Speaker 1: these guys. We have jam tomorrow in studio with us.
Speaker 1: Welcome gentlemen, Thank you, Mike and Gary. Why don't you
Speaker 1: guys introduce yourselves for the uninitiated, and then one of
Speaker 1: you can introduce this fine gentleman who is not on
Speaker 1: a mic.
Speaker 2: I'll all start. My name is Gary Smith. I play
Speaker 2: eh string guitar mostly for these guys.
Speaker 1: Which which I love to watch you do. By the way,
Speaker 1: it's fascinating to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you don't see a lot of them, no, no,
Speaker 2: but yeah, yeah. And then I've been I've known m
Speaker 2: HP for whoever six years at least like that.
Speaker 3: I'm MHP.
Speaker 4: Thank you for having us, Matt, always good to be here,
Speaker 4: always good to see you, and of course joining us
Speaker 4: here standing up on beautiful six string acoustic is Mark Vadney.
Speaker 3: Actually there's a mic right there you can.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he just wanted to He doesn't want to lawyer
Speaker 1: say anything.
Speaker 5: It's all about today.
Speaker 3: There you go, There you go.
Speaker 1: I love that track Killing Time that we opened with.
Speaker 3: Thank you. That's we had fun, right and that that's
Speaker 3: got some real sort of mythic themes. To it. My
Speaker 3: wife actually helped me write that.
Speaker 4: One, but oh okay, I got allusions to like Old
Speaker 4: Testament and Greek myths and Roman myths, and it kind
Speaker 4: of ties it all together. Coin for the Ferryman, you know,
Speaker 4: for Kiroen crossing the river sticks into hades, and oh my,
Speaker 4: a ring for the sea from the story of the Minotaur,
Speaker 4: and it it kind of it brings. It brings a
Speaker 4: lot of I don't know, a lot of nerdy mythic
Speaker 4: concepts together, which is sort of what I like to
Speaker 4: do when I write.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, no, that's really good. You guys are gonna
Speaker 1: play a few songs live for us. We maybe we
Speaker 1: should just jump into the first one because I want
Speaker 1: to I want to make sure we have plenty of time,
Speaker 1: and I love to hear you guys play.
Speaker 3: Cool all right.
Speaker 4: I think we're gonna open with a song called Don't
Speaker 4: Ask Alice. I'm a big Lewis Carroll fan. In fact,
Speaker 4: the name of the band Jam Tomorrow comes from a
Speaker 4: reference from Through the Looking Glass, where the Red Queen
Speaker 4: and Alice are having tea and Alice asks if she
Speaker 4: can have some jam, and the Red Queen says, you
Speaker 4: can have jam yesterday. You can have jam tomorrow, but
Speaker 4: never jam today, and it kind of became a political
Speaker 4: play on unfulfilled political promises. It's also kind of a
Speaker 4: play on the Latin for to be I am, but
Speaker 4: also on the fact that when Mark and I started
Speaker 4: we had a hard time lining up days to practice.
Speaker 4: I was always like, oh, no, we can jam tomorrow,
Speaker 4: but we can't jam today. So it's a kind of multifaceted.
Speaker 4: But as I said, I'm a big Lewis Carroll fan.
Speaker 4: This is sort of if you took Alice in Wonderland
Speaker 4: and through the looking Glass and you put him in
Speaker 4: a blender with about a half a bottles single malt
Speaker 4: and poured it out into about a five minute song,
Speaker 4: this is what you'd get.
Speaker 3: And this one's called don't ask Alice all right.
Speaker 1: Jam tomorrow, Live in studio.
Speaker 6: Fell down a hole.
Speaker 5: And a somehow lost my kitten like a misplaced soul.
Speaker 5: These words were never written, landed underground with the fantasy
Speaker 5: of strangers, strangeness compound a rabid warning of danger. What
Speaker 5: does it hit mean? What does it really matter? At
Speaker 5: a tea party with the march Hare and the mad Hatter?
Speaker 5: What does it hit mean? As we slashed through the
Speaker 5: ocean of jeez? What does it hidn't matter? After all?
Speaker 7: The easy in a game of cards.
