and we are live from the studios of WMNH ninety

35
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,519

37
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,000
of course at the news table, and we have Brian

38
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:49,560
here with us. Let's see if that mike is working. Brian,

39
00:04:49,639 --> 00:04:49,959
how are you?

40
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 8: Hey, how's it going?

41
00:04:51,519 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 10: I'm doing well? How about yourself?

42
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 4: There we go, now I can hear you all right,

43
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,040
Brian is So we were talking off air about I

44
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:01,240
was trying to figure out if I was saying your

45
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:04,720
name correctly, and so it turns out I wasn't, but

46
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:10,759
I was because so you professionally you go by Brian Blansky. Yes,

47
00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:13,600
but the way I was saying it, Biolanski is actually the.

48
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's how you say it correctly in Poland, and

49
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,199
it is a Polish name. So I'm doing the Midwestern

50
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,079
americanized accent version.

51
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 4: Well fair enough, but we do have listeners in Poland.

52
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:29,680
I believe.

53
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:30,639
Speaker 8: Awesome.

54
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 4: I made that up, but it's nice to think we do.

55
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:34,439
I mean, it's the internet.

56
00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:38,639
Speaker 10: Well, I definitely promoted this show on my social media

57
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,120
pages and do have quite a few followers in Poland.

58
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:43,920
So hopefully, hopefully now there are some listeners there if

59
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:44,600
there weren't before.

60
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 4: There you go, there you go. Yeah, you're on a

61
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,519
big national tour, right or you're going everywhere yet?

62
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,319
Speaker 10: Well this fall it is a Midwest, East Coast and

63
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,199
Canada tour. I actually just got back from Edmondston, New Brunswick,

64
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:02,279
playing a show up there last night. Okay, so so yeah, yeah,

65
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:04,519
all over the place, just trying to promote the new

66
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,720
album Brian's Super Happy Fun Time for.

67
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, no, I love it. It's very very catchy

68
00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:14,279
stuff fun songs. Didn't have to make any radio edits,

69
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:14,920
which is nice.

70
00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:18,319
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, you know, I always try to be polite

71
00:06:18,439 --> 00:06:21,879
to the to my my friends in the radio there,

72
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,639
make everything FCC friendly.

73
00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 4: Where are you from.

74
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 10: I am from Charlotte, North Carolina. That's my home.

75
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 8: We have listeners there, we do, we do?

76
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, that is true.

77
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:40,079
Speaker 10: Listen, yes, yes, excellent, All right, well, hello Charlotte listeners

78
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:41,079
and that is.

79
00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 4: A that is a verifiable fact. So is that where

80
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,319
you currently live?

81
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 10: That is my home base? Yeah, so though saying I

82
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:51,319
live there is is kind of a stretch. I'm there

83
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,920
maybe a few weeks out of the year. The rest

84
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:56,279
of the time, I'm just traveling across the country, And

85
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,120
like we were talking off the air, did a europe

86
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,920
tour early this year too, So yeah, I spend most

87
00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:04,000
of my time traveling and playing music. But yeah, I

88
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,120
do call Charlotte home at the end of the day

89
00:07:07,319 --> 00:07:08,439
for a few weeks at least.

90
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,839
Speaker 4: How long have you been doing this full time touring?

91
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,439
Speaker 10: Twenty twelve is when I made the big plunge and

92
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,360
decided to go from being a part timer like weekend

93
00:07:17,439 --> 00:07:20,720
Warrior to just kind of being a nomad and kind

94
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,279
of living on the road more or less.

95
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 4: Was it scary at first?

96
00:07:24,519 --> 00:07:24,639
Speaker 3: Oh?

97
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,839
Speaker 10: Yeah, it's still scary.

98
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,199
Speaker 4: It's still yeah, especially at first.

99
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 10: I mean, you get used to a lot of aspects

100
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:38,079
of it, and honestly, the aspect of not doing it

101
00:07:38,319 --> 00:07:41,639
is scarier to me than all the things that folks

102
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:45,759
might consider scary about being on the road. But yeah,

103
00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:48,439
you get used to it and it's great. It's a

104
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,040
lot of hard work, but it's a lot of fun too.

105
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 4: Have you been touring steadily since twenty twelve? So actually

106
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,519
the pandemic probably we know that.

107
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, we know.

108
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,759
Speaker 10: There was a little break for that, and I actually

109
00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:04,759
have been touring steadily since things reopened from COVID. Pre COVID,

110
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,399
it would get to see, I've gotten better about the

111
00:08:07,519 --> 00:08:10,360
business aspect. At first in twenty twelve, I'd be on

112
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,600
tour for like nine months, run out of money, have

113
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,160
to work a couple months at my old job, and

114
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:18,199
then go on tour another seven months. You know, Yeah,

115
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,879
it depends, you know, But lately, you know, I think

116
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,480
I've made every financial mistake there was to make as

117
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,879
being a traveling musician. So now I, like, you know,

118
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,519
know how to weather the storm, if you know, some

119
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,679
years are better than others. Sure, but but yeah, yeah,

120
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,679
since since things reopened after COVID, this is this has

121
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:37,960
been it.

122
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 5: Yeah.

123
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're making it work, certainly, and that's great.

124
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 10: Good for you, Thank you, Good for you.

125
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 4: Well do you want to play something live for us?

126
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:45,879
Speaker 11: Well?

127
00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 10: Absolutely, yeah, sure, I'm going to do a song from

128
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:51,960
my last album, Brian's Super Happy Fun Time three, the

129
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:54,759
predecessor to the new one, and this song is called

130
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,039
rock the Library. It's a song about how I hang

131
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,759
out in the libraries all day before my shows because

132
00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:03,120
it's a great place to get some work done, hang

133
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,879
out for free, and even every once in a while,

134
00:09:06,039 --> 00:09:07,159

00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:31,279
Speaker 5: I love it.

176
00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:32,759
Speaker 8: Thanks y'all, Thank you very much.

177
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,759
Speaker 4: Brian Blanski is here with us live in studio. If

178
00:11:35,799 --> 00:11:38,639
you're just joining us and uh, yeah, libraries are do

179
00:11:38,759 --> 00:11:40,879
you have you found that there aren't as many as

180
00:11:40,919 --> 00:11:41,480
there used to be.

