now one certain it is Tafia not.

22
00:01:14,719 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 2: But uh in Lowell, I gotta tell you, I looked

23
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,359
it up when we were listening to the other interview,

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,200
it is a lustrous silk, a fine silk, but its

25
00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:27,239
original Latin was too shine.

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: Okay, so they kind of right, right, it might be

27
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,719
ta feta if it were a Greek restaurant, right, but

28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,719
it's but it's not. I mean, there could be Greek

29
00:01:35,719 --> 00:01:37,879
food there. I have no idea, but uh, okay, so

30
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,920
what is uh? So BPS Records is one of the

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,159

33
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:49,519
We are very very happy to be here. It's it's

34
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,799
like finding your people, right, Like we're out out there

35
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,879
doing all this stuff on our own. It felt like

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,480
for so long, and then it was like organically, here

37
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,760
we are with the rest of our planet, you know.

38
00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,000
I mean, so we're very very happy to be here,

39
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:05,319
happy to be a part of it. He ove us

40
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,799
right into the hosting of it, which is great. I

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,639
love being an EMC at my live show, so I

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,319
was like, it's perfect for me. Yeah, But just being

43
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:14,560
in the thick of it, anything we can do to

44
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:16,879
participate and make it happen is you know, what we're

45
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:17,319
all about.

46
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:20,319
Speaker 1: So it sounds like so BBS Records. It sounds like

47
00:02:20,319 --> 00:02:21,360
it's been around for a while.

48
00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: So it's so funny when people ask me that because

49
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,000
it feels like forever and not forever.

50
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:28,039
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what I.

51
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,759
Speaker 2: Mean, because we're just it's our life, so we're constantly building,

52
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,879
living and creating. We started the company in twenty fourteen,

53
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:39,080
but it was like two years of We only started

54
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,240
it legally so we didn't lose it, right, We registered

55
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,479
the name and did it, and then it was like

56
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,000
about two years are really going, Okay, yeah, this is

57
00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:48,560
what I want to do. This is what I want

58
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:50,759
to be doing with the rest of my life. Okay,

59
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,560
I mean so, and it kind of just grew from

60
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,039
there and it's milestone after milestone, just popping up like

61
00:02:56,039 --> 00:02:57,639
a little brush.

62
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,039
Speaker 1: Fires Okay, you know what I mean.

63
00:02:59,199 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: Okay, an end goal because, like like Will was saying earlier,

64
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,479
if you're constantly doing it, then you're not finished, right,

65
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,120
you know what I mean. So we're very similar in

66
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:10,120
that aspect of it.

67
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,159
Speaker 1: Right exactly what was what was kind of the genesis

68
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:15,840
of it? Like what made you want to start this?

69
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,439
Speaker 2: So I've been creating my whole life. So when I

70
00:03:19,479 --> 00:03:22,319
say that it was twenty fourteen, I realized that it

71
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,719
was I've just been doing it my whole life. Yeah,

72
00:03:24,759 --> 00:03:27,719
so there was, you know, just living living it. My

73
00:03:27,719 --> 00:03:30,400
mother's a singer. My mother actually hooks in New Hampshire

74
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,719
out on bail band. I want to throw that out there.

75
00:03:32,719 --> 00:03:35,639
I know she's listening, okay, but she's always been. It's

76
00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:39,520
been our lifestyle, so it's never been a job. So

77
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:42,759
just kind of branding it is what happened in twenty fourteen.

78
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: Okay.

79
00:03:43,479 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: So you know, my I have children that are creators.

80
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:47,919
So you know, one day I was like, what are

81
00:03:47,919 --> 00:03:50,080
we going to do with there's no platform for the

82
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:53,960
beautiful mind? So that's a BPS stands for okay. So

83
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,199
and you know everybody's saying it's hobbies, it's this, it's that,

84
00:03:57,479 --> 00:04:01,280
and all this original artwork is being brushed side, you know.

85
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,800
So kind of you know, organically went together itself that way.

86
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: You said, so BPS, what is BPS sand for?

87
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: Exactly?

88
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,159
Speaker 1: Beautiful People's Society, Beautiful people Society.

89
00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:15,039
Speaker 2: Okay, So it's it was a platform for art, okay,

90
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,319
and just kind of grew into its own individual departments. Okay,

91
00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:22,000
we do everything for ourselves. So the independent artist, like

92
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,959
the label itself is the label for the independent artist.

93
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:29,439
So there's not we're all making money off of our

94
00:04:29,439 --> 00:04:31,839
own talents, and we're offering what we have for our

95
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:34,600
talents to other people. So we all get up to

96
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:35,959
that top where we want to be.

97
00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:38,759
Speaker 1: Appropriately okay, bye bye.

98
00:04:38,959 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: Not it's not a crab barrel, you know what I mean?

99
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,600
So I guess that's that's the best way I can answer.

100
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,959
Speaker 1: So is because obviously, you know, I hear I hear

101
00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:51,279
the word records in the title. So but it sounds

102
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,800
like it's not necessarily a traditional record label, or I

103
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,399
mean it is because the nature of record labels has

104
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,319
changed so much over the years too, you.

105
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: Know, yes, so it's more like a production management as well.

106
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,439
So we do have the recording studios in Middletown, Connecticut,

107
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,839
so there's live recording, there's venue with it's like a

108
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,879
venue as well. And then we have a I like

109
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,920
to call it My Little Whiskey a go go because

110
00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:21,319
that's basically what it's turned into, where we filter at

111
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:23,680
our restaurant. So it's like a cabaret lounge, you know,

112
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,839
the old dinner in a show, but it's all original music.

113
00:05:26,759 --> 00:05:29,600
And then we take we do uh, we do a

114
00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:32,560
live stream show everybody likes to call out a podcast.

115
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,560
I hate that word really, but yeah, only because we've

116
00:05:35,639 --> 00:05:37,839
we've kind of channeled in it a little bit differently.