Speaker 5: And I somehow lost my ace, I let down my
Speaker 5: guard and now I've lost my place. Landed in court.
Speaker 7: Against the Queen of Hearts.
Speaker 5: I had to retort as she tore my world apart?
Speaker 5: What does it hit mean?
Speaker 7: What does it really matter?
Speaker 5: At a tea party with the march have the Mad Hatter?
Speaker 7: What does he hit me? As I cut through the death.
Speaker 5: Why does the hind feel the os stacked against my name?
Speaker 5: Running as fast as I can, running as fast as I.
Speaker 8: Can on a checker board.
Speaker 7: Upon who's lost her plan?
Speaker 6: Life?
Speaker 7: A night without a sword?
Speaker 5: Working from I might to I can, landed on the square,
Speaker 5: just to run the red Queen's race, never getting there
Speaker 5: can be a daunting pace. What does it hit me?
Speaker 5: What does it really matter? At a tee party with
Speaker 5: the march hare and the mad Hatter? What does it
Speaker 5: hit me as I sweep the mere pieces the side?
Speaker 5: What does it hidden matter? The people on the.
Speaker 4: The side, on the side, on the side on.
Speaker 5: The other side.
Speaker 6: At least try.
Speaker 1: Very nice, very nice. If you are just joining us
Speaker 1: jam tomorrow is here with us live in studio?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 7: Is that one? Is that one new?
Speaker 3: No? We wrote that a couple couple of years ago,
Speaker 3: three years ago, probably. Oh okay. Oh, we've got about
Speaker 3: twenty five originals.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, you've got a lot. So I didn't realize
Speaker 1: you had that many.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've only got a few recorded studio wise. We're
Speaker 3: working on that.
Speaker 4: We actually just spent three days in the studio in
Speaker 4: the last month chipping away at that.
Speaker 1: Okay, and where are you recording?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 3: Board House Studio? Is that right?
Speaker 2: You have Board's House Production in uh in Brookline?
Speaker 7: Uh?

Speaker 1: very cool.
Speaker 6: How many songs?
Speaker 1: How many songs have you recorded at this point? You've
Speaker 1: got twenty five originals? How many songs have you.
Speaker 3: In various stages?
Speaker 4: I think Gary and I have one that we wrote
Speaker 4: sort of independent of Mark. After Gary had a car accident.
Speaker 4: We spent some time when he was laid up with
Speaker 4: some hardware and some traction. I wrote a couple of songs.
Speaker 4: We recorded one of them, and then we've got we
Speaker 4: actually recorded Sign of the Times, which we did chemical
Speaker 4: distance and actually traces all the way back to my
Speaker 4: early hip hop project, Liderman's Load. And then we recorded that.
Speaker 4: That'll be the third time I've recorded that in the studio.
Speaker 4: And then we've got five originals that are unique to
Speaker 4: this project.
Speaker 1: I'm particularly yeah, I'm particularly curious. Here a Sign of
Speaker 1: the Times. When it's ready, that'll be that'll be very interesting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we've got Jam Tomorrow's here with us in studio, played
Speaker 1: some songs. Plus we opened with a new studio track
Speaker 1: too killing time and uh, do you guys want to
Speaker 1: go and play another one?
Speaker 3: I'm sure what do you want?
Speaker 7: Always?
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got plenty. This next one's called Life with
Speaker 4: the Side of Death. This one's a this goes back
Speaker 4: to kind of the beginning of our project as well. Okay,
Speaker 4: this is uh, this is about three friends of mine.
Speaker 1: All right, Jam Tomorrow live in studio.
Speaker 5: Well JC, he has restaurant on Elm Streets. You built
Speaker 5: it at twenty four with about thirty two seats. Yeah,
Speaker 5: the drinks sad, the dishes were perfect, but the world
Speaker 5: got in the way.
Speaker 7: When it was too late.
Speaker 8: To rehearse it.
Speaker 7: You could hear that beautiful man.
Speaker 9: Say, I'll take life with the sight of that.
Speaker 5: A smile, but I'm crying. One needs my brother as
Speaker 5: the context all I try to remember everything.
