Podcast appearances and mentions of Damien Rice

Labhraíonn comhfhreagraí ceoil Emma Ní Chearúil ar tinochair, carachtair agus rianta 'O' le Damien Rice, 13 bliana níos déanaí.

Joe & Adam take a long hard look at the film Closer, based on the play of the same name, by Patrick Marber.  Released in 2004, the MYFYF duo ponder if it translates to screen, the brutal language of love, and the Julia Roberts of it all - is she just too damn powerful to be believable? They keep singing that Damien Rice song too. Content warning: the film is bracingly frank with its use of rude language, and it gets quoted. A lot.  Send us an email at moviesyouforgotyouforgot@gmail.com with any cinematic thoughts you have, along with suggestions for future episodes. There is a ‘communal list' of films people forgot they forgot - add one to the tally. Follow Adam on Letterboxd, it's fun over there. He might follow back - depends on your numbers and if you review the films you log.

Music kind of fell by the wayside. 42 00:03:11,355 --> 00:03:17,395 Fast forward 20 years, that marriage ended, and my sister, who is probably one 43 00:03:17,395 --> 00:03:21,455 of my biggest fans, told me that I needed to start playing again, basically. 44 00:03:21,715 --> 00:03:26,035 A year later, I released my first album, and it was all songs written while 45 00:03:26,035 --> 00:03:28,775 I was going through a divorce, so they were very angry songs. 46 00:03:30,355 --> 00:03:33,555 A few years after that, well, about a year and a half after that, 47 00:03:33,595 --> 00:03:39,115 actually, I released a second EP entitled Tuwache Vida, which was songs I had 48 00:03:39,115 --> 00:03:40,995 written about genocide in Africa. 49 00:03:41,455 --> 00:03:43,755 Something that was pretty near and dear to my heart. 50 00:03:44,655 --> 00:03:48,655 And then I joined a band. I was hired gun guitar player, 51 00:03:48,775 --> 00:03:53,215 played with them for about six years and I was having a blast and everything, 52 00:03:53,315 --> 00:03:56,695 but it got to be a little much, you know, everybody in the band was working 53 00:03:56,695 --> 00:04:01,255 full-time day jobs and the band was starting to have a little bit of success, 54 00:04:01,335 --> 00:04:03,735 but not enough that any of us could quit our jobs. 55 00:04:04,035 --> 00:04:08,555 Okay. So, so I said, I was getting a little burned out. So I said basically 56 00:04:08,555 --> 00:04:10,875 that I needed a brief hiatus. 57 00:04:11,355 --> 00:04:15,575 And that hiatus actually, which was going to originally be a month or two, 58 00:04:15,615 --> 00:04:17,555 turned into 12 years. Oh, wow. 59 00:04:17,915 --> 00:04:19,975 Yeah, yeah. Pretty, pretty surprising. 60 00:04:20,535 --> 00:04:26,595 But then the pandemic happened and my full-time day job, I was out and about. 61 00:04:26,675 --> 00:04:29,235 I worked through a whole pandemic, which was pretty stressful. 62 00:04:29,755 --> 00:04:34,435 And when things started coming out of that, I realized I was in kind of a bad place mentally. 63 00:04:34,895 --> 00:04:38,795 So I decided I was going to start playing music again, just for my own personal 64 00:04:38,795 --> 00:04:42,455 therapy. You know, just it was something I enjoyed, something I loved, 65 00:04:42,455 --> 00:04:46,555 and it was something that took my mind off of everything else that was going on. 66 00:04:46,755 --> 00:04:50,815 And so I had absolutely no intention of getting back into the scene. 67 00:04:51,295 --> 00:04:55,475 But as I started playing, you know, and I was playing when we're kids, 68 00:04:55,655 --> 00:04:59,015 we play for the pure enjoyment and for the innocence of it, you know. 69 00:04:59,215 --> 00:05:02,455 So that was kind of the mindset I was going to bring into it this time. 70 00:05:02,695 --> 00:05:08,795 And I was I was playing for just for the pure enjoyment. And but before long, my muse showed up. 71 00:05:09,275 --> 00:05:11,975 And kind of smacked me in the back of the head and said oh 72 00:05:11,975 --> 00:05:15,435 welcome back i got a whole bunch of songs for you to write now and 73 00:05:15,435 --> 00:05:18,475 i started creating and i 74 00:05:18,475 --> 00:05:21,275 realized well what good are these songs if 75 00:05:21,275 --> 00:05:25,115 nobody's ever going to hear them i was really proud of them and decided all 76 00:05:25,115 --> 00:05:29,375 right well i guess i'm going to