my life. Breaking news from beautiful Manchester, New Hampshire. An international coalition
has surely declared itself the supreme leader of all things rock and all things roll.
Tenents are rising as others have claimed themselves to be quote the senior of
real rock and roll. But the coalition, founded and headed by Jerry Robinson
says these claims are unfounded. As you can see, war can be declared
at any moment. The smallest act of aggression can be seen by either side
is oh god. We have a a briefing News Bolton being published as we
speak, the first struck for the Hello everyone, Jerry here. So I
am taken over the airwaves. I've taken over the radio and now I want
you all to understand that I am the supreme leader of rock and roll.
But not just me, of course, I would like to welcome the brand
new member of Jerry's rock and Roll Army that commander to the Supreme Leader man
so can't be down. Hey, welcome everybody. Here we go. It
is that time again, Happy Friday. Matt Connerton Unleashed. We are live
from the studios of w m n H ninety five point three FM and Glorious
Downtown Manchester, New Hampshire. Also on Comcast ninety seven. If you're in
Manchester and nope, Channel six. I did it again. Channel six now
in Manchester and hello to Oliver Online listeners across the nation and around the globe.
You can go to my website Matt Connerton dot com for all your live
streaming options, social media links, show archives, etcetera, etcetera. Today
is a Friday, September eight, twenty twenty three. It's so nice to
have you all with me. It is Friday, my favorite day of the
week here at WMNH. It's my long day and I do love it.
So i do this show till six pm, and then I'm back tonight from
eight to eleven PM for Retro Spectrum Radio with PAULI C. And I have
the honor and privilege of being one of Paul's co hosts on that show,
along with DJ Steve and of course Mike from Queen City Cabinetry. So that
will be tonight. We have a very exciting and busy show for you today.
In a little bit, a little bit later in the hour, we're
going to have Eric Pilcher's classic film review, and today the subject is the
nineteen eighty two film The Collab as I think the Young people say, with
Stephen King and George A. Romero called creep Show. It's an anthology anthology
film, very very cool. This humidity makes it apparently I'm having trouble speaking.
It's very very humid, and I thought it was going to open up
and pour, but it never quite happened, but it could happen yet if
you are in Manchester of course. And then coming up in the second hour,
we have a very special band here. We're gonna be joined in studio
by the band Soda and that is spelled st Ah Soda. That song that
you heard shadow at the top of the show, that is one of their
songs. So we're featuring some of their music today and they're going to come
in and play live in studio for us in the second hour and we'll chat
for a bit. So really looking forward to that. Also, I am
expecting a call. He did post a YouTube video saying he was going to
call in Jerry Robinson himself from the band Jerry and the Scumbags. Yesterday we
featured all the entire eight tracks from the new album called Scum of the Earth
and it also, in addition to Jerry Robinson on vocals, that features the
guitar stylings of Eric Pincher also known as Eric Pilcher. For some reason,
a stage name is Eric Pincher. I'm not sure why. I guess that
sounds more rock and roll, right. Pilcher is kind of a weird name,
but but pincher, it just sounds very very rock, very metal,
and also of course Billy Painter on drums and yours. Well, I don't
know if I shouldn't give it away, but let's just say there's a guy
named Matzo who plays bass on the album. So maybe we'll talk about that
if Jerry calls in. But yes, so that was very exciting. Tons
of positive feedback and it's already streaking up the charts. Yes, I think
it's already cracked the Billboard Hot one hundred. So so we featured yesterday.
We played the whole thing. You know, if you missed the show,
go back and check it out. It was fun. We spaced it out,
you know, didn't play the entire thing at once, but we spaced
it out throughout the show, and tons of positive response and feedback on that.
So yeah, looking forward to speaking with Jerry Robinson today if he's if
he's able to call in, and hopefully he does it soon because obviously we've
got a lot going on as the show progress. But six zero three two
five zero six ZO seven is a studio line six zo three two five ozho
six zoo seven. You can also text me at six one seven nine one
seven four four seven six. I'm on social media at Matt Connerton. You
can email me Matt at Matt Connerton dot com, and of course you can
interact endo Pine in the Facebook live chat. But the best thing to do
so that we can hear and enjoy your dulcet tones is to give us a
call at six zero three two five ozho six zoo seven six zo three two
five zero six zero seven. By the way, another quick programming note two.
For Monday of next week, we will have the world radio premiere of
the brand new single from Sepsis. It's called Romance and Reality. Heard it
today for the first time, really really good. So I believe it's already
available online for your listening pleasure. But but we will have the world radio
premiere the first time on FM Radio right here next week on the show end.
Oh well, I think I think I have an idea who this might
be? Hi, Welcome to Matt Connor. It's an unleashed Is this hello?
Matts? So this is Jerry Robinson. Oh, Jerry, I'm so
glad you called my friend. The response to some of the Earth is just
fantastic. I've played the whole thing on the show yesterday, and everyone loves
it. I know, I thought that Lady I was having issues with my
cellular telephone and it just would not allow me to call in, but that
guy said that I would call today. So you know, the reception has
been very good so far. There has been I think guysens and dozens of
streams. I believe I've said that in my previous video that I made.
Yes, and of course I meant, did you hear those crisp, rocking
guitar leads from eric a Pecha? Yes, I'll tell you what he really
rips on that guitar. It's it's quite remarkable. Who knew, Jerry?
I mean, I don't, no, I guess you know some people they
say that like you like a child podgy or something. So I think once
he just picked up the guitar that I mean, it just the music started
flowing through him and just the magic happened. Of course, your basslines are
very, very very good. You held down the good middle end, the
low end, and Billy he's just got those. He's like an animal from
them. Upp it's I mean, he was just rocking those drums out.
Yes, well he is from Idaho. That's how they do it there.
And as far as my basslines, I have to tell you, the songs
that you wrote just made it so easy to play along, to play the
bass. Really, it was effortless, to be honest with you, Jerry,
but I'm glad that I'm glad that you're happy with it. And again,
just an amazing response and reception to the album. Yes, it has
been good. In fact, it's not the great news. And I know
that you and all the other guys know about this, but that can really
actually finally fade. Yes, we have a live show that it's coming up
in two weeks. As you know, it is a private event. Sorry
for everybody who wants to be there, but it is private. Unfortunately,
maybe one day in the future we can do a public show. But I
believe it. Quote me if I'm wrong, but I believe there is two
thousand, twenty five hundred people who are who are going to be there.
I believe, So I believe that's correct. Okay, yeah, it's in
that ballpark, of course. But yes, you know it's gonna be great
and even better, we're gonna record the entire show live. I can't remember
who's going to be opening the show. I think it's one of the acts
that's been on one of your programs before. And I just I can't remember
the name of the time. It'll it'll come back to me in the future.
Yes, but it's gonna be a great night. I'm really excited to
be with all the people, hang out with all the fans, and get
to finally show that when when you actually put your mind to it, you
can do it. Instead of you know, sitting around videos and and and
all that sorts of stuff saying that you're going to do it, we're actually
out there, you know, putting mind to metal and making it work.
Oh, mind to Metal. I like that. Oh I think I dare
say there might be a song in there. Oh dah man. We just
finished an album. Now I have to write another one. We'll talk about
that later. Also, my studio producer missed a b very very kindly offered
for free course. Who I know that the Commander to the Supreme Leader's theme
is quite long. The offered to do a mix, like a shorter version
that would be perfect for your radio show. So if that is something that
you would like in the future, of course I can organize that. If
mister B would like to do that, that would be fantastic. I mean,
you know, Jerry, I'm a little bit wary of him only because
the name mister B. Sometimes I wonder if he might be involved in organized
crime or something. But having said that, yes, if you'd like to
produce a shorter version of that that I can use for the intro on a
daily basis, that would be fantastic because I do love it, so you
know, I can absolutely and don't worry about mister B. Of course,
he's not liking it. He's not like an Italian mobster or anything. He's
actually a short white kid who is from Ireland. Oh right, oh and
Irish, an Irish lad. All right, very good. Then, well,
I in that part the terms of our contract, I'm not allowed to
say his entire and name. Plus I don't want some unnamed loser from New
York accidentally, you know, coming across him and trying to use the services.
Well, I think mister B would would know better than to get involved
with anybody like that. I'll just I'll just put it that way. Yeah,
absolutely, you know. It's it's great hearing from you again. Thank
you so much for playing out Music again yesterday. That was an excellent show.
