28:32 Speaker 10: Yes, yeah, I appreciate that. Appreciate that. And then so now, Jason,

28:37 Speaker 10: how did you get involved in this project? You're you're

28:40 Speaker 10: one of the Argonauts.

28:41 Speaker 18: I yeah, since since band mix. Aaron reached out to

28:46 Speaker 18: me last year year and a half ago and about

28:52 Speaker 18: about doing a project. And at the time my house

28:54 Speaker 18: was under construction and stuff like that. So I couldn't

28:59 Speaker 18: do anything. So I like, I'll get back to you.

29:01 Speaker 18: I'll get back to here. I'm like, but you know,

29:02 Speaker 18: I kept we kept bouncing back and forth and like, hey, like,

29:06 Speaker 18: my I'm still not back in my house yet, but

29:08 Speaker 18: once as soon as I am, i'll let you know. Yeah,

29:10 Speaker 18: I got back in my house and he did.

29:12 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and I went right to his house

29:15 Speaker 3: and his his wife was all freaked out because the

29:18 Speaker 3: stranger was showing.

29:19 Speaker 10: Up right right Caarel house.

29:24 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then we just started, uh playing for brand

29:28 Speaker 3: new songs from scratch. We played a couple of my

29:30 Speaker 3: old songs, just you know, to get the groove down,

29:32 Speaker 3: and then we just started writing and writing and writing,

29:34 Speaker 3: and it really took most of the year to write

29:39 Speaker 3: and record.

29:40 Speaker 10: Yeah, what's the meaning of like what is an argonaut?

29:44 Speaker 3: So so that's that's that's the old Greek stories. Uh uh.

29:49 Speaker 3: There a group of travelers, one of them was Hercules, uhh,

29:52 Speaker 3: and you know they were set off on on on

29:55 Speaker 3: a quest. It's the old movies like Clash of the

29:58 Speaker 3: Tight Ends, uh, Jason in the Argonauts, Hercules, the old

30:02 Speaker 3: fifties sixties movies with the stop motion. I used to

30:06 Speaker 3: really like those when I was a kid, and you know,

30:09 Speaker 3: I was just sitting there smoking and uh, it just came,

30:12 Speaker 3: you know, it came to me and I thought it

30:13 Speaker 3: sounded neat and I went with it.

30:15 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know.

30:16 Speaker 3: And then so, like the album has a three songs

30:20 Speaker 3: on it that are kind of loosely based on like

30:23 Speaker 3: the old movies, like the intro overture for the Argonauts, right,

30:27 Speaker 3: and it starts off with like drums in the background

30:30 Speaker 3: and it builds up the horns and war. Yeah, it's awesome.

30:34 Speaker 3: And it's like the opening credits to those old movies,

30:37 Speaker 3: you know, because they had all the credits at the beginning. Yeah,

30:40 Speaker 3: back in the old movies, and they would have all

30:42 Speaker 3: this epic music and then these cards like you know,

30:45 Speaker 3: changing around of like different gods and stuff.

30:47 Speaker 1: You know.

30:48 Speaker 3: So that's that was kind of you know, it was

30:50 Speaker 3: all very loosely based off of that old stuff.

30:54 Speaker 10: Right, right, Oh, very cool.

30:56 Speaker 3: Yes.

30:57 Speaker 10: Now, so when you play a lot now obviously, as

31:00 Speaker 10: we said here, you're you're entirely self contained.

31:03 Speaker 3: Which is which is pretty cool.

31:05 Speaker 10: But when you when you play live in venues, obviously

31:09 Speaker 10: we don't have a lot of room here. So this

31:10 Speaker 10: is necessary, but do do Jay and and and you're

31:14 Speaker 10: amy perform with.

31:15 Speaker 3: You No, No, it's it's the same. Well, I've never

31:19 Speaker 3: performed on a song except for Grind.

31:21 Speaker 10: Oh so maybe when so when he plays Grind, maybe.

31:24 Speaker 3: That's something we've discressed.

31:26 Speaker 10: And yeah, the little stage right, Oh, she doesn't really.

31:30 Speaker 3: Have space fright because uh we we had like a

31:32 Speaker 3: performance part of the Grind video, right and she she

31:36 Speaker 3: was up there performing with me and we had like

31:38 Speaker 3: a whole crew of people, yeah, you know, dancing and everything.