release an album and here we are back in the 77 00:05:29,375 --> 00:05:33,955 scene a lot a lot deeper than i had planned on going but yeah of it you know 78 00:05:33,955 --> 00:05:39,175 excellent so what what was what is your muse that made you really get back into this. 79 00:05:39,775 --> 00:05:41,335 Well, it's funny, but she just 80 00:05:41,335 --> 00:05:45,795 kind of showed up one day and I don't know who she is. I call her a she. 81 00:05:45,955 --> 00:05:48,715 I've never seen her or anything, but it's just. 82 00:05:49,723 --> 00:05:53,603 It's kind of a cliche when we talk to certain musicians about, 83 00:05:53,683 --> 00:05:57,963 they say, oh, well, the song was just floating in the universe and it just found 84 00:05:57,963 --> 00:06:00,023 me and filtered itself out through me. 85 00:06:00,203 --> 00:06:03,923 But a lot of the songs on this record, that's kind of the way they came. 86 00:06:04,203 --> 00:06:08,383 Just started noodling in the studio, playing around and all of a sudden the 87 00:06:08,383 --> 00:06:10,923 melody came and I'd build off of that and build off of that. 88 00:06:11,023 --> 00:06:12,243 And next thing I knew, I had a song. 89 00:06:12,663 --> 00:06:19,403 There are a couple on the album that were written for a specific purpose, like Russian warship. 90 00:06:19,483 --> 00:06:24,863 That one was, I don't know if you're familiar with the story of the Ukrainian 91 00:06:24,863 --> 00:06:26,643 soldiers on Snake Island, Ukraine. 92 00:06:27,123 --> 00:06:32,903 After Russians invaded Ukraine, a Russian warship basically told them they needed 93 00:06:32,903 --> 00:06:35,223 to surrender or they would be attacked. 94 00:06:35,663 --> 00:06:39,923 And the Ukrainians, in no uncertain terms, told the Russians where to go. 95 00:06:40,483 --> 00:06:46,883 So I wrote that song with trying to envision some of the emotions that the ukrainian 96 00:06:46,883 --> 00:06:50,563 soldiers were feeling while they were waiting for the russians to attack, 97 00:06:51,123 --> 00:06:54,823 gotcha that's that's where that song came from okay but 98 00:06:54,823 --> 00:06:58,203 like unquiet ghost i was just rehearsing to 99 00:06:58,203 --> 00:07:00,983 do a show and this melody just popped 100 00:07:00,983 --> 00:07:03,743 into my head and i started playing it and inside of 10 101 00:07:03,743 --> 00:07:06,443 minutes i had the song and there's there's a 102 00:07:06,443 --> 00:07:09,343 line in a josh ritter song called the bone 103 00:07:09,343 --> 00:07:12,363 of song where the song is basically about finding 104 00:07:12,363 --> 00:07:15,443 a bone in the woods and there are lyrics engraved on 105 00:07:15,443 --> 00:07:18,163 the bone and if you find the bone and put it back it will give you a 106 00:07:18,163 --> 00:07:23,043 song but there's a line in there it says lucky are you who finds me in the wilderness 107 00:07:23,043 --> 00:07:28,083 for i am the only unquiet ghost that does not seek rest and i wrote this song 108 00:07:28,083 --> 00:07:31,963 and it was like where did that come from it's like i have no idea where it came 109 00:07:31,963 --> 00:07:37,763 from but i figured the unquiet ghost brought it to me so that's what i titled it was unquiet ghost. 110 00:07:38,640 --> 00:09:46,000 Music. 111 00:09:46,464 --> 00:09:51,184 Cool.

I'd build off of it and things like that. 115 00:10:04,964 --> 00:10:09,244 Nothing on the album is specifically related to my military experience, 116 00:10:09,244 --> 00:10:14,464 because that was a long time ago so kind 117 00:10:14,464 --> 00:10:17,224 of diving back into a recap of everything that you've 118 00:10:17,224 --> 00:10:20,284 said so far you said back when you were 17 your dad 119 00:10:20,284 --> 00:10:24,924 basically kind of showed you that in his own way that he felt that you weren't 120 00:10:24,924 --> 00:10:28,844 able to become a professional musician as this was going to become your profession 121 00:10:28,844 --> 00:10:34,144 as listeners are out there what do you think your dad was right about that made 122 00:10:34,144 --> 00:10:36,504 sure that that was the actual path 123 00:10:36,504 --> 00:10:39,424 for you to take was not to become a professional musician at that time? 124 00:10:39,764 --> 00:10:42,964 Well, it's not that he didn't want me to be a professional musician. 125 00:10:43,204 --> 00:10:47,384 He knew I wasn't good enough at that point.

