Jace Edwards educates Andrew about the Politics of the Radio Business and tells the origin story of how he ended up buying Radio Stations in Winnemucca. This is the second part of the fun and captivating conversation between Andrew Smith and Jace Edwards.

Jace Edwards has always been a part of the Henry's Child family. He's also a radio station owner who booked Henry's Child for the Run-A-Mucca Festival in May of 2021. This was our first show after the Pandemic and was probably the best performance of our lives. Jace helped Henry's Child achieve legendary local status in Eugene when he was a DJ at KNRQ, the Alternative Station in Eugene during the 90's. In this Podcast, Andrew interviews Jace about the state of Radio, the music business and some really great memories we share together. Jace is a huge fan of the band and we think he's pretty awesome too.

Thom plays and discusses the song “Reasonable Doubt”. Recorded sometime between late May 1997 and February 2nd, 1998, this song is, quite literally, everything that made Henry’s Child popular in the 90’s: Highly dynamic, memorable chorus and, yes, it rocks! There are three movements to this song. All are guitar-driven and Andrew’s words with this song really showcases his talent as a lyricist. This is one of the songs up for consideration to be re-recorded by our current incarnation.

Thom plays and discusses the song “End of You”. This is the first and only recorded Henry’s Child song that is not a Henry’s Child song (the exception being the Disney cover of "Trust In Me"). Written and recorded by Quinn Cardwell and Andrew Smith, this song was recorded twice: Once as the group “Quoting Scripture” and once for the Henry’s Child record “I Have Become”. The song is awesome and you will be singing along after the first time you hear it! Enjoy the comparing of two recorded versions of the same song.

Thom plays and discusses the song “Matter of Timing”, which was a song written after the Clearly Confused record and before Andrew’s departure in February 1998. The song is a conscious effort to write a more melodic and less heavy song, but yet one that is distinctly Henry’s Child as it features Andrew’s newly-found falsetto and Rich’s distinctive rhythmic delay. Enjoy this “new” missing song.  Download and Subscribe to the “Am I Crazy or Am I Just Raving” Podcast here:   Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/am-i-crazy-or-am-i-just-raving/id1334445824   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2YlCtWjpLQ6Lyt74n27bz9?si=EMmnxNTqQ7aAsDXdsKIqLA   Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9oZW5yeXNjaGlsZC5saWJzeW4uY29tL3Jzcw?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi-poCptdDrAhUUtJ4KHSbnBWEQ4aUDegQIARAC&hl=en   YouTube: https://youtu.be/hXFFH8kmqWw   HENRY’S CHILD URLs: Official Website http://henryschild.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo31Ezkv6jKZBkdgpJSKH4A Bandcamp: https://henryschild.bandcamp.com Reverb Nation: https://www.reverbnation.com/henryschild Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/henryschild1/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/henrys_child Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/henryschildband/

With the response we received from the recent Lockdown video for “Headlights” I thought it fitting to re-release the third podcast we did.

This is the second part of the “Missing Music” series where Thom examines the song “Incomplete”. This was originally a post-Clearly Confused song recorded at the rehearsal studio that came out of a bass and drum jam. This is contrasted with the same song (same music and almost the same lyrics) by Seven Second Circle for an EP that came out before the “Divide” record.

Thom talks about the missing music. These are songs that got recorded but never made it on to records for some reason or another. Today’s episode Thom explores “The Wheel”. This is a song that was used as a demo for both Rex Morningstar and Andy Makin. Thom plays both versions of the song, showing what different minds can do with the same ingredients. Plus this is one of the first songs Henry’s Child used incorporating Keyboards. The song “The Wheel” made it onto the “Learning Too Much” record, which never got pressed and the song “Hollow” is on the “Satellite Trampoline 3” recording, which was self-duplicated and sold at only one show (TommyJohns in Salem).