I watched the whole thing. It was fantastic. I'm and really,
I'm very excited to hear Eric Alan Pancher. I'm really excited to hear his
review of A creep show. That's a that's a great movie. And I
said it in a previous video. Maybe you can pass it along to Eric
that maybe he can do a review. It's a it's an awful, awful
B movie called Lama Geddon, like the animal Lama and AMAgeddon put together called
Lamageddon, and it's I mean, it's terrible, but it I just I
couldn't help but watch it. It was horrible. Now when did that come
out though, Because if it's if it's too recent, it wouldn't qualify as
a classic film. Oh that's a good point. Yeah, okay, Well,
maybe maybe he can do like a like a schwarzenegga movie like like uh
uh. He could do like Predator or a Racer that's a great movie,
or even total recall, or what about Twins. I know a guy from
New York who's about the same height as Danny DeVito who would probably enjoy a
review of Twins. Oh that would be great, or a jingle all the
way, probably the best Christmas movie you ever made, next to a Christmas
story. Ah, of course, absolutely. Well, you know the holidays
are I mean it is September, so the holidays aren't too far away.
That's right, that's right around the corner. We can make it work,
yes, but listen, I know you have a very big show. Uh.
Best of luck to your awesome musical guest today. I will call you
in the future and maybe we can get something else walked out. Also,
see you in two weeks when I fly up for that private show. All
the best, Jerry, all right, thanks, Jerry, all right,
very nice, very nice, the great Jerry Robinson of Jerry and the Scumbags.
And uh, we did feature some of that that music yesterday. Well
actually we featured all of it yesterday and that was a lot of fun.
And uh, what a what a great guy. And and by the way,
can I just say I think he's also inspirational and motivational because you know,
he talked about not just the music, but he also talked about the
importance of actually doing something that you say you're going to do, not just
you know, you keep saying it and keep saying it in a year after
year after year. I mean, I know people, you know, you
go back on YouTube or Facebook and you find videos from like ten, twelve,
fifteen years ago talking about how they're gonna do this, they're gonna do
that, and then they just never get to it. But Jerry Robinson is
a man of action, and I like that. Putting mind to metal,
I like that a lot. I like that a lot, very very good.
Well, thank you so much, Jerry Robinson for calling it. That
does open up the studio line for you. Six o three two five zero
six zero seven six zero three two five zero six zero seven. I do
want to say hello to everybody in the Facebook live chat. We'll see who
we have in here, and then we'll try to get into some some stuff.
As we say, Jenny of course is in the chat room and says
shalom peeps. Jay fed It joins us, of course from the great state
of Vermont, says good afternoon everyone. Dylan Reynolds is in the chat.
Very talented musician in his own right. He says, good afternoon. Jenny
was commenting. She said, I love this, commenting on how much she
likes that song Shadow from the band Soda, who is our musical guest today
coming up in the second hour. Oh, Dylan really likes that that intro
that Jerry Robinson, Well, mister b actually produced it. He said,
what a legendary intro. I agree, I agree, absolutely really cool.
Miriam Bannish joins us in the Facebook live chat and and says, good afternoon.
Dylan said, I've heard it has dozens and dozens of streams so far.
Yes, multiple dozens, I believe. Oh, Jenny clarified. So
the new single from Sepsis, Romance and Reality. It is currently only available
to Patreons. So if you subscribe to Sepsis is Patreon, which you should,
I recommend it, you can get the track now. But if you
want to hear here on the radio, you got a tune in Monday if
you're just joining us. Monday, we will have the world radio premiere of
the brand new single from Sepsis, Romance and Reality. And like I said,
I heard it today, it's really really good. Eric Pilcher, Oh,
we were just talking about you, He joins us in the Facebook laugh
chat and says, hello peeps. Oh are you are you saying peeps?
Because oh, never mind, I was about to make a really dumb joke
that before the joke fell out of my mouth, I realized it doesn't work
and doesn't make sense. So now you'll never know what the joke was,
because it would have been really stupid. And I'm so glad I caught it
before. I said. You ever do that where you make a joke and
you realize right after you say it that the joke doesn't make any sense,
and then you kind of feel self conscious because you were trying to be funny
and everyone knows you were trying to be funny, but what you said wasn't
even remotely funny, and it didn't even logically make sense, so it can't
even Not only is it not a funny joke, Okay, it doesn't even
qualify as a mildly witty quip or anything. It's just a thing you said
that immediately you're embarrassed by. That almost happened to me just now. I'll
tell you that's a that's that's terrible when that happens. Eric Eric says,
someone says today's review is my best work yet. Yes, someone did say
that. Someone did say that, Yes, Eric's film review. Obviously I
listened to them ahead of time, and uh it is I and I did
tell I don't think he'll mind ever reveal this. This was a uh conversation
we had online, but I did tell Eric, I said, Uh,
it's been one of the nice things about working with him and him being a
part of the show with these film reviews, and of course we do our
weekly segment on Wednesdays too, But it's it's been nice, uh, watching
the way the reviews have evolved over the last I think it's been a couple
of years now, the way the reviews have evolved, the way Eric's approached
it has changed, and uh, it's it's just been really cool. I
mean I thought they were good right from the beginning. But but but he
continues to evolve and grow and how he how he does it, and I
think that's really cool. Dylan Reynolds says, your guitar skills on the album
were absolutely stellar. Do you teach lessons? Yeah, yeah, Eric Pilcher,
like I said to Jerry, I mean, he just I will say
this, the guitar tone you could cut glass with it, You really could.
Those riffs, I mean just incredible. He's like he's like trying to
think of it. Yeah, there really is no one to compare him to.
He's just that good. He's just that good. Carol's Warwitz joins us
in the Facebook live chat. Dylan says, like, when you make a
joke but it bombs so bad that it sounds like a statement, that happens
to me a lot. I'll tell you what. Yes, And a couple
of years ago on the show, this was a few years ago. Jeez,
I've been here six and a half years now. I think hard to
believe it goes so fast. I paid, I made a joke. I
don't even remember who was in the room with me, but there was a
reference. It was a political reference, but I guess it was just too
much of a deep cut. I made a reference to a moment in a
two thy twelve presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, or a Mittens
of Utah as I like to call him. And the joke was a reference
to the phrase binders full of women, because that phrase was used by Mitt
Romney during that debate, And I thought, I don't remember exactly what the
context was, what the discussion was, I don't remember who was in the
room, who was on the show with me that day, but I remember
making reference to Mitt Romney's Binders Full of Women, and I swear to god,
no one believes me because it sounds like this isn't even possible, but
I swear to you it happened. I delivered the line and I actually heard
in my headphones. I could hear it an audible thud in the room of
the joke hitting the floor. It was, And the people on the show
with me, they're just staring at me, like what, And I'm like,
oh my god, I just really bombed with that. But it wasn't
even like it wasn't something where it was like the joke didn't make sense.
The joke did make sense, and I thought it was really clever. And
I heard a thud and I said, did you guys hear that? And
nobody else heard it, but I swear that joke made a thud when it
hit because it didn't hit. I mean, it hit the floor, but
it didn't hit the way I wanted it too. Very frustrating, But google
Mitt Romney Binders Full of Women. You'll you'll get the reference if you don't
know it. But apparently the people I had on the show that day,
they just weren't having it. They did not see the humor and Mitt Romney's
binders full of women. Uh, let's see. Bella Smith joins us in
the Facebook live chat. Bella Smith is posting spam. All right, Oh,
Dylan Reynolds, says George Lynch from doc and would be my guest,
oh at regarding Eric Pilcher's guitar skills. George Lynch, Yes, yes,
yes, yes, m I was never that in a although, honest,
Sleepless Night's a great song. That wasn't one of their singles, but Dream
Warriors, I think it is the one everyone remembers the most right they had.
They had a bunch of hits. I never got that much into dock
and as much as I you would think that I, although I've seen them
live, you would think that I'd be really into them, because I do
love that music and I'm an eighties kid. But let's see, are we
missing anybody in here? Roniefervero from all the way from California, says,
Hi, guys, hello Ronda. Uh, let's see, I think we
got I think I mentioned Miriam's in there. Very good, very good.
Let me give the studio line again and then we'll get into Uh, well,
we'll see what we have time for. We are going to get to
Eric Pilcher's classic film review very shortly. But six O three two five oh
six O seven is a studio line six zo three two five zero six zoh
seven. Oh. Before we go any further, two, I wanted to
mention remind you, of course, our great sponsor, the hopnot right across
the street at one thousand Elm Street. Of course, if you're just listening
on the radio from somewhere right across the street doesn't mean anything to you,
but we happen to be right across the street from the Hopcot. So anyway,
they're at one thousand Elm Street. They've got those delicious gourmet Pratzels,
they have an assortment of craft beer, and they have Big Gay Bingo.
That's right, that's right. This is what this is what's on social media.
Big gay Bingo is back this Sunday. What is big gay Bingo.