And he got up and walked out of the kitchen. 136 00:11:15,084 --> 00:11:18,984 And the next day I came home from school and there was an envelope on the table. 137 00:11:19,064 --> 00:11:23,164 I opened it up and there was $500 cash, Greyhound bus ticket, 138 00:11:23,264 --> 00:11:25,264 and a list of names and phone numbers. 139 00:11:25,584 --> 00:11:28,164 And he said, you're going to Nashville this weekend. And he said, 140 00:11:28,284 --> 00:11:32,064 all I want you to do is just spend the weekend walking up and down 16th Avenue, 141 00:11:32,224 --> 00:11:35,804 which at the time was the street all the major recording studios were on. 142 00:11:35,804 --> 00:11:38,964 And so I did that, you know, that was back in the days when you could send your 143 00:11:38,964 --> 00:11:42,804 17 year old boy off to a different state and not really have to worry about it too much. 144 00:11:42,924 --> 00:11:46,944 It didn't take me long to realize that these guys playing for change on the 145 00:11:46,944 --> 00:11:51,304 street corners weren't good enough to get jobs and they were a lot better than me. 146 00:11:51,424 --> 00:11:54,944 So it was kind of my dad's way of making me figure it out myself. 147 00:11:55,224 --> 00:11:58,964 So that's when I came home and said, well, I got to come up with a plan B. 148 00:11:59,624 --> 00:12:04,544 And and my i fully intended on pursuing music but you know life gets in the 149 00:12:04,544 --> 00:12:10,144 way a lot of times and things like that right okay no that that's a really interesting story it's like, 150 00:12:10,699 --> 00:12:13,619 Like you said, you know, if he would have just said, no, you're not good enough, 151 00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:16,999 you probably would have not listened to one word he said and, 152 00:12:16,999 --> 00:12:18,319 you know, fought against it. 153 00:12:18,499 --> 00:12:23,919 But your own experience, you went, okay, well, am I going to be dedicated enough 154 00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:25,259 to become better than these people? 155 00:12:25,379 --> 00:12:27,759 Yes or no. And obviously you made that decision. 156 00:12:28,339 --> 00:12:32,499 Yeah. Gotcha. Okay. Well, and he didn't, he didn't want to see me go down to 157 00:12:32,499 --> 00:12:35,059 Nashville and then, you know, be living on the street starving. 158 00:12:35,599 --> 00:12:40,239 Right. Exactly. When no parent wants to see that happen. They want to see their kids successful. 159 00:12:41,299 --> 00:12:44,179 Now, obviously, you were in the military. 160 00:12:44,419 --> 00:12:48,759 Did you do anything musical in the military, or was it something in a different 161 00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:52,639 branch of the military that you were a part of? Well, no, I was in the Coast Guard. Okay. 162 00:12:53,019 --> 00:12:56,099 And my first duty station was Kodiak Island, Alaska. 163 00:12:56,899 --> 00:13:01,499 And while I was there, I met a fellow banjo player. So we formed a little group 164 00:13:01,499 --> 00:13:03,539 and we did a cassette tape. 165 00:13:03,899 --> 00:13:07,539 We didn't know anything about vinyl pressing or anything at that time. 166 00:13:07,619 --> 00:13:08,939 So we went into the studio and 167 00:13:08,939 --> 00:13:12,979 recorded, I think, seven or eight songs and put them on a cassette tape. 168 00:13:13,499 --> 00:13:16,299 And it was just bluegrass covers, that kind of a thing. 169 00:13:16,339 --> 00:13:19,539 It was just guitar and banjo. and during that experience 170 00:13:19,539 --> 00:13:22,339 in the studio it was like okay i want to do more of this 171 00:13:22,339 --> 00:13:25,259 this was fun yeah you know we played played 172 00:13:25,259 --> 00:13:28,239 some shows on the base and there wasn't a whole lot to 173 00:13:28,239 --> 00:13:33,539 do in the city of kodiak it's a city of 5 000 people and probably 4 000 of them 174 00:13:33,539 --> 00:13:37,539 are commercial fishermen and so you know the the bars get kind of rowdy when 175 00:13:37,539 --> 00:13:43,299 the guys are in right yeah so there wasn't a whole lot of opportunities to play 176 00:13:43,299 --> 00:13:47,059 but we played some shows on the base at the officers club the enlisted men's 177 00:13:47,059 --> 00:13:48,119 club and things like that. 178 00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:51,859 And then from there, I got transferred to Two Rivers, Wisconsin, 179 00:13:52,419 --> 00:13:55,979 where I had joined a country band. I grew up country. 