31:42 Speaker 3: It was it was kind of like a mock performance,

31:44 Speaker 3: but she was getting into it. Yeah, you know, so

31:47 Speaker 3: I think she'll just she'll be fine. You know if

31:50 Speaker 3: I make an edit yah for when she wants to

31:52 Speaker 3: join me, right right, you pull out her vocals and

31:55 Speaker 3: then she can do it.

31:55 Speaker 10: There you go, There you go? Now is there anyone

31:58 Speaker 10: else on the album?

32:00 Speaker 3: So you know, it's just it's Jay. It's Gary Smith.

35:42 Speaker 3: out then. Yeah, those are my shows right now.

35:45 Speaker 10: Okay, okay, excellent. Is it difficult to find because what

35:49 Speaker 10: you do is obviously very unique.

35:51 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's insanely difficult to find gigs. I've been

35:57 Speaker 3: told I don't fit in a lot of places, and

35:59 Speaker 3: a lot of places just don't respond. Yeah, you know,

36:01 Speaker 3: and it's hard, like I don't have a like I

36:03 Speaker 3: don't have a live band with me, and it's it's

36:06 Speaker 3: people just like don't understand it if you explain it right,

36:10 Speaker 3: you know, So I don't know, like, you know, I

36:12 Speaker 3: keep grinded, yeah, you know, and I get gigs here

36:16 Speaker 3: and there.

36:16 Speaker 10: Yeah, and you know, when you do play out though,

36:20 Speaker 10: like if you're on a show with other with with

36:22 Speaker 10: like full bands, I bet they love you, yeah, because

36:24 Speaker 10: you're set up and takedown.

36:26 Speaker 3: So I'm great for opening any band, yeah, act because

36:31 Speaker 3: yeah it's I'm I'm out in like a couple of minutes,

36:34 Speaker 3: you know, off on the side stage, and then it

36:36 Speaker 3: takes me forever to pack up there. But right right,

36:38 Speaker 3: I can get everything off the stage within a couple

36:40 Speaker 3: of minutes. Yeah, you know, it's really nice. Yeah, no,

36:43 Speaker 3: that's amazing.

36:45 Speaker 10: Is it like, is it easier doing it this way

36:49 Speaker 10: because it's all you or like, do you ever have

36:52 Speaker 10: moments where you think this would be easier with a band? Oh?

36:54 Speaker 3: Yeah, So so the Erin and the Argonaut's idea first

36:58 Speaker 3: came about. I wanted a live band to play this album,

37:04 Speaker 3: and uh, the idea was to form, you know, a

37:07 Speaker 3: live band and call that band. And you know, I tried,

37:13 Speaker 3: I tried, I tried, I tried it, and it just

37:16 Speaker 3: didn't happen. So you know, like it's either that or

37:20 Speaker 3: don't play, you know, so I do what I gotta do, yeah,

37:24 Speaker 3: to get my show out.

37:26 Speaker 10: Yeah, exactly exactly. How How did you like, do you

37:30 Speaker 10: record this on your own or no kidding?

37:33 Speaker 4: Yeah?

37:34 Speaker 3: I recorded, yeah, on a laptop. Most most of it's

37:37 Speaker 3: at my house and then I bring all my stuff

37:39 Speaker 3: over to his house and I record all his drums

37:42 Speaker 3: there on drum days. Okay, okay, this was quite an

37:47 Speaker 3: experiment that I've never recorded drums like this before. I've

37:51 Speaker 3: only done like two mics in a room before, and

37:53 Speaker 3: this was like a whole bunch of mics for the

37:55 Speaker 3: first time, so like, uh, it was a lot of

37:58 Speaker 3: trial and error.

37:59 Speaker 10: Yeah, no, out No, that's a great experience though. So Jason,

38:05 Speaker 10: in terms of your becoming a part of the project,

38:07 Speaker 10: have you ever done because this is, like I said,

38:10 Speaker 10: it's pretty unique, right, Yeah, is this the most unusual

38:13 Speaker 10: thing you've done in terms of playing drums.

38:15 Speaker 4: More or less?