Richard Miller has been part of the Henry’s Child family since Thom joined the band and has remained close with the guys throughout various projects. He’s also a huge fan of Seven Second Circle, the “prog” HC. In today’s “Am I Crazy or Am I Just Raving” Podcast, Thom talks to Richard about their shared group “Hack” that they joined with Rex Morningstar and how playing a backyard party ended up getting Richard to join “The American Girls” in Portland. “The American Girls” were the last band signed to Elemental Records and eventually got signed to Sony. Richard cut one of his songs with Andrew Smith on vocals (“Speak to Me”) and anyone close to the Eugene music scene in the mid-90’s will recognize the guitar players we talk about in this episode. Enjoy this fun conversation between two good friends with poor taste in jokes and good taste in music. Thom also gives updates about the new Henry’s Child CD “Listen Closely” that will be out very soon.

Back in 1999, Andy Makin saw an ad on the Henrys Child website where they were looking for a singer. With little more than some pinners in his pocket, Andy jumped on a plane, flew from the UK to the states and instantly became part of the Henry’s Child family. In less than 3 months, Andy, RIch, Jarrett, Doug and Thom recorded a full-length record at the home studio in Creswell. They got to perform one show in Salem before his Visa ran out. The time together was brief, but the impact was lasting. In Part 1 of Andy Makin’s “Am I Crazy or Am I Just Raving” Podcast you get to hear Andy’s origins, how he sang in Adrian Smith’s band “Psycho Motel” and how he got his current band “Nine Miles Down” together. Enjoy this awesome conversation with a talented singer and a permanent Henry’s Child Family member.

Mike Bell is the singer of Big News and Attack Ships on Fire. For our first Podcast of 2020, Thom sits down to catch-up with Mike about what he’s been up to and learn how Big News came together. From 2003 to 2005, Mike played hundreds of shows with Rich and Tommy as “Attack Ships on Fire” with their self-proclaimed mantra of: Two Chords and a Cloud Of Dust Thom and Mike talk about Publishing, Distribution, how Las Vegas impacted the band and the start of his record label Squidhat Records.

Once in awhile some works of greatness get left behind. This is the case for the song “Only Man”. It was written in between “Mumbles and Screams” and “Clearly Confused”. Eventually it ended up on the “Retrospective XX” record that came out in 2014. In today’s episode, Thom resurrects this song and tells a little bit about the back story. More importantly, Thom lets you know what Henry’s Child has been up to in recording the new/old Album. We recorded it in Portland and so far it’s sounding really great.

John Colgate braved Thom’s Portland office and sat down to talk about music: Jollymon, Assisted Living and Blyss. John is one amazing dude and not just a phenomenal guitar player, but one of the coolest guys you’ll ever meet. If you want to know some of the “secrets” of our kindred brothers, Jollymon, you’re gonna get them in this Podcast. We talk about Spanking Sessions at “Cape Fear”, how he broke his ankle before a show in Albuquerque and how a popular contemporary Christian rock band made Blyss change their name to Assisted Living. He gets pretty zen when it comes to the Jollymon philosophy of music and future goals, which is a breath of fresh air to hear these days. John’s creative mission is a pure one that any music connoisseur (or lover of music) will deeply appreciate. Enjoy this awesome conversation with John from Jollymon. ~~~ Come out to our last show of 2019 at Sessions Music Hall.

This is it, friends! We’re ready to premiere our first Video EVER! It’s happening tomorrow (September 28th) in Eugene at the Broadway Metro movie theater. We’ve gotta throw some mad props to the director and our video Guru Karl Whinnery. He’s had a great vision and been a joy to work with. Our friend Steve Rogers also has contributed to this party by sifting through hours of video to get just the best bits to show at the party. Thank you SO MUCH, guys! We really appreciate you. See you all tomorrow night at the Broadway Metro (located at 43 W. Broadway in Eugene, Oregon) for the premiere of “The Stars In Your Eyes” music video.

