- 5:09SPEAKER_05: Because she's not allowed to sit in the seat, right?
- 5:11SPEAKER_05: There's only one seat.
- 5:12SPEAKER_05: She's not allowed to sit in the front seat in other vehicles.
- 5:15SPEAKER_05: And I said, Yeah, and you should have seen the look on her face when we w when we drove out of that driveway, she was right in heaven.
- 5:19SPEAKER_05: I bet.
- 5:20SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 5:21SPEAKER_05: Until, you know, is it a standard stick?
- 5:28SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's why.
- 5:28SPEAKER_03: Yeah.

- 5:33SPEAKER_05: See, kids today don't get it.
- 5:35SPEAKER_05: I know.
- 5:36SPEAKER_05: You know, back when we were kids, every car was a standard.
- 5:38SPEAKER_05: The the automatics were hard to come by.
- 5:40SPEAKER_03: Well, not hard to come by, but they were they were they were it was like the exact opposite of the way it is now.
- 5:46SPEAKER_05: Right, right.
- 5:47SPEAKER_05: Everything is automatic now.
- 5:48SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 5:48SPEAKER_03: Back then it was more a stick than automatic, but it was but uh it's funny because when we were kids, you know, seat belts, meh.
- 5:58SPEAKER_03: We talked about that actually.
- 6:00SPEAKER_03: I remember I remember sitting in my dad's lap driving the car.
- 6:03SPEAKER_03: Of course.
- 6:04SPEAKER_03: You know, yeah when I was a kid.
- 6:05SPEAKER_03: I remember lying in the back seat or the back window.
- 6:09SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 6:09SPEAKER_03: It was that big.
- 6:10SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 6:11SPEAKER_03: I could as a little kid, I could lie in the back window.
- 6:13SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 6:14SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
- 6:15SPEAKER_05: My daughter, nine years old, uh we're on our way over there to uh swim lessons, and she says, Is it is it's um um okay to sit in the back of the pickup?
- 6:24SPEAKER_05: And I said, No.
- 6:26SPEAKER_05: Um I said, it's it's illegal.
- 6:29SPEAKER_03: And it's only illegal if you get caught.
- 6:32SPEAKER_05: Right, right, right.
- 6:33SPEAKER_05: But then she says, But you did it right when you were a kid.
- 6:35SPEAKER_05: I was like, Yeah, well, well, it wasn't illegal then.
- 6:37SPEAKER_05: No, yeah, we all didn't.
- 6:38SPEAKER_05: No, I said we did that all the time.
- 6:39SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 6:40SPEAKER_05: I said, we did worse than that.
- 6:41SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 6:42SPEAKER_05: And then she says, Well, you guys didn't even have seat belts.
- 6:44SPEAKER_05: I said, Well, we had them.
- 6:45SPEAKER_05: We just didn't wear them.
- 6:46SPEAKER_03: We didn't get them.
- 6:47SPEAKER_05: You know, and I was trying to explain.
- 6:50SPEAKER_05: I was trying to explain to her, you know, seatbelts are smart.
- 6:52SPEAKER_05: It's smart to wear a seatbelt.
- 6:54SPEAKER_05: Um I don't think it should be like illegal not to, because that's that's your own Yeah, you know.
- 7:02SPEAKER_03: I uh but cars back then were built a little bit differently.
- 7:06SPEAKER_03: They were, you know, they weren't all aluminum and you know, they were more solid.
- 7:11SPEAKER_03: I mean when you hit when you got in a car accident, you got in a car accident.
- 7:15SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 7:16SPEAKER_03: And you had to hit something hard.
- 7:17SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 7:18SPEAKER_03: You know what I mean?
- 7:18SPEAKER_03: Otherwise you were like, oh, what was that?
- 7:20SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 7:21SPEAKER_03: You know, if we had hit a moose in an one of our old cars when we were kids, yeah, the moose would have died instantly.
- 7:27SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 7:27SPEAKER_03: Probably sent into orbit, right?
- 7:29SPEAKER_03: And we would have drove home.
- 7:30SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 7:31SPEAKER_03: Because it'd be like a torpedo.
- 7:33SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 7:34SPEAKER_03: We'd be like, What?
- 7:35SPEAKER_03: Did we hit something?
- 7:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 7:36SPEAKER_03: Did you hit a pothole?
- 7:37SPEAKER_03: I don't think so.

- 11:03SPEAKER_03: Why would I take Bob?
- 11:05SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 11:06SPEAKER_03: He didn't take me to Ireland, so I'm not taking him to Steve Vai.

- 11:17SPEAKER_03: A couple hours.
- 11:18SPEAKER_03: I don't think so.

