Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, that's perfect. That's perfect. And the
Speaker 10: video now, so Amy, we're gonna make you talk because
Speaker 10: you had said something, you had said something off air
Speaker 10: about how much fun it was to make that video. Oh,
Speaker 10: it was a blast. So what what do you like?
Speaker 10: Are you do you direct? Do you film everything?
Speaker 13: Do you know?
Speaker 3: Aaron did all of it. She's the female voice in
Speaker 3: the song. Oh you're on the song?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and.
Speaker 3: Then yeah, you can hear her in the video. It's explicit,
Speaker 3: so you can hear it swear right right, all those
Speaker 3: all those clicks you heard, Oh I got you edit?
Speaker 10: Yes, yeah, I appreciate that. Appreciate that. And then so now, Jason,
Speaker 10: how did you get involved in this project? You're you're
Speaker 10: one of the Argonauts.
Speaker 18: I yeah, since since band mix. Aaron reached out to
Speaker 18: me last year year and a half ago and about
Speaker 18: about doing a project. And at the time my house
Speaker 18: was under construction and stuff like that. So I couldn't
Speaker 18: do anything. So I like, I'll get back to you.
Speaker 18: I'll get back to here. I'm like, but you know,
Speaker 18: I kept we kept bouncing back and forth and like, hey, like,
Speaker 18: my I'm still not back in my house yet, but
Speaker 18: once as soon as I am, i'll let you know. Yeah,
Speaker 18: I got back in my house and he did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and I went right to his house
Speaker 3: and his his wife was all freaked out because the
Speaker 3: stranger was showing.
Speaker 10: Up right right Caarel house.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then we just started, uh playing for brand
Speaker 3: new songs from scratch. We played a couple of my
Speaker 3: old songs, just you know, to get the groove down,
Speaker 3: and then we just started writing and writing and writing,
Speaker 3: and it really took most of the year to write
Speaker 3: and record.
Speaker 10: Yeah, what's the meaning of like what is an argonaut?
Speaker 3: So so that's that's that's the old Greek stories. Uh uh.
Speaker 3: There a group of travelers, one of them was Hercules, uhh,
Speaker 3: and you know they were set off on on on
Speaker 3: a quest. It's the old movies like Clash of the
Speaker 3: Tight Ends, uh, Jason in the Argonauts, Hercules, the old
Speaker 3: fifties sixties movies with the stop motion. I used to
Speaker 3: really like those when I was a kid, and you know,
Speaker 3: I was just sitting there smoking and uh, it just came,
Speaker 3: you know, it came to me and I thought it
Speaker 3: sounded neat and I went with it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: And then so, like the album has a three songs
Speaker 3: on it that are kind of loosely based on like
Speaker 3: the old movies, like the intro overture for the Argonauts, right,
Speaker 3: and it starts off with like drums in the background
Speaker 3: and it builds up the horns and war. Yeah, it's awesome.
Speaker 3: And it's like the opening credits to those old movies,
Speaker 3: you know, because they had all the credits at the beginning. Yeah,
Speaker 3: back in the old movies, and they would have all
Speaker 3: this epic music and then these cards like you know,
Speaker 3: changing around of like different gods and stuff.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: So that's that was kind of you know, it was
Speaker 3: all very loosely based off of that old stuff.
Speaker 10: Right, right, Oh, very cool.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 10: Now, so when you play a lot now obviously, as
Speaker 10: we said here, you're you're entirely self contained.
Speaker 3: Which is which is pretty cool.
Speaker 10: But when you when you play live in venues, obviously
Speaker 10: we don't have a lot of room here. So this
Speaker 10: is necessary, but do do Jay and and and you're
Speaker 10: amy perform with.
Speaker 3: You No, No, it's it's the same. Well, I've never
Speaker 3: performed on a song except for Grind.
Speaker 10: Oh so maybe when so when he plays Grind, maybe.
Speaker 3: That's something we've discressed.
Speaker 10: And yeah, the little stage right, Oh, she doesn't really.
Speaker 3: Have space fright because uh we we had like a
Speaker 3: performance part of the Grind video, right and she she
Speaker 3: was up there performing with me and we had like
Speaker 3: a whole crew of people, yeah, you know, dancing and everything.
Speaker 3: It was it was kind of like a mock performance,
Speaker 3: but she was getting into it. Yeah, you know, so
Speaker 3: I think she'll just she'll be fine. You know if
Speaker 3: I make an edit yah for when she wants to
Speaker 3: join me, right right, you pull out her vocals and
Speaker 3: then she can do it.
Speaker 10: There you go, There you go? Now is there anyone
Speaker 10: else on the album?
Speaker 3: So you know, it's just it's Jay. It's Gary Smith.
Speaker 3: Oh Gary Smith, Yeah, yeah, from Fox and the Flamincos
Speaker 3: and various other Oh my god, like RDV.
Speaker 10: He's one of the busiest people I know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's like in six bands right off the top
Speaker 3: of my head, Cosmic Blosso and he's do like all
Speaker 3: of them. Yeah, and solo thing the get Gos on
Speaker 3: this album, he's he's been on everything Destroyer. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: of course my wife Amy.