180 00:13:57,168 --> 00:14:01,388 I didn't even realize anything but country existed until I was 12 when my cousin 181 00:14:01,388 --> 00:14:05,108 played Here Comes the Sun for me by the Beatles and blew my mind. Yeah. 182 00:14:05,648 --> 00:14:11,568 But came back from Alaska, formed a country cover band, and did that for a little while. 183 00:14:11,728 --> 00:14:16,168 And then met a woman, got married, had a family, and wife kind of got in the way. 184 00:14:16,248 --> 00:14:21,328 So that was my first hiatus from music, which lasted almost 20 years. 185 00:14:21,548 --> 00:14:27,168 Yeah. And then around, if I'm figuring this out correctly, going backwards from 186 00:14:27,168 --> 00:14:28,008 what you talked about before, 187 00:14:28,788 --> 00:14:36,508 about mid-2000s, between 2000 and 2010 is when you started your back to music 188 00:14:36,508 --> 00:14:38,328 with a band. Was that around that time? 189 00:14:39,348 --> 00:14:44,908 Yeah. Yeah. Let's see. What would that have been? Yeah, right around mids. Yeah. Yeah. 190 00:14:45,488 --> 00:14:49,688 And I started, you know, I started, I wrote my, my album, which is titled, 191 00:14:49,928 --> 00:14:53,448 I never want to meet another you. That's the one I wrote after I got divorced. Right. 192 00:14:53,948 --> 00:14:58,008 Gotcha. And the guy that owned the studio that I recorded that in, 193 00:14:58,068 --> 00:15:02,048 we ended up becoming really good friends and he invited me to join his band 194 00:15:02,048 --> 00:15:03,948 kind of as a hired gun guitar player. 195 00:15:04,348 --> 00:15:07,768 And I did that. It was a band out of Sheboygan called Icarus Drifting, 196 00:15:07,868 --> 00:15:13,128 which is the band is still around. They're called the Bellwether now. Oh, okay. 197 00:15:13,508 --> 00:15:18,128 Sure. Yeah. Yeah, Eric Cox and Thea, Marissa, and Corey. 198 00:15:18,468 --> 00:15:24,388 But yeah, so after Icarus kind of fell apart, Eric reformed Icarus into the bellwether. 199 00:15:24,528 --> 00:15:27,608 But I played with Eric and Icarus Drifting for about six years. 200 00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:33,648 And that's during that time I released my second album. And then we released an album as Icarus. 201 00:15:34,368 --> 00:15:39,308 Okay. So let's talk a little bit about this newest album that you recently released. 202 00:15:39,308 --> 00:15:43,668 Based um kind of give the listeners kind of like a the summary of from beginning 203 00:15:43,668 --> 00:15:48,408 to end how it started where you recorded it things you kind of learned from 204 00:15:48,408 --> 00:15:54,468 that process and the release story behind it yeah so i wrote these songs that 205 00:15:54,468 --> 00:15:57,628 you know over the course of about 16 or 18 months. 206 00:15:58,968 --> 00:16:03,548 And a friend of mine i live in fond du lac and a friend of mine owns a studio 207 00:16:03,548 --> 00:16:08,068 it's not a pro that's not his business but he you know he has a studio on the 208 00:16:08,068 --> 00:16:12,848 side he's a music teacher and things like that and he offered to record it for 209 00:16:12,848 --> 00:16:16,108 me so I took him up on it and just kind of, 210 00:16:16,628 --> 00:16:20,828 laid out the songs that I did and then you know picked the sequence that I wanted 211 00:16:20,828 --> 00:16:25,788 to put him in and one of the reviews that I got on the record said it's it's 212 00:16:25,788 --> 00:16:30,588 it's a journey going through the desert and seeing almost every single different 213 00:16:30,588 --> 00:16:34,788 terrain a desert would have to offer which is It's pretty interesting. 214 00:16:35,208 --> 00:16:38,228 The songs were not written to be grouped together. 215 00:16:38,688 --> 00:16:41,808 They weren't written specifically for this album. 216 00:16:41,868 --> 00:16:45,728 I would just write a song and log it. And then pretty soon I realized these 217 00:16:45,728 --> 00:16:49,348 songs all kind of go together with a little bit of variation. 218 00:16:49,488 --> 00:16:51,628 So they don't all sound the same. Right. 219 00:16:52,857 --> 00:16:57,877 And the title came from something a woman said to me after a live show one time. 220 00:16:57,937 --> 00:17:02,177 She said, your music just makes me feel so carefree, like I want to drive through 221 00:17:02,177 --> 00:17:03,757 the desert to burn a million dollars. 222 00:17:03,917 --> 00:17:07,017 And I went, oh, I got to write that down. Yeah, definitely, definitely. 223 00:17:07,497 --> 00:17:10,597 Very catchy, very thought-provoking title. 224 00:17:11,277 --> 00:17:15,577 Now, the tunes that you had mentioned earlier, Russian and Ghost, 225 00:17:15,697 --> 00:17:16,657 are those part of that album? 