117
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:39,800
It's it's similar to what we see here, so I

118
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,240
love seeing that, but there's there's none of that going

119
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,600
on down there, you know, So we do it live

120
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,639
in the restaurant. So all all that the label has

121
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,879
turned into from there is this, the recording and the

122
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,639
traditional stuff, but it's just so much more, you know,

123
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,560
and then bringing it to the front for the public

124
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,399
to see, to participate that. We do a lot of

125
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:05,240
hard work behind these scenes, as you know, as you

126
00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:07,720
run around and do all the same stuff that I'm doing.

127
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, So bring it to the forefront.

128
00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:13,879
Speaker 2: So our listeners are peers, maybe other you know, people

129
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,600
networking with us can see that hard work. So that's yeah,

130
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:20,360
it's a little of it of all the above.

131
00:06:20,639 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: Now, how often at the restaurant do you do this

132
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:27,279
where you have so so you have the performers come in.

133
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 2: Yes, every Wednesday we do our show. Okay, it's an

134
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:35,040
interview and then they do like a preset performance, okay,

135
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,680
a preview performance because then we book them after that. Okay,

136
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,920
they get like their own showcase stage. Oh interesting, yeah, okay,

137
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,680
So it's usually like a two week window so we

138
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,360
can market. You can see. You don't want to go

139
00:06:45,399 --> 00:06:47,879
to places and be like, damn, I don't know who's playing,

140
00:06:47,959 --> 00:06:50,720
or only go to places because you know who's playing, right,

141
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,959
So you kind of get a little preview on the show.

142
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,079
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, it works out very well. And then so

143
00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:00,120
so they do that, so that happens on Wednesdays, and

144
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,560
then if you book them, that's on a Friday or Saturday.

145
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the Spotlight is on Friday. We do live

146
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,040
music six days a week. Oh wow, except for the

147
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,240
school year. We're family first, so Mondays we're closed to

148
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,120
take care of our little ones. But Tuesday we do

149
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:19,000
open my comedy. Oh but it's grown into filtering. So

150
00:07:19,079 --> 00:07:21,480
everything we do we all, like I said, offer to

151
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,199
other artists. So we've got a comedian that comes in

152
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,279
and does a similar version of on my set of

153
00:07:27,399 --> 00:07:30,879
his podcast that's now his live stream. Oh okay, so

154
00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:33,720
we do the production for him and such. It's so great.

155
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,800
It's the only day we don't do music. Oh okay, yeah,

156
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,439
but it's art and art and creating is the big.

157
00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:41,759
Speaker 1: Factor for Yeah, yeah, owning.

158
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: Your inner potentials to whatever that craft is.

159
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: Now, do you now when you talk about some of

160
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,879
the other the other things that you do, I mean,

161
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,360
do you do you release music with artists or do

162
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,160
you do you get into that.

163
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: Part of So we before the pandemic, everything was a

164
00:07:55,279 --> 00:07:57,560
little bit different, right, So we're still trying to find

165
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,000
our bearings and isolating things for that. But we definitely did.

166
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,600
And but our goal is a little bit bigger in

167
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:07,839
that aspect. You know, we don't we don't want to

168
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,079
down anybody else's in the way they're doing it, but

169
00:08:10,079 --> 00:08:12,120
we want to do it better. So we want to

170
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,680
have our own applications for original music that all goes

171
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:19,439
much like band camp. I think you referred to band camp. Yeah,

172
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,319
I think they're one hundred percent profits to the artists.

173
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: Correct, No, they they take I think they take ten

174
00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:27,959
to fifteen percent, depending on what it is.

175
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but we've been misinformed. A lot of my

176
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,679
guests were saying that they were on the artists. That's

177
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,080
good to know.

178
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean, something could have changed. I could be wrong,

179
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:40,679
but the last I knew, they they took a percent.

180
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,919
At least if you're if you're selling music through band camp,

181
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,440
now it might be different. If you're selling merch and

182
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,720
you're shipping it yourself, that might be different. Okay, I'm

183
00:08:52,759 --> 00:08:53,320
not sure.

184
00:08:53,639 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: So we want to do it one hundred percent of

185
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:55,679
the artists.

186
00:08:55,879 --> 00:08:56,159
Speaker 3: Okay.

187
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,279
Speaker 2: Our big thing is getting the airplay for music, getting

188
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,320
everything to the forefront, like we said, and it's the

189
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,120
same thing with that. When we get that, you know,

190
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,120
organized enough to do it right, it'll be all that.

191
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:11,320
And there's no reason for me to make money off

192
00:09:11,399 --> 00:09:13,960
other people's talents. I've clearly got enough of my own.

193
00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:17,000
I just got to keep participating and not doing it

194
00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:20,679
for everybody else instead of myself. And then that's the thing.

195
00:09:20,879 --> 00:09:24,039
So we want to do that. We all should be.

196
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,559
There's no there's no room for the starving artists more

197
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,960
that we're all this talented and we can all be

198
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
helping each other. So that's the goal for that as

199
00:09:32,039 --> 00:09:34,879
far as the distribution. But you know, we do everything

200
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,080
in the label paired for the artist, so there's no

201
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,519
come sign up with us and we promise you all

202
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,519
this stuff. It's it's if you are. We don't go

203
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,039
out looking for the artists. It's got to be organic.

204
00:09:46,279 --> 00:09:49,440
You know, we're not paying our bills off our record label.

205
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,080
You know, it's it's literally a platform to help the

206
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:58,080
whole movement. So every single agreement of I hate the

207
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,360
word contract because we're not we're not we're not selling anything, right,

208
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:03,759
but it's a deal. When you come and say this

209
00:10:03,799 --> 00:10:05,559
is what I need from my career, how do I

210
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,039
get this done? We all need to help each other,

211
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:11,480
right or at least get out. So it itemizes down

212
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,960
one stop shop for you. All of our departments open

213
00:10:15,039 --> 00:10:18,399
up because the studio is not just music, So we

214
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:24,399
do the portraits. We've got the film department so you

215
00:10:24,399 --> 00:10:27,080
could do your videos, and at the studio you could

216
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,080
do your your own versions of your podcasts and your shows.