Speaker 3: and then this one's cool. This one was just added.
Speaker 3: So December fourteenth, at eight pm, I'm gonna be doing

Speaker 3: doing an annual toy drive now for the last eighteen years.
Speaker 3: You know Ben from Change the Season. Yes, yes, he
Speaker 3: was the singer of Changing Season. And he's been doing
Speaker 3: this like since we were in the band. Like his
Speaker 3: first toy drive was a show we did at the
Speaker 3: Spider Room, no kidding, Yeah, called a clause for rock
Speaker 3: Oh wow. And you know, I don't know how much
Speaker 3: he raised it. I don't think it was that much.
Speaker 3: Maybe a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 10: Sure.
Speaker 3: Last year he raised seven thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: He He used to like make videos of himself going
Speaker 3: shopping at like Toys, r US and all that, make
Speaker 3: a big production of it. I think he still does
Speaker 3: because he's got he's got a channel called Bike's Beards
Speaker 3: and Bruce, I.
Speaker 10: Remember checking it out after you told me about it.
Speaker 10: I was like, oh my god, there's Ben.

Speaker 19: You know.
Speaker 3: First it was just a couple of tables back in
Speaker 3: the day, and now it's the entire room. Yeah, he
Speaker 3: fills it up and it's a big production. So I
Speaker 3: definitely recommend donate to this charity. I don't like donating
Speaker 3: anybody else. Nothing else goes anywhere else. He spends every
Speaker 3: dime on toys and then drops them off. Yeah, so
Speaker 3: this is a great already, go to the show Terminus
Speaker 3: December fourteenth, or just go to his website. He's got
Speaker 3: to go fundme. H. You can donate there.
Speaker 10: Terminus is a great place.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I haven't played there yet.
Speaker 10: Oh you've been there.
Speaker 3: I've been there. I've been there to see Atlanta Corvette.
Speaker 3: I was supposed to play that show, but I got
Speaker 3: sick over the summer. Yeah, so I couldn't. I couldn't
Speaker 3: play that show at that point, but I'm going to
Speaker 3: play now.
Speaker 10: So yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent.
Speaker 3: Let's see here and then I don't have anything for
Speaker 3: a long time until October I'm going to be playing
Speaker 3: Grafton Palooza, which is a new show out there. Really yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: so that's going to be uh October eleventh, way way
Speaker 3: out then. Yeah, those are my shows right now.
Speaker 10: Okay, okay, excellent. Is it difficult to find because what
Speaker 10: you do is obviously very unique.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's insanely difficult to find gigs. I've been
Speaker 3: told I don't fit in a lot of places, and
Speaker 3: a lot of places just don't respond. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: and it's hard, like I don't have a like I
Speaker 3: don't have a live band with me, and it's it's
Speaker 3: people just like don't understand it if you explain it right,
Speaker 3: you know, So I don't know, like, you know, I
Speaker 3: keep grinded, yeah, you know, and I get gigs here
Speaker 3: and there.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and you know, when you do play out though,
Speaker 10: like if you're on a show with other with with
Speaker 10: like full bands, I bet they love you, yeah, because
Speaker 10: you're set up and takedown.
Speaker 3: So I'm great for opening any band, yeah, act because
Speaker 3: yeah it's I'm I'm out in like a couple of minutes,
Speaker 3: you know, off on the side stage, and then it
Speaker 3: takes me forever to pack up there. But right right,
Speaker 3: I can get everything off the stage within a couple
Speaker 3: of minutes. Yeah, you know, it's really nice. Yeah, no,
Speaker 3: that's amazing.
Speaker 10: Is it like, is it easier doing it this way
Speaker 10: because it's all you or like, do you ever have
Speaker 10: moments where you think this would be easier with a band? Oh?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So so the Erin and the Argonaut's idea first
Speaker 3: came about. I wanted a live band to play this album,
Speaker 3: and uh, the idea was to form, you know, a
Speaker 3: live band and call that band. And you know, I tried,
Speaker 3: I tried, I tried, I tried it, and it just
Speaker 3: didn't happen. So you know, like it's either that or
Speaker 3: don't play, you know, so I do what I gotta do, yeah,
Speaker 3: to get my show out.
Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly exactly. How How did you like, do you
Speaker 10: record this on your own or no kidding?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I recorded, yeah, on a laptop. Most most of it's
Speaker 3: at my house and then I bring all my stuff
Speaker 3: over to his house and I record all his drums
Speaker 3: there on drum days. Okay, okay, this was quite an
Speaker 3: experiment that I've never recorded drums like this before. I've
Speaker 3: only done like two mics in a room before, and
Speaker 3: this was like a whole bunch of mics for the
Speaker 3: first time, so like, uh, it was a lot of
Speaker 3: trial and error.
Speaker 10: Yeah, no, out No, that's a great experience though. So Jason,
