Breaking news from beautiful Manchester, New Hampshire. An international coalition 14 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,639 has surely declared itself the supreme leader of all things rock and all things roll. 15 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,560 Tenents are rising as others have claimed themselves to be quote the senior of 16 00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:44,240 real rock and roll. But the coalition, founded and headed by Jerry Robinson 17 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:49,079 says these claims are unfounded. As you can see, war can be declared 18 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,160 at any moment. The smallest act of aggression can be seen by either side 19 00:04:54,279 --> 00:05:01,199 is oh god.

It is Friday, my favorite day of the 35 00:07:13,279 --> 00:07:15,240 week here at WMNH. It's my long day and I do love it. 36 00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:18,879 So i do this show till six pm, and then I'm back tonight from 37 00:07:18,879 --> 00:07:24,000 eight to eleven PM for Retro Spectrum Radio with PAULI C. And I have 38 00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:27,000 the honor and privilege of being one of Paul's co hosts on that show, 39 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,800 along with DJ Steve and of course Mike from Queen City Cabinetry. So that 40 00:07:30,839 --> 00:07:36,040 will be tonight. We have a very exciting and busy show for you today. 41 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,519 In a little bit, a little bit later in the hour, we're 42 00:07:40,519 --> 00:07:43,839 going to have Eric Pilcher's classic film review, and today the subject is the 43 00:07:43,959 --> 00:07:48,040 nineteen eighty two film The Collab as I think the Young people say, with 44 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:54,879 Stephen King and George A. Romero called creep Show. It's an anthology anthology 45 00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:59,360 film, very very cool. This humidity makes it apparently I'm having trouble speaking. 46 00:08:00,519 --> 00:08:03,319 It's very very humid, and I thought it was going to open up 47 00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:05,000 and pour, but it never quite happened, but it could happen yet if 48 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,759 you are in Manchester of course. And then coming up in the second hour, 49 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:13,519 we have a very special band here. We're gonna be joined in studio 50 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:18,079 by the band Soda and that is spelled st Ah Soda. That song that 51 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,680 you heard shadow at the top of the show, that is one of their 52 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,319 songs. So we're featuring some of their music today and they're going to come 53 00:08:24,319 --> 00:08:28,399 in and play live in studio for us in the second hour and we'll chat 54 00:08:28,439 --> 00:08:31,080 for a bit. So really looking forward to that. Also, I am 55 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,559 expecting a call. He did post a YouTube video saying he was going to 56 00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:41,919 call in Jerry Robinson himself from the band Jerry and the Scumbags. Yesterday we 57 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:48,360 featured all the entire eight tracks from the new album called Scum of the Earth 58 00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:54,440 and it also, in addition to Jerry Robinson on vocals, that features the 59 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,960 guitar stylings of Eric Pincher also known as Eric Pilcher. For some reason, 60 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,559 a stage name is Eric Pincher. I'm not sure why. I guess that 61 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,720 sounds more rock and roll, right. Pilcher is kind of a weird name, 62 00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:09,519 but but pincher, it just sounds very very rock, very metal, 63 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,039 and also of course Billy Painter on drums and yours. Well, I don't 64 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,039 know if I shouldn't give it away, but let's just say there's a guy 65 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,519 named Matzo who plays bass on the album. So maybe we'll talk about that 66 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:26,159 if Jerry calls in. But yes, so that was very exciting. Tons 67 00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:30,879 of positive feedback and it's already streaking up the charts. Yes, I think 68 00:09:30,879 --> 00:09:35,360 it's already cracked the Billboard Hot one hundred. So so we featured yesterday. 69 00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:37,080 We played the whole thing. You know, if you missed the show, 70 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,000 go back and check it out. It was fun. We spaced it out, 71 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,000 you know, didn't play the entire thing at once, but we spaced 72 00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:48,879 it out throughout the show, and tons of positive response and feedback on that. 73 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,320 So yeah, looking forward to speaking with Jerry Robinson today if he's if 74 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,440 he's able to call in, and hopefully he does it soon because obviously we've 75 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,919 got a lot going on as the show progress. But six zero three two 76 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,039 five zero six ZO seven is a studio line six zo three two five ozho 77 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,519 six zoo seven. You can also text me at six one seven nine one 78 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,799 seven four four seven six. I'm on social media at Matt Connerton.

But the best thing to do 81 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,519 so that we can hear and enjoy your dulcet tones is to give us a 82 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,480 call at six zero three two five ozho six zoo seven six zo three two 83 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,840 five zero six zero seven. By the way, another quick programming note two. 84 00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:37,480 For Monday of next week, we will have the world radio premiere of 85 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:41,679 the brand new single from Sepsis. It's called Romance and Reality. Heard it 86 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,919 today for the first time, really really good. So I believe it's already 87 00:10:43,919 --> 00:10:50,120 available online for your listening pleasure. But but we will have the world radio 88 00:10:50,279 --> 00:10:54,480 premiere the first time on FM Radio right here next week on the show end. 89 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,919 Oh well, I think I think I have an idea who this might 90 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,639 be? Hi, Welcome to Matt Connor. It's an unleashed Is this hello? 91 00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:07,120 Matts? So this is Jerry Robinson. Oh, Jerry, I'm so 92 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,879 glad you called my friend. The response to some of the Earth is just 93 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,600 fantastic. I've played the whole thing on the show yesterday, and everyone loves 94 00:11:16,639 --> 00:11:20,360 it. I know, I thought that Lady I was having issues with my 95 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,679 cellular telephone and it just would not allow me to call in, but that 96 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:30,559 guy said that I would call today. So you know, the reception has 97 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:37,879 been very good so far. There has been I think guysens and dozens of 98 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,639 streams. I believe I've said that in my previous video that I made. 99 00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:46,919 Yes, and of course I meant, did you hear those crisp, rocking 100 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:52,480 guitar leads from eric a Pecha? Yes, I'll tell you what he really 101 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:58,000 rips on that guitar. It's it's quite remarkable. Who knew, Jerry? 102 00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:01,960 I mean, I don't, no, I guess you know some people they 103 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,960 say that like you like a child podgy or something. So I think once 104 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:11,279 he just picked up the guitar that I mean, it just the music started 105 00:12:11,399 --> 00:12:16,639 flowing through him and just the magic happened. Of course, your basslines are 106 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,240 very, very very good. You held down the good middle end, the 107 00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:24,399 low end, and Billy he's just got those. He's like an animal from 108 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,600 them. Upp it's I mean, he was just rocking those drums out. 109 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,080 Yes, well he is from Idaho. That's how they do it there. 110 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,159 And as far as my basslines, I have to tell you, the songs 111 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,200 that you wrote just made it so easy to play along, to play the 112 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:41,519 bass. Really, it was effortless, to be honest with you, Jerry, 113 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,919 but I'm glad that I'm glad that you're happy with it. And again, 114 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,799 just an amazing response and reception to the album. Yes, it has 115 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,639 been good. In fact, it's not the great news. And I know 116 00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:54,919 that you and all the other guys know about this, but that can really 117 00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:01,240 actually finally fade. Yes, we have a live show that it's coming up 118 00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:05,120 in two weeks. As you know, it is a private event. Sorry 119 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:09,279 for everybody who wants to be there, but it is private. Unfortunately, 120 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,320 maybe one day in the future we can do a public show. But I 121 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,840 believe it. Quote me if I'm wrong, but I believe there is two 122 00:13:16,919 --> 00:13:22,360 thousand, twenty five hundred people who are who are going to be there. 123 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,399 I believe, So I believe that's correct. Okay, yeah, it's in 124 00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:30,600 that ballpark, of course. But yes, you know it's gonna be great 125 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:37,279 and even better, we're gonna record the entire show live. I can't remember 126 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,279 who's going to be opening the show. I think it's one of the acts 127 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:43,720 that's been on one of your programs before. And I just I can't remember 128 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,000 the name of the time. It'll it'll come back to me in the future. 129 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,960 Yes, but it's gonna be a great night. I'm really excited to 130 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,799 be with all the people, hang out with all the fans, and get 131 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,960 to finally show that when when you actually put your mind to it, you 132 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,639 can do it. Instead of you know, sitting around videos and and and 133 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,600 all that sorts of stuff saying that you're going to do it, we're actually 134 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,320 out there, you know, putting mind to metal and making it work. 135 00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:13,080 Oh, mind to Metal. I like that. Oh I think I dare 136 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,720 say there might be a song in there. Oh dah man. We just 137 00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:20,399 finished an album. Now I have to write another one. We'll talk about 138 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:28,879 that later. Also, my studio producer missed a b very very kindly offered 139 00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:33,799 for free course. Who I know that the Commander to the Supreme Leader's theme 140 00:14:33,919 --> 00:14:39,440 is quite long. The offered to do a mix, like a shorter version 141 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,120 that would be perfect for your radio show. So if that is something that 142 00:14:43,159 --> 00:14:45,960 you would like in the future, of course I can organize that. If 143 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,759 mister B would like to do that, that would be fantastic. I mean, 144 00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:54,080 you know, Jerry, I'm a little bit wary of him only because 145 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,799 the name mister B. Sometimes I wonder if he might be involved in organized 146 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,519 crime or something. But having said that, yes, if you'd like to 147 00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:05,120 produce a shorter version of that that I can use for the intro on a 148 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,799 daily basis, that would be fantastic because I do love it, so you 149 00:15:09,919 --> 00:15:11,720 know, I can absolutely and don't worry about mister B. Of course, 150 00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:16,080 he's not liking it. He's not like an Italian mobster or anything. He's 151 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,600 actually a short white kid who is from Ireland. Oh right, oh and 152 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,679 Irish, an Irish lad. All right, very good. Then, well, 153 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:28,080 I in that part the terms of our contract, I'm not allowed to 154 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,120 say his entire and name. Plus I don't want some unnamed loser from New 155 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:35,159 York accidentally, you know, coming across him and trying to use the services. 156 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,679 Well, I think mister B would would know better than to get involved 157 00:15:39,759 --> 00:15:46,679 with anybody like that. I'll just I'll just put it that way. Yeah, 158 00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:50,759 absolutely, you know. It's it's great hearing from you again. Thank 159 00:15:50,759 --> 00:15:54,720 you so much for playing out Music again yesterday. That was an excellent show. 160 00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:58,120 I watched the whole thing. It was fantastic. I'm and really, 161 00:15:58,159 --> 00:16:03,759 I'm very excited to hear Eric Alan Pancher. I'm really excited to hear his 162 00:16:03,879 --> 00:16:07,480 review of A creep show. That's a that's a great movie. And I 163 00:16:07,559 --> 00:16:11,399 said it in a previous video. Maybe you can pass it along to Eric 164 00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:17,120 that maybe he can do a review. It's a it's an awful, awful 165 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,200 B movie called Lama Geddon, like the animal Lama and AMAgeddon put together called 166 00:16:22,279 --> 00:16:26,559 Lamageddon, and it's I mean, it's terrible, but it I just I 167 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,600 couldn't help but watch it. It was horrible. Now when did that come 168 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,879 out though, Because if it's if it's too recent, it wouldn't qualify as 169 00:16:33,919 --> 00:16:37,559 a classic film. Oh that's a good point. Yeah, okay, Well, 170 00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:44,639 maybe maybe he can do like a like a schwarzenegga movie like like uh 171 00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:48,720 uh. He could do like Predator or a Racer that's a great movie, 172 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,639 or even total recall, or what about Twins. I know a guy from 173 00:16:53,679 --> 00:16:57,000 New York who's about the same height as Danny DeVito who would probably enjoy a 174 00:16:57,039 --> 00:17:02,360 review of Twins. Oh that would be great, or a jingle all the 175 00:17:02,399 --> 00:17:06,079 way, probably the best Christmas movie you ever made, next to a Christmas 176 00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:11,440 story. Ah, of course, absolutely. Well, you know the holidays 177 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,960 are I mean it is September, so the holidays aren't too far away. 178 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,599 That's right, that's right around the corner. We can make it work, 179 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,440 yes, but listen, I know you have a very big show. Uh. 180 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:26,359 Best of luck to your awesome musical guest today. I will call you 181 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,359 in the future and maybe we can get something else walked out. Also, 182 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,839 see you in two weeks when I fly up for that private show. All 183 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,799 the best, Jerry, all right, thanks, Jerry, all right, 184 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,680 very nice, very nice, the great Jerry Robinson of Jerry and the Scumbags. 185 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,279 And uh, we did feature some of that that music yesterday. Well 186 00:17:45,319 --> 00:17:48,680 actually we featured all of it yesterday and that was a lot of fun. 187 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,119 And uh, what a what a great guy. And and by the way, 188 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:57,759 can I just say I think he's also inspirational and motivational because you know, 189 00:17:57,839 --> 00:18:02,759 he talked about not just the music, but he also talked about the 190 00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:07,599 importance of actually doing something that you say you're going to do, not just 191 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,480 you know, you keep saying it and keep saying it in a year after 192 00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:14,279 year after year. I mean, I know people, you know, you 193 00:18:14,599 --> 00:18:18,920 go back on YouTube or Facebook and you find videos from like ten, twelve, 194 00:18:19,559 --> 00:18:22,599 fifteen years ago talking about how they're gonna do this, they're gonna do 195 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,200 that, and then they just never get to it. But Jerry Robinson is 196 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:32,559 a man of action, and I like that. Putting mind to metal, 197 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,799 I like that a lot. I like that a lot, very very good. 198 00:18:34,839 --> 00:18:37,720 Well, thank you so much, Jerry Robinson for calling it. That 199 00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:41,160 does open up the studio line for you. Six o three two five zero 200 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,799 six zero seven six zero three two five zero six zero seven.

