getting more recognition
I love them so much omg thanks for giving us the aoty 😭

Omfg!!!!!!!!! I’m so stoked for Mag bay!!!
THEY ARE SO TALENTED I LOVE THIS ALBUM
Yooo! No way melon you finally interviewed Billie eilish and finneas 🤭
LMAO!!! I actually laughed out loud there 😂😂 Thank you, I needed that.
I Agree that the Hudson Bay is better, but props to you for having the balls to say that to their faces!
My favorite album of 2021
Her speaking voice is not what I was expecting.
Album goes hard
the last three tracks on this album, are absolute fire
Saw them live last night in Atlanta with George Clanton, they killed it. Such a good show I really enjoyed it, instant fan!
I was there! Killer show. Vitesse blew me away too.
Agreed!!
Suuuuuuuuuch a good show, awesome crowd too 😊
They were incredible opening for George Clanton!
Follow the Leader is a jam-and-a-half.
So good
