You're making plans add Saturday morning to your plans to come and hang out with us. Sounds good to me. All right. You want to jump into some concert reviews? I guess we should. You went to see a favorite last week. Speaking of alcohol fame, speaking of Danny Harrison, there you go. He didn't join on this tour, but he has on previous tours. Right. I went to see yellow, the over and out tour. And as I sit here, I'm about to give you the review. And I'm wondering, do people still think about yellow? They're like a 70s band. I feel like I saw a lot of people talking about these shows. Well, every show on the entire tour is sold out. So yeah, people are talking and they deliver. Look, it's he's the only guy left, the only original founder. But I say this with love, the tape still sound great. The band sounds it's it's not a taped show. People were coming at me online about that. It's not that the show is not on tape. They're not, you know, lip syncing. This was a scandal 50 years ago. Right. They still haven't fully shook. I have to say, I haven't heard as much about it as we used to like God relax. They're playing their instruments. He's singing. And that was the other thing. Jeff Linda's not have the best voice ever, but he's got his voice. You know that you you've heard that on his songs. He still sounds like that. The whole concert just felt great. Even if there were songs that you didn't recognize, maybe it took 10 seconds to get into it. But song after song after song, obviously, the hit singles, the stuff from Xanadu, all great. But you start to realize how much that band in particular has contributed how many great songs, how many soundtrack pieces they've done, and leading into the show. You know how they always play music? Well, everybody's waiting for the band to come on. All of it was stuff that Jeff Lynn had either co-wrote, co-produced, wrote on his own, produced on his it was, you know, it was Tom Petty, and it was the Wilburys, and it was all of that leading up to ELO coming out on stage. You know, there wasn't flashpots. There was great lights. They had the big spaceship and some video, you know, right in the center of the giant thing at the back of the stage. But this tour did everything that they should do. They hit all the right notes. They played the great songs. Jeff Lynn, as my people say, not from the talkers. Never has been an effusive stage presence. He said, thank you very much. So great to see you after every song. And then he entered. And I'm sorry, I'm blanking on his music director's name, who he introduces. So he will introduce the band. Now, admittedly, there's like 13 people in the band. And I wouldn't have to want to remember everybody's name. But that guy handled it beautifully. And, you know, that we continued to hear from Jeff, thank you. Thank you very much. And that was it. But a phenomenal show. And it's as good as they could possibly be heading out going out. They did it, loved it. I didn't make this show, but I saw the last two times around. Yeah, which were great, which we're great. I'm sure it's essentially the same show. It's not like there's been big new music in between. But yeah, I think that somewhere in their in awareness kicked in of the body of work that he'll all put together. For sure. And even I accepted Xanadu. Sure. I refuse. Don't refuse, Xanadu. So it was really a wonderful night. I'm glad I have always been a massive, massive fan of the band. And even though my wife, who was more the 80s kid than I am, believe it or not, she was shocked at how many songs she knew and loved. You know, I think of them as a 70s band, but they had a lot of songs that people loved in the 80s. And that, you know, it wasn't all people who were bald or graying at the show. There was a lot of younger people there. So really, really a great night, a great night. All right. Let me quickly mention that I saw a screening of a film that's coming out in a couple of weeks, but it premiered at the Toronto festival. So it's fair game to talk about. And that is the new documentary, piece by piece, about Feral Williams. And I don't know if you know anything about this film. Not one thing. On the one hand, it's a pretty straight ahead documentary career retrospective, you know, the story of Feral. On the other hand, everything in the movie is rendered in Legos. Wait, what? Everybody who appears every scene that is described, the entire film is made using Legos. Oh, so many questions. So on the one hand, pretty damn impressive to pull this off. I mean, just to execute this Morgan Neville, director, the Oscar winning director, who did 20 feet from stardom, but did the Mr. Rogers documentary and, you know, he's done a whole lot of stuff. So I guess Feral was like, I want to do it, but I don't want to, I'm going to do something different. And he talks a little bit about his, you know, his synesthesia. He has the seeing sounds as colors. So some of it, I think, is to lean into that was probably a little easier to wrangle getting other celebs to participate because they didn't have to worry about hair and makeup shooting them. So kind of everybody's in it. Jay Z and Gwen and Kendrick in Legos, all as Legos, their voices as Legos. I'm dumbfounded. What? So what was, what was your, like, at the end of the mood? How long is it? Like 90 minutes? Yeah, yeah. Like a regular thing. I mean, on the one hand, at a certain, at certain points, you sort of forget that that's what you're looking at. I mean, after you're an hour in, you're just kind of watching. And that's what it is. It gets you around, you know, I've talked about always a pet peeve for me in documentaries is you get to scenes that you don't have footage for. So the thing was you'll, you'll make it up with animation, which was like cool twice. And then was like, yeah, that's just gotten lazy. Well, this gets over that because the whole thing is that. So when it's Pharrell as a kid or when it's Pharrell starting out or in the studio, whoever it is, you can recreate all of it because it's all just the Legos anyway. In the end, it plays as just, you know, in some ways, you want it to be a little weirder than it is because it's almost like once you do that, then it's just sort of a regular and there's no reference at all to the fact I met, I'm a Lego person right now playing this guitar singing. Well, now we know exactly what's in that giant hat of his. It's Legos. It's Lego. So it's a Lego game. So it's kind of fun. Does it detract from he's he's a spectacular producer songwriter musician? Does it detract? No, I don't think it detracts. And when you hit the phase where the Neptune's were just everything everywhere. And it's just one song after another. And it's whatever it is, it's it's dropping like it's hot. It's the Jay Z song. It's slave for you. It's like when they're just coming, you forget how dominant those guys were and that their sound and that thing was. It's kind of jaw dropping when they're just going one to the next. And you remember all these hits. But like I said, it's almost that it's such a weird treatment. You'd like it to be a bit weirder as a movie. Like once you've opened up that door, then yeah, now here's a quote from a Lego Justin Timberlake, like, okay, you know, fine. As much of a fan as I am a Pharrell. Now I really can't wait to see this. So yeah, it opens I believe October 11th in a couple of weeks, but it showed at the Toronto festival. And do you know what what the response was at the festival? I mean, festival response is what it is. It's gotten generally, you know, favorable reviews and response. You know, but this is what it is. What you're going to talk about are the is the is the Lego, right? Effect. Are the Lego effects like legit like Lego movie quality? Or is it more stop motion kind of a little more? No, they look great. I mean, you know, and there's and there's crazy like he's, you know, he's standing at the edge of the he's in Virginia Beach. He's standing