Mike Lachlan is 20 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,240 here. Hello, sir, Yes, sir, yes, sir, yes, 21 00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:26,440 yes. And that opening song was nothing left to say, which is 22 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,960 a great, great song you were telling me off air that's is. Did 23 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,759 you say it's your favorite that you've ever recorded. It's right up there, 24 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,879 It's very least, it's right up there, I would say. But how 25 00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,480 about Shauno Led on the drums? Yes, absolutely amazing at that, absolutely 26 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,759 amazing. How about that theme song of Matt Connerton's Yeah that is that was 27 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:48,600 recorded by Jerry Robinson of Jerry and the Scumbags, and he's got his new 28 00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:50,080 album Scum of the Earth and he recorded that. Well. The thing is, 29 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:56,679 so the point of that little track there is to sort of announce to 30 00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:01,120 the people the arrival of yours truly the you know, because he has Jerry's 31 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,440 rock and roll Army, and I am the commander to the supreme leader of 32 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,679 the rock and roll Army. Which is a very prestigious position. I never 33 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,240 thought of myself as a military man, but when he made me the commander 34 00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:18,840 to the Supreme Leader, I, you know, really, the only questions 35 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,519 I had were do I have to wear a uniform? And how much power 36 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,519 will I have? And it turns out it's a very very powerful position. 37 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:31,080 And by the way, if that sounds concerning at all, don't worry. 38 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,679 You can trust me with immense power. No one's ever said that ever, 39 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,879 So I do trust you, Thank you, thank you. Yes, yes, 40 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,919 i'd be kind of a colonel. Well, I don't know. You'd 41 00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:48,759 have to ask Jerry, but he is recruiting more members every day. It's 42 00:10:48,799 --> 00:10:52,200 it's it's it's it's it's a whole army. It's great, it's great. 43 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,600 Here's a question from Matt Connerton. Though, yes, could this army beat 44 00:10:54,600 --> 00:11:00,559 the Kiss Army in a fight? That's well, let's not. Let's not 45 00:11:00,639 --> 00:11:03,360 get carried away. Oh no, I mean, my goodness, no, 46 00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:07,799 I mean the Kiss Army. There's fire breathing, and it's a whole thing. 47 00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:13,679 You'd know better than me. Yes, yes, but it is. 48 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,720 It is quite an honor, of course, to be the commander to the 49 00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:20,519 supreme Leader. I mean just the title. It just sounds so powerful and 50 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,879 I can, you know, commit war crimes whatever. It's great. I 51 00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:31,320 have free reign. Is there a tribunal? Not yet. It's a rock 52 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,639 and roll army, so we're not governed by international law. We do have 53 00:11:35,759 --> 00:11:39,480 a call. We'll see, Uh, we'll see who's on the line here. 54 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,480 Hi, Welcome to Matt Connerton unleashed. Who's this hello, Matt? 55 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,039 So, this is Jerry Robinson. Oh, Jerry Robinson. Wonderful to hear 56 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,279 from you, my friend. Yes, it's very good. Listen. I 57 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,519 was listening to you live. And of course I have to defend my rock 58 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,600 and Roll Army. So I mean, I guess if you want to go 59 00:11:58,639 --> 00:12:03,840 base off of like total member members, I mean obviously like we're a new 60 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,799 outfit. I don't think I think all the kiss on me fans out there 61 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,240 could like to swarm us, like take a sofa, but I think like 62 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,279 pounds per pound, of course, I think that I think we could put 63 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,960 up a pretty good fight. Well that would would It would put me and 64 00:12:18,279 --> 00:12:24,120 perhaps perhaps I should have disclosed this to you sooner, Jerry. It would 65 00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:28,480 put me in a little bit of a compromised position because, as I'm sure 66 00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:31,039 you realize, Kiss is my favorite band. I consider myself a member of 67 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:37,320 that army. But I don't think there's a direct conflict of interest unless there 68 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:43,080 were to be actual conflict, right of course. I mean unless like Gene 69 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,919 Simmons, like you know, you know, bass play bass player, the 70 00:12:46,919 --> 00:12:50,159 bass player. Of course, if he hits you up and said listen, 71 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,000 I hate a little rock and roll dick that you've got going on, then 72 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,320 of course it has some issues. But I don't think there's going to be 73 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,559 any problem, right, And I will say this, Jerry, Gene Simmons 74 00:12:58,799 --> 00:13:03,320 now ever, offered to make me the commander to the Supreme Leader of the 75 00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:07,879 Kiss Army. So you've actually got one up on him there. That this 76 00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:11,159 pretty true. Listen, who is it that you have in today in studio 77 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,759 with you? Yes, this is Mike Laughlin, a very talented musician, 78 00:13:16,039 --> 00:13:20,559 and he has expressed interest in the army, the rock and roll army. 79 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:26,919 Of course, mister Mike, I would be just absolutely ecstatic if you would 80 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:33,399 accept my invitation. Of course, now it would be a colonel in Jerry's 81 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,840 rock and Roll Army. I would I would love that because When I was 82 00:13:37,879 --> 00:13:41,000 a child, one of my heroes was Colonel Sanders. Ah, so I 83 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,600 would love to be a colonel very nice, very nice. Well, many 84 00:13:45,639 --> 00:13:50,279 could be the Cardinal of rock and roll, and of course when we stopped 85 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,399 going on tour, you can also be like the cardinal of like the eleven 86 00:13:54,519 --> 00:13:58,639 or spices and the fried chicken and the whatnot. I've never had a greater 87 00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:01,279 honor. So so in other words, he'll be in charge of caterine, 88 00:14:01,399 --> 00:14:07,000 is what you're saying. Yeah, exactly on every day we have to be 89 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,440 big and strong. That's right, that's right, Well, very good. 90 00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:16,799 I'm excited this rock and roll army is growing by leaps and bounds. Yes, 91 00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:20,200 it's very very good. Also, I wanted to call you because a 92 00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:24,480 certain somebody who will remain unnamed, mentioned that he might try to crash your 93 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,600 party today on your show. So I just wanted to give you a little 94 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,039 heads up. You know, I've got spies everywhere in the rock and Roll 95 00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:37,600 army, so I just wanted to give you four warning. If a sudden 96 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,159 somebody tries to show up and cause problems, then I can of course call 97 00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:46,279 the rock and Roll security right over and get everything taken care of for you. 98 00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:48,759 Oh, I appreciate that, Jerry. Yes, I've also In fact, 99 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,039 Mike and I were talking about that individual earlier. There might be an 100 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,240 interloper. And I'll use any excuse to use that word. It's such a 101 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,600 great word. An interloper might might be trying to call in at some point 102 00:15:01,679 --> 00:15:05,519 today. Exactly. Yes, Well listen, I hope, I hope both 103 00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:09,480 of you have a great rest of your day. Congratulations on your new position, 104 00:15:09,559 --> 00:15:13,279 Mike. Put the rock and roll Army. Great song, by the 105 00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:15,559 way, great song. All right, Thank you, Jerry, thank you, 106 00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:20,639 thank you very much. All right bye, Jerry, all right bye. 107 00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:24,200 Oh, very nice. It's always wonderful to hear from Jerry Robinson, 108 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,279 of course, Jerry Robinson and the Scumbags and Jerry's rock and roll Army. 109 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:33,600 It's very exciting. And congratulations Mike. I thank you. Nothing else to 110 00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:37,960 say, nothing to say here. But here's the question I have for you 111 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,120 now, Matt. Yes, have you had a song written about you before? 112 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,840 Is this your first one? Oh? That is a great question. 113 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,120 I've had not written about me. I mean, I've had people record theme 114 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,559 music. I was using a different theme song until recently that someone else recorded 115 00:15:56,559 --> 00:16:00,320 specifically for me, but it was a couple of years old, time to 116 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,799 freshen it up. So so I think that was the first actual song about 117 00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:10,000 me specifically. Does it feel do you feel honored? We'll feel like that's 118 00:16:10,279 --> 00:16:11,320 you know how like people say, like, you know, hey, there 119 00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:15,320 Delia was written about some girl. You know, there's those timeless things about 120 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,639 some girl. Get a song written by her, or Taylor Swift has a 121 00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:21,879 song written about John Mayer or something. Right, you know, you have 122 00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:26,600 a song written for you? Does that feel special and unique? It does? 123 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,279 It? Does? I mean I'm more excited just to be the commander 124 00:16:30,279 --> 00:16:33,200 to the supreme leader. But the song itself is it's very exciting too, 125 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,080 and it very it's very uh you know, it gets the adrenaline pumping, 126 00:16:37,159 --> 00:16:40,759 you know, it's very high energy. It's got that you know, that 127 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,799 guitar riff that it's a good riff. Yes, it's a good riff. 128 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,559 And I think because you've had a song written about you, and then I 129 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,279 personally have at least to my knowledge, I haven't checked Taylor Swift's latest album. 130 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,159 Ah, but uh, I don't have a song written by me, 131 00:16:56,279 --> 00:17:00,399 so that you know that'll put the rank that can put the ranking right right, 132 00:17:00,799 --> 00:17:03,240 I'm okay with that. Yes, well, very good, by the 133 00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:07,799 way. So Mike did bring his guitar and he's gonna play a few songs 134 00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:10,160 in the second hour, So really looking forward to that. When was the 135 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,240 last time you're on? Was it maybe six months ago or something like that? 136 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:18,279 In this spring, I think time really gets gets very blurry. Although 137 00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,680 I always remember, I'm sure we've talked about this before. I can always 138 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,839 remember, though, exactly how long I've known you. It's this time of 139 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,599 year. We mentioned that it's probably like this today, which it's probably twenty 140 00:17:29,839 --> 00:17:32,799 years ago, twenty two years ago, it was. It was a few 141 00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:36,000 days after nine to eleven, was of the first time I met you. 142 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,880 Yeah, that's true. So if from ever you know, because most people 143 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,720 you try to think, hm, how long have I known that person? 144 00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:47,680 But you I have, I can always pinpoint it to the month. Sorry, 145 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:49,720 Yeah it is. Unfortunately, yeah it would be. It would be 146 00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:53,200 nice if it was something positive. But yes, you and you and Scrimmy, 147 00:17:55,039 --> 00:18:00,880 I met yeph In conquered at the at the Strawberries and conquered. But 148 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,200 yeah, so Mike's gonna play for us in the second hour.

