It's like a ten minute song but now whatever, it's Friday. 41 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,080 It's just so cool and getting a lot of positive response in the chat room. 42 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaking of Eric Pilcher, I see I see him in the chat room. 43 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,799 He says this is amazing, and Jenny says, this is awesome. 44 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,799 Yeah, I really like their sound. They're they're doing something pretty unique. 45 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,919 That's the longest of their songs. Most of their songs are under five minutes, 46 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,919 but that particular track, I listened to it and it's so epic. 47 00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:54,000 It's just like wow. So I thought that would be an appropriate opener for 48 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,000 today's show, but I'm really looking forward to meeting those guys today in the 49 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,480 second hour, they will be joining us live in studio. And as I 50 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,440 mentioned, of course, Friday is my favorite day of the week here at 51 00:16:04,639 --> 00:16:08,639 WMNH. It's the day that I do double duty. Of course, I 52 00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:11,120 do this show. I'm here with you until six pm, and then I'm 53 00:16:11,159 --> 00:16:15,519 back tonight from eight to eleven PM for retro Spectrum Radio with Paul E. 54 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,159 C. And I've the honor and privilege of being one of Paul's co hosts 55 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,320 on that show, along with our friends DJ Steve and of course Mike from 56 00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:29,080 Queen City Cabinetry. So we have a great time. We had a really 57 00:16:29,159 --> 00:16:32,840 great time last Friday night. That was probably that might have been the most 58 00:16:32,919 --> 00:16:40,200 fun I've ever had on Retrospectrum Radio last Friday night. And tonight's theme is 59 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,960 a continuation of that. It's going to be songs that actually Let me look 60 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,639 at Paul's post so I can make sure I get it exactly right. Here's 61 00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:52,279 what Paul put up. Retrospectrum Radio starts at eight pm Eastern tonight. We 62 00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:57,759 continue with famous songs that were plagiarized by your favorite bands, We'll also be 63 00:16:57,879 --> 00:17:04,359 joined in studio by the loving Cuddy Scott Reinert. Scott's musical knowledge will be 64 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:10,400 put to the test when he competes with Matt and DJ Steve in Name That 65 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:14,599 nine at nine.

Maybe sometime if you do a movie review of nineteen eighty eight Jack's 116 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:56,400 Back, starring James Spader and Cynthia Gibb. I'm sure that's already on his 117 00:20:56,559 --> 00:21:02,920 list. Isaac Banks don't know if I've ever even heard of that movie Jack's 118 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,680 Back. I mean, I'm familiar with Cynthia Gibbon, James Spader a fantastic 119 00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:11,400 actor. I love James Spader, But I don't know that movie Jack's Back. 120 00:21:12,079 --> 00:21:15,960 But it was nineteen eighty eight, so it would fall within the parameters 121 00:21:15,039 --> 00:21:23,599 of what Eric considers a classic. I suppose. Melanie says, uh, 122 00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:26,880 what, I didn't know it was your favorite gay of the week, Matt 123 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,640 No Day Day. I mean, I am, of course, uh An 124 00:21:30,759 --> 00:21:34,400 LGBTQ plus ally, but no, I said favorite day of the week unless 125 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:41,319 Freudian slip there, who knows. Uh, let's see, Melanie said, 126 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,559 I'm not sure who your favorite gay is, but I have to say I 127 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:56,880 am a little curious now who would be? Actually, let's see, I'm 128 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,799 trying to think, is there a particular is there a particular gay person I'm 129 00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:03,039 particularly fond of. I mean, I have gay friends whom I love, 130 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,160 but I was I'm assuming you're maybe a gay celebrity that I'm trying to think 131 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:15,279 of somebody who really who really stands out. I can't think of anybody. 132 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:19,839 I remember when I was a kid, I liked MERV Griffin's talk show. 133 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,640 I don't know if he was out yet at that point. Let's see. 134 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:34,079 Police joins us in the Facebook live chat. He's got the captioning on apparently, 135 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:41,839 he says, Facebook interprets your words as Endo Pine. When I say 136 00:22:41,039 --> 00:22:45,079 endo Pine in the Facebook live chat, Endo pine cool name for a band. 137 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,960 That would be a cool name for a band, Endo pine Pine, 138 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,720 of course, being a type of wood. I'm thinking something sort of Americana 139 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:59,119 or a jam band from Vermont. Melanie says, I very much appreciate how 140 00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:03,359 how much thought you gave, how much thought you are giving to Who is 141 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,720 my favorite gay I'm trying to think, is there is there someone in particular, 142 00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:11,759 a gay celebrity who whom I really like? Oh? I do so. 143 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,119 I've never paid much attention to him outside of this, but when Howard 144 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,119 Stern, whenever he has Andy Cohen on the show, I do enjoy that. 145 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,480 I like Andy Cohen, I like the rapport that he and Howard have. 146 00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:26,839 So there you go. I guess it's Andy Cohen. He's my favorite 147 00:23:26,839 --> 00:23:30,920 gay person. How's that? Until I think of somebody else? Six zo 148 00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:36,240 three two five six zero seven six zero three two five six zero seven. 149 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,400 Oh, I've got one rob rob Halford from Judas Priest. There you go, 150 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,039 you got another thing coming one of my favorite songs. Yes, actually, 151 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,680 I'm going to change my answer. I'm going to make him. He's 152 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:53,119 he's the one, He's my favorite. Let's see, we should talk about 153 00:23:53,200 --> 00:24:00,720 this. There is news on a subject that is near and dear to my 154 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:06,680 heart. Listen to this. Everybody, listen to this because for those of 155 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,720 you who don't know, and obviously if you are local to the area, 156 00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:14,279 I'm sure you know but if you're one of our fine listeners from across the 157 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:15,720 nation and around the globe, as I like to say, you might not 158 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,559 know this, but here in New Hampshire we take great pride in the first 159 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:26,880 in the nation primary. We love being the first in the nation primary here 160 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,759 in the state of New Hampshire for the presidential primaries and caucuses and so forth. 161 00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:33,400 Iowa, of course, our friend from Eric Pilcher, he's in Iowa. 162 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,000 They have the first in the nation caucus. But we have the first 163 00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:38,640 in the nation primary, and we have for as long as I've been alive 164 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:44,160 at least, And so this is very important to me, and I'm very 165 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:49,359 selfish about it. And you know, it's the one time. It's the 166 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,240 one time every four years where the rest of the country sort of looks in 167 00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:57,119 our direction and says, oh, yeah, New Hampshire, that's a place, 168 00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:00,519 you know. So it's important we take a lot of pride in it. 169 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,880 Here. I take a lot of pride in it. And to paraphrase 170 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,200 Charlton Heston, as he once said in a speech in front of the NRA, 171 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,920 You'll have to pride the New Hampshire primary from my cold dead hands. 172 00:25:17,559 --> 00:25:19,559 That's how much. It matters to me. I wouldn't literally die for it, 173 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,000 but you know, I mean as far as things I would actually be 174 00:25:23,079 --> 00:25:27,759 willing to die for. It's a shortlist, but I'm just saying it matters 175 00:25:27,759 --> 00:25:33,160 to me quite a bit. And we've talked about this on the show over 176 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,960 the past. I don't know how long this has been going on, six 177 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:42,279 eight months, maybe this issue of the DNC, the Democratic National Committee, 178 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:48,079 for the first time again at least since I've been alive. They want to 179 00:25:48,279 --> 00:25:52,440 move, They want to take away our first in the Nations status, and 180 00:25:52,519 --> 00:25:56,319 they want to make South Carolina the first in the nation primary. And apparently 181 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:03,119 President Joseph Robinette by In is very much in favor of this, probably because 182 00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:07,519 if you remember in twenty twenty, uh he came in like fourth or fifth 183 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,720 or something in New Hampshire. Then he went on to win South Carolina. 184 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,839 But uh no, this this matters to me, Jenny says in the chat 185 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,480 room. We have been the first in the nation for over one hundred years, 186 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:26,359 not changing the laws to suit the Democratic Party. Yeah, and then 187 00:26:26,559 --> 00:26:30,480 there's a word there. I don't think I can say, but uh usually 188 00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:36,279 Melanie's the one doing that. Jenny very good, but she said tough something 189 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,960 something else that starts with tea h But I am not interested in giving into 190 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:47,319 the DNC's demands. Well, listen to this. Listen to this. It 191 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,279 says here. This is from the Hill dot com. This actually was reported 192 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,000 yesterday afternoon, but we didn't We didn't get to it. We had a 193 00:26:53,039 --> 00:26:56,920 wonderful guest yesterday. Mike Laughlin was here with us in studio for the for 194 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:02,519 the full two hours old and Mike Laughlin very very talented musician and just an 195 00:27:02,559 --> 00:27:07,720 incredible person. So so we didn't get to any of this. But listen 196 00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:15,039 to this. DNC gives New Hampshire Democrats extension to comply with primary calendar. 197 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,480 See they've already changed the calendar. Oh this is nice. Though, this 198 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,319 is nice everybody. How generous of them. They're giving us an extra month 199 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:30,119 to comply with the calendar. Oh, how generous. It says here. 200 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,839 National Democrats voted to give New Hampshire party officials another extension to finally set a 201 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:45,440 new election day date amid tensions over the state's early voting status. In a 202 00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:49,960 meeting with the Democratic National Committees Rules and by Laws Panel on Thursday, members 203 00:27:51,039 --> 00:27:55,440 voted in favor of pushing the deadline to October fourteen for New Hampshire Democrats to 204 00:27:55,559 --> 00:28:03,559 send in a revised outline for delegates and proposed lot on the calendar. State 205 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,000 party Chairman Ray Buckley said in a statement, quote, we have done everything 206 00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:11,559 in our power to comply with the DNC's requests with regard to our primary calendar, 207 00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:15,640 and have every intention of complying with New Hampshire state law from which the 208 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,200 primary date is set unquote. So if you don't know what that's about, 209 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,839 what he's referring to, so it sounds like Ray Buckley, to his credit, 210 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,720 he's digging in on this, and our Republican Governor Chris Sanunu also and 211 00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:30,200 we'll get to what he had to say about this is newest on this. 212 00:28:30,799 --> 00:28:34,359 But Buckley clearly is digging in because when he refers to New Hampshire law, 213 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:40,039 we have a state law in New Hampshire that says we have to go first, 214 00:28:40,279 --> 00:28:42,319 no matter what, we have to go first. There have been past 215 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:48,559 