217
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,639
Your album covers the long nine yards. Yeah, and you

218
00:10:34,639 --> 00:10:37,200
know we're all we want is the credit. We want

219
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,519
the branding credit. That's the thing for me because it's

220
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:41,080
such an.

221
00:10:40,919 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: Overall company, you know, right right.

222
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,639
Speaker 2: Think about like when you see the little Playboy bunny

223
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,679
everywhere everybody knows what that means.

224
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:53,399
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, that's what we're going for exactly. Now, are

225
00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:56,519
there are there artists performing? Are their bands performing tonight

226
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,360
at Swarmy Fest with whom you're currently working.

227
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:02,799
Speaker 2: Or not the year, not this year. We definitely wanted

228
00:11:02,799 --> 00:11:05,600
to just participate wherever they put us in. But you

229
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,639
bet your bottom dollar, I'm gunning for a whole bunch

230
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:08,519
of stuff next year.

231
00:11:08,639 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. Now, So I'm curious

232
00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:14,919
Jonathan and Remy, how did you both get involved in this?

233
00:11:16,519 --> 00:11:16,919
Speaker 3: Uh?

234
00:11:17,639 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 2: I forgot two years ago, two but I think two

235
00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:21,639
years ago you came in for.

236
00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:24,159
Speaker 3: I came in for the oil wrestling thing.

237
00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

238
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,919
Speaker 1: Oil was like sounds sick, I'm doing it. And that's

239
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,279
how we met and now we're besties. Yeah wait what really?

240
00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:33,759
Speaker 2: Yeah you hung up.

241
00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 1: On the one that that's the thing, Like people still

242
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:37,960
do that.

243
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: Well, so all right, we're supposed to be a thing. Yeah,

244
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,519
it's it's so I'm gonna have to bring it up

245
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,120
because it originated here my old partner, the late Great

246
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:53,000
Captain Chris local DJ around here in Manchester need to

247
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,559
karaoke DJ okay. But he and I were at places

248
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,480
cage myself a little bit but nineteen ninety five and

249
00:12:01,519 --> 00:12:04,799
they were doing uh karaoke and someone pulled out a

250
00:12:04,799 --> 00:12:07,360
pool and they filled it with yello okay, and I

251
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:09,240
was like, you know what would make this so much

252
00:12:09,279 --> 00:12:12,159
better and it kind of developed into that. So we

253
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,120
went and bought this big blow up wrestling matt type ring. Yeah,

254
00:12:16,159 --> 00:12:18,320
and we went on tour. We grabbed six girls and

255
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,080
we went on tour and it was the best thing

256
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,840
that I ever did to keep myself in shape.

257
00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:24,399
Speaker 1: And wow, it was great.

258
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,399
Speaker 2: So we're bringing it back since he passed away, We're

259
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,919
gonna bring it back and just bring it on a

260
00:12:27,919 --> 00:12:30,799
whole different level. Okay, and that will be next year

261
00:12:30,919 --> 00:12:33,440
for sure, Okay at Swarmy Fest.

262
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,039
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh wow, all right. Interesting. Interesting. So that's that's

263
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,519
how you that's how you met.

264
00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:42,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how we met and signed up for it,

265
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,559
and it didn't happen, sadly, but it's gonna happen.

266
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,159
Speaker 2: It's gonna Hapenna, it's gonna be right. Yeah, But I

267
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,399
do have her and she's so very talented, so I

268
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,879
have her in every aspect of everything we do.

269
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,399
Speaker 1: Okay.

270
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: Within our company, everybody is an artist or a creator

271
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:56,480
of some sort.

272
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're.

273
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,639
Speaker 2: All kind of just up an overreached apartment and doing

274
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,919
everything together. So it's pretty beautiful.

275
00:13:04,039 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, excellent. And then Jonathan, how did you get involved.

276
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 3: So I got involved. Let's say.

277
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,519
Speaker 4: Last year August, I actually came down. Uh, she had

278
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:21,759
a studio middle time, as she said, I was saying,

279
00:13:21,759 --> 00:13:25,440
and I did some rappings things like that at the studio,

280
00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:29,399
and then when she opened up her lounge, I came

281
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,360
down every Thursday night. Every Thursday night we do a

282
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:34,600
musicians jam there.

283
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 3: It's a great time.

284
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 4: We make music on the spot, all unrehearsed, you know,

285
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,399
all kind of freestyle.

286
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: Uh.

287
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 4: We have a drummer that comes there, he's the host.

288
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,279
The guitar player always comes down, bass player, and then

289
00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:50,360
usually I just.

290
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 3: Do the vocals.

291
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,799
Speaker 4: But we met there, and you know, it's been a

292
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,840
kind of a partnership ever since. We kind of developed

293
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,159
more into a oh got to be closer, Yeah see

294
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,799
there you go. Yeah, but yeah we met. We met

295
00:14:08,799 --> 00:14:12,840
there at the lounge and a nice Thursday night, and

296
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,960
I've kind of been linked at the hip ever since.

297
00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: So excellent.

298
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 2: This tends to happen in this industry because we're doing

299
00:14:21,639 --> 00:14:24,320
so much and it feels so good to create, right.

300
00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:28,360
So it's the support that that we have in each

301
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:31,720
one of our departments or venues is just like it's overwhelming.

302
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,960
In a positive way. Like, it's just it's like my

303
00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:37,720
children graduating from school, you know what I mean, It's

304
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,919
actually happening. Everything I believe in is happening. Did you

305
00:14:40,919 --> 00:14:41,919
see it with the support?

306
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's excellent. Now who else is involved? Are there

307
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,200
other people currently involved in BPS?

308
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, so big shout out to some of them people.

309
00:14:50,519 --> 00:14:53,480
We've got our drum master that he was referring to

310
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,799
on our open jam. Chuck Peterson from the Adventures of

311
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,960
Thatteya's Black I'm on my show, is lead singer of

312
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,000
his band, is the host of my show Everyond Love Daddy.

313
00:15:06,519 --> 00:15:09,039
There's just a little little bit of everybody from all

314
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:13,159
the bands in the work that we've we've been through

315
00:15:13,159 --> 00:15:16,120
along the way. It's just where they're all keepers, you know,

316
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,639
so if something's going down, they're like, I want to

317
00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:20,279
so a little bit of everybody.

