    521. Ray Hawthorne

    Join Ray and I as we talk about “HIM”, the movie I had JUST finished minutes before we did this chat. We talk what we think the movie was getting at with its symbolism and kinda nerding out about Jordan Peele and the worlds that he’s created over his movies, and if they’re possibly a shared multiverse? From there  Ray opens up about the success of his solo career, how when we last talked it was sort of a last ditch attempt at a career in making music. The challenges of releasing a song a week for a year.  Dealing with the success of his solo material, while also learning to deal with comments that he was either an industry plant or wasn’t even a real human being but AI.  We talk about how the success of those songs allowed Ray to really dive deeper into himself to get to some of his most personal songs yet, including one that he wrote for his dad that he hasn’t shown him yet. We also dive into how hard it is for each of us to know how much of ourselves to put into our creative outlets due to backlash from strangers.  Ray talks about some big life changes happening for him, partying with Gary Busey and more in this chat.  Show Sponsors: Rockabilia (⁠www.rockabilia.com⁠) USE OUR CODE BREWTALLY AND GET 10% OFF YOUR TOTAL ORDER!!

    516. Josh Schroeder (Producer /Random Awesome Studios)

    Join Josh and I as we sit piano side in one of the spare rooms in his home studio for this chat.  Josh talks about some of the viral moments that have happened to bands he’s worked with, how aware he or the band are of what those moments could be when working on these songs.   Josh shares how he tries to not be known for a “sound” as he’s become an in demand producer for heavier music, but to foster and environment and a process that’s unique to each band and the members within, and that that’s what people can hear in the records he’s worked on. He also talks about not taking the social side of the business too seriously, as evident by his nail the mix promo video, and how he’s traversed that.  Josh also shares how a doomed trip to Japan helped foster his and his wife’s blossoming obsession with pinball machines. What he’s learned from playing and collecting machines over the last few years. We also get to learn a bit more about Josh’s marriage, how he and his wife met, and the role she even plays on the back end of the business. How they navigate balancing a work and personal life when the two are literally housed in the same building.  All this and more with the prouder extroidinaire. Also HUGE thanks to Alfonso Civille for recording the audio/video for this episode. Go check out his band, Heartsick, wherever you listen to music. Josh also produces that as well.
