Get Offset Episode 105: New Jazzmasters Pulled Pork and Keeping Music Live

Emily: [00:00:00] Welcome to get offset money, the assembly. 

Andrew: [00:00:16] And my name is 

Emily: [00:00:17] Andrew. I was trying to get the, uh, intro to play. And I just, uh, I don’t know if it works. 

Andrew: [00:00:26] I think you’re going to have to do that in post. 

Emily: [00:00:30] That means I have to re download, um, Adobe, uh, premier, because. My whole, the whole computer crashed on Thursday and I had to, and still reinstalling everything.

Yeah. I don’t have anything positive to say about it. I didn’t really lose anything important. I saved all my unedited demo, uh, video files, but, and all my songs and stuff. Cause this has happened. So for like six weeks ago, so, uh, not feeling so great about my, my computer. 

Andrew: [00:01:06] Yeah, but were things like a healthy, you get it fixed like six weeks ago and it was working fine.

Emily: [00:01:12] Oh yeah. No, it didn’t just one day I was like, no, no more, no mass

Andrew: [00:01:29] screens. I am very tired.

Emily: [00:01:33] No, I actually, I’m feeling pretty, pretty chipper. I just really want to get some work done. Uh, today I spent most of it. Yes. Working on my hot from a hot sauce client. That was Saturday. So it was cool. And I started, I started in jail on Monday. 

Andrew: [00:01:51] Nice.

Emily: [00:01:55] I don’t want to talk too much about it, but it’s a copywriting job and I’m, uh, I’m excited. I kind of like the stuff that I’ll be writing about and the included, some of it includes podcasting. So, uh, 

Andrew: [00:02:07] You know, a thing or two about that. 

Emily: [00:02:10] Yeah. Subject matter experts, you know, good things. Gotta get that mic and the good position.

Andrew: [00:02:18] I just need you to be able to read the, uh, there we go. There we go. Now we’re talking. 

Emily: [00:02:27] You’re not wearing your, um, swell soul shirt. 

Andrew: [00:02:32] I’m not in taking a week off from everyone. This is a fundraiser shirt, the, and work put together couple of years ago. Now 

Emily: [00:02:40] I think that, I think it was closer to just a year.

Andrew: [00:02:44] Yeah. I don’t know. I don’t understand time anymore. 

Emily: [00:02:47] No, nothing makes sense. Like, I don’t know how it’s like two weeks to Halloween. My band’s playing a show, um, a live stream gig up in Everett on the 29th. And we’re going to treat it as our Halloween show. No, so we’ll be dressed up and the theme is circus and I’ll be a ringmaster.

And I bought a ring master costume, and it came with these costume shows, these yellow pants. It’s like, it’s not included in there. Kind of like not thigh high, but like up to your calf, faster calf. And I was like, Oh, I’ll just honestly use those. Not as where like some bits I already have, cause I don’t have any tall boots and I’m not going to buy it.

And I get in a frigging course, the pants only go down to where they were supposed to meet the boot. So I’m like stupid. Sure. So now I’ve ordered a couple of them, yellow pants that. Or I’ll just have to wear jeans. Like, I don’t know, whatever. Um, and then Jenna, the singer is going to be a clown. I think that Isaac, the basis they’re going to be adjusting their, I forget what Dan’s the drummer’s going to be.

We really, we kept joking with him. Like, you should be a strong man. You should be a strong man. He’s like, I don’t know what that is, but he put something else. I don’t really remember what he picked. 

Andrew: [00:04:05] I have never, ever been told I was strong before, and I know what to do with this information. 

Emily: [00:04:10] It was just, he never like heard of that, that Johntra circus performer or like, understood like how they dress because they, they dress them like those stripey pants and stuff.

I don’t really know why, but that’s just kind of what they did or like already from Pete and Pete, which I think you’re probably too young for. Have you ever seen Pete and Pete? 

Andrew: [00:04:29] No. 

Emily: [00:04:30] Oh, that’s one. I highly recommend like watching it’s very nineties had a great soundtrack, but a Iggy pop was like a data in it and 

Andrew: [00:04:42] Oh, alright.

Emily: [00:04:46] There’s some other, some other cool indie rock cameos, but that, that show is very cool for being on Nickelodeon. I think shaped shaped me a lot. 

Andrew: [00:04:54] Okay. You’re saying indie rock just reminded me that I still haven’t sat down to listen to the new deep sea diver. 

Emily: [00:05:02] Yeah. I just really want to be able to have a moment with it.

Andrew: [00:05:07] So I’ve got just out of frame here. I’ve got a HiFi system. It’s not being used with full potential because the speakers are on the ground, like to fix that some point in the future. But, um, and like right behind me behind the Funko box is the, uh, It is my system and it was 90.3 KEXP was for most of my day, Friday when I wasn’t in calls, which really means it was fun for about two hours.

But I heard to the deep sea diver tracks, and one of them had me like, yeah, Like, I’m just sitting at my desk casually looking. I’m like, well, it’s really deep.

It’s kind of raw. I’m trying to get this PowerPoint put together. I’ve got a presentation, 10 minutes. I can handle this. 

Emily: [00:05:53] Yeah. I remember when like Adele came out with 21, I had to make a rule to not listen to it at work. Like there’s some music you don’t listen to at work. And if it, and it’s usually the sad stuff, like I can listen to the hardcore or the, you know, Punk rock or whatever, but if I can’t listen to sad stuff, 

Andrew: [00:06:11] yeah, no, it sounded phenomenal.

Just like really hit me, like in a weird spot. I don’t even remember the lyric was off the top of my head, but like one of the lyrics specifically was like, Oh boy, it’s been an emotional year. 

Emily: [00:06:26] Yeah. If, um, if, if, if, if viewers and listeners haven’t checked out a deep sea diver, please do, and please listen to our episode.

We did with Jessica and Peter from deep sea diver early into the quarantine, but they’re, uh, yeah, they’re like so talented and Jessica finally got her rig rundown. So that was, that was well deserved. So yeah, I really want to yeah. Things for them. It’s, it’s really a far set. They’re not a bigger band than they are.

Andrew: [00:06:55] Yeah, no. 

Emily: [00:06:57] Well, 

Andrew: [00:06:58] nothing but good things to say about them and really excited to see them getting the attention that they deserve on this. 

Emily: [00:07:06] Yeah.

A week of a lot of new things for me though. So I’ll, uh, I’ll, we’ll get to the obvious one later, the big, the big one later. But, um, well, I got some things from boss. I got the  to demo. I got the black fountain, the two from old blood noise endeavors. Yeah. So I’m really excited about those two. I’m pretty sure there’s more, but I’m, I also got this pocket, this pocket GT from boss.

Andrew: [00:07:45] Alright. 