318
00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:23,879
Speaker 1: Did I hear the Adventures of Thaddeus Black That that's

319
00:15:23,919 --> 00:15:25,799
the name of a band. That's a cool name.

320
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 2: You've got to look at that band up man. Yeah,

321
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:34,320
for sure, all original Connecticut natives, phenomenal, phenomenal music.

322
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:37,559
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned something about your show, do you also

323
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:40,480
do uh? Do you have a podcast or something.

324
00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: Or I'm gonna have to figure out what to call it.

325
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:44,159
Speaker 1: Well, that's right, you don't like you don't like that.

326
00:15:45,919 --> 00:15:47,799
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know why. It's just the

327
00:15:47,919 --> 00:15:51,639
stigma I think of. You know, it's not the same, right,

328
00:15:51,799 --> 00:15:54,320
so that for me is important. But it's you know,

329
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,840
it's not that big of a deal. It's called BPS Talks. Currently,

330
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,360
we ared film it live at hot Rod Spotlight Lounge

331
00:16:02,559 --> 00:16:07,679
on Main Street in Middletown, Connecticut, but we only are

332
00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:10,519
airing it on the Facebook, okay, because we're gonna be

333
00:16:10,559 --> 00:16:13,080
We're in transition of doing some really big things with

334
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:18,080
the show, so in some colleagues that haven't quite we

335
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,679
haven't quite made it terms with it yet, so I

336
00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:20,440
don't want to mention it.

337
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 1: But sure, sure, you know, bringing.

338
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: It to the next level, and then we'll have it

339
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,320
on other platforms. Yeah, you know, we keep them up there.

340
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,679
You can link everything on the website links to every

341
00:16:28,799 --> 00:16:32,639
department we have, so it's a big, long splash page.

342
00:16:32,879 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Yeah, It's funny the term podcast it's become,

343
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:41,159
it's become a broader term over the years because when

344
00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:45,720
I first started, I think I think I I think

345
00:16:45,799 --> 00:16:49,879
I first started doing podcasting, and I think it was

346
00:16:49,879 --> 00:16:52,919
two thousand and six. Wow, is that long ago. Well,

347
00:16:52,919 --> 00:16:55,080
we didn't call it, but the term podcast you didn't

348
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,559
even hear that word yet, right, so at that time,

349
00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:01,000
but we were streaming, so we call that. My friends

350
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,080
and I who are doing it, we called it internet radio,

351
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:05,960
which is a term you never hear now now now

352
00:17:06,039 --> 00:17:09,960
literally anything you know, like like obviously we're live on

353
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:12,559
FM radio right now, but we're also streaming to Facebook

354
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:16,079
and YouTube and everything, and so so it's like we're

355
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:18,680
podcasting but at the same time. But it used to

356
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,720
be like then, when the term podcast started being used,

357
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,480
it seems like people referred to that as anything that

358
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:29,359
was recorded, like recorded audio of a show was a podcast,

359
00:17:29,599 --> 00:17:32,079
but if you were going live, it was still called

360
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,880
internet radio. But then over time podcasts just became you know,

361
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,559
if you're streaming, it's podcasting, if you're podcasting, you're streaming.

362
00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:40,359
And it's just kind of well.

363
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,319
Speaker 2: It brings me back to like my whole, you know,

364
00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:46,559
plan or my whole the importance of my movement is

365
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:49,279
bringing all that hard work that we're doing to the forefront.

366
00:17:49,319 --> 00:17:51,519
And I think I just always felt like it was

367
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,079
being taken away with that whole like you said it

368
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,519
was this, it was that. Yeah, So kind of combining

369
00:17:57,559 --> 00:18:01,000
the two is how I'm overcoming that negative stick for me. Yeah,

370
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,640
with with my podcast clients, right yeah, and I'm I'm

371
00:18:05,799 --> 00:18:07,519
true and true to my word and what I believe in.

372
00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:10,279
So if I catch myself being hypocritical, I'm like, Okay,

373
00:18:10,279 --> 00:18:11,079
how do we fix this?

374
00:18:11,319 --> 00:18:11,519
Speaker 3: Right?

375
00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 2: What do we do about it? Because creating is creating?

376
00:18:14,039 --> 00:18:17,240
So yeah, open the platform for the podcast guys, Let's

377
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,039
show them how it's done. There you go, there, you go,

378
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,000
really and they love it. They love every minute.

379
00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: No, absolutely, if you are just joining us. We have

380
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,920
BPS Records here with us talking about well, of course

381
00:18:28,079 --> 00:18:30,880
getting to know them and and all about BPS Records

382
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,279
and of course they're a very important part of Swarmy

383
00:18:33,319 --> 00:18:37,160
Fest tonight at Taffada in Lowell. I believe doors are

384
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,920
at five pm five yeah, and Jenny and I will

385
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,680
be there of course, and yes, yes, really looking forward

386
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,119
to that. Have you, as BPS Records been involved in

387
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,720
other shows like this, like what Swarmy Fest is?

388
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 2: We it's it's crazy because I was saying, like it's

389
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,359
so odd for me, I'm kind of appreciating being like

390
00:18:58,519 --> 00:19:02,079
the newcomer to swarm with because I had the weight

391
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,799
up my shoulders usually always because they're always my productions.

392
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,119
So now since we've opened the lounge, it's a tracted

393
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,440
all these other great productions, where now it's just here's

394
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,960
my room, here's my floor. Yeah, and it's really nice

395
00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:20,319
to always add to everything like that. But yeah, we

396
00:19:20,319 --> 00:19:26,279
did cet Rocks Rock. We were just listening earlier. Yeah,

397
00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:28,079
Bob the April with c t Rocks. He's been doing

398
00:19:28,079 --> 00:19:30,160
it for years as well. I mean I had never

399
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,279
heard of him, right, So because I'm we're all so

400
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,519
focused on our movements and what we're doing, right. So

401
00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:37,400
he had a spot show up and I was like,

402
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:40,240
he's like, can we do twelve bands in your place?