on the beach and like the tides coming in and out. But it's, you know, the blue legos coming in and out over the ocean is Legos to everything, everything, everything that you see. I so when when is this going to be out or string October weeks October 11, I believe, is it going to be streaming? Or are they looking for distribution? I think it's no, I think it's going to theaters. I think it's sold. I don't think it's but I don't know what the plans are after that. Maybe somebody does. Holy cow. All right. There you go. Another first for Pharrell. That's what it's all about, right? Not going to do it the way everybody else does it. Kind of bizarre. Okay. Can't wait. All right. Let's so we should jump into some music news stick around. By the way, you know that Danny Harrison is going to be joining us in a little bit. So if you tuned in for that, we're going to get to that. But we do have the latest in music news and the biggest ongoing story right now. Sean Diddy Combs. He is in jail denied bail and supposedly on suicide watch. I've heard varying sort of takes on that, but he was denied bail. The judge was nervous that if they let him out, that he would be intimidating witnesses and messing with the jury pool and he was denied. And his trial is a ways off. And he's in jail jail is in jail jail. Yeah. I read a couple of things. One was that it was because he's in solitary that he is sort of a standard procedure to put a prisoner right in that situation on suicide watch, whether he actually is suicidal or not. I'm not quite sure. Although the things that the charges that are facing him are stunning. And we've seen charges like this before our Kelly. And I think it's not looking great for well, as we know, when you go through this sort of grand, you know, that this sort of grand jury process, whatever the numbers are, they're 97% conviction rate or something like that. I mean, they they don't go through these kind of charges through this kind of process, you know, to take a shot. Like if you're if they're doing this, it's a pretty certain, you know, what they're going to deliver. So it certainly doesn't look good. You know, more and more stuff continues to emerge. And yeah, I don't know the suicide watch thing. I'm not sure. As you said, what I've seen is it's sort of standard practice, right more so than anything specific to him in this case. But it's this is very bad. Yeah. There's so many rumors now going around about other celebrities that are going to be named in connection with this thing. Major, major, major celebrities who would not want to be anywhere near that headline just to note something we've talked about before a headline in the New York Times today, Sean Combs arrest has the music world asking is army to hear which Mark you've been saying, when is it coming to music? Yep, it's just been a long time coming. How far this expands and extends will be, you know, fascinating to watch for others who are directly implicated within this situation and these, this scenario. Yeah. And then beyond that, if it opens up the door to other victims pursuing other action once, you know, they see if they feel justice can be delivered. As this plays out. My understanding also is that they're saying this is just the first arrest. It's not over. There are other people who will be subpoenaed certainly, but are potentially going to be taken in, taken into custody, as this case progresses. It's the lot of fallout in the music industry. And, you know, let's take a step back. A MeToo movement in that industry will involve almost every male in the industry. It's that far reaching for me. I mean, yeah, how how perfect not to the level of sex trafficking charges? Of course. Not to the scale of what this case is looking at. But yeah, if it's, you know, if there is a sense that this takes things to a different place within the way that we think about harassment in general within the music business, that becomes a bottomless pit. And the fact that that part of the the charge is racketeering, that's the kind of a blanket charge, you know, it's that got Arkelion on that. And, you know, that's originally designed to catch mafia figures. But now lately it's being used in the entertainment industry. This shift in the way that these charges are being brought in the way that these, you know, legal strategies are being built. It's it's a big swing. But also would not. We know from precedent would not have gone this far if there was not a belief that this was really something that they can get a very serious look. Very, very intense. What else? NYC hip hop legend and rock and roll Hall of Famer Jay Z ready to write a check with the news whenever it was that they are opening up New York City to the possibility of putting casinos into Manhattan. Oh my God. Jay Z and rock nation have been vocal and active in terms of trying to win one of these licenses. And Jay has has sweetened the pot a bit announcing that he would commit more than $250 million in grant money for the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood. If they land the bid to create a Caesar's Palace Times Square casino, Jay's group would give an initial $15 million to the local community plus regular grants based on 0.5% of the casino's performance. The Caesar's Palace Times Square team has already met with residents of Manhattan Plaza, the affordable housing development for artists as documented in Alicia Keys Hell's Kitchen musical to tell them what could be in it for them. Jay said in a statement, we are New Yorkers supporting and providing opportunities for our neighborhoods and community isn't just part of rock nation's ethos. It is our collective responsibility. Our vision is to give back to New York and ensure that the Broadway Community Hell's Kitchen and the surrounding businesses and areas all benefit, not just for a minute, but for the long term. He's this is a Jay Z and rock nation teaming with Caesar's entertainment and SL green. Other players looking to land this casino, these casino agreements around New York City include Sax Fifth Avenue, Mohiganson, wind resorts, regaining with gaming and entertainment, resorts world casino and more all with their bids. What do you think? It makes me nervous. Jay Z, I trust Jay Z. Jay Z, I think he's got a good heart. He's got the money to back up his good heart. And in terms of what he's saying about community, I believe him. I don't I don't think he's he's bullshitting just to get this done. But have you seen what happened to Atlantic City? Well, Atlantic City was coming from coming from nothing. I mean, coming from right down to the ground. It was a it was a you know, a lifeline to open up a supposed lifeline. Well, it did not work out to be a lifeline. And that's what I mean. Look, Hell's Kitchen. Okay, it's you know, it's sort of notorious. It's not, you know, like the South Bronx or something. It's not that rundown. It's it's Midtown Manhattan. And what will that mean to the community? When a casino arrives in that marketplace? I mean, does it because does it really shift the neighborhood dynamic that already is what Times Square has become? And the sort of, you know, right? Clean up and identification of Times Square and in the midst of the Broadway district? Or is it just? Hey, it's another thing that people are going to go spend money at another tourist thing. Traffic traffic traffic traffic traffic. This is insane. I think I think yeah, in terms of as if it wasn't already insane enough in that, you know, eight or 10 block area from Times Square out going East and West. You're right, Roger, this this is going to be impossible for for them to mitigate in terms of the added influx. It's already crazy there. I understand the Disney vacation of Broadway, but they and they tried to do the family family of vacation of Vegas. I don't really think that that worked out. I don't know. I mean, I don't know enough about Vegas, but I think it's significant the, you know, that the population continues to grow that things like pro sports teams are moving to Vegas, which the question there was, is it such a transient tourist population that you can't do something like that? But those have right, you know, succeeded and dug in. I don't know. I don't know that this is about a family. This casino I think is more about particularly at a time when Broadway is suffering from having gotten so expensive and the world having changed post lockdown and our tourists still going to come into the city. You know, it seems to me much more about an attempt to continue to maintain the tourist dollars coming into that neighborhood will go to a Broadway show and then we'll go out and play some blackjack. Right. Right. So well, that kind of this kind of thing, it takes a while to and even after if it gets approved. Oh, and this has been going for a while. And this is this is he's raised the raised the stakes of what his bid looks like or announced more. This is already a thing that's been going for a while. But like you said, Mark, I do trust in Jay Z's, you know, kind of concept being trying to not only, you know, build up business but doing something for the community. Maybe they should open it in the Bronx. Well, that's a whole other. I mean, it's an interesting thing, but a whole other to make it a its own destination is a very different play than what this is. Again, the reason I even mentioned Atlantic City because it was all of the same carrot being dangled that, you know, the neighborhood will be improved and look at this percentage of the profits of the casinos will go back to the city. Somehow, it just it doesn't always work out that way. But again, Jay Z if Jay Z is in it, if anybody can make it happen, that dude can't. So one more thing. One more thing. And I, I don't know how Jeremy fans are going to wind up feeling about this. I guess our nail pinata is wondering as well, he has been criticized online for his performance during this most recent journey set of dates out with Def Leppard. He did this appearance at Rock and Rio and got some blowback. I know that I got several emails from from people listening to me on Sirius XM talking about journey and about Arnelle and his difficulties. Not everybody said that. But now what Arnelle is saying is that he will quit the band if enough fans vote go on his Facebook page. That's an odd gutsy move. I know, you know, considering, you know, the internet just breeds trolls. Why would you put yourself out there like that? On the other hand, pretty amazing that the guy who Neil Sean found online when he was just barely out of being a teenager is now considering leaving the band because his voice is going as age encroaches. Can you believe that? I don't find this surprising for a couple reasons. One is, you know, Arnelle was hired to be a sound alike to Steve Perry. And now, due to age or whatever, or constantly touring, his voice doesn't exactly hold up the way it once did. So he's probably not only getting blowback from the fans, but I would bet from the band, meaning you're not holding your way. Well, the band is in disarray. That can't be a comfortable situation for him all around. Yeah. As I just as somebody who is not a journey fan, like what? This just seems con endless, endless. What do you mean? They're touring? You mean they won't go away? No, the fight. I mean, everybody that fighting the lawsuits, the again, they settle then there's more than there's still it's this guy. But like who do fans? I mean, I guess they have the patience for it. Absolutely. I mean, the tour sold out. And it was, you know, it wasn't even an issue. People love that band. Admittedly, a great double bill those guys have gone out together before. But once again, journey is a jukebox band. People are going out to hear the music. I don't think they're who is on that stage. So if the people are on that stage, aren't performing up to par, it is a big problem for a band who runs that way. Yeah, we can't really gauge and I haven't been able to from the people that I've been hearing from, we can't really gauge what effect having Jonathan Kane on one side of the stage and Neil Sean on the other side of the stage, not even looking at each other or interacting in any way, what kind of vibe that puts on the rest of the band, the show. And I've been thinking about this since the whole Jane's addiction fiasco that what the people who suffer in this situation is the crew. They need the work the crew. Well, or as we know, I mean, the ones who took the hit on the on the Jane's thing were love and rockets. Exactly. That's what I've been saying. They really wanted that tour and they are bummed. And they're and their crew as well. The crew and the sure. No, it extends, you know, it goes much deeper out further out than the guys who are on the stage. Of course, it does. But God, it's it's exhausting. Again, for a band I don't really care about what all you hear about is they hate each other. They're suing each other. That guy like that's all you get. Like, I don't don't need any of this. I don't know, I see a great fight night lining up here. We have Neil Sean and John Kane, we can get Daryl Hall and John Oates. And they're in the midst of suits against each other. Who else is doing well, Jane's addiction guys are it's not a lawsuit, but it's not a lawsuit. Yeah, but they're they're slugging it out. So yeah, maybe with like a cage match. Maybe maybe the Oasis brothers should offer up like therapy sessions or you know, like some sort of counseling didn't leave what Liam posted something like what's come on, guys, look at us. Exactly. I think he did that about Jane's addiction. Yes. By the way, according to celebrity net worth, Arnelle Panetta is worth 20 million. So if he if he does leave, he's not he'll be fine. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. That's impressive for a hired hand. Yes. But a hired hand who's been in this band now, what two decades longer than Steve Perry. Yeah, wild. And I don't you know, journey as an entity can continue. And I can imagine Neil Sean just casting somebody and finding somebody else on YouTube jumping on the internet and finding somebody else. You know, this would be a great way to remember that your rock star in excess where they went. And yes, this would be a lot of fun to do, you know, do the competition. What you mean based on the success of that? No, I mean, but it's an interesting band to go and look for. But first of all, I mean, let's hope Arnelle's voice recovers and he stays and everything's great. But if they were gonna look for a singer, it would be interesting if they could go out there and try and find someone publicly like that. Yeah, they should audition at concerts. Have a booth. Just bring people like a different singer each night. Just you come up and sing. So yes, we'll certainly keep our eye on this one. I would have advised Arnelle to not take the move that he has taken because if it works out and people say go, does he really want to go? It's really gonna leave based on what's something that's what people say on Facebook. Dangerous game. Dangerous game. So but fingers crossed for the band. I don't like to see anybody throwing lawsuits back and forth at each other. And they got a hell of a catalog. And I would hate to see these guys disappear. I'll just leave it at that. There's a fast look at some music news. And we mentioned at the top of the show, Danny Harrison is going to be joining us in just a moment. He has a brand new, I won't even say it's just an album. The album has been out now. There's a film project behind it. And and quite a bit more, we will be talking with Danny Harrison next on Sound Up.

Elos profiras con man te quijarimien en cuentre nos en el facidio de de sajuna con hellados. Lego, with ego. All right. Welcome back to sound up as promised. If you joined us at the top, you know, we have a very special guest who has a brand new project out. Danny Harrison is going to be joining us, Alan. Yes, brand new project. Among several others, Danny Harrison has been making music for a long time with a lot of different people. He's recorded and performed with his bands the new number two and Fistful of Mercy, collaborated with a wide range of artists from the Wu-Tang Clan to Pearl Jam and an extensive and award winning work scoring for film and television. Earlier this year, Harrison released the album Dreamers in the Field, a collaboration with two of the throughout singing group Hoon Hoon Hoon, and this week comes Inner Soundstage, a live concert film performance of his recent second solo album, Inner Standing. The film will be available September 27th to 30th, with a limited premiere on YouTube, followed by video on demand services as of October 1st. Danny Harrison, thank you for interrupting your rehearsal. Sound up. Yes. Thanks for having me. Welcome. So, as just mentioned there, you've done lots and lots of work with lots of people. This album, Inner Standing, that you've got this concert film for, only your second solo project, is that, do you just, are you drawn to the collaboration? That's the opportunity that presents itself? Well, I think that, I think that, you know, it's funny because doing the solo albums, there was just as kind of as much as collaboration during those as there was when I was in a band, and it's funny because, you know, the first album in parallel had, uh, Kami Gray, uh, John Bates, Big Black Delta, Marie Key, Steven Perkins from James Addiction. There was lots of people, um, David Erossey, who's in Coldplay and was in Goldfrap. So, there's a lot of different people that have been on, and a lot of those guys and girls came back on this record, but this definitely was more of an English approach to that. And I was fortunate enough to be, um, able to do some work with Graham Coxon from Blur. It was one of my favorite artists, um, and his, you know, obviously one of my favorite guitar players. Um, we even got him playing saxophone on this record, which was, you know, I guess I was the idiot that didn't know he was also an incredible saxophone player, but that's, uh, that was beside the point. And yeah, so then, you know, this album was a solo album. The one we did earlier in the year was a collaboration between one of my favorite, my favorite of all time. World music, uh, bands, Hunhurtu. And if you haven't checked them out, you should really get, get on their train because that's some incredible music. And, you know, that was made possible again through a collaboration from a dear old friend, Carmen Rizzo. So yeah, it's, I love making music with people. At some point, I may go back to having a band again, but I think that there's probably three Danny Harrison records in me. So there'll be probably one more. And then I'll be into some other different bands, you know, just to change things up a bit. You've talked about the idea that this, the album, aside from the film project here, but the album, you wrote during COVID and we, we've had conversations over the years with so many musicians who have each has their own sort of story about what COVID did to them. What was it about that isolation that inspired this record? And what was it about the project that made you want to do this film about it to play it live? To answer your questions in reverse. We did a film for the first album in parallel. And we did in parallel live, which was done at Henson Studios. And that was a really fun thing to do after the big tour. Before Christmas, we managed to get in there. We all finished touring just before Christmas and we managed to all get into a room and shoot the whole thing in the round. And it was immensely rewarding. And I think that it's kind of like a historical document because you can then that album went, got put to rest. And then, you know, what's left is the is the live concert in surround. And then with this album, because obviously it was written during mostly during lockdowns and just finished as we were coming out, the record had a totally different feel, even though they work together, it had a different feel. I made it in England. So when when it was time, and I'd mostly made it alone, you know, or here and there collaborating with people who who were hiding, you know, in the studio with me, when we were we only did one show last year to launch it in London, and we've yet to play America with it. So I thought the first thing we should do rather than the last thing we did, we did it backwards this time. So we did the live show first. And now we're playing the live shows. So it was really good. It was a good way of actually building the record for stage. Obviously, a lot of these, you know, my records are mostly studio records. And I'm a, I approach it kind of like a soundtrack. So my favorite thing is to do whatever it is, it's if it's a film score, if it's an album to perform it from start to finish, film it, get a full like this one we're doing in Dolby Atmos. And we've got a premiere this week at the Dolby we've got a little screening at Dolby in London. So yeah, it's just again, it's the historical document of the record. So this one is a lot more aggressive, I think, than when you watch the two back to back, this one is definitely punches a lot harder. As you noted, this is done. It's a live performance, but it's done on a sound stage. It's not I mean, we're so used to a live film, meaning you keep cutting to the audience and they're screaming and stomp, you know, what is that to do it live to do it as a performance film, but to do it not with an audience in a studio, you do a lot of shooting that takes you into the control room that shows different camera angles. It's a different it's not a this is certainly not a conventional sort of concert film. No, and you know, I always I was a huge fan of how I'm not I didn't need to document the crowd's reaction. It's it's quite a, you know, it's like a soundscape. It's it's an interesting journey. I think I find it much more interesting if you see what the musicians are going through, rather than, you know, and and like something that we've done in both of these films is that we leave in the talk between the songs. You know, everything is edited for for such short attention spans these days. And you know, everything has to be so flashy, but it kind of it's funny because it humanizes everyone. And you see people tuning up and you see people talking and smiling and and celebrating little bits and little moments. And it it feels a lot more intimate than having a crowd there, because it's like you're you're sneaking into a rehearsal almost. And the concert for me that was the one or when I was saying to my friends what I wanted to what I wanted it to feel like was not exactly the same obviously. But the one show that really well that the video that really kind of inspired it was Portishead playing machine gun in Berlin, you know, and it's like an art film. So it keeps cutting away to the corridors. And it keeps cutting away to the sound from the corridors, you know, so it's like it has that short movie kind of film. But that was just one song. And you know, I love having CCTV and all of these things that we're used to being on the other side of as a part of the film too. I'm really happy with it because our director Joel also just he just won an Emmy for the documentary for Shogun the other night. He had a really great success the other night. And so that helps everyone. It's really nice to see he's doing so well, because he's a great director. I wonder I mentioned the idea of you writing this album during COVID. I'm not to dwell on that. But it was such a crazy thing for for the world to go through. And and for artists and especially for musicians, you know, the you commented on the fact that there was no touring. You know, everybody was stuck everybody was doing things that they had never had to do before creating pods. So you were saying people are hiding in the studio. The music was the music industry was what was attacked first really, because you know, it was funny because people were talking about like losing their jobs and you know, certain mandates and this that and the other and people having to make difficult decisions. It was funny because the in the in the music industry, we didn't have those decisions. Because the first thing that went was touring, right? And it didn't come back for so, so long. I mean, I was booked on a tour with Jeff Lynn and ELO. And that tour is only just happening now. So the show last week, we just saw the show last week. OK, so unfortunately, I'm not on that, but because I'm touring in Europe at the moment. But you know, that that tour that was the tour that was 2020 is only happening now. And so 2024, that's a long time to wait around. So there was, you know, it was it was more like it felt like music kind of went underground again, which was really good. And also, to have any opinion about anything was to be attacked during that time. So it was like everything went underground again, you know, and and I really dug that feel because and I was in London, which felt very appropriate place to have a new because I grew up in the 90s when there was rave scene in England and everything was underground and electronic music and you'd be running from the police and hiding in under railway bridges and having illegal raves and that was my childhood. That was the 90s and you know, the early 90s in in England. And so it kind of felt pretty, you know, apart from the sort of closing down the entire society thing, it was kind of like a almost a return to that. So I kind of approached the way I made music for the next few years that way. And I didn't care if I was on a, you know, I don't imagine I'll be on a TV show playing my next hit single, you know, and I just went back to like, well, let's go in a warehouse and make something really rude and really noisy, you know, and something that really slaps and and let's see if we can start it, you know, and then in England, there's been such great music. You know, I've had the privilege of seeing bands rise like idols. And, you know, there's things like, well, I mean, even even little acts like John Francis Flynn and, you know, just seeing music kind of so much stuff coming out of Ireland and England, and it's like seeing stuff coming back strong and underground kind of, it's hard to explain, but it's felt really like a new, this is where the energy kind of has been for the last few years. I was just curious about what what that experience of being like we all were being going through COVID going through isolation, not being able to tour, not being able to, in many cases, see your friends, how did that affect what you were writing and playing at that moment? Well, there was a ridiculous chap who was the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time who was named Rishi Sunak, who went on to become our Prime Minister, I think, for a bit. And he, I remember him saying, right, artists, it's time to retrain. There's no more money for the arts retrain. So, so that's what we did, you know, we went and retrained as wizards and gardeners and all kinds of cool things. And then we came back with all that knowledge and made music again, from a different perspective. So it was, it was good, you know, like people learned a lot of people learned a lot about themselves. I definitely spent a lot of time growing food, learning different skills, playing music, playing different kinds of music, learning about healing music, and that's what led to the Hunher 2 record and, you know, really trying to get inside the, the emotion of it. And, you know, that people are so easily manipulated when they're living in a state of fear. And when you're not living in a state of fear, when you're living in a state of love, it means that you can kind of, at the time, you know, when everyone was freaking out, I remember walking around Covent God in London, and it was just me and some security guards, you know, and, and remember looking at my, at my friends and saying, not being afraid is like a superpower right now, you know, and I guess it is in life generally, you know, if you, if you're comfortable with what's going on and you're coming from a place of love, then it's really like your eyes are really open to, to what's going on. And that was, it was a big eye opener. And it felt like the way I approached it was just, it felt really quite natural to go back to a time where there was more about community and more about love and cooperation, you know, all the farmers in my town suddenly became rock stars, you know, because they were growing the food. And the, and the bakers were getting up in the morning and giving us all this great bread. Well, suddenly, we all started appreciating them a lot more and taking, not taking for granted the things that people usually do, like, where's your food coming from? Where's your water coming from? All of that stuff. And it was really good to get back in touch with it. And and I feel a lot wiser for it because if that, or you know, when they say, not if, but when that when that they lock us down again, we'll have our own communities and we'll be very happily self sufficient. But I'm very curious, it's for something that comes out of such specific circumstance. You know, you know what it is when you are writing this album, then to when it was recorded to when it comes out now to making this film and playing it out into the world. Does your perspective shift as that goes along? Does it have sort of a time capsule feel to it or is it not open up or evolve in different manifestations? Thank you for asking that question, because I was thinking about it the other day and I watched it and I was starting to play the songs again live. And it kind of, I guess the kind of last two years galvanized everything that I believed. And really, you know, I feel quite proud to be aware of what I was aware of at the time and and I feel very fortunate that I made this music when I did and that it was also like a rush to get it out because it's like, you know, there was a certain point in 2023 where like a different horrific thing happened every week. So it's like, you've got to get it out. That's stopped. Yeah, I guess. In my mind, it did, you know, I just kind of like moved on, you know, but it was like that thing where, yeah, I see what you mean, but you know, it's that thing where it's like, let's get this out before some other fresh hell hits the news, you know what I mean? And it's like, it feels quite empowering to sing these songs now. And I stand by my, by, yeah, I don't feel like it aged well. I don't feel like it aged badly. I'm quite happy with where I'm at. So you are going to to play this live, you're going to go out and and do so. Oh, yeah, we're playing Berlin, Paris and London next month. And obviously, those will be just, you will be just kind of do tactical shows in some of our favourite cities in Europe, but alongside the live recording and the live video, which will be, which we're going to be screening this week in Dolby at Moss. It's kind of like a nice bow to tie up this sort of record cycle. And then I hope to be playing some shows with Hoon Hoon Hoon, too, when they come into town. At the moment, they're in China, Commons in China with them. So I couldn't join Jeff in in America and I couldn't join common in China, but I can join my own band around Europe. So it's a silly question, but, you know, talking about working with two or two, but also over the years, whether it's RZA, whether it's Pearl Jam, whether it's standing on stage with Prince. Well, he plays the greatest guitar solo of all time. All of these collaborations and meetings of minds and everything else. How do you process that? What do you take? What do you carry away from those experiences that that comes back into the work going forward? Wow, that's very kind of you to say all of those lovely things, not to sound, not to sound like a joke, but the greatest guitar solo of all time, in my opinion, was Jimmy Hendrix playing Villanova Junction at Woodstock. And Prince had nothing on him. But that was that one was good, too. We'll settle. We can negotiate that. But yeah, I, you know, I love collaborating. I love learning. And my dad was the same. And if, you know, if you stay open and if you've got an open heart, you can really learn some good stuff off people. So RZA was one of the most wonderful people to work with. And that whole gang, they're just, they're very, very amazing people. And they have so much knowledge that they've gathered, you know, esoteric knowledge and occult knowledge and all kinds of stuff that you don't learn in school. But you can learn if you really look, you know, from martial arts, philosophies, you know, and they're all like chess, Grandma, chess strategy. Yeah, you know, like, I mean, I wouldn't dare play them at chess. I'm checkers, not even, you know, like it's ridiculous how good they are. So, you know, and then obviously, I grew up with the Wilburys, you know, which was kind of my, and I just, I got to play again with with Eric Clapton the other month that the Albert Hall and those guys who were kind of some of them with my dad's band from Japan 91. I just love it. You know, I love being on stage with one minute, you're on stage with Ben Harper next minute, you're on stage with Nathan East, you know, with Eddie Vedder, you know, all of those guys, I always used to laugh with whenever I got to play with Pearl Jam, I'd say it was like make a wish foundation because I grew up. I grew up. I always felt like a terminally ill person who got to have their last wish, which would be to play with their favorite band. And I could never quite believe it. They'd always get me up there and let me choose what song I'd want to play with them. They're just great guys. They're like real here a bunch of heroes, those guys. I want to, I know Alan has one more thing to ask her. I just wanted to confirm for everyone that this premieres on YouTube and on video. What I'm seeing is 24 hours starting September 27th. Is that what's happening or is that changed? So yeah, I believe we've started the countdown. I haven't got my my device on me. So I can't tell you if that's correct or not. But can fact check that I believe the countdown has started. And is the ultimate golf to be in theaters or not? I mean, if if people want to pick it up, that's great. I love to get content out there, you know, and obviously we've mixed this in in Atmos. And so hopefully people will be able to see it in Atmos and really get the feel. Are you going to do the screening here? There's a great Atmos studio right in Midtown Manhattan. Oh, I'd love to, you know, I'd absolutely love to. And you know, if if Dolby want to let us do it, you know, please, Mr. Dolby, can we do it? This is a left turn, Danny. But I'm very friendly with the guy who books that he works for Atmos. Well, then let's get that room. Well, you know, we're done here. Let me know. I'll let you know. And yeah, so we're doing London on Thursday. And yeah, it's it's exciting. It's nice to be making music again, because I've been kind of I've been doing another studio project, which I can't tell you what that is just yet, because it's accurate. It doesn't have a name yet. So when it when I can work out a name, it's it's going to be it's another totally different and wonderful collaboration that I've been working on and very excited to announce that one. But not just yet. It keeps us watching. So the time you did just announce before we let you go, I've got to ask because it's the newest announcement. Just a couple of days ago is this new reissue of a material living in the material world for the 50th anniversary. What can you tell us about the plans for that project and for working on, you know, what what it is to dive in as you did with the all things most past box and, you know, really dig into your dad's catalog like this. Well, you know, we've been working on it for so long. I've been working remastering stuff for like over 20 nearly 24 years now. But the same team that worked on all things must pass. So Paul Hicks and I charge the audio. David Zonshine. And then our archive team, obviously with my mother and our team, Darren Evans and I, and I kind of oversee everything. It's a great another big dig into all of the unreleased stuff and just the packaging, the booklets, everything I the amount of love and care that we put into it. And I know that this was an important one for fans. And it's more I think it's more accessible. This one because it's it's not the huge big box set that all things was passed was. So hopefully more people will be able to get it. But I'm really, really proud of it. And, you know, we're gonna be making content for this and celebrating this. And, you know, keep keep moving forwards. I mean, they all they all were, you know, in their way, but especially these this one seen such a personal project such an important project for your dad. Do you feel like you keep learning things about him as you go, you know, weighed into this stuff? Yeah, and you know, the this album was originally done to make up the deficit for the concert for Bangladesh and to make more money, hence the title living in the material world, because they needed to raise material wealth to help the people they were trying to help in Bangladesh. So this album goes to charity. That's this this and my dad's charity, the Material World Charitable Foundation. The the pro, you know, my father's royalties from this record always has has gone to that charity. So it was a conscious record from the start. And it's got some fantastic tracks on it like, you know, be here now. And in fact, we've been, you know, talking a lot with the Ram Das Foundation and trying to, you know, see where we can do partners or partnerships, obviously, if anyone's not seen the book be here now that Ram Das did, that's also a wonderful thing to check out. And, you know, get deep in yourself. Good advice. And be here now. Yeah, exactly. So great advice. Yeah, I think that, you know, you can you can live a happier life if you can be present. And you can do more for yourself and for others. So that's it's a good message. And that's why we put lots of love into my dad's that record, you know, I went and had a good listen to it through. I got some of the new pressings which are about to come out. And I can't wait to get the vinyl the vinyls just turning up now, you know, we're we're real sticklers with our vinyl and we've got a great vinyl manufacturer and dark horse records, obviously, has been we've been doing so many releases. This last two, three years, God, I don't even know how many but from Joe Stromer to all just cat Stevens and Nina Simone and just really, you know, great stuff. So we put a lot of love into the custom vinyl. And I appreciate the people who are out there who listen to vinyl and dig it, you know, Danny Harrison, I can't thank you enough for joining us to tell us about this current project and especially the film, which is once again, being released on YouTube and video 24 hours on demand September 27th. What happens after that, I don't know. Keep watching. Keep watching. Keep watching. Watch this space. And thank you guys for having us on your show. Peace be with you. Thanks to you as well.