181
00:11:42,519 --> 00:11:45,639
Speaker 10: Oh no, there seem to be plenty of libraries. The

182
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,480
only thing I've noticed it was, well, you know, a

183
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,799
lot of them are not open for as many hours.

184
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,120
Yeahs as they used to be. A lot of the

185
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,000
public libraries are closed on Sundays, which but you know, honestly,

186
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,279
I also do a university libraries a lot too, because

187
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:04,120
they're often like open till late at night. So like,

188
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,639
if I have an early show, I stopped by college library,

189
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,080
pull out my laptop and you know, start sending emails,

190
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,840
took book and promote shows. That's pretty much how I

191
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:14,919
keep things going.

192
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, Well, now do you have a because a

193
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,679
lot of the people who listen to the show are

194
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,440
musicians or people who are aspiring to do what you do, Like,

195
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:27,279
do you have advice for maybe somebody who's just starting

196
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,440
out who wants to be able to do what you

197
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,440
do in terms of touring nationally, hitting the road. You

198
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,840
know you mentioned mistakes that you made, especially you know

199
00:12:36,039 --> 00:12:37,799
earlier early in your career.

200
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 8: Oh.

201
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 10: Absolutely, my advice to anyone that wants to you know,

202
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,960
do music full time.

203
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,639
Speaker 4: Just pretty much it's all I do.

204
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 10: More or less. You know, if I'm not driving city

205
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,399
to city or playing shows, I'm just I'm on my laptop,

206
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,000
laptop promoting and booking shows. So I literally, you know,

207
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:01,559
don't have a lot of downtime. And yeah, I just

208
00:13:01,759 --> 00:13:04,879
spend all my time just you know, working hard at it.

209
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,960
And whatever you focus on, I thinking, if it's music

210
00:13:08,039 --> 00:13:11,799
or anything, if you devote your entire focus to whatever

211
00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:15,000
your goals are, then I mean it's bound to happen,

212
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,519
like you know, little by little. And my other advice is,

213
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,639
do not let any rejections or anybody who you know

214
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,639
saying something mean about your music or about you as

215
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,320
a person. Don't let that deter you because a lot

216
00:13:27,399 --> 00:13:30,919
of the times the people are probably just jealous. So yeah,

217
00:13:31,039 --> 00:13:32,960
don't let any of that stuff bother you. And just

218
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,200
work hard and keep a positive attitude and you know,

219
00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:39,399
stay calm when challenges arise. That's my advice.

220
00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:43,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, thank you. Yeah, I think that that too

221
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,080
kind of gels with what you know. In the first hour,

222
00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:51,000
our guest six Minds Combined, who's kind of an alternative

223
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:55,679
hip hop artist from the area. He said something similar

224
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,480
about you know, really keeping positive and not you know,

225
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,519
not letting rejection or criticism affect you. But but he

226
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,600
talked about how, you know, the way he really got

227
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,039
into his career was he had gotten into some trouble

228
00:14:10,759 --> 00:14:12,480
a long time ago and he ended up having to

229
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,639
do community service. And he had to do community service

230
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,600
with a place called Positive Street Art, which is where

231
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,919
he met someone with whom he collaborates with musically and

232
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,759
so forth. And it's just kind of snowballed from there,

233
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,320
and how approaching it. He talked about how approaching everything

234
00:14:28,679 --> 00:14:32,240
positively really enables him to have the career that he

235
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:32,840
has now.

236
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 10: And that's the truth. And I think you know that,

237
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,879
like like it's true in anything you do that if

238
00:14:39,919 --> 00:14:42,200
you stay positive and you treat people the way you

239
00:14:42,279 --> 00:14:43,919
want to be treated. I mean, I know there's a

240
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,080
lot of people in you know, the music business and

241
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,960
in any business that you know, we'll try to get

242
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,559
ahead at the expense of other people. But and that

243
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,360
might work for the short term, but in the long term,

244
00:14:54,399 --> 00:14:58,759
I think, you know, in karmically and and just also

245
00:14:59,039 --> 00:15:02,559
you know, people talk, so when people do rude things

246
00:15:02,679 --> 00:15:04,879
or treat people poorly, I mean it's a small world.

247
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,240
It's much smaller than you'd expect.

248
00:15:07,399 --> 00:15:11,519
Speaker 4: The Internet has made it very small indeed. Indeed, yeah, yeah, no,

249
00:15:11,639 --> 00:15:13,320
I think you bring up a good point about how

250
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,039
you treat people, because it's so much of it is

251
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:21,799
about building relationships and having a strong reputation, you know,

252
00:15:23,279 --> 00:15:26,720
because yeah, you know, people talk and well, it's quite true.

253
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 10: And one thing I've seen in shows where I'm playing

254
00:15:30,279 --> 00:15:32,480
with other musical acts and maybe some that are, you know,

255
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,840
more famous than I am, but I've seen a lot

256
00:15:34,879 --> 00:15:37,799
of musicians treat their fans poorly, like they can't be

257
00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:40,279
bothered with them, and that just always boggled my mind.

258
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,879
I'm like these people that like, like, your music is

259
00:15:43,039 --> 00:15:45,960
the reason why you're doing what you're doing. So anytime,

260
00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:48,399
like somebody you know, tries to reach out to me

261
00:15:49,279 --> 00:15:52,360
and express that they like my music, I try my

262
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,600
best to express my appreciation for them, because if it

263
00:15:55,679 --> 00:15:58,600
wasn't for those people, I wouldn't be doing what I'm

264
00:15:58,639 --> 00:15:59,679
doing right right.

265
00:15:59,679 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 4: Exactly how many do you have any idea how many

266
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,240
songs you've written? It looks like from what I see online,

267
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:07,600
it looks like you've written quite a few.

268
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,639
Speaker 10: Exactly one hundred and eighty published songs.

269
00:16:10,799 --> 00:16:11,039
Speaker 8: Wow.

270
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 10: Yes, Before I was a solo artist. I had a

271
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,720
band for many years, so most of those songs are

272
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:20,799
the old band. I still play a few of those

273
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,759
old band songs here and there in in my live sets.

274
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,080
But yeah, one hundred and eighty.

275
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,759
Speaker 4: And you've probably written I imagine you strike me as

276
00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:31,440
someone who writes a lot. You've probably written a lot

277
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:32,759
that you haven't even recorded yet.