Oh? 170 00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:29,400 I don't think there is one, at least I hope not. I 171 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,680 hope there's not something that I wasn't aware of. Wait, you didn't have 172 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,519 initiation? No, No, I was just invited to join, and of 173 00:19:36,519 --> 00:19:38,279 course I accepted, you know, anything with commander in at the job for 174 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,960 me because it just sounds so powerful. Of course, I'm going to say 175 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:47,359 you're lucky because I was initiated and I couldn't walk for a week. Oh, 176 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,480 oh my goodness, I'm afraid that I do. And suddenly I'm very 177 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,759 concerned. Melanie says. Jay wrote a poem. Oh in regard to your 178 00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,640 question about is anyone ever writ in a song about me? Melanie says, 179 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:02,319 Jay wrote a poem about you once you still live in Nantucket right, I 180 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,799 certainly did not. How dare you? Uh? And Dylan Reynolds, another 181 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,920 very talented musician in the chat room, says, welcome to the army. 182 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,759 Very nice, very nice. Uh. Let's see. So Mike, Uh, 183 00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:18,920 what's uh? What have you been doing musically since we since we last 184 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,319 had you on? Are you? Are you still doing the solo thing or 185 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,640 you are you playing with other musicians? Are you recording? What's been what's 186 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,759 been going on? What's the the four one one, which I think is 187 00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:30,799 what the young people say. I think the kids do say that. Yes, 188 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,400 you know, I like to keep the show young and hip. Well 189 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,559 yeah, the kids, I mean, I know they say hip too. 190 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:42,359 Yes, I have been playing out by myself doing the solo thing and yeah, 191 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:47,119 and I am recording as well with the great drummer you heard in that 192 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,559 song, Sean Rolette, who was was gonna make it here today but he 193 00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:53,640 couldn't. But so to Sean, uh, he'll be here next time I'm 194 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,680 here, I'm sure. But he's great. And we've been recording some of 195 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:02,160 my new music. So yeah, that's kind of it. Nothing groundbreaking, 196 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,599 I mean, unless you mean playing at Madison Square Garden a couple of weeks. 197 00:21:06,759 --> 00:21:11,920 Oh, I mean yeah, Well, being a colonel's already paying off. 198 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:15,480 I mean that's how I got in. You've had a long association with 199 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:21,279 Sean. Is it a letter wallett ole French? So I'm sure there might 200 00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:26,119 be a pronunciation thing if you being specific, because I'm Laughlin. I think 201 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:30,000 you say that correctly. I think you said that correctly. I always say 202 00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:33,000 Lachlan. Yeah, okay, so many don't. That's the Irish way of 203 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,400 saying because it looks like law. Many people say that because it's just so 204 00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:40,880 oolette olette. I don't know the correct way he'd want it to be said. 205 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,759 Yeah, whatever, But you've worked with him for a long time, 206 00:21:45,799 --> 00:21:53,079 it seems yeah, for like sixteen years now, wow, sixteen sixteen or 207 00:21:53,079 --> 00:21:57,599 seventeen years now. He was the drummer in what he drummed in Glorious Noise? 208 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,880 Correct, he was at first he was in can give it? Let 209 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,200 me give you the downlow on the Sean Boulette story. Yes, yes, 210 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,559 he could give you a better version of it. But Sean and I, 211 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,839 do you remember I was in a band Mantra, and we had a drummer 212 00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:15,440 at the time called Gary Mayhew. Fantastic drummer as well. Yes, yes, 213 00:22:15,519 --> 00:22:18,799 I remember Gary, Yep, we had we had a band room and 214 00:22:18,839 --> 00:22:22,480 the band room next to us. I remember that room. It's a great 215 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,319 band room. Yeah. You used to record your show there, yes, 216 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,720 the other show. Yeah. But in that room, Sean had a band 217 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:36,359 and Sean's band another really good band called Hedera. They were rehearsing and Sean. 218 00:22:36,519 --> 00:22:41,200 They had off an on time and Sean eventually heard us playing and he 219 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,119 goes like, oh, I'll you know, if you want to record, 220 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,359 I'll record you a free And I was like, that's the best deal of 221 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:51,559 all time, right, and you'll play on it too. Okay. Well, 222 00:22:51,599 --> 00:22:52,720 you know what's funny about that, though, When somebody says they're going 223 00:22:52,799 --> 00:22:56,920 to do something like that for free, you never really know what you're getting 224 00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,319 into because it could be free for a reason, right it Well maybe it 225 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,319 was maybe he just wanted to play, but like but but in this case, 226 00:23:03,839 --> 00:23:07,240 it worked out very well. It was well, first of all, 227 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,200 Sean's a great guy. Yeah, cool dude, but he also was a 228 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,240 great drummer, and it was like, okay, you want to record me 229 00:23:14,279 --> 00:23:18,119 and we'll do this. Okay. So we started playing and I had a 230 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,880 bunch of songs since that iteration of mantra broke up. It was like, 231 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,400 okay, I have a bunch of songs I want to get out. So 232 00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:29,839 me and him started playing the songs I had. We recorded them and just 233 00:23:29,839 --> 00:23:33,720 started playing around and we recorded like five or six songs and that was one 234 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,039 of them. Yeah, that song. I mean, it's kind of me 235 00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:38,960 and him talk about it as it was done in two two days. We 236 00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:42,880 just wrote it. It came it was clearly improved. Yeah, vocals everything, 237 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,920 oh wow. So and then we did a second take to clean it 238 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,319 up and that was it. That was it, that's all done. Wait, 239 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:55,000 so I see I didn't realize something. So so the lyrics were improved, 240 00:23:55,079 --> 00:23:56,480 you didn't everything just on the spot. I didn't realize that. It's 241 00:23:56,559 --> 00:24:02,160 like that divine channeling thing. It just all came out like just bang that 242 00:24:02,279 --> 00:24:03,920 I didn't I didn't know that. Even the lyrics. No, it was 243 00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:10,160 accidental, perfectly, synchronistically perfect. Wow. Yeah, oh that's crazy. 244 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,920 I mean maybe I cleaned up a word or two because I just was mumbling 245 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,359 in key yeah your word, yeah, that world fit. But like it's 246 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:22,880 one of those every songwriter knows this too. Is that is that like some 247 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,720 of the best songs just fall out of you. Yeah, And that was 248 00:24:25,759 --> 00:24:27,119 one of those songs. Wow, just fell out and I was like, 249 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,079 all right, today, it was a good day. You know, that's 250 00:24:32,319 --> 00:24:36,240 has that happened with other songs where the lyrics just sort of you you were 251 00:24:36,279 --> 00:24:40,920 able to just sort of improve them because your lyrics are are you know, 252 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,160 you're You're a really good lyricist. So that's why I was so surprised. 253 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,240 I didn't know. I knew just from previous conversations that there was a lot 254 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,759 of spontaneity to those recordings, but I didn't know that the lyrics actually you 255 00:24:52,839 --> 00:24:56,200 improv. Are there other songs like that? I would say the majority of 256 00:24:56,279 --> 00:25:03,400 songs I write. Again, you've been in bands, you know, singers 257 00:25:04,319 --> 00:25:07,119 the best. A lot of times when you're recording and just kind of or 258 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,720 jamming with people or just sitting in your room playing, sometimes they just fall 259 00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:15,720 out of the sky. Yeah, And you'll start like playing a couple of 260 00:25:15,799 --> 00:25:19,880 chords and then a phrase will come out and then accidentally they'll all kind of 261 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,680 work out. Like to me, the best songs are not the ones that 262 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,000 you sit there and pine over and just like you kind of just they get 263 00:25:27,039 --> 00:25:30,680 they get there and they kind of give they give themselves to you. Yeah, 264 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,319 it's not conscious even I don't think if the more you think about both 265 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:38,279 writing music and lyrics for me and I think other songwriters will tell you, 266 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,880 I think it becomes it's differ it's a different entity. I think the best 267 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:48,799 ones kind of it's like you're presented something and if you get that chance to 268 00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:53,000 take it out of the sky and then you can they give themselves over. 269 00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:56,839 Because I always say that I don't think a lot of songs, I don't 270 00:25:56,839 --> 00:26:00,680 think I wrote that kind of co wrote them and whatever would ever that means 271 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,960 whatever the it's like a weird channeling thing because I don't know, it's it's 272 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,200 magical. I don't know. It sounds kind of corny, but like, 273 00:26:07,279 --> 00:26:11,759 yeah, that's how I feel. So do songs Do songs just sort of 274 00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:14,160 come to you even when you're not or do you have to be sitting there 275 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,039 with a guitar and something will sort of occur to you? I would say 276 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,440 most of the time in the guitar. I've had two or three in the 277 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,680 shower. Yeah, just sitting there and you'll hear an entire like nothing left 278 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,200 to say. There's a background. The background pieces came to me in the 279 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,279 shower. Could hear like a horn, I could hear like the melody the 280 00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:37,720 count of over the top, and I was like, Oh, that all 281 00:26:37,759 --> 00:26:40,440 came to me one day. There's a couple of other songs like that. 282 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:44,039 But for the most part, it's just sitting there with a guitar and then 283 00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:48,039 getting lucky. It's like I've heard someone else say, it's like fishing and 284 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:49,680 you get lucky. You like throw, You keep throwing the line out and 285 00:26:49,839 --> 00:26:52,359 then you catch one. Yeah, some days you don't. I play the 286 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,680 guitar every day, probably maybe for five minutes sometimes, but something comes out. 287 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,480 Yeah, and then the good ones and the bad ones. You there 288 00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:04,240 was and run back in the water. Right, right? Question for you 289 00:27:04,279 --> 00:27:08,319 in the chat room, Melanie is asking you know that because you're you're talking 290 00:27:08,319 --> 00:27:11,920 about it's almost like you co write the songs. Uh, can it become 291 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:17,119 an evil entity? Well? I assume not, because you've never played in 292 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,480 like a death metal band or anything that I know of, Right, So 293 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,640 I've never I mean, I've written crap that I'd like, I'd say that 294 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,440 would be bad, that might be from a you know, because there is 295 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:32,319 a Satanic portal apparently that goes around and hovers over people. So maybe you've 296 00:27:32,319 --> 00:27:34,359 had that happen. I've yes. I mean it's like, oh, tempted 297 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,200 you, this is a great one. This is a fantastic song. And 298 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,079 then I go, yes it is, and then oh, that's a piece 299 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:47,640 of crap. There's plenty of that, so maybe that's the melody also said, 300 00:27:47,759 --> 00:27:49,359 Uh, he sits in the shower, like in the tub with the 301 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,440 shower on. That's weird. Did I say sit in the shower? Maybe 302 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,039 you did. Yeah. If I did, then I'm very sorry because that 303 00:27:56,079 --> 00:28:00,720 sounds disgusting. It does, it does? I don't like bath right, 304 00:28:00,839 --> 00:28:03,680 yes, yeah, because you're you're sitting there in your own filth. Nobody 305 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,119 ever thinks of it that way. Nobody ever thinks of that like, oh, 306 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,200 it's nice, nice to take a bath. No, you're sitting there 307 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:11,599 in your own filth. It's that. I'm also a tall fella, so 308 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,319 it's like uncomfortable. Maybe here it might be the answer. Maybe I haven't 309 00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:21,680 been in the right bathtub maybe, or maybe it's when you're in the bathtub 310 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,200 that you're most vulnerable to an eval entity giving you bad song ideas. We're 311 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,640 going with that one mm and j fed is asking, Mike have you ever 312 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,720 considered growing a beard? I've never seen you with facial health. I had. 313 00:28:33,759 --> 00:28:40,200 I had a full on back in the day, full beard before I 314 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:45,559 knew you. When shortly I think around the time, either shortly after maybe 315 00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:49,839 shortly before, did you you got a beard? Oh yeah, I'll tell 316 00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:53,119 you off the I'll tell you a story off the mike, Okay, But 317 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,759 yeah, I don't remember you with a beard for some reason, I've never 318 00:28:56,839 --> 00:29:02,799 had I would say I've never had a butel castro oh okay, or but 319 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,880 you had like scruff. No, I've had a pretty solid beard. Okay, 320 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,720 and it was right around that time. Maybe I do remember. Actually, 321 00:29:10,079 --> 00:29:11,559 once I tell you, you might remember, but I would feel like 322 00:29:12,319 --> 00:29:15,880 I can't tell you on the a Okay because this is a story. He 323 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:21,440 goes with it, Okay, Melanie said yes, he said sit apology accepted. 