38:15 Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean, I'm figured I'm more like a I'm

38:18 Speaker 18: a I'm a progue like metal rock, jazz, yeah, you know,

38:22 Speaker 18: And I mean I've played I played in everything from

38:24 Speaker 18: jazz bands to to metal bands. And actually we never

38:27 Speaker 18: played gigs. We never played gigs together, but actually played

38:31 Speaker 18: a lot of shows at my rock club that changes

38:34 Speaker 18: he used to play back in the day I put

38:37 Speaker 18: in the band Akila Dama.

38:38 Speaker 19: You know.

38:39 Speaker 18: So, but as far as being as far as uniqueness,

38:41 Speaker 18: this is the most unique I've done, like band wise, Yeah.

38:46 Speaker 10: So, so how does that work in terms of like

38:49 Speaker 10: what you're going to play like Aaron, do you do

38:52 Speaker 10: you explain what you're looking for or Jason do you

38:54 Speaker 10: just kind of feel your way through it? Or I mean,

38:56 Speaker 10: how does how does that work a little bit of both. Yeah.

38:59 Speaker 3: Yeah, Sometimes it's jamming. Yeah, and sometimes like I just

39:04 Speaker 3: write the songs at home and then I throw it

39:06 Speaker 3: on the Google Drive and I send it to him

39:08 Speaker 3: and then we go to his house and uh, I

39:10 Speaker 3: play it and we work it out.

39:12 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.

39:13 Speaker 3: So it's kind of like a half and half thing.

39:15 Speaker 19: You know.

39:15 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's you know, just formed together, and sometimes I

39:18 Speaker 3: bring him songs.

39:19 Speaker 10: Right, I would imagine too, so as you're as you're recording,

39:24 Speaker 10: and you know, and you're doing it yourself, using able

39:26 Speaker 10: to the songs, probably change from what you originally had

39:30 Speaker 10: in mind. Right, I would imagine that I.

39:32 Speaker 3: Write, I write like drum machine stuff, yeah, you know,

39:35 Speaker 3: and enable him so you know, I'll do like a

39:39 Speaker 3: like a techno drum bait, and then I bring it

39:41 Speaker 3: to him and he throws his drums on there you

39:44 Speaker 3: want to pull him out.

39:45 Speaker 4: Yeah.

39:45 Speaker 10: But doing it the way you do it allows for

39:47 Speaker 10: a lot of experimentation obviously, you know, because I'm sure

39:50 Speaker 10: you have like when you first conceive of a song,

39:52 Speaker 10: I'm sure you have ideas of what it's going to

39:54 Speaker 10: be and then it ends up being something.

39:55 Speaker 3: I'm always open. Yeah, that's kind of nothing. Nothing is absolute,

39:59 Speaker 3: you know what it's got to be like this.

40:01 Speaker 18: Right, that's kind of the adventure of it, right, yeah, yeah,

40:03 Speaker 18: but that was that was Hiding behind the Sun too,

40:06 Speaker 18: because I play. I play a lot of like weird

40:08 Speaker 18: math stuff, like on my own practicing like nobody else

40:12 Speaker 18: but myself, like I record it, yeah, you know, and

40:14 Speaker 18: on my go pros and stuff. And he saw one

40:16 Speaker 18: that I did, and he's just like, hold on and

40:19 Speaker 18: he went he wrote, he wrote Hiding behind the Sun,

40:22 Speaker 18: which changes from five to to three to four and

40:25 Speaker 18: then back and back and forth and really fine.

40:29 Speaker 3: Signatures in it. How many three?

40:31 Speaker 1: Yeah?

40:31 Speaker 3: Yeah, five four and then three and then four four.

40:34 Speaker 10: Yeah, wow yeah and then back again. Yeah.

40:39 Speaker 3: You know, I want I wanted to see if I

40:40 Speaker 3: could do it like Pink Floyd did it with money. Yeah,

40:43 Speaker 3: you know, so like they switched back and forth, true,

40:47 Speaker 3: from jazz times to rock time.

40:49 Speaker 10: Right, right. Has your approach changed over the years with uh,

40:55 Speaker 10: with with what you're doing with your solo work?

40:58 Speaker 3: I mean, oh yeah, I mean every year it's different. Yeah,

41:01 Speaker 3: you know, every year you gross more you want to try,

41:03 Speaker 3: Like what one year I did a techno album, you know,

41:06 Speaker 3: you know, yeah, a couple of years ago, and that

41:09 Speaker 3: was very different, you know, and my first album is

41:12 Speaker 3: very different from myself. I feel like everything's getting gotten

41:15 Speaker 3: more smooth as far as the sound, the songs themselves,

41:20 Speaker 3: that have been better.

