00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,960
From the studios of w m n
H ninety five point three FM in downtown

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,599
Manchester, New Hampshire. You are
tuned in to the best of Matt Connerton

3
00:00:09,839 --> 00:00:52,200
unleashed. My friends, I'm not
given them the wild and supported statements,

4
00:00:54,159 --> 00:01:00,479
and I tell you that we must
evacuate this planet immediately. Jello aasionable.

5
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:11,719
Once there was a civilization much like
ours, but with a greater intelligence,

6
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:53,560
greater powers, and a greater capacity
for good. In one tragic moment,

7
00:01:55,239 --> 00:02:07,560
that world was destroyed, But there
was one survivor. Oh let me do

8
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:19,319
all get up? Because of the
wisdom and compassion of Joel, because he

9
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:23,319
knew the human race had the capacity
for goodness, he set us his only

10
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:36,159
son. His name is Khalil.
He will call himself Clark Kent, but

11
00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:45,199
the world will know him as Superman. This year, Superman brings you the

12
00:02:45,240 --> 00:03:02,199
Gift of Flight. Superman the movie
superheroes have been a popular culture phenomenon since

13
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:10,479
the early thirties, from radio shows, weekly serials at local movie houses to

14
00:03:10,479 --> 00:03:19,439
today, whereupon release the latest film
from the Marvel Cinematic Universe dominates the box

15
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:25,840
office. Comic books have translated from
page to celluloid very well, but there

16
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,919
was a time when this was not
the case. That was until the original

17
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:38,039
Superhero made his big screen debut,
and it showed that comic book films can

18
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:46,840
be blockbusters. It also made us
believe a man could fly. Directed by

19
00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:53,159
Richard Donner and released in nineteen seventy
eight, Superman the Movie stars Christopher Reeve

20
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:59,680
in his career defining role as Clark
Kent slash Superman, who, shortly after

21
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:04,439
aving in Metropolis, is set to
battle. The villainis Lex Luthor, screen

22
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:10,919
legend Gene Hackman, who is set
to cause nuclear armageddon for financial gain.

23
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,120
Rounding out the ensemble cast is the
late Margo Kidder, who plays, in

24
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:23,480
my opinion, the quintessential Lois Lane
ned baby, and a powerful cameo by

25
00:04:23,639 --> 00:04:30,560
screen icon Marlon Brando who plays Superman's
father, Joraal. What is a great

26
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:35,560
superhero movie without a love interest and
a villain. This film delivers both,

27
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:42,000
and our next two clips are examples
of this. First, shortly after meeting

28
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,879
Lois and Clark encounter a mugger on
the streets of Metropolis. The role reversal

29
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,839
is quite striking here, Clark,
who shouldn't be timid, is and Lois

30
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,759
who should be timid, stands up
to the criminal and ends up chasing him

31
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:05,000
away, and then is the first
scene where we encounter Lex Luthor. What

32
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:14,160
is great about Lex Luthor in this
film and Hackman's performance is he encapsulates everything

33
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:19,800
we associate with evil and villainy into
this role. He is loud, boisterous,

34
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:27,759
ego, maniacal, callous, and
even has bumbling sidekicks. Not he's

35
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:30,399
a really nice guy. Jimmy elphins
Man, Hey, come here, come

36
00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:32,800
on, come on, come on, get in here, hurry, come

37
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,560
on, Clark, I think we
better get out of here. I think

38
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,560
we better do what he says.
Come on, come on, get in

39
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,199
here quick. Don't don't do anything, sorr coming, come on, we're

40
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:46,839
coming. Come on. Yeah,
yeah, don't point out of me,

41
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:53,000
sirry sorry, okay, okay,
all to day, just a minute thestor

42
00:05:53,399 --> 00:05:55,920
just a minute now. I realized, of course, that times are tough

43
00:05:55,959 --> 00:05:59,079
for some of these days. But
this isn't the answer. You can't solve

44
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,959
the societies problems with a gun,
you know, somebody, You're right,

45
00:06:03,639 --> 00:06:06,480
I'm gonna turn over a new leaf. Good for you, sir, that's

46
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:11,759
this bird. See, he doesn't
really want to hurt anybody right after I

47
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,600
rip up this lady's purse, of
course. Now come on, lady,

48
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:23,639
hand it over. I don't know, let's just think. Maybe you better.

49
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:44,000
Well what are you doing, Carr
Clark? Are you all right?

50
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:51,639
Clark? What happened? I guess
I must have fainted? He's fainting?

51
00:06:53,120 --> 00:07:10,160
Sorry? Wow? Well? Really, lois supposing that man has shot you?

52
00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:12,800
And is it worth risking your life
over ten dollars to credit cards?

53
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,040
I hary brushing a lipstick? How
do you know that? Go? What?

54
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:26,600
You just describe the exact contents of
my first m hm um wild guess

55
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:49,759
docs And now introducing lax Luther sick. Thank you're really sick? Sickness test

56
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,879
marker sick? What on your days? Mexicaning the crime of the century?

57
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,639
No, no, no, no, no, step away from that place.

58
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:01,720
How do you choose to con grab
the greatest criminal mind of our time?

59
00:08:01,079 --> 00:08:05,279
Huh? You tell me that I'm
brilliant? Oh no, no,

60
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:11,079
no, that would be too obvious. I grant you charismatic, fiendishly gifted,

61
00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:20,279
try twitted? Get away, get
away, get away, joy.

62
00:08:22,839 --> 00:08:26,319
Tell me something right? Why does
so many people have to die for the

63
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,240
crime of the century. Why you
ask, why why does the phone always

64
00:08:31,319 --> 00:08:37,279
ring when you're in the bathroom?
Why it's the most brilliantly diabolical leader of

65
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,399
our time, surrounding himself for total
incomes. I whacked, mister Luthor.

66
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:52,360
Yes, I was just talking about
you. You're followed again. It's one

67
00:08:52,440 --> 00:09:00,720
of those cat like reflexes, mister
Luthor, missus luthor. I'm sorry,

68
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,679
Oh, this is that the newspaper
I ask you to give me. Yeah,

69
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:13,039
why am I not reading it?
Because I hadn't given it to you

70
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:22,759
yet? Right last, it's official. Thanks to the generous help of the

71
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,960
United States government, we are about
to be involved in the greatest real estate

72
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:31,759
swindle of all time. Let's what
is this obsession with real estate all the

73
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,240
time? Land? Land Land?
Its Desparker. When I was six years

74
00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:39,679
old, my father said to me
get out before that. He said,

75
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:46,240
some stocks may rise and fall,
utilities and transportation systems may collapse. People

76
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,600
are no damn good, but they
will always need land, and they'll pay

77
00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:54,639
through the nose to get it.
Where this film excels is it brightens the

78
00:09:54,879 --> 00:10:01,679
Superman comics to life in a way. The Batman film from nineteen sixty eight

79
00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:07,159
did, but it does not do
it in the over the top campy way

80
00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:11,720
that the Adam West led film did. It has a quote unquote dad joke

81
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:18,039
esque one liners and quips that we
expect out of the Man of Steel.

82
00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:22,879
Our next clip is an example of
this. We will hear Superman with his

83
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:31,720
witty comebacks capture criminals, and much
like the early comics, at the end,

84
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:37,200
we will hear from the dumbfounded police
at what they have seen from the

85
00:10:37,360 --> 00:11:39,240
Man of Steel. Either something wrong
with the elevator going down? Nah,

86
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:52,960
officer good evening, officer mooney.
Well, they say, confession is good

87
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,279
for the soul. I'd listen to
this man. Take them away. H

88
00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:50,720
come on, let'st move your ass. Come on, come on, okay,

89
00:12:50,799 --> 00:13:28,879
let's go. Rut's go rock here
with oder you got bad vibrations,

90
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,440
Dodgeon, you don't believe me,
I swear playing with a big red tape

91
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,559
and bright red boots as well,
because the week he was gone blue boop

92
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,600
in the here again he gives like
a big blue birds, like a big

93
00:13:41,639 --> 00:13:46,039
blue bird, I don't believe me
with bright red boots. Say you wanted

94
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,600
to take the night over, go
back to Bry's bar, and continue when

95
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:50,519
you started, he was I'll be
off in a few minutes and I'll meet

96
00:13:50,519 --> 00:13:56,360
you there myself. At the beginning
of this review, I alluded to Marlin

97
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:03,440
Brando and his performance. Although his
appearance is short, it would be near

98
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:09,759
criminal to not include him. His
performance as Jorrel, even the short time

99
00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:16,279
he is on screen is simply mesmerizing. Our final two clips are examples of

100
00:14:16,399 --> 00:14:24,080
this. First, we hear Jarrell
tell his son goodbye and send him hurling

101
00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:31,519
through space towards Earth as the doomed
planet Crypton is destroyed. Then he speaks

102
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:41,559
to his son on his eighteenth birthday
after Clark uncovers the heralded Fortress of Solitude

103
00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:56,120
and sets Clark on the path that
will become his life's mission. You'll,

104
00:14:56,279 --> 00:15:05,559
Cavil five, will aloud, we
will never leave you, even in the

105
00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:13,600
face of our death, the richness
of our lives, it will be yours.

106
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,679
All that I have, all that
I've learned, everything I feel,

107
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:30,279
all this and more. I I
bequeath you, my son. You will

108
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:37,720
carry me inside you all the days
of your life. You will make my

109
00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:43,960
strength your own. See my life
through your eyes, as your life will

110
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:52,440
be seen through mine. The son
becomes the father, and the father the

111
00:15:52,600 --> 00:16:19,360
son. This is all I well
I can send you. COMEO and now

112
00:16:19,919 --> 00:17:18,839
the Fortress of Solitude. My son, you do not remember me. I

113
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:26,640
am jo L. I am your
father. By now you will have reached

114
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:32,519
your eighteenth year, as it is
measured on Earth. By that reckoning,

115
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:41,359
I will have been dead for many
thousands of your years. The knowledge that

116
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:47,920
I have matters physical and historic,
I have given you fully on your voyage

117
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:52,839
your new home. These are important
matters, to be sure, but still

118
00:17:52,920 --> 00:18:00,799
matters of mere fact. There are
questions to be asked, and it is

119
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:11,039
time for you to do so.
Here in us, Misfortress of Solitude,

120
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:19,359
we shall try to find the answers
together. So, my son, speak

121
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:29,519
O. My your name is Klel. You are the only survivor of the

122
00:18:29,599 --> 00:18:33,839
planet Cryptom. Even though you've been
raised as a human being, you are

123
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:40,400
not one of them. You have
great powers, only some of which you

124
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:47,839
will as yet discover. Come with
me now, my son, as we

125
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,279
break through the bones of your earth
confinement, traveling through time and space,

126
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:57,640
and the sister of your powers will
far exceed those of modern It is forbidden

127
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:03,960
for you to interfere with human history, rather let your leadership still others too.

128
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:11,480
In this next year, we shall
examine the human heart. It is

129
00:19:11,559 --> 00:19:17,680
more fragile than the year. As
we passed through the flaming tumoil, which

130
00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:21,279
is the edge of your own galaxy, we will enter the realm of the

131
00:19:21,319 --> 00:19:26,519
red cryptom Sun, source of your
strength and nourishment and cause of our eventual

132
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:37,400
distinction, the planet Cryptos, your
heart as it was. This year,

133
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,759
we shall examine the various concepts of
immortality and their basis and actual fact.

134
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,599
The total accumulation of all knowledge spanning
the twenty eight non galaxies is embedded in

135
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,400
the crystals which I have sent along
with you. Study them well, my

136
00:19:52,519 --> 00:19:57,880
son, we have reasoned our biological
judgments. By the time we return to

137
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,920
the confines of your I said,
twelve of your years we have passed.

138
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:08,359
For this reason, among others,
I have chosen best for you. It

139
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:14,279
is now time for you to rejoin
your new world and a service collected.

140
00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:21,519
Live as one of little color,
to discover why your strengthen your power of

141
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:29,200
leader, always holding on hard of
pride of your special heritage. They can

142
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:33,880
be a great people color they wish
to be. They only lack the light

143
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:41,960
to show the way well this reason
about their capacity for good. I have

144
00:20:41,079 --> 00:20:52,119
sent them you my only son.
This film laid the blueprint for comic book

145
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:59,359
films as we know them. Start
with a powerful origin story, have a

146
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:07,440
compelling villain at intense and explosive action, with the possible love story. It

147
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:14,880
seems simple enough. However, until
this film, superheroes were mainly relegated to

148
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:21,799
the small screen. This film showed
that superhero movies could not just make money,

149
00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:26,799
but make it by the boatloads.
It grows three hundred point five million

150
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:34,519
dollars worldwide, spawned three sequels,
and without a doubt, laid the groundwork

151
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:41,640
for television series that followed, such
as Smallville in Lois and Clark The New

152
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:48,119
Adventures of Superman. Even the performances
in this film are seen in the modern

153
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:56,359
day characters of Clark Kent, Lois
Lane in Lex Luthor. It caused a

154
00:21:56,519 --> 00:22:02,960
renewed interest in the comic books into
this stay remains one of the truest and

155
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:08,279
greatest comic book adaptations to hit the
big screen. It is a visual tree

156
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:14,559
for anyone to see me. I
hope you joined me. Next week,

157
00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:18,599
when in honor of Memorial Day,
we will look at the heart wrenching Steven

158
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:26,960
Spielberg film Saving Private Rhyme for WMNH
and Matt Connerton Unleached. This has been

159
00:22:27,000 --> 00:26:22,880
a classic film review with Eric Pilcher
the from the studios of w m n

160
00:26:23,079 --> 00:26:27,559
H ninety five point three FM in
downtown Manchester, New Hampshire. You are

161
00:26:27,640 --> 00:27:14,960
tuned in to the best of Matt
Connerton Unleashed. I grabbed that menu off

162
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:30,640
that window one night. Get in, it's unlocked. Just throw that the

163
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:37,079
glovebox. This car is not from
the motor poole. It's not sexy dough

164
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,440
in there. So where's the office? Back at division? In the office?