- 11:21SPEAKER_03: I hate being in Bar Harbor in the summer, though.
- 11:23SPEAKER_05: I know.
- 11:23SPEAKER_05: It's touristy.
- 11:24SPEAKER_03: This man sucks.
- 11:26SPEAKER_05: It's packed.
- 11:26SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 11:27SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 11:27SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 11:27SPEAKER_03: So I'll I'll I'll think about it.
- 11:29SPEAKER_05: All right.
- 11:30SPEAKER_05: Well, you know, I'm not gonna hold you to it.
- 11:31SPEAKER_03: No.
- 11:32SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I might go.
- 11:33SPEAKER_03: But I'm definitely I'm definitely considering going to Henry Rollins.
- 11:36SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 11:37SPEAKER_03: I think that would be cool.
- 11:38SPEAKER_03: That would be it's his spoken word tour, so it'd be cool.
- 11:41SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 11:41SPEAKER_03: I've always enjoyed his spoken word.
- 11:44SPEAKER_05: Uh I'm trying to see if there's anything because I'm looking at um waterfront concerts, which which is obviously Henry Rollins is not going through them.
- 11:52SPEAKER_03: No, he because he's not.
- 11:53SPEAKER_03: I would be a little disappointed if he did.
- 11:55SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 11:56SPEAKER_05: Um what was I gonna say?
- 11:59SPEAKER_05: Oh, let's talk about our show.
- 12:01SPEAKER_05: The Mapleton Days.
- 12:02SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 12:03SPEAKER_05: Almost forgot.
- 12:04SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we played.
- 12:05SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we did.
- 12:06SPEAKER_05: We played last Saturday.
- 12:07SPEAKER_05: Uh it seems like our our motto is uh still in place.
- 12:12SPEAKER_05: Well, I think we shouldn't change our name to the Rainmakers.
- 12:15SPEAKER_05: Yeah, honestly.
- 12:16SPEAKER_05: Because it's like if you want if you need some, you know, if you're in a drought and you need some rain.
- 12:22SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they should send us to play drought ridden places like that.
- 12:24SPEAKER_05: Right, just book the Star City Syndicate.
- 12:26SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 12:27SPEAKER_03: I think I think I think the big test is if they dropped us in the middle of the Sahara Desert, it would monsoon.
- 12:34SPEAKER_03: They'd be like, oh what is going on?
- 12:38SPEAKER_05: So they had to move us again.
- 12:40SPEAKER_05: Uh they moved us in.
- 12:41SPEAKER_03: At least they had a rain location.
- 12:42SPEAKER_05: Yeah, they did have a rain location.
- 12:44SPEAKER_05: Uh well, I think they had to because I think they already paid us.
- 12:49SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 12:49SPEAKER_03: I mean, either way, but I mean, you know, at least they had the forethought to you know, something.
- 12:54SPEAKER_05: It was a small place, but we made it work.
- 12:57SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we've played there before.
- 12:58SPEAKER_05: We have played there before, not the way we played this this time.
- 13:01SPEAKER_05: We played better at a better setting this time.
- 13:04SPEAKER_05: Uh and it was a pretty good crowd.
- 13:07SPEAKER_05: It was so hot in there.
- 13:10SPEAKER_05: It was sweltering hot.
- 13:11SPEAKER_03: Uh and we had bad for that one lone AC.
- 13:14SPEAKER_03: Yeah, right.
- 13:16SPEAKER_05: Um That was an exercise in futility.
- 13:19SPEAKER_05: We had some uh guests, musicians.
- 13:21SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 13:22SPEAKER_05: Uh young lady uh named Bella who uh sat in on trumpet.
- 13:25SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that was great.
- 13:26SPEAKER_03: Which was a surprise for me.
- 13:27SPEAKER_03: I didn't know that.
- 13:28SPEAKER_03: Oh, I didn't know that either, because everyone was like, Oh yeah, Kevin brought something in like, what?
- 13:32SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 13:32SPEAKER_05: But you know, hey, I mean more than marriage.
- 13:35SPEAKER_03: Exactly.
- 13:35SPEAKER_03: She's what, going into seventh grade?
- 13:36SPEAKER_03: Going into seventh grade.
- 13:37SPEAKER_03: She's only been playing trumpet a couple years.
- 13:39SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 13:39SPEAKER_03: She did great.
- 13:40SPEAKER_03: She did fantastic.
- 13:41SPEAKER_03: I thought it was great.
- 13:42SPEAKER_05: Um and and then our our guy Pat Kinsey couldn't couldn't be there.
- 13:46SPEAKER_05: And so he kind of arranged for a stand-in.
- 13:51SPEAKER_03: Yes, he did.
- 13:51SPEAKER_05: Uh named named Jerusha.
- 13:53SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 13:54SPEAKER_05: And she was fantastic.
- 13:55SPEAKER_05: She was excellent.
- 13:56SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 13:56SPEAKER_05: And I think we can go ahead and announce that she is a new member.
- 14:00SPEAKER_03: Well, I'm sure.
- 14:01SPEAKER_03: I I I I I I 100 per 90 percent.
- 14:05SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 14:05SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 14:05SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 14:06SPEAKER_05: She needs to be in this band.
- 14:07SPEAKER_05: Well, no, I think it's confirmed.
- 14:08SPEAKER_05: Okay, good.
- 14:09SPEAKER_05: Because it was posted in the in the thread that she is uh uh the new member on trombone for the Star City.
- 14:16SPEAKER_03: When did that what thread?
- 14:17SPEAKER_05: Not too uh the Chipotle Pete.
- 14:19SPEAKER_05: Today?
- 14:20SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 14:20SPEAKER_05: I don't remember seeing that.
- 14:21SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 14:22SPEAKER_05: Um He consulted with Pat and I will tell you exactly what well, I won't tell you exactly what he said because you know it's it's a private group.
- 14:35SPEAKER_05: It's only for members.
- 14:36SPEAKER_03: Well, I remember I was we were was it you were you were there?
- 14:41SPEAKER_03: I know Joel was there, but we were talking to Kevin, and Kevin was like, it would be excellent because the way Drusha likes to play, Pat likes to play in a different register, she plays in different registers.
- 14:51SPEAKER_03: And any plays can play basically in any register.
- 14:54SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 14:54SPEAKER_03: So having the three of them together would be just like Torta Force.
- 14:59SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 14:59SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 15:00SPEAKER_05: Okay, so let's see.
- 15:01SPEAKER_05: I'm not gonna use uh last name because I don't know if she wants me to.
- 15:04SPEAKER_05: No.
- 15:05SPEAKER_05: So uh this is what uh Chris posted.
- 15:07SPEAKER_05: Hey, at the next gig, make sure you welcome our newest official member to the fold, Jerusha.
- 15:11SPEAKER_05: You're officially a syndicator, sinner, synonym err.
- 15:15SPEAKER_05: Crap, what do we call ourselves anyway?
- 15:17SPEAKER_05: Well, anyway, thanks for letting us kidnap you, Jerusalem.
- 15:20SPEAKER_05: Welcome to the chaos.