She said, I love this, commenting on how much she 208 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:18,160 likes that song Shadow from the band Soda, who is our musical guest today 209 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,319 coming up in the second hour. Oh, Dylan really likes that that intro 210 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,480 that Jerry Robinson, Well, mister b actually produced it. He said, 211 00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:30,319 what a legendary intro. I agree, I agree, absolutely really cool. 212 00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:37,480 Miriam Bannish joins us in the Facebook live chat and and says, good afternoon. 213 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,640 Dylan said, I've heard it has dozens and dozens of streams so far. 214 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,640 Yes, multiple dozens, I believe.

And like I said, 221 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,319 I heard it today, it's really really good. Eric Pilcher, Oh, 222 00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:18,599 we were just talking about you, He joins us in the Facebook laugh 223 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,759 chat and says, hello peeps. Oh are you are you saying peeps? 224 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,359 Because oh, never mind, I was about to make a really dumb joke 225 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:32,720 that before the joke fell out of my mouth, I realized it doesn't work 226 00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:34,599 and doesn't make sense. So now you'll never know what the joke was, 227 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,920 because it would have been really stupid. And I'm so glad I caught it 228 00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:41,640 before. I said. You ever do that where you make a joke and 229 00:20:41,759 --> 00:20:45,599 you realize right after you say it that the joke doesn't make any sense, 230 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,960 and then you kind of feel self conscious because you were trying to be funny 231 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,319 and everyone knows you were trying to be funny, but what you said wasn't 232 00:20:52,319 --> 00:20:57,240 even remotely funny, and it didn't even logically make sense, so it can't 233 00:20:57,279 --> 00:21:00,759 even Not only is it not a funny joke, Okay, it doesn't even 234 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:07,960 qualify as a mildly witty quip or anything. It's just a thing you said 235 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,839 that immediately you're embarrassed by. That almost happened to me just now. I'll 236 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:18,079 tell you that's a that's that's terrible when that happens. Eric Eric says, 237 00:21:18,279 --> 00:21:22,799 someone says today's review is my best work yet. Yes, someone did say 238 00:21:22,839 --> 00:21:26,559 that. Someone did say that, Yes, Eric's film review. Obviously I 239 00:21:26,799 --> 00:21:30,920 listened to them ahead of time, and uh it is I and I did 240 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:36,680 tell I don't think he'll mind ever reveal this. This was a uh conversation 241 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,039 we had online, but I did tell Eric, I said, Uh, 242 00:21:38,319 --> 00:21:42,440 it's been one of the nice things about working with him and him being a 243 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,759 part of the show with these film reviews, and of course we do our 244 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:51,319 weekly segment on Wednesdays too, But it's it's been nice, uh, watching 245 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:56,240 the way the reviews have evolved over the last I think it's been a couple 246 00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:59,920 of years now, the way the reviews have evolved, the way Eric's approached 247 00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:02,480 it has changed, and uh, it's it's just been really cool. I 248 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,839 mean I thought they were good right from the beginning. But but but he 249 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,839 continues to evolve and grow and how he how he does it, and I 250 00:22:08,839 --> 00:22:15,200 think that's really cool. Dylan Reynolds says, your guitar skills on the album 251 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:21,599 were absolutely stellar. Do you teach lessons? Yeah, yeah, Eric Pilcher, 252 00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:25,640 like I said to Jerry, I mean, he just I will say 253 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,519 this, the guitar tone you could cut glass with it, You really could. 254 00:22:29,759 --> 00:22:38,000 Those riffs, I mean just incredible. He's like he's like trying to 255 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,319 think of it. Yeah, there really is no one to compare him to. 256 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:48,920 He's just that good. He's just that good. Carol's Warwitz joins us 257 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,039 in the Facebook live chat. Dylan says, like, when you make a 258 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,160 joke but it bombs so bad that it sounds like a statement, that happens 259 00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,920 to me a lot. I'll tell you what. Yes, And a couple 260 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,799 of years ago on the show, this was a few years ago. Jeez, 261 00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:07,640 I've been here six and a half years now. I think hard to 262 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:14,799 believe it goes so fast. I paid, I made a joke. I 263 00:23:14,839 --> 00:23:18,440 don't even remember who was in the room with me, but there was a 264 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,599 reference. It was a political reference, but I guess it was just too 265 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:27,359 much of a deep cut. I made a reference to a moment in a 266 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:33,400 two thy twelve presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, or a Mittens 267 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:41,119 of Utah as I like to call him. And the joke was a reference 268 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:48,079 to the phrase binders full of women, because that phrase was used by Mitt 269 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:53,839 Romney during that debate, And I thought, I don't remember exactly what the 270 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,640 context was, what the discussion was, I don't remember who was in the 271 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,640 room, who was on the show with me that day, but I remember 272 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,279 making reference to Mitt Romney's Binders Full of Women, and I swear to god, 273 00:24:06,279 --> 00:24:10,119 no one believes me because it sounds like this isn't even possible, but 274 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:15,440 I swear to you it happened. I delivered the line and I actually heard 275 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:21,400 in my headphones. I could hear it an audible thud in the room of 276 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,920 the joke hitting the floor. It was, And the people on the show 277 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,200 with me, they're just staring at me, like what, And I'm like, 278 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:33,720 oh my god, I just really bombed with that. But it wasn't 279 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,359 even like it wasn't something where it was like the joke didn't make sense. 280 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,279 The joke did make sense, and I thought it was really clever. And 281 00:24:41,319 --> 00:24:42,920 I heard a thud and I said, did you guys hear that? And 282 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,759 nobody else heard it, but I swear that joke made a thud when it 283 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,279 hit because it didn't hit. I mean, it hit the floor, but 284 00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:56,200 it didn't hit the way I wanted it too. Very frustrating, But google 285 00:24:56,519 --> 00:24:59,640 Mitt Romney Binders Full of Women. You'll you'll get the reference if you don't 286 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,079 know it. But apparently the people I had on the show that day, 287 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,680 they just weren't having it. They did not see the humor and Mitt Romney's 288 00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:12,279 binders full of women. Uh, let's see. Bella Smith joins us in 289 00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:22,720 the Facebook live chat. Bella Smith is posting spam. All right, Oh, 290 00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:26,400 Dylan Reynolds, says George Lynch from doc and would be my guest, 291 00:25:26,519 --> 00:25:30,359 oh at regarding Eric Pilcher's guitar skills. George Lynch, Yes, yes, 292 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:37,000 yes, yes, m I was never that in a although, honest, 293 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,559 Sleepless Night's a great song. That wasn't one of their singles, but Dream 294 00:25:40,559 --> 00:25:44,720 Warriors, I think it is the one everyone remembers the most right they had. 295 00:25:44,799 --> 00:25:48,160 They had a bunch of hits. I never got that much into dock 296 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,720 and as much as I you would think that I, although I've seen them 297 00:25:49,759 --> 00:25:52,799 live, you would think that I'd be really into them, because I do 298 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,599 love that music and I'm an eighties kid. But let's see, are we 299 00:25:56,599 --> 00:26:00,160 missing anybody in here? Roniefervero from all the way from California, says, 300 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,759 Hi, guys, hello Ronda. Uh, let's see, I think we 301 00:26:04,839 --> 00:26:07,880 got I think I mentioned Miriam's in there. Very good, very good. 302 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,160 Let me give the studio line again and then we'll get into Uh, well, 303 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,920 we'll see what we have time for. We are going to get to 304 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:19,400 Eric Pilcher's classic film review very shortly.

Before we go any further, two, I wanted to 307 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,319 mention remind you, of course, our great sponsor, the hopnot right across 308 00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:32,440 the street at one thousand Elm Street. Of course, if you're just listening 309 00:26:32,599 --> 00:26:34,240 on the radio from somewhere right across the street doesn't mean anything to you, 310 00:26:36,759 --> 00:26:41,000 but we happen to be right across the street from the Hopcot. So anyway, 311 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,519 they're at one thousand Elm Street. They've got those delicious gourmet Pratzels, 312 00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:48,079 they have an assortment of craft beer, and they have Big Gay Bingo. 313 00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:53,240 That's right, that's right. This is what this is what's on social media. 314 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,920 Big gay Bingo is back this Sunday. What is big gay Bingo. 315 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,640 It's like bingo, by the way, I do enjoy saying it. If 316 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:04,680 you haven't noticed, it's like bingo but gay, but for real, it's 317 00:27:04,759 --> 00:27:10,240 regular bingo. But instead of numbers and letters, we use slang and terminology 318 00:27:10,319 --> 00:27:14,839 from LGBTQ plus culture.