165
00:27:41,480 --> 00:28:14,920
Baby, going out? Day's a
training day, officer, hoy show

166
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,400
you're around. Give you a take
to the business. You know. I

167
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,400
got thirty eight cases pending trial,
sixty three in active investigation, another two

168
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,279
hundred and fifty on the log I
can't clear. I supervised five officers.

169
00:28:25,319 --> 00:28:27,680
That's five different personalities, five sets
of problems. You could be number six

170
00:28:27,759 --> 00:28:30,319
if you act right. But I
ain't holding no hands, you understand,

171
00:28:30,319 --> 00:28:33,759
I ain't babysitting. You got today
and today owned to show me who and

172
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,240
what you're made of. You know, like narcotics. Get back to the

173
00:28:37,279 --> 00:28:40,599
office, get a nice big desk
job, you know, chasing bad checks

174
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:47,200
or something him out here. Okay, But if you want to be an

175
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:52,960
arc, I want to serve my
community by riding in dangerous drugs, right

176
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,400
correct? Or why you want to
be an arc? I want to make

177
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,759
detective. There you go. You
can do it. Stick with me,

178
00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:03,880
you can do it. Unlearned that
book they teach you at the academy.

179
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,480
Know, don't bring none in get
you killed out in. I will do

180
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:15,200
anything you want me to do.
Roll your window down, start there.

181
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:19,160
So you gotta hear this stream.
You gotta smell it. You know,

182
00:29:19,319 --> 00:29:30,160
you gotta taste it feeling. I
just learn that. Learn that get you

183
00:29:30,279 --> 00:29:34,279
killed. He got plot and all
kinds behind your back. Denzel Washington,

184
00:29:36,599 --> 00:29:42,200
that name alone draws such reverence from
film fans. His performances are legendary,

185
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:48,599
and time and time again, he
is wowed filmgoers with his wide range of

186
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:56,519
abilities. Before two thousand and one, there were questions if Washington could be

187
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:03,880
one character that was the quote unquote
bad guy or villain. This week's film

188
00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:10,920
answered that with one of his greatest
performances, directed by Antoine Fuqua, and

189
00:30:11,079 --> 00:30:15,440
released in two thousand and one.
Training Day gives us the story of idealistic

190
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:22,200
cop Jake hoy Ethan Hawke in his
resurgent role, who is wanting to become

191
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:30,680
a narcotics detective or a narc He
is selected by Officer Alonzo Harris Washington to

192
00:30:30,839 --> 00:30:36,200
go through a training day to try
and make his squad. As the day

193
00:30:36,319 --> 00:30:42,240
evolves, we see Harris's facade as
a decorated, well respected, in feared

194
00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:49,519
cop fall apart in the ruins of
corruption, greed, and lawlessness. Our

195
00:30:49,599 --> 00:30:55,680
first clip sets the stage for this
day. Our next clip is the first

196
00:30:55,759 --> 00:31:02,359
meeting between hoy and Smith in a
coffee shop. We hear the coldness that

197
00:31:02,599 --> 00:31:08,079
Harris has and the eagerness of hoy
This is important because as this film progresses,

198
00:31:08,599 --> 00:31:18,119
the Harris coldness evolves into ruthlessness and
Hoyt's eagerness turns into helpless despair.

199
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:34,799
I'm trying to read my paper.
Please shut up the last year wouldn't mind

200
00:31:36,279 --> 00:31:47,359
not roasting a high black and white
olsmer tell me a story, wit like

201
00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:52,000
my story? No, not your
story? A story. Since you can't

202
00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:53,559
keep your mouth shut long enough for
me to read my paper, tell me

203
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,720
a story. I don't think I
know any stories. You don't know any

204
00:31:56,759 --> 00:32:00,000
stories. All right, I'll tell
you a story. This is a newspaper,

205
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:06,839
right, it's ninety percent, but
it's entertaining. That's why I read

206
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,039
it, because it entertains me.
You won't let me read it, so

207
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,880
you entertain me with your boy.
Tell me a story, right now.

208
00:32:13,039 --> 00:32:17,200
Go Well, there was a dui
stop, a dui stop, let me

209
00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:22,880
load up my gun a d uh
oh listen, all right, it's kid.

210
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:29,440
We were on her to watch oh
me and Debbie, who's I'm sorry,

211
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,839
Debbie Maxwell, my training officer had
a female training wawser, yes,

212
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:38,079
sir, o, okay, okay, right, all right? So what

213
00:32:38,279 --> 00:32:44,839
was she? Black wife's wife?
It's pretty pretty good, Debbie midwatch Go

214
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,400
all right. Well so it was
a real quiet you never know, that's

215
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,720
the point. Go all right,
Well it was it was quiet night.

216
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:58,160
We're rolling on van no one.
I'm driving this accurate. Just a beautiful

217
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,319
car comes out of side street all
over the media and in access. I

218
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,200
lighted up. Hit the whaler.
Guy drives on. I'm like, I'm

219
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,640
invisible for ten blocks before he pulls
over. He plays run clean, and

220
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,440
so I feel tasked and arrest,
and I'm I'm belting him in our unit

221
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:15,359
and Debbie's tossing his car. She
calls me over to the vehicle and shows

222
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:21,240
me snup thirty eight and two shotguns
fully loaded and locked. So she calls

223
00:33:21,279 --> 00:33:23,480
our supervisor and I keep searching.
I find five hundred grams of meth in

224
00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:28,759
the dash. It turns out this
duy is unbailed for distribution. It's on

225
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:34,559
his way to smoke his ex partner
before trial. We prevented a murder.

226
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,759
You got him. It's amazing.
It is that you could be out there

227
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:44,119
with a fine for a year and
the most entertaining story that you can come

228
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:51,240
up with to tell me is a
drunk stop. But I don't believe you.

229
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:59,839
We tap that, you know you
tap that. You put it in

230
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:06,799
a bagsy bam code X man.
I gotta way, you gotta do You

231
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,599
do have a diction? Yes?
Okay? It lines up straight like that,

232
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,840
right to the right of it and
to the left of it, or

233
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,880
pockets right in those pockets of money
looking either one of them paid to build.

234
00:34:19,559 --> 00:34:24,079
With most cop films, there is
corruption either right in front of our

235
00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:30,800
eyes or it is heavily implied.
What makes this film different is it is

236
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:37,400
not over the top. It is
painfully real and drives this story. Our

237
00:34:37,519 --> 00:34:44,440
next two clips are examples of this. First, Alonso has to meet a

238
00:34:44,519 --> 00:34:50,519
group of officers that call themselves the
Wise Men because of their ability to use

239
00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:54,480
corruption to get whatever they want.
In this meeting, we hear the trouble

240
00:34:54,519 --> 00:35:02,039
Alonzo is in after a disturbing and
disgusting story. Then, after Alonso kills

241
00:35:02,119 --> 00:35:09,039
someone to take millions hiding in his
own home, his relationship with Hoyt begins

242
00:35:09,159 --> 00:35:15,360
to unravel, but not until Alonzo
makes one more attempt to convince Jake that

243
00:35:15,519 --> 00:35:25,880
what they are doing is acceptable.
To see a jam. It's my new

244
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,079
guy who works on my squad,
j hooy Captain Luke Jacobs. You haven't

245
00:35:30,119 --> 00:35:32,559
need to talk to the Fed.
You talk to him first, good man.

246
00:35:32,639 --> 00:35:37,079
He can take you back for you. Stan Gerski over here, he

247
00:35:37,159 --> 00:35:40,480
runs the DA shooting team. You
think about him before you pull the trigger,

248
00:35:40,519 --> 00:35:46,480
because you're room he'll snap nuts out
using for dice. Detective Doug Riseli

249
00:35:46,599 --> 00:35:51,119
right here, and it's high dollar
deft cases for the French poodle crowd.

250
00:35:51,199 --> 00:35:52,800
You know if you lose a Picasso
he'll find it for your diage. Fine,

251
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:59,239
he's a good man. Please meet
you, good man. Boom shoo,

252
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:06,719
get yourself a baseball steak or something. Yes, I don't know why

253
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:14,760
I'm meeting you. I don't talk
to dead man. Ain't dead Jenny by

254
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:19,239
a long faced Doug. Huh,
bet sees your house or something. Couple

255
00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:24,800
told him the story. Come on, tell the story. You think it's

256
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,559
so funny you talking? No,
No, it's your story, you tell

257
00:36:28,599 --> 00:36:37,440
it, all right, all right, all right. This is cereal Burglar

258
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:43,320
tracing him for twelve months and real
slickster gave up nothing. Captain's writing my

259
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:49,760
ass the entire time. Sensing was
today Judge's female. That's right, Landers,

260
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:58,920
Yeah, I know Landers shop lady. So before the hearing, guy

261
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:05,800
gets hold of some pebout pack and
he's standing tall before the bench and he's

262
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,880
waiting to give a statement. So
he shoves his hand down his pants,

263
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:15,440
comes out with a gob an extra
chunky chief. Bailiffs won't come near him.

264
00:37:22,119 --> 00:37:25,039
Now he's looking to judge right in
the eyes, licks his fingers cleaned.

265
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,719
So Judge says, uh, oh, this poor man's insane. He

266
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,960
can't go to prison, orders him
to psychiatrist he fell for. Yeah,

267
00:37:34,039 --> 00:37:37,480
that's because he's smart. Times she
found out it was sandwich spared. The

268
00:37:37,599 --> 00:37:51,840
order was signed, that guy has
been transferred. He's closed, freckled six

269
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,079
months in the puzzle factory. Then
they'll call him normal and let him lose.

270
00:37:54,519 --> 00:37:59,280
Ever do a damn prison ye,
give him quitit though, work.

271
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:07,559
The system deserves his freedom. Yeah, so or not. I'll tell you

272
00:38:07,679 --> 00:38:13,079
what. I'm gonna find this guy
on the street and I'm gonna do him.

273
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:27,559
You better take his bullets from him, standing lonzo. Yeah, an

274
00:38:27,639 --> 00:38:34,280
expensive weekend in Vegas? How did
you ever screw up so bad? Nothing?

275
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,360
It's nothing, forget it. You
know, I didn't know. It's

276
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:38,199
not my town. I'm not am
nisition, But Russians don't care. If

277
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:43,880
you have a badge, whack you. You're to hyper jet out of here.

278
00:38:44,519 --> 00:38:50,679
Why it's an easy fix. How
he's cashing an account? Oh yeah,

279
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,960
yeah, who's one of my old
ones? My first one. It's

280
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,519
not a problem. Look, the
guy's a high security risk anyway. If

281
00:38:58,519 --> 00:39:01,280
I'm not around, who's gonna keep
him off rate? Are you? I'm

282
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:12,800
just taxing that so okay, that's
your call. I do not want you

283
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,239
to I do not want to see
you on the front page like those others.

284
00:39:19,199 --> 00:39:28,800
Yeah, I understand who's driving me
Grand Mercedes? Okay? And now

285
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:46,960
hoit? Questions? Alonzo? All
right, later I d be who's you're

286
00:39:47,039 --> 00:39:54,039
not the ground justifiable on a side
lined to be okay, now what happened.

287
00:39:54,280 --> 00:40:01,000
What happened was a murder and arm
bre Oh we have badges, so

288
00:40:01,079 --> 00:40:06,239
it's different. Son killed from your
eyes? Can't you see? That man

289
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:12,159
was your friend and you killed him? Come my friend? Uh mean why

290
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,800
because he knows my first name?
So this is the game. I'm playing

291
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:22,119
his ass. That's my job.
That's your job. Roger sold dope the

292
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:28,199
kids. The world is a better
place without him. Hey, this man

293
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:34,400
was the biggest major violator in Los
Angeles. I watched that Tucker operate with

294
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,199
impunity for over ten years, and
now I got it the ship. Yes,

295
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:49,719
it ain't check us what you think
we're gonna do. We're gonna roll

296
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,719
up in a black and white huh, slap the cuffs on him. You'reunder

297
00:40:52,760 --> 00:41:00,320
arrest. That's a high roller dog
think of money and already told you I'm

298
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,119
not gonna take this take. I'm
not gonna take that you don't just burn

299
00:41:04,159 --> 00:41:07,280
it. Barbecue and fish fry.
I don't give but the boys will feel

300
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,760
better their feelings. Jacob, You're
not making them feel like you're part of

301
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:16,719
the team. The team. You
guys are insane. All right, I'll

302
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:25,239
go back to the valley. I'll
cut parking tickets. You know he can't

303
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,880
be like this. It is this
way, man, I'm sorry I expose

304
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,599
you to it, but it is. It's ugly, but it's necessary.

305
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:36,960
I became a cop to put away
drug dealers, the poisoners, the criminals.

306
00:41:37,039 --> 00:41:39,840
Not to be one sounds just like
man, and I know what you're

307
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:44,679
going through. I know what you're
feeling. You're scared. I'm not scared

308
00:41:44,679 --> 00:41:47,360
as you want to terrified. Anybody
goes through that the first time I went

309
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:54,400
through as the SONA. You can
match what's in your head. That's what's

310
00:41:54,440 --> 00:42:00,079
going on in the real world.
The better you're gonna feel in this business.

311
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,280
You gotta have a little gut on
you for anybody to trust you.

312
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,960
I'm gonna all this is behind you. It's gonna be a home on the

313
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:15,039
world that opens up for you.
I walk a high and past sun,

314
00:42:15,039 --> 00:42:22,920
but I can give me the keys
to all the doors's. My guys are

315
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,679
pretty good. But then I leaders, then the clowns. You're a leading

316
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:30,079
You want my job, You got
it. You want to lock up poisonous.