Emily: [00:07:46] So it’s a little, it’s really cool. It’s supposed to be a very good learning tool, uh, has Bluetooth, but, um, you plug basically an input source. And so that with, uh, with just Knox cable, And you can play like YouTube videos through tutorials. You can, you know, play pause fast for one and you’ve plugged your guitar and your headphones into it.

And you can add little things like Reaver distortion, some modulations of delay. Um, I haven’t really dug into it as much, but I have been reading the I’ve been reading the manual. Um, this is really, I love the cool little learning tools. Like just things that would have been really neat to have when I was coming up in guitar.

I like looking at those and my mom’s really learning guitar and she’s got an electric and a thing or Mustang. And, um, I think that this, like this kind of tool. It would be cool for her or anybody learning really. So, um, yeah. Thanks. Thanks to boss for sending me this into old blood noise for sending me that black fountain.

I’m really excited to dig into it. And also, can we just appreciate this, this mug? How, how 

Andrew: [00:08:59] cool. 

Emily: [00:09:01] Yeah. These, I don’t know in their store right now, they keep selling out. 

Andrew: [00:09:04] I offense to the idea of class mugs. And I want one and 

Emily: [00:09:11] that would, I don’t feel like they keep the coffee warm as long, but I drink the coffee so fast and I don’t really care.

Andrew: [00:09:18] That’s pretty reasonable. I don’t know. I’m pretty, typically pretty slow with my coffee drinking, but I also am. I’m perfectly okay with drinking room temperature, coffee. That doesn’t bother 

Emily: [00:09:28] me. It was made like French press and things like that. I’ll drink at room temperature, but like percolator coffee.

Um, I think it tastes weird at room Dem. 

Andrew: [00:09:38] Yeah, not many days of the week. I ended up doing a French press. So 

Emily: [00:09:45] yeah, first I have a little, um, two Cub. Okay. One cup, a French press. That’s that’s what I tend to break out in the afternoons. If I just need like a pick me up and we’ve already 

Andrew: [00:09:59] right. 

Emily: [00:10:01] But this morning, Rick made French press because he’s the best husband.

He spent so much time working to try to get my computer on, on broke. Um, and, uh, that’s love, 

Andrew: [00:10:16] I would say so. 

Emily: [00:10:17] Yeah, 

Andrew: [00:10:18] I would have just checked the computer out of the window, but. 

Emily: [00:10:22] Yeah, well, we still might do that. Well, 

Andrew: [00:10:25] the jury’s still out 

Emily: [00:10:27] to be determined, but you’re right. Honestly, we should have just takes the components that worked best and built our own you’re.

I 

Andrew: [00:10:36] mean, 

Emily: [00:10:38] You didn’t even tell me I should have done that. Instead. You said that if this continues to fail, that maybe I should look into doing that. So I don’t want to make it sound like you were being like a man. Remember I told you, so you’ve been so helpful in the computer saga. 

Andrew: [00:10:53] I try not to be that kind of human because I’m really not that sure of myself on that kind of stuff.

Um, Or a lot of things, but yeah, no, I mean, you’ve got options. It’s not like it’s the last computer in the world. And I mean, I’ve got an extra PC sitting over here that I should probably either sort out what to do with or give to somebody and 

Emily: [00:11:16] yeah. Yeah. Um, I, at least when the PC, the like, cause it’s actually like, it’s not a laptop, it’s a real deal.

Real deal PC. At least when it fails, I have, you know, backup laptop that I can do pretty much everything, but the video editing on. 

Andrew: [00:11:37] So 

Emily: [00:11:38] it’s hard to complain too much about. Yeah, it’s hard. It’s hard for it to feel like the end of the world, which is good. I think that this year has also given me a lot of perspective.

Yeah. Everything. Okay. 

Andrew: [00:11:56] Everything’s fine. I’m sorry. I just, I had one of those, like, wait a minute. Why haven’t I done this already kind of moments. Um, so I’ve got my main PC over here and it’s set up as a, a, a dual boot Hakone Tosh. So my primary drive is a PC, and if I want an alternately boot to the other drive, it’s a hack Tosh.

The only thing I use it for is logic protein, which I did pay for. Thank you. I’m a little defensive about the fact that I’m doing this, but it is what it is. Um, but I’ve got the dual drive boot on this thing, and I’ve got a slightly earlier version of the same tower over here. That’s not currently doing anything.

And I’m just now realizing I should probably just move the hack and Tosh drive over to this tower. And that way I’ve got like a dedicated machine for each, 

Emily: [00:12:53] maybe 

Andrew: [00:12:54] because I’ve been trying to sort out like that’s all, so many of my issues right now is I’m trying to sort stuff out. Oh my God.

I know. It’s just like, like all of a sudden, like 

Emily: [00:13:07] pot. And why didn’t I think of that sooner? 

Andrew: [00:13:11] Well, yeah, I mean, it’s been sitting here for, on my desk since before coin and just haven’t done anything with it yet. It was a, it was a freebie long story, 

Emily: [00:13:23] but anyway, you figured it out, but what’s new with you. I see something big and red.

Andrew: [00:13:29] There is, there is something there’s something very big and red. 

Emily: [00:13:34] Oh yeah. So for all everyone’s thinking at home, Andrew has a big red thing on his desk. 

Andrew: [00:13:39] I do. And that big red thing. Um, but I’m going to try not to drop into my, my pie and ice cream that I’ve got for breakfast. Judge me heathens. Um, this is a focus, right?

18. I ate that. I picked up for a steal. Wow. Um, I commented on the, uh, the local sales post about 15 minutes after you did, when you were like, maybe. And I was like, Oh, I want it. I didn’t even, like, I waited to ask the, I, if there’s anything broken with it, like until after we were talking like, Hey, this is what’s how I’m going to pick it up, by the way, is anything wrong with it?
19. Should ask, but even if there was, it’s probably fine if the price was on. So I got this bad boy at 150 bucks. Is that was what the seller postal for. I didn’t low ball. The seller seller is very happy to do it. And he’s like, I just want us to go someone who’s gonna use it. And that’s why I’m planning on probably just using it instead of flipping it, because that would be rude.

Emily: [00:14:51] Yeah. Speaking of if anything is wrong with it, um, did you do that thing I asked you to do regarding your webcam after last week’s episode? 

Andrew: [00:15:00] I could not find the menu. 

Emily: [00:15:01] Okay, that’s fine. Pick it out. We’ll figure it out. 

Andrew: [00:15:05] Yeah, no, I, I, before I got on and I was like, where is the there’s nothing I can’t.

Emily: [00:15:19] I

Andrew: [00:15:25] don’t know if I’m going to, but. 

Emily: [00:15:29] Why would you name it? 