- 15:22SPEAKER_05: So she's she's officially in the band.
- 15:24SPEAKER_05: Wonderful.
- 15:24SPEAKER_03: So that's a great idea.
- 15:25SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it is a great idea.
- 15:27SPEAKER_05: Because, you know, Andy, we were talking about my wife and I were talking about this.
- 15:30SPEAKER_05: Andy, who also plays trombone with us, um, A looks absolutely fantastic and is in great shape for his age.
- 15:41SPEAKER_05: He's almost eighty.
- 15:42SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he's up there, man.
- 15:43SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 15:44SPEAKER_05: Uh and always plays fantastically at our shows.
- 15:48SPEAKER_05: But he has mentioned that he's gonna slow down a little bit.
- 15:50SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah, not um understandable.
- 15:52SPEAKER_05: So I think adding Jerusha is going to be perfect timing.
- 15:56SPEAKER_05: Um so I think uh I think it's a good thing.
- 16:00SPEAKER_05: And uh I think we're gonna be the better man better band for it.
- 16:03SPEAKER_05: Absolutely.
- 16:04SPEAKER_05: I worked with Jerusalem uh years ago.
- 16:06SPEAKER_05: Uh she's a teacher.
- 16:08SPEAKER_05: And I taught in uh uh I taught in high school and she taught in the middle school, but it was the same building.
- 16:14SPEAKER_05: And she's uh she's a sweetheart.
- 16:16SPEAKER_05: She's uh she's a good uh a good egg.
- 16:19SPEAKER_05: And she'll fit right in, I'm sure.
- 16:20SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
- 16:21SPEAKER_03: Uh what else?
- 16:23SPEAKER_03: She can put up with it sometime.
- 16:24SPEAKER_05: It's not a good thing.
- 16:25SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, that was a great first gig for her because we we we called out a lot of audibles.
- 16:31SPEAKER_04: We're not gonna do this one.
- 16:32SPEAKER_04: Uh oh okay.
- 16:33SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 16:35SPEAKER_04: We're gonna do this one instead.
- 16:37SPEAKER_03: Omaha.
- 16:38SPEAKER_03: But that's that's if you're ever at a syndicate show and you hear one of us say Omaha, that's what's happening.
- 16:43SPEAKER_05: Exactly.
- 16:43SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
- 16:44SPEAKER_05: So uh but the gig was good, I thought.
- 16:46SPEAKER_05: I mean, I think it was.
- 16:47SPEAKER_05: I was good.
- 16:47SPEAKER_03: I thought we played pretty well, and it sounded I guess I guess the sound it wasn't that bad.
- 16:52SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think it out in the crowd, because I was talking to our sister and her boyfriend afterwards, and uh he was like, Oh no, it was great.
- 17:00SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know, I think it has a lot to do with the baffling ceiling.
- 17:04SPEAKER_05: So I think so too.
- 17:05SPEAKER_03: I think we were well, it was a lot of worry about nothing about being loud, but yeah.
- 17:09SPEAKER_03: Worked out well, so yep.
- 17:11SPEAKER_05: So our next show is uh this coming Saturday and it's gonna rain.
- 17:14SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 17:15SPEAKER_05: So feed the county, which we're hoping to feed the and there's no rain location.
- 17:19SPEAKER_05: Of course it's not.
- 17:20SPEAKER_05: And we're not undercover.
- 17:21SPEAKER_05: So we're not gonna play.
- 17:22SPEAKER_05: So we probably won't play.
- 17:22SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 17:23SPEAKER_05: So so that's been a crappy summer so mar so far for uh for Star City Syndicate shows.
- 17:30SPEAKER_05: Hopefully we can redeem ourselves somehow and um get a show or two under our belt that is actually a sunny day.
- 17:39SPEAKER_03: Or at least undercover.
- 17:40SPEAKER_05: Or at least undercover.
- 17:41SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 17:41SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 17:42SPEAKER_05: And we, you know, get to play for a pretty decent crowd.
- 17:46SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 17:47SPEAKER_05: Uh so this is what I wanted to mention to you.
- 17:50SPEAKER_05: You heard me playing some music when I came in.
- 17:52SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 17:53SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 17:54SPEAKER_05: So I told and I told Chris at KMH Music today, I said 'cause I went down and and I got a c a couple of batteries for my um snark tuner.
- 18:04SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 18:04SPEAKER_03: My snark tuners.
- 18:05SPEAKER_03: Yeah, because it crapped out of the bigger.
- 18:07SPEAKER_05: So uh I went in to buy some and I said, You're gonna be seeing a lot of me this summer just because I sometimes I need to just get away from the house and and I don't have to go to work.
- 18:18SPEAKER_05: So I'm surprised you're not teaching guitar lessons again.
- 18:21SPEAKER_05: Uh I no, I need the summer.
- 18:22SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 18:22SPEAKER_05: I need the summer to myself to prepare for the fall uh when I go back in school and gotcha.
- 18:27SPEAKER_05: And I'm uh and and this might be news to you as well.
- 18:32SPEAKER_05: Um I'm supposed to be cleaning the basement in the next few weeks.
- 18:37SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 18:38SPEAKER_05: Um m most more particularly that side.
- 18:41SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 18:43SPEAKER_05: There is a an idea I just wanna it's not definite, but I do what my wife tells me to do.
- 18:52SPEAKER_05: Correct.
- 18:54SPEAKER_05: So it's possible that she may get this fun dungeon uh for her work.
- 19:04SPEAKER_05: Because you know you walked in today and it's just packed full of boxes and whatnot.
- 19:09SPEAKER_05: And we'll be over there.
- 19:12SPEAKER_05: That's cool.
- 19:12SPEAKER_05: Somehow, some way.
- 19:14SPEAKER_05: But I it's right now nothing can be over there.
- 19:19SPEAKER_05: Nothing and nobody can be over there because it's really gross and um there's lots of just stuff that she won't let me get a roll off.
- 19:30SPEAKER_05: I want to get a roll off and just toss a lot of stuff.
- 19:34SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 19:35SPEAKER_05: But that's not gonna happen.
- 19:36SPEAKER_05: So it's just gonna be a matter of going through stuff and and tossing and putting away and and but I will make sure that it's like this somehow.
- 19:48SPEAKER_03: Oh, I have no doubt.
- 19:50SPEAKER_05: Uh and that and and again, it won't happen for a while.
- 19:54SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 19:55SPEAKER_05: Anyway.
- 19:56SPEAKER_05: Uh but it will be still the fun dungeon, because I mean it's well, it's still in the dungeon.
- 20:00SPEAKER_03: It's still in the dungeon.
- 20:01SPEAKER_03: It's fun.
- 20:03SPEAKER_05: So anyway, I thought you had tracks.
- 20:05SPEAKER_05: I stopped I stopped into KMH today to buy those batteries, and he said, Hey.
- 20:11SPEAKER_05: I said, Hey.
- 20:12SPEAKER_05: He said, uh I want to show you something.
- 20:15SPEAKER_05: I said, Okay.
- 20:17SPEAKER_05: I just got a bundle of records in.
- 20:20SPEAKER_05: You did?