226 00:17:17,137 --> 00:17:20,717 Yes, they're both on this album. Okay. It's Russian Worship, 227 00:17:20,837 --> 00:17:27,017 and there is another part to the name of that song, but it's got a bad word in it. Okay, gotcha. 228 00:17:28,377 --> 00:17:32,017 And then the other one is called Unquiet Ghost. Unquiet Ghost. 229 00:17:32,637 --> 00:17:37,857 My favorite song on the album is Low-Flying Owls, which was one of those songs. 230 00:17:37,857 --> 00:17:39,297 That just kind of came to me. 231 00:17:39,377 --> 00:17:45,897 I just wrote it one day, and I played it for my wife, and we're trying to come up with a title for it. 232 00:17:46,717 --> 00:17:49,537 Because a lot of times, you know, it's instrumental, there's no 233 00:17:49,537 --> 00:17:52,457 story right sometimes there's a story behind it but 234 00:17:52,457 --> 00:17:55,857 it may not be obvious to the listener because there's no words right 235 00:17:55,857 --> 00:17:59,937 so i try to either name 236 00:17:59,937 --> 00:18:04,177 the song after a feeling that the song may evoke or i go the complete opposite 237 00:18:04,177 --> 00:18:09,297 direction and just name it something really offbeat and off the wall and this 238 00:18:09,297 --> 00:18:12,777 one yeah i'd written the song and she said well let's just marinate on it for 239 00:18:12,777 --> 00:18:17,977 a few days and see if something doesn't come to us and we actually saw a road sign sign. 240 00:18:18,337 --> 00:18:22,357 And you know, those yellow diamond shaped signs like a deer crossing sign. 241 00:18:22,677 --> 00:18:26,097 And it said, caution, low flying owls. 242 00:18:26,757 --> 00:18:32,017 And my wife turned to me and looked at me and I had the song recorded and she's like, play that song. 243 00:18:32,357 --> 00:18:35,257 So I played it and she went, Oh my God, that's it. It's low. 244 00:18:35,397 --> 00:18:38,977 And she says, I just envisioned an owl just kind of soaring through the woods 245 00:18:38,977 --> 00:18:42,577 with its wings stretched out. And so that's what I titled it. 246 00:18:43,920 --> 00:21:37,840 Music. 247 00:21:37,688 --> 00:21:41,428 Obviously multiple different states and 248 00:21:41,428 --> 00:21:44,288 venues what can you kind of tell the listeners 249 00:21:44,288 --> 00:21:47,988 about your experience of the local attitude that 250 00:21:47,988 --> 00:21:50,768 you have experienced over the years that you have played out live 251 00:21:50,768 --> 00:21:53,668 good and bad well the the 252 00:21:53,668 --> 00:21:56,668 bad is the typical and i'm sure almost every musician out there 253 00:21:56,668 --> 00:21:59,388 will will agree with me when you know 254 00:21:59,388 --> 00:22:02,448 you show up to a gig and there's five people there and 255 00:22:02,448 --> 00:22:06,648 four of those five people are talking right 256 00:22:06,648 --> 00:22:09,368 you know and that's just part of it 257 00:22:09,368 --> 00:22:12,588 right but you know that it's there's that one person 258 00:22:12,588 --> 00:22:16,108 standing there paying attention and that's 259 00:22:16,108 --> 00:22:19,488 you know you got to bring your stadium show your a-game even if it's just one 260 00:22:19,488 --> 00:22:26,828 person you know well the good stuff is is far outweighs the bad of course but 261 00:22:26,828 --> 00:22:31,928 it's it's like one of the best experiences that ever happened to me after a 262 00:22:31,928 --> 00:22:34,688 live show and during a live show actually is i have a song, 263 00:22:35,428 --> 00:22:41,408 i wrote called river of souls and it's about genocide in africa it's a pretty dark heavy song. 264 00:22:42,228 --> 00:22:48,668 But i was playing a small coffee shop in cheboygan and i saw a woman in the 265 00:22:48,668 --> 00:22:53,588 audience just happened to notice she was crying i mean i'm like you know bawling 266 00:22:53,588 --> 00:22:56,888 ugly crying and we made eye eye contact. 267 00:22:57,168 --> 00:23:00,428 And she got up and ran into the bathroom while I'm on stage playing the song, 268 00:23:00,608 --> 00:23:03,128 looking at her husband who was sitting next to her thinking, 269 00:23:03,308 --> 00:23:04,648 well, you jerk, what'd you say to her? 270 00:23:04,768 --> 00:23:09,328 You know, and finished out the show. 271 00:23:09,408 --> 00:23:13,888 And she came up to me after the show and she says, I've never been moved so 272 00:23:13,888 --> 00:23:16,228 much in my life as I have from that song. 273 00:23:16,748 --> 00:23:19,948 And I said, you were crying because of my song.