It's like bingo, by the way, I do enjoy saying it. If
you haven't noticed, it's like bingo but gay, but for real, it's
regular bingo. But instead of numbers and letters, we use slang and terminology
from LGBTQ plus culture. It's a lighthearted game that is meant to be both
fun and educational on its Reigns and glam Chowdah will be your hosts, educators
and entertainers for the afternoon. The game is free to play with purchase of
food or drink, but we do recommend, and this is for a really
good cause, we do recommend that you donate ten dollars to the Merrimack Valley
Assistance Program, a local organization that leads the approach for people in New Hampshire
living with HIV AIDS in maintaining a high quality of life through education, support
and empowerment. You can call us this week when we are open on Oh
actually, oh, there's something in here about reserving reserving a spot, but
that was on Wednesday, so I think they were they were already taking reservations,
but go ahead and give them a call. There might still be spots
open. The number is six zero three two three two three seven three one
six zero three two three two three seven three one. If you want to
call, try to reserve a spot if there are still spots open. But
even if they're not, you can always show up and watch and enjoy some
delicious gourmet pretzels and craft beer. And that starts at one pm on Sunday.
So very cool. And the other thing I wanted to make sure that
we mention is what's going on tonight for retro Spectrum Radio. This is what
PAULI c posted. Don't miss an all new, very special episode of Retrospectrum
Radio. Oh, by the way, this is I like this. You
know, every week if you've never listened to the show. Every week there's
a theme to the playlist that Paul assembles and I really like this one.
This kind of stuff I absolutely love. Here's what it is. Okay,
so we have a very special episode of Retrospectrum Radio when we feature all of
your favorite classics songs that you never knew were ripped off from other classic songs.
We'll feature songs whose lyrics were ripped off, melodies were ripped off,
and some songs that ripped off everything by sampling the original without permission. We'll
feature song plagiarisms that resulted in lawsuits, settling out of court, and even
bankruptcy, many of which were kept under the radar. Do join us,
and that is tonight from eight to eleven PM. Eastern Time here from WMH
ninety five point three FM. And by the way, Paul does open a
chat room for the show. There's a live stream on Facebook, just like
with this show. However, for Paul's show, he actually mutes the Facebook
audio. So if you do join us tonight, we'd love it if you
chat with us while you listen. Open a second browser tab and go to
WMH radio dot org and click listen live, so you can hear the show
uninterrupted while you chat with us in the Facebook. Paul mutes the audio because
obviously there's a lot of copyrighted music on the show, and it gets us
in trouble with Facebook. And you know how that is. Well, some
of you might not some of you might never have been in trouble with Facebook,
but that show gets us in trouble with Facebook if Paul doesn't mute the
show. So that will be a lot of fun. Really looking forward to
that this evening on retro Spectrum Radio, Jay fed in the chatroom says,
I look forward to tonight with retro Spectrum Radio with Paul ec Yes, indeed,
yes, indeed, I might get into just one quick thing here but
before the film review, but I happen to see this. So I've been
talking this week. The days kind of run together. You know what it
is is so much not only is there always so much news, so much
political news going on, which, don't get me wrong, it's a good
problem to have when you're doing a show like this, but there's so much
of it that the day's just run together. But I have something kind of
weird to share. But Shannon's on the line, so we'll grab this call
first. Hi, Shannon, have no hello. I love listening to on
Fridays because you were in prayer form, because it's your favorite day, it
is, it's my favorite day of the week here at WMNH. Yes,
and I was just going to request that you pretend I'm in the Facebook page
tonight and say hi Shannon in the Facebook page, okay, or make something
up? Okay, listening to an actual radio yes, sound something good?
Yeah, yeah, I'll be listening. Excellent. Well, we appreciate it.
All right, you have fun tonight, all right, thank you,
Shannon? Okay, all right, bye bye, all right, very good.
That was our friend Shannon. Just quickly, I was talking earlier in
the week about CNN. Well, let me back up a little bit.
So yeah, I think it was yesterday because Billy Painter had called into and
we talked about this a little bit. We're talking about bias and media and
so forth. And you know, when you talk at cable news, obviously
you know some easy examples. You know, on the left you've got MSNBC
and CNN, on the right you've got CNN and Newsmax. But I've noticed
that CNN seems to really be turning on Biden. And it's not been subtle,
and I wouldn't even say it's necessarily been incremental. It seems to be
fairly abrupt. But they're really dogging him on his poll numbers. And because
it's not just a matter of an approval rating at this point, it's a
matter of you know, something like almost seventy percent of Democrats, registered Democrats,
not just voters across the board, registered Democrats don't want him to run
for a second term. They want a different nominee. And I've noticed a
split, by the way, So CNN seems to have really turned on Biden
in a big way, while some of the personalities on MSNBC seem to be
kind of sticking with Biden. For example, I heard Joy Read talking about,
you know, all these these polls, well, whodo Democrats want if
they don't want Biden? Nobody can answer that, But she talks about it
in a way that's very dismissive and a little condescending, to be honest with
you. You know, she was saying today. I heard her today saying,
well, you know, something like eighty percent of Democrats don't want Biden,
But when you ask them who they do want, they can't tell you.
Well, yeah, because they don't know who else is willing to run,
you know, other than the obvious Kamala Harris. But and there's all
this buzz around Gavin Newsom, but I'm pretty sure he's gonna run in twenty
eight or thirty two even But but but the but the the change on on
CNN has been so abrupt and obvious that Fox News actually was talking about CNN's
coverage. So you have and by the way, these cable news networks talking
about each other isn't isn't necessarily new and not that unusual either, But actually
have the audio of it here. They actually ran a montage of of CNN
dogging Biden's poll numbers. They actually ran this on Fox News to show to
demonstrate how CNN has turned on Biden. Here it is, it's only about
a minute. Within his own party, You've got two thirds of Democrats saying
they wish they had another Democrat to choose from. I'm sorry, this isn't
the montage itself. This is the segment, but the montage is within the
segment from just a third of people in his own party say they are happy.
That's Peter Doocey from Fox News talking with President Biden as the top of
the ticket. Let's just stand. We have brand new CNN polling this morning,
and the numbers are rough for President Biden. They could spell Trump for
Democrats and the president's hopes for re election in twenty twenty four. Still early,
but Biden's approval rating has shunk to thirty nine percent. Nearly sixty percent
of voters think policies are making the economy worse. Close to seventy percent of
Democrats want somebody else to run for president, and the president's approval among Democratic
voters that's slipping. There is no way to spend this. CNN reads the
country's mood right now and finds that America is deeply unhappy with Joe Biden.
Oh that well, that was not much of a montage. They showed literally
two clips. Two clips is not a montage. I wish I had played
that before I shared it with you, because it really wasn't even worth it.
But sometimes I forget so media. I like the site, and I
get a lot of interesting, you know, because part of what I love
to do is not you know, I enjoy discussing and analyzing politics, but
I also enjoy discussing and analyzing the media apparatus that covers politics. But so
I like media. It's useful for that. But I forget sometimes that some
of their titles on their articles are clickbait because the title of the article is
Fox and Friends runs montage of CNN's relentless dumping on Biden's bad poll numbers.
So from that title, you would think, okay, so they ran a
montage of full, you know, all these different clips, which they could
put together because there's a lot of it going on right now on CNN.
It wouldn't be that hard to put together an actual montage. But it turns
out that's not what they did. They just showed a couple of just quick
clips from CNN and that was it. But then you get this title that
they ran a montage of CNN's relentless dumping on Biden. But there is relentless
dumping on Biden going on, it says here. On Friday's edition of Fox
and Friends, White House correspondent Peter Doocy reported on a brutal CNN poll out
this week that showed, in the words of CNN's Dana Bash quote, Americans
are deeply unhappy unquote with President Joe Biden, and Doocy included some clips two
two, I guess two is some right, it's plural from CNN saying just
that maybe, by the way, maybe these titles are AI generated. I
don't know media. I also found a few CNN clips that Doucy did not
include. You can watch both montages below. Oh will this be like an
actual for real montage if I play this, Let's see, let's see what
this says? Oh, the rage and cage and James Carville he's in the
clip. Well, that'll be exciting. Look, these polls seem to get
at the elephant in the room when it comes to President Biden. For voters,
it's his age that they're concerned about his mental acuity, his health.
What does that tell us, Well, I guess to say the least that
the polls are not We're not great, and it tells us that, you
know, voters expression some apprehension here. If it's it's pretty clear, I
mean, it's not ourselsa you can say when you look at him. I
mean, I guess the best thing you could say is not, if anything,
they're worse for Trump. But there there is apprehension out there that's undeniable.
But don't I point out, women lost an election since the Dabbs decisions,
so you know we're supposed to lose in novemb and off it year,
we didn't really look kind of tied. So I don't know, but there
is an attitude, by the way to just a comment on what Carville is
saying there, there is an attitude among Democrats that because of abortion, because
that issue in theory hurts Republicans, and I think, you know, in
the example that he gives the recent elections, I think that that's probably there's
some truth to that in general elections. But the thing is, if establishment
Democrats like James Carville are going to hang their hats on that, they're going
to be in for a pretty route awakening, I think, because you can't
take that and say, okay, because of the Dabbs decision, there's no
way Trump can be Biden because if you're looking at these polls and taking anything
from them, look at the I mean, I saw a general election poll
just the other day. It showed them locked in a you know, within
the margin of error, in a statistical tie right now. So you take
nothing for granted, and that will be the undoing if Biden stays in again.