Andrew: [00:15:30] I don’t know. I don’t know where that came from. I’m sorry. I’ll explain why I’m tired in a moment, but, uh, no, I’m, I’m excited for it. It’s got all those inputs plus expandable options. If I want to get another unit, which I don’t think, I mean, I need to do, it’s got everything I need.

I was getting ready to spring for four. I for, um, 

Emily: [00:15:52] That’s what I have, 

Andrew: [00:15:54] which would be the number of inputs I’m looking for is specifically for, but then this one for less than the cost of a new 44, I’m like, I could jump for this. And the nice thing is like, it’s got, I wanted four for input specifically, and four of the inputs on the front are the XLR T STRs, like combo Jack.

On the front with the dials and like that’s all a front for my use versus the four, four is two on the front two in the back, which isn’t quite as exciting. So I’m like, this is great. This is like, this is exactly like, this is perfect. 

Emily: [00:16:33] Yeah. I need to figure out how to get my dog to recognize the ones in the back of the four Oh four.

I just haven’t even tried. 

Andrew: [00:16:45] Yeah. I want to plug this guy in once ever so briefly to try and play with OBS and then OBS didn’t recognize any of the other extra inputs. I’m like, Oh, and then I realized there’s a proprietary software. I’ve got to download. So I’ve got to sort out where to get that from, to be able to control everything and get, download the extra drivers.

But yeah, no, I’m super, super, super, super happy with this, that right. As you’re hopping on, I actually got a notification on the listing. So John, Snyder’s been, sorry, I didn’t say that. Um, Mark Zuckerberg, that’s the word I’m looking for?

I’m trying to keep up by Mark Zuckerberg has been listening. Cause I just got a notification for an 18. I ate that was listed in a gear group. Uh, for, from John Kim is the name of the seller here selling for two 80. I’m just sitting here going wow. Finding me. But it really, what it really is is Mark Zuckerberg saying, Hey.

A, you were talking about this to your wife the other day. You want to buy one? Just like sucker Hyler dead. 

Emily: [00:18:03] Yeah. It’s a, the Seattle gear swap has some bang and deals. 

Andrew: [00:18:07] There’s some banging deals. I’m frequently finding myself going. You don’t need to buy it just to flip it, someone else’s going to buy that and love it and cherish it and have it at a really good deal.

And you just need to let it go. 

Emily: [00:18:22] Yeah. There was a big drama pretty recently when someone, um, bought a pedal on offer up and everyone was like, Oh, I wonder who got it. It was like such a good deal. And then the guy immediately turns around and sells it for like four times what he paid for it. Or like list it for four times what he paid for it on the gear.

Sabator it was like, you’re really. Rude. 

Andrew: [00:18:43] I mean, 

Emily: [00:18:44] I get it, I get it. It’s his right to do it, but it is. I agree. It’s rude. Like someone either didn’t know what they had, which is no on them or they wanted to give it to a good home and someone who would love it. And you’re immediately going to turn around and like try to make 150 bucks off of it.

Like get outta here, man. 

Andrew: [00:19:02] I dunno. I dunno if it’s rude. Um, necessarily I do think people have every right to do it. Um, I think for me personally, it is, if I’m going to sit down and do this, I’m like, unless it’s something that I’ve like, actually like actually used, actually put some, uh, like got some use out of it and like respected the, the seller’s wishes and wanting to give it to someone who’s going to get use out of it.

If I’m just like the next day turning and flipping it, then I’m going to, I would feel really weird about that personally. 

Emily: [00:19:31] Yeah, no, that’s, that’s kind of the thing, like if you try and it’s just not for you and you’re like, well, I don’t know, I feel like a lot of ways about it, but I think it’s nice in gear communities to see people pay it forward versus, you know, Trying to make a quick one 50, 

Andrew: [00:19:49] right?

When, when it’s possible. Um, I like seeing that, um, I also like seeing people not take advantage of small businesses, I forgot to mention to the Steve pre show, a little bit of, a little bit of drama over in the, uh, the worship world side effects. 

Emily: [00:20:07] God, no drama in the P dub world. No 

Andrew: [00:20:12] mutual friend. A good friend of the show, Curtis Lamberton, um, had to publicly make an announcement saying, Hey guys, uh, so he’s got a yell, like he buy your first set and then you get a discount code for further sets.

Someone was sharing that discount code with all of their friends.

It’s like supposed to be like a thank you for ordering a set. We’ll give you a discount and another set for you because you support it. Like, um, so it sounds like Curtis 

Emily: [00:20:44] had to, so it wasn’t a one time code. 

Andrew: [00:20:48] Right? Um, so I mean the, if that’s how Curtis built his website out and you’re going to take advantage of it.

I mean, that’s kind of. That’s dumb. I’m honestly really good on Curtis. Cause if someone did that to me, like if I, I don’t have discount codes for flux right. Right now. But like, if someone did do that to me, part of me would be like, I don’t know. Maybe I just let it slide and like props to Curtis. He stood up for it.

Um, and 

Emily: [00:21:15] I mean, one or two, like is kinda normal, but too, like a lot of people like. It’s a small business, 

Andrew: [00:21:21] right? I mean, there’s a reason why prices are where they’re at. It’s not cause they’re getting greedy. I know Curtis Curtis has a shop. He has employees. He’s got a family. I mean, So anyways, that’s a quick reminder to everyone that sometimes that lowing ball low-balling people or taking advantage of discount codes or, uh, flipping just for the sake of like making tons of money.

I don’t know. There’s, there’s a point where it’s, it’s greedy and disrespectful to other 

Emily: [00:21:49] people. Yeah. 

Andrew: [00:21:51] So 

Emily: [00:21:52] just be cool. Just like, I think people really get obsessed with like gaming a system. And I think maybe we just need to chill out on that a little bit. I don’t know. I think it’s just like, Would you want someone to do it to you?

I don’t know. I get kind of grumpy about it 

Andrew: [00:22:10] depends. 

Emily: [00:22:12] It’s also early, early, early, and I’ve only been through one cup of coffee and I don’t think it’s quite yet. 

Andrew: [00:22:17] This is facing me. He was like, Hey guys. Be, be kind to each other. Let’s me getting feisty. 

Emily: [00:22:23] That is pretty feisty for you. You’re normally like mr.

speaking of 

Andrew: [00:22:32] playing it safe. Um, the reason why I’m so tired and I’m not going to tell you guys the whole story, cause I’ve already spent so much time talking. Um, but the, the reason why I’m like hanging in there right now is I stayed up all night. Not last night, but the night before, I really only got like three, maybe four hours of total sleep.

That was all broken. I’m smoking 17.3 pounds of pork shoulder. 

Emily: [00:22:59] That’s a lot of park shoulder 

Andrew: [00:23:01] and yeah, no, it was, I’d done the calculation for how long it was going to take. And I had it supposed to be done at 4:00 PM yesterday. I can come round to 7:00 PM and it’s still like just barely approaching the bottom.

