We have a fun/interesting one for you this episode guys. The sprawling and surprisingly deep lore of the classic video game series, Mega Man. It's a subject near and dear to Jbats' heart, one which a lot of people would agree needed exploring. We use that lens to explore the idea of what would happen if robots became self-aware and the ethical worries that might evoke. So get cozy, diagnostics on this new model are gonna take some time to learn how hard it is to be human... We also launch our Patreon this episode! Music in this episode by the The Megas and The Protomen.
In this episode we have the awesome pleasure of talking to Seth Nicholas Johnson, founder of Haunted Birthday Records. Seth is definitely multifaceted as he is also a podcast producer for Howstuffworks? as well as an animator.
Josh and I take this opportunity to ask Seth about his many work experiences as well as what spurred him on to create his unique record label,Haunted Birthday Records. Seth has a definite passion for fostering creativity and making such audio expressions accessible to the public, in our opinion, a very awesome way. He makes it possible to preserve your music by personally making records out of nearly anything suggested...
The website for Haunted Birthday Records describes the process best:
"At HAUNTED BIRTHDAY RECORDS, we make handmade, small-batch, lathe-embossed records the old-fashioned way? mono, lo-fi, and one at a time."
Along with Seth we explore his chosen hypothetical : What If the internet disappeared tomorrow and what would happen to music? A few scenarios emerge and the suggested solutions to keep music alive may just surprise you....