317
00:42:30,159 --> 00:42:35,840
This is the best place to do
it. But you gotta just you

318
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,960
don't take your time. You make
detective and play the game and grow wise,

319
00:42:39,079 --> 00:42:44,719
and then you can change things.
But you gotta change him from the

320
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:52,400
inside. So let's go down down
to the station. You talk to my

321
00:42:52,519 --> 00:42:55,679
guys staying, and then we'll walk
you through what you gotta say to the

322
00:42:55,760 --> 00:43:15,840
da guys. Okay. This film
has many great performances and cameos from the

323
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:22,559
aforementioned Hawk, Tom Barringer, Doctor
Dre Macy, Gray Snoop Dogg, and

324
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:29,559
Eva Mendez. But no mistake,
the performance that is not just the top

325
00:43:29,639 --> 00:43:34,320
in this film, but one of
the greatest ever, is that of Washington.

326
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:40,719
In our final clip, the unraveling
of Alonso is complete when men that

327
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:46,920
Alonso allows to illegally operate in a
local neighborhood do not take Jake out when

328
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:53,360
he commands them too. He loses
all control and gives a speech that many,

329
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:59,719
my self included, feel is one
of the most memorable in cinema.

330
00:44:00,079 --> 00:44:07,960
Street. Oh you mother? Okay, all right, I'm putting cases on

331
00:44:08,079 --> 00:44:14,960
all you. Huh. You think
you can do this, Jane, You

332
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:21,039
think you can do this to me? Your mother will be playing basketball in

333
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:29,599
Pelican Fay when I get finished with
you. Shoot program twenty three hour Lockdown.

334
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:34,800
I'm the man up in this.
You'll never see the light of dude,

335
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:38,199
though you think you with. I'm
the police. I rushed you,

336
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:44,960
just lifted. Yeah, that's wack. You better walk away. Gonna walk

337
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:51,239
away because I'm gonna burn this one
down. King Kong ain't got on me.

338
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:59,559
This film marked a major turning point
for Washington. As I stated before,

339
00:45:00,159 --> 00:45:04,960
proved he could play the villain and
do it well. It gave him

340
00:45:05,039 --> 00:45:10,480
an added dynamic to his already awe
inspiring range. So much so he has

341
00:45:10,519 --> 00:45:16,480
went on to play other unscrupulous individuals
in other films. While they are great

342
00:45:16,559 --> 00:45:23,559
performances, they do not match the
verocity and powerhouse performance he gives in this

343
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:30,559
film. This film was a hit. It was the second highest October opening

344
00:45:30,639 --> 00:45:35,960
in cinema history, at twenty four
point two million its opening weekend. The

345
00:45:36,079 --> 00:45:42,119
only reason it opened in October is
following the September eleven attacks. The film

346
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:46,320
was delayed by a month. It
finished with one hundred and four point nine

347
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:53,679
million gross worldwide. It was nominated
for two Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actor

348
00:45:54,000 --> 00:46:02,679
for Hawk and Best Actor for Denzel
Washington right Fully and Deservingly Washington one for

349
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:09,800
Best Actor. It has spawned a
sense canceled television series, and a prequel

350
00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:15,039
of the film is currently in production. It is timeless and its realness,

351
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:22,760
rawness and unabashed power. I would
recommend this film to anyone, no matter

352
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:29,880
what films they like. With my
highest recommendation, I hope you will join

353
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:34,559
me next week when we will look
up to the sky and answer is it

354
00:46:34,639 --> 00:46:38,800
a bird? Is it a playing? Well? Maybe, but one thing

355
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:45,440
is for sure. It is the
first comic book film blockbuster. We will

356
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:52,280
look at Christopher Reeves in the nineteen
seventy eight film Superman, the movie for

357
00:46:52,559 --> 00:46:58,920
WMNH and Matt Connerton unleashed. This
has been a classic film review with Derek

358
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:07,079
Pilcher still sloped up and d I
ain't d yes who was backing? Still

00:53:47,039 --> 00:53:51,440
lot of you know, booking and
some artist management and all that kind of

447
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,920
stuff. So um, and I
always found that, um, you know,

448
00:53:54,039 --> 00:53:57,679
to me, it's it's all interesting, you know what I mean,

449
00:53:58,079 --> 00:54:02,960
because I think most musicians really would
like to not have to do any of

450
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,360
the business part of it, you
know, they want to just focus on

451
00:54:07,519 --> 00:54:10,280
making the music. But I think
it's um but for whatever reason, the

452
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:14,119
way my brain is wired, and
maybe you're the same way, I just

453
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,679
think it's all fascinating. And I
not that there's anything quite like being on

454
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,440
stage, but you know what I
mean, Oh yeah, that's the goal

455
00:54:21,679 --> 00:54:23,559
to get back on stage. But
in the meantime, you know, I

456
00:54:23,639 --> 00:54:27,920
figured I can help other people realize
those dreams as well. Yeah, because

457
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:30,000
like you said, there's there's no
better feeling if you're a musician being on

458
00:54:30,119 --> 00:54:34,400
stage in front of you know,
tons of people that know your music,

459
00:54:34,639 --> 00:54:37,880
rocking out, singing along. Oh
yeah, it's it's a you know,

460
00:54:37,079 --> 00:54:40,400
a high unlike any others. So
absolutely, let's go ahead and play this

461
00:54:40,519 --> 00:54:45,440
for everybody. I'm anxious to hear
it again. This this track house Lights,

462
00:54:45,519 --> 00:54:49,119
and I'm sorry the band is house
Lights. The track is love and

463
00:54:49,199 --> 00:54:52,480
Understanding and anything you want us to
know about this before we listen to it.

464
00:54:52,559 --> 00:54:58,079
About the song, I mean,
so, it's this album that we're

465
00:54:58,079 --> 00:55:00,280
coming out with. It's probably just
gonna be self titled. Um, you

466
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,719
know, we've been working on at
the last kind of year plus, I

467
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:07,079
mean, Matt for a lot longer. He approached me a couple of years

468
00:55:07,079 --> 00:55:08,880
ago with the music and it's kind
of like, Okay, we're gonna we're

469
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:13,039
gonna start this up again and you
know, give it another go okay,

470
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:15,440
you know. Uh, the only
thing I'll say is is just uh,

471
00:55:15,639 --> 00:55:20,199
you know, this album in particular
was pretty personal to me. Um as

472
00:55:20,199 --> 00:55:22,159
far as the lyrics, you know, I wrote probably ninety eighty five nine

473
00:55:22,199 --> 00:55:27,199
percent of the lyrics um for the
album, and uh, you know,

474
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,320
we can get a little bit more
into that after we hear the song,

475
00:55:29,519 --> 00:55:31,639
but uh, you know, just
it's a lot about you know, personal

476
00:55:31,679 --> 00:55:36,320
experiences and kind of what I try
to promote in my daily life and and

477
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:38,880
you know more that I wish out
of society. I guess well, okay,

478
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:42,599
say, okay, cool, cool, all right, let's give this

479
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,920
a listen. So this is Love
and Understanding is a song and the track,

480
00:55:46,079 --> 00:55:50,800
but the band is houselights. Um
you know what it it's it's eighty

481
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:52,760
seven degrees and it's not even the
middle of April, and it's just messing

482
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:58,039
with me in every way possible physically, mentally, It's it's nuts. So,

483
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:00,840
yeah, this is Love and Understanding. The B and his house lights.

484
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:31,920
Check this out. This is really
good. I know I'm shruggling to

485
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:42,000

488
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:51,000
ye runs off around, run through
round love just association turned pain into motivation.

489
00:57:52,280 --> 00:58:06,400

492
00:58:52,000 --> 00:59:43,480
Why nobody has the band is house
Lights and from house Lights we have here

493
00:59:43,639 --> 00:59:45,400
at the news desk. Sam Beechart
is with us. How are you,

494
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:49,639
Sam? Doing great? Welcome to
the show today. Thank you. Have

495
00:59:49,719 --> 00:59:51,519
you been here before? By the
way, have you been in this building?

496
00:59:51,679 --> 00:59:53,079
I have not. It's what It's
wild, isn't it, because you

497
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,559
would never know, like from the
outside, you would never know there was

498
00:59:55,559 --> 01:00:00,760
a radio station up here, very
very indiscriminate door. Yes, yes,

499
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:04,920
it's very Uh it's it's like we're
we're sort of tucked away. Um,

500
01:00:05,159 --> 01:00:08,239
but which is kind of nice.
But uh and uh it is a beautiful

501
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:12,519
day out of course in downtown Manchester. It's hot. It was eighty seven

502
01:00:12,559 --> 01:00:16,159
degrees when I came in, and
uh, it seems like every every year,

503
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:21,559
I feel like we get that first
blast of summer weather a little bit

504
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,320
earlier than the year before, and
it just keeps going. And I like

505
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,880
the heat, but it worries me
a little bit too, you know what

506
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:31,119
I mean? But uh so,
uh, Sam is here looking forward to

507
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:35,320
uh to talking with him? So, um, are you a summer guy?

508
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:39,159
Sam? No? No, The
it's the humidity. Yeah that gets

509
01:00:39,199 --> 01:00:44,320
me. Yeah. Yeah, it
hit seventy five and I'm if I can't

510
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,239
even sit without starting to sweat.
Oh really yeah, yeah, yeah,

511
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:50,039
I'm kind of the opposite. I
I like the heat. I don't like

512
01:00:50,159 --> 01:00:53,199
the cold, although the cold bothers
me less than it used to. But

513
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:58,920
I like spring. I really like
summer. I don't like fall because of

514
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:00,880
what it leads to. You know, the trees are nice and everything with

515
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:06,119
the foliage. But but yeah,
it feels like I don't know what it's

516
01:01:06,119 --> 01:01:08,000
supposed to be like tomorrow, if
this is supposed to last. But boy,

517
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:12,559
I'll tell you it showed up quickly
this year. Yeah. But um

518
01:01:13,559 --> 01:01:15,599
So, tell me more about um
So that track? I love that song,

519
01:01:16,199 --> 01:01:20,440
Love and Understanding the band house Lights
one of your bands. Well,

520
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:22,920
what can you tell us about that? I'm particularly curious to know, and

521
01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,719
I'm a bit of a geek this
way. I love to hear about the

522
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:30,360
process of recording songs because you know, I'm older, and when I was

523
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:34,199
growing up, it was, you
know, basically your options were. Well,

524
01:01:34,239 --> 01:01:36,039
of course, if you are in
a big band, you go to

525
01:01:36,119 --> 01:01:38,480
a million dollars studio, and if
you're in a little local band. You

526
01:01:38,559 --> 01:01:42,800
know, you find a cheaper studio
to go and record at. But we

527
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,360
live in an era now where you've
got so many options as far as how

528
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:49,559
you record. So I'm really curious
to know more about that and h and

529
01:01:49,639 --> 01:01:52,679
anything else you can tell us about
that that track. Yeah, so,

530
01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:58,280
yes, the whole album is recorded
right you're in Manchester. Self produced excellent.

531
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:01,960
So Matt Matt, lead guitarist for
the band, writes pretty much all

532
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,000
of the music for the band.
Um and so he has all of that

533
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,360
just rerecorded. Um, you know, demos that stuff at home and then

534
01:02:09,599 --> 01:02:13,360
uh, you know, we get
to come in and hear it and kind

535
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,519
of lay our lay down our parts. Um our drummer shout out Adam Susy.

536
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:22,000
Uh he's a Berkeley boy. Uh
he's he's pretty much uh the most

537
01:02:22,079 --> 01:02:25,320
I jokingly say, is the most
successful. He's a touring uh drummer and

538
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:29,840
session drummer for a ton of bands
around the area. Cool and people listening

539
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:31,159
probably have heard his name. He
plays with a lot of different acts,

540
01:02:31,559 --> 01:02:35,679
um, you know through it from
around Boston and everything. Um. So

541
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:39,280
he's always he's always drumming. Um
and he's amazing Yeah, he laid down

542
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:44,000
some killer drum tracks and his home
studio. UM sent him over to us

543
01:02:44,079 --> 01:02:46,800
and and you know, got him
put together. And then uh, we

544
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:51,559
were looking for someone to to mix
the tracks. Um. Obviously we none

545
01:02:51,559 --> 01:02:52,960
of us have a lot of experience
in that. Yeah. And uh,

546
01:02:53,119 --> 01:02:55,840
you know, again the advent of
technology and the internet. We went to

547
01:02:55,960 --> 01:03:00,920
sound Better UM and we found uh, we had a lot of bids actually,

548
01:03:00,159 --> 01:03:05,639
um so sound Better is a website
where artists can can post their music

549
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:10,000
and engineers will bid on. I
didn't know about mixing and mastering. It's

550
01:03:10,119 --> 01:03:15,079
an incredible website. Wow. So
we actually found a guy, um,

551
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:21,519
Augustine Pugh out of a studio Dukie
in uh Argentina, who is mixing or

552
01:03:21,679 --> 01:03:24,280
mixing our album for us. And
the mixes are coming out incredible. Um.