278
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,879
Speaker 10: I would think, well, yeah, it's it's funny you mentioned that,

279
00:16:35,919 --> 00:16:38,720
because Brian's super happy. Fun time for the new album.

280
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,399
It just came out last month, and as soon as

281
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,399
I was done recording the album this summer, I just

282
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,679
got a like a flood of new song ideas. I'm like,

283
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:49,720
that always happens too. I'm like, oh, man, why could

284
00:16:49,759 --> 00:16:52,720
have I wrote this one before the album and put

285
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:55,879
it on this album? But yeah, I definitely have almost

286
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,120
the whole next album written whenever, whenever I find the time,

287
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,320
in the in the need to record it, you know,

288
00:17:01,399 --> 00:17:03,919
it's definitely I've got the songs all set.

289
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:05,079
Speaker 4: Where do you record?

290
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,079
Speaker 10: So most of my songs I record in Charlotte. There's

291
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:15,759
a studio called Catalyst Recording, and my producer Rob Tavlion

292
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,480
down there and we've been working together for almost twenty

293
00:17:19,559 --> 00:17:22,319
years since the old days with my old band, and

294
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,200
he does a great job. I always like to say

295
00:17:24,279 --> 00:17:27,960
he's like the George Martin of the Southeast United States.

296
00:17:28,759 --> 00:17:32,240
He's great. I mean, he collaborates, he plays percussion on

297
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:35,920
a lot of the songs on the albums. And this

298
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,119
last album actually I did the whole thing at his studio.

299
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,720
It was a better year financially because sometimes I just

300
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:46,359
do the radio singles, like the standout tracks at his

301
00:17:46,519 --> 00:17:49,079
studio and then I'll self record the rest of the

302
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,279
album in my home studio. But this year treated me okay,

303
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,480
So I actually got to do the whole album at

304
00:17:54,559 --> 00:17:55,240
Rob's studio.

305
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,279
Speaker 4: Oh outstanding.

306
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 10: Neat, Yeah, it was a neat.

307
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 4: What was the band that you were in? What did

308
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:01,519
what did you guys sound like?

309
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,039
Speaker 10: So the band was called Anguish with a W A

310
00:18:05,279 --> 00:18:09,480
G wish and it was punk rock slash hard rock.

311
00:18:09,599 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 8: Oh kind of band?

312
00:18:10,599 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 10: Yes, yes, so I definitely did like a one to

313
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,160
eighty as far as like the lyrical themes, like you know,

314
00:18:16,319 --> 00:18:19,440
now it's Brian super happy fun time, whereas like you know,

315
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,720
the old band was more like angry, screaming punk rock

316
00:18:22,799 --> 00:18:23,640
songs and stuff.

317
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:24,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, so.

318
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,799
Speaker 10: Actually the final album as a band I got to

319
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,599
do with the late great Steve Albini back in twenty sixteen,

320
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,519
no kidding, and that was so yeah, he was. He

321
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,039
was a great guy too. I mean he did so

322
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,759
much for independent music and he was really pleasant guy

323
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:43,680
to work with. He was just ultra professional, had a

324
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,160
lot of input and ideas for a lot of the

325
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,680
songs we recorded there. So it was a great way

326
00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:50,759
for me to like end that chapter of my life,

327
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:53,400
to get to something a dream I'd always had. Is

328
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:55,000
my favorite engineer by far.

329
00:18:55,279 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 4: That's fantastic that you got to work with Steve Albini.

330
00:18:57,839 --> 00:18:59,920
That's great. He's just past.

331
00:19:00,039 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 10: It was a couple of years ago, right, it was

332
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,200
earlier this year.

333
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:03,839
Speaker 5: Actually, oh it was earlier this year. Wow.

334
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 4: Wow. And then so after that, so the band was

335
00:19:08,519 --> 00:19:11,599
that after having that experience, was that kind of like, well,

336
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,519
there's nowhere else to go with this or.

337
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:16,519
Speaker 10: Well, actually what it was? You know, I mentioned I've

338
00:19:16,559 --> 00:19:20,440
been touring live since twenty twelve, and you know it

339
00:19:20,599 --> 00:19:23,480
was like half and half band and solo because basically

340
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,400
I'd set up tours as my band, but bandmates would

341
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,880
just like flake out halfway through the tour because the

342
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,000
living life on the road at the level that I

343
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,839
do it, it can be a little grueling and it's

344
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,799
not for everybody. So basically, band members would quit and

345
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,000
I'd be left like just showing up to the places

346
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,160
alone with my acoustic guitar, like, yeah, my band bailed

347
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,240
on me, but I'm here. I still want to play.

348
00:19:46,279 --> 00:19:48,319
And I just got the epiphany. I was like, you know,

349
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,880
why don't I just do this right?

350
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 4: You know, right?

351
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,519
Speaker 10: And it's it's been a lot easier logistically since I

352
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,319
just started being a solo artist. Yeah, and then of

353
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,279
course on the albums, I'm I'm doing the instruments, like

354
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,960
the track we played to start the show, I'm doing drums, bass,

355
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,759
lead guitars. So I still get to kind of have

356
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,039
fun in the studio, like like I'm a full band,

357
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,119
laying each track down one at a time Paul McCartney style.

358
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,440
Uh but uh but yeah, when I'm live, this is

359
00:20:16,599 --> 00:20:18,440
this is what I do. I got my acoustic guitar

360
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,559
and i'ms singing and playing my songs.

361
00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard with you know, I've been in bands

362
00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:25,200
and somebody I forget who it was now. Somebody on

363
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,359
the show described describe the challenge of it, you know,

364
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,920
in terms of scheduling and all of it. It's like

365
00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:33,000
being like if you're in a band with three other people.

366
00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:35,480
It's like it's like being in a it's like being

367
00:20:35,519 --> 00:20:40,400
in three separate relationships, and those with with people who

368
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,599
are all in three separate relationships.

369
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,079
Speaker 3: You know.

370
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 4: It's it's just it's it's hard. It's really hard.

371
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,599
Speaker 10: It's so hard. And it's sad too because the last

372
00:20:50,079 --> 00:20:52,200
incarnation of my band, we were just a two piece.

