I started the band in twenty fourteen. 40 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,319 Basically I put out a couple of songs just me 41 00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:09,520 and an acoustic guitar, and there was a battle of 42 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,639 the band's online Battle of the Bands over Foxwoods and 43 00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:18,759 I ended up placing fourth out of like like one 44 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,479 hundred and eighty nine bands. Yeah, which was just mind boggling. 45 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: So it was you just submitted, You just how to 46 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,120 submit your music. 47 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 2: That's that's all I did. Okay. So they called me 48 00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:31,199 up and said, yeah, we're going to do a live 49 00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:33,280 Battle of the bands over Foxwoods, you know, in a 50 00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:35,560 couple of weeks. You know, we'll see you you and 51 00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:38,199 your band there. I hung up the phone all excited, 52 00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:43,039 and then I went, wait, I need a band. Oh 53 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,159 my god, yeah, so it. You know, it took a 54 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,960 few days to get a few guys in on the project. Unfortunately, 55 00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,080 everyone that was part of the band at that point 56 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,199 of all coming gone, you know, done, you know, gone 57 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,639 on to do their own things. Sean has been a 58 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,759 close friend of the band for many years doing his 59 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:14,039 own band in Man, but recently, over the last two 60 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,199 years or so, I've needed new bandmates and Sean was 61 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:24,199 the first person I called. And we're actually currently looking 62 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,360 for a keyboard player, synth player, but you know, we're 63 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,759 trying out drummers currently because, as you mentioned, the Terminus 64 00:03:31,759 --> 00:03:35,319 show on the nineteenth, we're going to be saying goodbye 65 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:41,280 to the drummer we currently have, Joe Soferano, mainly because 66 00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:45,520 he's just in way too many projects. He's in the Megans, 67 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,840 who are going to be playing the show with us, 68 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,280 He's in Guello. I think he's I can't remember if 69 00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:55,039 he's full time or part time with Rags to Stitches, 70 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,599 but you know, he's in a lot of other projects. 71 00:03:58,639 --> 00:04:02,000 And with the amount of shows that we're planning on doing, 72 00:04:02,319 --> 00:04:05,719 it was just it was better if if he out. 73 00:04:05,719 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: It's funny because that comes up. This subject specifically comes 74 00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:11,360 up all the time on the show. Every drummer is 75 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,759 in like ten different bands. 76 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,519 Speaker 2: They gotta be Yeah, yeah, they're a they're a rare 77 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,519 resource in this area right now. 78 00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:21,959 Speaker 1: Well, my my theory is, and longtime listeners have heard 79 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000 me say this a thousand times, but you know, when 80 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,800 you're growing up and you first become interested in playing 81 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,199 a musical instrument, you go to have the conversation with 82 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,720 your parents about what you're going to play. 83 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: If it's drum if it's the. 84 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: Drums or the tuba, they're going to try to talk 85 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:36,000 you out of it. 86 00:04:36,079 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely. 87 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,759 Speaker 1: So that's my theory because yeah, every drummer is in 88 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:41,839 you know, ten different bands. 89 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, my dad was a drummer, so it's you know, 90 00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:46,639 he knows what it's like to stretch himself thin in 91 00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:48,160 like multiple projects. 92 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 93 00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 2: But but yeah, basically the band was started by me 94 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:59,800 just I started writing stories and basing my music around these. 95 00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:00,959 Speaker 1: Yeah. 96 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,759 Speaker 2: Henry Miller said the best way to get over a 97 00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:05,000 woman is to turn her into literature. So I did 98 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,519 that with all my hurts, habits, hang ups, all my bullies, 99 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:15,199 all my traumas, PTSD, my depression, my nightmares, my addictions, 100 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:20,079 and made all of these feelings, all of these past 101 00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:25,240 characters and whatnot in my life into citizens of this 102 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,319 cursed town. Okay, I can't leave. And all of our 103 00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:31,040 music is based around the people and events that happen 104 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:31,720 in this town. 105 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,959 Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah. Something we talk about a lot on the show. 106 00:05:36,959 --> 00:05:38,319 It comes up quite a bit. In fact, it came 107 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,360 up with Dan from the band Horror in the last hour. 108 00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:44,560 Is talking about, you know, taking problems and doing something 109 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,680 creative with them, whether it be you know, and I 110 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,639 get you know, I'm someone who struggles with depression, so 111 00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:50,800 I can certainly relate to that aspect of it. But 112 00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:53,360 taking you know, whether it's that, whether it's some sort 113 00:05:53,399 --> 00:05:55,759 of trauma, whatever it is, you know, taking these things 114 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,680 that happened to us, but then doing something creative with them, 115 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,079 actually making something out of them that other people can 116 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,079 then relate to and enjoy. You know, I think that's 117 00:06:06,079 --> 00:06:07,360 the best therapy that there is. 118 00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:10,360 Speaker 2: Really, That's exactly what I say, you know, whenever I 119 00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:13,279 get off stage, you know, people will approach me and 120 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,120 tell me how, you know my songs are helping them 121 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,040 in some way through their depression. And we played a 122 00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:25,199 show in Maine recently and a young woman. Won't go 123 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,199 into details on her name or anything, but a young 124 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:34,040 woman approached me and told me how she had had 125 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:40,480 been thinking about ending her life and she felt very sorry. 126 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,639 She felt very attached to a couple of our songs 127 00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:47,360 and made her feel better. Really, that is basically the 128 00:06:48,079 --> 00:06:50,439 key element of what I try to do. I try 129 00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:53,160 to help people who feel like I feel, think how 130 00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:56,360 I think, feel better and try to make it through 131 00:06:56,399 --> 00:07:00,759 the day just a little easier. Yes, yeah, so I 132 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,920 but I say it all the time. It's like this 133 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:07,639 is the best form of therapy there is absolutely was that? 134 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,199 Was that your goal from the beginning? Or it kind 135 00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:15,639 of become that the gray curtain? Yes, I've been in 136 00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:20,399 fourteen bands and a wow?

But 141 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,639 but no. I come from a long line of musicians, 142 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,800 all of my My uncle Smokey used to play in 143 00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:48,240 his own band, Smoking in the Rangers, in the Irish 144 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,279 Club in Putnam. It's no longer there, but he got 145 00:07:53,279 --> 00:07:55,600 me on stage at five years old singing Frosty the 146 00:07:55,639 --> 00:08:00,480 Snowman at a Christmas event and I got hooked.

We like to do 187 00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:11,519 a little bit of jazz, We like to do a 188 00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:14,879 little bit of swing. You know. It basically depends on 189 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:18,440 the character in the story that that song pertains. Ye, 190 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:25,279 But yeah, it uh, it's it's really difficult because you 191 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:31,840 want people to be connected and you want people to 192 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,960 to help each other, especially in this scene, you know, 193 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,759 between all the states in New England. But it's it's 194 00:10:40,799 --> 00:10:43,559 really tough sometimes because it doesn't feel like that's the 195 00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:47,039 case and in a lot of in a lot of instances. 196 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,919 Speaker 1: But well, you're doing something unique too. I mean, you know, 197 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,879 I can't think of anyone who sounds quite like you guys, 198 00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:58,639 which is awesome, which I love. And I'm curious, Sean, 199 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,919 is this the most unique project you've ever been a 200 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,919 part of? Yeah? 201 00:11:03,279 --> 00:11:04,639 Speaker 2: Probably, I would have to say. 202 00:11:04,639 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 5: So. 203 00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 6: You know, I've been, like, like you mentioned before, I 204 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,039 was in a band Inman before that was kind of 205 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,960 more of a you know, a straight forward, modernized grunge band, 206 00:11:18,159 --> 00:11:20,600 where I feel like the stuff we're playing in this 207 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:25,720 is definitely a little more, uh, a little more difficult to, 208 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,000 like you said, find someone who sounds quite like it. Yeah, uh, 209 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,720 And I feel like there's a lot of different influences 210 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,600 that go into the sound. So there's it's really easy 211 00:11:35,639 --> 00:11:36,840 to have a lot of fun with it, you know. 212 00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 2: It's uh. 213 00:11:38,919 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 6: Definitely definitely doesn't get redundant any at any point. 214 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: Right right, Yeah, absolutely, Well we should play something now, 215 00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:53,279 you uh what should because you had you had suggested 216 00:11:53,399 --> 00:11:57,279 uh in your email a few songs.

