Often, before The Hamlin Avenue Boyz even begin to ‘roll tape’ in the Homan Studio - Vince and Edward will essentially just bullshit-a-bit to get the conversational juices flowing. While there is usually a clearly identified starting point where the Boyz will signal the booth to ‘roll tape’; many times the tape has been running since the Boyz entered the control room headed to the recording area of the studio. All happening while there is cool music, usually selected by the engineer, playing in the distant background. BTW - That very music playing in the background can at times influence what conversational direction the Boyz sometimes choose to take. It may also sometimes show up as the soundtrack backdrop or bed for the segment. This bullshit-a-bit period has produced so many moments over the years that the entire Hamlin Avenue Boyz Podcast Team are all usually glad they got it captured. All of the tracks that comprise “Inside My Head”, the 16th album of podcast segments produced by The Hamlin Avenue Boyz, were all born from bullshit-a-bit beginnings. Every one of them. These are definitely something to sprinkle in with your next beautiful 'tug on da glass chalice' or self-assembled Doobie ceremony. The Boyz did (and do)…..can’t you tell?

How many times throughout your life have you been presented with the question “Would you”? For most of us, it is probably at least a few times if not more. This type of question can come up during conversations with any number of friends, family, strangers, listeners to the Hamlin Avenue Boyz Podcast, and life directions covering a whole host of subjects and situations. Well, as is sometimes the case, Da Boyz loves to entertain hypotheticals in conversation just about more than anything else. The reason? They just love (or would prefer) putting themselves in awkward situations in the laboratory (aka the studio) versus real life. I mean who wouldn’t? It’s just safer. One particularly late night of recording produced one of those golden moments that you can hear on tracks 6 and 7 of their latest episode, which was prompted by a communication from a ‘listener’. Thank you James from Davenport, IA. So to everybody and anybody listening ‘out there’ - What would you do? Would you?

As always - Da Boyz is grateful to you for pointing your ears in the direction of Hamlin Avenue now and then and for all your communications to the show. And we do mean ‘all’. We encourage you (if the feeling arises) to send the Boyz your comments, questions, or hypotheticals. Send a shout-out to The Hamlin Avenue Boyz in care of:

The Boyz have spent many a ‘Hard Days Night’ over these last few years in Homan Studio “A” pontificating on all manner of subjects, which have produced a stockpile of recordings. Not everything makes the grade for release to the world.  Only those recordings that tickle-the-entire-team in the studio are produced into a Hamlin Avenue Boyz Album of tracks.  

No matter the weather, most often The Boyz arrive late in the evening parking in the darkened alley behind the studio. They come ready to enjoy each other’s company, the company of the studio staff and with an almost ‘ceremonial’ approach - the entire team will imbibe in some select herb.  Only then do they signal the engineer with a ‘thumbs up’ to hit the record button and capture the come-what-may moments with the help of the always dependable studio staff of support.  This scene continues sometimes through the night.  

On this particular late-night, along with the many other unusual subjects of discussion, the Boyz got on a tangent that was quite surprising to say the least.  As an example - ‘Dirty Feet’.  That’s right we did just say that.  Anything and everything related to da feet.  Who knew there was so much to say. Who knew the younger generation generally doesn’t like the idea of feet or looking at them.  At all.  Who knew there was a solid reason for so much feet washing in biblical times.  Feet had to have been real freakin dirty back then right?  And who knew Vince does not want anyone touching his feet. “Nobody”! To quote an iconic audio artist from the past, Biggie Smalls (Notorious B.I.G.)  “And If you don’t know.  Now you know….” 

So, enjoy you some ‘Dirty Feet’.

As always, thank you for pointing your ears in this direction now and then and for all your communications to the show.  And we do mean ‘all’.  We encourage you (if the feeling arises) to send the Boyz your comments, questions, or hypotheticals.  Send a shout-out to The Hamlin Avenue Boyz in care of:
