Dropping in to tell you where we've been and wrapping up the year.
Merry xmas everyone and lets have a mega '21
Stay safe and socially distant-ish
Dan and G
So here's what ya get all the way in person. Ok so gone are the pointless crappy episodes me and Danny did over zoom. A little catch up and chat about pulling our finger out and moving things forward at a gentle, massaging pace.
stay safe, stay alert, control the TV
We have a very casual chat about what it takes to make a few pennies in the music business through streaming services. How the old model of getting a record deal has radically changed from as little 10 years ago and why giving your music away might be the better option for monetizing your musical talents.
'Book them and they will come'
In this episode we chat about the plan for next few episodes based around a theme of creating the illusion of success. this could be in business , music or sport.
How some folk fake it 'til they make it and how renting a lambo and vlogging from a beach, having CEO on your profile can make you look insta rich.
We recently watched the ace documentary 'The Contrepreneur ' by Mike Winnet from the 'Not another dickhead with a podcast' its well worth a watch. We mention it here briefly but will deep dive further into this subject in the next couple of episodes but it's our top recommendation.

In this episode we have a look at online censorship surrounding fake news, spreading of mis-information of COVID 19 and ultimately how this will get you deplatformed. If you go against the grain you become a pain.
We make a comparison, nothing academic mind, it is us! to George Orwell's 1984. As the tentacles of big brother slowly slide down your pie whole make sure there's room for pudding.
Choke on 'em
All things discussed used under fair use.
In this episode we're joined by two Hull leg -ends. You could call Mark the Godfather of the Hull music scene. He is the founder and organizer of the ever popular Humber street Sesh festival and the jam packed weekly live music night ' the sesh' at the Polar bear. Mark talks about some of the problems facing the live music industry in these strange times and his thoughts on how promoters and artists can adapt. We're then joined a bit later by lead singer of the Paddingtons, Tom Atkin. Tom talks about life in lock down and his new musical output that's currently getting mixed along with a new podcast '22 grand pod' racking up some great guests.
Enjoy
In this episode were joined by Micheal Featherstone AKA Fegz. He is here to help disregard any rational thought with some UFO tings and just to balance things out, the voice of reason......Darren Glover. Fegz 's music exploits go way back in the city and has been in many of Hull's best bands from the Vels to L.A Bound , Bullets for teeth and is currently a long time Fire (TUF) member. We're Joined a bit later by Darren Glover. Darren is a stylist with his salon Esquire in Hull and in this episode the voice of reason, AKA Scully. In this podcast Darren takes no prisoners and needs a bit more convincing than the rest of us to rock foil hat. We had a good zoom meet up and it was a lot of fun.

Tin foil hats at the ready!
We discuss life in isolation whilst meeting up via zoom and wonder how this the Corona-coaster will end.
Peace out
Well obviously we had to address the elephant in the room, a little thing called Coronavirus. We also get treated to an acoustic track from Danny called Mexico at the end. We recorded this straight to tape so you get a bit of hiss but it's nice.
Stay safe and all and we'll be back in a few weeks.

We get chance to sit down with MC/producer Leroy Savage AKA MC Shadez. We have a chat about the history of grime in Hull. His start with Northern Donz to his now 'Only deal in filth' project. We also learn the art of a send and how to be a man about it. Really enjoyed it and he's a true gent treating us to a few spontaneous bars.
enjoy

This one cuts short from a technical issue. Laptop couldn't handle the tax returns and recording. We squeeze out some topical cream from Meghxit to www3 to a very failed attempt of a face off between Siri ans Alexa.

Gary do -little admits he dislikes small dogs but saved a mouse from a cheap trap so that makes it ok. We discuss Hull fair and how life has evolved on Earth and why we wouldnt export humans to mars and whats next for the Human race.
We are joined by our good friend Alfie Steel who is the front man of garage punk rockers 'Fire the unstoppable force' . Alfie also is the founder and owner of the Chinese laundry vintage clothing boutiqe. We vagley touch upon his music but chat rubbish about going to the cinema on your own. 80's action films, mainly Stallone and a bit of a general catch up. Eventually Alfie has to leave to see a man a bout a dog, life insurance? but on the way out he see's the complimentary biscuits. We enjoyed the catch up and Danny and Alfie go way back to their early band days together. enjoy :)
A load of nonsense but a lot of fun. Danny talks about his trip to hot yoga, we touch on a few conspiracy theories talk about some topical stuff and generally how we navigate ourselves through life. Enjoy
