33
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,920
Gecko in the studio. Yeah,
very nice. Yeah you know, it's

34
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,560
interesting you don't hear a lot of
uh. I mean, I'm trying to

35
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,800
think of other artists who who do
anything kind of like where the bass is

36
00:05:56,879 --> 00:06:00,199
really the lead instrument, you know, because we're used to, obviously in

37
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,120
rock music the guitar be and the
lead instrument and so forth. But I

38
00:06:02,199 --> 00:06:05,399
mean, are there are there other
artists, maybe something that you're influenced by,

39
00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:09,800
who do that where the bass is
what is right out in front.

40
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:15,240
Yeah. Uh. My main influence
growing up is a square pusher. He's

41
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,040
a he's like a DJ from the
nineties. Okay. He played stuff like

42
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,639
gayfex twin kinda type of music,
but he was a bass player, so

43
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:28,639
he used to play like fretless jazz
over techno and then he started playing uh

44
00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:31,519
slat bass and stuff over and just
he just went crazy and it was a

45
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,560
huge inspiration to me. Yeah yeah, yeah, so uh yeah, that's

46
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,040
uh, that's I do it out
of necessity, and I'm a bass player,

47
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,279
not a guitar player, and uh, you know, I'm all by

48
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,079
myself most of the time, so
I you know, I use the tools

49
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,680
that I have or or nothing gets
done and on a track like that,

50
00:06:48,759 --> 00:06:51,160
are you doing everything. You're doing
everything? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

51
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:57,759
so I play keyboards and all the
drums are programmed and uh yeah, you

52
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,720
know, I do the sense and
all the hand hand tools, and of

53
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,399
course the bass and now I'm doing
a lot of uh distortion in my bass,

54
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:11,000
which I've never done before really yeahah
never, I've never used distortion.

55
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,519
So this is the first on this
album. Yeah, Now is the Is

56
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,319
the entire album just you? Or
do you? Well? No, there's

57
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:21,519
I mean most of it's just me. There's no there's no guest musicians.

58
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,759
Uh, there's a couple of songs. Hugh's on Mushroom Dust with me.

59
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,759
He does vocals on there, and
I got like seven people on the first

60
00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:33,920
track doing gang vocals. Okay,
and that's it, you know, And

61
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,600
then I did I did everything else. Wow? Is it? Is this

62
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,680
the first full album where you've done
everything? No? Well, I mean,

63
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,720
uh, okay, So like my
first couple of albums, I had

64
00:07:46,639 --> 00:07:53,839
guest musicians. Yeah. Uh.
Huey was on a song on on Destroyer

65
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:59,759
and uh you were also on a
song on Zero Acid Burn, my techno

66
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,879
album. He was on there.
Okay, what was that one that was

67
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,800
relaxed? Kid? It's just acid
name of the song. Every every song

68
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:15,720
it's that album's all acid techno from
the nineties, so every song title has

69
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,800
acid in it, just for fun, right, And then I had Fredo

70
00:08:20,079 --> 00:08:24,439
on a couple of songs on the
first album. Ye. So yeah,

71
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:28,399
this is actually the first one where
it's like just me on all the instruments.

72
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,839
Yeah. Yeah, it's amazing,
very cool. By the way.

73
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,919
A few chat room comments for our
friend Huey the Gecko. Jim Hurley says,

74
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,559
htg get on that mic. Yeah, Ramani, I probably won't say

75
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:48,200
this correctly. Ramani beckhamsall Wood Well, Remy, oh okay, Yeah,

76
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:52,639
she's very happy to see you here. Justin Hale says, whoop whoop Huey

77
00:08:52,679 --> 00:09:01,519
the Gecko. Topp Tier so very
nice room. Yeah. Matt Juno from

78
00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:03,200
of course The Morning Show with Peter
White, I got to hang out with

79
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,879
those guys yesterday morning. Uh,
Matt says, uh, did you forget

80
00:09:07,919 --> 00:09:11,799
about Lemmy Motorhead? Come on,
that's insulting to a rock and roll icon.

81
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,000
But I wouldn't consider that he sweated
on me once. Oh, let

82
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,600
me did. I wouldn't. I
wouldn't consider that a lead like what he

83
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:28,240
did that. Yeah. I mean, Lemmy, the way that he played

84
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,720
kind of was I wouldn't consider that
a lead though, like in front,

85
00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:37,480
you know, it was rhythm.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely absolutely. Uh.

