Cool Tune for a Friday… Fischerspooner’s - “Emerge”.
My choice of a cool tune for the last Friday of each month.
I have decided to post my choice of a cool tune on the last Friday of each month.
Lets face it, Friday is the best day of the week, hands down. And as Friedrich Nietzsche once said, “without music, life would be a mistake.”
Enjoy!
This month’s cool tune is “Emerge” by Fischerspooner. The video is also quite cool. “Sounds Good, Looks Good… Feels Good Too”. True. As is their logo (above) and their website.

Watch the video on YouTube.
“Fischerspooner is Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner.
Fischerspooner is an art and performance project created and helmed by Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner that makes music, dance, fashion, film and photography. Straddling genres in art and entertainment, the project is renowned for outsider pop shows bursting with stage effects presented in both art galleries and traditional concert venues. They have released two full-length albums of music: #1, a punked-up digital party record trussed with conceptual lyrics; and Odyssey, a rich emotional fantasia with a deep, expansive sound.Fischer and Spooner met at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where they collaborated on performance art pieces. Years later in New York, Warren was starting his career as a commercial director and Casey had become frustrated after a nine-year tenure with the experimental theatre company Doorika; both were looking for a new creative outlet.Eager to rekindle their collaboration, they attempted a TV pilot but became more interested in the digital soundtrack Warren had composed for the show.Between 1998 and 2000 the duo wrote a spate of cool electronic tracks to accompany an ambitious new performance idea. The music was perfectly pitched for the turn of the millennium: a pure digital statement equally informed by Spooner’s love of pop confection as by Fischer’s classical training and background in the seminal math-rock band Table. The show, a smash-up of pop extravagance undercut by experimental theatrics, was carried off with aplomb by Spooner, the flamboyant trickster front man, and driven home with Fischer’s pulsating, addictive beats. With the help of an ever-expanding network of dancers, singers, designers, and artists, the performances grew into large-scale arena-style pop spectacles staged in galleries and nightclubs.”
Lyrics:
Hi
Huh-i
Hyper
Hyper-media-ocrity
You don’t need to
Emerge from nothing
You don’t need to
Tear away
You don’t need to
Tear away
Feels good
Looks good
Sounds good
Looks good
Feels good too
Feels good too
(Uh-huh that’s right)
Feels good too
(Uh-huh that’s right)
You don’t need to
Emerge from nothing
You don’t need to
Tear away
You don’t need to
Emerge from nothing
You don’t need to
Tear away
(Uh huh that’s right)
(Uh huh that’s right)
You don’t need to
Emerge from nothing
You don’t need to
Tear away
You don’t need to
Emerge from nothing
You don’t need to
Tear away
You don’t need to
Emerge from nothing
You don’t need to
Tear away
You don’t need to
Emerge from nothing
You don’t need to
Tear away
[Modem noise]: Look alive!
You don’t need to
Emerge from nothing
You don’t need to
Tear away