End of like what, what my done temperature was, 

Emily: [00:23:20] um, what you’re trying to get to like one 85 or no, I 

Andrew: [00:23:24] was trying to get, I was trying to get to two Oh five, cause it doesn’t start the collagen doesn’t really start breaking down until closer to 200. So I had to pull it 200 and rapid. It was still fall apart.

It could have been a little bit more fall apart, but 

Emily: [00:23:37] let me turn it off. You gotta do that Texas crushed dude. 

Andrew: [00:23:40] I’ve so I’ve done that before with foil and they just ruined absolutely. Just slaughtered 

Emily: [00:23:46] paper. 

Andrew: [00:23:47] I know. It’s why I have a bunch of paper this time. Last time I do just foil and it just made it so mushy, the bark was just.

Like nonexistent. 

Emily: [00:23:56] Oh, there’s ways. Yeah. There’s better ways to do it with foil. I’ve written it. 

Andrew: [00:24:00] All right. Well, next time I will be trying the Texas crutch to help me get over the 165 degree stall. But anyways, look part of my thought process behind this is I’ve got a really early start, um, for work for my day job on Monday.

That’s always really tough. So like, all right, here’s the plan I’m going to get like no sleep. Friday night, Saturday night, I’m going to go to sleep early. And that way come Sunday night, it’s going to feel normal to try and go to bed at like seven or eight. And. Hi, Rick. 

Emily: [00:24:34] Andrew says hi. Do you want to say hi to the camera?

He’s like Dolly Parton’s husband.

Andrew: [00:24:43] Yeah. So I was up till one in the morning. Last night, just wide awake. I couldn’t sleep. I’m like, no stop. I was supposed to sleep like four hours ago. 

Emily: [00:24:51] That’s the worst feeling, dude. But my therapist says that when that happens, because I get really anxiety. When I get insomnia, she’s like, just get out of bed, do something else, read a book, color, color in the coloring book, we just do something else.

Then they’ll think about how you can’t sleep. 

Andrew: [00:25:09] It was like that weird. Like I was half awake, but I wasn’t like, I didn’t have the energy to get up and do anything, but I didn’t have like the amount of sleep I need. Yeah. I, I haven’t had one of those nights in like a couple months now, and that was just real, cause I haven’t been used to that at all.

Emily: [00:25:27] I’m sorry, dude, that, that does suck. 

Andrew: [00:25:29] Yeah, no, I rolled out of bed like 15 minutes before, before we started recording. So I’m getting there, but my apologies for confusing John Snyder and Mark Zuckerberg. 

Emily: [00:25:40] Yeah, that was weird. Did 

Andrew: [00:25:41] that? I don’t know where that, what part of my subconscious that came from, 

Emily: [00:25:46] you know, John cider from electronic audio experiments is a genius 

Andrew: [00:25:51] is a genius.

And he probably knows more about me than I do myself, but yeah, 

Emily: [00:25:57] I feel like we’re confusing to people again.

Sponsors. 

Andrew: [00:26:04] Yeah, let’s do sponsors because I know the other big thing that’s new with you is kind of what we are here to talk about. 

Emily: [00:26:11] Yeah. So, um, before we talk sponsors, uh, please rate and review this podcast on iTunes. It really means a lot to us. Uh, it helps us in the search rankings. Uh, and all the algorithm things.

It makes it easy and affordable to put your music on, uh, ITunes Spotify, tick tock, Instagram stories, a title, Napster, Deezer. I heard like F basically every place where you can stream music online, you can get, uh, you can get it online with, uh, with this you’re a kid and it’s just a one time fee to get your music on.

Um, It’s a light. So the way like corn others’ work as you pay like 50 bucks a year per release or something like that. And district has, is 20 bucks a year for unlimited releases basically. And, or you can pay 50 bucks up front and have it just there in perpetuity. And you don’t have to pay the 20 bucks every year.

But if you’re releasing music every year to 20 bucks a year, Freaking awesome. And you can use the code, uh, use the link and the show notes slash video description. And you’ll say 7% on your first year. And it’s a way to support the, um, the podcast and the, the demo channel. That’s my spiel. And they have a lot of cool fun tools.

That’s how I talked about this last week. Some of the things, or did I do that this week? I did that this week. I went and I put Sunday crushes record, which comes out on black Friday. I uploaded it into distro kid. No. I was looking at some of their features, like their mean video generators, their, their, their lyrics and the lyrics saying it’s really easy and kind of just fun to play around on it.

And even though we use my big it offset account, which is a label account, so we can have a lot more bands on it. I was able to. Add Sunday crush as a team member so that it, any money that comes from the streaming or the purchase of the record, I use will go straight into the band’s account versus mine.

And that makes a counting a lot easier. And you can even split it like with just individual people. So if you’ve collaborated with somebody on a record or a song, because you can do it per song, um, You can just split that money really easily. I’m really wish you would have needed yourself before scraping the bottom of that.

Andrew: [00:28:53] Can you hear me?

I turned down the input game. On the interface because, uh, my mute button is great out on the interface here for the stream. 

Emily: [00:29:10] Yeah, that is weird. Isn’t it? I really liked recording you. 

Andrew: [00:29:15] Okay. No, it’s recording, but I was, I’m just looking at this going, like you started off in like, alright. It’s sponsor time.

There’s a chance to get a couple bites of 

Emily: [00:29:23] pie. I can’t either. 

Andrew: [00:29:27] And then I went to go meet myself. I just kind of stood there, like, so if you’re watching on YouTube right hub, you could kind of see what just staring with the, Oh, I don’t like this. Why won’t I do it? I’m like, I clicked a bunch of times and Nope.

I’m I am permanently un-muted so there’s, there’s nothing you can do to, uh, Yeah, no, 

Emily: [00:29:50] I it’s in beta still, 

Andrew: [00:29:54] right? Yeah. We’re using a beta version of the app. We’ve been, we’ve been using for the last couple of years now. They just introduced video and I’m not like. Underwhelmed, but I’m not WellMed either.

Emily: [00:30:11] Yeah. It really bothered me when I did the automatic post production, which I paid for. And then it put the watermark in the bottom of the screen, like 10 or 15 pixels high, I think, with the AI. So that’s why I’m one of the episodes and potentially this one as well. I have a big black box at the bottom that has our logo.

And then the episode title. Because I’m like, screw you guys. I paid for that. You’re not watermarking something I paid for. 

Andrew: [00:30:38] Right. Mom, baby. We, I, you know, tell us what you think. If you’re, if you’re watching this and you’re going, hi, these guys could do better, which understandable. Tell us what we should be using for a, a video streaming platform I’m curious

Emily: [00:30:59] or school, but we don’t want to do like the live streaming. 