So we got a bunch of concert reviews this week, all written out, not as as audio files. So we will, we will deliver the reviews that came in starting with this one from Elaine in Maryland. Hi pod squad, it's Elaine from Maryland submitting a recommendation review of a documentary available on PBS called feast your ears, the story of WHFS 102.3 FM. It's about the DC areas first stereo radio station and its free form format with DJs that curated all sorts of musical genres for a loyal fan base from the 60s to the 80s. I grew up in the DC area listening to the DJs. So it was a fun nostalgia trip back to my teenage years of how I was introduced to the world beyond top 40 radio. I think folks will enjoy the way back time machine interviews with artists such as Little Feet and Bruce Springsteen would stop by WHFS to chat with the DJs, check it out if you can. I went to the original HFS festivals way back in the day, and I'll be at the revived HFS festival this weekend at Nat Stadium. Thanks and keep up the great work. Elaine from Maryland. All right, thank you, Elaine. All these radio stations are getting these documentaries by the way. Yeah, it's it surprises me too. And they're all legendary in their little niche. You know, the famous documentary on WLIR legendary Long Island radio station outside of New York. But I mean, I'm from Philly. I'm like 90 miles away. And to be honest, I didn't give much of a shit about that. Yeah, well, these are highly localized. So I guess they are. We are working on the volume documentary, but it's going to be all done with sock puppets right now. Wow. Excellent. Great idea, Roger. You know, Ferell's got Lego. Exactly. Inspired by Ferell. As we're recording today is Bruce Springsteen 75th birthday is indeed today on Monday. By the time you hear this, he will be already a 75 year old man. And we got a review. We talked last week, I think just as a news story about his performance at see here now festival, but we got a review from our man Kieran. Here's what he had to say about Bruce in Asbury. Dateline Asbury Park, New Jersey. See here now 2024. Bruce Springsteen has a devoted fan base worldwide. But in his hometown's geography, it is a hagiography witnessing a rare and unique three hour set immersed in the surroundings that helped start and inspire his life's work, transform this concert goer and brought tears of joy to the faithful who ventured in the masses down the Jersey shore for Bruce's Sunday services at see here now in Asbury Park. Bruce proceeded his own three hour set by joining Trey Anastasio on stage during Trey's three letter set J and M were likely the only letters on it. And so they did it Bruce surprising the crowd by playing kiddies back as a 10 minute dueling guitar jam that brought the crowd deliverance. Bruce then proceeded to perform a historic set unlike any he has done before with over a quarter of the songs he picked being tour debuts and many not having been played live in nearly a decade. It was Bruce for the ages and Springsteen was ageless, reeling back to his Asbury Park days and ways in liven by the crowd in the setting and knowing this nightmare so much to him that he had to deliver a performance that met the moment. He started early with some rare gems from his debut album, mixing in other songs purpose picked to mark this territory as his hometown. The stage was packed with his full band and the crowd was blessed to have his wife Patty join them on stage in her rightful place mere days after sharing the news of her health and the reason for rarely joining the band on the road these past few years. The set swelled to higher heights as she came forward and joined her husband for a duet of tougher than the rest that will go down in lore for the context of its performance. The set rose again through rarities and classics and swelled the fawning of a faithful as he performed a tour debut and tour de force performance of jungle land. Another hour of magic commenced from there. Music now has its reigning queen of three hour marathon sets, but it has had its reigning king for decades. Historic all time spring scene performance, let's leave declarations of history for the historians and the history onyx. But on Sunday, it was for the lucky thousands who gathered here now to see for themselves what happens when content and context come together in concert. So says Karen, is he a writer? I don't know, it's quite a literary take on his performance. So you mentioned by the way, I did read this morning that Bruce has already released a recording of the see here now performance, which you can get on CD, or can I guess download through the nugs.net site who do a lot of life, simulcast and whatever. But it's already available for commercial purchase. If you want to catch up with that landmark appearance, what a great era we live in. You know, come on. How great is that? That's exciting. We got one more concert review from our friend, Danielle in Connecticut, Danielle writes, this is a belated concert review. We saw Weezer on September 11th at MSG. Dinosaur Junior opened. They took the stage with no hoopla feel the pain sounded great as ever. They also did an excellent cover of the cures close to me. They rocked the house for a short, but solid 20 minutes set. Flaming lips had a lot of hoopla on stage, inflatables and lasers, etc. The crowd went crazy for don't use jelly and we had fun singing along to their cover of Madonna's borderline. Weezer had a nice message on the side screens before they came out thanking first responders and shouting out love to New York, which made seeing a concert on September 11th feel a little better. They set the stage for their mission to save the blue planet by launching a rocket on stage. The mission continued as an on screen backdrop while they played. They sounded fantastic. Say it ain't so was definitely a highlight and a crowd pleaser. But a personal highlight for me was seeing a dad and daughter about nine years old. That's the daughter I assume in the front row of me. They clearly bonded over Weezer. They sang whole verses together, played air guitar while standing back to back. He lifted her up in the air at the beginning of my name is Jonas and I got a little something in my eye. Shout out to that dad in section 104. All in all an excellent show. PS that was supposed to be a James addiction review. But we all know that didn't happen. Talk to you soon. Thank you, dad. Yeah, PS brings it all home. Oh, that's hysterical. All right, keep the concert reviews coming. Also, we got a voice message from our friend Dennis in Arizona, checking in on some of the folks that we've lost recently. Hi, guys. It's Dennis in the Arizona. I know it's been a minute, but I'd like to kind of touch on a couple of fellas that just passed away recently. I'm sure you were going to touch on at least one of them. First is JD Salter. He was, you know, very successful writer with the Eagles with on songs like Hard 8 tonight and Best of My Love and New Kid in Town. I also did one of my favorites of his was recorded by Linda Ron Stat, which was Faithless Love. And he also did the her town with James Taylor. So those were great. I know he had a couple of hits himself, but nothing was a success was what he did with the Eagles. RIP to him. And he was just a tremendous talented writer and had a wonderful voice. And I'm sure he will be missed. The other one was Sergio Mendez, a jazz great. I barely remembered, you know, him in the 60s, when he did a lot, put a lot of bossa nova beats to some standards such as Fool on the Hill and in Scarborough Fair and the look of love. When the 70s, he was still doing some bossa nova hits. But I was taking starting drum lessons. And my drum teacher was a big jazz guy. And he had me for two weeks play bossa nova with Sergio Mendez records. And it really developed the coordination between your hands and your feet between the, you know, the high head and the snare drum and the bass drum and everything. And it really developed that coordination that you had to do things separately with all your different app, you know, appendages. So I, I do remember spending a lot of time with surgery in those days. And of course, later on in the 80s, he had some really big pop hits with, you know, alibis and never going to give you up or big hits. And on the top 10. So he did come back around. And even though I do think his legacy with mass canada and the samba and the, you know, the