Speaker 10: I'll take life with the side of day. Now, mister Dave,
Speaker 10: he had, he.
Speaker 5: Had a stone factory, stone factory. He built a land
Speaker 5: out of locks, but he never found the key.
Speaker 9: Gather rocks and receipts were her fence.
Speaker 5: But the past got in the way when there was
Speaker 5: no one left to endorse him.
Speaker 7: You knew there was.
Speaker 5: No negs to play, but you could hear him saying,
Speaker 5: I'll take life.
Speaker 7: With the side a side about of dime heats my
Speaker 7: breath as cold takes home, and not try.
Speaker 5: To remember anything, not taking.
Speaker 7: The life with that of the.
Speaker 5: And ace he he helped Cord on the street, heat
Speaker 5: of the King, giving smiles to the little people.
Speaker 11: Candy hunching over everything, Dazle music, gaslition work perfect.
Speaker 5: But reality it got in the way. And as the
Speaker 5: vinyl flipped over, I could hear, my dear friends.
Speaker 9: I'll take life with the sight of death. The music
Speaker 9: is playing, but I'm cont As the cold takes home,
Speaker 9: I try to remember just one day, y'all.
Speaker 7: Take life with the sight of.
Speaker 12: Ya.
Speaker 11: See you don't see.
Speaker 9: Life with the sad.
Speaker 1: Wow, Jim Tomorrow is here with us live in studio.
Speaker 1: You guys sound amazing. Thank you, Absolutely fantastic. I could
Speaker 1: listen to you guys all day. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: remember you planned that one before. I don't think I've
Speaker 1: heard that one.
Speaker 3: No, No, I'm trying to.
Speaker 4: We try to switch it up every time we come
Speaker 4: in and bring a different studio tracks and play different
Speaker 4: stuff live.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is my new favorite. Well, thank you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great, great song.
Speaker 4: We haven't played that in a little while. And those
Speaker 4: are actually each of those are stories about people that
Speaker 4: I know. Yeah, I'm not going to tell you who
Speaker 4: they are, but they're uh, they're all represented, right, Yes.
Speaker 1: Very good, very good, Now for.
Speaker 3: The whole wide world?
Speaker 1: Is that the name of the track?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Did you guys want to play that one liv? Or
Speaker 1: are we going to play the studio track?
Speaker 4: Why don't you play the studio track? I'm pretty happy
Speaker 4: with how it came out. There's a marked an amazing
Speaker 4: job tracking harmonies on that. It probably took us three
Speaker 4: hours to double track the harmonies on that because I
Speaker 4: kind of wandered timing wise. Yeah, I sort of took
Speaker 4: some theater prerogative on that little jazzy backstory on that
Speaker 4: is my wife's cousin, Rachel Corey, went to do some
Speaker 4: piece work in Palestine twenty two years ago. She was
Speaker 4: like twenty or twenty one years old, and she end
Speaker 4: up losing her life in an altercation just trying to
Speaker 4: help some people protect the water well and protect their home.
Speaker 4: It's a sad story. There's a lot of sides to
Speaker 4: every story. I'm not trying to take a side on
Speaker 4: this story, but that's sort of the background for this story.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember you guys played this. I think the
Speaker 1: first time you were on the show as a band,
Speaker 1: you guys played this and really really great tracks.
Speaker 3: So thank you.
Speaker 4: Most of the chorus and some of the lyrics actually
Speaker 4: come from her journals. She was an amazing journalist. She
Speaker 4: I remember as she was out there, we were getting
Speaker 4: journal entries from her email almost every day to sort
Speaker 4: of follow her progress. And after her passing, Alan Rickman
Speaker 4: Snape actually took her journals and turned them into a play,
Speaker 4: and that play actually played on Broadway. And then oh
Speaker 4: kind of Got Got Kicked off a Broadway and we
Speaker 4: saw it in Boston, and we saw it in Long Island.
Speaker 3: And it's an amazing play. It's a woman play.
Speaker 4: She's just on stage, just essentially sharing her journal with
Speaker 4: the audience over the course of almost two hours.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 4: Very moving story. If you've got some time to look
Speaker 4: up Rachel Corey.