324 00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:27,119 Melanie, I thank you for accepting my apology or my heartfelt turn of 325 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,599 events there. I can't believe I said sit in the shower, I know, 326 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:36,599 right, unless that was like coming down off heroin. Oh my goodness. 327 00:29:37,559 --> 00:29:41,000 I can't see a reason. I mean, that's the only reason. 328 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,400 How it's Jay Fed says maybe it needs to be an ice bath. He's 329 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,079 a big proponent of the ice bath. I've never done it me. Neither 330 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,000 sounds terrifying to me, you know, hypothermia and things like that, although 331 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,079 Jay Fed and others claim that there are incredible health benefits. I've done the 332 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,839 health shower, I mean the cold shower. Yeah, I've like turned that 333 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,559 on to go. I've done it for you, sitting in there for a 334 00:30:03,599 --> 00:30:04,640 one minute. Yeah, and the same thing as the tub. But I 335 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,039 can't sit in a bathtub because it's who does that, right? Right? 336 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,920 And so I stood in the shower for freezing cold one minute just to do 337 00:30:15,039 --> 00:30:17,279 it. There's a guy named wim Hoff, I think it is his name. 338 00:30:17,519 --> 00:30:19,920 Heard of him, and he's the fellow who recommends it's like extreme heat, 339 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:25,359 extreme cold. And I did it. It was painful. I did 340 00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:29,319 it like three times and I said enough enough. Now, what's the what's 341 00:30:29,359 --> 00:30:33,960 the reason for that? Why does he promote that it's supposedly I remember listening 342 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:38,319 to him in an interview and it's something about it's it boosts up the adrenaline 343 00:30:38,319 --> 00:30:41,599 of your so like therefore your body fights off, like it sends out this 344 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:47,400 burst of adrenaline because you're dealing with the cold, because it's survival mode, 345 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,039 you know, so like it's getting your it's getting the body kind of going. 346 00:30:51,599 --> 00:30:53,039 So it kind of awakens you kind of a way. Interesting. I 347 00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:56,200 wouldn't have thought of that. That's why he's whim hoff and I'm not. 348 00:30:56,359 --> 00:31:00,839 I guess, so, I guess. So Mike Laughlin is here if you're 349 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,839 just joining us, and you can join us two at six zo three two 350 00:31:03,839 --> 00:31:08,319 five zero six zero seven six zero three two five zero six zero seven. 351 00:31:11,359 --> 00:31:15,359 We we talked to last time you were here about the problem you were having 352 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,599 with your throat, and you told me something off air that was interesting that 353 00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:22,599 it's it's actually so when you were here the last time, when we talked 354 00:31:22,599 --> 00:31:26,039 about it, you didn't know yet. From what I can recall, you 355 00:31:26,079 --> 00:31:29,200 didn't know yet exactly what was going on. I don't think you hadn't gotten 356 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,680 a diagnosis. I'm alright, alright, I knew, I knew. Maybe 357 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,440 I didn't say anything to you, so I apologize, But it's I have 358 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,440 a thing called muscle tension dysphonium. Okay, and I always say to people 359 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,200 who have you've heard Robert F. Kenney Junior talk. He's probably the most 360 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,799 famous person who has something like this. Yeah, he has a thing called 361 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,759 it's the I told you before Now I'm forgetting. Uh, it's it's he 362 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:56,119 has the more extreme version. Yeah, his spasmatic dysphonium. Okay, And 363 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,480 so his his voice is constantly fluttering. That's why it sounds. So it 364 00:32:00,519 --> 00:32:02,720 sounds like he's joking a lot, right, right, I can't listen to 365 00:32:02,799 --> 00:32:06,440 him. It's well, he acknowledges. I've heard him interview and he says, 366 00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:08,839 if you want to turn away, I understand because he couldn't listen to 367 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,480 himself forever. And he will say. I've heard him say that it's much 368 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,400 better now than it was a year ago. He had to get a special 369 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,119 surgery. Can't imagine what it was a year ago. Yeah, so you 370 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:23,039 have what he has, not the same thing, the same it's in the 371 00:32:23,079 --> 00:32:30,319 same family, Okay, mine's mine's more it's it's a tightness of the vocal 372 00:32:30,359 --> 00:32:34,839 cords. Okay. But mine's not constantly doing that. Okay, It's more 373 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:38,279 like it it gets sat occasionally if I overdo certain things. It's also possibly 374 00:32:38,319 --> 00:32:43,680 psychological I've heard so I don't know. I don't know what that. I 375 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,920 don't I'm not conscious of any kind of anxiety or anything like that, but 376 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:51,440 there might just be something my body's doing, like if I I'm not supposed 377 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,640 to, like if they get angry and start screaming. Yeah, that's not 378 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,839 good for my voice, right, I have had to learn to kind of. 379 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:02,519 I was going to vocal therapy, and the vocal therapist taught me how 380 00:33:02,559 --> 00:33:06,480 to sing a little differently and how to use my voice. I took these 381 00:33:06,519 --> 00:33:10,440 exercises. It's boring, blah blah blah. But does that help? I 382 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:17,079 would say it did. I didn't see the progress as fast as I wanted 383 00:33:17,119 --> 00:33:22,400 to, so I stopped going Yeah, well what would so what what would 384 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,680 you do? Uh? It would just like exercises like type of things? 385 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:30,039 What do you mean? Yeah? Like what would what would it be like? 386 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,559 The you know, like regular vocal exercises like doing do re me but 387 00:33:34,599 --> 00:33:37,720 doing it in a you do a certain way you do that you also kind 388 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,119 of I'll get away from the microphone for a second and go like I do 389 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:46,759 things like this, Okay, that's the most annoying thing ever sounds like a 390 00:33:46,839 --> 00:33:50,880 bee. Yeah, but like it's just it's things to kind of release tension, 391 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,160 Okay, and it's it's a combination of things. I think there might 392 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:58,440 be something to do with diet. It's a whole but I've read up on 393 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,480 a lot and it sounds like it's a lot of psychological things. And yeah, 394 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:08,119 the cruel and more fortunate thing is that sometimes alcohol makes the voice, 395 00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:14,159 makes my voice feel easier to sing. Yeah, So I will have the 396 00:34:14,159 --> 00:34:17,559 occasional drink before the shot just to loosen myself up, and I feel if 397 00:34:17,599 --> 00:34:21,599 I feel loose, I've done some exercises before. I'll do some like stretching 398 00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:23,480 just to kind of get that area of not a massage therapist, yeah, 399 00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:30,639 kind of get me going. I'm sure as the mesmer mesmerist, there might 400 00:34:30,679 --> 00:34:32,639 be some hypnotism stuff involved. Who knows, I don't know. I don't 401 00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:37,400 know, because I'm not a consciously anxious person, right, that doesn't mean 402 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,599 that I don't have stuff in my body that's right that way, right, 403 00:34:39,679 --> 00:34:44,400 right? Yeah, Yeah, very often those things and you know I know 404 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:49,639 this from being a hypnotherapist certainly, but very often things that are are kind 405 00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:54,039 of bothering us mentally or psychologically that we're not dealing with, Like we don't 406 00:34:54,039 --> 00:34:57,599 think about them consciously, so we're not dealing with them. But they have 407 00:34:57,599 --> 00:35:00,960 a way of manifesting themselves physically within us. So yeah, that's very possible. 408 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,599 So uh, but there's no it doesn't hurt, right, there's no 409 00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:12,000 pain associated with it. It's it can be disc it can be uncomfortable really. 410 00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:15,400 Yeah, Like it'll be times when it's pretty tense and pretty tight that 411 00:35:15,559 --> 00:35:19,440 I just don't want to talk. Yeah, it doesn't hurt. That's the 412 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,840 wrong word. It just feels tight. Yeah, kind of like I'm annoyed. 413 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:24,679 I don't want to speak anything. I don't want to speak at all. 414 00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:29,480 It's hard to describe, but like it's there's definitely those moment I was 415 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,320 feeling it the other day, really yeah, and I'm conscious of it right 416 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:36,760 now, but like it's not overwhelming, so you just kind of deal with 417 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,079 it. Yeah, I mean it might even be it's a it's an it 418 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:44,280 happens more to people in their thirties, which they cross like their mid thirties. 419 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,159 Oh, so it's not like a young person's thing. It's it might 420 00:35:46,159 --> 00:35:51,519 just be aware and tear thing who knows and so yeah, yeah, interesting. 421 00:35:52,159 --> 00:35:57,159 Our friend Shannon is online. Hi Shannon, Hello, Hello, Hello 422 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:02,920 Hello, this Humming hill like just going like that kind of thing. Yeah, 423 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,119 yeah, I've done stuff like that. Like it's like I said, 424 00:36:06,119 --> 00:36:09,920 like making weird like noises and stuff like that. It's just loosens it. 425 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,400 It's a tech. I have a straw, a straw technique, the growth 426 00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:16,920 through a straw. Huh, what are you? Do? You know any 427 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:24,239 secrets do I don't. I just thought Humming did something, Humming did something 428 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,000 for something. I forget. I just forget what it was. I didn't. 429 00:36:28,039 --> 00:36:30,920 Also, that was it. That's a song, isn't it. Humming 430 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:37,119 does something for something? That's right? I might be confused slay or something. 431 00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:42,639 Yeah, it's evil. No, I don't know. I mean it 432 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,599 might help. I don't know. But okay, that's curious. All right, 433 00:36:47,079 --> 00:36:51,159 thank you, all right, thank you for the call. Bye bye. 434 00:36:52,519 --> 00:36:54,400 Has it gotten any better or worse? Uh? I just kind of 435 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,760 deal with it. It's one of those things. When it first the first 436 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,360 six months or so I had it, it was I will genially say, 437 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,880 when I first got it was super depressing. Yeah, because that's a that's 438 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,440 my I always say it's something. It's just it's a way, it's a 439 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,719 livelihood thing. Yeah, something I'm good at. It's something I love doing. 