Andrew: [00:31:02] Yeah, no, 

Emily: [00:31:04] I don’t think that. I don’t think we’d get as many viewers at 9:00 AM on a Sunday that like six and cycle home gets on eight 30. 

Andrew: [00:31:10] Our entire views of base is going to be British

Emily: [00:31:17] East coasters and stuff too. Like Nan. But probably not as many in the Pacific Northwest and California.

And this is the first thing you want to watch in the morning. This is the first thing I do in the morning. 

Andrew: [00:31:34] Yeah, no, I I’m just imagining like the entire Pacific Northwest is like a personified monolith, like waking up, hung over and going. No, I can’t do Andrew’s voice right now. Not happening. 

Emily: [00:31:47] I think that my voice is probably the problem, but you want to talk about, um, my, my big Watson now, 

Andrew: [00:31:54] wait, we talk about gear on the show.

What the heck?

Ooh, fancy. I really do love that. 

Emily: [00:32:04] Oh, I know. The dark night finish on fender, released their American professional two series on Tuesday. And damn if this doesn’t still smell like fresh, 

Andrew: [00:32:16] this is a smelling fresh paint or is it just the, is the case like the glue in the case? 

Emily: [00:32:21] No, this hasn’t been in the case for a couple of days.

Once I had a guitar that smelled like maple syrup. It was, um, a D Armand Starfire, which is like the Epiphone Guild, but I’m, so this is the American professional two series, a lot of improvements on the American professional one series, which had a lot of complaints, especially in the jazz master, namely that the pickups on the professional one series.

Weren’t Jazzmaster pickups. They were secret shop pickups. It didn’t have any variation on a rhythm circuit. Like the switcher was up here and it was just the, you know, neck, middle position, a pretty traditional vibrato, but they’ve made a lot of improvements on this and not just the finished, which I think is just.

The hunting,

the pickups. Don’t still don’t sound quite as jazz mastery, but that’s fine by me. The, um, I think most people were talking about the Panorama vibrato on this, so

yeah. A deep dive. 

Andrew: [00:33:37] Yeah.

Emily: [00:33:42] Another cool things is there’s this push. I think Mary spender called it a push push pot because it’s not a pool. And there’s like a, so you pushed down to get it in the down position. You push it again to get in the up position, but it gets into more vintage-y kind of output sound, which I really liked when I was playing.

I took this to a Sunday crush rehearsal, and I really liked the way that sounded, but what I’m really excited about. Is that instead of having a rhythm switch, it’s a series switch, which I use, I use on a lot of guitars. I have that on the site clone, I have it on the star caster. So it’s something that I do use a lot.

And I really like, um, what else? It has kind of like a Mustang style bridge. So, but actually the correct. Radius a bone nut, and it’s kind of hard to see. I don’t know if this will even work, but, um, that string tree is just a little bit different than what you find on a standard guitars. It’s it’s not, it’s not quite the roller tree, but it is, does seem a lot nicer than that little flimsy PISA.

What the stainless steel, but a it’s medium high, uh, fret, not quite jumbo frets, which means my fingers are getting into some contact with the fretboard when I play. And I think the front board needs to be oiled or something. It feels a little dry. Yeah. I 

Andrew: [00:34:59] mean, that’s not abnormal for guitars out of the box.

Emily: [00:35:02] Yeah. Yeah. So, but the neck is silky smooth, I would say. And, uh,

There we go, sorry. I was like, just, do you ever like lay awake? And you’re like, I know that my fingers know how to play that, but can I remember how to play it in my head?

Andrew: [00:35:32] Thinking that frequently?

Emily: [00:35:42] Yeah,

a lot of compliments on the clean tone, in a video, which I never get, just because people don’t usually care about the clean tone.

Andrew: [00:35:57] No, I I’m so excited to see that what they’ve done with the jazz master this time round, because I, to be completely honest, I hated the first one. So

Emily: [00:36:10] those came out 

Andrew: [00:36:12] well, those came out right before, or maybe when I, after I’d started at guitar center, I was supposed to sell a lot of them. And. Um, no, I just, every time I picked one up or someone came in, I was like, Oh, Herrick Fetter made a new Jazzmaster. Let’s take a look at it. And like, the comments are always, where’s the rhythm switch.

This is, it’s not a, it’s not a Jazzmaster. If there’s not some sort of rhythm switch, 

Emily: [00:36:38] I disagree because I have this American. Jazz master. And it has just a, 

Andrew: [00:36:46] I just didn’t switch. Well, that’s all, you’ve got a Bigsby on there. And three Jazzmaster has to have the Jazzmaster

that is a Jazzmaster shaped body. 

Emily: [00:37:00] Yeah, 

Andrew: [00:37:01] but I don’t think that’s a fine guitar. I don’t have anything against the guitar. I just, I have a hard time like that being a Jazzmaster, Jazzmaster, Jason, 

Emily: [00:37:13] the jazz master to me, it’s like when, so when, when, uh, 

Andrew: [00:37:19] Oh, yeah. So people hated the pickups. I frequently hear, it gets hard to let people plug in.

Like it’s like, 

Emily: [00:37:25] you can kind of see, 

Andrew: [00:37:27] like, and they’re facing like, yeah, almost. And inevitably people would just frequently want to put it back. Um, my favorite of the first, the first round of series, my two favorites were the Strat and the, uh, the JAG giant actually kind of surprised. I don’t remember seeing a JAG for the second of the second round.

Emily: [00:37:49] They had, um, a Stratocaster with, I think to pick up configurations, traditional telecast or tele deluxe and the jazz master. And then. I have S and then lefties that’s, from what I remember, it was really cool. And they sent, they sent me a whole, like, list of like, of the guitars and I’m like, which one do you want?

And then there was a watermark forget offs, and I was like, we’ve made it. Yeah, no views who would leak this.

Andrew: [00:38:22] There’s a Reddit thread where someone like must have undone their watermark and Mike posted it to read it anonymously because there’s definitely a unwatermarked version on Reddit couple of days earlier. 

Emily: [00:38:32] Yeah, no. When, um, when my fender rep reached out to me, he’s like, yeah, I don’t know if you saw this leak.

It did leak, but I would like you to be a part of this launch. And I was like, I would love to be part of this launch. And I did not know, I don’t do the Reddit guitar thing because that is just such a big subreddit. 

Andrew: [00:38:50] Uh, yeah, I don’t typically cruise right. It, I have an account. I haven’t logged in forever, but I do Snoop every once in awhile slash my phone in like the new section of the phone, like recommend articles to me typically, if something blows up big enough in the, uh, any of the guitar related subreddits, uh, I ended up seeing.

Singling for my, my Google pixels. Like, Hey buddy, are you like her? Do you like guitars? 