373
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:53,960
It was just me and a drummer. But still it

374
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,000
was just uh, you know, like I said, it's more

375
00:20:57,079 --> 00:21:00,240
like you know, sleeping in a vehicle and you know,

376
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,880
not you know, dealing with all the you know, pressures

377
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,400
of the road. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's

378
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,400
a fun time too, but there's a lot of things

379
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,759
that I think, you know, quote unquote normal people might

380
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,920
might find just they could you know, deal with it

381
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,240
on a daily basis. Yeah, so so yeah, But but

382
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,440
you know what you said was one hundred percent true, Like,

383
00:21:20,519 --> 00:21:24,240
you know, trying to you know, manage all the schedules

384
00:21:24,319 --> 00:21:26,240
and it is it's like it's like being in a

385
00:21:26,319 --> 00:21:30,279
family and being or being like in a relationship. So

386
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,359
it's tricky. I mean, and uh, a lot of my

387
00:21:33,519 --> 00:21:37,000
ex bandmates are are still like very supportive come to

388
00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:40,119
my shows when I'm around in Charlotte. So yeah, definitely

389
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,079
like not you know, a lot of amicable breakups, just

390
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:45,640
kind of like hey, Brian, I just can't do this,

391
00:21:45,839 --> 00:21:49,519
not not like you know, yeah, like I can't stand you.

392
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,319
Speaker 4: Well that's good. Is the material that you recorded with

393
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,200
Anguish is that still available online?

394
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:57,759
Speaker 8: Oh?

395
00:21:57,839 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 4: Yeah absolutely.

396
00:21:59,279 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 10: As a matter of fact, accidentally, because I didn't understand

397
00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:06,480
how all the digital distribution worked at the time, my

398
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,839
first solo album is actually under the old band, which

399
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,480
is yeah, I like, little mistake on my party, I said,

400
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,000
I think I made every mistake. I was like, oh,

401
00:22:16,039 --> 00:22:18,599
I didn't know. I had to create a brand new

402
00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:23,160
uh you know, identity online for my new uh my

403
00:22:23,279 --> 00:22:25,880
new projects. So so yeah, but yeah, all that stuff

404
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,400
if anybody wants to, uh see it, but I will

405
00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:32,079
warn anybody that that stuff is not family friendly, like

406
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,480
the Brian super happy fun stuff. So just a fair

407
00:22:35,519 --> 00:22:37,880
warning to anyone because there's a lot of like younger,

408
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:39,000
younger listeners.

409
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 2: Uh.

410
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 10: These days, I've been playing a lot of shows at

411
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,720
things like you know, churches and schools and and things

412
00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:48,559
like that. So definitely, I just like to say parental

413
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,359
advisory for the the earlier stuff. There's there's some clean stuff,

414
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,440
but yeah, a lot of it was punk rocks. So yeah,

415
00:22:55,759 --> 00:23:00,559
it's enough said. I guess understood, understand. Well, do you

416
00:23:00,599 --> 00:23:02,319
want to play another one for us? I'd love to

417
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:03,240
hear another song.

418
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,279
Speaker 4: Absolutely sure.

419
00:23:04,319 --> 00:23:07,319
Speaker 10: I'm gonna just do one more from the last album,

420
00:23:07,799 --> 00:23:12,240
and this one is called Baby I'm your super Mario.

421
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,720

Speaker 7: I'm your super Mario.

Speaker 8: Fabe I'm your super Mario.

443
00:25:05,279 --> 00:25:11,839
Speaker 4: Now, Ryan Blansky live in studio with us here on

444
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,880
this Saturday morning on Matt connorton Unleashed. Yeah, I'll tell

445
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:18,279
you if if you're gonna write a song about a

446
00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:20,000
video game, it makes sense to do that one because

447
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,920
it's timeless. Yeah you know what I mean, Like like

448
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,960
Super Mario goes back to when I was a kid.

449
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:26,599
Oh yeah, me at me too.

450
00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:31,039
Speaker 10: And ironically that when that song came out on my

451
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,920
my last album last year, I had no idea there

452
00:25:34,039 --> 00:25:37,279
was a Super Mario movie coming out, and it actually

453
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,799
came out just about the same month that the movie

454
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,839
came out. I was like, oh, really, what a coincidence,

455
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,160
But it worked out. I think that's the most popular

456
00:25:45,559 --> 00:25:48,599
song as far as the digital streaming sites go, which

457
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,720
is which is kind of neat. I like it, and

458
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,640
once again, you know, yeah, I used to love playing

459
00:25:54,759 --> 00:25:56,480
video games as a kid. Not a lot of time

460
00:25:56,559 --> 00:25:59,799
to play video games now with the organizing, you know,

461
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,599
three hundred shows a year, So instead I write, write

462
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,240
and play songs about him instead.

463
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that makes sense. Yeah, and video games can

464
00:26:07,839 --> 00:26:11,279
be highly addictive too, so probably better.

465
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 8: No doubt.

466
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 10: Well, you know what, I love video games, and I

467
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,519
feel like the fact that I was so into them

468
00:26:17,559 --> 00:26:19,680
when I was a kid has like really helped me,

469
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,079
you know, with with my booking and my promoting, like

470
00:26:24,279 --> 00:26:27,519
you know, surfing the internet trying to find you know,

471
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,640
radio TV stations and venues, like at the faster I

472
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,839
can find their emails, I'm like, it's kind of like,

473
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:34,839
you know, jumping out of the way of the Koopa

474
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,480
Troopa and Super Mario. Is are you fast enough to

475
00:26:37,519 --> 00:26:39,200
do that? Are you fast enough to find the right

476
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,440
place before another band books it? Kind of thing right? Right?

477
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 5: Yeah?

478
00:26:43,039 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 4: No, that makes sense. That makes sense in your experience,

479
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:50,839
you know, because again you were started touring in twenty twelve,

480
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,640
and then of course, you know, the pandemic kind of

481
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,000
caused that break and then and then you got back out.

482
00:26:57,079 --> 00:27:01,240
Is is touring different post pandemic in terms of like

483
00:27:01,839 --> 00:27:04,559
I hear people complain that some venues have closed and

484
00:27:05,039 --> 00:27:05,839
you know that kind of thing.