86
00:09:39,159 --> 00:09:41,960
Mattie Juno disagrees. He says he
was definitely a lead. Well,

87
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,840
he was the lead singer of course, in the leader of the band Themous.

88
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:50,519
It's got to be the most infamous
one, right. Well. No,

89
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,080
but I was talking about though,
where where the bass is the lead

90
00:09:54,159 --> 00:10:00,440
instrument, like right out in front, you know what I mean, Whereas

91
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,039
Jean's like a big bass player if
you talk about rock icons, like oh

92
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,200
yeah, yeah, of course,
yeah, absolutely, yeah, Jean Simmons.

93
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,639
No, I got a lot of
my influences by h from Ryan Martini

94
00:10:09,799 --> 00:10:13,240
from mud Vein. Oh really yeah. He did a lot of slap in

95
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:18,559
metal and he was like, my
he was my big influence what fifteen years

96
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,600
ago, back when were we doing
it, you know, for slapping all

97
00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:26,919
the bands I was in. Oh
yeah, helped me kind of stick out

98
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:30,399
a little bit. Yeah, totally
totally. Chad Felch in the chat room

99
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:33,519
says that Helti. He says,
Aaron, you rock brother ran very nice,

100
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,799

188
00:27:41,559 --> 00:28:22,799

189
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,720
Very nice, thank you. That's

and Huey the gecko is accompanying him and

192
00:28:37,039 --> 00:28:41,400
very very cool. In a moment
we'll play we'll play another studio track from

193
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,839
from the upcoming album Drone at Home
coming out on Tuesday. But uh,

194
00:28:47,359 --> 00:28:51,319

playing live for us and before we

196
00:28:56,079 --> 00:28:57,039
get to the studio, track,
You're getting a lot of love. In

197
00:28:57,079 --> 00:29:03,000
the Facebook live chat, Justin Hale
says, Hughie is a pinnacle of energy

198
00:29:03,119 --> 00:29:07,400
and creativity. He needs to be
put out there more. Uh, everybody

199
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,759
bring him out. Tony Petrello,
one of our co hosts on Retrospectrum Radio

200
00:29:11,839 --> 00:29:15,640
on Friday nights, says, I
am not stoned enough for this. But

201
00:29:15,759 --> 00:29:18,440
he didn't say he didn't like it, so he just said he's not.

202
00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:25,599
You know, there's always time,
proper state. That's right. Jogi's basket,

203
00:29:25,759 --> 00:29:27,960
says Huey. The gecko is so
talented. He can play so many

204
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,559
instruments. So well, let's see, I'm kind of working backwards here.

205
00:29:33,359 --> 00:29:41,680
Lizards. Yes, yes, now
you mentioned in the song. I'm sorry,

206
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:45,720
I'm getting the titles mixed up the
single with the video. Oh doctor,

207
00:29:47,119 --> 00:29:49,960
doctor milligram. Yes, so you
know you mentioned being pulled by gravity.

208
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,759
Melanie La Liberty, our friend from
Vermont, says, fun fact,

209
00:29:53,079 --> 00:29:56,960
if the gravitational pull of the moon
changed and the slightest, we are all

210
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:02,599
blanked. So that's scary. That
is scary. Yes, that could happen

211
00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:04,960
at any moment. Uh. Miriam
vanishes in the chat room, she says,

212
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
I like this. Uh, she
likes, Uh, thank us with

213
00:30:08,319 --> 00:30:12,559
what you're doing. Absolutely, and
John Burke in the chat room says,

214
00:30:12,599 --> 00:30:15,519
hell yeah, brother, I think
that's for you, Huey. Hell yeah,

215
00:30:15,759 --> 00:30:18,920
brother. Yeah that sounds about right. Yeah yeah, and uh.

216
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,480
Nick Murdoch joins us in the chat
and says, damn, I forgot about

217
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,440
the new time until now and the
wife and I are about to head out.