Emily: [00:39:18] Yeah, but it’s really cool. I think they really did a lot of things with more Sonic range in mind because really what the jazz master and the, um, and pro one series, it was obviously a lot more limited in its sonnet capabilities.

You know, maybe guitars don’t use rhythm switches that much. I used it when I had. I’m a jazz master with it, but I like the series, which more, but I know that the strats also have the push push and it can add the neck tech up too, to the bridge and bridge middle position. So you can get all three was the traditional, um, Set up and you can also get a, uh, just the neck and the bridge.

So that’s a really cool, like they really thought about, um, just getting the most out of the pickups that they do have. And I really like, I think it’s a really cool series. I’ve only really looked into those two. Uh, initially I was like, Oh, I want to tell you the Lux. And I was like, what am I thinking?

Just send me a Jazzmaster. 

Andrew: [00:40:19] Right? It’s not, I do love a good tele. I do love a good tele deluxe, but I’ve already got. Two guitars with a two humbucker setup and I don’t need, I don’t need a third one. I do want to look closer, what they did with the strats for this time around. Um, I haven’t looked yet. I just know that I, part of me is like, I really want a strap.

Cause I haven’t had a strap for like a year now and I don’t regret selling it, but I do regret not having a strap. If that makes sense. 

Emily: [00:40:49] You just wanted a better shot than that one. I’m hoping that I get a strap soon. So, yeah, they have the, um, let’s, let’s see what the, if the tele deluxe has any interesting wiring things that they make 

Andrew: [00:41:06] before we get too far past the Jazzmaster, do you want to say real quick?

Um, I want to plug someone else’s channel for so briefly, but Ryan Burke did the, on the Panorama trem. Um, cause the, that’s what they’re calling the new Jazzmaster trem system and you like open up and like did like these really fancy graphics. Um, so show the mechanics, but like, I actually, like, I was just watching the bill, like really like a, how it’s made video.

I’m like, this is, this is great. I like 

Emily: [00:41:36] it. That was a great video. Yeah. 

Andrew: [00:41:38] And all of that said favorite part of the video is I had a really nice shirt on, 

Emily: [00:41:47] Oh, that’s a very nice shirt. It was very familiar shirts. I 

Andrew: [00:41:50] know. So go watch the video seriously though. Randy did a phenomenal job of the video and, uh, yeah.

Emily: [00:41:56] Yeah, so it looks like, um, so the tele deluxe has coil tap, so it can turn the humbuckers into single coils, which is cool. Let’s see what the normal Telecaster has a treble bleed circuit. Nice. Um, single coil. I don’t see any mention of there being some sort of push pull situation with the standard Telecaster, um, rolled fretboard edges are very nice.

Uh, the sculpted neck heel and all of them, which I like, it just makes a little bit more comfortable when you’re higher up on the, on the front board. There. The HSS strata caster has a coil, but in the, in the, in the, in the bridge, which makes it a lot more like a normal Telecaster, if you need, which is kinda neat.

Uh, and let’s see what the precision bass has going on. Anything. No, so they don’t all have a push pull option and the ones that do it’s really neat. And I think it makes a lot of sense. You’re right. No jazz. No, no. I’m January, no short skills at all. Um, I would love to see like high quality short scale guitars, but it’s cool.

It’s cool. In there about the mid, the mid thousands, the mid 1000, they did 

Andrew: [00:43:24] do the sculpted heel on the strap. 

Emily: [00:43:27] All of them. 

Andrew: [00:43:29] Oh, was it? You got it on your still, Oh, I missed that. How did I miss that? 

Emily: [00:43:35] I didn’t talk about it in the video.

Did you watch my 45 minute video? 

Andrew: [00:43:43] I’ve I, I think I have my 40 hour work my 40 hour work week since I’m not allowed to work overtime. Um, I think I spent. If I look at my calendar, eyeballing it about 30 ish hours in meetings. Yeah.

Emily: [00:44:08] Yeah, no, I, um, I was actually a little bummed and so was my, my fender rep. He like overnighted me the jazz master and I still didn’t get it until the day after it launched. And I was like, well, since I’m not really going to like, get the first jump with just an unboxing video, I have to do more. So I did the unboxing and then I took it to band practice and really put it through the paces.

So video has a little bit like a five minute clip of, um, different parts of the band practice with sort of different, different sounds. I was getting actual affects actual band. Um, and then I did a secondary yeah. Reaction video, where I talk about my experience after having spent. A couple of days with the guitar.

And I think that, I think that’s gone over really well. I think people appreciated that and I kind of got that idea from Mike Adams who, uh, he encouraged me to do that. So, uh, thank you, Mike. Um, I think that was the way to go. It does make the video quite a bit longer, but like even on boxing, I was so excited.

I didn’t really like play through all of the. The pickup positions in a very natural way to be honest. And so to come back with my head, a little cooler, not super duper in the honeymoon phase and just go through the different positions, sort of like one at a time. So people can hear the differences unless you’re on your iPhone.

And in which case. Whatever. Sorry, you probably can’t hear the differences clearly, but it headphones. I got that weird comments. This style this week remember, well, the big of some of the same, all the pickups I’m like, Oh, okay. Maybe invest in some better headphones. Cause they certainly don’t 

Andrew: [00:45:46] right. It’s like, okay, they’re ready.

So you need to get more creative with their trolling. 

Emily: [00:45:53] Yeah. So he, you should invest in just infested to bath and buy less guitars. And like you think I bought all these 

Andrew: [00:46:01] well, you don’t have, you don’t have a tube map right now. Do you? Yeah. Oh yeah. He goes to 

Emily: [00:46:08] harmony. So I have a silver tone as well, but I need, there’s a failing tube and then I need to just, haven’t had time to investigate.

Uh, the milkman is essentially a two vamp. 

Andrew: [00:46:18] I do not have a tube amp and honestly, I still like my tongue.

Emily: [00:46:27] Yeah, 

Andrew: [00:46:28] I like it quite a bit printed both of my amps, like at the radium and the tow master deluxe river. Any late tube? Pretty well. Nothing bad to say about either of them. 

Emily: [00:46:44] Oh yeah. I love the uranium. Um, and I also have the champion about the, uh, at the practice space. So yeah, I got two BAMS. They’re just not like the 50 pound two amps that whatever, dude, I don’t have the time.

I don’t like if I had a roadie, maybe I’d be like, yeah, To me of like, if I could afford a Benson or like a really nice milkman, I would certainly do it. But, uh, right now at this point in my career, unless until I get like a roadie, I’m just gonna, I’m always gonna use gear. That’s easy to carry. 

Andrew: [00:47:18] I think my, what I want, I think I want my next big purchase or really my next big gear purchase.

And in general, I do want to be a Benson. Just kind of want to sock some money away, little by little and just make it happen because they do some magical. 