I Mark Halperin said, Biden's definitely getting out. The decision has been
made. But that is not filtering through the rest of mainstream media, which
is very strange to me. We'll listen to the rest of this and then
and then we're gonna get to Eric's review. But pulling adopt Scene or anybody
else I've seen is not very good. There was a memo my friend Jim
a Scene said out and said Democrats need to quit bedwedding. My wife's already
changed me to rub a sheets. I mean, but do you are you
saying then that you're worried that you think the Democrats should be taking this Hope
seat more seriously, well, I mean you know, it's typically in the
August or September before the election. You know, I think predent Reagan's numbers
were not Greatred and Clinton don't know. We're you know, starting to move
up a little bit, the same thing at preason Obama. But you can't
look at this and I say that you can chart. It's just for me
to come on television and say I don't find this along meing of troubling at
all would be it would be stupid of me. I wouldn't do that.
But there are there are people in your party, James who mister Carville the
Rage in Cajun, which would be a great name for a wrestler. There
probably has been a wrestler named the Rage in Cajun at some point. But
there are people in your party who are complacent. Over on MSNBC, they're
very complacent. It's only on CNN where they're saying, oh, this is
really bad. So the dynamics of it are interesting in terms of how media
is reacting to it or in some ways not reacting. All right, let's
do this, my friends. I want to get to this film review this
week. Eric Pilchers. He's done a review of Creep Show the nineteen eighty
two classic, written by Stephen King and directed by George A. Romero,
a collab, as I believe the young people say, Well, I guess
all films are collaborations of some sort, right, But this is really good.
Like I said, I think this is Eric's best work to date.
So I really enjoyed listening to this and I'm looking forward to sharing it with
you all. So we're gonna listen to the film review, and then we're
gonna take a break, show some love to our amazing sponsors, and then
we're gonna play another track from our musical guest today, Soda, who are
going to be joining us in the second hour, and they're gonna play live
in studio, so we're gonna do all that, and then we're gonna talk
to those guys and hear some live music. So lots coming up. So
I think I already see musicians in the hallway in fact, so that's good.
But yeah, here we go. This is Eric Pilcher's classic film review
and the subject is nineteen eighty two's Creep Show. Check this out. I
told you before, I didn't want you to read this crep I never saw
us. It's crap in my life? Where do you get to who sells
it to you? I'm talking to you, young man. You want to
answer me when I'm talking to you. You remember who puts the freaking bread
on the table around here? Don't you stand? Don't be too hard on
him. All the kids are reading My boy. Isn't all the kids?
I want to know where this is going, Billy in the garbage, right
into the freaking garbage. Now you got any smart mouth about that? In
the books, he's keeping your dresser those one time a year underwear, those
set Dan. You didn't have to hit him. Not only do I find
out he's reading this crapp he's a snoop as well? Then for me to
get your conflict day. The windows are open downstairs. I better get down
a cloth and the rain will get in. No, I'll do. And
I got some garbage I want to throw away, Daddy, Please don't throw
it away. I'm sorry. The next time, young man, I find
you with a worthless piece of sh like this again, you want sit down
for a week, buddy boy, Remember that tuck In anthologies have long been
synonymous when not just horror films, but horror in television books, and even
comics. This week's film is a homage to all of those means of media,
but yet it found a way to stand all on its own as one
of the greatest anthology films made. Our next film honoring director George A.
Romero this month is nineteen eighty two's Creep Show. This film teams up two
masters of horror, with Ramero directing and the script being written by horror king
Stephen King. The film features five tales of horror and has a star studded
gas featuring Ted Danson, Ed Harris, hal Holbrook, Leslie Nielsen, Adrian
Barbou and even Stephen King's stars in one of the tales. To tell the
story of creep Show, we must first delve into some history. Creep Show
was a homage to the ec comics of the fifties and sixties, the comics
Vault of Horror, Haunt of Fear, and Tales from the Crypt. If
that sounds familiar, it was because it was made into a very successful HBO
series in its own right. These comics became insanely popular due to the stories
in graphic artwork they depicted. Eventually, they became the target of politicians and
parents alike. Such is the parent in the opening clip of this film.
W was the opening clip of our review. Our next clips explain a brief
history of EC comics. First, the late publisher William Gaines explains how the
artwork drove the popularity of the comics, in what each prime artist brought to
the table. And then we will hear how the comics became targeted by politicians
and parents and eventually led to not just their downfall, but the downfall of
EC comics itself. In the nineteen fifties, if comics were killers and my
o manner, publisher William M. Gaines was public enemy number one. My
father had been instrumental in staught in comic books back in the thirties, and
he had a whole stable of comics which included The Flash and Wonder Woman number
of others, and he sold out his entire business to see He then went
back on business and started little comic books for children he called the Outfit Educational
Comics. When Max Gaines was killed in an accident, Bill, who was
planning to be a chemistry teacher, decided to concoct his own comic book formula.
He changed the name to entertaining comics and started publishing Western war and crime
comics. Eighteen fifty, editor Al Feldstein conducted a creepy experiment in an issue
of Crime Patrol. We introduced the Crypt of Terror, and I kind of
based it on what I've envisioned when I used to listen to Archoba's Lights Out
or the Witch's Tale on radio. Gaines and Feldstein quickly realized that horror could
be a hit. We were so excited that we went ahead and changed the
titles to Tales from the Crypt and the Vault of Horror. The Haunt of
Fear soon followed, and by early nineteen fifty the first Horror comic books were
selling half a million copies per issue. Russ Cochrane, who's been reprinting the
original EC series, was typical of the kids that got hooked on EC Horror.
I had about stopped reading comic books when I was fourteen fifteen years old.
I'd sort of outgrown the superhero comics, and all of a sudden I
picked up an EC comic. Can hear were comics that were written better and
drawn better than anything I'd ever seen before, and they hooked me right back
in. Feldstein continued to create cover art and write stories based on Gaines's ideas,
but they soon began to draw on a gruesome group of artists to bring
EC's tales of terror to life. Every story was written for the artist who
drew it. Graham always got the dripping, rotting corpses, slimy cookie stuff
oozing out of the solid kind of things, and Johnny Craig, who wrote
his own stuff. Everything was nice, clean looking, except terrible things were
going on in this beautiful, clean situation. Joe Orlando could go either way.
He could have a clean job, or he could have an who's job,
and he did a lot of either. Orlando himself remembers the awe inspired
by another EC alumnus, Zack Davis in the Sweat, and we all envied
him that he just toissed it off and he's just pure genius, you know.
It was room and that he could do four complete pages a day if
he wanted to, and we'd counted up. Oh my god, he can
make that much money. EC artists were among the most talented in the history
of comic art. I and now Outcry leads to the end of EC comics,
but not everyone appreciated the joke, and in nineteen fifty three a Senate
subcommittee convene to find out if comics created juvenile delinquents. My name is William
Dayes. I was the first publisherman these United States, the publisherror comics.
I'm responsible. I start of him. If you remember Mayor Walker who once
said, I never knew a woman to be ruined by a book, and
I never knew what child would be ruined by a comic book. There's just
under nonsense. We were really the much shocked people in the world, and
we discovered that we were these terrible people who were causing juvenile delinquency in America,
which is what happened and would put us out of business. The controversy
helped kill the horror comics, but he sees gore stories wouldn't stay buried.
Since this film is a homage to the aforementioned ec comics, it couldn't just
be a simple horror anthology on film. It had to have the look in
the field of a comic book that had come to live. Romero did this
by using many tricks, such as bright vibrant lighting to indicate horror instead of
implementing traditional cuts in the film, Romero and his crew used comic book blocks
to indicate past sage is a time in text blocks to establish areas and if
more time had passed or an exact amount of time. In our next clip,
lead animator Rick Catizone speaks on how this comic look was achieved for the
film by using animation and why it is so key to the film success.
Right, a few reels and it's almost something that would be impossible to capture,
and so they suggested that probably sell animation would be the better way to
go with that, and so we created animation segments of the actual comic book
that would cause it to blow down the street and land in the garbage can,
soon still be able to open to the page that they needed it to,
and then we would zoom in and do match dissolves. The other part
of the problem that they were dealing with was that Tom's creep at the window.