This is what 336 00:28:30,279 --> 00:28:36,480 PAULI c posted. Don't miss an all new, very special episode of Retrospectrum 337 00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:40,640 Radio. Oh, by the way, this is I like this. You 338 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,920 know, every week if you've never listened to the show. Every week there's 339 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:48,359 a theme to the playlist that Paul assembles and I really like this one. 340 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:55,279 This kind of stuff I absolutely love. Here's what it is. Okay, 341 00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:59,000 so we have a very special episode of Retrospectrum Radio when we feature all of 342 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:04,079 your favorite classics songs that you never knew were ripped off from other classic songs. 343 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,039 We'll feature songs whose lyrics were ripped off, melodies were ripped off, 344 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,920 and some songs that ripped off everything by sampling the original without permission. We'll 345 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:18,200 feature song plagiarisms that resulted in lawsuits, settling out of court, and even 346 00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:22,400 bankruptcy, many of which were kept under the radar. Do join us, 347 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:27,880 and that is tonight from eight to eleven PM. Eastern Time here from WMH 348 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:33,519 ninety five point three FM. And by the way, Paul does open a 349 00:29:33,599 --> 00:29:36,880 chat room for the show. There's a live stream on Facebook, just like 350 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,000 with this show. However, for Paul's show, he actually mutes the Facebook 351 00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:42,799 audio. So if you do join us tonight, we'd love it if you 352 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,160 chat with us while you listen. Open a second browser tab and go to 353 00:29:48,319 --> 00:29:51,960 WMH radio dot org and click listen live, so you can hear the show 354 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:56,359 uninterrupted while you chat with us in the Facebook. Paul mutes the audio because 355 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,839 obviously there's a lot of copyrighted music on the show, and it gets us 356 00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:03,920 in trouble with Facebook. And you know how that is. Well, some 357 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,720 of you might not some of you might never have been in trouble with Facebook, 358 00:30:07,759 --> 00:30:11,200 but that show gets us in trouble with Facebook if Paul doesn't mute the 359 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,519 show. So that will be a lot of fun. Really looking forward to 360 00:30:14,519 --> 00:30:18,359 that this evening on retro Spectrum Radio, Jay fed in the chatroom says, 361 00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:23,039 I look forward to tonight with retro Spectrum Radio with Paul ec Yes, indeed, 362 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:30,160 yes, indeed, I might get into just one quick thing here but 363 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,359 before the film review, but I happen to see this. So I've been 364 00:30:33,359 --> 00:30:37,920 talking this week. The days kind of run together. You know what it 365 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:42,240 is is so much not only is there always so much news, so much 366 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,319 political news going on, which, don't get me wrong, it's a good 367 00:30:45,359 --> 00:30:51,000 problem to have when you're doing a show like this, but there's so much 368 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,559 of it that the day's just run together. But I have something kind of 369 00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:56,519 weird to share. But Shannon's on the line, so we'll grab this call 370 00:30:56,599 --> 00:31:02,039 first. Hi, Shannon, have no hello. I love listening to on 371 00:31:02,119 --> 00:31:06,160 Fridays because you were in prayer form, because it's your favorite day, it 372 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,440 is, it's my favorite day of the week here at WMNH. Yes, 373 00:31:08,599 --> 00:31:12,720 and I was just going to request that you pretend I'm in the Facebook page 374 00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:18,519 tonight and say hi Shannon in the Facebook page, okay, or make something 375 00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:26,200 up? Okay, listening to an actual radio yes, sound something good? 376 00:31:26,279 --> 00:31:29,920 Yeah, yeah, I'll be listening. Excellent. Well, we appreciate it. 377 00:31:30,039 --> 00:31:32,160 All right, you have fun tonight, all right, thank you, 378 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,920 Shannon? Okay, all right, bye bye, all right, very good. 379 00:31:36,559 --> 00:31:40,640 That was our friend Shannon. Just quickly, I was talking earlier in 380 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,920 the week about CNN. Well, let me back up a little bit. 381 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:51,119 So yeah, I think it was yesterday because Billy Painter had called into and 382 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:56,559 we talked about this a little bit. We're talking about bias and media and 383 00:31:56,559 --> 00:32:00,519 so forth. And you know, when you talk at cable news, obviously 384 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,279 you know some easy examples. You know, on the left you've got MSNBC 385 00:32:05,559 --> 00:32:12,480 and CNN, on the right you've got CNN and Newsmax. But I've noticed 386 00:32:12,519 --> 00:32:16,960 that CNN seems to really be turning on Biden. And it's not been subtle, 387 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,680 and I wouldn't even say it's necessarily been incremental. It seems to be 388 00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:27,920 fairly abrupt. But they're really dogging him on his poll numbers. And because 389 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,559 it's not just a matter of an approval rating at this point, it's a 390 00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:35,480 matter of you know, something like almost seventy percent of Democrats, registered Democrats, 391 00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:38,000 not just voters across the board, registered Democrats don't want him to run 392 00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:40,880 for a second term. They want a different nominee. And I've noticed a 393 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,279 split, by the way, So CNN seems to have really turned on Biden 394 00:32:45,319 --> 00:32:50,720 in a big way, while some of the personalities on MSNBC seem to be 395 00:32:50,799 --> 00:32:55,200 kind of sticking with Biden. For example, I heard Joy Read talking about, 396 00:32:55,640 --> 00:33:00,599 you know, all these these polls, well, whodo Democrats want if 397 00:33:00,599 --> 00:33:02,640 they don't want Biden? Nobody can answer that, But she talks about it 398 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:07,960 in a way that's very dismissive and a little condescending, to be honest with 399 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,519 you. You know, she was saying today. I heard her today saying, 400 00:33:12,599 --> 00:33:15,359 well, you know, something like eighty percent of Democrats don't want Biden, 401 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,680 But when you ask them who they do want, they can't tell you. 402 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,079 Well, yeah, because they don't know who else is willing to run, 403 00:33:21,759 --> 00:33:24,359 you know, other than the obvious Kamala Harris. But and there's all 404 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,240 this buzz around Gavin Newsom, but I'm pretty sure he's gonna run in twenty 405 00:33:28,279 --> 00:33:35,759 eight or thirty two even But but but the but the the change on on 406 00:33:36,119 --> 00:33:44,519 CNN has been so abrupt and obvious that Fox News actually was talking about CNN's 407 00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:50,799 coverage. So you have and by the way, these cable news networks talking 408 00:33:50,839 --> 00:34:02,119 about each other isn't isn't necessarily new and not that unusual either, But actually 409 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:09,760 have the audio of it here. They actually ran a montage of of CNN 410 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:15,440 dogging Biden's poll numbers. They actually ran this on Fox News to show to 411 00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:21,920 demonstrate how CNN has turned on Biden. Here it is, it's only about 412 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,559 a minute. Within his own party, You've got two thirds of Democrats saying 413 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:29,880 they wish they had another Democrat to choose from. I'm sorry, this isn't 414 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,280 the montage itself. This is the segment, but the montage is within the 415 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:37,400 segment from just a third of people in his own party say they are happy. 416 00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:40,639 That's Peter Doocey from Fox News talking with President Biden as the top of 417 00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:45,320 the ticket. Let's just stand. We have brand new CNN polling this morning, 418 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:50,400 and the numbers are rough for President Biden. They could spell Trump for 419 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,639 Democrats and the president's hopes for re election in twenty twenty four. Still early, 420 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:59,280 but Biden's approval rating has shunk to thirty nine percent. Nearly sixty percent 421 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:04,119 of voters think policies are making the economy worse. Close to seventy percent of 422 00:35:04,199 --> 00:35:08,320 Democrats want somebody else to run for president, and the president's approval among Democratic 423 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:13,760 voters that's slipping. There is no way to spend this. CNN reads the 424 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:20,039 country's mood right now and finds that America is deeply unhappy with Joe Biden. 425 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:28,119 Oh that well, that was not much of a montage. They showed literally 426 00:35:28,159 --> 00:35:31,400 two clips. Two clips is not a montage. I wish I had played 427 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:35,239 that before I shared it with you, because it really wasn't even worth it. 428 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,159 But sometimes I forget so media. I like the site, and I 429 00:35:38,199 --> 00:35:40,400 get a lot of interesting, you know, because part of what I love 430 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:44,719 to do is not you know, I enjoy discussing and analyzing politics, but 431 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:51,719 I also enjoy discussing and analyzing the media apparatus that covers politics. But so 432 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,960 I like media. It's useful for that. But I forget sometimes that some 433 00:35:54,039 --> 00:36:00,760 of their titles on their articles are clickbait because the title of the article is 434 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:06,880 Fox and Friends runs montage of CNN's relentless dumping on Biden's bad poll numbers. 435 00:36:07,079 --> 00:36:08,760 So from that title, you would think, okay, so they ran a 436 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:13,159 montage of full, you know, all these different clips, which they could 437 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,239 put together because there's a lot of it going on right now on CNN. 438 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,280 It wouldn't be that hard to put together an actual montage. But it turns 439 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,840 out that's not what they did. They just showed a couple of just quick 440 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,880 clips from CNN and that was it. But then you get this title that 441 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:30,360 they ran a montage of CNN's relentless dumping on Biden. But there is relentless 442 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,360 dumping on Biden going on, it says here. On Friday's edition of Fox 443 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:37,840 and Friends, White House correspondent Peter Doocy reported on a brutal CNN poll out 444 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,800 this week that showed, in the words of CNN's Dana Bash quote, Americans 445 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,760 are deeply unhappy unquote with President Joe Biden, and Doocy included some clips two 446 00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:54,280 two, I guess two is some right, it's plural from CNN saying just 447 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,639 that maybe, by the way, maybe these titles are AI generated. I 448 00:36:58,639 --> 00:37:02,880 don't know media. I also found a few CNN clips that Doucy did not 449 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:07,679 include. You can watch both montages below. Oh will this be like an 450 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:13,480 actual for real montage if I play this, Let's see, let's see what 451 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,360 this says? Oh, the rage and cage and James Carville he's in the 452 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:20,519 clip. Well, that'll be exciting. Look, these polls seem to get 453 00:37:20,599 --> 00:37:23,719 at the elephant in the room when it comes to President Biden. For voters, 454 00:37:24,199 --> 00:37:28,719 it's his age that they're concerned about his mental acuity, his health. 455 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,719 What does that tell us, Well, I guess to say the least that 456 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,119 the polls are not We're not great, and it tells us that, you 457 00:37:38,159 --> 00:37:44,760 know, voters expression some apprehension here. If it's it's pretty clear, I 458 00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,400 mean, it's not ourselsa you can say when you look at him. I 459 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:52,800 mean, I guess the best thing you could say is not, if anything, 460 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:59,079 they're worse for Trump. But there there is apprehension out there that's undeniable. 461 00:37:59,199 --> 00:38:04,199 But don't I point out, women lost an election since the Dabbs decisions, 462 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,400 so you know we're supposed to lose in novemb and off it year, 463 00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:14,199 we didn't really look kind of tied. So I don't know, but there 464 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,480 is an attitude, by the way to just a comment on what Carville is 465 00:38:16,519 --> 00:38:22,639 saying there, there is an attitude among Democrats that because of abortion, because 466 00:38:22,679 --> 00:38:28,440 that issue in theory hurts Republicans, and I think, you know, in 467 00:38:29,159 --> 00:38:31,440 the example that he gives the recent elections, I think that that's probably there's 468 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:38,719 some truth to that in general elections. But the thing is, if establishment 469 00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:43,000 Democrats like James Carville are going to hang their hats on that, they're going 470 00:38:43,079 --> 00:38:45,440 to be in for a pretty route awakening, I think, because you can't 471 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:50,679 take that and say, okay, because of the Dabbs decision, there's no 472 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:54,559 way Trump can be Biden because if you're looking at these polls and taking anything 473 00:38:54,599 --> 00:38:58,400 from them, look at the I mean, I saw a general election poll 474 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,800 just the other day. It showed them locked in a you know, within 475 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:06,800 the margin of error, in a statistical tie right now. So you take 476 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,800 nothing for granted, and that will be the undoing if Biden stays in again. 477 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:15,920 I Mark Halperin said, Biden's definitely getting out. The decision has been 478 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,880 made. But that is not filtering through the rest of mainstream media, which 479 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,079 is very strange to me. We'll listen to the rest of this and then 480 00:39:23,199 --> 00:39:28,960 and then we're gonna get to Eric's review. But pulling adopt Scene or anybody 481 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,039 else I've seen is not very good. There was a memo my friend Jim 482 00:39:32,039 --> 00:39:36,320 a Scene said out and said Democrats need to quit bedwedding. My wife's already 483 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:42,800 changed me to rub a sheets. I mean, but do you are you 484 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,119 saying then that you're worried that you think the Democrats should be taking this Hope 485 00:39:46,119 --> 00:39:52,639 seat more seriously, well, I mean you know, it's typically in the 486 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:57,079 August or September before the election. You know, I think predent Reagan's numbers 487 00:39:57,079 --> 00:40:00,800 were not Greatred and Clinton don't know. We're you know, starting to move 488 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:05,679 up a little bit, the same thing at preason Obama. But you can't 489 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,199 look at this and I say that you can chart. It's just for me 490 00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:12,559 to come on television and say I don't find this along meing of troubling at 491 00:40:12,599 --> 00:40:15,800 all would be it would be stupid of me. I wouldn't do that. 492 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:22,800 But there are there are people in your party, James who mister Carville the 493 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,599 Rage in Cajun, which would be a great name for a wrestler. There 494 00:40:25,599 --> 00:40:30,000 probably has been a wrestler named the Rage in Cajun at some point. But 495 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:34,039 there are people in your party who are complacent. Over on MSNBC, they're 496 00:40:34,119 --> 00:40:37,360 very complacent. It's only on CNN where they're saying, oh, this is 497 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:44,360 really bad. So the dynamics of it are interesting in terms of how media 498 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,840 is reacting to it or in some ways not reacting. All right, let's 499 00:40:49,039 --> 00:40:52,679 do this, my friends. I want to get to this film review this 500 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:58,440 week. Eric Pilchers. He's done a review of Creep Show the nineteen eighty 501 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,920 two classic, written by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero, 502 00:41:04,159 --> 00:41:07,760 a collab, as I believe the young people say, Well, I guess 503 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:12,079 all films are collaborations of some sort, right, But this is really good. 504 00:41:12,079 --> 00:41:14,280 Like I said, I think this is Eric's best work to date. 505 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:16,800 So I really enjoyed listening to this and I'm looking forward to sharing it with 506 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,960 you all.