553
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:28,960
His prices are incredibly reasonable, and
he's taken all of our feedback and

554
01:03:29,159 --> 01:03:32,480
just made magic. Um. Wow, he's he's amplified the songs. He's

555
01:03:32,519 --> 01:03:36,960
had some input on his end too, of like you know, we're a

556
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:38,119
little bit you know, liberal with
it. Like you know, hey,

557
01:03:38,159 --> 01:03:42,119
if you got something that sounds good
you think would be you know, help

558
01:03:42,199 --> 01:03:44,519
the song, send it over to
us and we'll check it out. If

559
01:03:44,559 --> 01:03:45,960
we like it, we'll roll with
it. Yeah. Um, So that

560
01:03:46,119 --> 01:03:51,079
he's he's made the process you know, very very um you know, easy

561
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:55,280
and comfortable. Yum. And just
you know, he's he's quickly developing into

562
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:59,679
another part of like our project,
you know, somebody that could definitely see

563
01:03:59,719 --> 01:04:01,960
us work with again in the future. It sounds like he's And it's so

564
01:04:02,119 --> 01:04:06,719
often it just sort of happens by
accident where someone is is engineering or mixing,

565
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:10,760
but they become sort of a de
facto producer. Yeah. In the

566
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,760
process of that. Yeah, you
get somebody that's uh, you know,

567
01:04:14,199 --> 01:04:17,360
more of an objective observer and they're
they're detached from the music a bit,

568
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,679
so they can pick out these things
that you might be fighting for that are

569
01:04:20,719 --> 01:04:24,880
just they only mean something to you, Yeah, but don't necessarily serve the

570
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:30,400
music. Yeah. So yeah,
honest objective feedback UM is always great and

571
01:04:30,679 --> 01:04:34,480
I offer it to any bands ever. Um. You know obviously uh novacoy

572
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:39,480

back. Um, Matt and Tye from

573
01:04:39,559 --> 01:04:43,320
Strange Tractions booking. Obviously they're in
NOVACOI. Um, you know, we've

574
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:45,280
become good friends and they've been helping
me along with the booking stuff. Attle

575
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:49,079
cool well cool, um, so
you know, yeah, it's standing offer

576
01:04:49,519 --> 01:04:54,480

01:04:54,559 --> 01:04:59,639
need objective, constructive feedback from you
know, an open minded person. I

578
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:01,239
la pretty much every genre. Yeah, um, you know, and I

579
01:05:01,599 --> 01:05:06,199
enjoy pretty much every genre. So
cool, you know cool reach out excellent,

580
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:11,760
excellent. Now so sound better because
I was not aware of this website.

581
01:05:12,119 --> 01:05:15,360
So what do you so you um
musicians post? Well, what do

582
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:20,239
you what do you post when you're
looking for someone to bid on your work?

583
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:24,159
As far as mixing? Like like, what do you do you post

584
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:29,559
like demos or yeah you post like
you know a thirty thirty second minute long

585
01:05:29,679 --> 01:05:33,079
clip um or links to you know
if you have staff hardy on Spotify or

586
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:38,239
band camp or SoundCloud. Ye,
you know, you can give send the

587
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:41,760
links over the engineer. They'll take
a listen and then they can bid if

588
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:44,800
it's something they think fits or if
they want to add the you know that

589
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,920
style to their portfolio. But how
do you when when you um, when

590
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:53,280
you send things to the engineer for
them to decide if they want to bid,

591
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:56,440
how do you how does that initial
connection happen? Do you do you

592
01:05:56,559 --> 01:06:00,280
put your uh do do you put
yourself on this? And then engineers,

593
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,840
well some prospective engineers will see it
or how does it? How does how

594
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:09,159
does the connection happen? Yeah,
so I I Matt is the one that

595
01:06:09,239 --> 01:06:12,000
handled most of that, Okay,
So I don't know one hundred percent.

596
01:06:12,199 --> 01:06:15,599
Yeah, I just know that I
think we did a little bit of reaching

597
01:06:15,639 --> 01:06:17,519
out, um, you know,
just paying a few people like, yeah,

598
01:06:17,559 --> 01:06:21,639
we're interested in in some mixing services
or mastering services. Yeah. And

599
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:25,400
then yeah, and then you you
kind of post your link too. I

600
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:28,559
think it's like a message board,
okay, thing um, and then the

601
01:06:28,679 --> 01:06:31,079
engineers can go on and search it. Yeah, and if they are interested,

602
01:06:31,159 --> 01:06:34,400
they send a message out directly to
you. Okay, and then you

603
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:39,000
kind of work out the details.
That's really cool. I I'll have to

604
01:06:39,079 --> 01:06:42,519
look at I mean, you know, I don't have anything to post or

605
01:06:42,559 --> 01:06:45,400
need mixed, but I'm gonna look
at that site later, just out of

606
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,320
curiosity, because that's a great idea. That's a great concept. Yeah,

607
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,320
and there's a lot of them like
that, you know. Obviously you've got

608
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,840
for artists. You have five now, which is a big one. Yeah.

609
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,679
Yeah, you know that people can
go on and even have people make

610
01:06:56,760 --> 01:07:00,840
songs for them or produced stuff.
So you know, the almost anything you

611
01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:02,360
can think of, you know,
yeah, you can find it. Yeah

612
01:07:02,639 --> 01:07:08,920
yeah, Um do you know if
uh I understand, So Matt handled that

613
01:07:09,639 --> 01:07:14,639
part of the process, But do
you know if other did other mixers or

614
01:07:14,679 --> 01:07:17,760
engineers bid Yeah, oh yeah,
so anyones that that came back to us,

615
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:21,800
you know, uh, Matt and
Bobby who does the scream vocals um

616
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:26,719
in there? Yea, I do
pretty I do the cleans for house lights,

617
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:31,119
ok um. Working on getting into
more uh more types of vocal um

618
01:07:31,199 --> 01:07:36,119
working on my extreme vocally called UM
but haven't done any for that project yet.

619
01:07:36,519 --> 01:07:40,280
Um. Uh. But yeah,
so Matt and Bobby and I would

620
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:44,199
talk over UM. You know,
Matt would would field the requests and kind

621
01:07:44,239 --> 01:07:46,000
of send them out to us.
We'd have group chats and stuff and you

622
01:07:46,039 --> 01:07:49,880
know, okay, this person's offering
this much, and here their references who

623
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:54,360
they've worked with. UM. So
we we definitely did our research, you

624
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:57,960
know. We we had a certain
um, you know, certain style that

625
01:07:58,599 --> 01:08:00,639
not everyone can handle. Sure,
it's a bit different. We don't want

626
01:08:00,679 --> 01:08:03,559
to sound generic. We don't want
to sound you know, cookie cutter.

627
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:08,559
So we wanted somebody that was going
to be excited, um, you know,

628
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,599
to to work with us. And
uh so I don't know if it's

629
01:08:12,639 --> 01:08:16,119
always the case, but Augustine actually
did some free demo like work for us

630
01:08:16,199 --> 01:08:19,479
when we were initially uh you know, trying to trying to find out who

631
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:24,239
we wanted. So he did like
a whole like minute mix for two different

632
01:08:24,279 --> 01:08:27,079
songs, um and sent them back
to us for free, no charge.

633
01:08:27,159 --> 01:08:29,159
Yeah. Yeah, it's like,
if you guys want to continue, this

634
01:08:29,319 --> 01:08:31,000
is what you know the price would
be. And oh that's really cool.

635
01:08:31,159 --> 01:08:35,439
Yeah, that's a great resource.
Wow. J Fed is asking in the

636
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:40,039
chat and he uh, I don't
know if you've heard many of the other

637
01:08:40,119 --> 01:08:43,720
interviews, but he asked this question
of everybody. Uh. He's he's got

638
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:45,600
his wife's birthday is coming up in
September, so he wants to know do

639
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:49,840
you play birthday parties? Well,
so with both of my projects, so

640
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:54,439
house Lights, Um, again,
we're finishing our full length album, but

641
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:58,079
we are still looking actively looking for
a second guitarist. Um. We haven't

642
01:08:58,119 --> 01:09:00,359
played any of this music live together
yet. Yeah, so we wanted to

643
01:09:00,399 --> 01:09:03,439
finish on the music, get it
all done, and then build out our

644
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:09,560
live live show, so house Lights. Unfortunately it would not be I it'd

645
01:09:09,600 --> 01:09:12,880
be hard pressed to be ready for
that that time frame. Yeah, and

646
01:09:13,039 --> 01:09:16,319
then with Astronomist, kind of same
thing. I just joined Astronomists back in

647
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:21,159
like November December. They were just
starting to form the project. They're from

648
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:28,840
kind of like middle central Maine area. But you know, I heard them

649
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,199
posting some stuff on Facebook. Came
across them one day, and uh,

650
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,920
they were looking for a vocalist and
I really dug their music. So I

651
01:09:35,079 --> 01:09:38,079
was like, you know, gave
a few months because I was just super

652
01:09:38,159 --> 01:09:41,239
busy with stuff. Yeah, and
it was still open and I'm like whatever,

653
01:09:41,359 --> 01:09:44,000
I'll just I'll give it a shot. Yeah and uh so yeah,

654
01:09:44,159 --> 01:09:46,199
through through a demo together for them
on one of their songs that they sent

655
01:09:46,319 --> 01:09:48,920
over, and uh, you know, the rest is history. So working

656
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:54,399
on an EP right now, you
know pretty much the band is is you

657
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:58,840
know, fully formed, but again
still very early stages. Unfortunately, I

658
01:09:59,239 --> 01:10:01,439
can't help you out with the birthday
parties for this year, but maybe next

659
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,159
year we can talk. So his
next question was, what if I play

660
01:10:04,159 --> 01:10:11,800
a guitar for you. I mean, depending on my availability, I would

661
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,760
always come and do some covers,
just me and somebody. I unfortunately am

662
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:17,760
not a musician. I cannot.
I used to play bass in bands.

663
01:10:18,039 --> 01:10:24,199
Um, I would not call myself
a good bassist really passing, you know,

664
01:10:24,359 --> 01:10:27,800
kind of picked it up because they
needed one ye back in the day.

665
01:10:28,199 --> 01:10:30,880
But you know, vocals have always
been my passion and I'm happy to

666
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:33,560
now have the chance to do that
for bands and focus my attention on that.

667
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:36,479
Yeah. So you know, I've
been working with a vocal coach and

668
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:41,319
really I've added an extreme vocal coach
as well. Okay, I'm just you

669
01:10:41,399 --> 01:10:44,600
know, pushing myself to get a
bit you know, best vocal that I

670
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:46,520
can. That's interesting to me.
So you have a you have a vocal

671
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:50,039
coach, and then so you have
a someone else you've just started working with

672
01:10:50,159 --> 01:10:54,760
to get that to be able to
UM. I always hear uh. I've

673
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:58,880
heard a lot of singers talk about
there's a DVD, although now it's probably

674
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,159
just you. You can find the
online of uh. I think it's called

675
01:11:01,199 --> 01:11:05,560
the Is that The Art of Screaming? Yeah? Across? Oh yes,

676
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,600
yes that uh that came out way
back when I was in high school,

677
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,960
um, middle school, high school. Me and my buddies all all knew

678
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,840
about that up out um a lot
of the bands that we liked were going

679
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:19,000
to melist Across. She was kind
of one of the first pioneers of of

680
01:11:19,279 --> 01:11:25,239
you know, the extreme vocal uh
you know coaching. Yeah yeah, and

681
01:11:25,319 --> 01:11:28,000
hen she has her own method um. You know, so there's a bunch

682
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,199
of different methods, and there's you
know, the main the main types are

683
01:11:30,199 --> 01:11:33,359
a sort of false chord and fry
scream, which a lot of the industry

684
01:11:33,359 --> 01:11:36,239
doesn't necessarily light even like those terms, but those are just terms that people

685
01:11:36,279 --> 01:11:41,000
have given to so that's kind of
how people identify them. Yeah, so

686
01:11:41,279 --> 01:11:44,359
you know, those are kind of
the main two main types of extreme vocal

687
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:47,239
uh, which is how they're known
kind of as a broader, broader category.

688
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:50,239
Let me let me ask you this
because I've always been kind of fascinated

689
01:11:50,319 --> 01:11:53,399
by it, and I'm not a
singer myself. I mean, I can

690
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:56,760
sing, um, I the only
thing I can really do as far as

691
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:58,920
a vocal, Like, you know, I can do backing vocals. I've

692
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:00,920
done backing vocals and bands, and
I'm actually not a bad harmony singer.

693
01:12:01,279 --> 01:12:03,760
I seem to have an ear for
being able to find the octave and kind

694
01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:05,920
of lock in where I need to
on my own though I get lost.

695
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:11,199
I could never be a lead singer, but um, I've always been fascinated

696
01:12:11,279 --> 01:12:16,199
by so with the with the extreme
singing is um is the biggest part of

697
01:12:16,279 --> 01:12:21,079
it, Just learning how to do
it safely, yes, because obviously,

698
01:12:21,199 --> 01:12:25,960
I mean you if you do that
wrong, you could really I mean,

699
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,800
you could shred your vocal chords right
yep. And a lot of people have,

700
01:12:29,239 --> 01:12:32,880
um. I bet you know a
lot of people even going to Melissa

701
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:38,079
Cross and any of those other schools, it's very easy to It's a lot

702
01:12:38,119 --> 01:12:42,560
of famous musicians that have had multiple
vocal surgeries because they, you know,

703
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,760
either are not following the technique properly
or just you know, in the moment

704
01:12:45,800 --> 01:12:49,720
they pushed you hard. Um.
You know, it's it's definitely all about

705
01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:56,720
technique. Once you have technique,
and in technique plus breath control seems to

706
01:12:56,800 --> 01:13:00,560
be the magic key to unlock all
those doors. Once you have those two

707
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:02,079
things, it's gonna take a lot
of time, yeah, but you can

708
01:13:02,119 --> 01:13:05,760
at least make those sounds. And
once you know how to make those sounds,

709
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:10,840
then you can start to you know, develop and find your own sound

710
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:14,840
within the technique. Is there still
even if you're doing it safely? Is

711
01:13:15,159 --> 01:13:21,359
there still I would imagine some some
risk of of long term damage if you,

712
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,560
um, if you're just singing that
way a lot on a consistent basis.

713
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:30,560
Am I wrong? Uh? In
you know, I certainly wouldn't claim

714
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,199
to be an expert to speak on
that. Yeah that anybody really is?