The reason we're going to have a big crane pulled back over the whole
neighborhood with the creep floating in the air and so on. And I believe
that it was a budgetary consideration. I believe the crane was going to cost
become a twenty thousand dollars shot probably, and that wasn't in the budget,
and they thought, well, you know, it is an ec comic takeoff,
and it seemed natural to have the creep through a flash of lightning and
a dissolved change into an animated creep because the EC comic book characters were always
hand drawn, so it seemed natural to go to a hand drawn creep as
well. The animation process was pretty involved, particularly with the creep, because
you're trying to achieve a character, and of course you're trying to achieve motion
that's interesting and believable, and so the process of course is doing drawings by
hand, frame after frame. Actually we do key drawings first and then these
are some of the drawings. You can see detail in the drawings. The
key drawings are done first, and then I decide how many drawings should go
in between, and then those are filled in afterwards. Try and get the
key poses first, to get the dynamic action for the main elements of the
motion, and then we fill it in afterwards. And then he flies back
over the neighborhood here of course, and then he points down towards the garbage
can here near the end, and zooms in. It was really difficult in
terms of drawing the hands. The hands on some of the parts of this
are acting on a different level, but it was actually pretty difficult to draw
because there's no flesh, and so when you have bony segments that are basically
cylindrical, it became some very demanding drawing and it was one of the better
challenges that I've had in my career. As I stated early this week,
I chose to do this review in this specific way because I felt that to
choose just a handful of scenes from this great film would be way too difficult.
That is, because all five stories shown in this film are truly great.
There is no way or no fair way to choose which wants to include.
To be honest, that could be a whole month of reviews all in
itself. That's how great this film really is. Our final clip is our
man of honor himself, George A. Romero discussing this film on a Pittsburgh
talk show shortly before its release. Of Note here how Romero separates this film
from the horror films that were popular during the eighties, and he has a
very special and hilarious story regarding the villains of the final story of this film
different stories based on a young child's it's a comic book. It's I guess
the real story of the movie is about a comic book. And we go
into the comic book and there are five stories in the pages turn and the
drawings turn into to live action and we see five stories. Yeah, well,
thank you. It's it's a lot of fun. Steve Wright's traditional Gothic
horror. This isn't a typical has many of the horror films recently have been
what they call Dyson slice slasher movies, and this isn't like that at all.
It's uh, this is really gothic. Has its root in Gothic traditions,
and Steve believes it's much more frightening when you know that something's behind the
door. Your imagination makes it a lot more frightening. Once you see the
monster, you start dealing with it. You can so sort of resolved.
So much of the time and Creed Show has spent saying don't go in there,
don't put your hand in that box. And it's more anticipatory than it
is shock, and it's it's one of the things about I mean, I
like all the variety of the shows. As you say, do you know
the five different stories? But there are certain parts of it that are really
very very realistic, and those are the things that are most frightening, you
know, dealing with the situation that could could possibly happen in life here.
Yeah, I think it's hard for I would like to think that I will
ever have to deal with three million cockroaches coming up up out of drains and
things. But that, you know, I understand you had a great search
to find those bugs. Well it wasn't really a search. It's just that
you know, and everyone says, boy, moviemakers really go to some extremes
to pull off the scenes they need. The fact is, cockroaches are very
expensive, plain old American styled cockroach couts at a laboratory bread under laboratory conditions
fifty cents of teas, and we needed in order to fill that room about
fifty thousand them, and it was actually more economic. We sent entomologists to
Trinidad and they got the real article out of caves down there, and we
have to go through government clearances and everything to bring them in and make sure
that they were you know, they weren't infested with any, infected with anything
and all that. So it's all done on supervised program. These guys were
big. They were, they were, But when you bring them, you
bring them into this country. Cockroaches I thought were afraid of light. I
mean, well, that's part of the trick. They don't take direction well,
so you have to sort of trick them into doing things. And the
only way we could get them to move one way or move another way would
be to have they they'll run from light into darkness. So when we needed
them to run that way, we would just make it dark over there and
put a lot of light over here, and they don't go running that way.
You really can't get them to do very much. They don't have a
big repertoire of talents, but they they're creepy. Oh yeah, that's true.
Now, the book itself, the script was written by Steven Steve King.
Yeah, Steve and I have become really good friends over this project,
and we're going to do another. We're doing one of Steve's novels called The
Stand, which was the novel right after The Shining, and that's hopefully we'll
be one of the next projects that we do. Sadly, Romero's in King's
version of The Stand was never made. However, in good news, Unlike
last week's film, this film found great success at the box office. It
was released November tenth of nineteen eighty two and garnered over five million dollars it's
opening weekend, making it the number one film that week. Overall, it
made over twenty one million dollars, making it the highest grossing horror film for
Warner Brothers that year. This film success also led to a revival for orientthologies
both in cinema and TV. Tales from the Dark Side, which was created
by Romero, Tales from the Crypt, and the Twilight Zone revival of the
eighties all oh adeta gratitude to Creep Show for them being brought to the small
screen in for theatrical releases. Films such as Tales from the Hood in Monkey
Shines became monumental classics in their own right and showed that I anthologies could be
successful on the large screen as well. Without the success of Creepshow, one
could argue that all of those would have never found the successes that they have.
This film has spawned two sequels, one in nineteen eighty seven and a
direct to video release in two thousand and seven. In twenty nineteen, the
fledgling streaming service Shutter announced Creepshow would be made into a series. It has
aired since and was recently renewed for its fourth season, set to begin next
month. This just shows the lasting legacy of this film and adds to the
legend of two masters of horror. I hope you joined me. Next week
when we continue our month long tribute to George A. Ramero, we will
look at one of his rare non horror films, the nineteen eighty one drama
Night Writers starring Ed Harris for WM and eight Hure and Matt Connerton Unleached.

where does the name come from? Soda? So it's funny a little story.
I was writing the song Soda about two two and a half years ago,
and when it comes to lyrics, I tend to I like to do
stream of consciousness a lot of the times, and I kind of let that
breed where the lyrics take me. And as I was writing the instrumentals for
the song, I kept hearing the phrase poison the water, poison the water
as you're hearing the chorus. Yeah. And I don't know why I heard
that phrase in my head. It was just it kept like it repeating day
after day, and I was like that, that's kind of cool. So
I looked it up online and I was like, this probably is something to
do with the bill. I'm sure there's something in that vein because I think
it's I wouldn't consider myself a religious person, but I find a lot of
the imagery and themes in the Bible very intriguing. I think you can pull
a lot from that. Yeah, so I looked it up and it turns
out that soda it's a story from actually very early Testament, and those that
were thought to have cheated on their significant other were put through a trial of
the poison water. Oh, and if they drank the poison water and they
died, they were guilty of cheating. If they survived, they were innocent,
and those accused were called sota. Oh I'll be damned. Yeah,
no, pun intended. So that's where that came from. Wow, Oh
that's pretty cool. See if i'd be a little bit alarmed if I kept
hearing that phrase over and over in my head, Oh definitely, you know,
especially if it was the same voice that tells me to burn things,
I'd be pretty freaked out. But but you created a song with it,
so that's great. So yeah, So, so you like the title so
much you decided to also call the project. Yeah, it's really hard to
come up with band names nowadays because every single band name has been taken,
right, So I looked on Spotify at the time and there were no other
sodas, so I said, you know what, I like it. We'll
call the project Soda very cool. We have a question for you in the
Facebook live chat, Isaac Banks is asking hashtag Soda what's your favorite song of
Susanne Vega? Do you have a favorite Susanne Vega song? I need to
apologize to him. I don't even know who Susanne Vega is. I apologize,
that's all right. I suspected that might be a kag Isazac Banks acts
asks very strange questions. Yeah, it's from Greensboro, North Carolina. That's
how they do it. Do you know the song? My name is Luca.
My name is Luca. Oh sure, that's Suzanne Vega. Okay,
I think that's I think that's our only really big hit though, So well
that's my favorite. Then there you go, there you go. Well,
you've got your guitar, you want to play something for us and dine?
Here, you play and then we'll talk some more. Yeah, absolutely,
I'm gonna play. This is the very first original single that I ever released.
This came out Saint Patrick's Day of twenty twenty one. It's called Dying
Breath. All right, When you hear my name? Do you cry like
God? Do? When you see my face? Do you die like God?
Do? I can hear your voicing. I don't know how I should
feel. I can see your smile, and I don't know if it's real.
Is it the same for you? Woo woo woo, woa whoa,
woa oh whoa. Everywhere I go I can feel you there, Even in
my room, I can feel your stare. God knows. I've tried to
kill the shadows that remain, but when I'm on my own, I relive
all the pain. Is it the same for you? But have you let
it go? Is it a shame for you that we couldn't grow? I'm
not sure why I care? Why I wanna know? Is it the same
for you? Don't want to sleep because I know I'll meet you there,
don't want away because the truth is hot too bad. God knows. I've
try to kill the feelings that remain, but when I'm on my own,
I know it's all in vain. There hasn't pean a second yet. You
haven't crossed my mind. You know I've tried with all my heart to leave
it up behind. I'm holding on to something that I cannot fix this time.
It's not so easy to except maybe you're doing fine, and yeah,
maybe you're doing fine. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
oh whoa? Is it the same for? But have you let it go?
Is it a shame for you that we couldn't grow? I'm not sure
why I can't. Why I wanna know? Is it the same for?