Shadow of a Man is more autobiographical. However, 338 00:21:24,279 --> 00:21:27,799 in twenty twelve, I went through a downward spiral where 339 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:34,799 I attempted suicide. I was caught, but I based Shadow 340 00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:38,640 of a Man on what happened to me during that time. 341 00:21:38,839 --> 00:21:43,519 I lost the love of my life. She is currently 342 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:45,680 not speaking to me because of the man that I 343 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,880 was back then, rightfully so. 344 00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 3: And I. 345 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 2: Based the character Nathan Knoth on me. His name originally 346 00:21:58,039 --> 00:21:59,599 was going to be Nough Guile, but I thought that 347 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,319 was a little on the nose because that's my last 348 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,119 name backwards. 349 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: Oh no kidding, but. 350 00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:08,839 Speaker 2: But yeah, the the album takes place in the last 351 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,480 day and a half of Nathan's life. 352 00:22:11,079 --> 00:22:15,079 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's what should we know about this song. 353 00:22:15,079 --> 00:22:16,599 I'm gonna play the opening, and I think we should 354 00:22:16,599 --> 00:22:18,079 know about this specifically. 355 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 2: The opening takes place. Well, I wrote the opening before 356 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,680 I even had like an idea of like the storyline 357 00:22:24,759 --> 00:22:31,440 or anything like that. It was basically my my acceptance 358 00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:35,640 that I have a rare form of cancer, and I 359 00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:38,920 know that my timeline is not as long as a 360 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,759 lot of other people. So I wrote the opening as 361 00:22:41,839 --> 00:22:45,720 a way to kind of come to terms with seeing 362 00:22:45,799 --> 00:22:49,400 the light and knowing that as much as I fight, 363 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,319 one day, this is going to end. So I have 364 00:22:52,519 --> 00:22:54,839 to enjoy what I have while I have it. 365 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:55,519 Speaker 1: Okay. 366 00:22:55,720 --> 00:23:01,079 Speaker 2: And the opening, as far as the storyline, takes place 367 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,160 right around the end of the story where Nathan is 368 00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:06,119 accepting death. 369 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so let's give this a listen.

And we have Dennis and 389 00:28:04,839 --> 00:28:07,799 Sean from the Gray curtain here with us alive in 390 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,319 studio this morning, and uh wow, that's that's pretty epic 391 00:28:12,559 --> 00:28:14,519 as we're listening to that, Dennis, I'm curious to know 392 00:28:14,599 --> 00:28:18,039 more about your your singing and where do you take 393 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,519 influences from in terms of your vocal approach. 394 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:28,400 Speaker 2: Well, growing up, I I was kind of bombarded with 395 00:28:28,559 --> 00:28:32,960 old school country, No Show, Jones, Patsy Kline, Roy Orbison. 396 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:39,319 So thus a lot of my lyrical content is sad 397 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:46,720 by nature as theirs were. But then as I got older, 398 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,960 I started finding my own influences, uh in soul music 399 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:58,160 and jazz and blues. And then as I became a teenager, 400 00:28:58,279 --> 00:29:02,640 I started listening to at all more often. But really 401 00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:05,960 I started getting into the kind of stuff that I'm 402 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,480 doing currently because of things like Rocky Horror Picture Show. 403 00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:13,839 You know, the first time I the first time I 404 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:19,200 saw Meatloaf, I was enamored. I wanted to know everything 405 00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:22,240 there was to know about this guy from Bad Out 406 00:29:22,279 --> 00:29:25,759 of Hell one, two, even three. You know a lot 407 00:29:25,759 --> 00:29:27,839 of people don't talk about three, but that's a good album. 