So lots coming up. So 512 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:44,559 I think I already see musicians in the hallway in fact, so that's good. 513 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,880 But yeah, here we go. This is Eric Pilcher's classic film review 514 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:54,400 and the subject is nineteen eighty two's Creep Show. Check this out. I 515 00:41:54,559 --> 00:41:59,480 told you before, I didn't want you to read this crep I never saw 516 00:41:59,519 --> 00:42:02,079 us. It's crap in my life?

The next time, young man, I find 530 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,239 you with a worthless piece of sh like this again, you want sit down 531 00:42:52,280 --> 00:43:14,599 for a week, buddy boy, Remember that tuck In anthologies have long been 532 00:43:14,639 --> 00:43:21,639 synonymous when not just horror films, but horror in television books, and even 533 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:27,679 comics. This week's film is a homage to all of those means of media, 534 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:31,599 but yet it found a way to stand all on its own as one 535 00:43:31,639 --> 00:43:37,719 of the greatest anthology films made. Our next film honoring director George A. 536 00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:45,119 Romero this month is nineteen eighty two's Creep Show. This film teams up two 537 00:43:45,199 --> 00:43:52,199 masters of horror, with Ramero directing and the script being written by horror king 538 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:59,639 Stephen King. The film features five tales of horror and has a star studded 539 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:07,119 gas featuring Ted Danson, Ed Harris, hal Holbrook, Leslie Nielsen, Adrian 540 00:44:07,159 --> 00:44:14,119 Barbou and even Stephen King's stars in one of the tales. To tell the 541 00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:20,559 story of creep Show, we must first delve into some history. Creep Show 542 00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:25,920 was a homage to the ec comics of the fifties and sixties, the comics 543 00:44:27,079 --> 00:44:32,400 Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, and Tales from the Crypt. If 544 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:38,119 that sounds familiar, it was because it was made into a very successful HBO 545 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:45,840 series in its own right. These comics became insanely popular due to the stories 546 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:53,239 in graphic artwork they depicted. Eventually, they became the target of politicians and 547 00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:59,599 parents alike. Such is the parent in the opening clip of this film. 548 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:06,159 W was the opening clip of our review. Our next clips explain a brief 549 00:45:06,199 --> 00:45:12,679 history of EC comics. First, the late publisher William Gaines explains how the 550 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:20,239 artwork drove the popularity of the comics, in what each prime artist brought to 551 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:27,519 the table. And then we will hear how the comics became targeted by politicians 552 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:34,199 and parents and eventually led to not just their downfall, but the downfall of 553 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:39,119 EC comics itself. In the nineteen fifties, if comics were killers and my 554 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:45,559 o manner, publisher William M. Gaines was public enemy number one. My 555 00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:50,840 father had been instrumental in staught in comic books back in the thirties, and 556 00:45:51,079 --> 00:45:55,320 he had a whole stable of comics which included The Flash and Wonder Woman number 557 00:45:55,360 --> 00:46:00,519 of others, and he sold out his entire business to see He then went 558 00:46:00,559 --> 00:46:06,840 back on business and started little comic books for children he called the Outfit Educational 559 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,760 Comics. When Max Gaines was killed in an accident, Bill, who was 560 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:14,679 planning to be a chemistry teacher, decided to concoct his own comic book formula. 561 00:46:15,159 --> 00:46:20,199 He changed the name to entertaining comics and started publishing Western war and crime 562 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:25,039 comics. Eighteen fifty, editor Al Feldstein conducted a creepy experiment in an issue 563 00:46:25,079 --> 00:46:32,280 of Crime Patrol. We introduced the Crypt of Terror, and I kind of 564 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:37,440 based it on what I've envisioned when I used to listen to Archoba's Lights Out 565 00:46:37,559 --> 00:46:43,840 or the Witch's Tale on radio. Gaines and Feldstein quickly realized that horror could 566 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,159 be a hit. We were so excited that we went ahead and changed the 567 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:52,199 titles to Tales from the Crypt and the Vault of Horror. The Haunt of 568 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:57,039 Fear soon followed, and by early nineteen fifty the first Horror comic books were 569 00:46:57,039 --> 00:47:01,400 selling half a million copies per issue. Russ Cochrane, who's been reprinting the 570 00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:06,960 original EC series, was typical of the kids that got hooked on EC Horror. 571 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:12,119 I had about stopped reading comic books when I was fourteen fifteen years old. 572 00:47:12,159 --> 00:47:15,880 I'd sort of outgrown the superhero comics, and all of a sudden I 573 00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:20,039 picked up an EC comic. Can hear were comics that were written better and 574 00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,239 drawn better than anything I'd ever seen before, and they hooked me right back 575 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:28,639 in. Feldstein continued to create cover art and write stories based on Gaines's ideas, 576 00:47:29,159 --> 00:47:31,639 but they soon began to draw on a gruesome group of artists to bring 577 00:47:31,679 --> 00:47:37,599 EC's tales of terror to life. Every story was written for the artist who 578 00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:44,559 drew it. Graham always got the dripping, rotting corpses, slimy cookie stuff 579 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:49,639 oozing out of the solid kind of things, and Johnny Craig, who wrote 580 00:47:49,679 --> 00:47:52,400 his own stuff. Everything was nice, clean looking, except terrible things were 581 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:59,960 going on in this beautiful, clean situation. Joe Orlando could go either way. 582 00:48:00,119 --> 00:48:01,480 He could have a clean job, or he could have an who's job, 583 00:48:01,519 --> 00:48:07,280 and he did a lot of either. Orlando himself remembers the awe inspired 584 00:48:07,599 --> 00:48:12,239 by another EC alumnus, Zack Davis in the Sweat, and we all envied 585 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,960 him that he just toissed it off and he's just pure genius, you know. 586 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,880 It was room and that he could do four complete pages a day if 587 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:23,639 he wanted to, and we'd counted up. Oh my god, he can 588 00:48:23,679 --> 00:48:28,760 make that much money. EC artists were among the most talented in the history 589 00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:35,360 of comic art. I and now Outcry leads to the end of EC comics, 590 00:48:37,079 --> 00:48:40,760 but not everyone appreciated the joke, and in nineteen fifty three a Senate 591 00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:46,079 subcommittee convene to find out if comics created juvenile delinquents. My name is William 592 00:48:46,159 --> 00:48:51,199 Dayes. I was the first publisherman these United States, the publisherror comics. 593 00:48:51,679 --> 00:48:57,000 I'm responsible. I start of him. If you remember Mayor Walker who once 594 00:48:57,039 --> 00:49:01,599 said, I never knew a woman to be ruined by a book, and 595 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:06,079 I never knew what child would be ruined by a comic book. There's just 596 00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,159 under nonsense. We were really the much shocked people in the world, and 597 00:49:08,199 --> 00:49:13,639 we discovered that we were these terrible people who were causing juvenile delinquency in America, 598 00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:19,400 which is what happened and would put us out of business. The controversy 599 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:23,039 helped kill the horror comics, but he sees gore stories wouldn't stay buried. 600 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:30,400 Since this film is a homage to the aforementioned ec comics, it couldn't just 601 00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:37,960 be a simple horror anthology on film. It had to have the look in 602 00:49:37,039 --> 00:49:43,760 the field of a comic book that had come to live. Romero did this 603 00:49:44,119 --> 00:49:52,119 by using many tricks, such as bright vibrant lighting to indicate horror instead of 604 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:58,719 implementing traditional cuts in the film, Romero and his crew used comic book blocks 605 00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:06,000 to indicate past sage is a time in text blocks to establish areas and if 606 00:50:06,119 --> 00:50:10,320 more time had passed or an exact amount of time. In our next clip, 607 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:17,519 lead animator Rick Catizone speaks on how this comic look was achieved for the 608 00:50:17,519 --> 00:50:23,000 film by using animation and why it is so key to the film success. 609 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:28,480 Right, a few reels and it's almost something that would be impossible to capture, 610 00:50:29,119 --> 00:50:34,760 and so they suggested that probably sell animation would be the better way to 611 00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:42,000 go with that, and so we created animation segments of the actual comic book 612 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,079 that would cause it to blow down the street and land in the garbage can, 613 00:50:46,199 --> 00:50:50,320 soon still be able to open to the page that they needed it to, 614 00:50:51,079 --> 00:50:54,440 and then we would zoom in and do match dissolves. The other part 615 00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:59,679 of the problem that they were dealing with was that Tom's creep at the window. 616 00:51:00,599 --> 00:51:04,800 The reason we're going to have a big crane pulled back over the whole 617 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,760 neighborhood with the creep floating in the air and so on. And I believe 618 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:12,079 that it was a budgetary consideration. I believe the crane was going to cost 619 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:15,480 become a twenty thousand dollars shot probably, and that wasn't in the budget, 620 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,559 and they thought, well, you know, it is an ec comic takeoff, 621 00:51:19,079 --> 00:51:24,000 and it seemed natural to have the creep through a flash of lightning and 622 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:30,119 a dissolved change into an animated creep because the EC comic book characters were always 623 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:34,480 hand drawn, so it seemed natural to go to a hand drawn creep as 624 00:51:34,519 --> 00:51:38,159 well. The animation process was pretty involved, particularly with the creep, because 625 00:51:38,159 --> 00:51:45,000 you're trying to achieve a character, and of course you're trying to achieve motion 626 00:51:45,079 --> 00:51:51,960 that's interesting and believable, and so the process of course is doing drawings by 627 00:51:52,039 --> 00:51:58,440 hand, frame after frame. Actually we do key drawings first and then these 628 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,800 are some of the drawings. You can see detail in the drawings. The 629 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:07,440 key drawings are done first, and then I decide how many drawings should go 630 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:12,440 in between, and then those are filled in afterwards. Try and get the 631 00:52:12,519 --> 00:52:16,800 key poses first, to get the dynamic action for the main elements of the 632 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:22,079 motion, and then we fill it in afterwards. And then he flies back 633 00:52:22,079 --> 00:52:25,000 over the neighborhood here of course, and then he points down towards the garbage 634 00:52:25,039 --> 00:52:34,559 can here near the end, and zooms in. It was really difficult in 635 00:52:34,679 --> 00:52:39,159 terms of drawing the hands. The hands on some of the parts of this 636 00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:44,360 are acting on a different level, but it was actually pretty difficult to draw 637 00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:49,440 because there's no flesh, and so when you have bony segments that are basically 638 00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:54,000 cylindrical, it became some very demanding drawing and it was one of the better 639 00:52:54,079 --> 00:53:00,719 challenges that I've had in my career. As I stated early this week, 640 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:07,199 I chose to do this review in this specific way because I felt that to 641 00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:12,880 choose just a handful of scenes from this great film would be way too difficult. 642 00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:17,519 That is, because all five stories shown in this film are truly great. 643 00:53:19,159 --> 00:53:22,800 There is no way or no fair way to choose which wants to include. 644 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:28,320 To be honest, that could be a whole month of reviews all in 645 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:34,880 itself. That's how great this film really is. Our final clip is our 646 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:39,800 man of honor himself, George A. Romero discussing this film on a Pittsburgh 647 00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:47,639 talk show shortly before its release. Of Note here how Romero separates this film 648 00:53:47,679 --> 00:53:52,719 from the horror films that were popular during the eighties, and he has a 649 00:53:52,800 --> 00:54:00,000 very special and hilarious story regarding the villains of the final story of this film 650 00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:07,400 different stories based on a young child's it's a comic book. It's I guess 651 00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:08,639 the real story of the movie is about a comic book. And we go 652 00:54:08,679 --> 00:54:13,000 into the comic book and there are five stories in the pages turn and the 653 00:54:13,079 --> 00:54:16,199 drawings turn into to live action and we see five stories. Yeah, well, 654 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:21,079 thank you. It's it's a lot of fun. Steve Wright's traditional Gothic 655 00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:27,679 horror. This isn't a typical has many of the horror films recently have been 656 00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,280 what they call Dyson slice slasher movies, and this isn't like that at all. 657 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:35,760 It's uh, this is really gothic. Has its root in Gothic traditions, 658 00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,039 and Steve believes it's much more frightening when you know that something's behind the 659 00:54:39,079 --> 00:54:43,480 door. Your imagination makes it a lot more frightening. Once you see the 660 00:54:43,519 --> 00:54:45,639 monster, you start dealing with it. You can so sort of resolved. 661 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:51,000 So much of the time and Creed Show has spent saying don't go in there, 662 00:54:51,079 --> 00:54:52,800 don't put your hand in that box. And it's more anticipatory than it 663 00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:57,719 is shock, and it's it's one of the things about I mean, I 664 00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,360 like all the variety of the shows. As you say, do you know 665 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:02,159 the five different stories? But there are certain parts of it that are really 666 00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:07,239 very very realistic, and those are the things that are most frightening, you 667 00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,199 know, dealing with the situation that could could possibly happen in life here. 668 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,719 Yeah, I think it's hard for I would like to think that I will 669 00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,960 ever have to deal with three million cockroaches coming up up out of drains and 670 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:21,960 things. But that, you know, I understand you had a great search 671 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,719 to find those bugs. Well it wasn't really a search. It's just that 672 00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:28,880 you know, and everyone says, boy, moviemakers really go to some extremes 673 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,639 to pull off the scenes they need. The fact is, cockroaches are very 674 00:55:31,639 --> 00:55:42,719 expensive, plain old American styled cockroach couts at a laboratory bread under laboratory conditions 675 00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,840 fifty cents of teas, and we needed in order to fill that room about 676 00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:52,559 fifty thousand them, and it was actually more economic. We sent entomologists to 677 00:55:52,679 --> 00:55:58,360 Trinidad and they got the real article out of caves down there, and we 678 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:00,079 have to go through government clearances and everything to bring them in and make sure 679 00:56:00,119 --> 00:56:05,119 that they were you know, they weren't infested with any, infected with anything 680 00:56:05,119 --> 00:56:08,559 and all that. So it's all done on supervised program. These guys were 681 00:56:08,599 --> 00:56:12,079 big. They were, they were, But when you bring them, you 682 00:56:12,119 --> 00:56:15,239 bring them into this country. Cockroaches I thought were afraid of light. I 683 00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:19,199 mean, well, that's part of the trick. They don't take direction well, 684 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,159 so you have to sort of trick them into doing things. And the 685 00:56:22,159 --> 00:56:24,679 only way we could get them to move one way or move another way would 686 00:56:24,679 --> 00:56:29,519 be to have they they'll run from light into darkness. So when we needed 687 00:56:29,559 --> 00:56:30,679 them to run that way, we would just make it dark over there and 688 00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:32,960 put a lot of light over here, and they don't go running that way. 689 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,000 You really can't get them to do very much. They don't have a 690 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:42,480 big repertoire of talents, but they they're creepy. Oh yeah, that's true. 691 00:56:42,639 --> 00:56:45,360 Now, the book itself, the script was written by Steven Steve King. 692 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:49,719 Yeah, Steve and I have become really good friends over this project, 693 00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,960 and we're going to do another. We're doing one of Steve's novels called The 694 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:59,320 Stand, which was the novel right after The Shining, and that's hopefully we'll 695 00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:05,559 be one of the next projects that we do. Sadly, Romero's in King's 696 00:57:05,679 --> 00:57:10,360 version of The Stand was never made. However, in good news, Unlike 697 00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:15,719 last week's film, this film found great success at the box office. It 698 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:22,480 was released November tenth of nineteen eighty two and garnered over five million dollars it's 699 00:57:22,519 --> 00:57:27,159 opening weekend, making it the number one film that week. Overall, it 700 00:57:27,239 --> 00:57:31,280 made over twenty one million dollars, making it the highest grossing horror film for 701 00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:38,880 Warner Brothers that year. This film success also led to a revival for orientthologies 702 00:57:39,159 --> 00:57:45,880 both in cinema and TV. Tales from the Dark Side, which was created 703 00:57:45,920 --> 00:57:51,159 by Romero, Tales from the Crypt, and the Twilight Zone revival of the 704 00:57:51,199 --> 00:57:57,639 eighties all oh adeta gratitude to Creep Show for them being brought to the small 705 00:57:57,679 --> 00:58:05,119 screen in for theatrical releases. Films such as Tales from the Hood in Monkey 706 00:58:05,199 --> 00:58:13,000 Shines became monumental classics in their own right and showed that I anthologies could be 707 00:58:13,159 --> 00:58:19,280 successful on the large screen as well. Without the success of Creepshow, one 708 00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:23,800 could argue that all of those would have never found the successes that they have. 709 00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:30,679 This film has spawned two sequels, one in nineteen eighty seven and a 710 00:58:30,719 --> 00:58:37,320 direct to video release in two thousand and seven. In twenty nineteen, the 711 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:44,800 fledgling streaming service Shutter announced Creepshow would be made into a series. It has 712 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:50,719 aired since and was recently renewed for its fourth season, set to begin next 713 00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:55,679 month. This just shows the lasting legacy of this film and adds to the 714 00:58:55,800 --> 00:59:01,599 legend of two masters of horror. I hope you joined me. Next week 715 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:06,960 when we continue our month long tribute to George A. Ramero, we will 716 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:12,840 look at one of his rare non horror films, the nineteen eighty one drama 717 00:59:13,199 --> 00:59:17,880 Night Writers starring Ed Harris for WM and eight Hure and Matt Connerton Unleached. 718 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:40,679 This has been a classic film review with Eric Pilcher.