485
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,559
Speaker 10: You know, Yes, I think if I'm not mistaken, and

486
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:13,440
I could be wrong about this, but I believe that,

487
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:17,680
like you know, pre COVID that I think one third,

488
00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:21,160
close to one third of all venues in the US

489
00:27:21,839 --> 00:27:24,920
closed down. Now there are new ones popping up to

490
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,079
which is great, but yes, sadly, I mean venues that

491
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,039
I'd played at for years and years that I had

492
00:27:30,079 --> 00:27:33,440
great relationships with went out of business because they just

493
00:27:33,519 --> 00:27:36,880
could not weather the storm. I mean, you know, the

494
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,119
COVID thing. Really it killed a lot of venues, which

495
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,559
is sad. But you know what, like I said earlier

496
00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:45,440
about the advice, you know, I mean, there's you just

497
00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:49,599
keep going. There's a well, like I said, I've started

498
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,559
playing a lot of places that a lot of musicians

499
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:57,319
don't even think about playing, like schools, homeless shelters, hospitals.

500
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,960
So you know, there's and I think a lot of

501
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,039
musicians probably don't want to play those kinds of places

502
00:28:03,079 --> 00:28:05,039
for whatever reason. But to me, those are some of

503
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,160
the most fun shows and some of the most appreciative

504
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,119
audiences at places that don't typically get musicians.

505
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:18,759
Speaker 4: No, that makes sense. Is there a particular place or

506
00:28:18,839 --> 00:28:20,799
type of place that you've played that really kind of

507
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,599
surprised you where you you it ended up being a

508
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,680
better experience than you thought, you know.

509
00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:29,319
Speaker 10: And it's funny. I have a song where I list

510
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:34,359
off all the different interesting places. Yes, I've played grocery stores.

511
00:28:34,559 --> 00:28:39,200
I played a laundromat once, you know, a dentist office

512
00:28:39,279 --> 00:28:41,720
waiting room in Mexico. I was able to get a

513
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,920
play for the people waiting to get their dental work

514
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,400
done and got a discount for doing the concert, So

515
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,039
that was kind of Yeah. And to me, like the

516
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,440
more unique of a place, like, the more fun it is.

517
00:28:54,319 --> 00:28:56,119
And like I said, I've been having a lot of fun,

518
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,880
you know, doing doing the shows at like homeless shelters

519
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,279
and hospitals and rehabilitation centers, just you know, trying to

520
00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:06,519
think about people in the population that that, Like I said,

521
00:29:06,519 --> 00:29:08,640
a lot of musicians don't think about playing for them,

522
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:10,799
and I like to you know, I like to, uh

523
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:12,079
to do those kind of shows.

524
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh that's awesome. And while you're while you're on

525
00:29:17,119 --> 00:29:21,400
the road, do you do you primarily do shows by

526
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,759
yourself or do you have anybody you team up.

527
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:28,759
Speaker 10: With or anybody with mostly it's so when I'm traveling,

528
00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:31,759
it's just me in my car going city to city.

529
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,960
Most of my shows are me just performing on my

530
00:29:36,079 --> 00:29:38,279
own and I you know, my concerts can be anywhere

531
00:29:38,319 --> 00:29:40,640
from like an hour and a half, two hours to

532
00:29:40,839 --> 00:29:44,279
uh I've done up to five hours. Really a five

533
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,759
hour concert. A few of those, Yeah, those are few

534
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:48,799
and far between, but I have done a couple of them.

535
00:29:49,119 --> 00:29:51,319
Sometimes I do play shows where I'm playing a shorter

536
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,839
set and there's other musicians or bands on the bill

537
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,119
with me, but uh, typically it's I'm doing the longer

538
00:29:58,279 --> 00:29:59,400
concerts where it's just me.

539
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,319
Speaker 4: Wow, no kidding. You've done shows was five hours?

540
00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:06,799
Speaker 10: Five hours? Yeah, one in one in New Mexico and

541
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,000
one in Wyoming.

542
00:30:08,319 --> 00:30:11,759
Speaker 4: Wow, that's like Springsteen in the eighties, you do those

543
00:30:11,839 --> 00:30:12,640
five hour shows.

544
00:30:13,079 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know.

545
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,839
Speaker 10: It was uh yeah, there's something else and but yeah,

546
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,359
I love a challenge, so you know when they were uh,

547
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,960
one of the venues was like, hey, are our next

548
00:30:24,039 --> 00:30:26,759
band canceled? Can you just play five hours instead of

549
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,880
two and a half. I was like, I'm on it.

550
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 4: Wow, wow, no kidding. I hope they paid you for it.

551
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:33,839
Speaker 10: I did get paid.

552
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, which was a great part.

553
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:37,759
Speaker 10: That's definitely a great part of that.

554
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's awesome. Well you want to you want to

555
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,119
play another live one for us?

556
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 10: Absolutely, I'll uh you know this next song that I'm

557
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,079
gonna carry on with here. This is one from the

558
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,839
brand new album uh Brian, Super Happy Fun Time four

559
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,119
and uh this is a little bit more of a

560
00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:58,279
like a serious song. I guess it's it's my version

561
00:30:58,359 --> 00:31:00,839
of a we are the World uh kind of song

562
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,559
about how I wish everyone in the world would get

563
00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:05,640
together or get along better.

564
00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 8: You've gotta give a little love and you get a

565
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,279
little love. So what are you.

566
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 5: Thinking of.

567
00:31:37,799 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 8: Commands from heaven above?

568
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 11: You've gotta give a little love. Well, I don't think

569
00:31:52,799 --> 00:31:59,920
that it's too late. Things in our world could be great.

570
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:09,759
Speaker 7: Well, if we pray for peace, the wars, in hunger,

571
00:32:10,079 --> 00:32:11,319
all mesies.

572
00:32:11,839 --> 00:32:14,839
Speaker 8: You gotta give a little love.

573
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 5: And you get a little love.

574
00:32:23,079 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 8: So what are you thinking of.

575
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,319
Speaker 7: Commands from heaven above?

576
00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:37,359
Speaker 8: You've gotta give a little love.

577
00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 10: I know we can do it.

578
00:32:45,359 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 8: Let's put all my suit with sisters and brothers, be

579
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:52,839
good to each other.

580
00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:56,079
Speaker 10: I know we can do it.

581
00:32:56,799 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 13: Let's put on my suit and make the world a

582
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:08,359
better place, a better place for every one.