There hasn't been a second yet. You haven't crossed my mind. You know.
I've tried with all my heart to leave it up behind. I'm holding
out to something that I can I fix this time. Is it the same
for? Is it the same? Is it the same? Is it the
same? As it the same? Is it the same? Is it the
same? Is it the same for you? Very nice? Very nice?
If you're just joining us? Casey Drone is here from the band Soda,
is it who else has involved in that? With you? So? I
initially asked my longtime friend from high school and drummer Johnny Dayshan. I've known
him for years. I've always wanted to be in a band with him.
I just never have been up until this point. Yea, So it's a
dream come true to be working with him. The bass player is actually my
younger brother, Killian Drone and he is a senior in high school, so
it's very cool to have him in the band as well. And then we've
gone through various guitar players. Originally Brandon Curcio from after Image has helped fill
in and he actually does all the solos that you hear on the recorded songs.
Oh okay, and he mixed and mastered my EP that was released today.
Oh wow, but very cool. Lately, I've been working with Zoe
Pancratz Harvey Olsen. She's been helping play guitar at some of our live gigs.
So that's a wonderful addition because she just adds a lot to our sound.
She's a phenomenal player, monster guitar player, so very excited to have
her join. She joined earlier this spring. Okay, yeah, cool.
Cool. It's nice too though that you know, if you have to you
can always do it just by yourself too obviously, you know, des grab
your guitar and do it that way too, so you have some flexibility.
Absolutely. It's it's funny because in Afterimage, it's always been a group effort
when writing our songs with Soda, it's all me my band members don't mind
that I do one hundred percent of the writing. I hand them the music,
they listen to it and they play their parts. They'll embellish little things
here and there. But it's the first project where I've kind of had complete
creative control. Yeah, so it's nice and that it definitely gives me the
opportunity. I wrote them, so I know everything, so I'm able to
sit here today with my acoustic and play him for you. So yeah,
yeah, Now, so on the because we've played a couple of studio tracks.
On the studio tracks, who who is I mean? Are you doing
most of the or maybe all of it on the studio tracks? So I
really admired how Dave Grohl the first food Fighters album was completely done by himself.
Yeah. Unfortunately, I don't play drums and I'm not that much of
a shredder on lead guitar. I'm very I'm pretty decent at rhythm guitar,
but I wanted to try and do as much as I could buy myself.
So on the EP, I recorded the rhythm guitar tracks, the bass tracks,
and vocals. Johnny Dayshaun played drums. He did a different percussion that
you'll hear like tambourine and shaker and stuff like that. He provided some backup
vocals, and then Brandon Cursio, like I said, he did all the
lead guitar tracks and solos. Okay, okay, very cool. There's somebody
in the chat room. I have a feeling he might be related to you,
Dave Daron that's my dad. Excellent, excellent. Yeah, it's good
to have supportive parents. Absolutely. Yep, you're getting some love in there
too. A Miriam Banish says that was amazing. She really liked the song
you played. Thank you very much. Isaac Banks says, awesome. And
do you cover tunes? Do you do any cover tunes? He's asking I
do do some cover tunes. I'm actually going to play one for you guys
today. But yeah, no, I like to cover all sorts of different
stuff. Soda is very much in the realm of punk and SKA, so
I like to do various covers. But in the past we've done American Jesus
by Bad Religion. Actually on Spotify. The very first release that I put
out was a cover of the Mighty Mighty Boss tones They will need Me Music,
Oh no kidding, And it was really cool because I released it my
first everthing was soda, and two weeks later they actually shared it on all
their social media. That's cool. Yeah, it was good, good,
cool right off the bat. And did you did you know they were gonna
do that? Like, did they contact you directly or they just did it?
No. I'm Facebook friends with a couple of them, just having gone
to the shows for years, and they're pretty open with their fans, which
is really cool. But they're not really the type that, like you sent
of a message and they'll get right back to you. You know that they're
living their lives too, so I don't know. I guess one of them
saw it and they really liked it. They showed the rest of the band
and then they shared it, so that was all on them. I had
nothing to do with that, which was really cool. That's excellent. Oh,
your dad says, your mom is there too. And brothers a phenomenal
whole family listening in. How many brothers you have? I have four younger
brothers. Oh my god. Oh yeah, big family, huge family,
all boys. Oh no kidding? Are you so you're the oldest. I
am the oldest. Yeah, are your brothers? Do any of them play
play instruments, or just my brother Kellyan, who's in the band right,
A couple of my brothers. One of them played trumpet for a year or
two and then he got sick of it, so he could have been my
horn player, but he bailed right right ten years ago. Oh wow,
no kidding, boy, Yeah, I can't imagine, you know, I
my first sibling. I was already ten years old when my first sister was
born. So it's like I kind of almost feels like I grew up an
only child. But it's just it's hard. It's always been hard for me
to imagine what it must be like to have that many siblings. You know,
it must get crowded, I would think, But then again, you
grew up with that, so you're used to it. It's a full house,
though, that's for sure. We're always doing something. Yeah, Yeah,
that's cool. I saw somebody else pop in here too. Oh I
can't find him now, Oh that's all right, they'll say. Oh,
Jason Fetterson in the chat room. I was asking, now, this is
a question that he asks everybody. He's asking, have you ever considered increasing
the length of your beard? Now, that's a particularly interesting question for you.
Since those of you only listening who can't see Casey does not have any
facial air. I don't so when COVID hit, I tried to grow a
little got Yeah, it's not here anymore. So that's that's all I'll say
about that. It is unusual, though, it seems like everybody asks facial
hair these days. I know, you know, when you're able to grow
it, it must be nice. You rarely see anybody clean shaving anymore.
It's kind of funny. Oh, your dad says, ask Casey about his
Kermit tattoo. He already asked that last time. We're getting repeat questions here.
Yeah, I have a Kermit tattoo, Kermit the Frog right on my
arm. Oh okay, yeah, I love the Muppets, big Muppets fan.
So for those that don't know me, I have a Kermit the Frog
tattoo on my arms. My brothers make fun of me a lot for that.
Oh yeah, nothing wrong with that. I don't remember asking you about
that last time. Yeah, he called in. Oh he called it,
he said, ask him about the Kermit tattoo. Now it's coming back like
this might be a recurring. The studio line is open if you have any
questions for casey six zero three two five six zero seven. Uh. Mike
Pelapito from Queen City Cabinetry, one of our great sponsors, and I get
to hang out with Mike tonight on retro Spectrum Radio with Paul C from A
to eleven PM. He called you a very talented musician. Oh, thank
you very much, very nice, very nice. Do you want to you
want to play another song? Absolutely? Yeah, I'm gonna play an unreleased
song. It has been recorded, just has not been released yet. Okay,
this is called sunrise, all right. They see the winds of chain
up here after the rain, but only some might find where the sunlight lies.
No matter how they mightter, you don't ever let it. Father,
you're strangling day, say you will live another day? Did you grow from
the pain or just suffer in vain? Sometimes it's hard to find your own
peace of mind. I lie awake, can think of you and other selfish
things I do. I just can't understand how to make a mass. When
will the sunrise? Sunrise? Had enough moonlight? Moonlight, So seek of
the night, the night, bring on the sunlight, sunlight. My heart
was on my sleeve. I know you watched it. Please hemorrhad dring in
my hands. But still my love will stand no matter how much pain you
feel. Don't never doubt that you are real. You're not the only one
who's still searching for the sun. When will the sunrise sunrise hide enough moonlight?
Moonlight? So sick of the night, then night, bring on the
sunlight, sunlight? When will the sunrise sunrise hide enough? Moonlight? Moonlight?
So sick of the night the night? Bring on a sun that sun
I like it. What's that called again? It's called sunrise? It's very
nice. Thank you nice? Now? When is that? So? That's
been recorded but it's not out yet? No, yeah, I was.
I actually recorded seven songs in this Love Hate recording session, and it really
took me some time to figure out what I wanted to be on the project
and what I didn't want to be on the project, And that one ultimately
did not make the cut because I felt that the recorded track really has a
different feel to it. I wanted to go for a police eighties like I
was thinking that when you started playing that at the police. Yes, it
has a very The bed's too big without you? Bring on the night that
Those were the two big influences from it. Yeah, so it has a
very eighties reverbi kind of reggae scot feel, and I thought that it kind
of could stand out as its own single, So that'll come out at some
point down the line, but just chose not to put it on this Love
Hate release. Yeah, yeah, no, it's really good. Thank you.
Where did you How did you learn to sing? Did did you take
lessons or you self taught or I learned to sing in my car? Because
you have a very powerful voice like you project very well. Thank you very
much. I played trumpet for almost ten years, and I don't know if
that has anything to do with it. I know that makes sense. Ronnie
James Dio, who I consider one of the greatest, most powerful singers of
all time, often attributed his power and his voice from playing trumpet, and
I never knew that out about Dio. Yeah, he started out playing trumpet
in various jazz bands. I fit, wow. I didn't know that.