408 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:29,799 Speaker 14: You know. 409 00:29:30,039 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 2: I enjoy musicians who wear their heart on their sleeve 410 00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:38,319 when they're on stage, or you know, just when they're 411 00:29:38,319 --> 00:29:42,839 writing a song, they're trying to not so much make 412 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,960 you dance or make you feel happy or anything. They're 413 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:51,680 trying to invoke an emotion. Former band member of the 414 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:57,319 Great Curtain actually got me into Stephen Wilson from Porcupine Tree, which, yeah, 415 00:29:57,519 --> 00:29:59,279 which is one of Sean's favorite bands. 416 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:00,359 Speaker 7: Yeah. 417 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:05,279 Speaker 2: First time I saw Stephen Wilson perform, he did the 418 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:11,039 song called Routine, and I could actually feel my heart 419 00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:13,759 get just ripped out of my chest. 420 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:14,079 Speaker 7: Yeah. 421 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,359 Speaker 2: And a lot of people don't go to a show, 422 00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:20,640 you know, wanting that, but I do. I want to. 423 00:30:20,799 --> 00:30:24,920 I want to feel an experience when when I go 424 00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:25,519 to a show. 425 00:30:25,839 --> 00:30:26,039 Speaker 1: Yeah. 426 00:30:26,839 --> 00:30:31,359 Speaker 2: So, and and that's where my where I take a 427 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,279 lot of my influence from, uh, you know, seeing Rent 428 00:30:34,359 --> 00:30:37,920 on Broadway, you know, uh, and then the very next 429 00:30:38,039 --> 00:30:41,119 day going to see you know, Metallica play at Woodstock 430 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:46,200 ninety nine. You know. I It's basically like those two 431 00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:50,000 things are what makes uh makes the Great Curtain. Yeah, 432 00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:53,319 you know that heavy edge with the emotional baggage. 433 00:30:53,559 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 1: Yep, yep? Did your approach change it all between these 434 00:30:57,519 --> 00:31:00,480 two albums? I mean, obviously they have different themes, but. 435 00:31:01,839 --> 00:31:06,839 Speaker 2: Well, my old band members, did we did all the recording, 436 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,000 did all the mixing. Uh So, you know, all of 437 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:15,920 the what's the word I'm looking for? All all of 438 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,839 the kudos goes to them for the way that these 439 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:25,799 albums sound as far as production, but as far as approach, yeah, 440 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,839 we the first album, we basically went into it like 441 00:31:30,079 --> 00:31:33,319 we we need to get this sound out there. A 442 00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:36,279 lot of people are asking for some sort of hard copy, 443 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,519 and by the time we got to the second album, 444 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,960 nobody listens to a hard copy anymore, you know. So 445 00:31:42,119 --> 00:31:45,319 we only got maybe like fifty copies of the second 446 00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:48,000 album and we were like throwing them around at people. 447 00:31:48,519 --> 00:31:50,759 A lot of people just listen to uh to our 448 00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:57,440 streaming sure today. But the approach was basically, just like 449 00:31:57,559 --> 00:32:03,279 with the characters. The first album was very melodramatic, very dark, 450 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:08,319 very Ecker Allen Poe. The second is very horror movie. 451 00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:14,400 It's very it's very John Carpenter, it's very you know, 452 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:19,839 Stephen King. And that's what we try to do, you know, 453 00:32:20,039 --> 00:32:22,160 as far as like what I try to do when 454 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,559 I'm developing a story. The one that we're currently working 455 00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:28,400 on is about two killers, and they both have two 456 00:32:28,559 --> 00:32:34,759 lists that they have to complete. The main protagonist antagonist 457 00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:38,799 excuse me, the main antagonist of the story basically allows 458 00:32:39,119 --> 00:32:42,240 one of them to go free of this town that 459 00:32:42,559 --> 00:32:45,079 they can't that no one in the town can escape, 460 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,920 and the first killer that can complete their list of 461 00:32:49,039 --> 00:32:52,519 ten is allowed to leave the town no strings attached. 