583
00:33:11,599 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 8: You gotta give a little love and you get a

584
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:31,200
little love. What are you thinking of commands from having above?

585
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,319
You gotta give a little love.

586
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:55,839
Speaker 4: I like that, Thank you. That's something we could we

587
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:56,839
could all use, right.

588
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,799
Speaker 10: Yeah, give a little love from the new album there.

589
00:34:00,119 --> 00:34:02,680
It's it gets tricky too because most people know me

590
00:34:02,799 --> 00:34:06,240
for my my happy go lucky like semi silly songs.

591
00:34:06,319 --> 00:34:09,039
So but I felt, like, you know, doing a serious

592
00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:10,400
song here and there is okay.

593
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 4: No, I think, uh and very appropriate.

594
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 10: I think thank you, thank you very much.

595
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 4: Absolutely. If you are just joining us on the Saturday morning,

596
00:34:18,039 --> 00:34:21,119
we have Brian Bolanski here with us live in studio.

597
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,639
Where do you now? Where do you go from here? Brian?

598
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:26,639
Because you said so your last show was in Canada?

599
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:27,159
Speaker 10: Is that right?

600
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 14: Yeah?

601
00:34:27,599 --> 00:34:31,159
Speaker 10: Last night played in Edmundston, New Brunswick.

602
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:31,519
Speaker 14: Uh.

603
00:34:32,039 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 10: After I leave the show here, I am headed to Swansea,

604
00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:39,079
New Hampshire, where I will be playing at the West

605
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,400
La Beer Company today from three pm to six pm.

606
00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 4: Oh wow, okay, very cool, very cool.

607
00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 10: Yeah yeah, and it's it's great to be back in

608
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:49,360
New Hampshire.

609
00:34:50,199 --> 00:34:52,159
Speaker 4: How much of the how much of the country have

610
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,760
you like, do you keep track of how many states

611
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:55,320
you've played it?

612
00:34:55,519 --> 00:34:59,760
Speaker 10: Oh, yes, that's something uh that it is a matter

613
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,280
of fact. I list them all out in the bio.

614
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,360
It's been forty nine states and twenty five countries abroad

615
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,239
that I've performed in.

616
00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 4: Wow, what's the one state you haven't hit?

617
00:35:09,679 --> 00:35:10,199
Speaker 10: Alaska?

618
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 4: Alaska.

619
00:35:11,079 --> 00:35:13,039
Speaker 10: Yeah, but they're they're not going to get away from

620
00:35:13,079 --> 00:35:16,440
me forever. I'll eventually get there. They're they're they're in

621
00:35:16,519 --> 00:35:17,000
my sights.

622
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 15: Yeah.

623
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,519
Speaker 4: How many times? Like how many times have you gone

624
00:35:20,519 --> 00:35:21,599
overseas to do tours?

625
00:35:22,199 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 10: So this this year would have been my fifth time

626
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,880
going overseas to uh to Europe.

627
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:30,519
Speaker 3: Uh.

628
00:35:30,639 --> 00:35:35,159
Speaker 10: And I've done one Central American and one Asian tour

629
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,800
in the past, and I'd love to uh love to

630
00:35:38,119 --> 00:35:41,639
get back to Asia and Central America was was pre COVID,

631
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,960
So I'd love to get back to both those places.

632
00:35:44,039 --> 00:35:46,880
And you know, I've still still got Australia and Africa

633
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,000
and South America and you know, to to get to

634
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:56,239
and then finally Antarctica eventually. Okay, So yeah, yeah, that's

635
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,719
my my life stream is to perform in all seven continents. Well,

636
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,039
still here.

637
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,039
Speaker 4: Do the challenges they come with touring and change when

638
00:36:06,079 --> 00:36:10,360
you go like Central America or is it all I mean?

639
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,719
Or is it the same challenges but just more severe?

640
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:14,440
Shall we say?

641
00:36:15,199 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 7: Uh?

642
00:36:15,559 --> 00:36:18,119
Speaker 10: You know, it's kind of the same. Like Luckily, well

643
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,639
Central America. I'm not great speaking Spanish, but I'm a

644
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,960
little bit better at Spanish than any other language.

645
00:36:25,119 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 4: Okay, you know I think language well, Luckily.

646
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 10: A lot of people abroad speak English is a second language,

647
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,519
so that between that and me, I always try to

648
00:36:35,639 --> 00:36:38,159
learn at least a little bit of every country I

649
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,559
go to. That got a little trickier when I was

650
00:36:40,599 --> 00:36:44,280
in places like Finland and Latvia, and even like Poland

651
00:36:44,559 --> 00:36:49,079
was really tricky. French and Italian and German a little

652
00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:53,159
bit easier, a little bit closer to English. But but yeah,

653
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:56,360
I always make sure I sing in English. But when

654
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,960
I'm talking to the audience in between songs, I always

655
00:36:59,119 --> 00:37:02,079
learn how to say. This next song is from my

656
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,480
my last album. As a matter of fact, yesterday in

657
00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:08,960
New Brunswick, I was in a French speaking part of

658
00:37:09,079 --> 00:37:12,039
the province there, so I got to practice my French

659
00:37:12,079 --> 00:37:16,239
again last night speaking to the audience there. But you know,

660
00:37:16,519 --> 00:37:19,119
same kind of challenges. I just do a lot of

661
00:37:19,199 --> 00:37:22,679
online research and find venues, and after I get my

662
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,519
venues booked, I try to find you know, radio newspapers

663
00:37:26,599 --> 00:37:29,559
and stuff to promote the shows and uh and yeah, yeah,

664
00:37:29,599 --> 00:37:31,480
it's just it's a labor love, a lot of a

665
00:37:31,559 --> 00:37:32,320
lot of hours spent.

666
00:37:32,639 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 7: Yeah.

667
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:38,039
Speaker 4: Wow. What what was the most challenging place that you've

668
00:37:38,039 --> 00:37:39,320
played geographically?