- 23:36SPEAKER_05: Yep.

- 23:40SPEAKER_05: King of the Delta Blues.
- 23:41SPEAKER_05: By the way, it's Robert Johnson.
- 23:42SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 23:43SPEAKER_05: I forgot this is radio.
- 23:45SPEAKER_04: And then my favorite.
- 23:48SPEAKER_04: My favorite, the holy grail for me.
- 23:52SPEAKER_05: BB King live at Cook County Jail.
- 23:54SPEAKER_05: Oh, cool.
- 23:54SPEAKER_05: And I have I have this on CD as well.
- 23:56SPEAKER_05: Yeah.

- 24:05SPEAKER_03: Nice find, man.
- 24:06SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 24:06SPEAKER_05: So he had, and there's a lot more.
- 24:08SPEAKER_03: Oh, I'm sure.
- 24:09SPEAKER_03: Where that came from.
- 24:10SPEAKER_05: A lot more muddy waters, a lot more BB King, and some actually some collections as well.
- 24:15SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 24:15SPEAKER_05: On vinyl.
- 24:16SPEAKER_05: So yeah, I would uh go down before before everybody else hears this and goes down to to steal them.
- 24:23SPEAKER_03: I'm not so worried worried because uh blues is a very tight tight community.
- 24:29SPEAKER_03: It is.
- 24:29SPEAKER_03: You know, because it's I I mean I hate to say it, but it's not well known.
- 24:37SPEAKER_03: And it should it is, but it isn't.
- 24:39SPEAKER_05: Not only because and that's what Chris was saying, like I I'm not sure what what to put on for a price for these.
- 24:45SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 24:45SPEAKER_05: And um he gave me a very good deal.
- 24:48SPEAKER_05: Oh I'm sure.
- 24:49SPEAKER_05: So um so because he doesn't think that they'll sell either.
- 24:53SPEAKER_03: That's and that's the thing, because unless you're unless you're an officiano, aficionado, then of blues, you're not gonna you're not gonna enjoy these.
- 25:00SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you won't.
- 25:01SPEAKER_03: On the level that you and I would.
- 25:02SPEAKER_05: You won't appreciate that.
- 25:03SPEAKER_05: Yeah, right.
- 25:04SPEAKER_05: So it's just uh well put this on in the background for a second.
- 25:12SPEAKER_05: So this is from Electric Mud.
- 25:18SPEAKER_05: See, it's very compared to other Muddy Water stuff.
- 25:21SPEAKER_03: Well, it's it's it's kind of Hendrix-y.
- 25:23SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's very psychedelic.
- 25:25SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
- 25:26SPEAKER_05: Um so, which is the reason that I picked it up, because I'm like, I and I've read about this album.
- 25:31SPEAKER_05: I was like, oh my goodness.
- 25:32SPEAKER_05: This is like the world famous when it's like uh when Bob Dylan went to Newport Folk Festival and he went electric and he plugged in.
- 25:40SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 25:40SPEAKER_05: This is the same thing for Money Waters.
- 25:42SPEAKER_05: It's like electric mud.
- 25:43SPEAKER_05: This is the this is the biggie.
- 25:44SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you know.
- 25:45SPEAKER_05: So I was like, I looked at that and my face went up, lit up, and Gris is like, oh yeah.
- 25:51SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 25:52SPEAKER_05: So I was uh I was pretty pumped.
- 25:55SPEAKER_05: Pretty pumped to get that.
- 25:56SPEAKER_05: So I just take that.
- 25:57SPEAKER_05: I have my my see my my new setup here.
- 25:59SPEAKER_03: Well I was gonna say that looks like uh you know 1992 called.
- 26:03SPEAKER_03: I know, right?
- 26:05SPEAKER_05: Well here's the thing.
- 26:06SPEAKER_05: So your stereo your stereo is in.
- 26:08SPEAKER_05: So this was my this was my mother's uh stereo deck.
- 26:13SPEAKER_05: Uh of course it has I have my extra uh my uh C D player standalone C D player and then so this stereo has uh a radio, uh two cassettes, and and vinyl.
- 26:28SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 26:29SPEAKER_05: And she gave it to me a long time ago.
- 26:31SPEAKER_05: It's a Panasonic.
- 26:32SPEAKER_05: She gave it to me a long time ago when I had my first apartment, I believe.
- 26:36SPEAKER_05: I got married, I took it with me to the house.
- 26:39unknown: My wife did not like it.
- 26:41SPEAKER_05: It just it's it's it's ugly.
- 26:42SPEAKER_05: Which it is.
- 26:43SPEAKER_05: I mean it's it's uh so we had it for the longest time, we had it up in the living room, and nobody used it.
- 26:50SPEAKER_05: Uh every once in a while, like when doing the dishes, we'd turn on the radio or something.
- 26:54SPEAKER_05: But nobody used it.
- 26:56SPEAKER_05: And so, you know, you remember the other record player that I had down here was tiny.
- 27:00SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, the the little Victrola that right, and in order to play a record on it, I had to it's like starting up an airplane because I had to, you know, do all these switches.
- 27:11SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 27:12SPEAKER_05: Uh because I had to go through the mixer and I had to do this and even then it wasn't great.
- 27:17SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 27:17SPEAKER_05: You know, because it was the little speakers on the front.
- 27:20SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 27:20SPEAKER_05: And and so I I just decided nobody uses it upstairs, I'm gonna bring it down here.
- 27:25SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 27:26SPEAKER_05: And so now I've got complete access.
- 27:27SPEAKER_05: I can play all the time.
- 27:28SPEAKER_05: I'm surprised it took you this long.
- 27:29SPEAKER_05: I know, me too.
- 27:31SPEAKER_05: Uh maybe I'm just lazy.
- 27:32SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
- 27:33SPEAKER_05: Um but uh but yeah, I um I'm I'm excited about having it down here because I can actually listen to these.
- 27:41SPEAKER_03: Well, it's nice, man.