Emily: [00:47:35] Yeah. I really want one too, but yeah. I think I’m kind of far away from it. I just like, it’s not on, I need to get a really nice couple of Linux microphones before I guess.

Andrew: [00:47:47] Yeah, no, I mean, certainly nothing wrong with that, but I don’t know. It’s just been like, for the most part, I’m really happy with my guitars. There’s a couple of things in the, it changed on a couple of them, but for the most part, I’m really happy with sounds. I’ve got the only thing I could maybe see myself adding the lineup as a stretch.

And 

Emily: [00:48:06] yeah. Yeah. I haven’t had a stress since my first guitar. My first electric guitar was a Squire strap. 

Andrew: [00:48:11] Well, you’ve got a tornado. It’s essentially a Strat right now. 

Emily: [00:48:15] No cycling. You’re thinking of the psychological cycles essentially for short scale strategy, especially now that I have like those in it, but, um, yeah, we’ll probably need to thin the herd as, as, as they say.

But I also don’t know what I would get rid of. I like them. I like the guitars. I have the space for them right now. And not really, I don’t know. I don’t know what I could sell very easily. Like I’ve done so many mods on most of them.

Andrew: [00:48:54] Yeah, it’s always hard with mods. You never get your money back. Sorry. I’m looking at the colors of the strats and I think I like the Olympic white with the torque card. 

Emily: [00:49:07] I like the, um, I like some what they’re calling the mercury finish, which just feels to me like the Antigua finish. 

Andrew: [00:49:17] That’s a silver burst.

Emily: [00:49:19] Yeah, 

Andrew: [00:49:19] silver verse looks like a silver burst. Yeah.

The color green, really deep puke. Shade of green. I’m gonna say, 

Emily: [00:49:30] Oh yeah, you’re right. You’re right. You’re right. 

Andrew: [00:49:33] I don’t like Antigua even in person. It just doesn’t look. It doesn’t look right to me. And I get that it’s a classic finish and that, you know, history, yada yada. Yeah. 

Emily: [00:49:42] Charlie pride, dude. I actually, the first thing I asked for was I want to be, um, American professional.

Two’s heli the Luxe. And I think I was the surf gray and I asked 

Andrew: [00:49:51] for. But the seafoam cream, mystic green, 

Emily: [00:49:57] the seed crop. Yeah. Well, Ryan Berg is calling it, see Chrome. It, it doesn’t photograph in these pictures. It looks just like a, a surf green, but it is very Cromey. Right. But then I was just like, maybe I just want to feel like Ryan from demos in the dark I’m like, I shouldn’t, I shouldn’t just get that.

So the Jazzmaster and also the, I don’t, I don’t think the. I don’t think the tele deluxe is we’re ready. 

Andrew: [00:50:26] Maybe. Yeah, it’s fine. No, I’m just looking at Strat. If I was going to add anything, I’d probably add an HSS Strat and one thing like the wiring configuration that I’ve been fancying, the idea of is, um, instead of doing like a push pull pot, uh, is doing, uh, there’s a mod you can do we’re in position for weight, which actually we do strap position start.

The numbers started the bridge 

Emily: [00:50:52] where they started as an app. So 

Andrew: [00:50:54] if we’re starting the bridge, then position two, or it’s you bridging your middle position, it automatically splits the humbucker in that, that position. So you get the, the quacky, dual single coil sound I’m positioned still. Um, and then, uh, then obviously position four, you don’t need to split cause you don’t have a HSH.

Um, but it’s a really slick Mada. No, I’ve talked to Curtis Lamberton about how we make that happen. But I’m looking at this going well, I don’t like the idea of a push full, but a push push. I could probably, that seems like such a small thing, but I feel like that changes the way I look at that. 

Emily: [00:51:28] I sometimes have trouble with the, with the pools.

Um, mainly occasionally I’ll do it. And the, uh, the novel come off with it, especially if it’s not like the kind that you yeah. Yeah, that’s the problem I’ve encountered with those before? 

Andrew: [00:51:48] I don’t know if I’ve encountered that issue before. I think my big thing is like, if I’m picking or whatever, I’ve then got to like, kinda like tuck my pig under my finger to be able to like actually grab and pull up and then bring the pit back out and keep playing.

And that just unnecessary amount of extra steps for me to do, like during a song transition. So I can just like hit it real good with my pinky, if my pinky strong enough for you and my ring finger.

Emily: [00:52:15] I think I just use these two fingers, like the middle and the ring to pull it. 

Andrew: [00:52:19] Yeah. I’d never, I could never do that. I don’t have a guitar right now. I had, I was on the Epiphone SG that I sold, uh, earlier in quarantine. Um, and yeah, I could, I can never get it like with, without using my thumb.

Emily: [00:52:39] Yeah, for me, it’s just like, I don’t want to risk. I don’t ever like to risk something. A part of my guitar falling off into my hand while I’m playing. Like you had to have my Duesenberg less trim to a couple of times. Yeah. I guess I probably just am not tired tightening enough, but that’s the problem I’ve had with it.

I think you just gotta continuously like tight-knit and I just bad about that. Um, And I’ve had the knob come off into the hand once while playing, but I think I just smashed it back on. That was an easier, easier fix. But, uh, there was like, I think it was new year’s Eve. The last terms who came off in my hand and I was like, gosh, what do I do with this?

Now? 

Andrew: [00:53:29] Just toss it to the crowd. What can go wrong? 

Emily: [00:53:31] Oh my gosh. I know I lost that arm. I never found it. I had to buy replacements. 

Andrew: [00:53:36] Yeah. 

Emily: [00:53:39] Embarrassing embarrassing. Um, so I think, are we done talking about the am pro too? 

Andrew: [00:53:46] I suppose. 

Emily: [00:53:47] Yeah. 

Andrew: [00:53:48] I’m just clicking around the fender website going, Ooh, I want that. And I can’t afford any of it.

Emily: [00:53:55] Yeah. But earlier this week that you and terror had sent me a post from Neumos a picture of Neumos. It said, uh, so we don’t don’t know Neumos is like the rock club and in Seattle is where it’s where. You know, those indie level bands tend to play one of them. And it’s probably the bigger one I’ve played there a couple times.

Neumos and Barboza, they’re underground smaller club version. And it’s like, I just love it. I love that place. I love the people who work there. Um, there was a big banner on the side of Neumos. That said coming soon and had a picture of a condo. And Andrew sent me this in terror and I was like, Oh my God.

And I read it. 

Andrew: [00:54:43] No, none, none, none, no, no 

Emily: [00:54:46] bad. No, that’s squishy bad, bad. And, uh, let’s see if I can find it really quickly, but cause there are our Facebook chats really long right now because. You are helping me with my computer. Oh yeah. Coming soon. Unless we act now music, man wash. Let me move this over here.