462 00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:56,720 So we're able, you know, we're able to take from 463 00:32:57,359 --> 00:33:00,680 that brief description of the storyline and go, okay, well, 464 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,880 what kind of album is this going to be? You know, 465 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,480 what kind of songs are we going to put together 466 00:33:06,599 --> 00:33:09,799 for this? And uh and this is going to be 467 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,519 more of like action type of I don't want to say, 468 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:20,119 gory type of thing, but a lot more intense album 469 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:20,920 than the other two. 470 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, will you be recording? Well, where did you 471 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,680 record the newest one? 472 00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 2: In my former drummer's house. Okay, he had a recording 473 00:33:34,039 --> 00:33:39,440 studio in the basement of his house and we and 474 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,359 we mixed in the sun room like a sun porch. 475 00:33:43,799 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh, so you see you did the entire album there, yep, yeah, okay. 476 00:33:48,599 --> 00:33:50,839 Speaker 2: The whole thing was was homemade. 477 00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 7: Yeah. 478 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't have to go to a studio obviously 479 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,359 with this next batch of songs not going to be 480 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:03,400 the case, but uh, but you know, and and the 481 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,000 worst part too, is like I still love those guys, 482 00:34:06,359 --> 00:34:09,800 you know, I I've got I got nothing, nothing but 483 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,719 love for everybody.

You 493 00:34:54,079 --> 00:34:56,320 know who knows we I was obviously gonna have to 494 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,039 go to a studio. 495 00:34:58,159 --> 00:35:00,639 Speaker 1: Well you've got plenty of options. That's a good new Yeah. 496 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, I keep hearing people tell me, you know, oh, 497 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,639 you should go here, you should go here, you should 498 00:35:05,639 --> 00:35:08,880 go here. But you know, right right now, we're still 499 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:12,079 in Like I think we've only got like seven songs, 500 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,599 and I want this thing to be you know, it's 501 00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:18,239 kind of a moot thing to say nowadays, with physical 502 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,480 copies being you know, the thing of the past. I guess, 503 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:22,800 which makes me sad. 504 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,719 Speaker 1: What a lot of the a lot of our guests 505 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:29,119 are still putting out, you know, physical copies of CDs. 506 00:35:29,199 --> 00:35:31,559 But but I think my theory though, is I think 507 00:35:31,639 --> 00:35:34,039 most most of those never actually get played. It's just 508 00:35:34,119 --> 00:35:36,480 if you're really a fan of somebody, it's nice, you know. 509 00:35:36,559 --> 00:35:39,119 Same thing with vinyl, Yeah, I mean vinyl. I think 510 00:35:39,159 --> 00:35:42,840 now vinyl is out selling CDs. Yeah, but if you buy, 511 00:35:43,039 --> 00:35:45,599 if you buy somebody's vinyl, a brand new vinyl in 512 00:35:45,639 --> 00:35:47,679 the package, it probably you know, most people I'm sure 513 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,840 never even open it. They just it's because they're such 514 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,760 a big fan of that artist. It's cool to have 515 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,440 the vinyl. Yeah, absolutely, ye kind of collected. 516 00:35:54,519 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 2: But yeah, you you explained it a lot better than 517 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,559 I did, where it's like, yeah, people are still I 518 00:36:00,639 --> 00:36:02,440 still have CDs, I still have tapes. 519 00:36:02,599 --> 00:36:02,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. 520 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 2: One of our main crew guys, his name is Fully 521 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,639 shout out to Fully. He his wall is nothing but 522 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:13,800 cassette tapes. You know, he's got vinyl for days.
