Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 604 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Brian drops some more big hints, confuses everyone, and is a kind of chilled out entertainer

The episode opens up with complete unabashed gibberish from Brian and Blake and Richard is totally confused and somehow Adam Sandler is involved. Brian has been watching TV and it confuses everyone. Meanwhile the British king of fuzz received a package and it contained a Pedalhead which he dutifully tested with multiple pedals and tells us all about it.

After dropping the Pedalhead with its new custodian, a certain Mr. Pete Thorn, Richard got to watch him shred in the Classic Rock Show - and "that song" may or may not be involved. It also provokes some debate before Blake accuses Richard of nefarious business practices and Brian tries to bring more music to Martinsville.

Brian has been thinking about a new way to make Backing tracks - yes the automatons are involved - and it spins into an interesting debate about how music career trajectories for the masses may have changed but maybe they are equally as healthy as ever? The guys also chat about stem separation software and there is string talk! 

The Tube Butler, Meatloaf, Slippery Nipples, Snack Daddy, Baby Blue Marshalls...it’s all in this week’s Chasing Tone!