669
00:37:39,559 --> 00:37:43,679
Speaker 10: Oh, I would have to say Thailand when I was there,

670
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,760
just it was it was trickier to find venues there. Luckily,

671
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,840
I had kind of like boots on the ground. I

672
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,480
had some friends that lived in Thailand and and they

673
00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:56,360
were the ones that helped me book the majority of

674
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,960
my shows in Thailand, So it would have been a

675
00:37:59,039 --> 00:38:01,480
lot more challenging of I didn't have friends already there

676
00:38:01,599 --> 00:38:04,199
kind of like you know, going to places like in

677
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,960
person and and you know talking me up to different

678
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,719
music venues. So so that was kind of challenging. But

679
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,920
it was also probably one of the most fun countries

680
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,840
abroad really just because it was you know, such a

681
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,119
different culture and uh, and the people there were so friendly,

682
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,039
so amazing, and great food too.

683
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:23,519
Speaker 16: Yeah.

684
00:38:23,639 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh that's awesome. That's awesome. You want to play

685
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:26,920
another one?

686
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:28,199
Speaker 8: Sure?

687
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,159
Speaker 10: Absolutely? So this next song that I'll carry on with.

688
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,079
This is from my album two albums ago, Brian's Super

689
00:38:35,119 --> 00:38:39,679
Happy Fun Time Too, and this was the main single

690
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,960
from that album. It's called Elf Girlfriend.

691
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 17: She's an elf in the woods and she's magic. If

692
00:38:53,559 --> 00:38:59,800
she turned be away, it be tragic. I feel that

693
00:39:00,199 --> 00:39:04,519
God known her for years, really like her point of years.

694
00:39:04,679 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 8: She's an oath in the woods.

695
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:13,280
Speaker 17: I discovered she's an oe. Now I think I'm gonna

696
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:19,519
love her. I know she lives inside a tree. That's

697
00:39:19,679 --> 00:39:21,280
really came with me.

698
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:32,199
Speaker 10: Well, I'm so intrigued, and I never knew.

699
00:39:33,639 --> 00:39:34,800
Speaker 5: That she exists.

700
00:39:36,159 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, it's true because my life was bad, but

701
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:46,920
now it's cool. Well, I don't what I gotta do.

702
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 17: She's an oath in the woods and she's magic, and

703
00:39:55,079 --> 00:39:58,960
she turned me away, it be tragic.

704
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:01,599
Speaker 7: I feel like.

705
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 17: God known her for years, really like her pointy years.

706
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:14,199
Speaker 8: She's an out prettier than Princess El. I'm quasi modo.

707
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:20,679
She's as moral. I know she lives inside a tree.

708
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:25,360
That's really okay with me. She's my elf. She's my

709
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,840
elf golfriend.

710
00:40:29,199 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 5: She's my elf.

711
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 8: She's my elf gouffriend. She's my elf, she's my.

712
00:40:37,039 --> 00:40:43,159
Speaker 17: Health goffriend girlfriend.

713
00:40:43,159 --> 00:40:46,519
Speaker 8: Dum very nice, very nice, Thank you very much.

714
00:40:47,079 --> 00:40:50,199
Speaker 4: Did you meet an actual elf in the woods? H?

715
00:40:50,519 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 10: No, that songs it is a fairy tale.

716
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 4: Okay, that did not.

717
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 10: Actually, even though most of my songs are actually you know,

718
00:40:58,559 --> 00:41:02,119
I'm singing them all from my own perspective, so that one.

719
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

720
00:41:02,639 --> 00:41:08,599
Speaker 10: Actually, when COVID hit in twenty twenty and nobody was

721
00:41:08,639 --> 00:41:11,280
sure if things were going to open soon or not,

722
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,880
of course they wind it up. Not so I spent

723
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:18,719
many months camping in national forests, and I like to

724
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,079
do a lot of research on anything I'm doing, and

725
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,840
I kept researching that a lot of people would see

726
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:28,519
supernatural creatures in the national forests, and some of them,

727
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,519
most of almost all of them were like bigfoot sasquatch,

728
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,079
scary threatening things. And then you'd hear a few people

729
00:41:36,159 --> 00:41:38,320
talk about like the pixies and fairies and like the

730
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,960
more benevolent kind of creatures. And I've always been a

731
00:41:42,039 --> 00:41:44,480
fan of supernatural stuff, so I was like, well, let

732
00:41:44,519 --> 00:41:46,360
me do a song about, you know, instead of like

733
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,079
a big scary bigfoot, if there was like a benevolent

734
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,800
creature in the woods. So yeah, fit little fairy tale

735
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,360
song there. When I was bored in the woods for

736
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,880
three months dur the COVID quarantine.

737
00:41:58,199 --> 00:42:01,079
Speaker 4: Oh very cool. Do you remember the first song.

738
00:42:01,039 --> 00:42:01,599
Speaker 5: You ever wrote?

739
00:42:02,599 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 8: Oh?

740
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 10: I do, actually, yes, I do, Uh, the first good one,

741
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,519
you know. I guess there was like some proto songs.

742
00:42:10,199 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: But but yes, I I actually do.

743
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 10: I you know, used to write them all down in

744
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,239
notebooks and and yeah, that's a very good question. I

745
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,760
actually do remember, what I think, at least the first

746
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,039
one that that you know was written down and and everything.

747
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely did it? Did it survive or did you leave?

748
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 10: As a matter of fact, I had resurrected it and

749
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,599
put it on the very first Brian super happy fun time.

750
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,440
Oh cool, Yeah, you know, and it's funny too a

751
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,480
lot of times, you know, when I release music, I

752
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,280
like to release albums. I know a lot of musicians.

753
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,679
I guess I'm old fashioned that way. A lot of

754
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,559
musicians these days just like to do singles and EPs.

755
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:50,760
But uh, I don't know from from what I hear,

756
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,119
you know, albums are still the way to go, because

757
00:42:54,159 --> 00:42:57,360
I look at albums kind of like a painting, and

758
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,880
one song is like, you know, one thing in the pa,

759
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,159
like one of the tree in the landscape painting or whatever.

760
00:43:03,639 --> 00:43:05,440
So I like to do that, and a lot of

761
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,639
times I'll go back to like my really early songs,

762
00:43:08,199 --> 00:43:11,000
and you know, when I'm trying to, you know, I'm like, oh,

763
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,360
I need I need three more songs for this album.

764
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,239
I'm like, wait a minute, right, that part of that

765
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,760
song was good, This part of this song was good.

766
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:21,840
So sometimes I frankenstein songs together too. Yeah, yeah, but

767
00:43:22,199 --> 00:43:23,159
it did survive. Yeah.