presidential cycles where another state tried to move up the date on their calendar to 216 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,759 try to get a jump on us. So what did we do, well, 217 00:28:51,799 --> 00:28:53,440 we have this law, so we moved our date up. We can 218 00:28:53,519 --> 00:28:59,799 play that game too. So that's what ray Buckley is referring to New Hampshire 219 00:28:59,799 --> 00:29:03,960 state law says we go first. Now I can understand, I can't understand 220 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,920 from the point of view of the DNC. They're saying, well, wait 221 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,599 a minute, what do we care about New Hampshire state law. That's that's 222 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:14,440 their law. So what we're the ones this is a national process. I 223 00:29:14,519 --> 00:29:18,039 can understand from their point of view, they're looking at us like, oh, 224 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,720 you have you made a law about it? Yeah? So what However, 225 00:29:22,039 --> 00:29:27,640 while I can see that side of the argument, I shan't be caving 226 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,839 to it, because again I'm going to be selfish and say We're going first, 227 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:40,519 no matter what. How dare you think any differently. That's that's my 228 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,759 position on the matter, which is similar to ray Buckley's position. I think, 229 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:48,440 just I'm being a little less eloquent about it. Uh. The DNC 230 00:29:48,559 --> 00:29:52,200 has been working on several changes to the presidential primary this cycle, with New 231 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,000 Hampshire being at the forefront of the debate and occasionally a cause of controversy within 232 00:29:56,079 --> 00:30:02,720 the party that wants to put the procedural question to rest. The unrest started 233 00:30:02,839 --> 00:30:07,519 when the same rules committee voted for South Carolina to go ahead of the Granite 234 00:30:07,599 --> 00:30:12,200 State with support from President Biden and the White House. New Hampshire was bumped 235 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:18,160 down to second place as a result. Intentions escalated when officials blew past a 236 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:25,319 deadline on the first of the month the required members to clearly list a primary 237 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:30,400 date with the names of delegates. Top Democrats, including Buckley, told The 238 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,920 Hill in the lead up to the vote this week that they still see a 239 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:38,799 clear opportunity for Biden to compete well against Republicans on policies where they believe they 240 00:30:38,839 --> 00:30:42,559 have the edge, including abortion, But the primary date discussions, which have 241 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:48,480 played out publicly as Biden seeks a second term in office, are also seen 242 00:30:48,599 --> 00:30:53,680 to many as a distraction beyond the top of the ticket, potentially impacting down 243 00:30:53,759 --> 00:30:56,519 ballot races where they need the full power of the party on their side. 244 00:30:56,839 --> 00:31:03,319 He stressed the Democrats and his state our quote laser focused on winning our upcoming 245 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,440 special elections and the city races this year. We look forward to putting this 246 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:12,880 unnecessary distraction behind us and focusing on electing granted state democrats unquote. So it 247 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:17,359 sounds to me like he's saying, uh, yeah, no, uh, 248 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,359 We've got other more important things to worry about, So go away, leave 249 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,000 us alone. We're going first. That's it. Goodbye. It sounds like 250 00:31:26,119 --> 00:31:33,759 that's what he's saying. I'm paraphrasing. I would just like to say too. 251 00:31:34,599 --> 00:31:41,200 I mean, obviously I have no power or authority over anything, but 252 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,079 I would just like to offer I would offer, like to offer my own 253 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:52,480 response to the DNC on this matter specifically, but I actually can't. I 254 00:31:53,079 --> 00:31:56,599 the particular response that I have in mind, I can't really offer here. 255 00:31:57,359 --> 00:32:00,559 Perhaps I will later on social media. The problem being, uh, you 256 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,839 know, it involves uh, well, this is a radio show, so 257 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,240 it's not visual. I mean, there is a visual component if you're watching 258 00:32:08,319 --> 00:32:13,039 online, but it is first and foremost a radio show, and the response 259 00:32:13,119 --> 00:32:16,160 that I have in mind it it's actually visual, So that wouldn't work here 260 00:32:16,279 --> 00:32:22,359 necessarily. It involves it involves one of my hands. Doesn't matter which one 261 00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:27,559 left or right hand, you know, pick one, doesn't matter which hand, 262 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:31,160 but it does matter which finger. Either hand is fine, but a 263 00:32:31,319 --> 00:32:37,480 very specific finger would be a part of the particular message that I'd like to 264 00:32:37,519 --> 00:32:42,160 send them on this particular issue. So and and and that matters because, 265 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,000 uh, you know, different fingers convey very different messages. For example, 266 00:32:46,079 --> 00:32:50,759 a thumb would be a thumbs up, you know, a pinky might be 267 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,359 you know, I'm promising something pinky swear or whatever. No, I have 268 00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,319 I have something else in mind, so I can't really Again, but it's 269 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,400 radio, it's theater of the mind. So and if you are watching, 270 00:33:01,599 --> 00:33:05,920 you know, online or on cable, you know, I don't think management 271 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,640 here really wants me doing that, really wants me to be doing that anyway, 272 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,799 So I'll just I'll leave it to your imagination. But I do have 273 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,319 I do have a you know, a response to the to the DNC on 274 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:22,720 this uh. And no, it doesn't involve my index finger. Like I'm 275 00:33:22,759 --> 00:33:24,599 not gonna, you know, tell anybody you know you're you're number one or 276 00:33:24,599 --> 00:33:28,480 I'm number one or anything like that. I don't even know what the finger 277 00:33:28,599 --> 00:33:30,000 is called between the middle and the pinky. Anyway, it doesn't matter. 278 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,880 But uh, yeah, I have some uh, I have some ideas, 279 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,440 uh for for the DNC and what they can do on this stup particular matter. 280 00:33:39,759 --> 00:33:45,160 Now let's look at because the other part of this that I've been kind 281 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:53,839 of uh just flunixed by is uh. Even if the DNC, the Democratic 282 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:59,039 National Committee, says you have to move the date of your primary, it 283 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:04,319 seems to me it's not only up to the DNC to say that and then 284 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:12,960 the state Democratic Party here in New Hampshire to comply or not comply. What 285 00:34:13,079 --> 00:34:16,840 about the Republicans? They have a primary? Are we going to have separate 286 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:21,639 primaries? Are we are we gonna? Are we gonna actually change the date 287 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,800 of the New Hampshire primary but still have a Republican like have the Republican primary 288 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,320 be first in the nation but have the Democratic primary at a later date. 289 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,000 That wouldn't make any sense. Are there any states to do that? Maybe 290 00:34:31,039 --> 00:34:34,599 there are, and I just don't realize it, But I don't think there 291 00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:37,920 are. I think everybody has their primary. You know, you do it 292 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:45,199 all. It'd be logistically and I would imagine financially pretty challenging to have two 293 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:51,440 completely separate primaries on two separate days. Right, So don't you also need 294 00:34:51,559 --> 00:34:53,119 if you're going to do this, if you're going to actually move the date 295 00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:58,079 of the primary, don't you also need the other party's cooperation in doing that? 296 00:34:58,639 --> 00:35:02,599 Well? Our Republican Governor Kris Sinunu. To his credit, he hasn't 297 00:35:02,679 --> 00:35:07,079 blanked on this. He also uh, he and Ray Buckley seem to be 298 00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:12,480 an agreement on something. Sono News a moderate Republican. So actually this is 299 00:35:12,519 --> 00:35:15,880 probably a few things. But anyway, Snow has not budged on this. 300 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:22,639 Now. This is from This is from the Washington Examiner. This also went 301 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:28,000 up yesterday afternoon. Sun who claims New Hampshire will hold first primary. Quote 302 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,920 whether Joe Biden likes it or not. I like this, I like this, 303 00:35:31,639 --> 00:35:36,280 says here. Governor Chris unw targeted President Joe Biden and the social media 304 00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,239 post on Thursday, saying his state will hold the first presidential primary regardless of 305 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:45,679 whether the president likes it. The Democratic National Committee extended the deadline for New 306 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,079 Hampshire to comply. Okay, we know that we covered that already. All 307 00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:52,679 right, skipping down. This is what Snow said on social media. Quote, 308 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:58,760 New Hampshire will not comply with the arbitrary demands and deadlines coming from Joe 309 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,639 Biden in the DNC. We will not back down. New Hampshire will be 310 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:08,239 going first, whether Joe Biden likes it or not. Unquote excellent, excellent. 311 00:36:09,159 --> 00:36:14,880 The DNC Rules and by Laws Committee, which unanimously approved the extension, 312 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,960 said New Hampshire needed to overhaul its voting laws to secure the second primary date. 313 00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:23,639 As New Hampshire law states, the Republican and Democratic primaries must be held 314 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:29,280 on the same date. Okay, and the state must be first. That 315 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:30,719 I didn't realize, by the way, I didn't realize that that was part 316 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:35,519 of the law, the law that says we go first. Apparently, according 317 00:36:35,559 --> 00:36:38,880 to this it's also part of the law that says you cannot split the primary. 318 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,599 It has to be on the same date Republicans and Democrats. It has 319 00:36:43,679 --> 00:36:45,320 to be on the same date, according to the law, according to this 320 00:36:45,519 --> 00:36:51,679 article. It says here. Otherwise the grantited state could see the nomination Convention 321 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,159 decline to recognize its delegates in the voting process. According to the Boston Globe, 322 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:59,159 by the way, that's an empty threat. Who cares? So? 323 00:37:00,119 --> 00:37:02,119 I remember? I think I seeven. Remember we talked about this specifically on 324 00:37:02,159 --> 00:37:06,920 the show before, to this aspect of it. If we don't comply, 325 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:14,679 they might refuse at the Democratic National Convention to seat our Democratic delegates. What's 326 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:19,440 it matter? So what? None of that, Matt, It's all it 327 00:37:20,199 --> 00:37:24,519 doesn't matter. Joe Biden, he is the incumbent Democrat. He is going 328 00:37:24,679 --> 00:37:29,559 to be the nominee. Of course. Actually, I mean we know who 329 00:37:29,599 --> 00:37:31,039 both nominees are going to be. It's also Trump is going to be. 330 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:37,039 Trump is in a sense the incumbent on the Republican side because he was the 331 00:37:37,119 --> 00:37:40,559 last Republican to hold the presidency. So basically you've got two incumbents. They're 332 00:37:40,599 --> 00:37:44,920 going to be the nominees. We know that. So you know, if 333 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,840 the DNC wants to play hardball and say, well, if you don't comply, 334 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,239 we're not going to seat your delegates, fine, don't What does it 335 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:58,039 matter, It doesn't matter, it's not gonna affect anything. You don't need 336 00:37:58,199 --> 00:38:02,480 the does Joe Biden need? However many delegates we have here, is that 337 00:38:02,559 --> 00:38:07,360 really going to be necessary because you the DNC don't seem to think that New 338 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:12,599 Hampshire is important enough for us to continue to go first. So if you 339 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:19,320 have so little regard for our wonderful state, then maybe you don't need our 340 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:24,559 delegates to be there. So whatever, and I would even add what you 341 00:38:24,639 --> 00:38:28,480 can do with your delegates, But again that goes back to the hand thing, 342 00:38:29,079 --> 00:38:34,480 and we've moved on. So it says here, if the state files 343 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:40,159 I'm sorry, if the state fails to comply with the party's demands, the 344 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:47,519 president could also be left off the ballot. Well, then you let's a 345 00:38:47,599 --> 00:38:51,880 bit self defeating, isn't it. New Hampshire. So, in other words, 346 00:38:52,039 --> 00:38:55,760 so is President Biden then by saying, by doing this because this is 347 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,880 all his doing and we know why. Again, you go back to twenty 348 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,400 twenty. He did horribly in New Hampshire. He owes his entire presidency to 349 00:39:04,519 --> 00:39:09,800 Congressman James Clyburne of South Carolina for endorsing him. That's what put him back 350 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:13,840 in the race and propelled him to the presidency. Had all turned on South 351 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,760 Carolina. He did horrible here and in Iowa it all turned on South Carolina. 