715
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:35,520
Yeah, you know, I don't
know famously obviously. You know. Will

716
01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:39,319
Ramos is one of the most from
from Lauren Shore is one of the most

717
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:43,000
famous extreme vocalists at this current time. Yeah, you know, and they

718
01:13:43,039 --> 01:13:45,760
did the face you know, the
the YouTube video the laryn joscopy of Will

719
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:49,960
Ramos. They actually put a camera
down his throat and had him scream while

720
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:55,840
it was in there to see the
movement of the vocal chords. Interesting if

721
01:13:55,840 --> 01:14:00,159
they could figure anything out, um
oh wow it you know, it's just

722
01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:03,439
really as long as you follow that
technique. I mean so far for me,

723
01:14:04,159 --> 01:14:08,159
like using the technique and the breath
control that I've learned, I can

724
01:14:08,319 --> 01:14:11,520
kind of just sit there all day. No, couldn't do it because you

725
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,520
don't get a sore throat or anything
or any Oh excellent. That's that was

726
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:16,880
the most important part. When I
went to my extreme vocal coach. When

727
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:20,239
I was looking for one, I
identified, you know, okay, who

728
01:14:20,319 --> 01:14:27,159
in the scene is doing this and
and you know what other abilities that they

729
01:14:27,239 --> 01:14:31,000
have. So I found someone that
has amazing cleans as well as really really

730
01:14:31,199 --> 01:14:34,720
like super technical narly screams. Um, you know. And I'm like,

731
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:38,399
Okay, well, if this guy's
been doing this for for as long as

732
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:43,279
he has, he probably knows something. And he's an established vocal coach as

733
01:14:43,319 --> 01:14:46,199
well, been doing it for years. So oh excellent. So shout out

734
01:14:46,239 --> 01:14:50,279
to uh, shout up to mister
Black Kyle Kyle Farrar. He's in late

735
01:14:50,399 --> 01:14:54,479
nine, um, a few other
bands out of the Boston area. Okay,

736
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:58,840
check out his stuff. He's amazing, cool cool. Um. Now

737
01:14:59,239 --> 01:15:01,439
you write most of them lyrics?
Yeah, yeah, So for the most

738
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:04,560
part, um, you know,
Matt handles most of the music, and

739
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:08,840
then I'll come in, I'll do
a draft of lyrics. Um. You

740
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,880
know, if there's any that I'm
not kind of catching a vibe on or

741
01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:15,279
getting inspiration on, um, you
know, then Matt and Bobby will kind

742
01:15:15,279 --> 01:15:17,079
of sit down and work through through
those, um you know, or for

743
01:15:17,199 --> 01:15:20,560
some of Bobby's parts, um,
you know, definitely like I'm like,

744
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:24,319
okay, you know, I have
an idea here, but I'm not the

745
01:15:24,359 --> 01:15:28,319
one who's actually screaming these parts.
Oh okay. Yeah, So you know,

746
01:15:28,319 --> 01:15:30,000
if there's any particularly challenging parts,
I'll they'll kind of sit down and

747
01:15:30,079 --> 01:15:33,199
write it and then you know,
we'll we'll get together and go over any

748
01:15:33,239 --> 01:15:36,479
corrections or um. You know,
even as we're recording, we'll go,

749
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:40,600
Okay, it doesn't sound the way
we thought it was going to right,

750
01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:44,119
so we'll you know, do a
little session and you know, oh,

751
01:15:44,239 --> 01:15:45,880
this word doesn't work as well in
this part. You know, we don't

752
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:48,680
like the flow, we don't like
the um you know, the meter of

753
01:15:49,079 --> 01:15:51,800
of the phrasing or whatever. So
we'll change it up a little bit.

754
01:15:53,159 --> 01:15:55,880
Um. But yeah, for the
most part, you know, I would

755
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:58,880
say, like, you know,
do do eighty to eighty five percent of

756
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:02,880
the drafts become final lyrics for the
songs. And you had mentioned for that

757
01:16:03,119 --> 01:16:09,000
song Love and Understanding, Uh,
you would mentioned there was more to say

758
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,800
about the lyrics to that that they
were very personal to you and yeah,

759
01:16:13,079 --> 01:16:16,720
um, you know, and really
for you know, anyone that has experienced

760
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:20,600
loss, which is most of humanity, you know, if you're in tune

761
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:25,439
to that and you spend time,
um, you know, dissecting your thoughts

762
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:30,119
and and trying to better understand grief
and loss and everything that comes along with

763
01:16:30,239 --> 01:16:34,239
it. Um. You know,
uh, I A lot of that was

764
01:16:34,359 --> 01:16:38,600
sparked more in me last year.
Um, you know, had a really

765
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:43,960
tough death of one of my friends, very prematurely. Um, and it

766
01:16:44,159 --> 01:16:46,439
just it was you know, I
have been playing in the scene for a

767
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:51,039
long long time and been wanting to, you know, do promotion, and

768
01:16:51,319 --> 01:16:56,079
I get a good sense of joy
and accomplishment from helping and serving others.

769
01:16:56,319 --> 01:16:58,439
Yeah, so I figured, you
know what, like, you know,

770
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:02,600
why why am I waiting? You
know, they all the cliches you only

771
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:06,239
live once or you know, your
life's too short whenever you want to say,

772
01:17:06,319 --> 01:17:11,640
but it's true. Yeah, those
are cliches because they are true as

773
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:15,279
they are, they come back again
and again. So I said, I'm

774
01:17:15,319 --> 01:17:18,119
done waiting. You know, I'm
gonna jump into this and you know,

775
01:17:18,319 --> 01:17:25,520
put my energy into creating something positive, you know, using those energies that

776
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:29,319
I that are inside of me,
that are battling every day and saying I'm

777
01:17:29,319 --> 01:17:32,239
gonna I'm gonna do something good,
you know, instead of being overcome by

778
01:17:32,279 --> 01:17:35,000
any of that sadness or that grief. I'm gonna do something good. Yeah,

779
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:39,960
I'm gonna help people, you know, realize their dreams, achieve my

780
01:17:40,119 --> 01:17:43,159
dreams. Um. You know,
I like to say, if if one

781
01:17:43,239 --> 01:17:45,399
of us succeeds, we all succeed
together. Yeah, And that's true of

782
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:48,760
the scene right now. You know, very very happy to be part of

783
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:54,840
the local scene New Hampshire, New
England. That's things are popping off again

784
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:58,880
and it's awesome. Oh, there's
so much great talent around here. Absolutely.

785
01:17:59,279 --> 01:18:00,880
But yeah, I always I always
say, and you know this will

786
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:03,520
sound cliche, but it's true that
you know, if if you can take

787
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:06,680
any anything negative, you know,
grief or whatever it is, and like

788
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:10,159
you said, it's something we all
you know, it's universal. Everyone can

789
01:18:10,239 --> 01:18:13,600
relate to it. You know,
anytime you can take a negative experience or

790
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:17,199
negative feelings, trauma, whatever,
and and and do something positive with it,

791
01:18:17,319 --> 01:18:23,640
do something productive with it. Um, that's the best therapy you know

792
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:27,680
possible, you know, And because
it partly because not only are you creating

793
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:30,399
something, but also because it's not
only helping you, it's helping other people

794
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:33,960
who can take something from what you
do, you know, um uh,

795
01:18:34,119 --> 01:18:38,079
which which is wonderful and and that
that's great. You know you you help

796
01:18:38,119 --> 01:18:43,199
others with UM yeah. To tell
me more about the so the promotions part

797
01:18:43,239 --> 01:18:46,880
of things, yep, um so
I back in October, um I filed

798
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:53,239
for you know, my business application, um so I am an official booking

799
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:57,640
business. UM always forward events.
UM. You can find me always forward

800
01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,760
an h on pretty much Instagram,
Facebook, TikTok. All the socials,

801
01:19:01,079 --> 01:19:04,319
Yeah, still learning a lot of
the socials. UM got to be there

802
01:19:04,359 --> 01:19:09,880
at content but um yeah, I
mean my my main mission is to bring

803
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:14,880
the scene together, you know,
by providing more more kind of mid range

804
01:19:15,279 --> 01:19:18,479
UM venues for bands to play.
I mean, you know, back in

805
01:19:18,520 --> 01:19:21,119
the day, obviously I was playing
in the scene and uh you know a

806
01:19:21,199 --> 01:19:25,960
lot of times it's you're you're breaking
your back to play bars for ten people,

807
01:19:26,520 --> 01:19:30,319
um, you know, playing backyard
shows, playing basements, which is

808
01:19:30,399 --> 01:19:31,880
great, um, you know,
and there's a lot of bands that thrive

809
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:36,399
in that scenario. And the IY
scene is definitely alive again and it's a

810
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:42,359
necessary party. But I'm trying to
you know, there's a lot of people

811
01:19:42,399 --> 01:19:45,800
that are doing that part of it. Um, So I'm trying to hit

812
01:19:45,840 --> 01:19:48,600
a market where, you know,
trying to get into those one hundred and

813
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:55,600
fifty three hundred, five hundred seat
venues you know where normally they're booking you

814
01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:59,239
know, they're big enough for they're
equipped to book regional or national acts sometimes,

815
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,119
but getting the local bands that stage
time, um, you know,

816
01:20:02,640 --> 01:20:06,680
uh, bringing them you know,
out of the basements a bit um and

817
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:10,760
trying to get them to a broader
audience. Yeah, you know, and

818
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:14,800
just I know, you know,
the times I got to play theaters and

819
01:20:15,279 --> 01:20:17,239
you know, big events spaces back
in the day, it was awesome.

820
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:23,560
Okay, like now we're talking yeah
yeah, so yeah so and just bringing

821
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:26,439
people around that, you know,
getting the word out about local music and

822
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:30,760
um, you know, trying to
help people realize their dreams. It's interesting

823
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:35,039
how things have changed. Um And
you know, it's kind of um,

824
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:39,880
some of it's In some ways,
I think all of this is more challenging

825
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:42,560
and in some ways it's easier,
and I think it probably kind of balances

826
01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:45,159
out. I think it's it's it
maybe a wash, but you know,

827
01:20:45,239 --> 01:20:48,159
there was a time when, um, well it's always been hard, like

828
01:20:48,239 --> 01:20:53,520
if you're a local band or or
a solo artist and you're especially if you're

829
01:20:54,199 --> 01:20:57,159
in the early stages of your career
and you don't really have much of a

830
01:20:57,239 --> 01:21:00,880
following and you're you know, you're
you're trying to get out there. Um,

831
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:05,640
obviously it's it's very challenging. And
I think that over time what has

832
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:10,079
happened is as you know, like
you referred to social media, Um,

833
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,239
now we're in an era. You
know, like I think back to when

834
01:21:14,279 --> 01:21:16,239
I started in the scene, and
you know, now I you know,

835
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:19,520
my my involvement in the scene now
is really interviewing people in the scene.

836
01:21:19,520 --> 01:21:23,439
I don't I don't play in a
in a band currently and really wouldn't have

837
01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:29,079
time too. But um but I
feel like now it's so there's a I

838
01:21:29,159 --> 01:21:32,199
think there's a larger challenge and it's
all it's all been brought on by the

839
01:21:32,279 --> 01:21:36,600
Internet. So the part that I
think is harder, just from my perspective,

840
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:40,560
and again I'm sort of on the
outside looking in. The part that's

841
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:48,239
harder is you're you're competing with so
much more than you were before social media

842
01:21:48,359 --> 01:21:53,479
and all the streaming services and all
of that, because you know, before

843
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,000
you were competing with everybody else in
the scene. You know, you might

844
01:21:56,039 --> 01:21:58,800
have a show somewhere and somebody else
has a show, and you know,

845
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:01,760
you're trying to get people to go
to your show. Now you're competing with

846
01:22:02,399 --> 01:22:08,119
you're competing with Netflix, and you're
competing with somebody who you know, maybe

847
01:22:08,159 --> 01:22:11,520
somebody just wants to watch TikTok videos
or they're streaming on on Twitch or whatever

848
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:15,279
it is. You're competing with so
much more now, more than ever.

849
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:23,119
On the other hand, because of
social media and other elements of the Internet,

850
01:22:23,319 --> 01:22:27,920
it's also easier than ever to promote
what you do into market what you

851
01:22:28,079 --> 01:22:31,800
do um because you know, back
in the day, it was you know,

852
01:22:33,079 --> 01:22:40,079
I remember specifically getting yelled at by
police here in Manchester for stapling flyers

853
01:22:40,159 --> 01:22:42,760
to a telephone pole, you know
what I mean. And we've all you

854
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,319
know, we've all either been there
or watched it happened to other people,

855
01:22:46,239 --> 01:22:50,800
you know. And of course today, if I were actively promoting a show,

856
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:54,239
it wouldn't even occur to me to
bother you know what I mean,

857
01:22:54,319 --> 01:22:58,800
Why why would I even bother stapling
a flyer to a telephone pole, I'm

858
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:00,439
gonna, you know, post something
online. So I think it's it's on

859
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:04,960
one hand, there's more that you're
competing with than ever, but at the

860
01:23:05,039 --> 01:23:11,079
same time, because of that,
there's also more opportunities than ever to promote

861
01:23:11,079 --> 01:23:14,039
what you do. So if you
can find a way to cut through all

862
01:23:14,119 --> 01:23:17,600
the noise, um if if you
know you can, you can actually if

863
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:23,319
you do it right, you can
build a fan base pretty quickly if if

864
01:23:23,399 --> 01:23:26,239
you do it right, if you
if you figure it out, which it

865
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:29,479
sounds like you've you've done to some
extent. I mean, you've had some

866
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:33,520
success, so you know it's always
it's always a slog but um, you

867
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:38,680
know, but you know you're you're
making it happen. Yeah, and you

868
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:42,840
know again it's it's I guess I
should you know, it should definitely be

869
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:45,079
happy too because I just started in
October and to have a success that I've

870
01:23:45,119 --> 01:23:48,840
had um so far has been really
great. Um, you know, I

871
01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:55,560
definitely need to find a way to
get to more um more I more non

872
01:23:55,680 --> 01:24:00,600
band members right right, you know
those connections are amazing thing. And obviously

873
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:03,119
you know I've got tons of bands
that are looking for shows and and you

874
01:24:03,199 --> 01:24:06,079
know, without them, obviously I
wouldn't be doing what I'm doing right.

