422 - Invasion of the guitar

Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for an all-new episode of the Chasing Tone Podcast!Blake introduces us to the Wyland car bomb, something that may or may not be illegal in 14 states, and instructs us on the special methods he employs when it is in play. Richard has fallen in love with Jazzmasters and Blake tells him I told you so in a much nicer way than if the tables were turned.  This eventually turns into a conversation about Squier's 40th Anniversary range via ridiculous torque wrench pressure measurements. Richard then tries terribly to retell the story of "Trigger's Broom" as an analogy but gets nowhere fast whist accusing Blake of reading classical greek literature and Brian purges his cache live on air. There's been some industry news from Fender with a  number of layoffs changes and the guys discuss this and the ramifications for the industry and the consumer. There have been some interesting new stats around the consumption of "New Music" versus "Old Music"  and the guys dig into the implied consequences not just for music but also culture in general.  This then expands on to predictions for the future of music and possible use of AI. Brian also makes a little apology before repeating himself.