352 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,280 So again, so he might not be a So you're gonna leave him 353 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:29,960 off the ballot here in the primary because we didn't comply. Again, what's 354 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,960 it matter? It doesn't matter. Fine, leave him off the ballot here 355 00:39:34,199 --> 00:39:37,719 and we'll let we'll let marry it. Maybe Mary Ann Williamson, we'll walk 356 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,480 out of New Hampshire with maybe maybe she'll actually win the New Hampshire primary. 357 00:39:40,519 --> 00:39:43,800 That'd be kind of cool. She was a guest on the show, so 358 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:49,199 I'm partial to her. I certainly don't agree with her on everything, and 359 00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,880 she's definitely to my left. But you know, she did come, and 360 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,360 you know, I haven't seen President Joe Biden on my show, if you 361 00:39:54,760 --> 00:40:00,519 know, by Mary Ann Williamson, she came and talked to us. Ah, 362 00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:07,400 let's see. So the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee co chairman James Roosevelt 363 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,599 told Fox News, quote, we committed at the outset of this process to 364 00:40:10,679 --> 00:40:16,400 allow for every opportunity for states to honor the opportunity of hosting there. Okay, 365 00:40:16,639 --> 00:40:21,159 wait, I have to stop there. Dude. You don't use the 366 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:25,119 word opportunity twice in the same sentence. That is so obnoxious to me. 367 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:30,400 I don't like redundancy. I don't like repetition. I don't like monotony. 368 00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:36,360 I don't like somebody using the same words over and over. It really bothers 369 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,440 me. It upsets me, It ruffles my feathers, it gets under my 370 00:40:39,559 --> 00:40:46,920 skin. I try never to do that. I endeavor to avoid doing that. 371 00:40:47,519 --> 00:40:53,159 I make a strong effort to avoid doing that myself. Oh, Jenny 372 00:40:53,199 --> 00:40:57,039 said in the chatroom reasons why Matt makes a good editor. Thank you, 373 00:40:57,199 --> 00:41:01,320 thank you. Anyway, Well, I hate this sentence, but I'll read 374 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:07,719 his full quote makes my skin crawl. Seeing the word opportunity pop up twice. 375 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,320 It's not even like it's used at the beginning of the sentence and then 376 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:15,239 again at the end of the sentence. It's like both opportunities are toward the 377 00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:22,760 middle of the sentence. Anyway, I'm sure he's a wonderful person, and 378 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:27,559 I'm just that type of thing annoys me. Okay. Quote, we committed 379 00:41:27,559 --> 00:41:30,400 at the outset of this process to allow for every opportunity for states to honor 380 00:41:30,519 --> 00:41:37,239 the opportunity of hosting their nominating contests within the early window. We want to 381 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,639 recommit to that principle and continue to work with the New Hampshire Democratic Party towards 382 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:46,639 that goal and that opportunity. Okay, I added that last opportunity. I 383 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:52,840 was just being a does this being a wise? A wise? But Eric 384 00:41:52,880 --> 00:42:00,599 Pilter in the chapram says the Bureau of Redundancy Bureau. Yes, yes, 385 00:42:01,039 --> 00:42:07,800 I don't like redundancies. Okay, the extension. There's just a little bit 386 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,599 more here, and then we're gonna get to Eric's review. The extension will 387 00:42:10,639 --> 00:42:15,599 last until October fourteen, twenty twenty three. State law grants New Hampshire Secretary 388 00:42:15,679 --> 00:42:22,280 of State Dave Scanlan a Republican sole authority to schedule the primary, which he 389 00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:25,920 has not done. On Wednesday, he announced that candidates. Candidates can sign 390 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:30,440 up between October eleven and October twenty seven. The committee has made similar demands 391 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:36,760 of Iowa. Oh I didn't realize this. You hear this, Eric ericson 392 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,519 Iowa. The Committee has made similar demands of Iowa, which holds the caucuses 393 00:42:40,599 --> 00:42:45,440 before any other before any state's primary, but Iowa has also not reached an 394 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:50,320 agreement with the d n C. Good Stand firm. Iowa, fight the 395 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:57,400 power. You gotta fight the power, Fight the power that be. Miriam 396 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,840 Bannish joins us in the Facebook laugh chet Hello Miriam, all right, op, 397 00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,679 And I see Chris from the band Edgewise also in the chat room. 398 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:12,519 Hello Chris. Eric says, take our caucus please. It is a caucus, 399 00:43:12,639 --> 00:43:15,519 so you're probably not as protective of it as we are of our first 400 00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:21,840 in the nation primary, which I'm willing to fight for we established earlier. 401 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:23,360 I'm not willing to die for it, but I am willing to fight for 402 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,599 it. And when I say fight, I don't mean violently. I don't 403 00:43:27,639 --> 00:43:31,800 wish to engage in fisticuffs. I just mean that, you know I'm willing 404 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:36,159 to. I don't know. There's not really much I can do about it. 405 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:37,519 Actually I don't. I don't have any power. I'm just a talk 406 00:43:37,559 --> 00:43:44,880 shows. But I suggest we all rise up. Maybe if this doesn't go 407 00:43:45,119 --> 00:43:49,920 our way, we can pick a date and go and storm the DNC headquarters. 408 00:43:52,119 --> 00:43:57,800 No, never mind, that's not a good idea. Eric says, 409 00:43:58,119 --> 00:44:02,719 there are Tijuana donkey shows more organized than our Iowa caucuses. Yeah. If 410 00:44:04,039 --> 00:44:06,440 if you're a long time listener, you might have heard this. But Eric 411 00:44:06,519 --> 00:44:08,960 and I have had more than one conversation where on the show, where he 412 00:44:09,079 --> 00:44:14,960 has tried to explain to me, very patiently, how the Iowa caucuses actually 413 00:44:15,079 --> 00:44:19,599 work, how a caucus works, because it's very confusing to me. I 414 00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,719 do have to say he wasn't necessarily successful. I still am baffled by it. 415 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:29,159 It does sound very confusing. You know, a primary is easy. 416 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:30,559 You go and you vote, and that's it. You just you go and 417 00:44:30,639 --> 00:44:34,199 you vote, you vote, and you're done. You get the little I 418 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:39,760 voted sticker. If you if you happen to be are as you're walking out 419 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:45,159 of the after voting. You know, if you happen to see a box 420 00:44:45,199 --> 00:44:47,119 of donuts, you know they're probably for the staff working, But you can 421 00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,360 pretend you don't realize that and just grab one. No one's gonna say anything, 422 00:44:51,639 --> 00:44:55,480 at least once you know your fingers are on it. You know it's 423 00:44:55,559 --> 00:45:00,840 fun. But Caucus, it just sounds very confusing. All right, let's 424 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:06,639 do this. We're going to go to Eric Pilcher's Classic film review and then 425 00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,360 we're going to show some love to our amazing sponsors, and then coming up 426 00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:15,159 in the second hour, Newmerodos the band Ableblood will be joining us live in 427 00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:21,039 studio. They are our musical guests today. Their brand new album Arrival of 428 00:45:21,159 --> 00:45:24,400 the Waves just came out today. And really looking forward to beating those guys 429 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,880 and talking with them. So we've got a fun show today. But without 430 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,679 further ado, this is Eric Pilcher's Classic film review. The subject this week 431 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:37,159 is the nineteen eighty one George A. Romero film Night Riders. Check it 432 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:59,440 out. Once courageous Knights roam the land searching for adventure, Ready to brave 433 00:45:59,559 --> 00:46:06,480 and each challenge. Night Riders. The Knight is a fighting machine, disciplined 434 00:46:06,559 --> 00:46:15,320 in mind, at heart and lobo to the death. Night Riders, Action, 435 00:46:17,599 --> 00:46:34,800 adventure, romance, heraldry, pageantry and magic that he got to do 436 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:40,280 with the Soul Man and the sould God Destiny. Night Riders, they ride 437 00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:45,639 for the Crown, They fight for honor. That kid thinks an evil knevil. 438 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,519 That kid thinks you're William the Night, you're his hero. I'm not 439 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:54,360 trying to be a hero. I'm fighting the dragon, following a dream as 440 00:46:54,440 --> 00:47:00,559 far as it would take them, because a legend lives as long as someone 441 00:47:00,679 --> 00:47:04,920 believes. This isn't just a roadside carny anymore. Not for some of us. 442 00:47:05,159 --> 00:47:07,800 It's a lot more than that. It's a whole lot more. You 443 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,159 know that, Morgan, You guys, it's most fun I got in my 444 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:13,039 lifeline. Just don't see all break up. You think it's breaking up. 445 00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,039 It's money billing. It's all to do with money. Money makes the world 446 00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:23,119 go around, even your work. Small town jails is uncomfortable places damn uncomfortable. 447 00:47:25,599 --> 00:47:30,880 Throw down the gauntlet, take up the challenge. A new age begins. 448 00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:52,920 Romance and adventure, Live Knight writers, the legend is born. Renaissance 449 00:47:52,079 --> 00:47:58,800 fairs have long been a part of American culture. It attracts millions of people 450 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:04,840 every year across the nation. In many feel it is one of the inspirations 451 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:12,119 for comic book conventions and cosplay for this week's Romero film, The fair is 452 00:48:12,199 --> 00:48:20,199 seen as an allegory for the ultimate divisiveness of society and what truly makes Romero 453 00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:25,719 one of the greatest filmmakers. Night Riders, which was released in nineteen eighty 454 00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:34,320 one, introduces us to a traveling troupe whose participants joust on motorcycles in battles 455 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:38,760 to determine the king of the group. The group has two differing views. 456 00:48:39,119 --> 00:48:44,320 That of the leader, King William, who this is his life. To 457 00:48:44,519 --> 00:48:47,639 him, there is no other way to live. Then there is Sir Morgan, 458 00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:54,519 the chief rival of King William, played by longtime Romero collaborator and horror 459 00:48:54,719 --> 00:49:00,599 special effects guru Tom Savini in the battle, who looks at the troop as 460 00:49:00,639 --> 00:49:07,920 a business in entertainment and wants to see the group becomes something bigger to generate 461 00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:12,840 more money. This film goes against the pale of films that George A. 462 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:17,119 Romero is known for horror. I feel it is best to start this review 463 00:49:17,559 --> 00:49:22,679 with an explanation from the man of honor this month himself. In our first 464 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:29,840 two clips, Romero explains how Night Riders came to be, and then his 465 00:49:30,039 --> 00:49:34,320 thoughts on the film and how he felt his fans would respond to it. 466 00:49:35,679 --> 00:49:42,760 Sadly, Romero has often had an unfathomable self depreciating view of his work, 467 00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:49,239 and it comes out in our second clip. It was funny. I had 468 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:53,719 written a script about basically the same story, but I had them on horseback. 