So we had a lot of air control, and I don't know if that
has anything to do with it. I know that a lot of my favorite
singers are punk singers and they yell, so I just kind of went for
it and I found my own way without hurting my voice to project. Yeah.
Yeah, no, that makes sense though about the trumpet, that totally
makes sense. Do you ever does your voice ever hurt from that at all?
Or you're pretty pretty good with it? No, I've I know,
early on in high school when I sing, I didn't really have much technique,
not that I have any technique now, but I think I've kind of
refined it a little bit to where I know what I'm doing a little bit
more. But early on, when I do the kind of Dicky Barrett growl,
yeah, I definitely would get a sore throat after that, but I've
kind of figured out a way to do that where it doesn't hurt anymore.
I can still get the growl. And I've also learned how to do a
semi like vocal fry, which is using the higher end of your vocals.
I use a mix of the two, and I think just the power behind
my voice kind of makes it so I don't hurt myself, which is Yeah,
it's been a long time coming. Yeah, it's so important to to
be able to do that without because you don't want to be you know,
you don't want to be one of those guys who eventually, you know,
your voice kind of blows out right. Uh, do you know? Uh
Sam Beechard from House Lights and Always Forward the promoter, No, I don't.
We we had we had him on the show and you'll you'll probably run
into him at some point because he's doing a lot in the scene. But
yeah, we were talking about the importance of taking care of your voice and
being able to sing without hurting yourself and getting a short throat because he does
the he's does the growley stuff and the straight singing and and it's it's impressed.
It's always impressed me. Uh, people who can really push their voices
without without hurting themselves. I took vocal lessons over the years from a few
different vocal coaches, and but I never I never got good enough to be
able to I'm a good harmony singer, you know. I can sing with
other people and find the octave and kind of lock in, but on my
own I get lost. But I remember it was a you know, even
when I was taking lessons, it was a challenge for me to just being
able to learn how to project without without hurting my throat right now. Yeah,
No, for me, I've always been very insecure as a singer.
I don't necessarily think that I have the best voice, but I enjoy bands
where that's not really necessary. I love punk, I love Scott my favorite
singer, Sticky Barrett of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, who I think he has
a great voice. But to you know, a common listener, they might
say, what the heck is that all about? But so I think listening
to bands like that really gave me the confidence to do my own thing and
sing how I want to sing and be completely me. Does it? Does
it? He have a thing I seem to remember a long time ago.
I've never seen them live, but I remember seeing a video where he uh,
and I guess it's something that he says sometimes live where he'll coming up
on a chorus to a song, he'll yell out something like, sing along,
but if you can't sing, do what I do? You got it?
I did that every show. I always laughed every single time. Yeah.
Yeah. And in terms of so the songs, so the songs are
completely written by you do the lyrics come first? And then it's very tough.
I half the time I don't even know what I'm doing. A lot
of times I'll write the instrumentals first, lyrics completely separate. I know a
lot of singers write lyrics to the music. I don't do that at all.
I like to write stories and versus completely on their own. And a
lot of times what I'll do is I'll take influence from other songs that i'll
hear in terms of how they do cadences, and I'll use the cadences from
other songs to kind of figure out how I want to sing them. Yeah,
And that's just looking at the lyrics, and then I'll just try to
cram them into songs that I write. And sometimes it works, and sometimes
it doesn't have to go back to the drawing board. But every song that
you'll hear from me today was something that there were two separate entities that kind
of merged together after a little bit of working it. Yeah, yeah,
Well do you want to Should we play another studio track? Absolutely? Go
ahead? What what? What would you? Uh? Why don't you play
love Hate? That's gonna be the next single. We're hoping to record a
music video for that at our next show, which I'll talk about a little
later. Yeah, yeah, And so these are all from now. So
this is one of the ones that came out today. Correct, Yes,
you got it? And so are these? Are these a collection of singles
or are they an actual EP? It's an EP? Yeah. So.
The lead single, Soto was released two weeks ago and the three other songs
were released today. Okay, gotcha, gotcha? All right, let's give
this a listen. This is love hate from Soda to tell her to my
heart but my another soulver golling from the Star want me three shoulders, love
to be alive and leave me in the town with other weather God? How
much love to how much need to love you? So y want tell into
trance? They brought me closer today so much I still want to tell you,
but I need to say my bad how much old love to be you.
I'm gonna tell you I love to you with no gong so love song,
no w SNG love. Can't I be any more? Can't be any
more? Can't be any more, can't be any more? Can't be anymore?
What God? So taking the snow, take snow, take the snow,
make me stow. Yeah, that is love hate from Soda, which
is spelled by the way s O T A H. So. In case
you're looking up online. Uh, And Casey Drone is here with us in
studio. He's on the couch, he's got his guitar, he's been playing
some songs and we've been talking and having a great time this afternoon on Matt
Connerton Unleashed. If you are just joining us and you'd like to to chime
in six zoo three two five zero six zoo seven, the studio line is
open six ZO three two five zero six ZO seven if you have any questions
or feedback or anything at all for Casey and uh. Yeah, we were
talking off air while that song was playing. I was saying to you,
who's who's the drummer on that again? Johnny DeShawn, Johnny DeShawn, Yeah,
I gotta give gotta give him props exolutely really drives that song. And
ye and yeah, we were kind of talking a little bit too. I
was saying, how you know a lot of because it's it's easier than ever
to do it if you want to have program drums. But but a song
like that needs real drums. Absolutely. The energy is lost if you don't
have the human touch. Yeah, and I always felt that punk music is
all about rawness, it's all about power. It's all about being completely authentic,
and to do anything other than that just feels the opposite of punkin right
right. Oh yeah, Oh, so here's another. I assume this is
someone related to you, Jody West Drone. That's my mom. Oh,
very nice. Yep, she says, Casey sounds amazing, and she said,
Matt, you are great. Well, I like your mom. She's
got she's got a good taste in radio hosts. Well, do you want
to play another you want to play another live song for us? Absolutely?
Yeah. This is another original. This one actually has not been recorded yet,
but I'm hoping to do so in the next few months. This is
a song called rain. All right. Every day I'm wondering who I want
to be, and every day I'm pondering how do you see me? And
time? No, howll I can be? I see clearly the rain.
I find comfort in the pain. M M in the rain, in the
rain, in the rain, in the rain. Oh, it's pretty,
very nice, very nice. If you're just joining us, Casey Drone is
here. We've been talking about his project Soda. We've played some studio tracks
and we have one more two that we'll we'll definitely get in before the end
of the show, and he's been playing live in studio for us, and
I want to make sure we before we I mean, we're not too too
short on time, but I do want to make sure we mentioned You've got
a show, who are you you playing with? Coming up? It's an
important show. Yeah. I am actually opening up for Murphy's Law. Oh
yes, yes, Grade two in Manchester, New Hampshire on Friday, September
twenty second, just days after both of them open up for Rancid at the
House of Blues in Boston. It's funny. I got tickets to the Rancid
show months ago before I even knew that this Manchester show is going to get
announced, because I really wanted to see Murphy's Law. They used to tour
with the Bosstones and Fishbone and all that back in the early nineties late eighties.
Yea, So I was like, oh, I gotta go see that
Rancid show. And then just a few weeks ago it was announced they're playing
in Manchester their own solo show, Murphy's Lawn Grade two. So I knew
that I had to play that show. I was like, there's no way
I am not playing the show. That it's ten minutes from my home.
So I got on the bill and I'm going to be direct support that night.
Excellent. Good for you, the full the full bands, full band
that night. Yes, very good, very good. Tickets are on sale
now if you go on our Instagram, Instagram, dot com slash Soda Band,
there's a link tree in our bio where you can directly buy tickets from
me through the event bright link and that just you know, it helps the
promoters see that I'm out there doing my best for the shows. We've been
putting out posters all over town at all the record record stores, music shops
all around so excellent, excellent. Yeah, it's so important when you're working
with promoters, you know, to to kind of kind of show your work
in a way, you know, show the effort that you're putting in.
Yeah, that's excellent. Will that be the biggest show that you've done today
with this project? Absolutely? Yeah, it's it's so big that we are
dubbing it our EP release party. We'll have physical CDs for thep we released
today. In the past, I have opened up with Soda for Sponge and
really yes, that was back last spring, about a year and a half
ago. I opened up for Hung Down in New Bedford. Yeah, and
we also just recently opened up for this scott punk band out of Texas called
Hans Gruber and the die Hards. They're they're starting to blow up right now.
They're on Scott Punk International Records and they're they're really blowing up. They're
they're on tour right now. So that was really cool to be able to
open up for a fellow SKA band. Yeah, yeah, no doubt,
that's a cool name. Uh, your mom says in the chat room.
Yeah, let's all go to the Jewel. That's where it is. I
come to the Jewel Friday, September twenty second. It's gonna be great.