41:22 Speaker 10: Yeah.

41:22 Speaker 3: Every year, it's it's amazing. It's it's just it's like

41:29 Speaker 3: a reflection of your whole year. It's because I put

41:33 Speaker 3: out an album once a year. Now it's my goal.

41:36 Speaker 10: Okay, every fall put out a full length Okay, are

41:39 Speaker 10: you already working on the next one?

41:40 Speaker 3: No, no, I'm not. I'm going to be taking the

41:45 Speaker 3: old Christmas break right and then and then come back

41:48 Speaker 3: and start fresh. Yeah, you have to take a couple

41:50 Speaker 3: of months off, you really do. Yeah, yeah, learned that

41:53 Speaker 3: like right away.

41:54 Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely absolutely. So Grind is the first video. Do

41:59 Speaker 10: you have plans to make more videos from this album?

42:01 Speaker 3: So that's not the first video that there's this video

42:03 Speaker 3: for the End of Time. That was the first video,

42:07 Speaker 3: and that came out like a month ago.

42:09 Speaker 10: Oh I didn't realize. Okay, I'll go back and check

42:11 Speaker 10: that out.

42:11 Speaker 3: Yeah, the video is awesome. It's I wanted to do

42:14 Speaker 3: a film noir look to it, so uh yeah, me Jay,

42:19 Speaker 3: And then I got Gary on that video too, so cool.

42:23 Speaker 3: I made him climb through like a little covey up

42:25 Speaker 3: to my attic and filmed him in my attic. You know,

42:29 Speaker 3: with Dale sticking out of that. You got to watch

42:33 Speaker 3: your head otherwise you're gonna need a tennis shot.

42:36 Speaker 10: Right.

42:36 Speaker 3: It's a great video. My wife thought it was my

42:40 Speaker 3: best video yet when I did it.

42:42 Speaker 2: Yeah.

42:44 Speaker 3: Yeah, did shoot some a little bit of it, all

42:47 Speaker 3: the all the scenes where the camera's floating on me.

42:49 Speaker 10: Oh okay, okay, oh very cool. Yeah, yeah, so I'll

42:53 Speaker 10: have to check that out. And that's cool that Gary

42:55 Speaker 10: Smith is in that. Yeah, he's been on the show

42:57 Speaker 10: a bunch of times and actually times when we closed

42:59 Speaker 10: the segment, that's the song we're gonna we're gonna end with.

43:03 Speaker 10: So looking forward to sharing that with everybody. Very cool.

43:07 Speaker 10: Is is there anything we didn't mention that you have

43:09 Speaker 10: coming up? I only ask because you you came extra prepared.

43:12 Speaker 10: You brought a piece of paperwork.

43:13 Speaker 3: No, No, I mean the big things that it uh

43:16 Speaker 3: were the gigs?

43:17 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, very good. And so this is out on

43:20 Speaker 10: all the streaming platforms assume correct? Yeah? Yeah, any plans

43:23 Speaker 10: to make physical copies of anything, or maybe you already

43:25 Speaker 10: have or that's something every every everybody agonizes over do

43:28 Speaker 10: we do that or not?

43:29 Speaker 3: You know why because it because it because it's like

43:32 Speaker 3: fifteen hundred to three thousand dollars and then it's like

43:35 Speaker 3: a four to six month wait. Yeah, you know, it's

43:38 Speaker 3: just it's such a chore, right right, like I want

43:42 Speaker 3: it and it's but it's it's a it's a lot. Yeah,

43:44 Speaker 3: they'd like to get it out on time, right, it

43:47 Speaker 3: just is the nightmare. It never happens, right maybe next year.

43:52 Speaker 10: Yeah, And do you have any other projects that you're

43:54 Speaker 10: doing or are you just focused on now solo stuff

43:56 Speaker 10: at this point?

43:57 Speaker 3: That's it. Yeah, it's been the solo stuff. You know.

44:00 Speaker 3: You know, I have friends and if they, uh, if

44:02 Speaker 3: they asked me to come help home and stuff, you

44:04 Speaker 3: know I will.

44:05 Speaker 4: Yeah.

44:06 Speaker 3: But yeah, that's that's just been it very cool.

