Episode 9.5 - The Void Between Real Episodes
Yes, it’s been a while since we’ve released an episode, but we’ve got lots of excuses! Just listen to the variety and voracity of our excuses. Jonathan had this one excuse that was so avoidant that it brought tears to my eyes, and I daresay I’ve had a number of truly stunning excuses in the past few weeks, excuses that would make certain politicians blush and excuse themselves.

This is a filler episode, just so you don’t forget about your friends Mr. Haircut. John and Jon discuss a few new projects we’re working on and we bring you, once again, Tidal Motion for your listening pleasure. Check it out for free on the podcast, or download it from your favorite music-listening service.

Matt Sickels, aka The Hard Part, is our guest this week. We feature the second half of our conversation with him (check episode 3.x for the first part of the Hard Part) and Extra Special event today is the release of our new tune, Tidal Motion at the end of the podcast! We talk and jam in the studio with Matt for a while, about topics ranging from our cover bands to penguins to sex. Sometimes all three.

Episode 3.x – The Hard Part
On today’s episode we have the fabulous Matt Sickles, aka. the Hard Part. He’s used to go with a faux hawk, but has recently shifted to a hard part to minimize setup time, and he usually plays the hard part on guitar with his many bands. Including, as we have recorded here, Mr. Haircut. We got some pretty nasty improvisations this episode, and some deep, inspiring, thought provoking, raucous conversation. I wrote out a script for Matt to follow, but once again, forgot it at home… so this episode is improvised. I think my squirrel already chewed on my script for next week, so we might have to improv that one too. You are in for a treat– biscuits, grandma guitars, speed picking, and cross sticking all make an appearance in this week’s Mr. Haircut.

Here is a video of our first improvisation of the morning; I think we titled this one ‘Out of Time,’ a reference to the license plate on the car in Back to the Future.
Throughout this episode, I used a live recording of our band Hifi-Wifi playing John Coltrane’s Giant Steps at a live show in Winston-Salem, NC. This is Jonathan and I on bass and drums with Daniel Seriff on guitar.