440 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,880 Yeah, so it's like a real bummer. Yeah, And that was 441 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,239 pretty depressed for a while. And then whether it whatever stroke of luck you 442 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,599 want to call it, if it's a stroke of luck, is then COVID 443 00:37:22,679 --> 00:37:27,599 happened and I couldn't say anyway, So I got I got a little chance 444 00:37:27,639 --> 00:37:31,000 to kind of rest it. And oh that's interesting. Well I always say 445 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,239 it with you know, with the pandemic, we have to find those silver 446 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:38,840 linings where we can. Yeah. So so then when you started, when 447 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:45,559 you started being able to sing again, Uh was it so it wasn't as 448 00:37:45,559 --> 00:37:49,639 bad as when it first happened. It's no, it's it's I mean maybe 449 00:37:49,679 --> 00:37:52,519 it's more like I've learned to deal with it, so I'm not thinking about 450 00:37:52,519 --> 00:37:53,920 it as much. But yeah, I still get like before a gig, 451 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:59,159 I feel tight, Yeah, like okay, like I bring gum I'm doing 452 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,679 right now, and or like like I've become addicted to cough drops, not 453 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:07,039 because I have a cough, just because I like sucking on. Oh that's 454 00:38:07,039 --> 00:38:09,079 gonna sound bad. I like, uh, I like to fit that feeling 455 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:14,719 of having that and just kind of the constant kind of lozenge feel. Yeah. 456 00:38:14,519 --> 00:38:15,760 Yeah, So I'm not even sure if that's good for it. Might 457 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,599 not be good for it even, but it might be psychological for me. 458 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,880 I don't know. It's those weird things where and because every time I sing, 459 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:29,480 it doesn't matter like this is my my problem or my benefit, whatever 460 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,400 you want to call it is. It's I can't go half ass when I 461 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,320 sing. Yeah, I kind of give it everything. So no matter if 462 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:40,039 I'm playing just a random pub down the road for a bigger show, I 463 00:38:40,079 --> 00:38:43,679 can't just go I'm gonna take it easy tonight. I just don't know how 464 00:38:43,679 --> 00:38:46,239 to do that, not me, so I just have to cut back. 465 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,000 I don't play as often as I Like before, when I was in a 466 00:38:50,039 --> 00:38:53,079 band, we'd have rehearsal three nights a week maybe, oh yeah, and 467 00:38:53,079 --> 00:38:57,639 then having gigs, so I was singing probably four four nights a week. 468 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:01,079 Yeah, And now I don't do that. Yeah, I play infrequently, 469 00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:06,760 so really like how infrequently? A couple times a month? Yeah? Yeah, 470 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:12,360 like probably three times a month. Okay, okay, well you're still 471 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,159 able to do it though, So that's good. Yeah, it's it is 472 00:39:15,159 --> 00:39:17,519 what it is. I mean again, the people have worse problems. Oh 473 00:39:17,599 --> 00:39:21,039 yeah, I don't try to to like I try to put in perspective, 474 00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:22,400 but I can. I can still do it. Yeah, it's just a 475 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:28,960 I don't know. Hopefully we'll just go away. Yeah. Yeah. And 476 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,440 and let's go back to too, because you mentioned recording, So are you 477 00:39:32,559 --> 00:39:36,719 are? Are you and Sean are are you recording an album or what? 478 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,559 Or an EP? Or just some singles? Okay, So during the whole 479 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:49,440 twenty twenty thing, I started writing songs just because, I mean everyone did 480 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,840 something. Yeah, I guess I also learned to cook. But uh oh, 481 00:39:53,079 --> 00:39:58,119 I was just like I gotta do something. I was like, I 482 00:39:58,159 --> 00:40:02,559 gotta write some songs. And I started noticing that it wasn't conscious. It 483 00:40:02,639 --> 00:40:05,760 was the songs I was. I mean, you've heard the songs I've played 484 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,039 for most of since you've known me. Yeah, the songs took on a 485 00:40:08,119 --> 00:40:13,679 different persona than the stuff I've done before. I think because I was playing 486 00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,880 them from a singer songwriter perspective. It's just me and a guitar, and 487 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:20,440 there was no I didn't envision a band behind me because I wasn't doing that. 488 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,599 Yeah, So they came out both as I'd say, much more singer 489 00:40:24,639 --> 00:40:32,719 songwritery and much more poppy positive. I don't that's not the right word, 490 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,480 but like it. They don't my other songs. There's a lot of moody 491 00:40:36,519 --> 00:40:39,199 stuff. I had a lot of atmospheric stuff I had, and I was 492 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,920 like, you know what, I'm gonna write some just good tunes, just 493 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:49,159 good tunes. And yeah, I got a few good tunes out of it. 494 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,239 So like and so the stuff I'm doing with Sean, and it's hard 495 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:58,519 to we haven't played as much as we should. It's hard to align schedules 496 00:40:58,519 --> 00:41:04,320 still, but oh yeah, we've we've got like six or seven blueprints of 497 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,760 songs we've been working on so and then some further along than others. Yeah, 498 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:14,239 but it's it's I'm never gonna stop doing it. And I have I 499 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:20,719 probably have forty new songs really in different stages when I'm saying that, not 500 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,079 all fully lyrics, not all, but like there's I have the arrangements for 501 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:30,400 probably forty and yeah, and I'm pretty not all of them. I have 502 00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:32,599 like my ideal if this is a perfect world, and I was like, 503 00:41:32,599 --> 00:41:37,199 gonna go check into an electric Ladyland Studios or something. I think I would 504 00:41:37,199 --> 00:41:40,559 do an acoustic album and an electric album and have like that kind of dichotomy. 505 00:41:40,599 --> 00:41:45,559 But like, yeah, because there's there's definitely tones to each different. 506 00:41:45,599 --> 00:41:47,679 There's there's about ten songs. I think the best ten it would be for 507 00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,400 that one, and then the best ten it would be for that one, 508 00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,360 and probably go from there. But yeah, we'll see. Hopefully I can 509 00:41:53,519 --> 00:41:58,320 do something with it. But it's so hard. But if someone has any 510 00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:04,039 big money and they want to let me record in a nice studio for free, 511 00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:07,320 I mean, and you can have the accolades you recorded my songs. 512 00:42:07,519 --> 00:42:10,320 That's right, Please let me know. Call on to Matt Show that's right. 513 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:16,039 And is Sean playing drums or okay? And is it just just two 514 00:42:16,039 --> 00:42:20,960 of you for now? Okay? Because like much like nothing left to say. 515 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,280 Uh, we did all that ourselves. I did all the other instruments 516 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:29,639 except from maybe the bass might have been the bass part might have been someone 517 00:42:29,639 --> 00:42:31,920 else. I know I played it on a take. We might have kept 518 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:37,480 that. It might have been somebody. It might have been Scrimmy or John. 519 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,440 Oh, I can't. But I did all the guitar and the keyboard 520 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:44,119 stuff, and then Seawan did all the drumming and different this. He might 521 00:42:44,119 --> 00:42:46,440 have done some other percussive stuff on that too. Oh, but that was 522 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,239 just the two of us. That's the same thing. We'll see. I 523 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,639 think that when Sean comes here, he will we can talk about that more 524 00:42:54,679 --> 00:43:00,960 and full because we've had discussions about we have ideas for stuff, but it's 525 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:05,039 not far long enough you have to talk about seriously, It's pretty cool though, 526 00:43:05,039 --> 00:43:07,159 that you can do this with just the two of you. It's modern 527 00:43:07,199 --> 00:43:15,639 technology, it's we know each other so well musically. That and also here's 528 00:43:15,679 --> 00:43:20,639 here's a fact about my songs. I don't I'm no shredder, right, 529 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,159 I don't, but I do have an ear for how a song should be. 530 00:43:25,519 --> 00:43:30,519 They're not they're not dream theater, right, I mean, so it's 531 00:43:30,559 --> 00:43:35,000 not like it's it's just it's they're songs. No, No, it's and 532 00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:37,320 there's there's some songs I've had in the past a little more difficult, but 533 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:42,639 I would say for the most part, these are just they they're flow songs. 534 00:43:42,639 --> 00:43:46,239 They kind of just they're they're they're catchy melodic tunes. Yeah, and 535 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,679 yeah, that's what I can say I mean, it's just to me. 536 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,440 At the end of the day, I'm not I think about the lyrics I 537 00:43:55,480 --> 00:44:00,039 write. I think about the songs, but I'm more about the melody and 538 00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:04,519 anything else. That's my thing is like that, that's the thing that sticks 539 00:44:04,519 --> 00:44:07,239 with me when I read. So I'll play a bunch of chords and if 540 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:10,280 the melody sticks with me, I'll remember that two days later if I haven't 541 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:13,519 played that song, Yeah, I look at the melody. I got that 542 00:44:13,639 --> 00:44:15,920 cool. And na's the thing that you remember anyway in a song, if 543 00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:21,599 anything, you know, it's the whether. Just don't stop believing whether whatever, 544 00:44:21,639 --> 00:44:23,320 it doesn't matter what it is, it's the melody, absolutely if it 545 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,519 sticks with you. And I think, while I said, I'm no shredder, 546 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,079 I'm not the greatest guitar player. I'm not the greatest singer. I'm 547 00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:35,440 not the greatest anything. But I think I've a really good ear for melody. 548 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:37,480 That's my gift. And I don't think you can teach that. I 549 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,440 think it's a gift. I don't believe that's something you can learn. Yeah, 550 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:44,239 like a great painter with an eye, whoever like painted the great who's 551 00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,840 the great picture over there? Oh? Yes, the giant cardboard Peter whitehead. 552 00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:52,559 Yes, whoever did that shout out to you because I couldn't do that. 553 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:57,800 Yeah, that was our friend Gonzo and yeah and it and it's it's 554 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:00,239 wonderful too, because darre mean the and I want to stare right back at 555 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:04,360 him and say, don't look at me. Well if you notice, uh 556 00:45:04,599 --> 00:45:07,639 And of course those of you people just listening can't see it, but if 557 00:45:07,639 --> 00:45:09,840 you're watching online you can see. If you notice, the eyes do follow 558 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:15,119 you, Mona, Lisa M. Yeah, and he smiles and it's nice. 559 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,280 You know. I remember when the giant cardboard Peter whitehad first appeared in 560 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,960 the studio. I found it a little unsettling, like whoa, that's a 561 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:27,199 because that's a giant cardboard head. But now I find it comforting, or 562 00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:30,840 I find him comforting, you know who. He looks like who a punk 563 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:38,679 rock Orville Reddenbocker. And that is why you are the Colonel slash caterer for 564 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,760 Jerry Robinson's rock and roll arm. I mean, there are there are other 565 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,159 reasons, but I can't go into them. Yeah, I think he looks 566 00:45:45,159 --> 00:45:50,920 a little bit like Sam Seeter from the Majority Report. You know, Sam, 567 00:45:50,119 --> 00:45:52,440 you know, Sam Seeter looks like a drawing. Though. To me, 568 00:45:52,679 --> 00:45:57,599 he has his eyebrows and he has to reflect, he has a his 569 00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,760 face looks like like some character from an art cartoon. I know exactly what 570 00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:05,039 you mean. His expressions, his eyebrows, like his his glasses, and 571 00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,280 yeah, he looks more like a drawing. I know exactly what you mean. 572 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:13,159 Yeah. Joe Friday joins us in the Facebook live chat and says shout 573 00:46:13,199 --> 00:46:16,440 out to Jen h and Jenny said, that's one thing. Uh, the 574 00:46:16,559 --> 00:46:22,000 pandemic increased a lot of creativity maybe, I hope so. I think it 575 00:46:22,119 --> 00:46:24,280 definitely got people to do something. I mean, we all remember everyone was 576 00:46:24,559 --> 00:46:30,039 making sour dough bread and I remember asking someone, why don't you make a 577 00:46:30,079 --> 00:46:35,800 different kind of bread. Billy Painter joins us in the chat. He says, 578 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,840 Roy Orbison glasses. Oh on the giant cardboard, Peter, I see 579 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:44,360 what he means. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can see that for 580 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,840 any woman. WHA did you hear that? I heard him thinking to me, 581 00:46:49,039 --> 00:46:53,320 yes, yes, let's see. We also have a Night's Skylard or 582 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,960 Skylard in the chat room. Who I'm pretty sure it's from Greensboro, North 583 00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:02,039 Carolina. Night Skylards says, hello, hashtag Matt from US. Good afternoon. 584 00:47:02,159 --> 00:47:07,039 We say, who's this person from us? Well, this person is 585 00:47:07,039 --> 00:47:12,679 Mike Laughlin. And Night Skylard also says, hi, hashtag gen coffee from 586 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:20,639 us. We are listening to this person Melanie law Liberty. We say, 587 00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:25,800 it is a good question. Is this person's middle name Bought? I think 588 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:31,320 so. Night Skylard also says, we are from Greensboro, North Carolina. 589 00:47:31,519 --> 00:47:37,320 Oh, how did I know? How did I know? What did they 590 00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,880 have for lunch today? Oh that's a good question, Yes, Night Skylard, 591 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:45,719 what did you have for lunch? We'll see if they Sometimes specific questions 592 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:52,840 like that are become confusing to our friends in Greensboro, North Carolina. We're 593 00:47:52,880 --> 00:48:00,559 apparently the college theist quite the AI program US. Oh, Night Skylard, 594 00:48:00,639 --> 00:48:05,840 Oh did we did we get an answer? Oh no, Night Skylard said, 595 00:48:06,119 --> 00:48:12,119 you said it from us. Well, that wasn't the question. What 596 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:17,639 is the magic eight bells? They now, Oh we got an answer. 