403
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,079
And I was like wait, Like he thought it was

404
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,640
gonna be a problem. I'm like absolutely. He's like great,

405
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,279
So he's just gonna give me the place all day.

406
00:19:47,279 --> 00:19:49,200
What about your other customers? They said, well, they're gonna

407
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,119
have to listen to the music, right, you know what

408
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,680
I mean. But and it was twelve original phenomenal bands

409
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,640
you had. You know, your you always have your solo

410
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,519
acts where you're like okay, I see where they're going,

411
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,279
you know what I mean. But the point of it

412
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,119
was just the promotion of the independent art and they

413
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,920
just kept going. When things went wrong, I was always like,

414
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,079
give them my card, like I know how to fix

415
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,400
that much time, you know, But that was like one

416
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:22,400
of my favorites. Soundhoum Productions. That's another one we do.

417
00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:28,160
Uh it's four four original bands back to back, okay,

418
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,319
and it's like, you know, ska, punk, punk, folk, you

419
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,920
know everything. Were actually twenty twenty five. We have a

420
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,960
lot more that we're going to be doing as far

421
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,000
as answering that question, So yeah, I know. We got

422
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:45,079
Eric Raboska from Highest Frequency Record Records in Connecticut. He's

423
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,680
gonna come take over the first Saturday of every month

424
00:20:47,799 --> 00:20:51,519
and kind of do the same thing, but a totally

425
00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:55,359
different line of musicians. Phenomenal. Yeah, there's so much great

426
00:20:55,559 --> 00:20:57,960
hard work out there. Oh yeah, And I just want

427
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,759
everyone to see like we're not just paying and record

428
00:21:00,839 --> 00:21:04,880
labels to play our music, like we're doing everything, you know,

429
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,359
and that goes for everyone. That's a part of the movements.

430
00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you ever have anyone approach you? Do you

431
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,599
ever have a musician who approaches you who wants to

432
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,759
work with you, but they're not. They're just not ready.

433
00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: Boy do I are? So that agreement that I was

434
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:21,640
telling you about, it's funny because it's now disclosed with

435
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:25,200
what I'm intolerant to. Okay, right, So because I don't

436
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,359
have time for that, you know, being a mother as

437
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,599
well as being a mother of all my creations, I

438
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,839
really just don't have time for that. So if you

439
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,640
don't have discipline to your own career, you don't even

440
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,599
have to have a plan. But the dedication, the discipline

441
00:21:39,759 --> 00:21:43,279
and the poise of what they taught you in karate

442
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,400
class for crying out, you know what I mean. We've

443
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,200
learned everything we need to know in kindergarten about life.

444
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,000
If you don't have that, then there's nothing we could

445
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,480
do for you. You know, you may need a lot,

446
00:21:53,559 --> 00:21:56,000
which is great and fine, but that's the core stuff

447
00:21:56,039 --> 00:21:58,640
you have to come with. Your drive is the most

448
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,519
important thing to original use it. You know, we all

449
00:22:01,559 --> 00:22:03,640
have our ups and downs. I have my days where

450
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,240
I'm like, what am I doing? I didn't go to

451
00:22:06,279 --> 00:22:07,720
the beach at all this year? Like you know what

452
00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:10,480
I mean? But it goes that way.

453
00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:16,039
Speaker 4: So we say they party like rock stars before they

454
00:22:16,079 --> 00:22:16,440
make it.

455
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,519
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's the biggest downfall. It's like, what are

456
00:22:19,519 --> 00:22:23,119
you doing? So we do have a lot of mostly positive,

457
00:22:23,599 --> 00:22:25,039
but you do have a lot of people that come

458
00:22:25,079 --> 00:22:27,799
and then. And I'm really a stickler with it. I

459
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,319
love I love everything, and I want to help everyone.

460
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,200
But if in the first three seconds of what you

461
00:22:33,319 --> 00:22:35,359
play for me, I don't want to hear it anymore.

462
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,720
You know, you got a little more work to do.

463
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:41,279
And I know that sounds harsh, but it's real. It's

464
00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:44,079
about being being realistic with where you are and what

465
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:48,279
you want. But we never turn anybody away, you know,

466
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,480
if you come around and you need help, even with

467
00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:55,559
those beautiful mind problems that we have, you know, all squirrel,

468
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,599
you know, we just we attend to that. But if

469
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:02,240
you're just not good, you're not good and someone should

470
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,000
tell you that, right. I know it sounds rough.

471
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: No, but it's true. It's true. You're not You're not

472
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:11,240
doing anybody any favors by, you know, pretending that they've

473
00:23:11,279 --> 00:23:12,759
got something that they don't have.

474
00:23:12,839 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 2: Right and you and it can weaken it can weaken

475
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,079
their path and they're creating if you put them in

476
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,400
a room with people that might make them feel insecure

477
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,759
about where they're at, and you don't do that, so

478
00:23:24,839 --> 00:23:27,400
being honest with that. But I do have some people

479
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,359
that just think that there's some place that they're not

480
00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:33,039
and I'll kindly tell them, you know, just mn't you

481
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:35,720
do this, come on back, you know. But we always

482
00:23:35,759 --> 00:23:39,599
create a platform to perform. So at the studio, that's

483
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,799
where you can work out those kinks and you go

484
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:44,160
down there, Hey, take the room for a night through yourself.

485
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,000
A concert be the the highlight, right, because that's important

486
00:23:48,039 --> 00:23:50,319
if you can't. We talk about that all the time.

487
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,640
If you have five people in a band, but we're

488
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,599
all supposed to be supporting one another, but it is

489
00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:58,680
very hard when all your friends are musicians. You can't

490
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,319
be anywhere, right, I mean everywhere at the same time. Yeah, yeah,

491
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,440
but we will look at you know, the crowds that

492
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,279
come in. If you can five people in a band

493
00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:09,039
and not one person comes, I mean, you've got a mom,

494
00:24:09,079 --> 00:24:10,720
you've got a wife, you've got a brother, you've got

495
00:24:10,759 --> 00:24:13,880
a husband, and someone should be coming to support you, right,

496
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,000
So like those are the kinks I think, like you know,

497
00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:19,799
putting the horse car before the horse and stuff like that.