Yeah, it's good to explore all the different types of 306 00:25:28,192 --> 00:25:30,692 music out there, especially when, like you. 307 00:25:31,873 --> 00:25:34,213 Where you just started out, you didn't think there was anything besides country 308 00:25:34,213 --> 00:25:35,073 out there till you were 12. 309 00:25:35,553 --> 00:25:38,593 Now you're exploring all this different kinds of music. And I think it just 310 00:25:38,593 --> 00:25:41,853 makes you a better, not just a better musician, but just makes you a better 311 00:25:41,853 --> 00:25:45,333 person overall, just to experience all these different kinds of music out there. 312 00:25:45,553 --> 00:25:49,673 Oh, absolutely. Yeah. And, you know, and I draw a little influence from certain things. 313 00:25:50,093 --> 00:25:53,613 I was just playing the other day in the studio and I have a loop pedal that I play with. 314 00:25:53,713 --> 00:25:57,173 I don't do a lot with it live, but just started this little riff and it was 315 00:25:57,173 --> 00:26:00,193 like, that sounds kind of tool-like. So I just built off of it. 316 00:26:00,413 --> 00:26:03,473 Nice. you know and it's just had i 317 00:26:03,473 --> 00:26:06,333 not been exposed to that music i probably never would have done that right 318 00:26:06,333 --> 00:26:09,473 yeah i like to expose myself to a lot of different styles and 319 00:26:09,473 --> 00:26:12,653 genres now one of 320 00:26:12,653 --> 00:26:16,113 the questions i ask is about like work life balance you haven't really said 321 00:26:16,113 --> 00:26:20,973 you're retired or not but do you have like a work life balance difficulty or 322 00:26:20,973 --> 00:26:25,413 is it kind of pretty much you're you got a good balance going there i think 323 00:26:25,413 --> 00:26:31,573 it's it's probably it's pretty decent i mean it's work Work definitely is the predominant. 324 00:26:31,573 --> 00:26:35,613 I do have a day job predominant factor in my life right now. 325 00:26:35,933 --> 00:26:41,553 I work 10 hour days and I have a almost hour drive to and from work. 326 00:26:41,673 --> 00:26:44,853 So I've got, yeah, I live in Fidelac.

You know, I come home and try, 329 00:26:55,573 --> 00:26:59,633 you know, like Mondays and Tuesdays, I'm done earlier than I am on Wednesdays and Thursdays. 330 00:26:59,633 --> 00:27:04,373 So I have time to play after work and things like that on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 331 00:27:04,373 --> 00:27:08,793 I get a little bit of time in the morning to play, but my wife does work Fridays. 332 00:27:08,893 --> 00:27:10,853 So Friday is kind of my day. 333 00:27:12,293 --> 00:27:16,533 It's my day to just do what I need to do and what I want to do and things like that. 334 00:27:16,613 --> 00:27:19,113 And then come the weekend, if we don't have anything going on, 335 00:27:19,133 --> 00:27:23,493 then I go into studio and, you know, play some more or it's, 336 00:27:23,533 --> 00:27:27,853 it's pretty rare that we don't have something going on. at least one of the days on the weekend. 337 00:27:28,795 --> 00:27:34,015 Are you going out and still performing with the new album?

So being an instrumental artist, you know, 342 00:27:51,375 --> 00:27:57,895 I'm definitely not a bar scene kind of a guy. So my stuff just is not made for 343 00:27:57,895 --> 00:27:59,815 that particular type of venue. 344 00:28:00,175 --> 00:28:06,035 So I'm trying to find, you know, wine bars or maybe smaller places to play there. 345 00:28:06,415 --> 00:28:10,275 My wife and I happen to love the Door County areas and there's a lot of places 346 00:28:10,275 --> 00:28:12,275 up there.