218
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,039
Hello to everyone. Hope things are
going well, Maddie. I love

219
00:30:29,079 --> 00:30:32,359
you brother, Thank you, Nick, thank you for for everything. I

220
00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:42,000
appreciate you tons of support. Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, Miriam Miriam said,

221
00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:47,359
I'm so clueless. What is slapping? Yeah, that's uh, the

222
00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:52,599
the slapping of the bass. Yeah. And you know what I noticed too

223
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,720
when you were playing actually I think
it was with the last song, Lady

224
00:30:56,759 --> 00:30:59,759
on the Shore. It really when
you turn on the distortion and you're playing

225
00:30:59,759 --> 00:31:03,279
in that high register, it really
does sound like an electric guitar. Nice.

226
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,440
Yeah, was out of necessity?
Yeah yeah, no, that really

227
00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:11,839
that really works. Uh Lou Saviano, who I suspect is related to uh

228
00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:17,079
to our favorite Gecko, Uh Lou
says Aaron, one of the best bass

229
00:31:17,119 --> 00:31:19,160
players in New England. Oh,
yes, thank you, I love you.

230
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,839
Absolutely, I would I would agree. Let's see, I think we're

231
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,319
think we're caught up there. Oh, Isaac Banks from Greensboro, North Carolina,

232
00:31:30,359 --> 00:31:34,960
says Justin and Aaron from Huey the
Gecko. Keep on rocking and check

233

to nine pm. Already about him today?

235
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:52,880

About Isaac Banks? Yeah, there

236
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,640
was no hashtag, no hashtag,
Yes, that's all. That's uh,

237
00:31:56,799 --> 00:32:00,839
we say tags everything. Yeah,
someone else. Yeah, our friends from

238
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,759
Greensboro, they use a lot of
uh, they use a lot of hashtags.

239
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,039
Well, let's I'm dying to hear
this other track, this studio track

240
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:13,279
glamping. Yeah, we wanted to
play and this is, uh, this

241
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,680
is this is of course from your
upcoming studio album, Drone at Home.

242
00:32:15,759 --> 00:32:17,680
Now, what does what does that
mean? By the way, the name

243
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,480
of the album. I used tones
behind like every song yeah, so uh

244
00:32:23,599 --> 00:32:27,480
yeah, I just it ended up
being a theme for this album. I

245
00:32:27,799 --> 00:32:31,640
really liked. Uh. I was
using some pads and and able tin and

246
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,640
uh, I really like it.
Like metal, I kind of just dragging

247
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,039
through the whole song. Yeah,
you know, in the background with a

248
00:32:38,079 --> 00:32:42,359
little reverb on it. I kind
of it kind of became the theme of

249
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,759
every single track on this album.
So that's what a drone tone is.

250
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,119
Yeah, okay to me, I
didn't I hadn't heard that term. Okay,

251
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,400
like droning music. Yeah yeah,
yeah, okay, cool, very

252
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,519
cool. Well let's give this a
listen. So this is called glamping.

253
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,400
Whoops, let me uh, I
made a mistake there. I haven't been

254
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:22,680
here in a couple of weeks.
Here we go, kids, we got

255

guys who the Gecko was here with them

261
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,199

and Miriam in the chat room says ha

262
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,400
ha, I love this. I
just want I just want to stay home.

263
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:20,159
As songs for all those ungrateful children
out there that I don't appreciate the

264
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,800
finer things like nature. Oh,
I'm that way. I don't. I

265
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,880
don't, I don't do Uh.
I don't like to go into the woods.

266
00:36:29,039 --> 00:36:30,840
Well, I'm very afraid of you
know, deer ticks and uh,

267
00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:36,400
you know, the mountain lions,
the blair witch. If you're afraid of

268
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:37,920
everything, though, you're going to
miss out. Yeah, I'm okay with

269
00:36:38,039 --> 00:36:45,159
missing out on the woods. I
feel y, I feel yeah. I

270
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:49,440
prefer I prefer going out on like
boots over the woods personally. You know,

271
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,679
it's a little bit safer. You
know, you don't have to worry

272
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,639
about bears, right right, I
mean there's drowning, but you know,

273
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:59,840
hopefully not. You know, just
where you laugh jacket, that's right,

274
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:04,440
that's right, Miriam says regarding glamping. I needed this song when I was

275
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:10,920
driving back from Pennsylvania. Thank you. Now, So when you play out,

276
00:37:12,199 --> 00:37:14,199
is it is it always the two
of you together? Do you perform

277
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:15,960
together always? Or no? No? Just when he's available. Yeah,

278
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,840
you know, if he's available,
he's he's there with me. But it's

279
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,960
not always. I got my full
show, uh set up for myself.