Speaker 10: in terms of your becoming a part of the project,
Speaker 10: have you ever done because this is, like I said,
Speaker 10: it's pretty unique, right, Yeah, is this the most unusual
Speaker 10: thing you've done in terms of playing drums.
Speaker 4: More or less?
Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean, I'm figured I'm more like a I'm
Speaker 18: a I'm a progue like metal rock, jazz, yeah, you know,
Speaker 18: And I mean I've played I played in everything from
Speaker 18: jazz bands to to metal bands. And actually we never
Speaker 18: played gigs. We never played gigs together, but actually played
Speaker 18: a lot of shows at my rock club that changes
Speaker 18: he used to play back in the day I put
Speaker 18: in the band Akila Dama.
Speaker 19: You know.
Speaker 18: So, but as far as being as far as uniqueness,
Speaker 18: this is the most unique I've done, like band wise, Yeah.
Speaker 10: So, so how does that work in terms of like
Speaker 10: what you're going to play like Aaron, do you do
Speaker 10: you explain what you're looking for or Jason do you
Speaker 10: just kind of feel your way through it? Or I mean,
Speaker 10: how does how does that work a little bit of both. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sometimes it's jamming. Yeah, and sometimes like I just
Speaker 3: write the songs at home and then I throw it
Speaker 3: on the Google Drive and I send it to him
Speaker 3: and then we go to his house and uh, I
Speaker 3: play it and we work it out.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 3: So it's kind of like a half and half thing.
Speaker 19: You know.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's you know, just formed together, and sometimes I
Speaker 3: bring him songs.
Speaker 10: Right, I would imagine too, so as you're as you're recording,
Speaker 10: and you know, and you're doing it yourself, using able
Speaker 10: to the songs, probably change from what you originally had
Speaker 10: in mind. Right, I would imagine that I.
Speaker 3: Write, I write like drum machine stuff, yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: and enable him so you know, I'll do like a
Speaker 3: like a techno drum bait, and then I bring it
Speaker 3: to him and he throws his drums on there you
Speaker 3: want to pull him out.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 10: But doing it the way you do it allows for
Speaker 10: a lot of experimentation obviously, you know, because I'm sure
Speaker 10: you have like when you first conceive of a song,
Speaker 10: I'm sure you have ideas of what it's going to
Speaker 10: be and then it ends up being something.
Speaker 3: I'm always open. Yeah, that's kind of nothing. Nothing is absolute,
Speaker 3: you know what it's got to be like this.
Speaker 18: Right, that's kind of the adventure of it, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 18: but that was that was Hiding behind the Sun too,
Speaker 18: because I play. I play a lot of like weird
Speaker 18: math stuff, like on my own practicing like nobody else
Speaker 18: but myself, like I record it, yeah, you know, and
Speaker 18: on my go pros and stuff. And he saw one
Speaker 18: that I did, and he's just like, hold on and
Speaker 18: he went he wrote, he wrote Hiding behind the Sun,
Speaker 18: which changes from five to to three to four and
Speaker 18: then back and back and forth and really fine.
Speaker 3: Signatures in it. How many three?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, five four and then three and then four four.
Speaker 10: Yeah, wow yeah and then back again. Yeah.
Speaker 3: You know, I want I wanted to see if I
Speaker 3: could do it like Pink Floyd did it with money. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know, so like they switched back and forth, true,
Speaker 3: from jazz times to rock time.
Speaker 10: Right, right. Has your approach changed over the years with uh,
Speaker 10: with with what you're doing with your solo work?
Speaker 3: I mean, oh yeah, I mean every year it's different. Yeah,

Speaker 3: that have been better.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Every year, it's it's amazing. It's it's just it's like

Speaker 10: other Every drummer we have on the show is in
Speaker 10: like ten different bands. You must have something.

Speaker 18: I'm trying to find, you know, I live. I live
Speaker 18: right on the mass New Hampshire border, and nobody, nobody
Speaker 18: around me wants to play anything other than metal or
Speaker 18: like maybe blues or whatever. And you know, and I'm
Speaker 18: I'm I'm a weekend.
Speaker 10: Warrior I have you know.
Speaker 18: So yeah, exactly that too. So it's just like and
Speaker 18: it's something like I have you'll see in the video.
Speaker 18: Then at the end of the time that my kit,

Speaker 10: The drummers are most of the drummers we know they're
Speaker 10: they're in so many different bands. And you know, my
Speaker 10: theory has always been when you first have the conversation
Speaker 10: with the parents about, you know, you want to play
Speaker 10: an instrument, and if you tell them the drums, they
Speaker 10: try to talk you out of it because because they
Speaker 10: don't want all that sound.

Speaker 18: just like, nope, I'm turning the radio all the way up.