597 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:23,599 Night Skylard says, we just ate Taco bell hashtag Matt. There you go, 598 00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:29,119 Well what did you what did you have from Taco Bell? Nights Skylard 599 00:48:30,199 --> 00:48:37,519 play this game all day six three two five oh six zero seven. The 600 00:48:37,519 --> 00:48:39,960 studio line is open if you have any questions or comments or anything at all. 601 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,719 For Mike Laughlin, who is going to u in the second hour, 602 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,559 He's going to play a few songs live for us, really looking forward to 603 00:48:45,599 --> 00:48:50,239 that. When you play out when you play out shows, do you still 604 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,400 play songs that go way back, like like the early stuff, all the 605 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:58,440 way back to the band something, because I think that that's a band you 606 00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,280 were in when I first met it, right you were in? Yeah, 607 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:08,039 yeah, yeah, I do not much because again, those songs are harder 608 00:49:08,079 --> 00:49:14,239 to do with me and a voice and a guitar to get the effect because 609 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:19,480 some of them were built on sound and not chords. Even there's kind of 610 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,840 a there's a kind of vibe created, Like there's a song called Buried in 611 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:27,440 You which was on that which I can't I just can't play it. I 612 00:49:27,519 --> 00:49:30,760 mean I've I've messed around with someone to try and rearrange. I do it 613 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:34,840 all the time. I'll rearrange the songs. Yeah, but it doesn't it's 614 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:37,440 not worth doing it. Let's stay where it stays and I can play other 615 00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:40,719 songs. I mean this this plenty. I definitely, as I do do 616 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:45,559 that. I've played song of Ascension from that time, which is an old 617 00:49:45,599 --> 00:49:49,119 song, which I'll played that sometimes. I think, I remember that one 618 00:49:49,159 --> 00:49:51,320 you've heard, You've heard a bunch of them, End of the World. 619 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:55,960 I've done that once or twice. But like I let those songs work better 620 00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:01,639 in a band situation. Yeah, I don't feel the need to play them 621 00:50:01,679 --> 00:50:05,679 like I don't if I had a full band, i'd be different conversation, 622 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,280 but like it, don't feel the need. And some of them, like 623 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:14,400 under the World, if I'm playing at some bar that song, my voice 624 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:19,079 would become an annoyance because it's like, I really go there's a part, 625 00:50:19,119 --> 00:50:24,199 there's a there's a top to that song, which is back when my voice 626 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:29,920 was strong. Yeah, I gotta get up. That was like you read 627 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:31,920 you could scrape the clouds with that one. It's sawing some good days, 628 00:50:32,119 --> 00:50:37,920 yeah, and that would that's not appropriate for it's That's the weird thing doing 629 00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,000 this kind of thing is when you go to a club to see a band, 630 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:45,039 the people are there to see the band or see music. When you're 631 00:50:45,079 --> 00:50:50,800 playing at pubs and restaurants that kind of thing, they're there for food and 632 00:50:51,119 --> 00:50:54,599 the night out with their friends or family or whatever, and the music is 633 00:50:54,639 --> 00:50:59,440 kind of a nice accompaniment. Yeah, it's a nice add on it's soundtrack. 634 00:50:59,519 --> 00:51:01,159 It's it's not the same thing as I won't play the places where I'm 635 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:05,599 sonic wallpaper. I won't do that. Yeah, I don't. I always 636 00:51:05,599 --> 00:51:07,159 say I'm not in the marin Era restaurant crowd. I don't. I'm not 637 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:13,079 from my corner. Like, I do understand that some songs are just not 638 00:51:13,119 --> 00:51:15,679 going to fit in a venue because it's two. It's not meant for that, 639 00:51:16,079 --> 00:51:20,519 So I choose my songs based on that sometimes. Yeah, it's just 640 00:51:20,559 --> 00:51:22,320 the way it is. It's just yeah, yeah, well you have you 641 00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:27,440 have a lot. You've written so much that you have a lot to choose 642 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,599 from too, which is nice. And I'm mostly playing, honestly now, 643 00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:34,159 the majority of the stuff I play now, other than the cover songs or 644 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,880 the new stuff. Yeah, I just want to focus on it. And 645 00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:42,559 they're also just they said they're more song catchy songs that are like they I'm 646 00:51:42,559 --> 00:51:45,400 excited for playing them one, but they're also just they fit that kind of 647 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:50,400 venue better. They're just that kind of vibe. So whatever I mean, 648 00:51:50,639 --> 00:51:52,800 I'm lucky to have those, I guess, and I'll take I'll take them 649 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,880 over most people's songs about that. There you go, you go. Oh 650 00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:00,440 we did get an answer, Night Skylard says, we add soft talk goes 651 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:07,440 and nachos a little vague corn tortilla. So they said soft taco okay, 652 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,920 soft off okay, flower and nachos. All right, Where does what's the 653 00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:16,239 best non taco bell restaurant in Greensboro? Oh? Good question, Like, 654 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:22,719 what's the local restaurant? No chains? M hmm. I want to answer 655 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,920 because I'm flying to Greensboro to do a show in one week. Oh wow, 656 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:30,800 yeah, one one show. Joe Friday in the chat room said, 657 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:37,000 diarrhea special. That happens to me if I eat pizza hut that's not real 658 00:52:37,039 --> 00:52:45,679 pizza, great breadsticks. But yes, oh yes, Night Skylard says, 659 00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:51,440 we say, Mike, good question. I'll wait for a better answer. 660 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:57,079 Yes, yes, let's see. So, uh, where do you do 661 00:52:57,159 --> 00:53:01,559 you have favorite places that you play when you when you play out? Yeah, 662 00:53:01,639 --> 00:53:07,159 I there's people there. There's reasons for the different reasons for different places, 663 00:53:07,760 --> 00:53:12,159 just like the people who There's a place called the White Mountain Tavern in 664 00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:16,159 Lincoln. Love those guys, they're just Dave and Melissa. They're just cool 665 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:22,719 people to me. Defiant Records in Laconia is a new place by the Colonial 666 00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:24,519 Theater. Remember the Colonial Theater. Yes, the record store right next to 667 00:53:24,519 --> 00:53:30,920 it now with the pub ok idea. Yeah, and actually you know who 668 00:53:30,039 --> 00:53:35,480 provides the records there is Do you know Gavin McDaniel the band Do you know 669 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:39,360 the band is the Noise? Yes, Okay, I interviewed them. I 670 00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:44,199 used to play with them years ago, and I think he's the guy who 671 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:49,679 now provides a lot of their albums. There like so cool place. I 672 00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:53,440 love Kristin, the owner there too, and it's a cool place. There's 673 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:59,119 a place in Plymouth called the Last Chair, which is probably my with the 674 00:53:59,159 --> 00:54:06,159 mixture of the location, the people, the reception, the food, it's 675 00:54:06,199 --> 00:54:08,679 probably my favorite place to play. Yeah, it just for all the ingredients 676 00:54:08,679 --> 00:54:14,199 combined. But like, yeah, it's I can't play much down south here. 677 00:54:15,079 --> 00:54:19,360 It's because I don't know if you know the rules there's it's you. 678 00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:23,320 I have you go through agencies and I won't mention any names because I want 679 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:27,199 to be an a hole about it, but you have to, like you 680 00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:29,920 have to go through certain people, or you can't get in because they run 681 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:31,519 every club. Yeah, like you we go through our agency, or you 682 00:54:31,519 --> 00:54:35,360 can't get it, can't get in right right, I quit. Sounds like 683 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:37,679 I'm not gonna. I can't play off in anyway. So it's not worth 684 00:54:37,679 --> 00:54:40,960 it to me. Yeah, the hustle, so it's not like I'm losing 685 00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,719 that much. So oh, we did get an answer to that last question. 686 00:54:45,039 --> 00:54:52,639 Night Skylard says at high Point Road close to Groomtown in Greensboro, North 687 00:54:52,679 --> 00:54:55,280 Carolina. Never mentioned the name of the place, but it's at high Point 688 00:54:55,360 --> 00:55:00,800 Road close to Groomtown in Greensboro, North Carolina, apparently is where you can 689 00:55:01,119 --> 00:55:04,880 get I don't even remember what the question was. Now, is it what's 690 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,400 the best non chain restaurant? Yes, yes, yeah, don't know, 691 00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:13,440 but but it's at high Point Road. If that helps. So when you 692 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,360 go to play that show there, ask for I'll write that down, ask 693 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:20,840 for high Point Road and I'll just am I knocking on a door. Yeah, 694 00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:22,760 just knock on somebody's source to say hey, I'm looking for a high 695 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,519 Point Road. And if they don't know where high Point Road is, you 696 00:55:25,519 --> 00:55:30,079 can just say, well it's I'm told it's close to Groomtown in Greensboro. 697 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:35,360 Who is what's their name again? What is their collective name, Night's Skylard? 698 00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:42,159 Is it one person who knows. I don't want to be disrespectful, 699 00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,480 but I'm just trying to I'm trying to nail it down because they seem very 700 00:55:45,519 --> 00:55:49,199 informative. Yes, and so when I go there, maybe I should just 701 00:55:49,199 --> 00:55:52,599 look them up. Oh yes, look up? What is their real name? 702 00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:57,880 As far as I know, it's nights Skylard. Is that is Skylard? 703 00:55:58,079 --> 00:56:00,920 Is that is that British? I don't know. I think it's a 704 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:06,119 common name in Greensboro, North Carolina. It's like a family, uh that 705 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,719 that you know, the Skylards, they run that city. It's not Oh 706 00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:14,519 yeah, I see what you're talking about. Yeah yeah, yeah. Hello 707 00:56:14,559 --> 00:56:17,760 to Eric Street in the Facebook lave chat, Oh Night Skylard says, we 708 00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:23,159 are five members. We are a pop singing group USA. Are they from 709 00:56:23,199 --> 00:56:28,360 South Korea? No, They're from Greensboro, North Carolina. How dare you? 710 00:56:28,519 --> 00:56:31,400 Well? Where where are you originally? Soap? So? Can I 711 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:35,559 look you guys up online? Because I think I want to promote you to 712 00:56:35,599 --> 00:56:39,159 the world.

That's a good two 714 00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:52,480 questions. That is a good two questions. Night Skylard will probably I'm gonna 715 00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,159 make a prediction, it's probably going to say that they are. They have 716 00:56:55,199 --> 00:57:01,480 a karaoke show coming up at I think it's us Saint Pious the Tenth Church 717 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:08,320 in Greensboro.

He's playing a few songs for us. And uh so that's how 854 01:15:56,119 --> 01:16:00,279 new is that? You said, that's pretty recent I wrote it. Yeah, 855 01:16:00,319 --> 01:16:02,640 it's a newer I mean it's last two years. Yeah, yeah, 856 01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:05,680 I haven't. Yeah, and that's one of the ones you and Sean are 857 01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:11,279 working on recording. Yeah, very nice, very nice. Yeah, it's 858 01:16:11,399 --> 01:16:16,319 it's a have you seen I don't like giving away songs like what they are 859 01:16:16,319 --> 01:16:19,680 about, and it's not really about whatever. This isn't giving anything away. 860 01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:26,439 But yeah, have you seen the movie uh Star was Born? You know, 861 01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:30,119 I'm Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper one I have not? It is very 862 01:16:30,159 --> 01:16:34,720 good, is it? And Bradley Cooper is amazing in it? And I 863 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:39,239 remember watching that and I was like, I want to try and write a 864 01:16:39,279 --> 01:16:42,840 song as if I was that character. It was like an experiment more than 865 01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:45,039 anything. I was like, I'm gonna try and come up with an interesting 866 01:16:45,039 --> 01:16:46,199 way to write a song. And I was like, this is a song. 867 01:16:47,119 --> 01:16:50,439 I would have written this as him. Oh okay. Interesting. It's 868 01:16:50,439 --> 01:16:54,960 a good movie though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Jenny Jenny said in 869 01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:59,279 the chat room kick Ass. She really liked it, and uh night, 870 01:16:59,359 --> 01:17:10,079 Skylard says, woo awesome. Mike Lacklan right from us once again, Skylard, 871 01:17:13,239 --> 01:17:18,880 you we they are the best, and Melody Liberty said the bottom this 872 01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:23,399 guy is such a perv. I don't think it's uh fat bottom girls. 873 01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:26,880 I stole it from them, right right. It's probably good that you explained. 874 01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:29,800 It's okay. I think whatever you want. I shouldn't explained. I 875 01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:31,720 don't like that, but made me think like that was the experiment I was 876 01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:33,600 doing. How about that? Yeah? Yeah, no, that's cool. 877 01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:35,960 That's cool. All right, Well you want to play another one? I'm 878 01:17:38,079 --> 01:17:41,920 impend to the one that guitar sounds really good? Does it? I can't 879 01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,800 tell what the headphones on what sounds good or not? Yea, my voice 880 01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:47,199 sounds weird? Really? Can I take it off when I'm playing? Oh? 881 01:17:47,279 --> 01:17:49,920 Absolutely, it sounds weird to me? Absolutely? Yeah. The only 882 01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:53,199 reason you'd really need him is if, you know, if we get a 883 01:17:53,279 --> 01:17:56,680 call, because you'll put him back on when I've done. Yeah, yeah, 884 01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:01,319 yeah, no, that's cool. Yeah yeah, yeah, I can 885 01:18:01,319 --> 01:18:04,039 play another new one, I guess. Yeah, this is my newest one 886 01:18:04,119 --> 01:18:11,960 I've been playing out. Uh, it's called the sentimental kind. Okay, 887 01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:44,680 we'll start sitting there twisting wine. She was staring at the wall on the 888 01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:56,159 loute line, a bribing memory place in her mind. Curiosity, it comes 889 01:18:56,239 --> 01:19:03,920 to your mind now, I I'm not gonna say she's wrong, all right, 890 01:19:10,279 --> 01:19:21,039 but I can tell she's the siner man til kind. We'll thought. 891 01:19:21,079 --> 01:19:28,439 I took a chance to make her smile, so I played the food, 892 01:19:29,039 --> 01:19:35,000 but done in style, and when she looked at me with some surprise, 893 01:19:38,319 --> 01:19:47,800 I have the melody behind those eyes.