280
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,639
Yeah, you know. So,
so when it is just you are you

281
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,480
Are you bringing the like the setup
like you? So yeah, I bring

282
00:37:31,559 --> 00:37:36,119
the full setup I had last time, like that rolling Pa, and I

283
00:37:36,199 --> 00:37:38,159
got to make sure that I run
on my backing tracks I got. I

284
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:43,159
got a ear piece with my click
in it. Yeah, because it's the

285
00:37:43,199 --> 00:37:45,119
only it's the only way I can
keep up with my uh the perfect time

286
00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:49,320
with the backing tracks. And then
uh, yeah that's it, I said,

287
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,320
I sing with songs, and uh
I played a show recently. I

288
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:58,639
played portrait Fest and Antrim Okay,
yeah that was that was That was like

289
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,480
a really good I got oh okay
yeah, and it even an hour just

290
00:38:02,559 --> 00:38:07,239
flies by. Yeah. I was
really pleased with like the sound. Everything

291
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:12,000
came out really good. So yeah, that's the plan moving forward. And

292
00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:15,679
you were saying, I can't remember
if this this was on air or off

293
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,159
air. You were saying, your
plan is to release an album a year

294
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:21,039
going forward. Is yeah, so
what I've been doing. My first album

295
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,679
I came out in twenty one,
okay, and that was a big push

296
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:29,000
because I was having an existential crisis, thinking I was going to die.

297
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,159
You know, I'm in my forties. We're gonna have a heart attack.

298
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:36,519
Something's gonna happen. You know.
I've always wanted to put out an album

299
00:38:36,519 --> 00:38:37,559
and I never did. So it
was a big rush, yeah, and

300
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:43,639
then the sooner I got to the
deadline soon, like my anxiety was just

301
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,639
through the roof, you know,
like I gotta get it done. I

302
00:38:45,679 --> 00:38:49,480
got to get it uploaded. As
soon as I get it uploaded, it

303
00:38:49,559 --> 00:38:53,760
doesn't matter after that, you know. And then I put that out immediately

304
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:59,320
after I joined Thank Sinatra. I
was in that band for eight months as

305
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:04,239
a keyboard player. And then after
that I put out an album right away.

306
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,400
It took me a couple months,
and I put out Destroyer, and

307
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,800
I'm like, I'm just gonna keep
doing this every year. So after Destroyer,

308
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,880
I put out an EP after on
the first of the new year,

309
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,000
and then I realized, like I
should just do an album and an EP

310
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,440
like that guy Square Pushed I was
talking about. He puts out like a

311
00:39:21,519 --> 00:39:24,800
full base album with all the tracks
and everything and all the instruments every year.

312
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,559
But then right after that he puts
like a techno album out, which

313
00:39:29,639 --> 00:39:32,280
is like an accompaniment album. The
way he just put out He's been doing

314
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:36,760
that for years. I love that. Allison chains did that. They did

315
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,199
like album, EP, album EP
ye, so I kind of like,

316
00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:45,320
that's my goal now. It's so
now I got three full lengths. I've

317
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,239
done it every year for three years, and this year January first, I

318
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,400
put out an EP, so I
plan on putting one out. I'd like

319
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,400
to push it out towards the spring
a little bit because it was just like

320
00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:00,360
too soon last time. But yeah, album, album, EP, MEP,

321
00:40:00,559 --> 00:40:01,920
and just keep popping them out as
long as I can. Yeah,

322
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,000
there's no excuse not to. I
got music just like like flowing on me.

323
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,679
Yeah. Yeah, you know,
there's no there's no lack of inspiration

324
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,599
on this end. It's it's just
motivation really. Yeah. Well also too,

325
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,440
you know you've you've found a way
to do it all yourself, right,

326
00:40:19,599 --> 00:40:21,440
It's like, I mean that must
be kind of liberating, right,

327
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:23,039
But it was, I mean it
was hard. It was hard at first,

328
00:40:23,119 --> 00:40:27,119
Like I didn't even know how to
play keyboards for my first album,

329
00:40:27,159 --> 00:40:29,880
and I bought it. I'm like, oh, I've never worked with Madi

330
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,760
before. First I was drawing midi
you know, and then I got a

331
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:37,119
keyboard and I started doing that and
I learned how to do that and then

332
00:40:37,119 --> 00:40:39,000
all of a sudden, I'm thrust
into a band. Yeah, playing keyboards.

