Yes, it is.

It's a very cool celebration to have every year.

And it's the fact that it's purely based on, you know, creativity and your industry peers rather than any kind of commercial, you know, sort of measure, I guess, is pretty cool.

It's not out.

No, it comes out in August, 7th of August.

Look, there's quite a few songs that have come out from it already, Mike.

It's just kind of the way that people are releasing these days, I think, with the way that Spotify and the streaming side of things works is that you just sort of start teasing them out, I suppose.

And yeah, that's the way that we've done it for this record.

Have you got headphones on?

Yes, I do.

Yep, great.

Kind of.

It sort of sounds like every famous song and kind of every Rolling Stones song rolled into one, doesn't it?

Oh my God.

Is that plagiarism?

Oh, look, it's such a slippery slope, isn't it?

I think everyone is, we're all just, you know, everyone's a product of their influences, and you're just kind of gathering all the sounds and bits as you go, and then you spit them out in your own way.

Well, if you're a human, that is.

I mean, the whole AI thing, that's next level.

I thought you were going to tell me that that first song was actually an AI rip.