498
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,680
So we offer that platform at the studio for them

499
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,319
to get that stuff out of the way and learn

500
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:25,839
that organically.

501
00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

502
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: I feel like, uh, you know, in my my own

503
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,160
experience working with musicians and I used to play in bands,

504
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,839
and but I also you know, I do other things

505
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,119
in the industry, and I feel like I've all I've

506
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,039
got an axiom. I've always sad everybody wants to be

507
00:24:39,079 --> 00:24:40,880
a rock star, but only as long as it's easy.

508
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,240
Oh yeah, you know, and then you know some some people,

509
00:24:45,279 --> 00:24:47,839
you know, they're like, whoa, there's actual work involved. It's

510
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,200
not all you know, it's not all glamorous, and no

511
00:24:50,599 --> 00:24:51,000
it is not.

512
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,799
Speaker 2: You got those people that come in and they're like,

513
00:24:53,839 --> 00:24:56,039
you got to listen to my song right now. I'm

514
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,759
it like that they're going to be discovered, and it's

515
00:24:58,759 --> 00:25:00,799
like I have to be the bad guy. This is

516
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,559
this is why we're the independent label for the independent artist.

517
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,319
You know, we're not going to lie to you, We're

518
00:25:05,319 --> 00:25:07,039
not going to do all that, yeah know what I mean.

519
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. The other delusion that I've always talked about is

520
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,279
the mythical record company scout. You know, you know the

521
00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:16,759
guys who play, you know, the same bar every weekend,

522
00:25:16,839 --> 00:25:19,759
and they're they're just convinced that you know, any any

523
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,240
any weekend now that this mythical record company scout is

524
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,799
going to walk in during their set and be so

525
00:25:24,839 --> 00:25:27,200
impressed with what they see and handing them a five

526
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,240
album deal. And it's so true.

527
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's why I you know, we I like to

528
00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:34,880
call it my movement rather than my label because of

529
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,200
that stigma with it too. Yeah, And they're like, oh,

530
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,759
nobody gets discovered this. This stuff is hard, man, Like

531
00:25:42,799 --> 00:25:45,799
we aren't me can't remember the last time. She ate,

532
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,119
like where you ago? You know what I mean. We're

533
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,000
just we're constantly doing it, and they just don't get

534
00:25:54,039 --> 00:25:57,160
that if you can't, and I get like, there is

535
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,599
the part time artist right that is working in nine

536
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,000
to five because you have to have a nine to

537
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,599
five too, right to cover it all unless you can

538
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,359
be one hundred percent in it. Yeah, But like I

539
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,640
only see my children because I've created family friendly businesses.

540
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,799
So you know, my teenagers in the kitchen cook and

541
00:26:13,839 --> 00:26:16,400
he's making beats in the studio. My ten year old's

542
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,119
telling my bartenders how to run the computer. Like, you

543
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,720
know what I mean, you got to find a way

544
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,720
to bring the two together to do that. For the

545
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:27,279
part time artists, we still give them that same love,

546
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,400
like creating is creating and I love that they don't

547
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,039
even care where their music goes. They're just you played

548
00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:33,759
that at your place?

549
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: Yes, right right?

550
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,599
Speaker 2: You know, so it's really just the movement of the

551
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:39,599
creating and stuff.

552
00:26:39,759 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. What would you say is the biggest misconception

553
00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:46,799
that you run into when when you know these artists

554
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,440
come to you, what are the biggest expectation they have

555
00:26:50,519 --> 00:26:52,279
that maybe they shouldn't or you.

556
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 2: Know, oh well, if I'm going to pick one or

557
00:26:55,799 --> 00:26:57,880
you don't have to pick it. The first one that

558
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,920
comes to mind is that I'm going to do your job,

559
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,960
you know what I mean? And because I'm guilty of that,

560
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,640
I will catch myself going why is this so hard?

561
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,839
Because it's not my job, it's not my career, and

562
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,599
I want to help, but I want to do all that.

563
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,799
It's that nurturing part, you know. But sometimes I got

564
00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:17,759
to turn around and switch the hat and be like, wait,

565
00:27:18,559 --> 00:27:22,640
you're supposed to do this. I had an artist that phenomenal,

566
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,599
he had so much potential and he still does that

567
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,960
I signed with and it was always my fault that

568
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,119
something wasn't getting done and I would go back to

569
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,240
my meeting minutes because now I keep meeting minutes. You

570
00:27:34,279 --> 00:27:36,680
were supposed to do this by this state, so I

571
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,680
could do all this yours, you know. And they just

572
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:43,960
don't understand the value and importance of keeping that that system.

573
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,359
Like I can't shut down the house because you today

574
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,279
wanted to do what you're supposed to do two months ago,

575
00:27:49,759 --> 00:27:52,960
And why am I not where I'm supposed to be? Well, yeah,

576
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,799
you know, you have to do the work. So yeah,

577
00:27:55,839 --> 00:27:57,880
that's the biggest thing that that we're just going to do.

578
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,119
Their jobs are not a management label. We are having

579
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:06,680
a hard enough time managing all our businesses, right Yeah.