- 27:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 27:42SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna make it sure we're making sure we're still going.
- 27:44SPEAKER_03: Yeah, because uh I don't have the I don't have it in me to do with this again today.
- 27:48SPEAKER_05: So we should explain we should explain what that's all about.
- 27:51SPEAKER_05: So the funny thing is is last week's podcast, we and it's such a bummer because we started the podcast and w we got going, and then you got on this tear that was just awesome.
- 28:08SPEAKER_05: So funny.
- 28:10SPEAKER_05: And we ended with uh we we actually picked a different album uh that what than what ended up on the podcast because we picked, I think we picked Dio.
- 28:19SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it was Dio.
- 28:20SPEAKER_05: And um we went on this whole I mean it was hilarious.
- 28:24SPEAKER_05: I'm not gonna t go tell you what it was because uh well, you mentioned it actually in the other podcast.
- 28:30SPEAKER_05: You said we said Steve Asia.
- 28:31SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 28:31SPEAKER_05: And you mentioned it in this podcast too.
- 28:33SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 28:33SPEAKER_05: But um, so we went to uh we record this on a little machine, on a disc.
- 28:41SPEAKER_05: And I stopped it last week and it said write error.
- 28:48SPEAKER_05: So something went awry.
- 28:50SPEAKER_05: So we plugged it into the computer and it only recorded 30 minutes.
- 28:56SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 28:56SPEAKER_05: So the l second half of the podcast was gone.
- 29:01SPEAKER_05: And instead of That was probably the best part.
- 29:03SPEAKER_05: It was the best part.
- 29:05SPEAKER_05: And instead of recapture the magic, we just started there and did it all differently.
- 29:11SPEAKER_05: We kept we picked a new album and all that stuff.
- 29:14SPEAKER_05: It was fine, but it was just it wasn't as you know, animated as it wasn't as animated and spontaneous as well.
- 29:21SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 29:21SPEAKER_05: So this so if you hear me going off mic like like this, it's just because I'm looking at the thing.
- 29:26SPEAKER_03: Just to make sure it's if it says right error, I'm leaving.
- 29:28SPEAKER_03: Yes, just to make sure you're gonna be like, I quit.
- 29:31SPEAKER_03: Still recording stupid podcast.
- 29:33SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 29:34SPEAKER_03: I'm out of here, Damien.
- 29:37SPEAKER_05: Um talk about new music.
- 29:40SPEAKER_05: Because I was looking at ultimate classicrock.com today to try and find something to talk about.
- 29:45SPEAKER_05: Ah, yes.
- 29:46SPEAKER_05: Um I found two two pieces of new music.
- 29:49SPEAKER_05: Cool.
- 29:50SPEAKER_05: And one of them I think they think is new music.
- 29:53SPEAKER_05: Um and the reason I say that is because the the title of the article on Ultimate Classic Rock is Is Motley Crue teasing a new song named Dogs of War?
- 30:04SPEAKER_05: So they don't even know.
- 30:05SPEAKER_05: Because what they did is they Motley Crue on their social media, they posted um a gig advertisement uh called Dogs of War, The Underworld London, uh, June 30th, 8 p.m.
- 30:19SPEAKER_05: Showtime.
- 30:20SPEAKER_05: Tickets on sale Monday, which would be today.
- 30:23SPEAKER_05: Uh but they had music playing behind it.
- 30:25SPEAKER_05: So they're saying that we think this is New Motley Crew with John Five on guitar.
- 30:32SPEAKER_05: So I thought we would listen to it, and I have previewed it actually.
- 30:38SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 30:38SPEAKER_05: It's a lot harder than what you're used to from the crew.
- 30:44SPEAKER_05: Um it's kind of derivative, but you know, I'll just play it.
- 30:49SPEAKER_05: Hold on, let me start it over here.
- 31:34SPEAKER_05: And that's all you get.
- 31:35SPEAKER_03: Wow.
- 31:36SPEAKER_05: So it sounds heavy.
- 31:38SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 31:38SPEAKER_05: Uh compared to what you're used to from from Montley Crew.
- 31:41SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
- 31:42SPEAKER_05: Um, so I'll be interested to see if that's if that actually is music from Motley Crew.
- 31:51SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 31:52SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think so.
- 31:53SPEAKER_05: Um and I was also reading that um McMars of course there's a lot of trouble on that front.
- 32:02SPEAKER_05: McMars admitted that the last three albums that Molly Crew put out, uh Saints of Los Angeles, um I can't remember what the other two were.
- 32:15SPEAKER_05: Uh but they were it doesn't really matter.
- 32:17SPEAKER_05: No, it doesn't.
- 32:18SPEAKER_05: But they were a while ago, like a long time ago.
- 32:20SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 32:21SPEAKER_05: Uh McMars r really didn't play very much on those records.
- 32:25SPEAKER_03: I'm not s I uh I wanna be surprised, yeah, but I'm not.
- 32:29SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 32:29SPEAKER_05: So uh so that's a shame.
- 32:31SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 32:32SPEAKER_05: Um uh other new music though, uh, and I have previewed this as well.
- 32:36SPEAKER_05: I'm sorry, I I I went ahead and Well no, uh I wanna while I'm thinking of this.
- 32:40SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 32:41SPEAKER_03: Did you hear about this thing with SoundGarden and Chris Cornell's wife?
- 32:46SPEAKER_05: Um I knew that there was some legal stuff going on.
- 32:50SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 32:50SPEAKER_05: Uh but I didn't I don't know any.
- 32:53SPEAKER_03: I guess it's been resolved.
- 32:54SPEAKER_03: Oh, it has?
- 32:55SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 32:55SPEAKER_03: So is there So I think they're gonna do some reissues.