875
01:24:06,239 --> 01:24:10,840
Um. But at the same time, they're not necessarily paying to go to

876
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:13,760
a show every weekend. You know, they're playing a show, or they're

877
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:17,880
practicing, or they're working their actual
job and trying to get paid. You

878
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:21,600
know. Again, local musicians don't
really get paid. Um. You know,

879
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:27,159
it's another thing that I'm trying to
to change. Um. Definitely bid

880
01:24:27,199 --> 01:24:30,960
off a little more than I could
choo. Early on my first few shows,

881
01:24:30,039 --> 01:24:33,960
I was paying bands out of my
pocket to you know, book the

882
01:24:34,039 --> 01:24:36,520
venue and all stuff. So that
was a that was a good learning lesson

883
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:41,119
to me and for anyone else who's
thinking of doing it. Um. You

884
01:24:41,239 --> 01:24:44,279
know, as much as you want
to go from zero to one hundred and

885
01:24:44,319 --> 01:24:47,600
twenty, uh, it's not sustainable. Um Less. You know you're gonna

886
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,720
get the people in the door.
So you know, if you're gonna take

887
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:55,439
a risk, try to make sure
that it's the least risky risk you can

888
01:24:55,520 --> 01:24:58,239
take. That you're gonna get a
band that's gonna draw you know a lot

889
01:24:58,279 --> 01:25:01,359
of people, U know, So
kind of dialed things back and looked at

890
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:05,319
my business practices and again took it
as learning experience and said, Okay,

891
01:25:05,319 --> 01:25:09,760
I got to modify things for now
to get myself in a better position to

892
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:14,600
start building that momentum, and then
you know, then identify a point where

893
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:16,119
making you know, make that the
target is. Eventually I'll be able to

894
01:25:16,399 --> 01:25:20,039
give bands guarantees again, or I
might be able to target you know,

895
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:25,600
a regional act coming through on a
tour or something and get some locals on

896
01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:28,399
it. Um. You know that
definitely seems to be more of the move

897
01:25:29,159 --> 01:25:32,960
right now. Um. So yeah, doing it doing a lot of a

898
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:35,760
lot of business research and trying to
trying to figure out where I'm gonna,

899
01:25:36,119 --> 01:25:40,640
you know, make the most impact, and so much of being an entrepreneur,

900
01:25:41,279 --> 01:25:45,640
whether it's in the music industry or
or in anything really is it Unfortunately

901
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:51,000
involves losing money. Yeah, Um, but it's j j Fed says in

902
01:25:51,039 --> 01:25:56,640
the chat room, sounds like you
should do birthdays. How about you paying

903
01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:59,439
Jake. I don't know if he'll
pay you, but I do not,

904
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:01,840
but I do know this. Are
you interested in getting into an ice bath?

905
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:08,079
Because today today I would be yeah, because he's he's very into the

906
01:26:08,119 --> 01:26:11,520
ice bath. Okay, he didn't
ask that question yet, but that's that

907
01:26:11,680 --> 01:26:15,119
question always comes up too. He
posts on Facebook every day. You know,

908
01:26:15,199 --> 01:26:16,800
he's he's in an ice bath and
he and he loves it. Wouldn't

909
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:20,600
be for me. I'd be worried
about hypothermia. But but apparently it's it's

910
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:24,319
very healthy. Yeah, I guess
it's I have heard as much. Yes,

911
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:26,960
it's a it's a healthy thing to
do. But uh, yeah,

912
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:30,159
it wouldn't be for me. We've
got Sam Beechard as with us. What

913
01:26:30,399 --> 01:26:34,920
what came first for you? The
creative aspect of it being a musician or

914
01:26:35,199 --> 01:26:41,840
or wanting to to promote or yeah, definitely music. Um, you know

915
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:45,840
I started back in middle of the
high school really because fourteen fifteen sixteen,

916
01:26:46,359 --> 01:26:50,000
um, you know, started in
some local bands had you know, so

917
01:26:50,159 --> 01:26:54,960
horns become halos. Um. I
met Matt in college and we started playing

918
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:58,560
together. And then I had another
band that was my first high school band

919
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:01,439
were Kilbird Shadows, break us O
BRUO, A bunch of different names,

920
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:04,920
a couple different vocalists, Shadows break
us as a cool name. Thank you.

921
01:27:05,119 --> 01:27:10,479
The half the funny, the most
funny, funniest part about that is

922
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:15,039
that through all of our iterations.
No one in the band ever liked all

923
01:27:15,199 --> 01:27:18,640
not everyone liked the name at any
you know. That was always our joke

924
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,239
was like, you know, okay, like four out of five would be

925
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:24,560
good with it, but then it
would be one person. It's like,

926
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:28,279
that name's so stupid. Why do
you guys like that? And uh,

927
01:27:28,399 --> 01:27:30,000
you know we we kind of been
playing off and on too. Um.

928
01:27:30,159 --> 01:27:33,359
You know, it's more of like
a hard hard rock, experimental kind of

929
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:38,800
metal inspired, um, you know
inspired band. Yeah. So we played

930
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,800
a lot in Manchester back in the
day, played Roccos, played Millies.

931
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:45,279
Those places were around je Yeah,
way backs, way backs. Um,

932
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:49,319
we may we may have crossed paths
at some point. Yeah, we probably

933
01:27:49,399 --> 01:27:54,399
did because I played all those places. And yeah, well Roccos are remember

934
01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:59,039
vividly the Wall of Mirrors. What
a weird thing that was. Yep.

935
01:28:00,239 --> 01:28:01,640
But I mean again, you know, but it was cool. I mean

936
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:05,720
a lot of the bands that grew
up in that time are now back in

937
01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:10,319
the scene. Yeah, and they're
there's that with the rebirth of the scene.

938
01:28:10,399 --> 01:28:14,760
They're also they have new projects out, they're reviving old projects where some

939
01:28:14,920 --> 01:28:16,279
of them or even have been still
going. You know, there's a handful

940
01:28:16,319 --> 01:28:18,479
of bands that I see that are
coming back to the area that's like,

941
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:23,279
oh wow, Like you guys were
playing fifteen years ago. Yeah, when

942
01:28:23,319 --> 01:28:26,079
the scene blew up, and you're
still doing it. They they hung on

943
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:30,399
somehow. So I've run into that
where uh, bands that I would consider

944
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:34,079
kind of my peers in terms of
just uh they were like really active at

945
01:28:34,119 --> 01:28:38,560
the same time I was really active, where I'll I'll see something on social

946
01:28:38,600 --> 01:28:42,119
media and I'm like, oh,
they're they're still playing. Yeah, I

947
01:28:42,159 --> 01:28:44,760
didn't. I didn't know that,
or are they you know, had gotten

948
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:47,720
back together, and it's it's it's
kind of kind of funny. It's uh

949
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:53,920
like I saw something recently, if
it was a Crown Victor, pro Prospect

950
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:56,680
Hill or somebody, and I was
like, oh, they're still doing stuff.

951
01:28:56,720 --> 01:29:00,880
Cool, yeah, respect Hill still
playing. Yeah. I didn't that

952
01:29:00,199 --> 01:29:02,760
must have been the band I'm thinking
of then, because I'd seen something recently

953
01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:08,319
and I was like uh uh oh
wow, and I and I had seen

954
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:12,319
uh, I had seen Adam at
uh somewhere, but I didn't. I

955
01:29:12,359 --> 01:29:15,840
didn't realize the band was still active. And I was like, that's great,

956
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:17,800
you know, I'm I mean,
I I felt kind of like how

957
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,439
did I not know that? But
then but then again, it's like I'm

958
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:24,760
in this weird position where it's like, you know, I'm of the scene

959
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:27,199
but not in the scene. Or
I'm in the scene but not of the

960
01:29:27,239 --> 01:29:29,680
scene. How would that work exactly? You know what I mean, Like

961
01:29:29,720 --> 01:29:30,920
I'm still a part of it,
but I'm not really a part of it.

962
01:29:31,199 --> 01:29:35,279
Yeah, yeah, you know,
well, I mean, you know

963
01:29:35,399 --> 01:29:39,000
again, this is you know,
I want to take a second to thank

964
01:29:39,039 --> 01:29:44,119
you for for doing this. Local
bands anything for free is is Um,

965
01:29:44,239 --> 01:29:47,800
you know that that's there. You're
not gonna not jump on that. Yeah,

966
01:29:48,039 --> 01:29:50,960
you know, to provide free promotion
to local bands is amazing. Um,

967
01:29:51,039 --> 01:29:54,840
So thank you for you know,
to do that. Absolutely glad to

968
01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:59,239
do it. I'm seeing a lot
more uh you know, places jump jumping

969
01:29:59,319 --> 01:30:01,920
up, a lot more podcasts and
internet radio stations that are coming back,

970
01:30:02,159 --> 01:30:05,000
yeah, which is very exciting.
Um. So hopefully you know, we

971
01:30:05,079 --> 01:30:08,880
can just continue to build the network
and yeah, you know, get people

972
01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:12,920
talking about local bands again. Absolutely, there's so much great talent around here.

973
01:30:13,079 --> 01:30:15,079
It's incredible. And to people out
there listening, if you haven't go

974
01:30:15,199 --> 01:30:19,600
to a local show, pick one, pick one, you reach out to

975
01:30:20,039 --> 01:30:23,680
one of the bands and see what
genre they are, see if you might

976
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:26,880
dig it. There's something out there
for everybody right now. Um, you

977
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:29,359
know, and there's a lot of
talent. There's a lot of talent and

978
01:30:29,439 --> 01:30:31,920
a lot of bands working really hard
to to put on good shows. We

979
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:35,840
should mention too. I'm not the
um this is not the only show that

980
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:41,000
that also spotlights uh local music here. Um, I don't know if you're

981
01:30:41,039 --> 01:30:44,000
familiar with do you know Rob as
a veto, I don't believe I do.

982
01:30:44,159 --> 01:30:46,039
You'll probably meet him at some point. He so he does a show

983
01:30:46,560 --> 01:30:50,680
also called Granite State of Mind.
But yeah, but he's he's been doing

984
01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:54,880
it for a long time too,
and and uh yeah you should connect with

985
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:59,119
him or um but uh yeah,
so he features a lot of really great

986
01:30:59,159 --> 01:31:02,079
local music. Um, and he
has you know, he has bands coming

987
01:31:02,079 --> 01:31:05,720
in play. And but with the
shows that he does at Pembroke City Limits,

988
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:10,159
it's it's like he can have a
full band come into a full set

989
01:31:10,239 --> 01:31:14,359
electric and you know here in studio
we kind of keep it acoustic because it's

990
01:31:14,399 --> 01:31:17,439
not you know, this room isn't
really designed for for a full loud band.

991
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:20,119
But um, yeah, so Rob
does a lot and and yeah,

992
01:31:20,159 --> 01:31:23,960
you're right, I mean there's a
lot happening, you know. And and

993
01:31:24,079 --> 01:31:27,479
again with the internet too, I
think it's it's easier than ever to put

994
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:30,760
things out there. You know,
it's just a matter of of finding ways

995
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:36,399
to cut through the noise. Um. I mean in terms of that so

996
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:41,640
and we kind of talked about that
cutting through the noise with with with music,

997
01:31:41,800 --> 01:31:45,840
but with the projects musical projects.
But as far as promoting the shows

998
01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:47,640
that you do, I mean,
how do you how do you figure that

999
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:51,680
part out? How to cut through
the noise if you're promoting a specific event,

1000
01:31:53,159 --> 01:31:56,039
and again you've got you know,
there's a million other things online that

1001
01:31:56,319 --> 01:31:59,399
you've got to compete with. I
mean, do you have um, do

1002
01:31:59,399 --> 01:32:02,359
you have a way you approach that
or without giving away any trade secrets necessarily,

1003
01:32:04,039 --> 01:32:06,520
I'm not doing really you know,
maybe it may it's part of the

1004
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:11,399
problem, not doing too much original, right you know, but uh yeah,

1005
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:14,560
I mean, you know, still
still something that I'm working on figuring

1006
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:16,239
out, you know, building that
network. Um. You know, I've

1007
01:32:16,279 --> 01:32:20,399
got a lot of you know,
connections with bands and and still trying to

1008
01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:24,800
get you know, the view out
to the broader audience. UM. So

1009
01:32:25,119 --> 01:32:28,199
you know, part of part of
what I need to start doing more of

1010
01:32:28,399 --> 01:32:31,119
and making more time for is again
getting out to shows, um, you

1011
01:32:31,199 --> 01:32:34,239
know, getting out too shows,
getting face time with people, um,

1012
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:36,720
you know, and meeting them face
to face, letting them know what I

1013
01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:41,119
do, um, you know,
and then just trying to network with other

1014
01:32:41,239 --> 01:32:45,920
industry you know, opportunities you know, radio stations, production companies. UM.

1015
01:32:46,239 --> 01:32:50,359
You know, I have, I've
fairly big long term plans you know,

1016
01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:55,960
once the booking starts to catch on. Um, I have no shortage

1017
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,520
of things I want to do.
Yeah. Um, you know, it's

1018
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:00,920
just finding the time and and being
able to do them effectively. Yeah.