Mike Laughlin is here with us in studio. By the way, 906 01:22:33,399 --> 01:22:40,760 Nights Skylard did apologize for forgetting your name wrong. I forgot their name 907 01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:45,880 too, so it's okay. Uh, let's see. DJ Steve is on 908 01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:48,600 the Facebook live chat. I get to hang out with J Steve every Friday 909 01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:54,479 night for Retro Spectrum Radio with Paul C from eight to eleven pm here at 910 01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:58,680 w m n H ninety five point three FM, along with of course, 911 01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:01,760 uh Mike from Queen City Cabinetry also joins to sign that show. DJ C 912 01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:06,520 says, good afternoon, great show, awesome tunes, very nice. So 913 01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:11,039 you've got a new fan there, Thank you, sy and night Skylard said, 914 01:23:11,239 --> 01:23:15,680 great tune from us. It was written by them. Wow, So 915 01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:19,119 I did take it to be honest. I had no idea. I had 916 01:23:19,159 --> 01:23:26,119 no idea. That's astounding. You did tell me off air that the band 917 01:23:26,239 --> 01:23:29,439 Floodwatch actually covered one of your songs, which I didn't realize. Yeah, 918 01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:31,560 nothing left to say the one you opened the show with, Yeah, amazing. 919 01:23:31,600 --> 01:23:35,359 They were probably probably my favorite band in New Hampshire, no kidding. 920 01:23:35,359 --> 01:23:38,960 When they were Yeah, I remember interviewing them a long time ago. Are 921 01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:41,880 they still together. I don't think so. I don't. It's been a 922 01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:45,239 while. Yeah, so they were just I don't know, there was something 923 01:23:45,279 --> 01:23:47,319 they had to have, this grit and soul that I love and this kind 924 01:23:47,359 --> 01:23:54,279 of they were like Johnny Cash if he picked up it was like a darkness 925 01:23:54,359 --> 01:23:57,960 and mood to them. That was just amazing to me. Yeah, he 926 01:23:58,079 --> 01:24:01,840 had a Dave had a great voice and their songs were great. Yeah. 927 01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:05,479 So they were unique too, so no one else sounded like them. I'll 928 01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:10,800 have to see if I can find that song online. Flood Watch would be 929 01:24:11,039 --> 01:24:15,000 a very appropriate name for for now, it's maybe they should reunite. It 930 01:24:15,079 --> 01:24:19,800 seems like around here we're always having floods. It was a weird summer. 931 01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:25,640 Absolutely, absolutely, Do you want to play one more? You said you 932 01:24:25,680 --> 01:24:28,800 wanted to do three? I could do one more. I guess do one 933 01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:38,600 more. I'll maybe I'll do one from the past before I play. Yes. 934 01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:43,279 So I was thinking about this the day as a person who interviews musician 935 01:24:43,399 --> 01:24:49,920 musicians, Yes, who's the best interview in rock? Like what musician is 936 01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:54,920 the best. I think I know the answer, but what's why what you 937 01:24:55,880 --> 01:25:02,159 Noel Gallagher? Yeah, I think it is just so candid and funny. 938 01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:08,760 Yeah, and you don't get It's one of the reasons why I find music. 939 01:25:09,239 --> 01:25:13,520 Music interviews are bland as can be for the most part, especially now 940 01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:18,399 because everyone's I think since the cell phone, the iPhone. I think honestly, 941 01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:21,479 one of the reasons why rock there's no rock stars is because of the 942 01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:27,319 cell phone, because everything and then social media you can see everyone's movements and 943 01:25:27,399 --> 01:25:30,239 what they're saying, and no one wants to be heard saying the wrong thing. 944 01:25:30,359 --> 01:25:35,119 So what Axel Rose might have said nineteen eighty eight, or what Led 945 01:25:35,199 --> 01:25:39,520 Zepplin might have done on tour Milwaukee in nineteen seventy four, or you know 946 01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:42,840 all these things, Yeah, you didn't have that with a cell phone. 947 01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:46,079 So, like, everyone's so careful. So when you hear someone like Noel 948 01:25:46,159 --> 01:25:50,199 Gallagher just get up there and say anything, it's like God, yes, 949 01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:56,520 and he's hilarious. Yeah yeah, so yeah, i'd probably agree with you. 950 01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,800 I would also put probably out Scooper in the mix. I haven't heard 951 01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:03,760 him in a long time interview, so I don't. His interviews are always 952 01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:08,760 really interesting. But I know what you mean. You know it's funny, 953 01:26:09,079 --> 01:26:12,920 uh you know, as you know, Kiss is my favorite band, But 954 01:26:13,359 --> 01:26:16,920 I've never enjoyed their interviews much because they tend to be very They're so mindful 955 01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:20,199 of everything that they say. They're almost it's a business for them. They're 956 01:26:20,239 --> 01:26:26,439 they're almost too careful. They did open up, they were recently interviewed by 957 01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:30,439 Howard Stern, and you know, now that they're in their seventies, there 958 01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:33,039 they open up a lot more. But Gene Simmons in particular has always been 959 01:26:33,159 --> 01:26:36,920 so guarded about what he says. You know that, you know, I'd 960 01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:41,079 never feel like I like I'm learning much, And now that I'm thinking about 961 01:26:41,119 --> 01:26:43,800 it, that's actually true of a lot of a lot of the musicians I 962 01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:47,520 grew up loving are like that. But but now even more so, You're 963 01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:51,399 right. I mean, social media really changed the dynamics, and now everyone's 964 01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:57,359 very worried about saying the wrong because I think every I've had this theory that 965 01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:01,159 everything in public life would last since the phone own his optics, everything, 966 01:27:01,359 --> 01:27:06,359 because you could get in trouble at work, you could your your could get 967 01:27:06,399 --> 01:27:11,479 sacked from your job. You could your sales from your album go down if 968 01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:15,720 you're a musician. There's a million factors of this. So it's saying the 969 01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:20,199 wrong thing now because the Twitter mob could eat you alive, or there's a 970 01:27:20,239 --> 01:27:24,760 picture of you which Iggy Pop in nineteen eighty wouldn't have to worry about. 971 01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:28,840 You know, it's like it's but now it's like everyone is careful that it's 972 01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,560 that kind of that lack of danger is in the air, like that kind 973 01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:35,399 of one of the beautiful things about rock and roll is and I mean rock 974 01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:40,720 and roll loosely isn't music really, but like is the kind of the rock 975 01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:45,399 star idea was the kind of care freeness. I mean, we don't care 976 01:27:45,079 --> 01:27:47,239 but now but like so you don't. I think it's one of the big 977 01:27:47,319 --> 01:27:53,239 reasons why there was no rock stars because if you think of imagine Jim Morrison, 978 01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:59,039 imagine David Lee Roth in his prime. Now you wouldn't be allowed to 979 01:27:59,079 --> 01:28:01,359 be that guy yeah loud, like you know what I mean, But like 980 01:28:01,399 --> 01:28:05,840 it's it's not it'll be frowned upon. So but my always I always come 981 01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:12,760 back to this is I think that it's kind of nonsense because especially with Jim 982 01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:16,039 Morrison and with David Lee Roth. I know, maybe more girls who like 983 01:28:17,199 --> 01:28:23,119 The Doors and Men and Aerosmith, and I know so women love those bands 984 01:28:23,199 --> 01:28:26,640 too. It's not like it's not like, oh, every every woman's like 985 01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:30,319 what a what a misogynist? Like it's a weird rock and roll always had 986 01:28:30,359 --> 01:28:34,039 this mystery danger area. It's like this weird fantasy that would like I remember 987 01:28:34,079 --> 01:28:39,800 hearing Cheryl Crowe say that she lost to Virginia to Robert Plant because it was 988 01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:43,680 the way he made her feel when he sang like he was like the way 989 01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:45,640 that she was like, Oh, there was something about the way he's saying 990 01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:53,359 that just made me, you know. Yeah. And there's something about rock 991 01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:58,680 stars that are like that that you can't put in a box. Yeah, 992 01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:02,640 And it's something interesting that it's not we can't behave that way now for a 993 01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:06,199 billion reasons. But I think the energy of that is gone, you know 994 01:29:06,239 --> 01:29:10,239 what I mean. I think there's an energy that was existed. And here's 995 01:29:10,359 --> 01:29:14,159 here's here's a full disclosure. I was not a Kiss fan. I'm not 996 01:29:14,279 --> 01:29:16,439 a Van Halen fan, So I'm not like I'm like, oh yeah, 997 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:20,039 but I'm just saying the rock star idea that we have in our head of 998 01:29:20,079 --> 01:29:26,039 Steven Tyler and all those guys and gals too, like like a Courtney Love 999 01:29:28,119 --> 01:29:32,720 that they're so free spirited, and the free spirit seems to me, to 1000 01:29:32,840 --> 01:29:38,359 me, it's been caged, like the energy is caged right now, and 1001 01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:43,960 it's like run, name me the biggest rock star in America. Well, 1002 01:29:44,079 --> 01:29:48,359 I would say while Metallica is still huge, they might be, but I 1003 01:29:48,399 --> 01:29:51,720 would say food fighters are big. Well, that's I was thinking about Dave 1004 01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:57,079 Grohl actually while you were talking, because there's an example of somebody he is. 1005 01:29:57,359 --> 01:29:59,880 But here's my bigger point. I'm gonna get to Yeah, Dave, 1006 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,560 girls like fifty two? Yeah, where's the twenty three rols? Right? 1007 01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:05,600 Where the young? That's because rock and roll, let's be honest, is 1008 01:30:05,640 --> 01:30:09,239 a young person's thing, the same way rap as a young person's thing. 1009 01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:13,119 It's the energy to a youth. Metal and punk those are like yeah, 1010 01:30:13,399 --> 01:30:16,720 like kids like having the energy and going out and feeling that kind of youthful 1011 01:30:16,800 --> 01:30:19,439 vibe. If we're all going to experience this together, Yeah, And I 1012 01:30:19,560 --> 01:30:26,119 just feel like Mattel is something about these old kids are listening to older bands 1013 01:30:26,239 --> 01:30:30,680 now because that's all there is for rock, there's no I mean maybe is 1014 01:30:30,720 --> 01:30:34,399 the biggest band imagine Dragons. See. I think there's a lot of I 1015 01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:39,520 think if you go on Spotify or or on other sides like band camp, 1016 01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:43,880 I think they're I guess I see it a little bit differently in that I 1017 01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:47,800 don't think there's there's certainly not a lack of rock bands. That's when I'm 1018 01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:51,399 getting the cultural the cultural impact. But how do you break through? But 1019 01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:57,319 is it is that because of what you're talking about in terms of everyone has 1020 01:30:57,399 --> 01:31:03,439 to be more careful or is it more just everything's changed because the Internet changed 1021 01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:06,359 the dynamics of everything, many variables. I think it's not just one, 1022 01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:12,359 but I think it's a combination of you put all that stew together. There's 1023 01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:16,960 no young rock bands that are the way when we were younger, rock was 1024 01:31:17,079 --> 01:31:20,479 big. You could turn on rock was the king, right And I know 1025 01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:24,960 and again I mean rock rap two like you could you could listen to Tupac 1026 01:31:25,039 --> 01:31:29,079 Biggie, You'd have Nirvana, you'd have Sound Garden, you'd have Metallica. 1027 01:31:29,319 --> 01:31:33,640 These were bands that were like on the radio as top top one hundred bands. 1028 01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:38,520 Yeah, like these are they permeated culture there's none of that now that 1029 01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:44,159 don't that doesn't get through. It's all the same Swedish producer kind of making 1030 01:31:44,239 --> 01:31:47,520 the same four or five people and just it's and then I mean, I'll 1031 01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:51,159 give credit to Ed Shearon because he does I think he does his own stuff. 