333
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:43,559
Oh my god. The anxiety was
through the roof like that towards the

334
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:49,000
end, like every gig, like
I was shaking and causing a scene and

335
00:40:49,079 --> 00:40:51,719
everything, and then I get on
stage. It's all fine. But yeah,

336
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,039
you know, once you once you
hit that first note, everything's fine.

337
00:40:53,079 --> 00:40:58,559
But it was rough. I made
some weird investments, like I bought

338
00:40:58,599 --> 00:41:04,760
an eighty eight Keith fully weighted,
heavy, heavy keyboard, you know,

339
00:41:05,039 --> 00:41:07,679
and I'm like, oh my god, I'm in my forties lugging this giant

340
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,199
thing around. But I got two
keyboards and then my computer, my whole

341
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,480
setup, all my sense and everything. Ye, and that my anxiety was

342
00:41:14,559 --> 00:41:16,239
through the roof at the end.
Yeah, and it did, like it

343
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:21,159
took me a while, but like
the best thing was like, like I

344
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,519
wasn't made to be a keyboard player. That why you left? I mean

345
00:41:25,039 --> 00:41:28,679
it was yeah, it was.
It was a lot. It was a

346
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,599
lot of it was all me,
yeah, you know, and you know

347
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:36,840
rightfully so at the time, but
like, uh, it was like the

348
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:42,360
time in that band really like forced
me to like get good quick, get

349
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,679
good quick, learn how to jam, learn how to make changes on the

350
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,920
fly. Yeah, because we were
doing it all the time. And if

351
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,039
I didn't do that, have that
whole experience, I would have never put

352
00:41:53,079 --> 00:42:00,239
out Destroyer immediately after. And like, uh, it was just it was

353
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,760
really the best thing that could have
happened to me at that time. Yeah.

354
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,159
It pushed me. It pushed me, and and here I am now,

355
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,840
and you know, I got three
more albums out of it so far,

356
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:15,639
albums in an EP. So yeah, that's the goal. I think

357
00:42:15,679 --> 00:42:17,400
we have time. I'd like to
if I can find it online quickly,

358
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,480
I'd like to play that other you
were telling me about, Yeah, Tech

359
00:42:21,599 --> 00:42:25,039
Death Whistle that's off of Zero Rested
Burn. That's the techno EP. Let

360
00:42:25,079 --> 00:42:30,280
me see if I if I can
find it quickly, I'd like to play

361
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:38,679
that. I think was there something
get your attention? Well, Aaron was

362
00:42:38,679 --> 00:42:43,920
talking about it earlier because Auto is
on this track right right from Deast Profit.

363
00:42:44,079 --> 00:42:47,079
He plays guitar on that track.
Yeah. I reached out to him

364
00:42:47,119 --> 00:42:50,800
and he was he was, yeah, no problem. He had it back

365
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,360
to me in like like three days. That's awesome. Yeah I found it.

366
00:42:54,519 --> 00:42:58,559
Yeah, yeah, so I'm curious
to hear this and now but it

367
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,119
was off air you were talking about
it. Do you want to explain everybody

368
00:43:00,159 --> 00:43:05,960
what that is? Death whistle?
So my friend gave me this whistle.

369
00:43:06,039 --> 00:43:10,039
It's black and it's in the shape
of a skull. It's about fift size,

370
00:43:10,039 --> 00:43:13,679
it's pretty good size. And you
blow into it and it sounds like

371
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,760
a scream, like a real breathy, ghostly banshee scream. And back in

372
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:22,559
the day when the Aspects would go
to war, there would be a thousand

373
00:43:22,559 --> 00:43:24,760
of them over the hill like blowing
these things all night, keeping the enemies

374
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:30,159
up, not letting them sleep.
And then they charge in blowing these whistles,

375
00:43:30,199 --> 00:43:34,119
and it just sounded like ghosts screams. Amazing. You can hear like

376
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,360
it's the first sound on here and
it repeats all right track, so you

377
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,079
can kind of hear it. Cool. Cool, I'm really curious to hear