Speaker 3: It's not a.
Speaker 4: Happy tale, but it's a it's a powerful it's a
Speaker 4: powerful thing. It's important, indeed, And so this is sort
Speaker 4: of my take. I dug into her journals really deep,
Speaker 4: and I sang it first person, trying to really be
Speaker 4: representative the first story.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, so we'll give this a spin. This
Speaker 1: is really really good. This is whole wide world, and
Speaker 1: the band is jam Tomorrow.
Speaker 12: A child of the puge.
Speaker 5: It sound a dove in the town parade, raised by
Speaker 5: caring parents, aware of the world they made. Dad went
Speaker 5: to v Now you can't come back the same.
Speaker 12: I grew up with.
Speaker 7: Sad, si comb and burning flaking.
Speaker 5: Let me stand alone at the edge of the ear
Speaker 5: and look at it. Honestly, maybe my worst swirls around me.
Speaker 7: But one thing is stationary.

Speaker 5: Let them hang in the air for a while, look

Speaker 13: My name is Rachel, trying to.
Speaker 5: Bridge the distance between the moon and the star. I
Speaker 5: flew across the world to Rafa, and it seemed so far.

Speaker 1: That is powerful, That is whole wide world. The band
Speaker 1: is Jam Tomorrow, and Jam Tomorrow is here with us
Speaker 1: live in studio. By the way, in the chat room,
Speaker 1: I think, uh, Auto, our friend Auto Kinsel, whom the
Speaker 1: chemical distance that is in the chat room. It's actually
Speaker 1: the dust profit official account that's in there. But he says,
Speaker 1: but I assume it's Auto. He says, I don't know
Speaker 1: how you can sing sitting down. I could never do it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Is that does that come easy to you
Speaker 1: sitting down whilst.
Speaker 4: Singing, or I've got huge theater lungs, so i can
Speaker 4: hold a note and hit it harder when I'm standing up,
Speaker 4: but I can I can sing, okay.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, you seem pretty comfortable with it, and
Speaker 1: he appreciated the m D reference. Spelfy from of Course,
Speaker 1: Terminus and the Midnight Creatives Collective is in the chat room.
Speaker 1: She mentions they've got a big show tonight, Vigil, Swarm
Speaker 1: of Eyes, Tech Slave and Dead Harrison tonight at Terminus
Speaker 1: in Nashua. Great great venue.
Speaker 6: Woo woo woo.
Speaker 1: Our friend Miriam vanishes in the chat room. She says,
Speaker 1: I'm listening in the car and had to pull into
Speaker 1: a parking lot to say something. I know this story,
Speaker 1: and though I didn't see the play, I remembered when
Speaker 1: it was on Broadway. People were critical of Alan Rickman,
Speaker 1: but he saw a story that needed to be told.
Speaker 4: Indeed, there's there's a lot of baggage there, sort of entrenched. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I won't even dive down that rabbit hole, but there was.
Speaker 3: It was very controversial.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. Well that Miriam also Hans
Speaker 1: Smith of Course from the band Sepsis is in the
Speaker 1: chat room and says, hey Metal Matt, Hello, of course.
Speaker 1: Uh got Swarmy Fest coming up November two now at
Speaker 1: Taffada in Lowell.
Speaker 5: Yes, I am looking forward.
Speaker 1: Looking forward to that absolutely absolutely. Well, do you guys
Speaker 1: want to you want to play another live one for us?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 4: You said some very kind words about this song on
Speaker 4: social media recently. Gary shared it with me because I've
Speaker 4: been banned. Yes, I've been deemed a menace to society,
Speaker 4: violation of community standards?
Speaker 1: Is this, by the way, what I believe the young
Speaker 1: people refer to as a perma band.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's deleted.
Speaker 6: I'm gone.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 4: I've been in jail many times before, but i'd always
Speaker 4: broken out.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 3: And yeah, you've been naughty. I guess I gave the
Speaker 3: zucker butt hurt.
Speaker 6: I guess.
Speaker 3: So think that's a copyrighted phrase, by the way.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, trademark that you just all have to do
Speaker 1: is to say TM after it.