As a founding member of Two Minutes Hate, Thresher and TV616, Keith Brown was a staple on the Pacific Northwest Music Scene. Tommy & Keith take a leisurely jog down memory lane. We learn how these Grants Pass guys made it up to Eugene (and eventually landed in Portland), bringing along with them their unique and grinding sound that made them a stand-out, powerhouse of a band on the scene in the early 90’s. These guys were hugely influential to Henry’s Child because we played so many shows with them. Among other things, we discuss how our common connection to *she-whom-cannot-be-mentioned* actually led to a stronger bond between our bands, what Tommy always looks for at Record Stores and why we had no choice but to be present to our craft. Keith divulges the secrets of how Thresher synched their video with playing live, he tells how a Sunday evening residency at Dante’s leads to creating Drummatica and what the future holds for his music.

Last week our friend Rich Swanson found a box of old cassette tapes. This box included some old Floater recordings, Two Minutes Hate (lead by Scott Watkins & Keith Brown) and some very old Henry’s Child songs. He gave some of these cassettes to our friend Steve Rogers and he was able to digitize them. There are lots of gems on there, but one song in particular stuck out to me and so I chose to do a podcast about it. It’s an old song, but a goodie and one that has some nice bones to it. This then poses the question: Should Henry’s Child re-record some older songs? Would you be interested in hearing songs from “Mumbles and Screams” or “Drink Me” re-recorded? Enjoy!

This is a little bit of an experiment: In preparation for interviewing Scott Watkins of After the Rain, Thom and Rich started testing mics for the purposes of testing. Little did they know that after some Laphroaig on ice that they’d been talking for almost an hour in a Grants Pass hotel room. They discuss a myriad of topics, ranging from cell phone usage, German pancakes and why thrift store shopping is popular. This podcast cuts off abruptly as Scott and Rebecca show up, but the discussion in between is gold. Also, we’ve got a Video Release show in Eugene on 9/28 at the Broadway Metro and an upcoming show on 10/25 at Sessions Music Hall with Toxic Zombie and After The Rain.

At the final Release show for the record “I Have Become”, Tommy T and Rich sat down with After the Rain frontman Scott Watkins to talk about music. Scott was also the guitar player and singer for both Two Minutes Hate and Thresher, staples in the 90’s Art-Rock scene. The guys did the interview from the Best Western in Grants Pass, so there are some sound issues only because the peanut gallery was asking better questions than Tommy. That said, you get to hear how seeing the Cure in 1985 and getting front row, center stage effected their band, how Scott met his long-time partner-in-crime Keith Brown and how a Deer carcass was used as a stage prop that created a legend for Two Minutes Hate.

Carey Rich lands his spaceship to talk to Thom about Jollymon, music and the upcoming Record Release show at Sessions Music Hall (formerly HiFi Music Lounge) in Eugene. Possessed briefly by the spirit of Kelly Clarkson, Carey talks about the making of VoidWalker and how the songs for that record came together. Carey revisits some of Jollymon’s history and talks about the different guitar players that have been in the band over the years. This gives way to commentary about the scene in the early 90’s along with Jollymon’s rapid rise, including headlining shows in Seattle at some pretty infamous clubs. We talk about the Jollymon Record Release show in Portland and when a stage show becomes a shtick. We talked about where Jollymon recorded VoidWalker and the mastering of the new Henry’s Child Record. We end this Podcast with a “band name” game where we have fun with each other’s childhood band names. SAVE THE DATE for Saturday, April 27th and the Sessions Music Hall (formerly HiFi Music Lounge) in Eugene.

Farmer Grief is the talented keyboard player for Aloe Blacc, but before he took on that role he was a friend of Henry’s Child, going on Tour with them and helping them out whenever he could. Farmer sat down to talk to Thom and what came out of that conversation is one of the best “Am I Crazy or Am I Just Raving” episodes to date. These two friends have a lot of history together and aren’t afraid to be expressed. For example, you will learn how NOT moving to California forced Thom and Farmer to live together and why Thom lived for a brief period of time in Farmer’s darkroom. (Yes, an actual darkroom where photos get developed). Farmer talks about working at Gerlach’s Camera Stores and how the band Big Hippie formed when Jake Morton, Harley Grey and Kalani Makanui joined Farmer, starting off as a High School Battle of the Bands. As far as the music business, we talk about the pros and cons of in-ear monitors (and what they represent), the benefits of using & not using a click track for live performances and Farmer’s fool-proof way to politely not have to speak to your seatmate on flights to shows. Farmer tells a great story about how he and Rex (during the Henry’s Child years) got invited to a private Absolut Vodka party the night we played Hollywood and he tells the story of how he met and ended up writing with Aloe Blacc. Farmer finishes this conversation with some sage advice about how Empathy is the best way to build a network of folks who can help you with your music.