Tickets on sale now, I'll be there, give you a free CD.
It'll be fun. She also said, how do you talk to an Angel?
I don't know why she is that? Do you cover that song?
I don't. I have no clue what that means, because there's a song
called how do you talk to an Angel? I can't remember the guy's name
though, but yeah, for some reason she said that in the chat room.
Interesting, and Jenny is sharing all the links by the way to your
Instagram. Thank you. Oh, she said, I was responding to someone
else. Okay, sorry double double texting. That's right. Well did you
want to play? How many? How many of you done acoustics so far?
Today? I have three? Three, I had one more that I
had planned. If you would like me to yeah, yeah, let's do
that. I want to make sure we get that in before we run out
of time. Absolutely love hearing your play, so yeah, definitely awesome.
Yeah, this is a cover. I know. It was requested earlier.
It was asked if I do any covers. This is a drop kick Murphy's
cover. Skinhead on the MBTA. All right, well, let me tell
you a story about up big old skin Head. On the Tragic and Faithful
day, she put ten sets in his pocket, kissed his wife, and
his family went to ride on the MBTA. But did he ever return?
Now we never returned, and his fabe is still unknown. He may ride
forever neat the streets of Boston. He's the skin had who never returned.
Skinhead goes down to the Kendall Square station and he changes for your maker plane.
The conductor says skin Had unneed a nickel skin that punches him in the
brain. Did he ever return? Now? We never returned and his babe
is still unknown. He may ride forever neat the streets of Boston. He's
the skin head who never returned. Now all night long, skin It drives
through the station thinking what can I go when? See can apport to buy
Cracking Chelsea or Rabundlin Rocksberry. But did he ever return? No, we
never returned, and his babe is still unknown. He may ride forever neat
the streets of Boston. He's the skin head who never returned. Skinhead's wife
goes to the Kendall Square stay changes for Jamaica plane and through the open window
she throws skin at her grenade as the train comes a rumble and through what
did he ever return? Now? He never returned and his fade is still
unknown. He may ride forever eat the streets of Boston. He's the skin
that who never returned? Right now, you citizens of Boston, don't you
think it's a scandal how the skin head stole the train? What did he
ever return? Now? He never returned and his fade is still unknown.
He may ride forever eat the streets of Boston. He's the skin that he
never returned? Well did he ever return? Now? We never returned and
his babe is still unknown. He may ride forever, eat the streets up
Boston, Eat the skin and who never returned? You see the skin head?
He never returned, I said the skin Well, he never returned.
Excellent, excellent, very good. Thank you. Yes, Casey Drone is
here from Soda. And we should mention also After Image, which is the
absolutely you're on here with before it. Did you want to catch us up
on what's going on there? We were kind of talking off earlier. Yeah,
well, After Image has been in the studio. We just recently recorded
four new songs that will be out eventually. Don't hold your breath. It's
gonna come out at some point. But we really want to make it big.
We want to go over the top, have some music videos, have
a nice release for that. So it is coming. You just gotta be
patient. Yeah, yeah, very cool, good good. Miriam Banish said
in the chat room, Oh, that was so fun. And uh,
Melanie La Liberty says, come on, he never returned. He returned apparently
not. Oh, and your mother clarified. Someone had asked her what her
favorite Jamie Walter's song was that how can You Talk to an Angel? I'm
not going to cover it. Sorry, yeah, no you shouldn't. That's
funny. I bet I know, I bet I know who was asking her
that. And in the chat room too, some of the conversations are going
in there. So so how much music does Soda have released at this point,
because you've got the four that just came out, right, Yeah,
and I actually only have two other ones. I have Dying Breath, which
I played acoustically earlier, and then that Bosstones cover. So okay. I
In the next year, I'm hoping to get a lot of music out there.
I have a full album written that needs to be recorded, but I
have a about ten or eleven songs that are on the way excellent. Yeah,
and uh yeah, it's cool too because they're the ones that you just
came out with their lyric videos on YouTube, which is which is nice because
you know, something I have to do when I'm getting ready for the show
is I have to go through and make sure the songs, you know,
I see if I need to make a radio at it. But with you,
that wasn't a problem because you don't have any swears in anything, so
that was which was nice. I appreciate that very very conveniently. I'm forever
making radio audits of things, which I don't mind doing, but but it's
nice to not have to do it. Where do you record? By the
way, we record in town at Blackheart Sound. If you know where the
Manchester Music Mill is, right over on Elm Street, it's right behind there.
Brandon my guitar player from Afterimage, and he's been doing all the mixing
and mastering for me for Soda. He kind of worked his way in there.
That's where after Image records too, and that's what he does for his
profession, so now he's kind of working their part time and he does a
great job. So yeah, it's nice to just drive ten minutes down the
road and record your stuff. Excellent. Yeah, and it must be nice
to to record with somebody who already is so familiar with how you work.
Right, absolutely, let's make it so much easier. Oh yeah, things
go like we'll book a three hour session and we know exactly what we're going
to be doing for that three hour session. There's no room for like,
well, we might get to this. It's we kind of have it locked
in at this point where we work very well with each other. Yeah.
Is it the same approach with Afterimage as it is with this project in terms
of just you you go in knowing exactly what you're gonna do, and pretty
much After Image is a different beast because the songs there are a little more
conceptual, a lot longer. We're looking at like our latest batch material has
I believe, an eight minute song and a nine minute song. Those are
not going to be recorded in the same sense as a three minute punk song,
right, So we do those in pieces, like we'll have one session
solely dedicated to drums, then the next one will be guitar and bass,
and then eventually we'll get to vocal. So it's a very different approach when
it comes to the After Image music. Yeah, yeah, no doubt,
Melanie said she's fixated on that song. She says, I just think he
would have returned at least once, you know, to the for the holidays
or his mom's birthday. Yeah, you know, as the song goes,
and it's it's actually an old folk songs. It is. The Drop Kicks
changed the lyrics a little bit, but it's uh. I believe it used
to be called Johnny on the MTA and that's been around for about one hundred
years. But I don't know that. The legend says he never came back,
and we don't know where he is. Is he living in down there?
We don't know. And Jay Fed said, thank you for not swearing.
I'm not a fan of the profanity. Actually, you know, it's
funny in that in Skinhead on the MBTA you might have noticed that there was
a verse that I completely cut out. It's because it's throne as Okay,
well well done, Yeah, Melanie says, So he doesn't really know if
he returned or not. We'll never know who knows And no, we'll never
know just as the song goes. And if the original song is one hundred
years old, then you know, he'd probably be passed on by now.
Probably probably. Yeah. What should what should people know about? Where to
find your music, website, social media, anything you want to make sure
our listeners know about. Yeah, we're on everything. We're on Spotify,
Apple Music, any streaming service that you can think of, we're on.
You can purchase our music or you can get it for free on our bandcamp,
which is stah dot bandcamp dot com. We have a link tree which
has all of our links on there. It's link tree dot Soda band and
yeah, it has everything from our YouTube, music videos, the streaming links,
tickets, tour dates, everything you could possibly want. March is on
there as well. Yea, all on the link tree. Do you do
all that yourself? All the social media stuff and everything? Is that all
you? I do it? I run everything. I make all the graphic
design I actually do get some help from. My artwork is oftentimes done by
Jerry Matts, who's a legendary punk ourist. He's been in the scene since
the eighties from New York and he does a lot of my artwork for me.
Oh cool, very cool. How did you get connected with him?
So, as I've said about fifteen times already on this show, a huge
Bosstones fan. He actually designed the Mighty Mighty Boss Tones logo. He did
their bulldog, which I actually have tattooed on my arm right here. Ye.
He various t shirt designs, and I'm in a Facebook group online for
the Boss Tomes. He started posting his artwork. He's like, here's my
original copy. So I messaged him, I said, would you be interested
in doing art for me? He's like absolutely, So him and Dicky they've
they've gone back since the eighties, he's like just a super nice guy and
he's designed a couple of my merch designs. There's a shirt online that you'll
see that has an angel on it and that was done by Jerry Matts,
super talented guy. Oh, very cool, very cool. Well, in
a moment, we'll we'll play that last. We have one studio track that
we haven't played yet. Better than you. Yes, yeah, I like
this one a lot too. It's pretty cool. But yeah, this has
been This has been wonderful, Casey, thank you so much for coming in
and uh listen if you miss any part of today's show it we'll be up
in a little bit at WMH radio dot org and at my website Matt Connerton
dot com. And uh, I'll remind everybody too, don't forget. I
will be back tonight from eight to eleven pm for Retro Spectrum Radio with Paul
ec and I get to hang out with Paul and DJ Steve and Mike from
Queen City Cabinetry for that. I don't forget too. This weekend to visit
our wonderful sponsor, the Hopknot right across the street at one thousand Elm Street,
and make sure you check out soda and again it's spelled s O T
A H. Does anybody ever get that wrong? Like on a flyer or