Andrew: [00:55:07] Music in Washington is in crisis. Since COVID-19 our independent music venues were the first to close without assistance. The majority are at risk of never reopening what will replace them if we don’t save our venues. And then in all, all caps. Bold together. We can keep music live in Washington, find out more or donate it.

Keep music live, washington.com. 

Emily: [00:55:31] Yeah. So that’s, that’s something that like it’s, it’s really stark. And I think that’s a, it’s a brilliant campaign to help raise money and bring attention because what we need is legislatures to our lawmakers who create some relief for live music. Because when you think about an, I always had the problem in Nashville.

People want to move to Nashville because of the art scene. They’re like, Oh, it’s got this great cultural vibe. It’s got these cool places. And then. The places that were the reason people went to Nashville. I love Nashville close and get replaced with condos. And we don’t want to see that happen here. Like live music and the musical scene is such an important part of Seattle’s history and their present day it’s it’s.

It’s part of what makes Washington in Seattle very special and it’s true. Live music was the first thing to stop was Cobra. It’s going to be the last thing to come back, especially on these indoor clubs. And they had full time employees that they, and they have rent. And because most of them don’t own the building.

It’s kind of rare to own your building because that’s such an expense. And like, they are just. Hemorrhaging money, the staff, like, are they ever gonna do it? Well, the comeback even it’s just a need. Yeah, too. They need the help to maintain, uh, their space and have like a hold on it. Otherwise it is just going to become another condo.

Andrew: [00:57:01] Yep. 

Emily: [00:57:02] The music is going to play when it’s time to come back. Like even the smaller venues where you cut your teeth, like. You need those, you need Connor berm. You need the tractor Tavern. You need Tim’s Tavern. You need the sunset. You need these places because you can’t 

Andrew: [00:57:20] well, and this was a soft spot pre pandemic too.

I mean, you had the, um, Um, market the, um, shoebox in the market. I had that big campaign where they were getting, they were threatening to, to get it knocked down, um, which would have been really sad. That would have been sad 

Emily: [00:57:40] though. And to be clear, AEG could have very easily afford to keep it. And then you’re just kind of some people which is kind of dumb.

Andrew: [00:57:49] The threatening involved is definitely I misrepresented by and large by, uh, local media, I think. 

Emily: [00:57:59] Um, well, no, it’s like, I think AIG just  we’re not talking about that, but. 

Andrew: [00:58:04] Yeah, Zoe Corazon. Um, then also that was getting knocked down beforehand, which is, uh, before the pandemic, which has already set. So we were like, we’re already seeing some of that pre pandemic and then you go and put a pandemic down.

And I mean, governance gotta be able to do something about that because realistically, this is the kind of stuff that drives the economy and quality of life. And I get that the housing market has to be a really important part of the economy, but.

It’s such an interconnected web. And I just, my concern is someone who’s not an economist is that you go and disrupt huge chunks of the web rebuilding post pandemic is going to be that much more difficult, that much more painful and a little bit less joy than sales deserves. 

Emily: [00:58:54] Yeah. So, uh, I’m really, I’m gonna put, I’m gonna put that.

Well, the link and the show notes. If I can remember, which I hopefully will. Um, so check that out, sign up. Yeah. Um, there’s also the camp, the similar campaign save our stages, uh, which has similar goals. Um, and that’s, that’s another one to check out. This one is more specific to Washington. So I don’t know if, if the, the viewers all over and listeners all over will care as much.

But, um, I think that look to see if there’s something similar in your own community and, and support these local venues. If you support the arts. I mean, if you listen to this podcast, you probably care about the arts. You probably care about music. If you’re not a musician yourself, So even if you’re not a musician, you care about music, you need to care about live videos, even like that.

That’s just the, that’s just the facts 

Andrew: [00:59:49] when we are able to match again. I want somewhere to be able to do that. 

Emily: [00:59:55] If fun watching, I just want to see the old steady again. 

Andrew: [00:59:59] Uh, there’s I went through a round of like the shows that I’d missed the year before COVID because like, I’ll just get him next time, like having a microphone physically, but, um, yeah.

Emily: [01:00:15] Yeah, I miss playing live shows. I really do. And I just want places to play when, when that’s the thing again, like when my band really started record, we’re not going to be able to took her off of it. So I don’t really know how we’re gonna have to find other ways to support it though, when it is time to tour again, like we want, we want there to be places.

We want there to be options for us to play in different cities, because if there are fewer venues and there’s more competition, and then it’s gonna be a lot harder for a band to start to build their work their way up. And the ecosystem. We don’t have places like no fun in Portland or hotel Vegas and Austin.

Um, we’re just, it’s gonna suck. 

Andrew: [01:00:57] Yep, yep. Yep. Is what TIS and I’m trying not to get. Doing gloom about what I have very little control over 

Emily: [01:01:07] good way to look at the world outside of your circle of influence, but you can do some things about it. You can voice your support. You can sign up for this email list.

Let’s see waste. How can I help donate, follow them on social and sign up for email updates? And if you donate to, um, uh, keep music live wla.com. It is tax deductible. And it might be eligible for an employee match.

Andrew: [01:01:41] Well, there you go. I think that’s the perfectly, most depressing way to end the episode. 

Emily: [01:01:48] We’re going to end it like that. 

Andrew: [01:01:52] Would you like me to say something super cheery? 

Emily: [01:01:56] I just want to show off my pumpkin, that Rick got me at the grocery store. So anybody, little pumpkin, the size of a softball with a black kitty cat painted on it, 

Andrew: [01:02:07] we had pumpkins and they already rotted and had to get thrown out.

So we need to get more pumpkins 

Emily: [01:02:12] when you buy them too earliest. That’s that? That’s a common mistake, but I lived in Nashville every year. I’d have a big pumpkin carving party with my friends, but I haven’t done that since I moved to Seattle, which makes me sad. I liked the pumpkin carving party. 

Andrew: [01:02:26] Gave me an excuse to a smashing pumpkins

Emily: [01:02:34] there aren’t on the smashing pumpkins. 

Andrew: [01:02:37] That’s a favorite topic of yours. I know. 

Emily: [01:02:39] Yeah. I saw on Twitter, there was this thread of, um, women basis and someone commented this thread, like the Pixies have a two female basis. And then neither of the ones they mentioned were Kim D. And I was like, what is wrong with you?

Why are you Frank? How are you forgetting Kim deal? Literally. How do you forget Tim deal? You’re thinking about the Pixies and basis. Like, Oh my God, 

Andrew: [01:03:05] Halloween’s a week away. I have ruined planned your costumes. Cause Lord knows I have not yet. Uh, and enjoy the season as best as you can in a socially responsible way.

And uh, until next time, thanks for watching. 

Emily: [01:03:20] Thanks for listening until next time. My name is Emily. 

Andrew: [01:03:25] My name is Andrew.