44:09 Speaker 19: Oh.

44:09 Speaker 3: Another thing about the Grind video let me let me

44:12 Speaker 3: do this shout out is uh that was filmed at

44:15 Speaker 3: Jim Hurley's place. Uh uh uh Turbo Cats, Oh you've

44:20 Speaker 3: met him. He was there right in here not too

44:22 Speaker 3: long were on the show, Yeah, and he Jim Hurley

44:25 Speaker 3: plays the Grinder, Yeah, and so he played he plays

44:29 Speaker 3: like the antagonist, you know, yeah, chasing, chasing, chasing me

44:35 Speaker 3: around with his grinders, you know. So he did a

44:39 Speaker 3: great job doing that.

44:42 Speaker 10: By the way, I just realized I got confused. We

44:43 Speaker 10: already played the end of Time. I don't know what

44:45 Speaker 10: we played that one. You're going over to the seat.

44:48 Speaker 10: I'm sorry, I'm all discombobulate. That's a busy show this week,

44:51 Speaker 10: but a busy weekend for us. We have spelfy Fest tomorrow.

44:58 Speaker 10: gonna be a lot of fun. He's going to give

45:00 Speaker 10: a talk at the beginning, and I'm gonna hypnotize some people,

45:03 Speaker 10: and so we're trying to many people as we cant

45:05 Speaker 10: a short one short Jenny. Jenny's giving a short talked

45:08 Speaker 10: over the show. But uh yeah, and I'm gonna mcuh

45:11 Speaker 10: introduce some of the bands and stuff. So it's gonna

45:13 Speaker 10: be a good time. But Jason, do you have any

45:15 Speaker 10: other Every drummer we have on the show is in

45:17 Speaker 10: like ten different bands. You must have something.

45:19 Speaker 18: No, I'm honestly like, this is this is it? Like

45:22 Speaker 18: I'm trying to find, you know, I live. I live

45:24 Speaker 18: right on the mass New Hampshire border, and nobody, nobody

45:27 Speaker 18: around me wants to play anything other than metal or

45:30 Speaker 18: like maybe blues or whatever. And you know, and I'm

45:33 Speaker 18: I'm I'm a weekend.

45:34 Speaker 10: Warrior I have you know.

45:35 Speaker 18: So yeah, exactly that too. So it's just like and

45:39 Speaker 18: it's something like I have you'll see in the video.

45:43 Speaker 18: Then at the end of the time that my kit,

45:45 Speaker 18: like I don't travel with that, like I don't. That's

45:47 Speaker 18: why I'm a studio drummer because I have my kit

45:50 Speaker 18: the way that I want to, you know.

45:52 Speaker 10: And it's just like and I.

45:55 Speaker 18: When when we were getting the project together, was when

45:57 Speaker 18: I was finalizing my room, you know, like I said,

46:00 Speaker 18: another projects around my house. So it was like I

46:03 Speaker 18: already I built the I built the room, and I'm

46:05 Speaker 18: building the studio around my drum set. So you know,

46:08 Speaker 18: I'll know what anybody is. He's available for studio work. Yeah,

46:11 Speaker 18: come to me, come to me, and I will play anything.

46:15 Speaker 1: Yeah.

46:15 Speaker 3: And also he's got Jay Staples lessons.

46:17 Speaker 9: Yeah.

46:17 Speaker 3: Oh, if you're interested in drum lessons.

46:20 Speaker 10: Oh, okay, very cool, very cool.

46:23 Speaker 4: Yeah.

46:23 Speaker 10: The drummers are most of the drummers we know they're

46:26 Speaker 10: they're in so many different bands. And you know, my

46:28 Speaker 10: theory has always been when you first have the conversation

46:30 Speaker 10: with the parents about, you know, you want to play

46:32 Speaker 10: an instrument, and if you tell them the drums, they

46:34 Speaker 10: try to talk you out of it because because they

46:36 Speaker 10: don't want all that sound.

46:39 Speaker 18: My dad was blaring music when I was little. He's

46:41 Speaker 18: just like, nope, I'm turning the radio all the way up.

46:43 Speaker 10: Yeah.

46:43 Speaker 3: You know my father was a drummer.

46:46 Speaker 19: Yeah.

46:46 Speaker 10: No, that's uh, that's good, that is uh, that is yes, excellent, excellent.