Thom sits down with Soriah, a Tuvan Throat Singer who has played with an incredibly diverse group of folks, including Rob Wynia of Floater and David J from Bauhaus. The name “Soriah” is a spirit suit worn for performance: A state of trance and gnosis that he gets into during his performances. We both agreed that the feeling from performing music had the potential to become “spiritual” in the sense that there are few words that can describe the feeling it brings. We learn that his father was part of Los Sputniks, a mexican rock band that was popular in Mexico City during the mid-60’s, so music always played a part in Soriah’s life. We also learn how Jets and Airplane noises played a part as well. Soriah was exposed to Tuvan Throat Singing from a mix CD given to him by a friend. He then developed this passion the ended up with him meeting and learning from Tuvan throat singer and eventually a trip to Tuva was in order. Soriah also created a record with Daniel Riddle at Mazinga Studios. Soriah tells us about what Tuva is like and some interesting history and stories of the Tuvan folks. Enjoy this really great interview with a passionate and talented musician.

Thom had a great conversation with Logan Hawkes. Logan was a part of the Henry’s Child family from almost the beginning, being the guy that booked and ran “The Rant” for Z-Rock in Eugene and Springfield. Logan talks about his start at KBVR and how he’d commute from Corvallis to Eugene to work the overnight shifts at radio stations. He shares a great story about how Nirvana’s 1991 release “Nevermind” permeated the different sub-cultures of his life and work, all on the same day. He explains how working in Radio in the 90’s worked and the concept of Payola and how it’s generally like Politics, “but with a better sound track”. We then talk about how Logan meets Henry’s Child and tells a great story about Andrew closing out the final Z-Rock show down to the very last minute. Logan talks about Sonic X-Plosion and gives a mini tribute to Brandon Leberman (currently at KBOO in Portland) for bringing punk rock music to Corvallis Oregon in the 80’s. Logan tells us about his final radio gig and how he got into tech. Thom and Logan discuss their mutual friend Gary Spinrad and his contribution to the new Henry’s Child record plus the fact that Gary personally knows Elviss Simmons.

Thom sits down to talk to Rex Morningstar. Rex was the second vocalist for Henry’s Child from 1998 to 1999. Rex and Thom played music Henry’s Child before in a band called “Hack” that also included long-time personal friend Richard Miller. Thom and Rex discuss how they met in Photography class and reminisce about their friend Cory Empens. Rex tells the history of Cetus, his first hard rock band. We talk about Cetus being in the Elemental Sonic X-Plosion and how this was the first hard rock band that Rex sang for. Then, Rex tries out for Henry’s Child and is a good fit. Henry’s Child immediately records the album “Learning Too Much” record, which Rex calls “a Rock Opera of Experimentation”. Henry’s Child then goes on Tour and it turns out that wasn’t a good long-term fit between the band and Rex. Rex went on to start a Church down in Glendale, Oregon where he is the Pastor. Rex discusses his church, the outreach it creates in the community and the recognition of genius. Please enjoy this wonderful exchange between two friends.