580
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,200
And then that and other than that is like the

581
00:28:09,319 --> 00:28:14,000
organic nature of real original music, Like I will not

582
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,160
let people sing over their own tracks. If you if

583
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,000
you don't know the difference between a show mix and

584
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,440
a performance mix and a track, we got to bring

585
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,839
you way back in the step in the process because

586
00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:28,359
that value is so different, you know what I mean,

587
00:28:28,839 --> 00:28:31,720
if you run into that a lot, a lot more

588
00:28:31,799 --> 00:28:36,599
than you would think. Yeah, the only it's it's it's

589
00:28:36,799 --> 00:28:40,000
kind of genre specifically more you know, there's a lot

590
00:28:40,039 --> 00:28:41,920
of hip hop. I would love to take over the

591
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,279
hip hop world right now in Connecticut because there's some

592
00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:48,799
phenomenal people, but the stigma because of that, it's so

593
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,920
hard that people are just you know, it's kind of

594
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,680
like a quick buck, I guess for them to start them,

595
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,279
but they just really don't do it right. So that

596
00:28:57,319 --> 00:28:59,319
would be a full time job for me. I take

597
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:05,400
on that, but not as much in you know, other genres,

598
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,039
you know what I mean, You do get a lot

599
00:29:07,119 --> 00:29:09,799
of people that, Like we had a big shout out

600
00:29:09,839 --> 00:29:13,119
to Jamie Starchild and the Dream Factory. He was a

601
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,279
guest on our show last week. I was an honor

602
00:29:15,359 --> 00:29:19,000
to have him there and seeing he's got the same

603
00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:21,200
views as us too, Like that's big for me seeing

604
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,240
these national big stars that are like, yeah, let's do this.

605
00:29:25,319 --> 00:29:26,759
What can I do with you? And I'm like what,

606
00:29:27,319 --> 00:29:28,799
you know what I mean, I'm star struck on my

607
00:29:28,839 --> 00:29:31,279
own show, trying to keep it together. But he did

608
00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:34,000
this one man show and it was fifteen minutes and

609
00:29:34,039 --> 00:29:36,279
I needed more, but he was you know what I mean.

610
00:29:36,839 --> 00:29:38,519
So if you had your eyes close, it would be

611
00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:41,759
like a Prince song because he did everything and he sang,

612
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,640
and so you'll have your your stuff sometimes on backtracking

613
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,720
when you're an independent, original by yourself artist. But you know,

614
00:29:49,759 --> 00:29:53,599
we strongly love that when it's your craft. Yes, but

615
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,839
if it's happening because you're not ready to perform, meaning

616
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,599
you don't have a band, and again, put put your

617
00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:03,720
your priorities in order to get to where you need

618
00:30:03,759 --> 00:30:04,240
to be with your.

619
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: Grad Yeah, sure, yeah, absolutely, any any like sort of

620
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:15,400
success stories or anybody who you've worked with who's really

621
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,319
kind of, you know, gone to that next level, who

622
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,240
you want to kind of give some shine to, anybody

623
00:30:20,279 --> 00:30:22,000
you want to mention or oh.

624
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,279
Speaker 2: Gosh, I feel that. Oh my god, I don't think

625
00:30:26,319 --> 00:30:28,240
I can do that, And everybody's gonna be mad at me.

626
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,680
For me though, what it is is like I used

627
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,240
to always tell everybody when they're like my contracts, right, yeah,

628
00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:38,240
they're like, this has got to be a gimmick. You

629
00:30:38,279 --> 00:30:39,720
don't want anything for me, You're not going to do

630
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,160
this for me different And I'm like, yeah, I mean

631
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:46,039
if you come to me and someone finds you like

632
00:30:46,079 --> 00:30:48,599
they all think it's gonna happen, right, Hell, yea, I'll

633
00:30:48,599 --> 00:30:50,240
sign you out of that. I just let them, Know,

634
00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:52,839
I looked you up, like, yeah, that's the thing, Like

635
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,880
wherever they go from there is not about that. To

636
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,279
answer that question. There's a ton of people out there

637
00:30:59,319 --> 00:31:04,119
finally living through music, doing what they love appropriately, and

638
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,599
you know, I don't want to take credit for that,

639
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,599
but I love being a part of it, you know

640
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:12,640
what I mean. So even like, even with my ties

641
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,000
with the Avengs of That is Black, I have no

642
00:31:15,599 --> 00:31:18,240
connections in any way, shape or form to their artistry

643
00:31:18,319 --> 00:31:21,039
and what they do other than their participate in my movement.

644
00:31:21,599 --> 00:31:25,000
And for me, what I do for that is we

645
00:31:25,119 --> 00:31:27,880
non stop promote and market as well. So it's it

646
00:31:28,039 --> 00:31:30,400
goes both ways in every every area of it. You know,

647
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,119
we'll go to their shows, the pr that we do

648
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:38,599
for our guests, the eliminating of these crazy, outrageous fees

649
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,000
for artists, because if you're a part of our movement,

650
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,960
it means you've been on our show, you've attended our places,

651
00:31:45,279 --> 00:31:47,799
and then you get this member access for pricing, right

652
00:31:47,799 --> 00:31:50,000
because we do have to make money, right, Yeah, of course,

653
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,599
So all of my talents are making money. I'm making

654
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,960
T shirts for the public as well as for bands.

655
00:31:55,279 --> 00:31:57,839
You know, small businesses helping each other. So it's really

656
00:31:57,839 --> 00:32:02,160
this really big web of our artistry and basically change

657
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,319
in the world so we can all afford it. Yeah. Yeah,

658
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:07,799
you know, my Building and Zoning department told me I

659
00:32:07,839 --> 00:32:11,160
rewrote the Chamber of Commerce. So the way my brain

660
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,000
works just out in the hallway, I was like, you

661
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,519
know what we're going to do that. We're going to

662
00:32:14,559 --> 00:32:17,599
make bps a chamber of arts, and it's make it

663
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:18,759
happen for the state, you know.

664
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:24,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So what's the Is there a kind of

665
00:32:24,839 --> 00:32:29,400
a what's an example of something that artists need that

666
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,920
they don't know that they need, like when they come

667
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,279
to you, something that you can do for them that

668
00:32:34,319 --> 00:32:36,720
they didn't even think was important.

669
00:32:37,079 --> 00:32:38,319
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a great question.

670
00:32:39,839 --> 00:32:43,119
Speaker 2: Structure first of all. Structure right away, that's the most

671
00:32:43,559 --> 00:32:46,480
valuable for the beautiful minds. We want to do everything

672
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:51,079
all at once, right, Yeah, the things like the branding,

673
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,599
branding yourself. I think people think that the work itself

674
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:55,279
is branding.

675
00:32:55,519 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's not.

676
00:32:57,119 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 2: And if you are all like I'm all over the place,

677
00:32:59,839 --> 00:33:02,920
I keep opening businesses because I have that much more

678
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,160
to do in the brain. But at the end of

679
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,799
the day, if there isn't a line of branding for it.