- 33:01SPEAKER_03: That's good news.
- 33:02SPEAKER_03: So Yeah.
- 33:03SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 33:03SPEAKER_03: I was just I just it just thought of it.
- 33:06SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 33:06SPEAKER_03: I wanted to bring it up.
- 33:07SPEAKER_03: I didn't know if you knew anything about it.
- 33:08SPEAKER_05: I don't know anything about it.
- 33:09SPEAKER_05: I know Chris Cornell has um a lot of his solo stuff like that he hasn't put out.
- 33:16SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 33:17SPEAKER_05: You know, so but that wouldn't be that wouldn't be SoundGarden, you know, their that wouldn't be their issue.
- 33:22SPEAKER_03: This was specifically about Soundgarden reissuing Soundgarden, something in my I There was a lot of mumbo legalese stuff that I I really Yeah.
- 33:32SPEAKER_05: So but it has been resolved is what you're saying.
- 33:33SPEAKER_03: As far as I know, it's been resolved, so hopefully they're in the future here we'll see some you know reissues of like classics.
- 33:40SPEAKER_03: That's good news Soundgarden, so that'd be cool.
- 33:43SPEAKER_03: Good stuff.
- 33:44SPEAKER_05: Uh Paul Rogers is releasing his first new solo album uh in twenty-three years.
- 33:52SPEAKER_05: Wow.
- 33:52SPEAKER_05: Because his first uh well, his electric uh his song, his album Electric, came out in 2000.
- 33:59SPEAKER_05: Um, this one is called Midnight Rose.
- 34:02SPEAKER_05: Again, it's eight songs.
- 34:04SPEAKER_05: You know, we were talking about the Steve Lukather album.
- 34:06SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's only eight songs, which was only eight songs.
- 34:09SPEAKER_05: Now they used to do that all the time, like in the 70s.
- 34:11SPEAKER_05: Well, that's because that's all you could fit on a cassette.
- 34:13SPEAKER_05: Right, that's true.
- 34:14SPEAKER_05: You know.
- 34:14SPEAKER_05: Um, but yeah, I don't know.
- 34:16SPEAKER_05: And it says an eight-song LP, so it's not an EP.
- 34:19SPEAKER_05: It's an LP.
- 34:21SPEAKER_05: It's coming out September 22nd.
- 34:23SPEAKER_05: Um I love Paul Rogers.
- 34:28SPEAKER_05: This is uh uh not only you heard that Motley Crue and you heard the quality of that Motley Crue, like the the I guess you can't really appreciate it in headphones and on here, but um it was crisp to it to a certain extent.
- 34:43SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 34:44SPEAKER_05: Um I I listened to this one before you got here, uh admittedly.
- 34:49SPEAKER_05: And I love Paul Rogers, but it's I knew there was a butt coming.
- 34:55SPEAKER_05: It's Paul Rogers, and it's even you know, even the quality of the sound.
- 35:07SPEAKER_05: I mean his vocals are great.
- 35:10SPEAKER_05: Like out front, right?
- 35:11SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 36:08SPEAKER_01: I mean it's my game.
- 36:12SPEAKER_05: I mean, you want it to sound like that company, you want it to sound like free, and it does, but it doesn't there's nothing new here.
- 36:21SPEAKER_05: I'm living up in Canada now.
- 36:24SPEAKER_05: You know?
- 36:25SPEAKER_05: I mean granted he's 73.
- 36:27SPEAKER_05: You know?
- 36:28SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's it's it's kinda like I said, it's kinda underwhelming.
- 36:31SPEAKER_05: But Sammy Hagar is gonna be 76.
- 36:34SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 36:35SPEAKER_05: Uh in October, and he put on an album last year or two years ago.
- 36:39SPEAKER_05: It just kicks this in the ass.
- 36:41SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 36:42SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 36:43SPEAKER_03: I'm not saying this is bad.
- 36:44SPEAKER_03: No, no.
- 36:46SPEAKER_05: Um I just was like you said, just kinda eh.
- 36:50SPEAKER_05: That's that's underwhelming.
- 36:51SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 36:51SPEAKER_05: I mean anyway, uh Midnight Rose um comes out September twenty-second.
- 37:00SPEAKER_05: Uh he said, My new album, Midnight Rose, grew from sparks of ideas I had.
- 37:04SPEAKER_05: They developed into a raging fire when the band and everyone involved brought their absolute A game.
- 37:09SPEAKER_05: I think it is my best album to date.
- 37:13SPEAKER_05: I like it, I hope you do too.
- 37:15SPEAKER_05: I think I would just like it.
- 37:17SPEAKER_05: I don't dislike it.
- 37:19SPEAKER_05: I think I would just like it.
- 37:20SPEAKER_05: I don't, you know, from from that, judging from that song, I just like it.