By the way, Casey, so 791 01:07:19,239 --> 01:07:25,199 where does the name come from? Soda? So it's funny a little story. 792 01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:30,000 I was writing the song Soda about two two and a half years ago, 793 01:07:30,519 --> 01:07:34,920 and when it comes to lyrics, I tend to I like to do 794 01:07:35,039 --> 01:07:39,119 stream of consciousness a lot of the times, and I kind of let that 795 01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:44,119 breed where the lyrics take me. And as I was writing the instrumentals for 796 01:07:44,199 --> 01:07:46,159 the song, I kept hearing the phrase poison the water, poison the water 797 01:07:46,239 --> 01:07:49,920 as you're hearing the chorus. Yeah. And I don't know why I heard 798 01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:54,360 that phrase in my head. It was just it kept like it repeating day 799 01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:56,239 after day, and I was like that, that's kind of cool. So 800 01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,840 I looked it up online and I was like, this probably is something to 801 01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:03,039 do with the bill. I'm sure there's something in that vein because I think 802 01:08:03,079 --> 01:08:08,079 it's I wouldn't consider myself a religious person, but I find a lot of 803 01:08:08,159 --> 01:08:12,280 the imagery and themes in the Bible very intriguing. I think you can pull 804 01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,960 a lot from that. Yeah, so I looked it up and it turns 805 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:24,319 out that soda it's a story from actually very early Testament, and those that 806 01:08:24,399 --> 01:08:30,479 were thought to have cheated on their significant other were put through a trial of 807 01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:34,720 the poison water. Oh, and if they drank the poison water and they 808 01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:39,359 died, they were guilty of cheating. If they survived, they were innocent, 809 01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:44,000 and those accused were called sota. Oh I'll be damned. Yeah, 810 01:08:44,199 --> 01:08:46,439 no, pun intended. So that's where that came from. Wow, Oh 811 01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:49,199 that's pretty cool. See if i'd be a little bit alarmed if I kept 812 01:08:49,239 --> 01:08:51,880 hearing that phrase over and over in my head, Oh definitely, you know, 813 01:08:53,199 --> 01:08:55,640 especially if it was the same voice that tells me to burn things, 814 01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:58,800 I'd be pretty freaked out. But but you created a song with it, 815 01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:02,279 so that's great. So yeah, So, so you like the title so 816 01:09:02,399 --> 01:09:06,800 much you decided to also call the project. Yeah, it's really hard to 817 01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:12,279 come up with band names nowadays because every single band name has been taken, 818 01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,560 right, So I looked on Spotify at the time and there were no other 819 01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:17,119 sodas, so I said, you know what, I like it. We'll 820 01:09:17,119 --> 01:09:21,039 call the project Soda very cool. We have a question for you in the 821 01:09:21,039 --> 01:09:27,800 Facebook live chat, Isaac Banks is asking hashtag Soda what's your favorite song of 822 01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:31,159 Susanne Vega? Do you have a favorite Susanne Vega song? I need to 823 01:09:31,199 --> 01:09:35,000 apologize to him. I don't even know who Susanne Vega is. I apologize, 824 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:40,119 that's all right. I suspected that might be a kag Isazac Banks acts 825 01:09:40,199 --> 01:09:43,840 asks very strange questions. Yeah, it's from Greensboro, North Carolina. That's 826 01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:45,159 how they do it. Do you know the song? My name is Luca. 827 01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:48,560 My name is Luca. Oh sure, that's Suzanne Vega. Okay, 828 01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:53,239 I think that's I think that's our only really big hit though, So well 829 01:09:53,279 --> 01:09:56,520 that's my favorite. Then there you go, there you go. Well, 830 01:09:56,520 --> 01:09:58,760 you've got your guitar, you want to play something for us and dine? 831 01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:00,920 Here, you play and then we'll talk some more. Yeah, absolutely, 832 01:10:00,800 --> 01:10:04,880 I'm gonna play. This is the very first original single that I ever released. 833 01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:10,399 This came out Saint Patrick's Day of twenty twenty one. It's called Dying 834 01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:15,600 Breath. All right, When you hear my name? Do you cry like 835 01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:21,720 God? Do? When you see my face? Do you die like God? 836 01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:28,399 Do? I can hear your voicing. I don't know how I should 837 01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:33,600 feel. I can see your smile, and I don't know if it's real. 838 01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:54,239 Is it the same for you? Woo woo woo, woa whoa, 839 01:10:55,359 --> 01:11:12,119 woa oh whoa. Everywhere I go I can feel you there, Even in 840 01:11:12,279 --> 01:11:18,479 my room, I can feel your stare. God knows. I've tried to 841 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:26,399 kill the shadows that remain, but when I'm on my own, I relive 842 01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:31,640 all the pain. Is it the same for you? But have you let 843 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:40,399 it go? Is it a shame for you that we couldn't grow? I'm 844 01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:47,079 not sure why I care? Why I wanna know? Is it the same 845 01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:56,520 for you? Don't want to sleep because I know I'll meet you there, 846 01:11:58,359 --> 01:12:04,000 don't want away because the truth is hot too bad. God knows. I've 847 01:12:04,079 --> 01:12:11,199 try to kill the feelings that remain, but when I'm on my own, 848 01:12:12,399 --> 01:12:16,960 I know it's all in vain. There hasn't pean a second yet. You 849 01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:24,399 haven't crossed my mind. You know I've tried with all my heart to leave 850 01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:30,560 it up behind. I'm holding on to something that I cannot fix this time. 851 01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:38,600 It's not so easy to except maybe you're doing fine, and yeah, 852 01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:59,760 maybe you're doing fine. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, 853 01:13:00,079 --> 01:13:09,359 oh whoa? Is it the same for? But have you let it go? 854 01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:16,279 Is it a shame for you that we couldn't grow? I'm not sure 855 01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:25,119 why I can't. Why I wanna know? Is it the same for? 856 01:13:28,199 --> 01:13:33,239 There hasn't been a second yet. You haven't crossed my mind. You know. 857 01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:40,359 I've tried with all my heart to leave it up behind. I'm holding 858 01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:46,600 out to something that I can I fix this time. Is it the same 859 01:13:47,399 --> 01:13:58,479 for? Is it the same? Is it the same? Is it the 860 01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:04,760 same? As it the same? Is it the same? Is it the 861 01:14:05,039 --> 01:14:15,319 same? Is it the same for you? Very nice? Very nice? 862 01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:19,720 If you're just joining us? Casey Drone is here from the band Soda, 863 01:14:20,119 --> 01:14:25,760 is it who else has involved in that? With you? So? I 864 01:14:26,079 --> 01:14:31,279 initially asked my longtime friend from high school and drummer Johnny Dayshan. I've known 865 01:14:31,359 --> 01:14:33,760 him for years. I've always wanted to be in a band with him. 866 01:14:34,239 --> 01:14:38,880 I just never have been up until this point. Yea, So it's a 867 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:42,800 dream come true to be working with him. The bass player is actually my 868 01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:47,479 younger brother, Killian Drone and he is a senior in high school, so 869 01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,600 it's very cool to have him in the band as well. And then we've 870 01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:58,239 gone through various guitar players. Originally Brandon Curcio from after Image has helped fill 871 01:14:58,319 --> 01:15:02,159 in and he actually does all the solos that you hear on the recorded songs. 872 01:15:02,279 --> 01:15:06,920 Oh okay, and he mixed and mastered my EP that was released today. 873 01:15:08,079 --> 01:15:11,800 Oh wow, but very cool. Lately, I've been working with Zoe 874 01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:15,800 Pancratz Harvey Olsen. She's been helping play guitar at some of our live gigs. 875 01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:20,079 So that's a wonderful addition because she just adds a lot to our sound. 876 01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:25,640 She's a phenomenal player, monster guitar player, so very excited to have 877 01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:29,720 her join. She joined earlier this spring. Okay, yeah, cool. 878 01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:31,520 Cool. It's nice too though that you know, if you have to you 879 01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:34,800 can always do it just by yourself too obviously, you know, des grab 880 01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:39,159 your guitar and do it that way too, so you have some flexibility. 881 01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:45,199 Absolutely. It's it's funny because in Afterimage, it's always been a group effort 882 01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:50,800 when writing our songs with Soda, it's all me my band members don't mind 883 01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:55,680 that I do one hundred percent of the writing. I hand them the music, 884 01:15:56,039 --> 01:15:59,640 they listen to it and they play their parts. They'll embellish little things 885 01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:02,359 here and there. But it's the first project where I've kind of had complete 886 01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,960 creative control. Yeah, so it's nice and that it definitely gives me the 887 01:16:06,039 --> 01:16:10,039 opportunity. I wrote them, so I know everything, so I'm able to 888 01:16:10,239 --> 01:16:13,039 sit here today with my acoustic and play him for you. So yeah, 889 01:16:13,239 --> 01:16:16,119 yeah, Now, so on the because we've played a couple of studio tracks. 890 01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:21,000 On the studio tracks, who who is I mean? Are you doing 891 01:16:21,279 --> 01:16:26,680 most of the or maybe all of it on the studio tracks? So I 892 01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:32,159 really admired how Dave Grohl the first food Fighters album was completely done by himself. 893 01:16:32,319 --> 01:16:38,000 Yeah. Unfortunately, I don't play drums and I'm not that much of 894 01:16:38,039 --> 01:16:42,319 a shredder on lead guitar. I'm very I'm pretty decent at rhythm guitar, 895 01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,720 but I wanted to try and do as much as I could buy myself. 896 01:16:45,800 --> 01:16:50,359 So on the EP, I recorded the rhythm guitar tracks, the bass tracks, 897 01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:56,920 and vocals. Johnny Dayshaun played drums. He did a different percussion that 898 01:16:56,920 --> 01:17:00,199 you'll hear like tambourine and shaker and stuff like that. He provided some backup 899 01:17:00,279 --> 01:17:03,560 vocals, and then Brandon Cursio, like I said, he did all the 900 01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:09,039 lead guitar tracks and solos. Okay, okay, very cool. There's somebody 901 01:17:09,119 --> 01:17:11,399 in the chat room. I have a feeling he might be related to you, 902 01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:15,159 Dave Daron that's my dad. Excellent, excellent. Yeah, it's good 903 01:17:15,159 --> 01:17:18,079 to have supportive parents. Absolutely. Yep, you're getting some love in there 904 01:17:18,119 --> 01:17:23,079 too. A Miriam Banish says that was amazing. She really liked the song 905 01:17:23,159 --> 01:17:28,079 you played. Thank you very much. Isaac Banks says, awesome. And 906 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:32,359 do you cover tunes? Do you do any cover tunes? He's asking I 907 01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:36,359 do do some cover tunes. I'm actually going to play one for you guys 908 01:17:38,039 --> 01:17:42,880 today. But yeah, no, I like to cover all sorts of different 909 01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:46,279 stuff. Soda is very much in the realm of punk and SKA, so 910 01:17:46,359 --> 01:17:50,600 I like to do various covers. But in the past we've done American Jesus 911 01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:57,319 by Bad Religion. Actually on Spotify. The very first release that I put 912 01:17:57,399 --> 01:18:00,239 out was a cover of the Mighty Mighty Boss tones They will need Me Music, 913 01:18:00,359 --> 01:18:03,319 Oh no kidding, And it was really cool because I released it my 914 01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,560 first everthing was soda, and two weeks later they actually shared it on all 915 01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:10,000 their social media. That's cool. Yeah, it was good, good, 916 01:18:10,079 --> 01:18:12,920 cool right off the bat. And did you did you know they were gonna 917 01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:15,239 do that? Like, did they contact you directly or they just did it? 918 01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:18,520 No. I'm Facebook friends with a couple of them, just having gone 919 01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:23,479 to the shows for years, and they're pretty open with their fans, which 920 01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:26,079 is really cool. But they're not really the type that, like you sent 921 01:18:26,159 --> 01:18:28,520 of a message and they'll get right back to you. You know that they're 922 01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,520 living their lives too, so I don't know. I guess one of them 923 01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:35,039 saw it and they really liked it. They showed the rest of the band 924 01:18:35,119 --> 01:18:38,720 and then they shared it, so that was all on them. I had 925 01:18:38,760 --> 01:18:42,560 nothing to do with that, which was really cool. That's excellent. Oh, 926 01:18:43,079 --> 01:18:46,239 your dad says, your mom is there too. And brothers a phenomenal 927 01:18:46,279 --> 01:18:49,039 whole family listening in. How many brothers you have? I have four younger 928 01:18:49,119 --> 01:18:53,279 brothers. Oh my god. Oh yeah, big family, huge family, 929 01:18:53,319 --> 01:18:57,880 all boys. Oh no kidding? Are you so you're the oldest. I 930 01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:00,720 am the oldest. Yeah, are your brothers? Do any of them play 931 01:19:01,119 --> 01:19:05,760 play instruments, or just my brother Kellyan, who's in the band right, 932 01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,039 A couple of my brothers. One of them played trumpet for a year or 933 01:19:11,079 --> 01:19:13,680 two and then he got sick of it, so he could have been my 934 01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:16,840 horn player, but he bailed right right ten years ago. Oh wow, 935 01:19:17,159 --> 01:19:20,800 no kidding, boy, Yeah, I can't imagine, you know, I 936 01:19:21,239 --> 01:19:28,239 my first sibling. I was already ten years old when my first sister was 937 01:19:28,359 --> 01:19:30,720 born. So it's like I kind of almost feels like I grew up an 938 01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:33,760 only child. But it's just it's hard. It's always been hard for me 939 01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:36,479 to imagine what it must be like to have that many siblings. You know, 940 01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:40,159 it must get crowded, I would think, But then again, you 941 01:19:40,239 --> 01:19:42,840 grew up with that, so you're used to it. It's a full house, 942 01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:45,359 though, that's for sure. We're always doing something. Yeah, Yeah, 943 01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:51,680 that's cool. I saw somebody else pop in here too. Oh I 944 01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:55,000 can't find him now, Oh that's all right, they'll say. Oh, 945 01:19:55,359 --> 01:19:59,880 Jason Fetterson in the chat room. I was asking, now, this is 946 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:04,439 a question that he asks everybody. He's asking, have you ever considered increasing 947 01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:09,960 the length of your beard? Now, that's a particularly interesting question for you. 948 01:20:10,199 --> 01:20:15,199 Since those of you only listening who can't see Casey does not have any 949 01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:18,960 facial air. I don't so when COVID hit, I tried to grow a 950 01:20:19,039 --> 01:20:24,000 little got Yeah, it's not here anymore. So that's that's all I'll say 951 01:20:24,039 --> 01:20:27,399 about that. It is unusual, though, it seems like everybody asks facial 952 01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:30,680 hair these days. I know, you know, when you're able to grow 953 01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,000 it, it must be nice. You rarely see anybody clean shaving anymore. 