469 00:49:53,840 --> 00:50:00,599 I modeled it after there was a group called Society for a Creative Anachronism 470 00:50:00,639 --> 00:50:06,760 that stages these jousts, and I was pitching it around and it was actually 471 00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,480 sam Arkoff. We pitched it to sam Arkoff and he said, hey, 472 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:17,199 I'll tell you what they put the guys on motorcycles. Then maybe I'm interested 473 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:24,599 in typical sam Arkoff's style. And I just I fumed over that, you 474 00:50:24,679 --> 00:50:31,400 know, for months, and then finally I had the script basically and I 475 00:50:31,599 --> 00:50:37,599 finally came around to saying, you know, maybe that's not so crazy, 476 00:50:37,559 --> 00:50:43,559 and it would modernize it and bring it up to date, and so I 477 00:50:43,679 --> 00:50:46,960 decided to go with it. And all I basically did was rewrite the script 478 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:52,559 and Sawahassan, and he gave us a three picture deal, but he said 479 00:50:52,639 --> 00:51:00,679 one of them must be sequel to Dawn and so fab So we wound up 480 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:05,079 under that deal doing night Rider's Creep Show and Day of the Dead. And 481 00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:12,159 I never had so much freedom that ever in my life, my career. 482 00:51:12,599 --> 00:51:17,199 Whenever, I mean, Salid basically let us make the movies. I really 483 00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:21,679 felt when I was making the film that it was important. It was important 484 00:51:21,679 --> 00:51:28,440 to me. That meant that I put my best into it, and so 485 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,960 I just I know that I was sort of at my best when I was 486 00:51:32,079 --> 00:51:38,719 on that set. In Now, how were Meryl felt his fans would react 487 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:45,199 to this change? No, I have forever in my career tried to look 488 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:50,159 for something new that I could do. I've always wanted to make Tarzan of 489 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,760 the Apes, I mean, you know, and yet I'm stuck in this 490 00:51:52,880 --> 00:52:00,000 sort of niche with horror. I don't know that anyone who is a fan 491 00:52:00,199 --> 00:52:07,880 of my horror work, my zombie films is going to look at night Writers 492 00:52:07,639 --> 00:52:14,159 and get much out of it. Only I think people that are either personally 493 00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:20,719 interested in me or in interested in what makes me tick. Maybe, But 494 00:52:20,840 --> 00:52:27,239 I think basically fans today audiences will react. General audience will react pretty much 495 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:34,679 the way they did back then, which is not respond very positively. I 496 00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:40,719 feel, and many film critics agree, that William, who is played by 497 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:46,719 Ed Harris in this film, is in a way a characterization of Romero, 498 00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:52,440 a man that has a vision, in a way he chooses to live his 499 00:52:52,639 --> 00:52:59,519 life and do things. Romero, for most of his career had that same 500 00:52:59,599 --> 00:53:04,679 me though, that his films would be done his way, and if it 501 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:09,679 meant not having major studio support or big budgets, then so be it. 502 00:53:12,559 --> 00:53:17,880 That is evident in our next clip, over a campfire, William is speaking 503 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:24,159 with Steve, the troop's legal representative. Why I chose this scene is I 504 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:31,440 want you to hear William's dismissiveness over getting TV executives involved. And then at 505 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:37,480 the end, one of William's loyal members makes a case for him to consider 506 00:53:38,159 --> 00:53:44,159 taking the deal that wants to handle us. What do you mean he wants 507 00:53:44,159 --> 00:53:47,039 to handle us? I thought, that's what you did. Yeah, I 508 00:53:47,079 --> 00:53:51,559 can get you in the alarms, I get you in the brower you but 509 00:53:51,679 --> 00:53:54,239 I don't know the big circuit I'd still be with you for legal and all 510 00:53:54,360 --> 00:54:00,400 the big circuit. You're gonna pull fifteen k out of Brower. You could 511 00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,559 pull thirty or forty out of some of these big county affairs. Hell, 512 00:54:02,639 --> 00:54:06,920 Billy, I can't even get those folks on the telephone. They book acts 513 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,719 from guys like this guy that they've been dealing with all along. We're not 514 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:15,079 an act. Well, neither's bull rope. And you know what I mean. 515 00:54:16,119 --> 00:54:19,199 You do three or four of these big gigs of summer, you can 516 00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:21,920 do whatever the hell you want it for the rest of the year. Tell 517 00:54:22,039 --> 00:54:24,880 this guy's talking about setting up with all fancy new costumes. He's even talking 518 00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:29,199 about setting up some deal with some cycle manufact I'm surprised you even brought this 519 00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,519 guy around, Steve. Well, damna here, I'm just trying to help 520 00:54:32,559 --> 00:54:38,079 you along. You guys, is most fun I get in my life. 521 00:54:38,079 --> 00:54:45,599 I just don't see you all break up. Damn it, Billy, y'all 522 00:54:45,679 --> 00:54:50,159 Stone broke most of the time. And then you're taking every damn long hair 523 00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,360 that knows how to make a pair of sandals, and you want to pick 524 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,599 up the Blue Cross tab. Do you have the slightest idea with gas is 525 00:54:55,679 --> 00:55:00,320 selling for or two by fors or Hamburger or anything else. Do you think 526 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:07,760 it's breaking up. It's money building. It's all we do with money. 527 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:14,000 Money makes the world go around. And even your word, you know, 528 00:55:15,199 --> 00:55:19,880 it's just getting too tough. It's tough lived by the code. I mean, 529 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:25,679 it's real hard to live for something that you believe in. People try 530 00:55:25,679 --> 00:55:29,639 it and then they get tired of it, like they get tired of their 531 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:39,280 diets or exercise, or their marriage, when their kids, when their job 532 00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:49,239 with themselves, when they get tired of their God. You can keep the 533 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,840 money you make up the sick world, or I don't want any part of 534 00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,760 it. Anybody wants to live more for themselves. It doesn't belong with us. 535 00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,599 Let me go out and buy some pimpy psychiatrists favorite back says, it's 536 00:55:59,639 --> 00:56:08,800 okay. Don't ask me to say it's okay. It's not okay. Once 537 00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:13,639 I was in a jail in Alabama and I got my ass kicked just like 538 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,280 I did last night, only even it was because I was in there. 539 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:24,119 Well, I woke up in the morning and I didn't even have an energy 540 00:56:24,199 --> 00:56:30,760 enough to lick my wounds. I found out i'd given up. So I 541 00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:37,760 tried to kill myself, tried to cut my wrist with the best spring. 542 00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:45,840 See, I found out so like giving up on it all because of where 543 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,440 I was, what was all around me. Well, last night I get 544 00:56:49,519 --> 00:56:55,559 my ass kicked. I came up laughing because now I'm in Camelot. Good. 545 00:56:57,280 --> 00:56:59,760 See the way I see it is this, you got two separate. 546 00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:05,000 The one for truth and justice and the American way of life and all that 547 00:57:05,519 --> 00:57:07,039 that's going to take a back seat to the one for stay and alive. 548 00:57:07,119 --> 00:57:12,639 You've got to stay alive. You can have the most beautiful ideals in the 549 00:57:12,679 --> 00:57:14,880 whole world, and if you die, your ideals are going to die with 550 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:19,719 you. The important thing is we got to stay together. We got to 551 00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,400 keep the truth together. And if keeping the truth going means that we have 552 00:57:22,519 --> 00:57:25,440 to take some of this promoter's money, well then I say let's take it 553 00:57:25,519 --> 00:57:36,679 and get some sleep. As I mentioned in the opening, at the crux 554 00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:44,360 of this film is the conflict between William and Morgan. Many film critics have 555 00:57:44,639 --> 00:57:50,440 analyzed this film and tried to find the metaphor to it. What is the 556 00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:57,719 major conflict or what does the conflict stand for? That is something that Romero 557 00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:01,039 is known for. I feel it is sample. It is the battle between 558 00:58:01,119 --> 00:58:07,840 those that simply want to live their life the way they want without compromise and 559 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:13,679 interference, the side of William, and then the side of making it big, 560 00:58:14,079 --> 00:58:20,000 being successful, wealthy, in quote unquote normal, the side of Morgan. 561 00:58:20,679 --> 00:58:25,280 Our next clip shows this as William and Morgan have a heated argument over 562 00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:31,519 joining with a television executive. Again, at the conclusion of this scene, 563 00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:37,000 I want you to hear the two TV execs joking and salivating at the drama 564 00:58:37,559 --> 00:58:45,400 as this group, or some would say family, splinters in two different directions 565 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:50,280 to get your food and your supplies, and it is right that everybody gets 566 00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,719 the same, and then spending money. All the decisions are made here, 567 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,480 but the merchants, they're like serfs, you know. Only then nice can 568 00:58:55,559 --> 00:59:00,280 make decisions. The King makes the final decisions on the advice of the Knights. 569 00:59:00,519 --> 00:59:04,360 We can all take it a little more cash. We didn't spend so 570 00:59:04,519 --> 00:59:09,559 much on playing Yeah, a lot less on part okay, Billy Davis himself, 571 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:14,800 Hello, Yeah, the gods damn the Knights having cushions. My god, 572 00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,920 he's hurt. I mean, we all understand their big brave MACHOs. 573 00:59:19,159 --> 00:59:22,280 But things are getting out ahead. They don't care what they smash up. 574 00:59:22,559 --> 00:59:25,639 We'd blow five bikes a week. Parts cost a fortune and those lances. 575 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,119 Then they let the town he's ride with the stuff. How you gonna get 576 00:59:29,159 --> 00:59:37,760 all like it got? You think the people think? The people shopping to 577 00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:43,840 buy your god damn jewelry if parts of corn, what't you gonna sund it's 578 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,360 up shopping mall somewhere. I just spend last night in jail, and the 579 00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,800 Man of God has had paid then for nothing. They believed that. If 580 00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:52,840 they don't believe it, they didn't get the hell out of here. My 581 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,320 brother, you don't even know we were talking about. All we were saying 582 00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:59,079 is just like, what is this? What is this a council meeting? 583 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:06,880 Huh? This is a councilman. You can't I have a council meeting without 584 01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:10,480 everybody being here. You cannot I have a card don't meeting without everyone being 585 01:00:10,559 --> 01:00:15,400 here. Oh good, shove you a quick damn councilor eating. Yeah, 586 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:21,199 yeah, that's that's a twenty dollars fine. That is a twenty dollars fine. 587 01:00:21,199 --> 01:00:22,159 You compinnion right now, you can get your ass right out of here. 588 01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:30,400 Oh man, we're already gone. Believe he really were just trying to 589 01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:36,760 get some things together for you. Man, where's money? Well it's not 590 01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:45,639 here. I'm not I'm not here. You know, it's you know, 591 01:00:45,679 --> 01:00:53,800 where's tuck? Where the hell is stuck? This is a picture I'd like 592 01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:59,400 to get my photographer cart with their pants style. Okay, how's inn to 593 01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:05,480 that? At this point, I feel it goes without saying that I'm a 594 01:01:05,599 --> 01:01:10,960 major fan of Romero's work through the years, I haven't been able to explain 595 01:01:12,159 --> 01:01:17,440 exactly why or go into major detail other than I know he makes great films 596 01:01:17,519 --> 01:01:22,559 and such. But what I have learned through my years of watching his films 597 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:30,400 is that it is his independence. He never compromised. That is what I 598 01:01:30,599 --> 01:01:34,960 want from a director. I want someone that, no matter what, they 599 01:01:35,119 --> 01:01:38,000 stick to what they feel as best. To me. That is what makes 600 01:01:38,159 --> 01:01:45,360 his films, as well as those done by John Carpenter, Quentin Tarantino, 601 01:01:45,559 --> 01:01:51,800 and Sergio Leone great, and those are some of my other favorite directors. 602 01:01:52,239 --> 01:01:57,599 It is because their vision is always what is put on film, and anything 603 01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:04,559 less is a compromise they are unwilling to make. Much like King William in 604 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:10,199 that is truly heroic and worthy of the crown. I hope you join me 605 01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:15,159 next week when we continue our month long tribute to George A. Romero, 606 01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:22,519 we will look at one of his genre bending films, the nineteen seventy eight 607 01:02:22,679 --> 01:02:30,039 release Martin for WMNH and Matt Connerton Unleashed.