Speaker 4: Marco Registrata for those in the new Yeah, you might
Speaker 4: be onto something.
Speaker 5: You might be able to sell that on a tech Yeah.
Speaker 1: All right, so you guys are gonna play Falling into Place?
Speaker 5: We are?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: This is actually the first song that we wrote.
Speaker 4: Mark and I actually wrote this together, which is really
Speaker 4: odd for me because I'm really selfish with my creative space. Generally,
Speaker 4: our process is that we'll be jamming at my house.
Speaker 4: We usually rehearse at my house, and I'll go to
Speaker 4: grab some beers or something and just put my phone
Speaker 4: on the table and leave it on record, and these
Speaker 4: guys Gary and Mark will just make some amazing music
Speaker 4: happen while I'm gone, and I'll sort of listen from
Speaker 4: the wing and wait until they're done and come back
Speaker 4: in and be like, Okay, that's our next song. And
Speaker 4: then we work on how we structure verse, chorus, bridge,
Speaker 4: all that kind of stuff, and then I'll sort of
Speaker 4: take it off to my lair all by myself, usually
Speaker 4: with a cigar on the porch, after it's dark and
Speaker 4: the neighborhood's quiet, and I'll put some lyrics to it,
Speaker 4: because that's really where my best headspace is.
Speaker 3: But we actually wrote this together.
Speaker 4: This was a COVID song, but I feel like it
Speaker 4: it sort of is appropriate for any kind of trying time,
Speaker 4: which seems like because the only kind of time that
Speaker 4: we have any all.
Speaker 1: Right, I love this is falling into place. Jam Tomorrow
Speaker 1: live in studio?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 3: Did all those mics up here?
Speaker 6: All right? That's weird.
Speaker 1: Something's no I got everybody else. I can't hear you either.
Speaker 1: Oh wait a minute, there we go sports giving me
Speaker 1: a little bit of trouble.
Speaker 6: But I think we're.
Speaker 7: Okay, amazing, mister Smith. And I feel like things are
Speaker 7: falling against place, and I feel.
Speaker 5: Like against the end of the Red Queen's Race, and
Speaker 5: a feeling like a star are gonna change because I
Speaker 5: feel like this was allga red.
Speaker 7: As we move.
Speaker 5: From hugs and hatchhase, we must remember how our souls ay,
Speaker 5: as we move from confidant to confident, we must remember
Speaker 5: how our souls pay. But I feel like things are
Speaker 5: falling against split and I like against the end of
Speaker 5: the Red Quee Race, and a feeling like stars are
Speaker 5: gonna change because I feel like this was all just
Speaker 5: reading and people take too much pride in the way
Speaker 5: they picked their sides split up into them at us.
Speaker 7: Besides seating on bars on the bus. But A feel
Speaker 7: like things are falling in its place, and I like
Speaker 7: it's the end of the Red.
Speaker 5: Queen's Races, and to feel like the stars are gonna
Speaker 5: change because I feel like this was Alga.
Speaker 7: Reay.
Speaker 5: As our lives get more separated, well we wish they weren't.
Speaker 7: So as things get more.
Speaker 5: Complicated, well we wish we could just know, just know,
Speaker 5: But feel like things are falling in.
Speaker 7: Place and I'm.
Speaker 5: Like it's the n Another Red Queen's Reggie and a
Speaker 5: feel like the stars are gonna change because I feel
Speaker 5: like this was all.

Speaker 7: It sure?
Speaker 4: Is that your like official Like I didn't call myself that,
Speaker 4: but multiple circles of friends and acquaintances and business folks
Speaker 4: started calling me that because it's easier than saying Michael
Speaker 4: Helpley Piers just ah right right yes, And I'm not
Speaker 4: gonna lie. I've kind of created a brand, and that
Speaker 4: was a beautiful way to sort of accentuate it. So
Speaker 4: whatever my agenda is, whether it's music or work or
Speaker 4: philanthropy or whatever it's, it's kind of it's like, oh,
Speaker 4: there's only one MHP like that, you're not going to
Speaker 4: confuse me with somebody how that you would anyway, because