954 01:20:34,399 --> 01:20:38,600 It's kind of funny. Oh, your dad says, ask Casey about his 955 01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:44,119 Kermit tattoo. He already asked that last time. We're getting repeat questions here. 956 01:20:44,239 --> 01:20:46,640 Yeah, I have a Kermit tattoo, Kermit the Frog right on my 957 01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:50,239 arm. Oh okay, yeah, I love the Muppets, big Muppets fan. 958 01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:55,840 So for those that don't know me, I have a Kermit the Frog 959 01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,560 tattoo on my arms. My brothers make fun of me a lot for that. 960 01:20:59,239 --> 01:21:01,960 Oh yeah, nothing wrong with that. I don't remember asking you about 961 01:21:01,960 --> 01:21:05,319 that last time. Yeah, he called in. Oh he called it, 962 01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:11,239 he said, ask him about the Kermit tattoo. Now it's coming back like 963 01:21:11,319 --> 01:21:15,880 this might be a recurring. The studio line is open if you have any 964 01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:19,920 questions for casey six zero three two five six zero seven. Uh. Mike 965 01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:24,439 Pelapito from Queen City Cabinetry, one of our great sponsors, and I get 966 01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:28,239 to hang out with Mike tonight on retro Spectrum Radio with Paul C from A 967 01:21:28,359 --> 01:21:31,279 to eleven PM. He called you a very talented musician. Oh, thank 968 01:21:31,319 --> 01:21:35,520 you very much, very nice, very nice. Do you want to you 969 01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:40,560 want to play another song? Absolutely? Yeah, I'm gonna play an unreleased 970 01:21:40,600 --> 01:21:44,880 song. It has been recorded, just has not been released yet. Okay, 971 01:21:45,039 --> 01:22:00,359 this is called sunrise, all right. They see the winds of chain 972 01:22:03,079 --> 01:22:15,479 up here after the rain, but only some might find where the sunlight lies. 973 01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:23,960 No matter how they mightter, you don't ever let it. Father, 974 01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:46,560 you're strangling day, say you will live another day? Did you grow from 975 01:22:46,720 --> 01:23:00,199 the pain or just suffer in vain? Sometimes it's hard to find your own 976 01:23:00,319 --> 01:23:10,600 peace of mind. I lie awake, can think of you and other selfish 977 01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:20,560 things I do. I just can't understand how to make a mass. When 978 01:23:20,680 --> 01:23:30,359 will the sunrise? Sunrise? Had enough moonlight? Moonlight, So seek of 979 01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:51,399 the night, the night, bring on the sunlight, sunlight. My heart 980 01:23:51,640 --> 01:24:01,479 was on my sleeve. I know you watched it. Please hemorrhad dring in 981 01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:12,319 my hands. But still my love will stand no matter how much pain you 982 01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:20,319 feel. Don't never doubt that you are real. You're not the only one 983 01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:32,319 who's still searching for the sun. When will the sunrise sunrise hide enough moonlight? 984 01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:41,560 Moonlight? So sick of the night, then night, bring on the 985 01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:51,600 sunlight, sunlight? When will the sunrise sunrise hide enough? Moonlight? Moonlight? 986 01:24:54,680 --> 01:25:00,359 So sick of the night the night? Bring on a sun that sun 987 01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:29,840 I like it. What's that called again? It's called sunrise? It's very 988 01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:31,520 nice. Thank you nice? Now? When is that? So? That's 989 01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,479 been recorded but it's not out yet? No, yeah, I was. 990 01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:42,840 I actually recorded seven songs in this Love Hate recording session, and it really 991 01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:45,680 took me some time to figure out what I wanted to be on the project 992 01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:48,520 and what I didn't want to be on the project, And that one ultimately 993 01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:54,920 did not make the cut because I felt that the recorded track really has a 994 01:25:55,319 --> 01:26:00,640 different feel to it. I wanted to go for a police eighties like I 995 01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:02,760 was thinking that when you started playing that at the police. Yes, it 996 01:26:03,239 --> 01:26:06,800 has a very The bed's too big without you? Bring on the night that 997 01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:11,520 Those were the two big influences from it. Yeah, so it has a 998 01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:15,800 very eighties reverbi kind of reggae scot feel, and I thought that it kind 999 01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:21,319 of could stand out as its own single, So that'll come out at some 1000 01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:26,399 point down the line, but just chose not to put it on this Love 1001 01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:28,960 Hate release. Yeah, yeah, no, it's really good. Thank you. 1002 01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:30,840 Where did you How did you learn to sing? Did did you take 1003 01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:34,560 lessons or you self taught or I learned to sing in my car? Because 1004 01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:39,640 you have a very powerful voice like you project very well. Thank you very 1005 01:26:39,760 --> 01:26:44,920 much. I played trumpet for almost ten years, and I don't know if 1006 01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:47,920 that has anything to do with it. I know that makes sense. Ronnie 1007 01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:53,319 James Dio, who I consider one of the greatest, most powerful singers of 1008 01:26:53,359 --> 01:26:58,840 all time, often attributed his power and his voice from playing trumpet, and 1009 01:26:59,399 --> 01:27:02,159 I never knew that out about Dio. Yeah, he started out playing trumpet 1010 01:27:02,239 --> 01:27:04,960 in various jazz bands. I fit, wow. I didn't know that. 1011 01:27:05,119 --> 01:27:08,560 So we had a lot of air control, and I don't know if that 1012 01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:11,720 has anything to do with it. I know that a lot of my favorite 1013 01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:15,279 singers are punk singers and they yell, so I just kind of went for 1014 01:27:15,399 --> 01:27:18,880 it and I found my own way without hurting my voice to project. Yeah. 1015 01:27:19,039 --> 01:27:21,680 Yeah, no, that makes sense though about the trumpet, that totally 1016 01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:26,920 makes sense. Do you ever does your voice ever hurt from that at all? 1017 01:27:27,079 --> 01:27:29,640 Or you're pretty pretty good with it? No, I've I know, 1018 01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:33,359 early on in high school when I sing, I didn't really have much technique, 1019 01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:35,560 not that I have any technique now, but I think I've kind of 1020 01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:39,520 refined it a little bit to where I know what I'm doing a little bit 1021 01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:43,720 more. But early on, when I do the kind of Dicky Barrett growl, 1022 01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:46,159 yeah, I definitely would get a sore throat after that, but I've 1023 01:27:46,199 --> 01:27:50,279 kind of figured out a way to do that where it doesn't hurt anymore. 1024 01:27:50,279 --> 01:27:54,800 I can still get the growl. And I've also learned how to do a 1025 01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:59,520 semi like vocal fry, which is using the higher end of your vocals. 1026 01:28:00,399 --> 01:28:02,920 I use a mix of the two, and I think just the power behind 1027 01:28:03,000 --> 01:28:06,800 my voice kind of makes it so I don't hurt myself, which is Yeah, 1028 01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:11,159 it's been a long time coming. Yeah, it's so important to to 1029 01:28:11,279 --> 01:28:14,359 be able to do that without because you don't want to be you know, 1030 01:28:14,399 --> 01:28:15,439 you don't want to be one of those guys who eventually, you know, 1031 01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:18,399 your voice kind of blows out right. Uh, do you know? Uh 1032 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:24,479 Sam Beechard from House Lights and Always Forward the promoter, No, I don't. 1033 01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:28,239 We we had we had him on the show and you'll you'll probably run 1034 01:28:28,279 --> 01:28:30,600 into him at some point because he's doing a lot in the scene. But 1035 01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:33,960 yeah, we were talking about the importance of taking care of your voice and 1036 01:28:34,239 --> 01:28:38,640 being able to sing without hurting yourself and getting a short throat because he does 1037 01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:45,279 the he's does the growley stuff and the straight singing and and it's it's impressed. 1038 01:28:45,319 --> 01:28:48,880 It's always impressed me. Uh, people who can really push their voices 1039 01:28:49,039 --> 01:28:53,920 without without hurting themselves. I took vocal lessons over the years from a few 1040 01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:57,159 different vocal coaches, and but I never I never got good enough to be 1041 01:28:57,199 --> 01:29:00,479 able to I'm a good harmony singer, you know. I can sing with 1042 01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:02,000 other people and find the octave and kind of lock in, but on my 1043 01:29:02,079 --> 01:29:05,439 own I get lost. But I remember it was a you know, even 1044 01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:08,840 when I was taking lessons, it was a challenge for me to just being 1045 01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:13,520 able to learn how to project without without hurting my throat right now. Yeah, 1046 01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:15,560 No, for me, I've always been very insecure as a singer. 1047 01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:21,600 I don't necessarily think that I have the best voice, but I enjoy bands 1048 01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:26,319 where that's not really necessary. I love punk, I love Scott my favorite 1049 01:29:26,319 --> 01:29:30,000 singer, Sticky Barrett of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, who I think he has 1050 01:29:30,039 --> 01:29:32,000 a great voice. But to you know, a common listener, they might 1051 01:29:32,079 --> 01:29:35,680 say, what the heck is that all about? But so I think listening 1052 01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:40,479 to bands like that really gave me the confidence to do my own thing and 1053 01:29:41,359 --> 01:29:45,000 sing how I want to sing and be completely me. Does it? Does 1054 01:29:45,079 --> 01:29:47,359 it? He have a thing I seem to remember a long time ago. 1055 01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:51,439 I've never seen them live, but I remember seeing a video where he uh, 1056 01:29:51,560 --> 01:29:56,399 and I guess it's something that he says sometimes live where he'll coming up 1057 01:29:56,399 --> 01:29:59,119 on a chorus to a song, he'll yell out something like, sing along, 1058 01:29:59,279 --> 01:30:00,279 but if you can't sing, do what I do? You got it? 1059 01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:04,000 I did that every show. I always laughed every single time. Yeah. 1060 01:30:04,239 --> 01:30:09,640 Yeah. And in terms of so the songs, so the songs are 1061 01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:15,960 completely written by you do the lyrics come first? And then it's very tough. 1062 01:30:15,159 --> 01:30:18,720 I half the time I don't even know what I'm doing. A lot 1063 01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:24,039 of times I'll write the instrumentals first, lyrics completely separate. I know a 1064 01:30:24,119 --> 01:30:30,319 lot of singers write lyrics to the music. I don't do that at all. 1065 01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:36,640 I like to write stories and versus completely on their own. And a 1066 01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:41,359 lot of times what I'll do is I'll take influence from other songs that i'll 1067 01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:46,600 hear in terms of how they do cadences, and I'll use the cadences from 1068 01:30:46,640 --> 01:30:49,960 other songs to kind of figure out how I want to sing them. Yeah, 1069 01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:56,159 And that's just looking at the lyrics, and then I'll just try to 1070 01:30:56,239 --> 01:30:59,199 cram them into songs that I write. And sometimes it works, and sometimes 1071 01:30:59,239 --> 01:31:02,319 it doesn't have to go back to the drawing board. But every song that 1072 01:31:02,600 --> 01:31:08,039 you'll hear from me today was something that there were two separate entities that kind 1073 01:31:08,039 --> 01:31:12,600 of merged together after a little bit of working it. Yeah, yeah, 1074 01:31:13,159 --> 01:31:15,520 Well do you want to Should we play another studio track? Absolutely? Go 1075 01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:18,680 ahead? What what? What would you? Uh? Why don't you play 1076 01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:24,800 love Hate? That's gonna be the next single. We're hoping to record a 1077 01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:28,279 music video for that at our next show, which I'll talk about a little 1078 01:31:28,359 --> 01:31:31,720 later. Yeah, yeah, And so these are all from now. So 1079 01:31:32,039 --> 01:31:34,119 this is one of the ones that came out today. Correct, Yes, 1080 01:31:34,239 --> 01:31:39,520 you got it? And so are these? Are these a collection of singles 1081 01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:42,159 or are they an actual EP? It's an EP? Yeah. So. 1082 01:31:43,159 --> 01:31:46,239 The lead single, Soto was released two weeks ago and the three other songs 1083 01:31:46,319 --> 01:31:50,159 were released today. Okay, gotcha, gotcha?