680
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,000
Like if you're doing rock today and then you're doing

681
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,519
wrap tomorrow, that's phenomenal talent, but how do you organize

682
00:33:17,519 --> 00:33:20,440
it to maintain that, you know, for for the long

683
00:33:20,519 --> 00:33:23,119
term event, And so that I think is the most

684
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:27,000
part is really situating a plan. And I'll have a

685
00:33:27,039 --> 00:33:30,599
plan sometimes most of the time. Plan is to get

686
00:33:30,799 --> 00:33:34,359
famous most of these people, but like we're always talking about,

687
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,960
you know, just in common conversation, like Will and I

688
00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:39,079
and you know, my guys on my show and everyone

689
00:33:39,079 --> 00:33:42,039
that we know down there for musicians, like Jamie said

690
00:33:42,039 --> 00:33:43,920
it best, We're like, where do you see yourself in

691
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,799
the future. He's like, hopefully still working like this. If

692
00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:51,240
I get like Will said earlier, if I get there.

693
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 3: Then I'm done.

694
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 2: You know, there should just for us, we're doing what

695
00:33:56,319 --> 00:33:59,359
are our main and long term goal is regardless of

696
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,000
the outcome, you know what I mean. So even if

697
00:34:02,039 --> 00:34:05,359
for some reason I'm not able to juggle all this

698
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:08,199
phenomenal stuff and it doesn't pass off to my kids

699
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,760
or some other great young artists, I'm still going to

700
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,840
be in my own studios and I'm still going to

701
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,440
be talking everybody's ear off on my shows.

702
00:34:15,559 --> 00:34:16,199
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

703
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, I got to keep creating.

704
00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, Now, if someone wants to uh so you know

705
00:34:23,599 --> 00:34:25,639
this show. You know, we know a lot of industry

706
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:29,719
people listen and a lot of musicians listen. If someone's

707
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,119
interested in working with you, like, what should they do?

708
00:34:32,159 --> 00:34:34,800
What's the best way to go about reaching out?

709
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,079
Speaker 2: So I got a lot of avenues. But if you

710
00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:39,159
go to the website, you can always click my email.

711
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,719
But the problem is I've got so many emails. So

712
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,039
I did put my personal cell phone on my website.

713
00:34:45,079 --> 00:34:46,639
I know a lot of people say not to do that.

714
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,960
My text me call me, I will get back to you,

715
00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:52,360
and that is the best way reach out directly or

716
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,760
come on down. Yeah, you know I am. I live

717
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,920
at my lounge unfortunately, because that's like the hub for everything,

718
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,719
right yeah, but I'm so as soon as we're remodeling

719
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:03,880
the studio right now, so in a couple of weeks

720
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,840
I'll probably be glued to the studio again, you know,

721
00:35:06,199 --> 00:35:09,920
And so you just come down. I'm at five point

722
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,000
forty four Main Street in Middletown, Connecticut.

723
00:35:12,199 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: Okay.

724
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 2: The website is bpslife dot com and some great stuff

725
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,960
on there. So all my merch on there are from

726
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,960
other artists as well. Okay, so this kind of grows

727
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:27,079
into everyone else's platform, and I don't take any of

728
00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:29,599
their money, you know, I take whatever I would have

729
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,960
because we make everything in house. So whatever the customer

730
00:35:34,039 --> 00:35:36,280
is buying, we take it. We take it off the

731
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,400
VIC you know what we would have charged you anyways

732
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:39,239
as a merchandise.

733
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what I mean.

734
00:35:40,559 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: So everybody platforms. It's like because that other one Etsy,

735
00:35:44,159 --> 00:35:46,280
everybody uses Etsy. And I was like, no, no, no,

736
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,599
this is all wrong. We gotta do this right here

737
00:35:49,639 --> 00:35:52,280
on the ground level, right, so you know, check out

738
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,599
some of that stuff on there, because it's artists sharing

739
00:35:54,599 --> 00:35:57,039
each other's work. But that's the best way to reach me.

740
00:35:57,119 --> 00:35:59,360
Either drop in and say stop what you're doing. I

741
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,960
need to talk to you. I like that best. I'm

742
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:02,760
old fashioned.

743
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that's great. That's great. Before we run

744
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:11,719
out of time too, let me just ask you, so,

745
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,239
what what do you want Anything that we didn't talk

746
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,159

754
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,280
nostalgic for me to be here, so I'd love to

755
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,159
get some artists from up here to come down there.

756
00:36:41,159 --> 00:36:44,280
We just want to cross pollinade, I said the other day. Yeah,

757
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,599
it's it's the biggest thing. You know. We do everything

758
00:36:46,639 --> 00:36:49,920
local in Connecticut, but I lived here for most of

759
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,199
my adult life, so I would love to be able

760
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:57,800
to Manchester. Yeah. I'm originally from Lynn, mass but they

761
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,679
forced me here in fifth grade. Oh no, I did

762
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,400
not come easily, but Lynn never come out the way

763
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,239
went in asked for water, We'll give you Gin. Never

764
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:10,239
trust a girl from Lynn. But yeah, so for me,

765
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,280
it's just reach out. I want. Everybody's like, oh, well,

766
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,679
what kind of genres? All genres. I don't care if

767
00:37:15,679 --> 00:37:16,880
you made up your own genre.

768
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

769
00:37:17,599 --> 00:37:19,880

771
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:26,199
roster of other labels and everything we're doing. You know,

but they were down there with Sepsis and a couple

788
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,280
of bands. It was a great show.

789
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,039
Speaker 1: Last time I saw them, no joke, was like fifteen

00:38:10,119 --> 00:38:13,320
years ago because I used to do I used to

791
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,239
promote a lot of shows like I used to do shows. Well,

792
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,840
you probably remember the Uptown Tavern.

793
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:18,159
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I worked there.

Speaker 1: When we may have, we may we've probably met, we

797
00:38:25,119 --> 00:38:27,079

798
00:38:27,119 --> 00:38:27,920