- 37:25SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well there you go.
- 37:26SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
- 37:27SPEAKER_05: So um Motley Crue, on the other hand, um, I don't know.
- 37:31SPEAKER_05: I'm I'm uh I'm intrigued.
- 37:33SPEAKER_03: Well, yeah.
- 37:34SPEAKER_03: If if this is a new direction, I'm I'm gonna take some notice here.
- 37:38SPEAKER_05: Yeah, the only the only problem I have with Motley Crue, honestly.
- 37:40SPEAKER_05: It's Motley Crue.
- 37:41SPEAKER_05: It's Montley Crue.
- 37:42SPEAKER_05: And Vince, his voice.
- 37:45SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's it's it's definitely gone downhill.
- 37:48SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 37:49SPEAKER_03: But that's what, you know, that lifestyle will do to you.
- 37:52SPEAKER_03: That's what happens.
- 37:52SPEAKER_03: You know.
- 37:53SPEAKER_05: You know, here we are, you know, we're we're one to talk.
- 37:55SPEAKER_05: I mean, age does that to you as well.
- 37:58SPEAKER_05: You know, I mean they do have a they are living a um a different life, different kind of lifestyle than than we live, but also I I have a hard time getting up from the chair.
- 38:07SPEAKER_03: Well, I'm sure they do too.
- 38:09SPEAKER_05: I'm sure they do as well.
- 38:11SPEAKER_03: You know, you don't see Tommy Lee doing uh, you know, strapping himself into a drum set and doing, you know, circles, you know, like he you know, like riding a roller coaster on his while playing in here.
- 38:21SPEAKER_05: Actually, I think he he was doing stuff like that on the last tour.
- 38:25SPEAKER_05: I think.
- 38:26SPEAKER_05: Not maybe not the strapping himself in and going upside down and all that stuff, but he I know he did that not too long ago.
- 38:33SPEAKER_05: Um but now they're now they've taken to playing to tra to tracks and lip syncing.
- 38:38SPEAKER_03: Well, you know, what are you gonna what are you gonna do?
- 38:43SPEAKER_03: I don't I don't I don't know, man.
- 38:44SPEAKER_05: Exactly.
- 38:45SPEAKER_03: It's Motley Crue.
- 38:46SPEAKER_03: I mean, they just you wanna you love to hate 'em.
- 38:50SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I w uh and we've had this discussion before.
- 38:52SPEAKER_05: I've never been a huge fan.
- 38:54SPEAKER_03: I mean, they got some good s I mean I I think the only Motley Crew album I've ever bought was Dr.
- 39:00SPEAKER_03: Feelgood.
- 39:01SPEAKER_05: Yeah, me too.
- 39:02SPEAKER_03: But I I have like the greatest hits.
- 39:04SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 39:05SPEAKER_03: Because that's all I really want.
- 39:06SPEAKER_03: I don't you know, I don't like deep track Motley Crew because their deep track is about as deep as a mud puddle.
- 39:14SPEAKER_05: And I think that's all I have from Crew as well, is the is the Red White and Crew.
- 39:17SPEAKER_05: Red White and Crew and and Dr.
- 39:19SPEAKER_05: Feelgood.
- 39:20SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 39:20SPEAKER_03: I think that's all that's all I have from Molly Crew.
- 39:22SPEAKER_03: And I think Dr.
- 39:22SPEAKER_05: Feel Good's all I really need.
- 39:23SPEAKER_05: It's a great album.
- 39:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 39:25SPEAKER_05: Uh Bob Rock had a lot to do with that.
- 39:27SPEAKER_03: Oh, of course, Bob Rock.
- 39:28SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 39:28SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 39:28SPEAKER_05: So uh but yeah.
- 39:30SPEAKER_05: So I'd be interested to see if that's uh if that anything comes from.
- 39:33SPEAKER_03: If that's a new direction, I'll have to check it out.
- 39:35SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 39:35SPEAKER_03: Because that's kind of interesting.
- 39:36SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 39:37SPEAKER_05: Well, you know, Nikki Six had the whole 6 a.m.
- 39:39SPEAKER_05: thing going.
- 39:40SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 39:40SPEAKER_05: And 6 a.m.
- 39:41SPEAKER_05: is a great band.
- 39:42SPEAKER_03: It really actually is.
- 39:45SPEAKER_05: So um I'd be interested to see if that if they kind of combine those two, those two things.
- 39:49SPEAKER_05: It would be nice.
- 39:50SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 39:50SPEAKER_05: It would be nice.
- 39:52SPEAKER_05: All right.
- 39:53SPEAKER_05: So let's get to the uh are we already there?
- 39:57SPEAKER_05: I don't know, where are we?