1032 01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:55,079 It's not my thing, but like I think he. I think Taylor 1033 01:31:55,199 --> 01:31:58,880 Swift, even though she has like fifty producers, I think she writes most 1034 01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:02,439 of her songs. I believe, so I'll give credit. But like as 1035 01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:06,399 far as that rock energy, Ed Sheer and Taylor Swift don't give off the 1036 01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:10,760 rock five. They're not like they're not like the kind of thing you put 1037 01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:14,920 your imagination to and go, you know, like that kind of like poster 1038 01:32:15,079 --> 01:32:16,479 on the wall, like, oh there's something about them. I want to 1039 01:32:17,239 --> 01:32:19,439 like, I said those guys I mentioned before, Well, you know, 1040 01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:24,680 twenty years ago, Jean Simmons was saying that at that time that and maybe 1041 01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:27,800 this wouldn't hold up now, but he was saying then that that hip hop 1042 01:32:28,039 --> 01:32:30,399 artists whore the new rocks start. There was some of that, and I 1043 01:32:30,520 --> 01:32:33,520 think that because because they had at that point some of that same energy that 1044 01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:38,880 maybe the early rock stars had. I think that that did happen. It 1045 01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:42,640 did trends, it did move. But I think it's a lot of combinations 1046 01:32:42,680 --> 01:32:45,079 of factors here. It's just weird to me. It's like I keep saying, 1047 01:32:45,119 --> 01:32:48,039 when whenever I got these conversations at bars or with other people, like 1048 01:32:48,359 --> 01:32:53,199 where are the twenty three year olds? Okay, where are they beating perm 1049 01:32:53,279 --> 01:32:56,479 and the culture? I don't mean because all the people we've mentioned, including 1050 01:32:56,600 --> 01:33:00,359 including Ed Sheer and including Taylor Swift, are all in their thirties. I 1051 01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:02,239 believe, no, not, you can't play in your thirties. I mean 1052 01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:06,199 the emerging artists young, the movement of youth. The same way in the 1053 01:33:06,279 --> 01:33:10,279 sixties and the seventies and the eighties and the nineties, there were all people 1054 01:33:10,319 --> 01:33:14,039 in their early twenties, right, So I don't know what's happened. I 1055 01:33:14,119 --> 01:33:19,279 don't is part of it is learning the guitar too too much because they're distracted 1056 01:33:19,319 --> 01:33:23,840 by so many things and it just takes too much alone time. I don't 1057 01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:27,640 know. I don't know the answer. It just there's a lot of it's 1058 01:33:27,720 --> 01:33:31,720 sad to me, and it sounds like old man on the But like I 1059 01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:36,239 do believe, and I've heard you know who Rick Biado is no great music 1060 01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:40,640 YouTube channel musician, and I've heard him discuss something like this too. Is 1061 01:33:40,680 --> 01:33:45,680 it just is it's it's it's weird to not see it existing anymore. It's 1062 01:33:45,680 --> 01:33:50,239 like no one's playing songs like that anymore, like in the again, in 1063 01:33:50,279 --> 01:33:54,159 the culture, that's my thing. Of course there's always bands it exists, 1064 01:33:54,239 --> 01:33:57,640 but right, but but somebody is playing songs like that though somewhere, but 1065 01:33:57,800 --> 01:34:00,840 somewhere, but it's an ocean Somewhere's my point. I mean, the kind 1066 01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:04,279 of the kind of the way it dictated culture, the way it was like 1067 01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:08,479 in the sixties you had the Stones and the Beatles, and the fact that 1068 01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:11,600 Crosby, Stills and Nash was listened to by sixteen year olds. Imagine that 1069 01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:15,359 Now that doesn't sound sixteen year old music. True, Now that doesn't the 1070 01:34:15,439 --> 01:34:19,319 same way jazz Maybe Frank Sinatras and telling sixteen year old music either, But 1071 01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:25,079 like there's something about the energy of those whether it was jazz, whether it 1072 01:34:25,159 --> 01:34:29,119 was Elvis, whether it was Sinatra, whether it was punk rock, whether 1073 01:34:29,199 --> 01:34:31,920 it was metal, whether it was grunge, whether it was all the way 1074 01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:39,199 up to like the Strokes or something. What happened after that I don't know. 1075 01:34:39,479 --> 01:34:44,119 I just and that coincidentally is the same time the iPhone came in coincidentally, 1076 01:34:44,199 --> 01:34:47,359 right around that late two thousands. Yeah, the knots is it is 1077 01:34:48,199 --> 01:34:55,279 there Maybe just maybe there's just not as much to rebel against anymore. There's 1078 01:34:55,279 --> 01:34:59,159 always, but there's always it's always youthful rebellion. You just get mad at 1079 01:34:59,319 --> 01:35:02,560 every I mean, think about half the stuff I remember myself and other people 1080 01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:06,600 just being mad about was not real. You just have that. It's just 1081 01:35:06,680 --> 01:35:12,479 that energy to say fu, it's a big middle finger whatever whatever it is. 1082 01:35:13,239 --> 01:35:15,680 And so there's obviously kids doing that. I just think it's like, 1083 01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:21,399 I don't I don't know. It's a weird time. It's a weird, 1084 01:35:23,359 --> 01:35:27,039 but I feel like it's it's it's waiting to burst through. I know that 1085 01:35:27,119 --> 01:35:30,960 it's going to it's going to again. I just don't know who it will 1086 01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:33,840 be. There's a couple of artists who have heard. There's a guy Nay 1087 01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:36,720 Maren who I always shout out, Oh, Jenny is a big fan of 1088 01:35:36,840 --> 01:35:41,800 his. He's Prince. I want to curse it, I won't. He's 1089 01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:48,039 so good. Yeah, and he's unique. He's a person that I would 1090 01:35:48,039 --> 01:35:50,439 say is pretty great. He's a rap, he is rapid, he can 1091 01:35:50,479 --> 01:35:55,000 do everything, do everything, you can play guitar, he's like Prince. 1092 01:35:55,199 --> 01:35:59,439 Yeah, he's just like a supernova. Yeah. But I don't I don't 1093 01:36:00,039 --> 01:36:02,760 know, to be fair, I don't listen the way I used to listen 1094 01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:06,239 as much. I don't much scouring music the way when we worked in a 1095 01:36:06,319 --> 01:36:10,199 music store. You can scour through the three days, right, I don't 1096 01:36:10,279 --> 01:36:15,399 know what the kids are listening to when when you're when you play your next 1097 01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:18,560 song. While you're doing that, I'm gonna pull up the current Billboard Hot 1098 01:36:18,640 --> 01:36:21,479 one hundred. I want to look at it. I bet there's a lot 1099 01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:26,199 of bad Bunny, a lot of a lot of people with the name Lil 1100 01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:32,199 But but even but even even those people, that's not. I guarantee you 1101 01:36:32,359 --> 01:36:36,279 most rap fans will say that's not. But it becomes weird. It's big. 1102 01:36:36,399 --> 01:36:40,920 It's like every older generation says, the new thing sucks, right, 1103 01:36:41,039 --> 01:36:43,640 you know what I mean? But like, is that ever true? You 1104 01:36:43,680 --> 01:36:46,159 know, like no, no, I've probably said this you before. But 1105 01:36:46,319 --> 01:36:49,920 my my dad, who listens to the show, you know, he's I 1106 01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:53,800 think he's seventy six years old now, and he to this day. So 1107 01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:58,119 he lives on the Sea coast and uh, he loves listening to college radio 1108 01:36:58,199 --> 01:37:02,039 like he loves wunh because my dad, no matter how old he gets, 1109 01:37:02,119 --> 01:37:05,600 he still loves hearing new music. It's great and new rock bands. That's 1110 01:37:05,640 --> 01:37:10,359 how he's that's how he's always been. Because most people, I feel like, 1111 01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:13,680 by the time they hit thirty, it's like it's just natural. It's 1112 01:37:13,720 --> 01:37:17,840 like they just go, Okay. All the music up to this point was 1113 01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:23,479 really good, and anything that comes comes out after this point in my life, 1114 01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:27,680 I'm going to hate. Which musicians don't think that. That's no, 1115 01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:31,079 that's because yes, you're right, but but but Normy's quote unquote do think 1116 01:37:31,159 --> 01:37:34,760 that most people think associate music with youth, right, I remember what being 1117 01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:40,000 sixteen years old driving in my car with my friends and I heard that song 1118 01:37:40,399 --> 01:37:44,479 and then but your musicians don't think that way, right, There's it's just 1119 01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:47,920 that's why those people join bands or become obsessive whatever. Yeah, like the 1120 01:37:48,039 --> 01:37:57,119 Captain, But it is a thing. But I do think there were people 1121 01:37:57,119 --> 01:38:00,800 who are older, like who are part of the sixties generation and who would 1122 01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:06,960 listen to nineties rock and still understand it. Yeah, whereas I don't think 1123 01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:13,359 that's true of now. It's a different It's insanely simple. And I don't 1124 01:38:13,399 --> 01:38:20,079 mean simple as in the chords, I mean as in it's really I've heard 1125 01:38:20,199 --> 01:38:25,720 enough again because I I'm around, I heard enough kids stuff, you know. 1126 01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:30,000 And and they don't like it either. They prefer music from other time. 1127 01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:34,520 Yeah, they have Tupac shirts and Metallica shirts and Nirvana. I was 1128 01:38:34,560 --> 01:38:38,199 gonna say, I see a lot of young people wearing Nirvana shirt and and 1129 01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:43,159 that's it's both amazing and really great, but it's also sad to me because 1130 01:38:43,840 --> 01:38:46,199 you're supposed to rebel against the prior generation. That's your job kind of, 1131 01:38:46,439 --> 01:38:51,399 it's your job as a teenager. And and but it's not. I don't 1132 01:38:51,439 --> 01:38:54,960 know, it's it seems like we're in a stuck place right now, and 1133 01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:58,119 I just hope we get out of it soon. So I'll put you know 1134 01:38:58,199 --> 01:39:01,800 what you actually played my song I heard yesterday on the air. I'm like, 1135 01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:06,000 don't let the music stop. Don't let the music stop, don't let 1136 01:39:06,039 --> 01:39:10,560 the don't let don't let the passion go away, don't let the spirit. 1137 01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:14,479 That's to me is this thing as a person for me art matters to me. 1138 01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:19,159 It's like that's like my amoda religious person, but like that is the 1139 01:39:19,399 --> 01:39:25,520 closest thing to God for me. It's when I that's what I take, 1140 01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:29,119 like feel as much as I love movies, I take it seriously. I 1141 01:39:29,199 --> 01:39:34,439 do really love movies and music and art because that is my I think that's 1142 01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:39,760 the creative, that's the closest thing where some people can go for that. 1143 01:39:40,239 --> 01:39:44,520 Everyone's not going to be religious, but I think there are ways to access 1144 01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:47,199 access that for other people. And that's it from me. And so when 1145 01:39:47,239 --> 01:39:49,960 I talk about it, I think I take it more serious than other people. 1146 01:39:50,039 --> 01:39:53,720 And because most people it's just their lives and they want to have fun 1147 01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:57,239 and that's totally normal and understandable, but it's not that way for me. 1148 01:39:57,479 --> 01:40:00,640 Right So, Like if I get more passionate about it, it's not because 1149 01:40:00,039 --> 01:40:03,560 I'm better or anything like that, just that it matters more, you know. 1150 01:40:03,720 --> 01:40:09,439 And And so I don't know that was why am I talking so seriously 1151 01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:12,880 on the show. This is a comedy show, right man. You know, 1152 01:40:13,199 --> 01:40:15,760 it's it's it's whatever it is at any given moment. But but I 1153 01:40:15,880 --> 01:40:18,840 totally totally get what you're saying. Yeah, it's it's it is, and 1154 01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:24,039 it's no no soap fuck necessary. It's just it matters to me, and 1155 01:40:24,119 --> 01:40:27,239 I know it matters to a lot of people. And I just that spirit 1156 01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:30,560 of art I feel is in a weird place and I just am longing for 1157 01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:38,880 I'm longing for the Quentin Tarantinos and the Kurt Cobain's and the whoever to kind 1158 01:40:38,920 --> 01:40:44,039 of bust through just that kind of thing to kind of go, wow, 1159 01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:47,680 what was that? Because when I first saw Quentin Tarantino movies, I was 1160 01:40:47,720 --> 01:40:51,840 like, what is this? Right when I first heard Nirvana, you were 1161 01:40:51,960 --> 01:40:55,520 kind of more of a hair metal Would you call it hair metal? Would 1162 01:40:55,520 --> 01:40:58,560 you call eighties rock? I don't know what you I didn't like that. 1163 01:40:59,239 --> 01:41:01,279 I did like guns and Roses, but I didn't call it that. I 1164 01:41:01,359 --> 01:41:04,319 love guns through it. But like when I heard Nirvana or whatever it was, 1165 01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:09,359 for me, that was a what is this moment? And I think 1166 01:41:09,399 --> 01:41:13,479 those I imagine being like a fifteen year old right now, what is there? 1167 01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:16,960 What is this moment? Like that's a cool thing. Every person should 1168 01:41:16,960 --> 01:41:21,199 experience that and because it kind of changes you and for me, that's part 1169 01:41:21,199 --> 01:41:24,279 of the reason why I'm picking up a guitar. Right now and holding a 1170 01:41:24,279 --> 01:41:30,039 guitar is because I heard that went that's amazing, that's amazing, And I 1171 01:41:30,159 --> 01:41:31,520 don't know what that is. I don't know what that is right now? 1172 01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:35,880 What is the inspirational? Who are the inspirations I don't have? I can't 1173 01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:40,039 think of one. And I don't mean that to be mean. I just 1174 01:41:40,159 --> 01:41:46,880 don't hear anything. I mean the majority of anything that really excites that. 1175 01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:53,039 I can see me being fifteen year old me going whoa you know? Who 1176 01:41:53,079 --> 01:41:55,239 knows? Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I would have said something else, But 1177 01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:57,920 I was also not the kind of kid who said that often. Yeah, 1178 01:41:58,159 --> 01:42:02,840 so who knows. I'll shut up. All right, Mike Laughlin is in 1179 01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:05,920 studio with us, and you're gonna play Uh, don't let the music stop. 1180 01:42:06,039 --> 01:42:08,960 Yeah, I'll play that.