Really yeah, there'll be a few fans 662 01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,199 out there that never would have even occurred to me. But that's that's brilliant. 663 01:09:46,079 --> 01:09:49,239 That's really cool. I think the most famous band that did it was 664 01:09:50,119 --> 01:09:55,840 I think local h yeah, two piece. That's that's true. Okay, 665 01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,920 I forgot about that. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Wow, that's 666 01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:00,920 cool though. All right. Yeah, well it seems to work huh yeah 667 01:10:01,199 --> 01:10:04,680 definitely. So so in studio what do you what do you just? How 668 01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:08,840 does it work in studio? In studio we had it, we had a 669 01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:10,680 bass play. Yeah, we had a bass player there. Oh okay, 670 01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,960 gotcha, but not like an official member because officially it's just the three of 671 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:15,279 you. Yeah, it's just the three of us here, okay, okay. 672 01:10:16,079 --> 01:10:19,560 And we were kind of talking off air too about I opened with a 673 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:25,159 mental note it's just such an epic song and what is it about? Eleven 674 01:10:25,199 --> 01:10:27,119 and a half minutes? Eleven and a half minutes, But it's so, 675 01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,520 like we were talking off air, it goes by quickly. It doesn't feel 676 01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:33,800 like it's that long, right, And the response in the chat room was 677 01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:38,720 very positive. People were really digging it so so really well, I think, 678 01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:43,279 like like you two guys too, we've I've listened to the album probably 679 01:10:43,359 --> 01:10:47,199 four times today, really yeah, just and I always thought like too long. 680 01:10:47,319 --> 01:10:49,399 But then I'm listening to it, it's like wow, that kind of 681 01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:54,319 yeah, before it's over. Yeah, yeah, because it just it pulls 682 01:10:54,359 --> 01:10:58,760 you in and you get so in tune to it that next thing, you 683 01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:00,039 know, is, oh, the song over, Like, oh my god, 684 01:11:00,039 --> 01:11:02,199 I can't believe it's been twelve minutes, but yeah, eleven and a 685 01:11:02,239 --> 01:11:06,439 half minutes or whatever it is. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, And I 686 01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:11,159 feel like all these songs have kind of an uh, I mean mental note, 687 01:11:11,239 --> 01:11:14,640 probably because it's so long. It's particularly epic was the word I used. 688 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,680 And I think one of you had said that. That was the second 689 01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:20,600 that's someone had said that to us. Yeah. Yeah, but all the 690 01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:25,159 songs, I feel like, have kind of a big sound. What we're 691 01:11:25,239 --> 01:11:28,199 going for. We want to be loud, we want to be like like 692 01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:30,640 our description usually is, we try to be a wall of sound. Yeah, 693 01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:35,479 yeah, that's what we want. It's funny I was talking to yesterday. 694 01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:39,479 We had on a guest Mike Laughlin, who's I don't know if you 695 01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:43,039 guys know, I'm very very talented singer songwriter. He does kind of mostly 696 01:11:43,159 --> 01:11:45,680 displayed by himself acoustic. But we were talking about that how how important it 697 01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:51,039 is especially with a live show to have that wall of sound. I love 698 01:11:51,119 --> 01:11:56,640 being swallowed up in it. Yes, yes, exactly, exactly And this 699 01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,720 just came out today right arrival of the waves of the new albums today. 700 01:12:00,119 --> 01:12:05,840 Yep, where do you guys record this? Woman? Recorded in Jaffrey at 701 01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:10,680 Loudsun Studio. Okay, we did the recording and mixing there with Ben Rogers. 702 01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,680 Guys. Excellent. This is the second time we had recorded an album 703 01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:18,000 with him, and then we had it mastered here in Manchester at black Heart 704 01:12:18,079 --> 01:12:21,760 Sound. Okay, that's Souter, Yes, that's the name. I hear 705 01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:25,720 a lot of these. Tremendous job. Absolutely, yeah. Every everything I've 706 01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:29,399 heard is positive, both in terms of hearing people talking about him and when 707 01:12:29,399 --> 01:12:30,880 I've literally heard on the show. It seems like we've had a bunch of 708 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:35,079 artists on who who've Oh yeah, he's a reputation. I gotta get him 709 01:12:35,119 --> 01:12:39,239 on the show. Yeah yeah, definitely. A couple bands, Yeah, 710 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:44,439 pretty good, Oh, incredible, very talented guitar player. What what bands 711 01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:46,920 is he in? Do you know? Offhand? Magnetarna, Crown Visions, 712 01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:50,039 he does one with his girlfriend and it's it's oh, no kidding, it's 713 01:12:50,760 --> 01:12:55,119 I'm familiar with Magnatar. Yeah, yeah, I gotta yeah, I definitely 714 01:12:55,159 --> 01:12:57,640 have to get him on that. I didn't realize. I didn't realize that 715 01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:02,319 was him in that band. So this, uh so, what what went 716 01:13:02,399 --> 01:13:06,359 into the decision to do I mean, it's yeah, it's it's a it's 717 01:13:06,399 --> 01:13:10,520 an album nine tracks. What went into the decision to do a full album? 718 01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,720 Because obviously we live in an era. I mean, we're all old 719 01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:15,479 enough to remember when it was, you know, either make an album or 720 01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:19,239 maybe an EP. But most bands make albums right back in the day, 721 01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:24,359 and now we live in a time when you can kind of do it. 722 01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:26,600 There's many different ways to do it. You can make an album, you 723 01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,279 can make an EP. You can just release a bunch of singles. Maybe 724 01:13:29,319 --> 01:13:31,239 you release a single once a month and eventually it makes an album. What 725 01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,600 went into the decision to do a full album? I have a reputation of 726 01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:43,239 pooping songs out. Yeah, so we have a bunch. Yeah, And 727 01:13:43,319 --> 01:13:45,560 I knew when you were looking at me that that's what you were thinking too. 728 01:13:45,239 --> 01:13:47,359 Well. I was thinking, can we say poop on the radio? 729 01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:54,000 Ye? Yes you can, yes, yes, poop poop is so yeah, 730 01:13:54,079 --> 01:14:00,359 we had them and and we're pretty tight. We practice, you know, 731 01:14:00,520 --> 01:14:03,720 regularly, so going into the studio, we crack these all out in 732 01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:08,920 less than two full days. We're able to get everything recorded. Yeah, 733 01:14:09,159 --> 01:14:11,960 so yeah, we went and prepared, so we were like, let's just 734 01:14:12,039 --> 01:14:14,960 do it. Let's gets to be honest, I'm sure we would would have 735 01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:18,039 been able to decide which songs to put on the albument what's not, so 736 01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:23,359 it worked out very well. Is there also an advantage to doing it? 737 01:14:23,399 --> 01:14:25,840 I mean, obviously, when you're doing it quickly like that, the pressure 738 01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:30,479 is on. But at the same time, I would imagine you you are 739 01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:33,720 able to capture some degree of spontaneity when you're not doing it over and over 740 01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:39,119 again. Yeah, you know, yeah, totally well mental note particularly that's 741 01:14:39,399 --> 01:14:43,800 that song is it's a different song every time we play. We did that 742 01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,399 one take, no kidd one take on I think everything was one take. 743 01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:49,399 Yeah, pretty much about but we took a month off at gigging and just 744 01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:54,840 practiced over and over and over, so, you know, because we're kind 745 01:14:54,880 --> 01:14:58,960 of cheap and we didn't want to waste money in the studio. Yeah, 746 01:15:00,079 --> 01:15:04,079 that's another that's another good reason to get it done quick. I Adam put 747 01:15:04,119 --> 01:15:06,560 it good. We were well prepared to do it. So, yeah, 748 01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:11,239 we went in with a with a with an agenda, and we completed it. 749 01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:14,319 Yeah, and mental notes, you said, mental notes kind of different 750 01:15:14,359 --> 01:15:16,920 every time you play it. Yeah, it's a jam like you jam it, 751 01:15:17,039 --> 01:15:21,960 so it's it's We were nervous to record it only because we wanted to 752 01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:25,920 capture the feeling that we normally have with it, but it's always different. 753 01:15:26,039 --> 01:15:28,159 So we were just like, all right, let's just go in and do 754 01:15:28,239 --> 01:15:30,119 it. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. 755 01:15:30,119 --> 01:15:31,760 And we were just like as soon as we were done. Normally, 756 01:15:32,399 --> 01:15:35,399 I don't know how long we usually play that song for. It's a different 757 01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:40,039 length every time. And we stopped and we asked Ben when we recorded it, 758 01:15:40,399 --> 01:15:42,600 We're like, how long was that one? And he's like eleven and 759 01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,199 a half minutes. We're all jaws all dropped. We're like, yeah, 760 01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:48,600 it was. It was. We thought we were playing for like six or 761 01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:53,520 seven. I thought it was gonna be like seven seventy eight minutes. Yeah, 762 01:15:54,039 --> 01:15:56,920 Oh that's funny. Oh that's cool. And so so you didn't even 763 01:15:57,279 --> 01:15:59,880 have any time in mind. You just kind of just want jam. When 764 01:15:59,920 --> 01:16:00,720 it was done, and when it was done, it was done. Yeah. 765 01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,039 That's cool. Yeah, because that's the only really long one. The 766 01:16:03,119 --> 01:16:06,520 rest of the tracks are all, you know, three four minutes for every 767 01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:11,239 length song. Yeah. Yeah, I mean our first EP had a had 768 01:16:11,279 --> 01:16:14,600 a nine and nine and a half minute song Fire on the Hillside. Oh 769 01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,279 really Yeah, So it was kind of I thought it was kind of cool 770 01:16:16,319 --> 01:16:20,119 to come back with this album and do another finale if you if you would, 771 01:16:20,399 --> 01:16:25,000 yeah, yeah. Has the sound Did the sound change at all between 772 01:16:25,039 --> 01:16:28,760 albums? I think progress at Yeah, we got a lot more psychedelic. 773 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:32,000 We kept the heavy, but the heavy fields heavier. That's good. Yeah, 774 01:16:32,159 --> 01:16:35,640 yeah, very cool. We've got able Blood here with us in studio. 775 01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:38,760 If you have any questions or anything at all for the band, the 776 01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:43,000 studio line is open six zero three two five zero six zero seven six zero 777 01:16:43,079 --> 01:16:45,680 three two five zero six zero seven.

Indeed, I didn't know that. 791 01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:35,600 I didn't know that's where the term came from. Yeah, very cool. 792 01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:39,000 Uh, speaking of where things come from, where does the name come 793 01:17:39,079 --> 01:17:44,119 from? Able Blood? H So we're Jimmy and I grew up in the 794 01:17:44,159 --> 01:17:51,680 Brookline Hollis area and there's a cemetery on the Nashua and Holliess Line Pineal Cemetery 795 01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:59,159 and it's famous for having being probably the most haunted cemetery in New Hampshire. 796 01:17:59,399 --> 01:18:02,319 Okay, and haunted by the spirit of able Blood. Okay. Yeah, 797 01:18:02,359 --> 01:18:06,119 there was actually a finger on his gravestone, and when kids would go there 798 01:18:06,159 --> 01:18:10,760 at night, the finger would be pointing up during the day and at night. 799 01:18:11,079 --> 01:18:13,399 A lot of people would say that the finger would be pointing down towards 800 01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:15,039 the ground. If you go online and look it up, there's a whole 801 01:18:15,399 --> 01:18:20,119 Oh yeah, Fits Weatherby did a story on him. Yeah yeah, do 802 01:18:20,159 --> 01:18:24,760 you ever go there? Yeah, yeah, you've you've a well. Thirty 803 01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:27,199 years ago, Jimmy and I were in a band together and we used to 804 01:18:27,359 --> 01:18:30,920 jam on the property that bordered the cemetery, no kidding. Yeah, do 805 01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:38,640 you ever see anything or hear anything or cool? Yeah? Yeah, And 806 01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:42,720 you know, the headstone's been vandalized and yeah, I think they've actually taken 807 01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:45,479 the headstone out. Oh yeah, I think it's that. It's at the 808 01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:48,560 Holest police Department. I believe that's how the story goes. Oh wow, 809 01:18:49,159 --> 01:18:53,359 interesting, it's an interesting story looking up sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, we 810 01:18:53,359 --> 01:18:56,399 should all get arrested so we can take a picture with the headstone. There 811 01:18:56,439 --> 01:19:00,840 we go. That would be very very rock and roll. That be so 812 01:19:00,199 --> 01:19:04,199 metal. I originally thought before he joined the band that it was a biblical 813 01:19:04,319 --> 01:19:10,359 rafflers too. That's what I vengeance from the Earth. Yeah, this is 814 01:19:10,399 --> 01:19:14,720 just as cool. Yeah Blood was actually a person. Yeah yeah, that 815 01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:18,399 is pretty cool. And what a badass name to have, able Blood. 816 01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:23,119 If if able Blood were alive today, he wouldn't no doubt he'd be proud 817 01:19:23,279 --> 01:19:29,239 be playing and be playing in a metal band. You would have to Yeah, 818 01:19:29,239 --> 01:19:30,600 I don't know. I see him as like a polka kid. Yeah, 819 01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:39,479 ye, perfect play.