Thom sat down with longtime friend Jake Morton to talk music. Thom and Jake have been friends for almost 30 years and Jake has crossed paths several times with Henry’s Child: First when his band Big Hippie would open for Henry’s Child at the WOW Hall and secondly by filling in for Doug Cramer’s absence after the reunion. Jake tells the story of how Big Hippie moves to Hollywood, broke up and how his second band “Theta State” started out of frustration not playing. We play the song “Impotence” from Theta State. Jake is a monster musician and was raised with music being an important part of his life. Oh, and Jarrett Holly (now Guitarist In Henry’s Child) produced virtually all Theta State recordings, some at Studio Atlantis (check out Episode 20). This Podcast comes out next Friday.

In today’s “Am I Crazy or Am I Just Raving” episode Thom announces a show for October 20th at The House of Shadows. The House of Shadows is a haunted house located in Gresham and Henry’s Child will be playing with Othrys and VonDoom. Back in episode 15, Rich talked with Sebastian Phoenix from Othrys and we played the song “Retrograde”.

What do Ghosts in Independence, The Statesman Journal in Salem and the beach town of Manzanita have in common with Henry's Child? It’s Andre Hagestedt. Andre was an entertainment writer for the Statesman Journal and is a close friend of the band. He was a champion of Henry’s Child since the early days and in today’s episode, Thom sits down to catch up with Andre. They go from talking about the music scene in the 90’s to talking about coastal geology in this fun an informative conversation of the "Am I Crazy or Am I Just Raving" Podcast.

In today’s episode I interview a musical legend: Daniel Riddle of King Black Acid. Daniel is a very cool, intelligent guy who is a self-described “lifer” in music. And when you hear his history, it will all make sense. Daniel talks about his first band, the “Indigo Zeros”, and how he ended up relocating to Portland from the San Francisco Bay area. He talks about the inception of “Hitting Birth” (and a legendary show they played with Nirvana at Satyricon). He tells how “King Black Acid” started as a way to perform a different type of music. Daniel is always expanding and this vastness is what makes his art great. We recorded this Podcast at Mazinga Studios and it was great to be in the environment where that music is created. As Daniel said, he approaches music with a “big heart and an open mind”, which is how you should embrace this episode. Enjoy!

On today’s Podcast, Thom talks to Darren Linder. Darren plays drums in a band called “The Shrike” and played with Henry’s Child at places like the Westside Station with his band “Multiple Sarcasm” back in the 90’s. They talk about touring different parts of the year, venues in Portland and what life was like growing up in Eugene. They came to the conclusion that the scene is less competitive now than it was in the 90’s, with music at an older age being more of brotherhood. They play the song “Chase The Sun” from The Shrike’s latest EP. Darren gives many a tip about booking shows, something he is really passionate about. We talk about Darren’s blog and the stories he has from working music shows 6 nights a week. We wrap it up with details about a show with The Shrike and Henry’s Child on Friday, September 21st at The Bombs Away Cafe in Corvallis.

In today’s “Am I Crazy or Am I Just Raving” Podcast, Thom and Howard continue their conversation, discussing Howard leaving the music business (for the first time) and moving to LA. Once in Southern California, Howard pursued his original profession of being a writer. He wrote for LA Times Magazine and worked as a collaborator and interviewer on a book, meeting with some pretty famous folks along the way. Realizing that he enjoyed his community of friends in Oregon, he moved back to Eugene and started managing a few NW bands. This stint in the music business lasted awhile, but Howard decided to get back to writing, completing a Science Fiction novel called “When All Else Fails”. He’d had this idea in his brain as a teenager and produced an amazing work-of art that is just the first in a series of books that he’s going to complete.

Thom sits down to talk to his friend and mentor Howard Libes. Howard was the manager for the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies during the explosion of the Zoot Suit Riot album and the band getting signed to Mojo Records. Howard talks about why he ended up in Eugene and how the artist collective used to include a slew of anyone participating in creating art: Musicians, painters and writers. This got Howard into the musical circles with Steve Perry who formed the Daddies and went on to national success with his music. Howard tells some captivating stories and offers insight into the music industry from back in the 90’s. Thom and Howard begin the comparing and contrasting in this episode, but do most of that in Part 2 which will be out next week. Enjoy this fun and insightful look into the history of our extended Elemental Records family.