- 40:06SPEAKER_03: I think so.
- 40:07SPEAKER_03: Let's do it.
- 40:09SPEAKER_03: I was really quiet.
- 40:10SPEAKER_03: Was it?
- 40:11SPEAKER_05: Let me turn that up and do it again.
- 40:14SPEAKER_03: That's better.
- 40:14SPEAKER_03: That's better.

- 40:57SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but then it wouldn't be our show.
- 40:59SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it would be stupid.
- 41:00SPEAKER_03: We're their producers.
- 41:02SPEAKER_03: We're something.
- 41:05SPEAKER_03: I'm not exactly sure what we are, but we're something.

- 42:59SPEAKER_05: And then the second one, Keeper of the Seven Keys.
- 43:02SPEAKER_03: Oh, let's check that one.
- 43:03SPEAKER_05: I was just gonna say because that sounds like that sounds like a Halloween song.

- 44:57SPEAKER_05: Guess I should pay attention.
- 45:04SPEAKER_03: I definitely think they were influenced by uh British heavy metal.
- 45:07SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, for sure.
- 45:09SPEAKER_05: Um I want to listen to another one if that's okay with you.
- 45:12SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's fine, man.

- 46:27SPEAKER_03: Very maiden, very Queensra-ish.
- 46:31SPEAKER_03: But for some reason, all I can think is Spinal Tap.
- 46:36SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I wonder what the show, the like the live show was like.
- 46:39SPEAKER_03: I I I would think it's something like you know, Stonehenge.

- 46:45SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 46:47SPEAKER_03: Um Stonehenge.

- 52:16SPEAKER_03: 2000?
- 52:18SPEAKER_03: 2000.
- 52:22SPEAKER_03: Anyway, it was in the recent past.
- 52:25SPEAKER_03: Um, before this house was here, it was a uh Viking settlement.
- 52:31SPEAKER_03: And um uh I think it was Eric the Gray, not Eric the Red, because Eric the Red landed in Nova Scotia.
- 52:39SPEAKER_03: But Eric the Gray was like, well, I mean they were brothers, hence the red and the gray.
- 52:44SPEAKER_03: Um, because one you know Eric the Gray was older than Eric the Red.
- 52:48SPEAKER_03: So Eric, you know, Eric the Red was like, well, we're in Nova Scotia, dude.
- 52:52SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna stay here because it's really nice and there's lots of fish and stuff, and I like fish, so I'm gonna hang here.
- 52:57SPEAKER_03: And Gray was like, nah, dude, I'm gonna keep going west because I'm gonna find California.
- 53:03SPEAKER_03: Because I've heard that song California Girls, and I'm going to look for California girls.
- 53:08SPEAKER_03: Okay, so this is you know, so I mean they're Vikings, that's what they do.
- 53:12SPEAKER_03: They they they they find places and they just take over and then they leave.
- 53:18SPEAKER_03: You know.
- 53:19SPEAKER_03: So, you know.
- 53:20SPEAKER_03: So of course he's gonna go so he ended up here, he got this far and he and he and he created a little settlement settlement settle settlement here.
- 53:29SPEAKER_03: Okay, and he you know, he built a little like a stone lodge, you know, and he you know, he you know, he gotta get underground because it's it's uneven.
- 53:39SPEAKER_03: Right because it's on a hill.
- 53:40SPEAKER_03: So he gotta get you know, he got it even enough.
- 53:42SPEAKER_03: So he kind of dug on and in, you know, he put the shelter up and then and then he was like, This is a cool place.
- 53:48SPEAKER_03: Once he was done, of course.
- 53:49SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and it was winter, so of course it was cool.
- 53:52SPEAKER_03: So once he got done, he sat down in here, and of course, being Vikings, they don't really have instruments.
- 53:59SPEAKER_03: So he had to make his own like music.
- 54:03SPEAKER_03: So that's where uh Led Zeppelin One came from.
- 54:08SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 54:08SPEAKER_03: It's a little known story.
- 54:10SPEAKER_03: He actually wrote uh all the songs for Led Zeppelin One way back in way back in the you know, like eighty eight hundred.
- 54:20SPEAKER_03: Somewhere around there.
- 54:22SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
- 54:22SPEAKER_03: It was pretty interesting.

- 54:28SPEAKER_05: Um did you get to the the how the fun dungeon was I just did.
- 54:32SPEAKER_03: Oh you did?
- 54:33SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well he dug the pit.