Very cool artwork. Yeah, you 823 01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:57,479 were telling me about how the how the artwork came about. Actually, Malcolm 824 01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:00,199 would be much better to explain. Yeah, yeah, how did you uh 825 01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:03,800 how did you come about this? Uh this out this outwork? Artwork? 826 01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:09,960 I do a lot. I started playing with AI art generation Yeah, and 827 01:20:10,079 --> 01:20:14,119 I would uh, I'd create images and then kind of tweak them in Photoshop. 828 01:20:14,239 --> 01:20:16,960 And yeah, I got really into a Polish artist, bec Synski, 829 01:20:17,159 --> 01:20:24,439 and it's really it's disturbing stuff, but it's it's it's really neat art. 830 01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:27,399 So yeah, I try to do stuff in his style. So that's Yeah, 831 01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:30,880 that's like I always wanted to draw our paint and I never really could, 832 01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:35,520 so yeah, the AI kind of Yeah. So when you're when you're 833 01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:39,600 coming up with these, do you go into the generator? And then I 834 01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:43,800 know a little bit about it, So do you do you type in a 835 01:20:43,880 --> 01:20:48,279 prompt like imagine, I don't know what you would type in for prompts to 836 01:20:48,319 --> 01:20:51,520 get these images, to be honest with the cover is Arrival of the Waves. 837 01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:55,800 I typed in Arrival of the Waves. Put in a couple of operators 838 01:20:55,880 --> 01:21:00,560 that got me the style and colors that I wanted. That's kind smoothed it. 839 01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:04,239 And yeah, that's cool because it's, you know, in a way, 840 01:21:04,279 --> 01:21:10,920 it's not what I would expect with that prompt, if that makes sense. 841 01:21:11,119 --> 01:21:14,920 Were you surprised at the image it generated? I'm constantly surprised at some 842 01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,399 of the things that generates. I'll do like experiments where I will I'll pick 843 01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:23,119 an album and I'll take every every song title, yeah, and just do 844 01:21:23,199 --> 01:21:25,760 an art prompt on that, oh no kidding, And it gets some pretty 845 01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:28,760 cool stuff. And I've actually started writing, you know, poetry and lyrics 846 01:21:28,840 --> 01:21:30,560 based on the photos I get back, Oh no kidding, artwork. It 847 01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:34,439 generates because it doesn't always it's not like a one to one, you know, 848 01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:38,680 matchup as far as you know what you put in and what you get 849 01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:42,640 out, So it always spits out something kind of neat that that you know, 850 01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,560 sometimes sparks something in me. Yeah, so next album, yeah, 851 01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:48,960 and then and then so all the images in the artwork, they were all 852 01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:51,920 done that way. Yes, all right, I have to ask you so 853 01:21:53,199 --> 01:21:56,720 and unfortunately, well, I'll hold it up for the camera again for people 854 01:21:56,800 --> 01:22:00,600 watching on video, people listening won't know. But I I am very curious 855 01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:05,840 what prompt generated that. I think if that prompt was keeping Pace with the 856 01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:11,159 Elephants, which is the name of the Oh, yes, okay, I 857 01:22:11,239 --> 01:22:13,960 see it now. I didn't even see it at first looking at it. 858 01:22:14,159 --> 01:22:17,199 That's why I looks like an elephant with palettes on it. Yeah, yeah, 859 01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:23,680 but no, but it's cool. It's a cool all of it. 860 01:22:24,399 --> 01:22:26,680 I didn't know what I was looking at. That's why I was so curious 861 01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,560 about it. But it looked interesting. But that makes sense now I see 862 01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:31,199 it, and I loved on the cover of the Little I don't know if 863 01:22:31,199 --> 01:22:34,039 you want to call it a being, but whatever that little being is, 864 01:22:34,199 --> 01:22:36,680 I think that's awesome. I love I've always loved that. Yeah, I'll 865 01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:41,039 hold it up again for the camera. It's and people can obviously, you 866 01:22:41,119 --> 01:22:43,720 know, go online, go on band camp and you'll you'll find it. 867 01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:49,319 But I think that yeah, and I think that's why I said for that 868 01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:54,760 prompt, I wouldn't have expected necessarily this image because like I would expect that 869 01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:58,880 being to be a surfer, but that's not a surfer. It's it's just 870 01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,159 interesting. It's fascinating. Yeah, but it'll use a lot to the imagine. 871 01:23:01,279 --> 01:23:04,640 Yeah, which is cool. Yeah, yeah, oh we should mention 872 01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:10,560 two adam you it's funny and and this has happened to me before. It 873 01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:15,520 it's inevitable. But when you guys got here, I think the first thing 874 01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:16,800 you said to me was we had met before. Yeah, yeah, and 875 01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:20,319 it was like thirteen years ago. On the other show that I do, 876 01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:24,640 I interviewed you. You were in the band Buck fifty five, Yes, 877 01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:28,239 and that and that's still online. People can still go on. Yeah, 878 01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:32,920 it's on a reverb nation. Whatever happened to that band anyway? Well, 879 01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,079 we lived far apart. Yeah, so yeah, it was it was harder 880 01:23:36,159 --> 01:23:40,640 and harder to get to practice. Yeah, you know we're still friends. 881 01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,079 I actually saw him two weeks ago. Oh good, yeah, yeah, 882 01:23:43,159 --> 01:23:45,720 we still see each other all the time. So yeah, very cool, 883 01:23:45,199 --> 01:23:48,439 excellent, excellent, Well let's psalm. Let's do this.

And they 912 01:30:12,399 --> 01:30:15,760 all talked like that and apparently met where Saturn Death Cult was from. They 913 01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:21,039 were from rally Rally. They're from near work, West Virginia, Virginia. 914 01:30:21,239 --> 01:30:26,279 Okay, they were from Richmond, Virginia. Not a Saturn death cult. 915 01:30:26,399 --> 01:30:29,199 Oh, these guys are great great. Played a show with them in Boston 916 01:30:29,279 --> 01:30:32,000 a couple month, month and a half ago, kidding, unbelievable show. 917 01:30:32,199 --> 01:30:35,800 Nobody showed up. It was a storm of the century, the rainstorm we 918 01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:40,680 had. They drove all the way up that day and it was a Sunday 919 01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:43,680 afternoon show, and because it was raining so high, I think nobody wanted 920 01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:45,960 to come out with one person, the coolest guy in the world, Jay 921 01:30:46,119 --> 01:30:49,119 our buddy Jason from rod Iron Hex Game. But other than that, no 922 01:30:49,159 --> 01:30:55,359 one else showed up. We got to see them. We had a personal 923 01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:59,279 show, which was amazing. Yeah. Yeah, they were so good live. 924 01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:01,079 Oh that's well. Do you guys play out a lot? You playing 925 01:31:01,079 --> 01:31:03,680 a lot of shows? Quite a bit? Yeah, it's been quite a 926 01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:05,880 bit. We can play on Saturday night. We're gonna be up in Maine 927 01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:11,199 at Charlie's Hill. Yeah, playing with your friends Crooked Cash. Yes, 928 01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:14,159 I said hi, by the way, Yes, yes, yep. We 929 01:31:14,239 --> 01:31:16,079 had those guys on a number of months ago, and they're coming back soon. 930 01:31:16,520 --> 01:31:19,079 Yeah. Really really good, Jenny said in the chat room. I 931 01:31:19,159 --> 01:31:23,520 really love this music. Yeah, absolutely, Jenny, Thank you, Jenny, 932 01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:29,439 absolutely really good stuff. When you guys, you mentioned a song like 933 01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:30,920 mental Note, it kind of changes every time you play it. What about 934 01:31:30,960 --> 01:31:33,880 what about the other songs? Do any of the other songs change or is 935 01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:39,079 it really just Mental Note because it's such a jam. I think my solos 936 01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:43,119 kind of change here and there. I don't like, I don't memorize any 937 01:31:43,199 --> 01:31:47,239 of them, So the solos might change a little bit, but the meat 938 01:31:47,319 --> 01:31:53,439 and bones of the songs stay pretty close to the same every time. Yeah, 939 01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:56,680 I might have a little bit different tone. If I've thrown my my 940 01:31:56,840 --> 01:31:59,960 pedal board bag around a little bit, some of the knobs might be turned, 941 01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:04,279 and so she might sound a little different tonally. But we've made a 942 01:32:04,319 --> 01:32:08,960 mistake. When we do a Mental Note live, like it's all the pedals 943 01:32:09,039 --> 01:32:13,720 and we just crank them all the show and just you know, another wall 944 01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:16,159 of sound. And I made the mistake of, you know, not touching 945 01:32:16,239 --> 01:32:20,479 my board after a show mental Note. The next night I go to sound 946 01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:26,359 check, crank every knob on my delay pedal, and then next time I 947 01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:30,560 go to play everything will be going when I turn it back on the next 948 01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:33,119 day. What it is matters is we kept the song in the exact same 949 01:32:33,199 --> 01:32:38,520 way that we created it. We created it with no boundary. We I 950 01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:42,359 think that jam Adam just started playing the beginning part. I came in on 951 01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:45,720 drums, Malcolm came in on guitar, and it just ended up jamming it 952 01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:50,800 for a huge length of time. We because we've been playing together for a 953 01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:55,479 while, we kind of know what each other do. And the song came 954 01:32:55,560 --> 01:32:57,399 to an end, We're like, oh my god, we got to record 955 01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:01,079 that. I also think Malcolm and I had just gone to Godspeed You, 956 01:33:01,159 --> 01:33:10,600 Black Emperor not long before, very noise rocky who would sound Yeah, yeah, 957 01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:13,920 so we had just seen them. They were very noise rocky sound, 958 01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:17,159 you know. So, so every day we really inspired after we did it 959 01:33:17,239 --> 01:33:20,000 the same way. We just jammed it and ended it when we felt that 960 01:33:20,079 --> 01:33:24,000 it was time to end the song. Yeah, And it held that way 961 01:33:24,079 --> 01:33:27,199 all the way through going in the studio and recording the album. We did 962 01:33:27,239 --> 01:33:30,319 it the same the same way. We've recorded everything live except for the vocals, 963 01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:33,640 so we were able to just literally jam these tunes. Oh wow, 964 01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:38,199 Yeah, have you guys been together a long time. How long has this 965 01:33:38,279 --> 01:33:42,600 band been around? Jimmy and I have been jamming while pre pandemic. We 966 01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:45,520 were actually in a band about thirty years ago together, a band called No 967 01:33:45,680 --> 01:33:49,199 Thanks. We're like a y metal band. Yeah, yeah, early nineties, 968 01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:54,279 and then took a long, long, long break. But we started 969 01:33:54,359 --> 01:34:00,359 doing this again probably in twenty twenty nineteen. We took a eight at the 