1019
01:33:01,239 --> 01:33:04,520
So yeah, the promotion has been
been difficult, you know, and not

1020
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:09,880
something I've really done before. And
you know, kind of just putting stuff

1021
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:13,479
out to the internet audience is you
know, I gotta find more creative ways

1022
01:33:13,479 --> 01:33:16,319
to do that because get some visibility. But definitely, you know, local

1023
01:33:16,399 --> 01:33:20,039
turnout has been a bit of a
challenge. Um. You know, so

1024
01:33:20,159 --> 01:33:25,760
I think I gotta target do some
more targeted promotion within where I'm trying to

1025
01:33:26,079 --> 01:33:30,960
have the shows and and you know, work with you know, local recreation

1026
01:33:30,039 --> 01:33:33,039
departments, communities and stuff to get
the word out. You know, obviously

1027
01:33:33,119 --> 01:33:36,520
Facebook is one of the biggest tools. There's a lot of groups on Facebook

1028
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:40,479
that are pretty big. True,
you know that you can post stuff too,

1029
01:33:40,880 --> 01:33:44,319
but everyone else is using it too, right you know. Um,

1030
01:33:44,680 --> 01:33:48,119
so you know, just having really
nice, clean looking flyers. They have

1031
01:33:48,159 --> 01:33:50,840
a good my own you know,
kind of branded design. Um. My

1032
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:55,840
wife is an amazing graphic designer.
She does for her job and been uh

1033
01:33:56,199 --> 01:33:59,039
nice enough to help me out um
in that regard. So she's kind of

1034
01:33:59,119 --> 01:34:02,319
my my graphics and marketing expert.
Um. You know. So that's just

1035
01:34:02,399 --> 01:34:05,119
the first part of it is I
kind of have my branding down, yeah,

1036
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:10,680
and now just trying to get get
that visible. Oh yeah, gotcha.

1037

01:34:32,159 --> 01:34:35,560
couple of bands, and I,
you know, I can't play guitar or

1043
01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:41,720
anything like I was brass a brass
instrument person and I used to do a

1044
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:45,439
lot of sound for them and they
said, well, we can't pay you.

1045
01:34:45,600 --> 01:34:49,479
I said, you don't have to

happy. You know there you go, Yeah, and just promote him.

1048
01:34:58,039 --> 01:35:00,039
And I promote him all over the
place, like um, my old,

1049
01:35:01,039 --> 01:35:08,079
my old neighbor, m Tyler Riggierio, he was on I got him to

1050
01:35:08,159 --> 01:35:12,880
go on as Vito Show and he
was kind of shy about it. And

1051
01:35:12,960 --> 01:35:15,800
he's good. And now he has
UM. He's doing his own thing and

1052
01:35:16,079 --> 01:35:23,359
he's got um. He joined a
group called Nostalgic Lane, Nostalgia Lane,

1053
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:26,720
and they're gonna be playing at UM
They're gonna play at the Shots game this

1054
01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:29,880
weekend. So I got him.
I got him out there, and I

1055
01:35:30,039 --> 01:35:33,600
promote I promote any any musicians,
because there is there's a lot of talent

1056
01:35:33,720 --> 01:35:38,560
around here and no one seems to
really you know, know it. And

1057
01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:43,720
of all gendres too, So do
you know them? Sam? Very impressive

1058
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:45,960
guests. Gary, So that name
is very familiar. I think I have

1059
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:48,319
an idea of who that is,
but can you tell me what their project

1060
01:35:48,479 --> 01:35:51,760
is. I don't want to misspeak
and say there's something they're not Nostalgia Lane.

1061
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:57,279
Yeah, they're doing all They're doing
all the covers now, yep,

1062
01:35:57,520 --> 01:36:01,479
is it? Are they doing food
Fighters covers? They're doing everything? Okay,

1063
01:36:01,560 --> 01:36:04,520
everything there's it's probably the same band, but it's a band. I

1064
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:10,159
know, uh that a few people
from some area bands, one from Manchester

1065
01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:15,319
that they are Tyler. Tyler was
doing his own stuff and he's doing like

1066
01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:18,720
some and he's got some other he
does some some projects on his own now

1067
01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:24,279
and and he works, he has
a job, he's you know, he's

1068
01:36:24,359 --> 01:36:27,840
electrician. But I promote him because
he's a real good singer. He's going

1069
01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:32,039
to try to teach me how to
play guitar. Who fart? So I

1070
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:38,000
can just see that. But he's, um, he's out there and um

1071
01:36:38,239 --> 01:36:42,399
yeah he was kind of afraid to
go out. But I promoted him because

1072
01:36:42,399 --> 01:36:45,600
I love music. Maddy knows how
I love music, so yes, yes,

1073
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:49,560
and but he's out there doing good
and like yourself, you know,

1074
01:36:49,720 --> 01:36:55,119
promoting I just said, you know, I by saying when I was a

1075
01:36:55,199 --> 01:36:58,039
kid, I'm not out there to
you know or seeing at a band.

1076
01:36:58,079 --> 01:37:00,520
I'm too old to do stuff like
that. But I just love promoting music

1077
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:03,800
for everybody. And we have so
many talented people, Like I said,

1078
01:37:04,239 --> 01:37:09,840
so many talented people. Absolutely,
they just you know, they've got to

1079
01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:12,720
get the word out there. You
know. They go to Schafsky and they

1080
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:15,119
play the Chosky in or they play
you know, different places. Um,

1081
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:19,680
he's going to finally play there.
That's like it's the top he taught one

1082
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:24,760
of his top lists because he usually
goes to, uh, what's the place

1083
01:37:24,800 --> 01:37:27,880
to go to? Whatever he played, he plays there once in a while.

1084
01:37:28,199 --> 01:37:31,079
Yeah, but he plays his gendre
music is kind of like country but

1085
01:37:31,239 --> 01:37:38,920
not plan country and um nostalgia Layne
is all. Um. They're doing a

1086
01:37:39,039 --> 01:37:45,239
lot of their project right now,
is doing a lot of different different songs,

1087
01:37:45,359 --> 01:37:47,680
different covers of all different bands.
But it's rock, you know,

1088
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:51,880
it's not just uh but yeah,
I think you're I think they're doing some

1089
01:37:51,960 --> 01:37:57,840
of that stuff. But he's going

01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:24,000
the promotions now is getting dates to
book bands. Yeah. Um you know

1114
01:39:24,079 --> 01:39:26,640
a lot of a lot of venues
either have somebody on staff or they have

1115
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:30,159
their own process or whatever, um
you know, or I might be booking

1116
01:39:30,239 --> 01:39:33,039
genres that they're not interested in or
right you know. Um so that that's

1117
01:39:33,079 --> 01:39:38,039
been a little bit tough. Um
but you know, uh speaking of shows,

1118

you know, and we're running a
little bit out of time here,

1167
01:42:39,199 --> 01:42:42,159
music. He listens to w U
n H. He loves college radio.

1168
01:42:42,279 --> 01:42:45,479

know, most people they get stuck.

1171
01:42:49,600 --> 01:42:54,279
Like it's different for everybody, but
like people hit a certain age and then

1172
01:42:54,319 --> 01:42:57,880
it's like they don't want to hear
anything new. Yeah, and uh,

1173
01:42:58,119 --> 01:43:00,840
my dad's never been like that.
And I'm not like that either obviously,

1174
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:02,520

01:43:29,640 --> 01:43:32,439
it's like some sort of like house
DJ or something right, so it's very

1183
01:43:32,479 --> 01:43:38,520
different. And and because of spotifys
like regulations, there's a track that's on

1184
01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:42,399
our Spotify homepage that is that band
and we can't remove it. Oh no,

1185
01:43:42,880 --> 01:43:45,119
let's try a whole bunch of times, and they won't let us remove

1186
01:43:45,159 --> 01:43:47,199
it, So ignore that one.
But back in twenty fourteen, we have

1187
01:43:47,359 --> 01:43:51,359
put out an ep UM called stage
Es ep UM seven tracks about the five

1188
01:43:51,399 --> 01:43:57,359
Stages of grief as a concept album
that we did um and then just didn't

1189
01:43:57,399 --> 01:44:00,479
really you know, kind of came
and went um. But yeah, so

1190
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:02,720
we've all reunited again for the new
the new project, and uh, you

1191
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:05,439
know, we're we're looking to stay
this time and start playing out some shows

1192
01:44:05,600 --> 01:44:09,279
hopefully later this year. Any eta
by the way, on the album,

1193
01:44:09,560 --> 01:44:13,359
Uh, we're still looking at we
gotta get it mastered, and we're still

1194
01:44:13,399 --> 01:44:16,760
looking at doing potentially doing some videos
um around the singles that we're going to

1195
01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:21,279
release. Yeah, so I would
say late spring, early summer as a

1196
01:44:21,399 --> 01:44:27,920
tentative release and then astronomist Um.
You can find us at I believe it's

1197
01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:32,479
astronomist on Instagram. This is astronomist
on Facebook, okay, and and if

1198
01:44:32,560 --> 01:44:38,640
I'm wrong that then just type in
astronomist um. We have a gorgeous new

1199
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:42,359
logo that we got on there from
a graphic designer over in Europe UM that

1200
01:44:42,399 --> 01:44:45,000
we're pretty pleased with. And uh, you know, if you have in

1201
01:44:45,079 --> 01:44:47,640
trouble find them, just go to
my Instagram. I've got um my personal

1202
01:44:47,680 --> 01:44:51,359
one. I'm at Sam sings and
screams on Instagram. Um, so that

1203
01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:55,520
one links to both the bands.
Cool cool, by the way, I

1204
01:44:55,560 --> 01:44:58,439
love and understanding. Had that been
played on the radio yet Nope. So

1205
01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:01,000
we had two world radio premieres.
YEP, awesome. We love it.

1206
01:45:01,159 --> 01:45:04,079
We love it. Sam, Thank
you so much, Thank you for having

1207
01:45:04,079 --> 01:45:08,800
met associate it. This has been
wonderful. Sam Beecherd, Thank you again

1208
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:13,319
so much. From the studios of
w M n H ninety five point three

1209
01:45:13,439 --> 01:45:16,800
FM in downtown Manchester, New Hampshire. You are tuned in to the best

1210
01:45:17,239 --> 01:45:54,600
of Matt Connerton Unleashed. We have
a call. We'll grab this. Hi,

1211
01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:59,039
Welcome to Matt Connerton Unleashed. Who's
this? Hey, Matt Connerton,

1212
01:45:59,159 --> 01:46:02,840
how are you? Good? Familiar
voice, but I can't place it.

1213
01:46:04,079 --> 01:46:08,079
Oh that's good. I'm just letting
you know. I'm part of the pod

1214
01:46:08,159 --> 01:46:13,840
Awful cult. Oh yes, and
uh yes. Two musicians you have on

1215
01:46:14,359 --> 01:46:16,960
their names again, Weasel and the
Rists or something. This is live by

1216
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:20,199
the way, if you're gonna ask, uh, Weasel and the Rists.

1217
01:46:20,319 --> 01:46:25,039
That's a catchy name. Yeah,
I think any name would be better than

1218
01:46:25,159 --> 01:46:29,119
what they have now, because that
was the worst garbage I've ever heard ever.

1219
01:46:30,239 --> 01:46:33,640
Terrible. You usually have some pretty
terrible music on your radio show,

1220
01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:38,880
but this was hands down the worst. Just letting you know. Shout out

1221
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:43,560
from Manchester, New Hampshire. Okay, eat up that one. Oh my

1222
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:48,119
goodness. Well well that's not that's
not very nice. Well but Hughie,

1223
01:46:48,159 --> 01:46:50,479
I mean, I'm sure you're used
to not everyone. I mean, your

1224
01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:54,520
music is very unique. I'm sure
you're not used to everyone appreciating it.

1225
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:59,680
I'm almost certain that that was a
human. And my music is lizard music.

1226
01:47:00,159 --> 01:47:03,520
Ah, is that what it is? So I I originally when I

1227
01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:06,680
came up the concept for my music, Uh, it was something that I

1228
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:10,800
recorded because I said, you know, I enjoy these sounds. I want

1229
01:47:10,840 --> 01:47:15,119
to hear them on playback. I
like hearing them on playback. And uh,

1230
01:47:15,359 --> 01:47:17,000
and then my geckos started bobbing their
heads along to it, and I

1231
01:47:17,079 --> 01:47:23,199
go, oh, this is reptile
music. And is that the origin story

1232
01:47:23,279 --> 01:47:27,720
of Huey the Gecko. So,
Huey the Gecko is my first pet gecko

1233
01:47:28,199 --> 01:47:32,039
and uh he is, Um,
he doesn't lived with me right now,

1234
01:47:32,079 --> 01:47:34,920
but he's always with me in the
music. So you know, the current

1235
01:47:34,960 --> 01:47:39,880
gecko that I have is is Jackie. She's involved with me in the music

1236
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:43,760
too. So it's a it's a
family affair with the geckos. I see,

1237
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:53,680
I see it's January twenty seventh,
twenty twenty two. Oh, fairly

1238
01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:59,840
news, like a year ago,
a week ago. Um, and prior

1239
01:47:59,880 --> 01:48:01,560
to that, were you just going
by your real name? So I've been

1240
01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:06,520
Huey the Gecko for about five years
prior as an xbox handle. Oh really,

1241
01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:11,039
so like people that know me from
like whatever, like Vietnam or the

1242
01:48:11,159 --> 01:48:15,680
UK or elsewhere. Know me as
Huey the Gecko from Fortnite from you know,

1243
01:48:15,920 --> 01:48:20,399
different avenues. So I've been Huey
the Gecko over the airwaves in a

1244
01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:26,439
different personality trait, doing the gaming
thing. Do you um, do you

1245
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:30,279
stream on Twitch or anything with that? I was doing that prior to the

1246
01:48:30,399 --> 01:48:34,159
whole and then I had some gaming
footage for Fortnite and UH and Call of

1247
01:48:34,239 --> 01:48:39,600
Duty, and I'm transitioning away from
that kind of I closed the Twitch account,

1248
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:44,560
cleaning out some of the videos from
the YouTube that are gaming related and

1249
01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:49,119
moving fully towards the musician pursuit.
Okay, how do you if that's a

1250
01:48:49,159 --> 01:48:53,359
wise decision. I don't know if
the caller or the call thinks the same,

1251
01:48:53,520 --> 01:48:57,600
but yeah, that caller was not
a fan. But you know not,

1252
01:48:57,760 --> 01:48:59,960
like I said, I mean not, everyone's gonna gonna dig what you're

1253
01:49:00,039 --> 01:49:02,079
doing it. We either look to
induce that or we look to induce fear.