I'm kind of reluctant to always say he's 360 00:29:00,416 --> 00:29:03,156 from Ireland because that immediately conjures up the image of, 361 00:29:03,236 --> 00:29:06,816 oh, he does Irish music, but he does not. He isn't a singer-songwriter. Right. 362 00:29:07,376 --> 00:29:09,036 But we've seen him a couple times, 363 00:29:09,216 --> 00:29:12,156 and we're actually going to see him in Chicago on the 1st of December. 364 00:29:12,956 --> 00:29:17,976 But he played the Auditorium Theater a few years ago, walked out on that stage, 365 00:29:18,016 --> 00:29:21,716 and I don't know what the capacity of the theater is. It's probably 6,000 or 8,000. 366 00:29:22,136 --> 00:29:24,936 But he walked out on that stage solo, solo just an 367 00:29:24,936 --> 00:29:28,096 acoustic guitar and that place fell silent 368 00:29:28,096 --> 00:29:31,336 for two hours i mean it was amazing 369 00:29:31,336 --> 00:29:34,616 i don't know how you do that one guy in acoustic guitar i'm 370 00:29:34,616 --> 00:29:41,016 working on figuring it out just yeah it's just like you're just mesmerized by 371 00:29:41,016 --> 00:29:46,256 someone that can go up there just them and an instrument and just control your 372 00:29:46,256 --> 00:29:48,076 attention for that amount of 373 00:29:48,076 --> 00:29:53,836 time it's just exactly yeah it's awe-inspiring and and And he's just so, 374 00:29:54,036 --> 00:29:57,416 I don't know if you're familiar with his music at all, but it's pretty deep, too. 375 00:29:58,036 --> 00:30:02,916 It's the type of music that you really should listen to. And most of his fans 376 00:30:02,916 --> 00:30:04,896 realize this, so most of them do. 377 00:30:05,696 --> 00:30:07,956 They're all in. Yeah. 378 00:30:09,416 --> 00:30:13,016 And that's definitely one of our favorites.

The incredible Gemma Sugrue joins Alexa this week to take a deep dive into the world of mix voice and belt techniques. We're thrilled to explore this topic with Gemma, especially after our enlightening conversation with John Henney in episode 101. KEY TAKEAWAYS Gemma believes the belt is characterised by a thick vocal closure, a ratio of high pressure to air pressure, and a significant presence of upper partial activities in the harmonic spectrum frequencies. She sees belt as a way of singing that deviates from the norm and is recognisable by its specific vocal qualities. Mixing involves singing higher notes with power, control and balanced resonances. It requires effective vowel modification, smooth vocal transitions and proper management of air pressure and airflow. It is a coordinated and controlled technique that allows singers to achieve strength and skill in their higher ranges. When training singers, Gemma prioritises developing their listening skills. She believes it is crucial for singers to excel in perceiving sound before focusing on physical sensations. By enhancing their auditory intelligence and spectral hearing abilities, singers can naturally align their body parts to produce the desired sound. Gemma focuses on helping singers develop a strong and controlled mode one up to G4. This applies to both male voices with a more testosterone-driven quality and female voices with a more oestrogen-driven quality. It's essential for singers to be able to sing all the vowels and navigate through that octave effectively, maintaining a speech-like dominant sound.  Gemma also emphasises the importance of accessing a full falsetto range as part of a singer's skillset.  BEST MOMENTS‘I call it entering into the option area' ‘A mix is anything that's connected and still in mode one'‘I like to start with refining the engine first before adding the gas'‘As you sing, there's a different pressure quality to each note' ‘We want a larynx that's on the move' EPISODE RESOURCES Website: Pro Vocal Artist: https://www.provocalartist.com/ Social Media:  Handle: @gemmasugrue  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/gemmasugrue Relevant Links & Mentions:  Artists referenced: Sia; Jessie J; Whitney Houston; Beyonce  Singing Teachers Talk Podcast: Ep. 46 How to Develop Lasting and Positive Habits with Gemma Sugrue Singing Teachers Talk Podcast: Ep. 101 How to Belt with John Henny John Henny: https://johnhenny.com/ The work of Johan Sundberg  Voice Science Works (David Harris & Laurel Irene): https://www.voicescienceworks.org/ Kerrie Obert: https://obertvoicestudios.com/ Heidi Moss: https://www.heidimosserickson.com/ Ken Bozeman: http://www.kenbozeman.com/ Chris Johnson: https://www.chrisjohnsonvocalcoach.com/ Teach Voice: https://www.teachvoice.com/ Feldenkrais: https://feldenkrais.com/ Alexander Technique: https://alexandertechnique.com/ Andrew Byrne: https://www.andrewmbyrne.com/ Lisa Popeil: https://www.popeil.com/ 5 Things You Must Know About Belting with Lisa Popeil: YouTube.com/watch?v=eLHyVVwo2ek Ian Davidson: https://ianjdavidson.com/ Dave Stroud: https://davestroud.com/ ABOUT THE GUEST Gemma is an artist coach and the founder/director of Pro Vocal Artist, an online mentorship program for original music artists.