970 01:34:00,439 --> 01:34:03,239 beginning of the pandemic for a little while, yeah, just until we could 971 01:34:03,279 --> 01:34:08,439 figure out what was going on. And then after that we got together and 972 01:34:08,800 --> 01:34:12,239 Jimmy and I have been like the constant. We've had members come and go. 973 01:34:13,119 --> 01:34:16,399 Yeah, and then Malcolm has been with us for who's never hearing, 974 01:34:16,479 --> 01:34:18,920 Who's never gonna go. We're not gonna allow We're gonna break his leg. 975 01:34:19,199 --> 01:34:25,119 He's gonna be the first one that we don't allow to be get that. 976 01:34:27,880 --> 01:34:30,720 So it's kind of settled into this is what we are now. Yeah, 977 01:34:30,479 --> 01:34:33,680 very cool. You big spinal Tap guy? Oh? I love that movie 978 01:34:34,079 --> 01:34:41,159 Anything those guys touch? Yeah yeah eleven Yeah. The other show that I'm 979 01:34:41,199 --> 01:34:44,920 on on Fridays hosted by Police. We always kind of break his balls because 980 01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:48,079 he's never seen spinal Tap. See that's one of those, and he would 981 01:34:48,159 --> 01:34:50,399 love it, and we're always telling him, dude, you'd love it. 982 01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:55,920 I'm I have a reputation of never seen having seen a film, and I've 983 01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:59,000 seen it. Yeah, I've actually seen six movies. I would love to 984 01:34:59,039 --> 01:35:02,319 watch Spinal Tap the first time again. Yeah. Yeah, that's something though, 985 01:35:02,359 --> 01:35:06,560 you may have to suspend that friendship that I know, connection is made. 986 01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:10,920 I know it's like, you know, not grounding an amp or something 987 01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:14,680 like that. Something bad's gonna happen. Yeah, he's he's also never seen 988 01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:21,279 Purple Rain and that one. I've never seen Purple You've never seen Wow? 989 01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:26,319 I love the album. Yeah, but I've never watched the movie. Oh 990 01:35:26,359 --> 01:35:29,239 you gotta see it. A prince is acting as for not No, I'm 991 01:35:29,279 --> 01:35:32,159 kidding. Actually he's not that great, but much better musician than an actor. 992 01:35:32,279 --> 01:35:34,560 No, but the film, it is an incredible film. You should 993 01:35:34,600 --> 01:35:39,640 see it. Even like Morris Day at the time, seeing those guys perform 994 01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:43,600 live, oh yeah crap. Yeah yeah, that band was full of talent. 995 01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:45,319 I wish I had seen them live, Like, yeah, me too, 996 01:35:46,239 --> 01:35:48,880 me too. Yeah, I would have loved that. Well, I 997 01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:54,079 guess technically they're still I think I think they still tour more stay. I 998 01:35:54,159 --> 01:35:56,279 think, yeah, I think they just call it Morris Day or something. 999 01:35:56,319 --> 01:35:58,479 They don't have to call it Morris Day in the time anymore, but I 1000 01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:00,880 think it's essentially the same band, have a different name that they go by 1001 01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:04,800 now. Rona Ferverro in the chat room, our friend from California. She 1002 01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:09,359 says, the guitar work and that last song, Reflections had a really cool 1003 01:36:09,560 --> 01:36:14,039 Robin Trauer vibe. Oh, gridge of size is one of my favorite tunes, 1004 01:36:14,079 --> 01:36:16,720 and that's the sound I was going for with the Oh I'm gonna freaking 1005 01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:24,680 cry. Well done, Ronda, well done. Yeah, yeah, you 1006 01:36:24,760 --> 01:36:27,960 guys were kind of talking off air too while the song was planned that it's 1007 01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:30,239 been a good day in terms of the response of the album. Good feedback, 1008 01:36:30,359 --> 01:36:34,760 Yeah, absolutely, any anything in terms of feedback that's really kind of 1009 01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:41,039 surprised you, Like, oh, I wasn't expecting someone to well, people 1010 01:36:41,279 --> 01:36:45,000 other than people were friends with were related to liking it surprises me. Yeah. 1011 01:36:45,479 --> 01:36:48,640 I had a plant manager at my company out of the Blue asked me 1012 01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:51,800 for a copy the other day, and he sent me an album review this 1013 01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:59,319 morning. Really, and he used epic and hypnotic for mental note. Oh 1014 01:36:59,439 --> 01:37:02,000 and I was like just blown away that this guy actually took the time, 1015 01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:04,840 you know, out of his day, and he was like, after the 1016 01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:09,199 third time I've listened to it in twenty four hours, I'm like, are 1017 01:37:09,239 --> 01:37:12,720 you kidding me? So it was funny that we actually got somebody to listen 1018 01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:15,680 to this album more than once in that short of a time. Yeah, 1019 01:37:15,079 --> 01:37:17,520 Oh that's really cool. And with mental note, anytime, you know, 1020 01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:21,399 you have a love and a half second song, you wonder how that's going 1021 01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:26,680 to be received some people, And so far it almost seems like it's the 1022 01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:29,199 favorite on the album. So far, so good. Yeah, from the 1023 01:37:29,239 --> 01:37:31,199 feedback that I've gotten anyway, Yeah, you know, they're like, all 1024 01:37:31,239 --> 01:37:34,279 these songs are cool, but mental note is is you know, it's like, 1025 01:37:34,359 --> 01:37:36,840 all right, so an eleven and a half song was well received, 1026 01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:41,119 that's good. Yeah yeah, yeah, you just never know. I mean 1027 01:37:41,199 --> 01:37:44,039 that's part of the adventure of it in a sense, right, Yeah, 1028 01:37:44,199 --> 01:37:47,880 but uh yeah, that's that's really cool. Do you do you play any 1029 01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:53,399 of the older songs live? Still? We do a lot lately. We've 1030 01:37:53,439 --> 01:37:58,159 been doing two songs off the album. We remember promoting the new album, 1031 01:37:58,720 --> 01:38:01,039 you know, for quite a few months now, like mostly new stuff, 1032 01:38:02,279 --> 01:38:06,319 but they're going to end up making most of the songs will end up making 1033 01:38:06,359 --> 01:38:11,800 their way back into the rotation. I'm looking at I'm looking back at it. 1034 01:38:12,199 --> 01:38:15,640 These songs are really viable songs, and they're really good. I think 1035 01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:19,279 I could have gone back and nit picked them a little bit more on the 1036 01:38:19,399 --> 01:38:26,359 recordings. But they're good songs, and they we do rotate them in. 1037 01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:30,079 We do rotate them in. Yeah, And the EP was very well received. 1038 01:38:30,119 --> 01:38:32,680 It was well received. Yeah. Yeah, And on this new album, 1039 01:38:33,119 --> 01:38:36,439 the bonus track at the end is the title track off our first EP, 1040 01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:41,920 Keeping Pace with the Elephants. Oh that's why it's called slight return yet 1041 01:38:42,159 --> 01:38:44,920 because we do it differently on this album, because this one we do a 1042 01:38:45,159 --> 01:38:48,560 stripped down acoustic version and I play on a Cohne rather than a drum set. 1043 01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:51,960 Yeah, it came out and it still sounds really heavy, really great 1044 01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:58,560 about Ben like the drum sound he got out of that cane unreal. Yeah, 1045 01:38:59,079 --> 01:39:01,239 and it tied is Malcolm into the first album because he wasn't around for 1046 01:39:01,319 --> 01:39:05,119 the first album, so it kind of brings him back to it. So 1047 01:39:05,560 --> 01:39:09,800 because of that, we play Keeping Pace with the Elephants live a lot right 1048 01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:13,159 now, because it is a song that's on the album, and if if 1049 01:39:13,239 --> 01:39:15,560 people haven't heard the first album, they hear that song and then they go 1050 01:39:15,680 --> 01:39:19,680 back and they you know, investigate that we have another album and they listen 1051 01:39:19,720 --> 01:39:23,159 to them, Oh there's keeping Pace with the Elephants again, and then they 1052 01:39:23,239 --> 01:39:27,039 hear the full band version that's you know, full on distortion everything, and 1053 01:39:27,079 --> 01:39:28,920 it's you know, we thought it would kind of be a neat little thing 1054 01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:31,920 to do. Yeah. Yeah, Plus Adam and I and Malcolm, we'll 1055 01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:36,479 do open mics on nights, doing stripped down versions of our songs, kind 1056 01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:40,039 of kind of how that was born too. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, 1057 01:39:40,159 --> 01:39:42,520 Yeah, we'll pick an open mic every once in a while, and yeah 1058 01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:45,199 we'll just show it as a band. Yeah. Oh wow, yeah, 1059 01:39:45,319 --> 01:39:46,439 just do it. Oh very cool. It's cool to have that kind of 1060 01:39:46,479 --> 01:39:53,000 flexibility to do that. Yeah. I wrote everything that we've recorded on an 1061 01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:58,199 acoustic guitar. Oh yeah, pretty pretty, so they translate quite well. 1062 01:39:58,439 --> 01:40:01,399 Yeah yeah. Yeah, ever have anything that doesn't translate that you write it 1063 01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:04,079 on the acoustic and then you go, I don't know if this works plugged 1064 01:40:04,119 --> 01:40:09,319 in. We haven't come across anything yet. He's brought stuff to us that 1065 01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:11,359 I've been like, you know, I don't know if that will work with 1066 01:40:11,479 --> 01:40:15,159 distortion. This will be a Mela song. Yeah, we kicked the pedals 1067 01:40:15,199 --> 01:40:18,560 and it's like, that sounds good. I want to hear it distorted, 1068 01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:21,479 like really, I like, yeah, kept them past work that way. 1069 01:40:21,520 --> 01:40:25,760 It was an acoustic song and Jimmy's like, I want the fuzz pedal on 1070 01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:27,800 on that, and we did it, and we were like, whoa, 1071 01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:30,800 all right, let's do it. It was the last song I thought we 1072 01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:33,520 were gonna put fuzz on. I think it was Keith Richards said in an 1073 01:40:33,560 --> 01:40:36,880 interview once though. If it doesn't work with just an acoustic guitar, right, 1074 01:40:38,279 --> 01:40:42,680 it's you know, yeah, right right, Well we should uh yeah, 1075 01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:44,800 we got time, why don't we? Uh you want to give that 1076 01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:46,520 one to listen? Kept them past? Yeah, because I think you had 1077 01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:49,640 said you're that was the original single, right that you were kind of using 1078 01:40:49,760 --> 01:40:53,560 yet. Yeah, yeah, let's let's give this one a spin. All 1079 01:40:53,640 --> 01:40:57,600 right, this is kept Uh, I'm sorry. I kept them past from 1080 01:40:57,920 --> 01:41:01,079 able Blood and the brand new album out today, Arrival of the Waves. 1081 01:41:01,520 --> 01:41:23,800 Check this out. I would see him for a while. It's like a 1082 01:41:23,920 --> 01:42:00,039 night that never ends. Appreciate the final things for the doll Disappa space in 1083 01:42:00,159 --> 01:42:05,680 a blue bed for a game, A little water, A little line? 1084 01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:45,359 Would you put down on the guys? Tiny? Missed up, puny till 1085 01:42:45,479 --> 01:43:39,079 one put the water on the cake, Keep him now forever, pass kept 1086 01:43:39,199 --> 01:43:44,079 them passed by Able Blood from the brand new album Arrival of the Waves. 