bossa nova beat. He's he was a one of a kind. And I said, and it's sad to see him go to so but he died of complications from COVID. So anyways, just a reminder, it's still there. But thanks a lot, guys, I just wanted to make sure you remind you the maybe that these couple of guys really need some need some recognition. And as I get older, all my heroes seem to be disappearing. And these kind of guys were sneaky heroes of mine. So thank you very much. Thank you, Dan. I love the idea of learning to play the drums, learning those bossa nova beats. That is good to hear. So I know it's a minute since it's it happened. But did you have anything you you want to say on Saldar? I was all in for that sort of, you know, country rock thing that that he helped to pioneer. And the Saldar Hillman Furei band was at that moment, one of my favorite bands. And and JD, I remember being surprised and delighted when he turned up on Nashville. Yes. Who seemed like such a he's the writer who keeps to the back. Yeah, he came out as an actor. Yeah, it was perfect. And it was a great job. It's such a great job. So yeah, I mean, his contributions to the career of Linda Ron's dad, these people that Dennis mentioned, I get it. Those were some of my my favorites. Like I say, I was all in for that stuff in the in the early 70s. You know, I was was all about that Chris Hillman and Dillard and Clark. That's how hardcore I went. But the way they kept the Gwen Clark and Hillman like they kept all these incarnations. Yeah, it was great. So all right. That's going to wrap it as far as your reviews are concerned, but we can't leave here without doing our new music picks of the week. Who wants to start off? Roger, you want to do that? You got one? Sure. I have to bring this up because just we've been talking about them. This new James addiction song is so good. And it's just so frustrating that this song comes out in the midst of them having to cancel this tour. It's a you know, it's a song with the original four members of the band. But it is such a unique, spacey, atmospheric, beautiful song called true love that when you listen to it, you're like, God, guys, get it together. Do another record. Get back out there. It's such a great song. Perry sounds great. Everything about the song is good. It's very spacey. The drums are very, you know, rhythmic. It's just a really great James addiction song. And I really hope they can figure out whatever's going on. I hope Perry can figure out whatever's going on. I hope they could get back on track and continue to put out music. Because if this is an indication that there was more music like this coming, then they were on to something really good. I agree with you on that. Great song. And what timing? Yeah, don't get your hopes up in the short term. No, I'm not all communications seem to be we're not doing this for now. Right. And all of that that you said, Roger, Perry Farrell knew that going in that he was going to screw this tour and screw his band. He's got a great song out and damn it. How many people in this country would love to see that band play live? Shame. Really is. Alan, I didn't have much of a win. Not much caught my attention this week. I got to say, I don't know if it's because it's end of summer, but we're not into big fall like it felt like the not a whole lot was happening this week. So what stood out for me, not a usual sort of a pick, but a new release from the mighty iced tea and body count with their interpretation of comfortably numb featuring on guitar, David Gilmore, a crazy record, not really a cover, but it's a sample of the it's the that beat it's got the hook, but then it's ice doing his thing above that. And then Gilmore playing all over at iced tea says for me comfortably numb is an introspective song. It's me acknowledging that I'm older now. I'm telling the younger generation you've got two choices. You can keep the fire burning or you can give up. It's me trying to make sense of what's happening, but also pointing out that we're all in a place where we don't have to face reality. We got flat screen TVs and popcorn. And we can just sit back and watch the chaos of the world like it's a TV show. It doesn't feel real until it shows up at your door. I'm a little numb to we all are. And David Gilmore said body counts version of comfortably numb is quite radical, but the words really struck me. It astonishes me that a tune I wrote almost 50 years ago is back with this great new approach. They've made it relevant again. The initial contact from iced tea was from permission to use the song, but I thought I might offer to play on it as well. I like the new lyrics. They're talking about the world we're living in now, which is quite scary. So look, it's a dark droning. It's not really a hip hop song. It's more iced tea sort of doing a recitation over that comfortably numb flow. And David Gilmore playing, you know, with that tone and that, that sound. So sure, what the hell? Why not a body count Pink Floyd mashup as a pick for new music this week? Body count have a new album coming out in November. Their last album, one a Grammy, you gotta love that. After all these years, iced tea wins a metal Grammy. So new album coming out in November. Hopefully we'll, we'll bring him on here and talk to iced tea was always the greatest. And in the meantime, check out their version of comfortably numb. People should know that you have been championing those guys for a long time. Well, ice and I go a long, long, long way back. And he is the greatest. All right, just to wrap up, I got a couple. I agree with you Alan, this, you know, it's, there's not a ton coming out, but there was a couple of things that leaped out at me. The first one was, you know, I'm a huge fan of Bones UK. They put out the their album called Soft, just like 10 days ago, but they released a new single called Me, which it's one of my favorites on the record. But you know, so I'll mention that one. This is such a great album from their second album. In five years, it's taken them that long to figure out what was going to be on this this next record. But they are going to be bringing it out on tour. Their history, just in case you don't know, that's the thing that they've been doing great things and getting attention and getting live show dates. And yet, people don't really know who Bones UK are. They have been around for a while. Jeff Beck was a huge fan. Right. That was I know them from when they were doing those those songs and appearances with Beck. Yeah, yeah, he was taken by them and hired them to write his record. So that was where things began. But they are very much their own band and the stuff that they're coming up with is awesome. And it rocks if you're looking for some great rock and roll. Also, a band that I've always thought of is just a bunch of sort of stone or freaks. And maybe they are. I've never met them. Neon trees who have been around since 2011 or something like that, like a long time. So they have a new album just out this past Friday called sink your teeth. And the track, the new track is called paper cuts. And again, this sounds a bit different to me than what we've heard from the entries in the past. Tyler Glenn, who's the lead vocalist, he has said, how do I capture the energy and the feeling of anxiety, but not make it solely about a period of time in our lives, or make people only reflect on that when they listen. The songs do contain some of the anxiety and existential crisis. I was feeling at the start of the decade, but there's also a thread of hope. And that's the watch word right there, a thread of hope. So those are my two picks, neon trees and bones UK. All right, that wraps it up. Don't forget we are coming to Cleveland. We will be at the rock and roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. And we will be at the rock hall. We have the studio on that Saturday morning, the the morning of the induction ceremony for two hours 10 to 12.