768
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 4: A subject that comes up a lot on the show is,

769
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,320
you know, because we live in a time where there's

770
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,320
so many different strategies you can use for releasing music,

771
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:33,159
and you know, some artists just do EPs, or some

772
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:36,320
just do singles, or or some of our guests that

773
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,519
we've had in recent years, their strategy is to release

774
00:43:39,559 --> 00:43:42,440
a series of singles that eventually become an album, kind

775
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,679
of the inverse right of what we're used to traditionally.

776
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:50,760
Speaker 10: But indeed, and I've done that before in the past,

777
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,199
and yeah, there's no wrong way to do things. Of course,

778
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:55,400
what I've been doing. As a matter of fact, last year,

779
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,360
I put out the album full album Brian's Super Happy

780
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,119
Fun Time three, but I also out an EP of

781
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,079
all non album tracks. I'm a big Beatles fanatic, and

782
00:44:05,159 --> 00:44:07,679
one thing I loved about them is that their EPs

783
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,079
and their singles were almost always things that were not

784
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,239
on their albums. They like they wanted to make sure

785
00:44:13,639 --> 00:44:16,559
their their customers were getting their you know, getting their

786
00:44:16,599 --> 00:44:17,199
money's worth.

787
00:44:17,559 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 4: So that's something I do.

788
00:44:18,599 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 10: If I ever do an EP or a single, I

789
00:44:20,559 --> 00:44:22,800
try to make sure that it's not something that you

790
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,880
can just get on the album and make your fans

791
00:44:26,039 --> 00:44:29,159
buy something twice, right, thing, right, So that's something I

792
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:29,880
tried to do too.

793
00:44:30,159 --> 00:44:33,199
Speaker 4: That's like a British thing. I feel it is, because

794
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:34,760
you know a lot of yeah, a lot of British

795
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:40,719
artists would do that, not not even necessarily then, but

796
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,000
even in more recent years like Oasis when what went

797
00:44:44,159 --> 00:44:46,239
well of course, if Jesus was back in the nineties

798
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,280
now when Oasis first got big, seems like more recent,

799
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,360
but I noticed, uh, they right from the beginning did that.

800
00:44:54,079 --> 00:44:56,719
Like one of my favorite Oasis song, which happens to

801
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,559
be Acquiesce, was originally the B side. You know, it

802
00:45:00,639 --> 00:45:02,400
eventually came out on the Best Of album, but it

803
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:06,559
was originally a B side that was not not released

804
00:45:06,679 --> 00:45:07,599
on an album.

805
00:45:07,519 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 10: No kidding, you know, and I'm and yeah for me

806
00:45:11,679 --> 00:45:15,920
like Nirvana another one of my big, big inspirations, and

807
00:45:16,039 --> 00:45:18,440
I loved like to me that was like just the

808
00:45:18,559 --> 00:45:21,480
best thing, getting a single with a B side that

809
00:45:21,559 --> 00:45:23,480
you could not get anywhere else, and me like, this

810
00:45:23,639 --> 00:45:25,880
is the best song. Why is it just on the

811
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,679
B side to the single? It seems like the B

812
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:29,159
sides are always the best songs.

813
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:31,119
Speaker 5: We should uh.

814
00:45:31,559 --> 00:45:35,039
Speaker 4: So we're running out of time. I'd love to get

815
00:45:35,079 --> 00:45:37,599
you to play one one more, but before we do that,

816
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:40,519
I want to make sure our listeners know too where

817
00:45:40,559 --> 00:45:42,440
to go online to keep up with everything that you're

818
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:45,480
doing if they want to follow you on tour. You know,

819
00:45:45,519 --> 00:45:47,559
obviously we're local here in Manchester, but we have a

820
00:45:47,559 --> 00:45:49,679
lot of listeners online in other parts of the country

821
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,199
who might you know you might be coming to their area.

822
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,599
So I want to make sure everybody knows exactly where

823
00:45:54,639 --> 00:45:55,800
to find Brian Blanski.

824
00:45:56,559 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 10: Great, thank you and.

825
00:45:57,559 --> 00:45:58,079

Speaker 18: I broke, but I'm not broken. Broken, don't breaking. I

926
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:21,159
left the gun smoking. My blood runs open scars, don't

927
00:53:21,199 --> 00:53:21,639
heal right?

928
00:53:22,199 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 3: Right?

929
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,639
Speaker 18: Can't get it to steil tight, rub tokens together, hoping

930
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:28,760
for luck, but the deal's light. Falling like a steel pipe,

931
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:32,400
I fall hard through a skylight window covered in glass shards.

932
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:35,119
Too much dancing with the devil left my ass chard

933
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,400
into the road. Asked my maker to make it in

934
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,159
less painful instead, an angel came and sang me songs

935
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,719
until I fell asleep, helped me get up. Instead of

936
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,360
rain clouds, there was a rainbow. So I crawled till

937
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,880
I could walk. Now, I let this guitar weak.

938
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 15: As I lay dying, as I lay dying, As I

939
00:54:29,559 --> 00:54:34,920
lay dying, as I laid dying, But it.

940
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,559
Speaker 19: All falls down, and the ground starts quaking, and my

941
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,360
soul of wickeds, and the sky starts breaking, and the

942
00:54:40,679 --> 00:54:43,199
eyes are watch and the time I've taken is not

943
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,000
be given living these times we seem to bind. Prize

944
00:54:46,079 --> 00:54:48,480
ribbons were driven from riches and sinning. And this isn't

945
00:54:48,519 --> 00:54:51,039
why we live in this prison. This inim envision, it's

946
00:54:51,119 --> 00:54:53,719
like an incision, like if I get in. Prescriptions seem

947
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,559
to make us painfree, but mainly remind us that we

948
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:57,400
isn't in fame.

949
00:54:57,519 --> 00:54:59,760
Speaker 2: We checks and dragons that have no emotion.

950
00:55:00,159 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 19: Was what sober soldiers This cappa cheese, and they chosen formulas.

Speaker 5: There's no fearing.

953
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:09,159
Speaker 19: My eyes accent dispairing, the spies walking through paring, the

954
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,320
lies are bearing disguise. I taste the tears rolling down

955
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:15,679
their cheeks, kiss them away, keep loves so deep, I said,

956
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:16,599