Brett Dennen is a songwriter, painter and summer camp enthusiast. His camp experience was instrumental in developing his musicality. He attended Camp Jack Hazard in the Sierra Nevada Mountains where young Brett was enamored with the music his camp counselors would play on guitar around the campfire. He was introduced to Paul Simon, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and John Denver thanks to his counselors and his parents. He really developed as a songwriter in college at UC Santa Cruz. After school, he wove himself into the LA songwriter scene, which in the early 2000's was a haven for musicians like himself, Alexi Murdoch, Damien Rice and Josh Ritter. He developed a large fanbase that remains loyal to this day.Brett talks about running his own summer camp, Camp Dennen, which allows him to create community through nature and art. He shares his experience of writing and thinking about being a dad and how that relates to the reality of fatherhood. And he talks about decidedly not being in the cool crowd and also not caring about it… well not caring about it as much as he used to. Brett's written some of my favorite songs of the 21st century.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Dida Pelled over Zoom video. Brooklyn-based, Native Tel-Avivian, Dida Pelled, is widely regarded as the greatest jazz guitarist this side of the Mississippi. Pelled's ambitions took shape as a child, when, entranced by bebop, she sequestered herself from the world and resolved to master guitar, later earning a spot in the Israeli Army band before training at the New School on a scholarship to study jazz.She quickly made a name for herself in the New York jazz scene, recording with Jazz masters like Roy Hargrove and Gregory Hutchinson and touring the world. As her jazz star rose, Pelled felt a pull toward classic American songwriting, shifting her direction and redefining her voice.Love Of The Tiger, Pelled's upcoming album, is the product of a jazz prodigy gone rogue. The record was recorded both in isolation at her home and at Eli Crews' studio in upstate NY, alongside engineer Phil Weinrobe (Adrianne Lanker, Damien Rice), Guy Paz on drums and Andrew Forman on additional guitar. Love Of The Tiger is a love letter to the obscure, weaving across genres, twisting and turning with Pelled's ever-expanding range of musical abilities and interests.We want to hear from you!

Before coming to The Century Foundation, he was a reporter for the New York Times for thirty-one years, spending his last nineteen years there as its labor and workplace reporter, before retiring from the paper in December 2014. He is the author of Beaten Down, Worked Up: The Past, Present, and Future of American Labor, published by Alfred A. Knopf in 2019. As the New York Times' labor and workplace reporter from 1995 to 2014, he covered myriad topics, including conditions for the nation's farm workers, the Fight for $15, Walmart's locking in workers at night, the New York City transit strike, factory disasters in Bangladesh, and Scott Walker's push to cripple public employee unions. Greenhouse joined the New York Times in September 1983 as a business reporter, covering steel and other basic industries. He then spent two-and-a-half years as the newspaper's Midwestern business correspondent based in Chicago. In 1987, he moved to Paris, where he served as the New York Times' European economics correspondent, covering everything from Western Europe's economy to the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. After five years in Paris, he served as a New York Times correspondent in Washington for four years, covering economics and the Federal Reserve and then the U.S. Department of State and foreign affairs. Greenhouse's most recent book, Beaten Down, Worked Up, looks at key historic episodes that built the nation's labor unions and shows how unions and worker power helped build the world's largest, richest middle class as well as a fairer, more democratic America. The book explains how the decline of worker power in recent decades has hurt workers and the nation, fueling income inequality and weakening the voice of workers in politics and policymaking.  The book also examines the future of the labor movement, looking at new forms of worker power, such as the Fight for $15, the #RedforEd teachers' strikes, and some innovative efforts to lift Uber drivers and other gig workers. A native of Massapequa, New York, Greenhouse is a graduate of Wesleyan University (1973), the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism (1975), and NYU Law School, from which he graduated as class valedictorian in 1982. His first book, The Big Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Worker, was published in April 2008 by Knopf. It won the 2009 Sidney Hillman Book Prize for a non-fiction book that advances social justice. Greenhouse has also been honored with the Society of Professional Journalists Deadline Club award, a New York Press Club award, and a Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Reporting. He continues to freelance for, among others, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the New Yorker, the Guardian, the Atlantic, the American Prospect, the Columbia Journalism Review, AARP Magazine, and Nieman Reports.   1:05 Dr. Omékongo Dibinga is the UPstander.