1254
01:49:02,359 --> 01:49:06,159
We'd like to like we like to
either get the look of like what

1255
01:49:06,399 --> 01:49:11,039
is that? Or like you know, I like that? So it's one

1256
01:49:11,119 --> 01:49:14,720
or the other, right, right, But you're not but you're not when

1257
01:49:14,760 --> 01:49:16,239
you say, induce fear You're not
You don't mean that in a threatening way.

1258
01:49:16,600 --> 01:49:20,880
Oh no, I mean fear like
gets you like, uh like concern,

1259
01:49:21,079 --> 01:49:24,560
more like when you're dancing on the
edge of a knife. It's funner

1260
01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:30,319
to watch you dance. I understand. I just don't want anyone from the

1261
01:49:30,359 --> 01:49:32,840
part more fun I don't think funners
are words. I don't want anyone from

1262
01:49:32,880 --> 01:49:36,159
the pot awful cult to think you're
trying to frighten them. That could be

1263
01:49:36,239 --> 01:49:40,319
no, no, no, disastrous. Uh well, very so, how

1264
01:49:40,359 --> 01:49:43,079
do you You probably hate this question, but I'll ask it. I mean,

1265
01:49:43,119 --> 01:49:45,159
how do you describe If someone asks
you someone who hasn't heard your music,

1266
01:49:45,239 --> 01:49:49,439
how do you what is lizard music? More words? Yeah, yeah,

1267
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:54,399
yeah, So it's like reggae,
hip hop, rap, electronic EDM,

1268
01:49:54,479 --> 01:49:58,800
funky country, psychedelic pop, spiritual
world music. But like a short

1269
01:49:58,880 --> 01:50:02,600
way of wrapping that up would be
that I'm experimental indie, okay, rather

1270
01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:06,920
than being indie where you're you know, indie pop or something like polished or

1271
01:50:08,039 --> 01:50:12,439
whatever, or do you have a
specific indie sound, I'm experimental indie where

1272
01:50:12,479 --> 01:50:15,960
it's like, yeah, we're still
working out the grooves and we're recording all

1273
01:50:15,039 --> 01:50:19,640
that because we want you to hear
that raw developmental process. Yeah, we

1274
01:50:19,760 --> 01:50:25,760
have a call. Hi, Welcome
to Matt Connerton unleashed. Do's this hello?

1275
01:50:27,359 --> 01:50:31,239
Hell? Hello? Hey? Yeah, I'm telling you you kids got

1276
01:50:31,319 --> 01:50:36,439
a crazy sound. I can see
it your name in lights. Oh.

1277
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:43,199
How often do you get homeless people
in your studio? You just give them

1278
01:50:43,279 --> 01:50:45,520
instruments and just tell them go crazy? Or is this the first time?

1279
01:50:45,640 --> 01:50:51,119
Things? Well? Now, well, in fairness, Hue, you do

1280
01:50:51,239 --> 01:50:55,279
have geckos, so I assume you
have a home. I hope you keep

1281
01:50:55,319 --> 01:50:59,359
them warm at home. So Gecko
Studios two point zero is now in Alexandria

1282
01:50:59,399 --> 01:51:00,760
and your Hampshire, which is a
little bit of a hike for the homeless.

1283
01:51:01,119 --> 01:51:06,039
But Gecko Studios one, what Geckos
Studios one was sorry about that.

1284
01:51:06,279 --> 01:51:12,199
Gecko Studios one was at thirty Putnam
Street, right across from CMC. So

1285
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:17,039
we have a nice pink bloid helicopter
sample from one of the medvacs with the

1286
01:51:17,079 --> 01:51:20,600
condenser mic. We're getting all kinds
of samples there, as you can imagine.

1287
01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:24,840
So, but we're out of that
location and we're up in the woods

1288
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:27,920
now. So now we're making our
music in the woods and we're bringing it

1289
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:31,760
into the city. Oh see,
so that's that's beautiful. That's so good

1290
01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:34,560
to have it in the woods where
no human could ever hear it. So

1291
01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:40,399
how often have you been disappointing your
dad? So the place out in the

1292
01:51:40,439 --> 01:51:45,439
woods is just me and my lizards. So it's perfect lizard music territory if

1293
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:47,960
you ever want to come down.
But does your dad go to? About

1294
01:51:48,039 --> 01:51:53,880
lizards is that they don't have the
ears that humans or other mammals do,

1295
01:51:54,079 --> 01:51:57,359
so they don't understand what you're doing. Yeah. They also don't have an

1296
01:51:57,479 --> 01:52:00,960
end of cannibinoidal system, so I
can't give them by acts And oh well,

1297
01:52:01,199 --> 01:52:03,840
oh that's good. What about a
job? Do they not have a

1298
01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:11,600
job like you? I actually work
in it, I meaning uh meaning I

1299
01:52:11,680 --> 01:52:16,680
fixed payroll and benefit reports. I
fixed payroll and benefit reports in terms of

1300
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:19,880
HR reports, but I do it
in the back end on Excel reporting And

1301
01:52:20,880 --> 01:52:26,039
yeah, I do I work by
day and reptilian. Wow that sounds almost

1302
01:52:26,119 --> 01:52:30,000
as boring and terrible as your music. God. Oh yes, so this

1303
01:52:30,760 --> 01:52:33,359
I think I think it's fair to
say this gentleman is not a fan.

1304
01:52:33,560 --> 01:52:36,600
But but that's okay. No,
I'm a huge fan. Oh, it's

1305
01:52:36,600 --> 01:52:42,199
glutton for punishment and terrible, terrible
music. Paul, I didn't mean to

1306
01:52:42,199 --> 01:52:45,319
be presumption, not exactly. Well, then it's just like Huey Lewis in

1307
01:52:45,399 --> 01:52:47,439
the news, but it's hue the
Gecko and it's on Apple Music Spotify,

1308
01:52:47,680 --> 01:52:51,640
except Hue and Lei. Huey Lewis
can play his instruments. That's pretty cool.

1309
01:52:53,479 --> 01:52:56,520
Well, Huey Lewis does play the
harmonica, that's true. But but

1310
01:52:56,640 --> 01:52:58,560
for all we know, perhaps you
do as well. Uh, Huie,

1311
01:52:59,359 --> 01:53:02,399
Yeah, I do. I do. Well, maybe we could jam sometimes.

1312
01:53:02,680 --> 01:53:05,199
Oh yes, dude, I'd love
to exist in front of a condenser

1313
01:53:05,239 --> 01:53:10,680
mic with you. Yeah, I
would. I would play the noose heck

1314
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:17,039
yeah, I'd love to hear the
sound effect of that. Wow, you're

1315
01:53:17,119 --> 01:53:21,520
you're a witty fun guy. Yeah. When I always say to my friends

1316
01:53:21,520 --> 01:53:25,039
when I die, I want to
go out with a nice poof like get

1317
01:53:25,319 --> 01:53:27,640
like if I get hit in traffic, it would be great if somebody has

1318
01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:30,000
a condenser mic or a digital audio
recorder right there. So what does what

1319
01:53:30,159 --> 01:53:33,359
does the gecko say back to you
when you tell him that? Seeing as

1320
01:53:33,399 --> 01:53:39,279
that's your only friends? So the
so the gecko is um it only communicates

1321
01:53:39,279 --> 01:53:42,239
in like chirps. And so I've
got a song, a Edim song where

1322
01:53:42,279 --> 01:53:45,720
you can hear it's it's chirps that's
sampled and you can check that out.

1323
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:50,359
All right, Oh cool? What's
your website? Oh so now you know

1324
01:53:50,399 --> 01:53:53,880
I don't have a dot com.
I'm sorry, but I'm at here with

1325
01:53:53,960 --> 01:53:57,720
a gecko on Instagram. You're easy
to find? Yes, yeah, I

1326
01:53:57,800 --> 01:54:00,159
have a lot of eating and beating
a Mese fans. They really liked easy

1327
01:54:00,199 --> 01:54:03,520
to find. I'm watching him right
now. Hey, hey, yeah,

1328
01:54:03,600 --> 01:54:06,680

dude? Hell yeah, brother, I

1329
01:54:06,720 --> 01:54:11,680

1330
01:54:11,720 --> 01:54:15,920
you interested in music? Was it
your traumatic childhood? Oh? I was

1331
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:18,680
in a SKA band called Skamehameha where
we made dragon ball Z songs and I

1332
01:54:18,760 --> 01:54:27,439
played the trombone. Oh yeah,
so the naturally into lizard music, you

1333
01:54:27,520 --> 01:54:30,279
know what I mean? It was
just a natural progression. Stepping stone that

1334
01:54:30,359 --> 01:54:35,600
one. Wow, A stepping stone
like like you between your two brothers.

1335
01:54:36,720 --> 01:54:41,640
Oh yeah, yeah, exactly,
I'm the middle brother. Oh heck yeah,

1336
01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:45,479
that's perfect timing. Man. My
older brother is a composter. He

1337
01:54:45,640 --> 01:54:48,920
runs a renewal, compost and garden
and compost. And that's local here in

1338
01:54:48,960 --> 01:54:54,560
Manchester Bedford area. So if you
need your compost done, new compost.

1339
01:54:56,199 --> 01:54:58,039
I don't know if you heard her. He was asking for his address.

1340
01:54:58,079 --> 01:55:00,119
I think you need some composting done
perhaps, but yeah, yeah, facebook,

1341
01:55:00,359 --> 01:55:04,760
um, renewal, garden and compost. Oh all right, there you

1342
01:55:04,840 --> 01:55:09,960
go, there you go. Wow. Well, this is that's very nice

1343
01:55:09,960 --> 01:55:13,159
to you to plug your brother's business. That is nice. This is this

1344
01:55:13,279 --> 01:55:15,880
is the easiest interview ever. I
just let the caller ask all these great

1345
01:55:15,960 --> 01:55:18,359
questions. Yeah, I've got one
more question. Yes, yes, go

1346
01:55:18,399 --> 01:55:28,600
ahead. Hello, what do you
do about dead air? Oh? Uh?

1347
01:55:30,600 --> 01:55:32,039
We had a good laugh there.
I thought I would have sampled that.

1348
01:55:32,239 --> 01:55:35,640
I'll tell you what, as a
fan of Ron Bennington, I can

1349
01:55:35,720 --> 01:55:40,000
tell you that dead air, when
used correctly, it can actually be Wait.

1350
01:55:40,119 --> 01:55:43,279
Wait, Matt, Matt, Matt, Yes, I wasn't asking you,

1351
01:55:43,359 --> 01:55:45,119
I'm asking the gecko. Oh I
apologize, yes, yes, Hughie,

1352
01:55:45,279 --> 01:55:49,680
I'm sorry I stole your question.
Jue the gecko, often described as

1353
01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:56,880
a creative I got one more yes, go ahead? Sorry no, sorry,

1354
01:55:56,920 --> 01:56:01,760
go ahead, I always say,
and Huey the gecko shedding and shredding

1355
01:56:02,800 --> 01:56:09,119
nocturnal after dark, preferably, Where
where does the shredding come in? Sorry?

1356
01:56:09,560 --> 01:56:12,760
Oh, the shredding. He's asking
about the shredding's playing? Who's playing?

1357
01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:15,920
What with which limb? That's that's
what. I can't tell. How

1358
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:20,920
many? How many limbs are playing
the instruments because it sounds like four feet

1359
01:56:21,760 --> 01:56:26,640
playing at once. How do you
do that? It's it's it can be

1360
01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:29,239
a band, but it's more of
an experience. It's more of a vibe.

1361
01:56:30,520 --> 01:56:34,199
That's not an answer. Well,
I don't have I have more.

1362
01:56:34,319 --> 01:56:36,439
I have more, you know.
Uh, let's see, I have a

1363
01:56:36,840 --> 01:56:42,079
You said how many limbs? Hmm, I've got two playing the guitar currently,

1364
01:56:42,680 --> 01:56:45,520
and I have not quite figured out
how to play. You use your

1365
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:49,199
hands to play at the guitar or
your feet? Yeah? Hands primarily?

1366
01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:57,840
Yeah? Wow, wow, primarily
hands hold me good. Well, if

1367
01:56:57,880 --> 01:57:00,279
you watch the video, you can
see how Huey's hands moving. Yeah.

1368
01:57:00,399 --> 01:57:04,079
I will never ever watch that video, but thank you for operating. Well,

1369
01:57:04,159 --> 01:57:06,279
I mean it will be available if
you'd like to see it. So

1370
01:57:06,439 --> 01:57:10,399
do you play? Do you play
gigs? Or do you mostly get run

1371
01:57:10,520 --> 01:57:15,279
out of town like a Frankenstein Oh
no, I play gigs. I'm so

1372
01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:18,479
sorry to hear that. Do they
pay you to play the gigs or do

1373
01:57:18,560 --> 01:57:23,600
they pay you to leave? So
yeah, no, they pay me at

1374
01:57:23,640 --> 01:57:29,880
the door, which is there's a
lot of really nice or the local New

1375
01:57:29,920 --> 01:57:31,359
Hampshire music scene. I can't say
enough good words about it. I would

1376
01:57:31,479 --> 01:57:34,560
name venues and names and whatnot,
but I don't want to. Yeah,

1377
01:57:35,800 --> 01:57:39,920
they don't, they don't. I
can attend free. They don't. They

1378
01:57:39,960 --> 01:57:42,720
don't run him out like a Frankenstein
at nine. If that's what you're thinking,

1379
01:57:42,880 --> 01:57:47,000
right, I mean you there's always
I'm thinking more like torches and pitchforks.

1380
01:57:47,199 --> 01:57:50,520
Oh see, that's exactly the thing. I would love to solicit that.

1381
01:57:50,800 --> 01:57:53,920
See, like he's saying, it's
like a monster. It's like,

1382
01:57:54,119 --> 01:57:57,039
like you said, like Frankenstein and
I'm the gecko and I like it.