Uh, And Casey Drone is here with us in 1097 01:34:57,319 --> 01:34:59,920 studio. He's on the couch, he's got his guitar, he's been playing 1098 01:35:00,119 --> 01:35:02,560 some songs and we've been talking and having a great time this afternoon on Matt 1099 01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:06,800 Connerton Unleashed. If you are just joining us and you'd like to to chime 1100 01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:11,199 in six zoo three two five zero six zoo seven, the studio line is 1101 01:35:11,279 --> 01:35:14,880 open six ZO three two five zero six ZO seven if you have any questions 1102 01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:19,479 or feedback or anything at all for Casey and uh. Yeah, we were 1103 01:35:20,039 --> 01:35:23,800 talking off air while that song was playing. I was saying to you, 1104 01:35:24,319 --> 01:35:28,159 who's who's the drummer on that again? Johnny DeShawn, Johnny DeShawn, Yeah, 1105 01:35:28,159 --> 01:35:30,560 I gotta give gotta give him props exolutely really drives that song. And 1106 01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:33,880 ye and yeah, we were kind of talking a little bit too. I 1107 01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:39,399 was saying, how you know a lot of because it's it's easier than ever 1108 01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:42,800 to do it if you want to have program drums. But but a song 1109 01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:46,439 like that needs real drums. Absolutely. The energy is lost if you don't 1110 01:35:46,520 --> 01:35:51,960 have the human touch. Yeah, and I always felt that punk music is 1111 01:35:53,199 --> 01:35:57,520 all about rawness, it's all about power. It's all about being completely authentic, 1112 01:35:57,680 --> 01:36:01,239 and to do anything other than that just feels the opposite of punkin right 1113 01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:05,520 right. Oh yeah, Oh, so here's another. I assume this is 1114 01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:10,279 someone related to you, Jody West Drone. That's my mom. Oh, 1115 01:36:10,520 --> 01:36:14,960 very nice.