Awesome Mike Laughlin live in studio with us. 1208 01:48:49,840 --> 01:48:54,239 By the way, Mariam banishing the chat room says, nice voice really like 1209 01:48:54,439 --> 01:48:58,840 in this, thanks man, Gal. I was struggling so really yea, 1210 01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:05,079 yeah I could. I was getting night wow and night Skylard says, uh 1211 01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:13,800 oh awesome hashtag Michael Laughlin, we said from us, so they learned your 1212 01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:16,000 name. By the way, I did look up the Billboard Hot one hundred 1213 01:49:16,079 --> 01:49:21,119 and you were right about what part the lills. Yeah, and just said 1214 01:49:21,199 --> 01:49:25,600 no, no real rock bands. And I mean I didn't scroll down too 1215 01:49:25,640 --> 01:49:29,279 too far, but yeah, you're right. It's just is what it is. 1216 01:49:29,399 --> 01:49:33,640 I don't again, it doesn't it's not even that it's rock. That's 1217 01:49:33,680 --> 01:49:39,560 a personal thing for me, and I would think it always exists because here's 1218 01:49:42,079 --> 01:49:50,039 there's something attractive and tangible about seeing people play things that are real and getting 1219 01:49:50,119 --> 01:49:57,479 up there and sweating and making mistakes even but hearing and seeing that that energy 1220 01:49:57,720 --> 01:50:03,239 of people who created something coming together and using organic materials. Yeah, I 1221 01:50:03,319 --> 01:50:05,960 don't know what that. It's why I always love Jack White, he says 1222 01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:10,720 say something about that too. It's like that level of he would he would 1223 01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:15,720 buy crappy guitars and just struggle with them. And you don't have to go 1224 01:50:15,840 --> 01:50:18,279 that far. But there's something about we all know we see if you go 1225 01:50:18,319 --> 01:50:23,600 out and see people and you see them play, there's something just different than 1226 01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:28,119 hearing someone press a button, you know what I mean. It's why it's 1227 01:50:28,159 --> 01:50:30,600 why rap. I used to a couple of rap concerts when I was younger. 1228 01:50:30,920 --> 01:50:33,239 It was not good. Now sometimes you get like the Roots, but 1229 01:50:33,279 --> 01:50:39,640 they're not really just rap. Like there's it's something about just that beat. 1230 01:50:39,920 --> 01:50:45,760 Rhythm doesn't work by itself live. You need more tones and there's no if 1231 01:50:45,760 --> 01:50:49,319 you're not playing something, it doesn't work live. I have a theory about 1232 01:50:49,359 --> 01:50:54,000 that. I think that, yeah, And it does work better when it's 1233 01:50:54,199 --> 01:50:58,159 like like the Roots, where you have an instrument. Snoop Dogg doesn't too 1234 01:50:58,279 --> 01:51:00,279 sometimes the band Yeah, yeah, I think it works better with with I 1235 01:51:00,319 --> 01:51:03,600 think it works better that way because the problem is if if if it's just 1236 01:51:04,159 --> 01:51:08,039 beats with you know, a little bit of synth and whatnot, it doesn't 1237 01:51:08,079 --> 01:51:11,960 create a wall of sound. You have to have the wall of sound otherwise 1238 01:51:12,039 --> 01:51:14,880 it sounds thin. Yeah, because I've been to rap shows where I've felt 1239 01:51:14,920 --> 01:51:16,319 that too. It's like, you know, and I I love hip hop 1240 01:51:16,399 --> 01:51:21,359 actually, but but live in some cases it just doesn't work as well because 1241 01:51:21,399 --> 01:51:25,840 you if you don't have a wall of sound, the ears get bored, 1242 01:51:25,920 --> 01:51:28,760 you know, your ears. It's like because when you're listening to there's something 1243 01:51:28,840 --> 01:51:31,840 about it's like a recipe. Okay, so when you have if you just 1244 01:51:32,039 --> 01:51:35,800 have, if you have no salt or any spice, it's it might be 1245 01:51:35,960 --> 01:51:41,039 delicious fish or whatever, chicken or something. Yeah, but if there's nothing 1246 01:51:41,119 --> 01:51:46,399 else to preoccupy you your palette, it's just one note and after the fifteenth 1247 01:51:46,479 --> 01:51:51,720 bite, it's like the same thing you need to have. There's something too. 1248 01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:57,319 It's like an orchestra. You have the violin and the whole. There's 1249 01:51:57,359 --> 01:52:00,720 all these layers that kind of contribute to that whole that make it interesting to 1250 01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:06,159 the ear. And even in something like pop music when you have a guitar, 1251 01:52:06,279 --> 01:52:10,079 a bass, a drum, a piano or something, and even a 1252 01:52:10,159 --> 01:52:13,960 voice, different voices, background vocals. Yeah, there's something about that, 1253 01:52:14,159 --> 01:52:18,439 that's all. It's the hit some kind of harmony frequency that's appealing to people. 1254 01:52:18,720 --> 01:52:24,000 Yeah, and I think that you can tell now. And because because 1255 01:52:24,079 --> 01:52:30,720 of AI and because of auto tune, I don't know, there's something inauthentic. 1256 01:52:31,119 --> 01:52:35,640 I'd rather see someone struggle, but I would be really them yea, 1257 01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:39,479 than have it be. I mean, if you can't do it at all, 1258 01:52:39,600 --> 01:52:42,199 then you shouldn't be doing it right. I'd rather hear you struggle a 1259 01:52:42,279 --> 01:52:45,039 little bit. Like I really did struggle singing that last song. Really. 1260 01:52:45,359 --> 01:52:47,319 It was like there's a couple of times I had to kind of go tune 1261 01:52:47,319 --> 01:52:50,640 it down, just go in different directions. I've seen people I know who 1262 01:52:50,720 --> 01:52:56,640 can sing struggle. Sometimes it's like now you go all right, but like 1263 01:52:56,760 --> 01:53:00,640 it feels like you're in the moment and you're seeing someone delivers something right, 1264 01:53:00,840 --> 01:53:03,960 authentic, right, and you can't trade that. You can't just listen to 1265 01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:09,800 the alban home, right, you know, Glenn ar j will Let, 1266 01:53:09,880 --> 01:53:14,439 the People's mayors and the Chatwman says music lives in a life of its own 1267 01:53:14,720 --> 01:53:18,960 throughout the global universe, coming from all cultures throughout. Great show. Thank 1268 01:53:19,039 --> 01:53:25,520 you, thank you, Glenn Global universe. Wow deep, I think I 1269 01:53:25,600 --> 01:53:28,600 know what he means. Yeah, no, I do too, I do 1270 01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:34,720 too. Jay Fed said, do you need Matt to swab your throat? 1271 01:53:35,039 --> 01:53:39,279 I'm not a medical professional, Jay, Jay Fed, I don't think I 1272 01:53:39,359 --> 01:53:44,000 can help. After the show, Matt, right, well we are. 1273 01:53:44,319 --> 01:53:47,119 We are just about out a time. Mike. This is wonderful as always. 1274 01:53:48,760 --> 01:53:53,800 Great to see you and sound great and I love the new songs. 1275 01:53:54,840 --> 01:53:58,239 When's your next We should plug? Do you have anything coming up this weekend 1276 01:53:58,439 --> 01:54:01,279 or no, I'm the end of the month. I'm playing at Defiant Records 1277 01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:05,279 on a Friday. Whatever. That is the twenty nine. Thank you some 1278 01:54:05,399 --> 01:54:11,239 of that. Okay, yeah that's I've taken some time off, so yeah, 1279 01:54:11,319 --> 01:54:17,000 yeah, yeah, it's all good. I don't I don't expect It's 1280 01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:19,039 one of those things. But I don't expect people to come to the shows 1281 01:54:19,079 --> 01:54:21,319 like this. It's not a band thing. It's like again I said it 1282 01:54:21,359 --> 01:54:24,880 before earlier, it's like, you know, people are out. If you're 1283 01:54:24,880 --> 01:54:27,319 there, cool, if you're in town, stop on in have a drink, 1284 01:54:27,359 --> 01:54:30,199 some hang out, listen to something. I'm not good at promoting this 1285 01:54:30,319 --> 01:54:34,920 kind of thing, So it is what it is, very good. And 1286 01:54:35,079 --> 01:54:38,520 and for people who want to keep up on what you're doing, should they 1287 01:54:38,600 --> 01:54:45,560 just follow you on social media? You can. You can contact the skylards. 1288 01:54:45,239 --> 01:54:49,119 They have whatever they are, they have all my info. I'm not. 1289 01:54:49,720 --> 01:54:54,680 I stay off the kind of socialist for my music. As far as 1290 01:54:54,760 --> 01:54:58,359 promotion. I have my Facebook page. Well I was going to say usually, 1291 01:54:58,600 --> 01:55:01,359 but but I've only usually do that with my friends or people have met, 1292 01:55:02,119 --> 01:55:05,199 so I'm not really Again, I'm not good at selling myself for this. 1293 01:55:05,359 --> 01:55:10,159 It's not something I actively because what I'm doing is I always say it's 1294 01:55:10,199 --> 01:55:13,239 the commerce, not the art phase of this.