1087 01:43:44,119 --> 01:43:47,239 We've got these guys in studio with us, and uh, if you want 1088 01:43:47,279 --> 01:43:49,159 to get in with a call, if you got anything for the band six 1089 01:43:49,279 --> 01:43:54,560 zo three two five zero six zero seven six zero three two five zero six 1090 01:43:54,680 --> 01:43:58,920 zero seven you guys, Uh, you go for those long uh that you 1091 01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:01,720 know that the decay with the feedback, a lot of sustain Yeah, I 1092 01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:04,479 like that. I like that a lot. Yeah. I think that's part 1093 01:44:04,520 --> 01:44:08,840 of what gives it that epic quality. It doesn't seem like a lot of 1094 01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:11,560 bands really do that anymore. I mean, there's probably more than I realized, 1095 01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:13,760 but I don't know. I feel like it's been a while since I've 1096 01:44:13,840 --> 01:44:15,720 kind of heard that ending to a song. You know, I'm too lazy 1097 01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:20,560 to figure anything else out. Hit that last note and let it ring. 1098 01:44:20,760 --> 01:44:24,399 Yeah, yeah, it works, it works. It's bring me back to 1099 01:44:24,479 --> 01:44:27,439 spinal tap. You can just hit that, go out and have a fight, 1100 01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:30,520 right right, it's just sustained. Yes, don't don't touch that. 1101 01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:36,239 Use that time to put your pedals back to where they belong. Right now, 1102 01:44:36,319 --> 01:44:40,680 what do you guys have coming up? As far as you got any 1103 01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:43,520 shows this weekend? You must be playing somewhere this Weetmber. Yeah, this 1104 01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:45,800 Saturday night. We're up in Charlie's Hill and up in Lebanon, Maine. 1105 01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:50,199 Okay, the end of the month with September twenty ninth. We're actually here 1106 01:44:50,279 --> 01:44:55,720 in town on Elm Street. We're at Top Shelf Tattoo Excellent. Yeah, 1107 01:44:55,720 --> 01:44:59,000 we're gonna be playing with dust Profit. Oh yeah. I used to be 1108 01:44:59,039 --> 01:45:05,840 in a band with Auto from Yeah, yeah, yeah, and Trading Tombstone 1109 01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:12,439 is gonna be on that bill. And there's a band coming up from Philadelphia 1110 01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:17,119 called shadow Witch. We're really looking forward playing this show. Yeah yeah, 1111 01:45:17,359 --> 01:45:21,199 yeah. Which playing shows has been great because we've talked about this. I 1112 01:45:21,319 --> 01:45:27,079 love shows we get on where it's like four bands and nobody sounds, you 1113 01:45:27,119 --> 01:45:30,159 know, and you just, yeah, let's make some buddies and listen to 1114 01:45:30,199 --> 01:45:32,560 a whole bunch of different kinds of music. It is really great playing with 1115 01:45:33,279 --> 01:45:36,560 like out a lot. Like we've gotten to know so many bands around the 1116 01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:41,920 area, and yeah, like love all of them, you know what I 1117 01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:45,159 mean, as people love their music. Yeah, you know it seems like 1118 01:45:45,279 --> 01:45:48,119 you guys too, can kind of fit in with different like you know, 1119 01:45:48,520 --> 01:45:53,319 I get you fit in with metal bands, but you also probably fit I 1120 01:45:53,359 --> 01:45:57,119 think in the beginning we had a trouble getting gigs because people didn't know where 1121 01:45:57,159 --> 01:46:00,359 to put us. Yeah, because we had heavy riffs. Yeah, well 1122 01:46:00,399 --> 01:46:02,960 we couldn't. We could play with hardcore bands, but we didn't quite fit 1123 01:46:03,039 --> 01:46:05,039 in with that. And then we will play with some metal bands and we 1124 01:46:05,079 --> 01:46:08,960 didn't quite fit in that. So they're just trying to figure us out. 1125 01:46:09,079 --> 01:46:14,119 But we're starting to get quite a bit of games. Yeah. We're also 1126 01:46:14,199 --> 01:46:16,640 playing October twenty second at Pub on the Park in Cranston, Rhode Island, 1127 01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:24,840 Okay. And then November twenty six we're backup in you have to change that 1128 01:46:26,479 --> 01:46:30,479 sixteenth, November sixteenth, another show, another show with dust profit Yes, 1129 01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:36,079 Oh, very cool, outstanding, outstanding. Oh. Jenny shared the link 1130 01:46:36,159 --> 01:46:39,800 in the chat room two to band camp and I assume this is on all 1131 01:46:39,840 --> 01:46:42,760 the streaming services, right, Yeah. I was all released at midnight. 1132 01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:45,520 The only one it wasn't on this morning was Pandora. Okay, yeah, 1133 01:46:45,560 --> 01:46:48,079 it'll be there, it'll be there. Yeah, it's definitely on Spotify, 1134 01:46:48,279 --> 01:46:56,039 it's on Amazon Music, Apple Musical Music, Outstanding, outstanding. And you've 1135 01:46:56,039 --> 01:47:00,520 got physical copies of physical CDs. Appreciate. I appreciate you you guys bringing 1136 01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:02,840 those in. Was that was that a difficult decision whether or not to make 1137 01:47:02,920 --> 01:47:06,920 physical discs or no, we just didn't know if we wanted to do vinyl 1138 01:47:08,039 --> 01:47:12,079 or CD. I think we wanted to do vinyl, but it's expensive. 1139 01:47:12,239 --> 01:47:18,279 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I exclusively We'll say, don't rule 1140 01:47:18,319 --> 01:47:21,520 it out because it's a possibility that it's coming. Yeah. So yeah, 1141 01:47:21,680 --> 01:47:26,119 yeah, I'd like to see that artwork in a big guy. That's the 1142 01:47:26,239 --> 01:47:29,640 that's the beauty of the most beautiful part about how the vinyl is being able 1143 01:47:29,680 --> 01:47:31,920 to put the big, huge artwork on it. Oh yeah, yeah. 1144 01:47:32,159 --> 01:47:35,800 Well I can remember buying stuff simply because of the artwork. Oh yeah, 1145 01:47:35,960 --> 01:47:39,920 and being like, Okay, I'm going to roll the dice on this because 1146 01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:43,239 if they like this art. That's how you found music back in the day 1147 01:47:43,319 --> 01:47:45,039 when you didn't have internet, you didn't have any other way to to. 1148 01:47:45,239 --> 01:47:47,399 You know, when you were in the mood for something new, you went 1149 01:47:47,439 --> 01:47:50,479 to the local record store and you stopped looking at artwork. Yeah, it 1150 01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:54,520 was either doing that or Headbanger's Ball. It was the only two ways I 1151 01:47:54,600 --> 01:48:01,680 knew it was getting twenty minutes. Yep, I missed them both. I've 1152 01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:06,560 got somewhere in a storage unit. There's I've got a bunch of vh old 1153 01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:12,680 VHS tapes of Headbanger Small. I'm sure they don't play anymore, even if 1154 01:48:12,680 --> 01:48:15,119 I had anything to play them on. They're probably all super damaged and all 1155 01:48:15,199 --> 01:48:18,479 that. But now where should people? I want to make sure two people 1156 01:48:18,600 --> 01:48:21,239 know where to go online to keep up with everything you guys are doing as 1157 01:48:21,239 --> 01:48:26,399 far as shows and whatnot. We keep our Facebook able, blood Facebook up 1158 01:48:26,439 --> 01:48:30,960 to date most Yeah. I'd like to say I'm good with the Instagram, 1159 01:48:31,119 --> 01:48:34,359 but I'm not. Yeah, I don't keep it up very well. Yeah, 1160 01:48:35,239 --> 01:48:41,319 but I do post on there fairly frequently. Jimmy does the ePK. 1161 01:48:43,960 --> 01:48:47,600 He keeps that up to date. And uh, you can go there and 1162 01:48:47,680 --> 01:48:53,640 you can see past shows, upcoming shows, videos. The bio links to 1163 01:48:53,720 --> 01:48:58,119 all our socials. Okay, excellent, excellent, I think to get the 1164 01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:02,840 The most current stuff is probably our Facebook page. Yeah, okay, okay, 1165 01:49:03,239 --> 01:49:05,920 and we should make sure people know too. Able is a B E 1166 01:49:06,279 --> 01:49:11,520 L just so no one's misspelling it. Looking for you guys, Yes, 1167 01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:14,560 although if you google it the other way you probably still come up. I 1168 01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:17,479 would, I would hope, yes, But you come up with able blood 1169 01:49:17,520 --> 01:49:21,800 and Sava yeah, oh okay, come up when you do it. Yeah. 1170 01:49:21,920 --> 01:49:26,840 Yeah. And then obviously this this album is fresh, it came out 1171 01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:29,680 today. But are you already thinking about the next one, because you said 1172 01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:32,520 you were about halfway done writing. Yeah, the next one. Yeah. 1173 01:49:32,680 --> 01:49:36,359 Yeah, it's gonna be heavier too. Yeah. Really, and the song 1174 01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:41,039 Arrival of the Waves will probably end up on that album. Yeah. So 1175 01:49:41,399 --> 01:49:44,000 oh so there's an actual song called Arrival of the Waves. Yeah, that's 1176 01:49:44,039 --> 01:49:46,399 how we got the name. Yeah. Oh yeah, so we like to 1177 01:49:46,439 --> 01:49:49,399 I like to do little homages to, you know, bands that I like, 1178 01:49:49,520 --> 01:49:53,760 And this might be our homage to led Zeppelin. Ok okay, you 1179 01:49:53,840 --> 01:49:57,319 know like they had houses all the Holy was on what physical graffiti? Yeah, 1180 01:49:58,199 --> 01:50:00,960 maybe we'll do something like that where we'll just put a rival on the 1181 01:50:00,119 --> 01:50:02,920 of the Waves. Yeah, on the next album. Or will you steal 1182 01:50:02,920 --> 01:50:09,199 a bunch of blues music and we could do that. Ah. Yes, 1183 01:50:09,439 --> 01:50:14,119 that's been a subject on Retrospectrum Radio with Policy. The other show that I'm 1184 01:50:14,159 --> 01:50:18,079 on later on Fridays is Led Zeppelin and their uh plagiarism, some of which 1185 01:50:18,199 --> 01:50:23,920 is really blatant. Yeah. I can't believe that they won that case against 1186 01:50:24,039 --> 01:50:30,159 what was it Targas or Targas or whatever. Oh no, sorry, I 1187 01:50:30,199 --> 01:50:33,039 don't want to get into this now. Hijack the interview. I know, 1188 01:50:33,239 --> 01:50:38,439 I know, I know what you're talking about. No, it's it's what 1189 01:50:38,640 --> 01:50:43,960 was the name of the band anyway? Yeah, yeah, they did when 1190 01:50:44,159 --> 01:50:46,159 the Zeppelin won that one, didn't they Yeah, because it's really just one 1191 01:50:46,199 --> 01:50:50,880 part of it that's the same. But man, some of them well yeah 1192 01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:54,439 yeah, the main riff, but some of those uh yeah, some of 1193 01:50:54,479 --> 01:50:58,079 those songs that they took from blues artists. Like it's not even just the 1194 01:50:58,359 --> 01:51:01,439 riffs, it's it's like the lyrics too. It's like, oh my god, 1195 01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:04,159 just shameless. I mean, I love Zeppelin, no offense. I 1196 01:51:04,199 --> 01:51:10,800 mean, you've got the shirt, but uh but yeah, they even stole 1197 01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:14,680 a song from Joan Baias. Did you know that? I don't remember what 1198 01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:18,000 song it is. But yeah, there's a song. I only know this 1199 01:51:18,039 --> 01:51:21,239 because Paul See those of Retrospectrum Radio brought us my attention. This is a 1200 01:51:21,279 --> 01:51:26,239 Joan Baia's song that they lift and it's and when you hear it, it's 1201 01:51:26,319 --> 01:51:30,600 like it's obvious, Like it's not even ambiguous, it's really obvious. It's 1202 01:51:30,640 --> 01:51:36,479 like, oh my god. Yeah. Yeah, Well, guys, this 1203 01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:41,520 has been wonderful. I really I really appreciate y'all coming in.

Oh, 1222 01:52:51,399 --> 01:52:55,640 well, that's I was watching a publisher's clearing house commercial one day and 1223 01:52:55,640 --> 01:52:58,319 I couldn't come up with any lyrics. Yeah, and so I wrote the 1224 01:52:58,319 --> 01:53:01,439 song about a publisher's clearing how giveaway? Yea, yeah, that was it. 1225 01:53:01,560 --> 01:53:05,760 I mean it was Yeah. I'm kind of a strange topic for a 1226 01:53:05,960 --> 01:53:13,239 band that's heavy. But why seven dead? How did you get seven from? 1227 01:53:13,359 --> 01:53:16,039 Well? You know, I always imagine like really old people winning the 1228 01:53:16,119 --> 01:53:23,359 publishers clearing house, and you were winning seven thousand dollars a day from people 1229 01:53:23,560 --> 01:53:28,079 dead? Seven of them are dead every week. I don't know, Okay, 1230 01:53:28,199 --> 01:53:31,439 yeah. You ever read a song about like consumer cellular or anything that 1231 01:53:31,880 --> 01:53:39,399 might be the next subject I talk about maybe maybe a catheter commercial on I'm 1232 01:53:39,439 --> 01:53:43,600 working at a concept album about boost Mobile.

On our first album, the first track of the album is called 1236 01:53:55,960 --> 01:53:59,880 The Day that Moby Died yea, and people thought he was targeting the rapper 1237 01:54:00,239 --> 01:54:05,279 mobile. Yeah, yeah, yeah, which we were. We had a 1238 01:54:05,439 --> 01:54:13,399 review. Somebody reviewed our album and tagged him in it. That's fantastic, 1239 01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:15,560 not that, not that we wouldn't want to get an argument with Moby, 1240 01:54:15,680 --> 01:54:21,600 right, I mean right, you know, good publicity. Melanie said in 1241 01:54:21,600 --> 01:54:25,560 the chat room. I love doing the publishers clearing house. I will do 1242 01:54:25,680 --> 01:54:29,960 it for years. Uh.