All right. Every day I'm wondering who I want 1122 01:36:54,880 --> 01:37:09,319 to be, and every day I'm pondering how do you see me? And 1123 01:37:09,600 --> 01:37:43,159 time? No, howll I can be? I see clearly the rain. 1124 01:37:48,880 --> 01:38:18,000 I find comfort in the pain. M M in the rain, in the 1125 01:38:18,279 --> 01:38:36,319 rain, in the rain, in the rain. Oh, it's pretty, 1126 01:38:39,079 --> 01:38:42,039 very nice, very nice. If you're just joining us, Casey Drone is 1127 01:38:42,079 --> 01:38:45,840 here. We've been talking about his project Soda.

It's funny. I got tickets to the Rancid 1137 01:39:19,439 --> 01:39:24,159 show months ago before I even knew that this Manchester show is going to get 1138 01:39:24,159 --> 01:39:27,640 announced, because I really wanted to see Murphy's Law. They used to tour 1139 01:39:27,800 --> 01:39:30,439 with the Bosstones and Fishbone and all that back in the early nineties late eighties. 1140 01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:32,479 Yea, So I was like, oh, I gotta go see that 1141 01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:36,920 Rancid show.

So I knew 1143 01:39:44,359 --> 01:39:45,640 that I had to play that show. I was like, there's no way 1144 01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:48,199 I am not playing the show.

Yes, Casey Drone is 1214 01:45:27,800 --> 01:45:30,800 here from Soda. And we should mention also After Image, which is the 1215 01:45:31,039 --> 01:45:34,479 absolutely you're on here with before it. Did you want to catch us up 1216 01:45:34,560 --> 01:45:38,560 on what's going on there? We were kind of talking off earlier. Yeah, 1217 01:45:39,520 --> 01:45:43,439 well, After Image has been in the studio. We just recently recorded 1218 01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:48,000 four new songs that will be out eventually. Don't hold your breath. It's 1219 01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:50,720 gonna come out at some point. But we really want to make it big. 1220 01:45:50,840 --> 01:45:54,039 We want to go over the top, have some music videos, have 1221 01:45:54,119 --> 01:45:57,760 a nice release for that. So it is coming. You just gotta be 1222 01:45:57,840 --> 01:46:01,239 patient. Yeah, yeah, very cool, good good. Miriam Banish said 1223 01:46:01,279 --> 01:46:04,039 in the chat room, Oh, that was so fun. And uh, 1224 01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:09,920 Melanie La Liberty says, come on, he never returned. He returned apparently 1225 01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:13,319 not. Oh, and your mother clarified. Someone had asked her what her 1226 01:46:13,359 --> 01:46:17,199 favorite Jamie Walter's song was that how can You Talk to an Angel? I'm 1227 01:46:17,199 --> 01:46:21,560 not going to cover it. Sorry, yeah, no you shouldn't. That's 1228 01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:24,960 funny. I bet I know, I bet I know who was asking her 1229 01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:27,560 that. And in the chat room too, some of the conversations are going 1230 01:46:27,680 --> 01:46:32,720 in there. So so how much music does Soda have released at this point, 1231 01:46:32,720 --> 01:46:35,159 because you've got the four that just came out, right, Yeah, 1232 01:46:35,199 --> 01:46:39,239 and I actually only have two other ones. I have Dying Breath, which 1233 01:46:39,239 --> 01:46:43,520 I played acoustically earlier, and then that Bosstones cover. So okay. I 1234 01:46:44,159 --> 01:46:45,399 In the next year, I'm hoping to get a lot of music out there. 1235 01:46:45,399 --> 01:46:48,439 I have a full album written that needs to be recorded, but I 1236 01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:53,119 have a about ten or eleven songs that are on the way excellent. Yeah, 1237 01:46:53,439 --> 01:46:56,399 and uh yeah, it's cool too because they're the ones that you just 1238 01:46:56,520 --> 01:47:00,239 came out with their lyric videos on YouTube, which is which is nice because 1239 01:47:00,399 --> 01:47:02,359 you know, something I have to do when I'm getting ready for the show 1240 01:47:02,439 --> 01:47:04,600 is I have to go through and make sure the songs, you know, 1241 01:47:04,640 --> 01:47:08,960 I see if I need to make a radio at it. But with you, 1242 01:47:09,079 --> 01:47:11,399 that wasn't a problem because you don't have any swears in anything, so 1243 01:47:11,520 --> 01:47:15,960 that was which was nice. I appreciate that very very conveniently. I'm forever 1244 01:47:16,079 --> 01:47:18,800 making radio audits of things, which I don't mind doing, but but it's 1245 01:47:18,880 --> 01:47:21,439 nice to not have to do it. Where do you record? By the 1246 01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:27,000 way, we record in town at Blackheart Sound. If you know where the 1247 01:47:27,359 --> 01:47:30,640 Manchester Music Mill is, right over on Elm Street, it's right behind there. 1248 01:47:32,239 --> 01:47:38,199 Brandon my guitar player from Afterimage, and he's been doing all the mixing 1249 01:47:38,239 --> 01:47:42,399 and mastering for me for Soda. He kind of worked his way in there. 1250 01:47:42,560 --> 01:47:45,119 That's where after Image records too, and that's what he does for his 1251 01:47:45,239 --> 01:47:49,000 profession, so now he's kind of working their part time and he does a 1252 01:47:49,039 --> 01:47:51,960 great job. So yeah, it's nice to just drive ten minutes down the 1253 01:47:53,039 --> 01:47:55,760 road and record your stuff. Excellent. Yeah, and it must be nice 1254 01:47:55,760 --> 01:48:00,279 to to record with somebody who already is so familiar with how you work. 1255 01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:02,359 Right, absolutely, let's make it so much easier. Oh yeah, things 1256 01:48:02,479 --> 01:48:06,159 go like we'll book a three hour session and we know exactly what we're going 1257 01:48:06,199 --> 01:48:10,039 to be doing for that three hour session. There's no room for like, 1258 01:48:10,560 --> 01:48:13,000 well, we might get to this. It's we kind of have it locked 1259 01:48:13,039 --> 01:48:15,560 in at this point where we work very well with each other. Yeah. 1260 01:48:15,159 --> 01:48:20,399 Is it the same approach with Afterimage as it is with this project in terms 1261 01:48:20,439 --> 01:48:24,920 of just you you go in knowing exactly what you're gonna do, and pretty 1262 01:48:25,039 --> 01:48:30,600 much After Image is a different beast because the songs there are a little more 1263 01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:34,560 conceptual, a lot longer. We're looking at like our latest batch material has 1264 01:48:34,640 --> 01:48:39,439 I believe, an eight minute song and a nine minute song. Those are 1265 01:48:39,560 --> 01:48:42,640 not going to be recorded in the same sense as a three minute punk song, 1266 01:48:42,840 --> 01:48:46,119 right, So we do those in pieces, like we'll have one session 1267 01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:49,880 solely dedicated to drums, then the next one will be guitar and bass, 1268 01:48:49,920 --> 01:48:54,960 and then eventually we'll get to vocal. So it's a very different approach when 1269 01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:57,920 it comes to the After Image music. Yeah, yeah, no doubt, 1270 01:48:59,039 --> 01:49:01,920 Melanie said she's fixated on that song. She says, I just think he 1271 01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:05,720 would have returned at least once, you know, to the for the holidays 1272 01:49:06,079 --> 01:49:11,319 or his mom's birthday. Yeah, you know, as the song goes, 1273 01:49:11,399 --> 01:49:15,680 and it's it's actually an old folk songs. It is. The Drop Kicks 1274 01:49:15,840 --> 01:49:18,239 changed the lyrics a little bit, but it's uh. I believe it used 1275 01:49:18,239 --> 01:49:24,119 to be called Johnny on the MTA and that's been around for about one hundred 1276 01:49:24,199 --> 01:49:27,119 years. But I don't know that. The legend says he never came back, 1277 01:49:27,159 --> 01:49:29,720 and we don't know where he is. Is he living in down there? 1278 01:49:29,800 --> 01:49:33,760 We don't know. And Jay Fed said, thank you for not swearing. 1279 01:49:33,920 --> 01:49:38,840 I'm not a fan of the profanity. Actually, you know, it's 1280 01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:42,960 funny in that in Skinhead on the MBTA you might have noticed that there was 1281 01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:48,039 a verse that I completely cut out. It's because it's throne as Okay, 1282 01:49:48,239 --> 01:49:53,800 well well done, Yeah, Melanie says, So he doesn't really know if 1283 01:49:53,800 --> 01:49:57,359 he returned or not. We'll never know who knows And no, we'll never 1284 01:49:57,439 --> 01:50:00,319 know just as the song goes. And if the original song is one hundred 1285 01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:02,680 years old, then you know, he'd probably be passed on by now. 1286 01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:09,720 Probably probably. Yeah. What should what should people know about? Where to 1287 01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:12,640 find your music, website, social media, anything you want to make sure 1288 01:50:12,640 --> 01:50:15,119 our listeners know about.

My artwork is oftentimes done by 1299 01:50:57,560 --> 01:51:00,279 Jerry Matts, who's a legendary punk ourist. He's been in the scene since 1300 01:51:00,319 --> 01:51:04,239 the eighties from New York and he does a lot of my artwork for me. 1301 01:51:04,479 --> 01:51:08,199 Oh cool, very cool. How did you get connected with him? 1302 01:51:08,560 --> 01:51:12,279 So, as I've said about fifteen times already on this show, a huge 1303 01:51:12,319 --> 01:51:18,239 Bosstones fan. He actually designed the Mighty Mighty Boss Tones logo. He did 1304 01:51:18,279 --> 01:51:21,319 their bulldog, which I actually have tattooed on my arm right here. Ye. 1305 01:51:23,439 --> 01:51:28,840 He various t shirt designs, and I'm in a Facebook group online for 1306 01:51:28,880 --> 01:51:30,640 the Boss Tomes. He started posting his artwork.
