25. "SEVENDUST: A Wonderful Magical Animal"

💥 a moment in time 💥 *For the best hi-fi experience, use buds 🎧 and listen in your fav podcast app or watch on Patreon for free with no commercials or YouTube edits THE EPISODE: https://youtu.be/W6Kt26b4WuU [https://youtu.be/W6Kt26b4WuU] This episode is the one & only solo ep ever recorded on Boombox. Marc dives into the powerhouse that is Sevendust—an unstoppable force made up of five incredibly talented musicians who've all proven their individual brilliance with solo releases and side projects of their own. Like Homer's ode, in The Simpsons, to the many forms of pork, Sevendust is that "wonderful magical animal"—a band where each part is distinct and dynamic, yet together they create something greater than the sum of its parts. Initially recorded in early 2021, Marc also reflects on the emotional weight of 2020, covid and how music—especially the raw honesty and heaviness of Sevendust—helped carry him through a year of uncertainty and isolation. This one's for the fans who know that sometimes the heaviest music is what lifts you up the most.

This week we're joined by Ethan Gallardo—voice actor, UX/UI designer, and former "Clown" in the Slipknot tribute band, SiC—for a trip through the world of personas. From anime dubbing with Funimation (now Crunchyroll) to screaming on stage in a latex mask, Ethan shares how music, voice, and family shaped his creative path. We talk about what it's like behind the mic in the world of animation and gaming, how we all wear different masks in life, and what it means to step into a character—on-screen or on stage. Plug in, turn it up, and let's get nostalgic about the voices and songs that shape the personas we inhabit. 📢 Ethan Gallardo: https://www.ethangallardovo.com/about [https://www.ethangallardovo.com/about] 📚 CHAPTERS 0:00 - Ch 1: The Impact of Music & Voice 16:07 - Ch 2: Ethan's Origins 34:34 - Ch 3: The Anime Booth 55:24 - Ch 4: Resonating Personas 1:07:59 - Ch 5: The Clown Show 1:21:14 - Ch 6: …and scene ←→ EXPLORE: Music & Media referenced in this episode… 🎧 YouTube - Full Credits https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoKlxmU6jzf0POH1Ti-y1_2QERT78GVWO&si=QLguP7YtRWqmXnJY [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoKlxmU6jzf0POH1Ti-y1_2QERT78GVWO&si=QLguP7YtRWqmXnJY] 🎧 Spotify - Soundtrack Style Playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7p3qZ6W6vo9IhxBXvyWdrA?si=cf8e0fa0beb748b0 [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7p3qZ6W6vo9IhxBXvyWdrA?si=cf8e0fa0beb748b0] 🔘 Copyright 2025 Wizard 🧙‍♂️ Studios *All music & media clips are used for commentary purposes and covered under Fair Use **boombox show music provided by http://www.InAudio.org [http://www.inaudio.org] & sad 🐼 panda ←→ THE PODCAST: 💥boombox music talk💥 🎙️ An immersive audio experience celebrating music, nostalgia & the power of sound. 👍🏻 Available wherever you podcast or watch the video versions on YouTube and free on the boombox Patreon 🕉 Enjoy the journey and stay zen! 🌴 https://linktr.ee/boomboxmusictalk [https://linktr.ee/boomboxmusictalk] ←→ THE SHOW: 💥the power of sound💥 🔊 Dig deep into the creative, emotional, and sometimes mysterious ways music, frequency, and resonance affect our lives.

BONUS: "The Beta Tapes" | Deconstructing Cowboy Bebop

💥Bonus Ep from Patreon💥 *For the best experience, use buds 🎧 THE EPISODE: https://youtu.be/dKG5rT9Wj5k On this bonus episode from our Patreon, we discuss episode 18 of Cowboy Bebop, "Speak Like a Child," where the character Faye Valentine receives an old Betamax tape revealing a homemade video of a young Faye from before she lost her memories. The video captures her youthful optimism and dreams for the future, contrasting with her current cynical self. We look at how seeing a message from our younger selves can be powerful because it reminds us of our original hopes, dreams, and innocence before life's hardships shaped us and can lead to more self compassion and patience. *Note: This ep was originally recorded during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic as part of Ep 3 "Deconstructing Cowboy Bebop" EXPLORE: Music & Media referenced in this episode… 🎧 YouTube - Full Credits https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoKlxmU6jzf14PdIKI9gei5X0khQ7ENlT&si=e5wOf25bGwdYu4Z8 [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoKlxmU6jzf14PdIKI9gei5X0khQ7ENlT&si=e5wOf25bGwdYu4Z8] 🔘 Copyright 2025 Wizard 🧙‍♂️ Studios *All music & media clips are used for commentary purposes and covered under Fair Use **boombox show music provided by http://www.InAudio.org [http://www.inaudio.org] & sad 🐼 panda ←→ THE PODCAST: 💥boombox music talk💥 🎙️ An immersive audio experience celebrating music, nostalgia & the power of sound. 👍🏻 Available on YouTube, Spotify, and wherever you podcast. 🕉 Enjoy the journey and stay zen! 🌴 https://linktr.ee/boomboxmusictalk [https://linktr.ee/boomboxmusictalk] ←→ THE SHOW: 💥the power of sound💥 Deep dives into the mystery of music, sound, and vibration; and their impact on our hearts, minds, and realities. 🎧 to more eps of 📻 "the power of sound" ⬇️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoKlxmU6jzf0xk_hItv0vW-OC_xRXJjwH [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoKlxmU6jzf0xk_hItv0vW-OC_xRXJjwH] ←→ SUPPORT: ❤️‍🔥 Subscribe (and ring that 🔔 for YouTube listeners) so you never miss an episode 🙏🏻 Leave a 5 star rating & review to help us navigate the mysterious algorithms 🙌🏻 Support the show and get exclusive content & giveaways: http://patreon.com/boomboxmusictalk [http://patreon.com/boomboxmusictalk] 👕 Buy swag and rep the podcast: https://www.teepublic.com/user/boombox [https://www.teepublic.com/user/boombox] 🧠 Feed your brain.

💥The Power of Sound with Bret Cococcia💥 *For the best experience, use buds 🎧 THE EPISODE: https://youtu.be/fxtJymPzl-o [https://youtu.be/fxtJymPzl-o] In this episode, we dive into the haunting world of Type O Negative, the Brooklyn-born band that blended doom metal, gothic rock, punk and dark humor into a sound unlike any other. Led by the late Peter Steele, a towering figure with a voice as deep as a funeral bell, the band's music explored themes of love, death, heartbreak, and vampiric romance—all wrapped in a macabre yet strangely seductive atmosphere. From their breakout album Bloody Kisses to the melancholic masterpiece October Rust, Type O Negative painted a world where passion and sorrow intertwined with anthems like "Black No. 1," "Love You to Death," and "Christian Woman." Join us as we explore the bittersweet beauty of Type O Negative, their obsession with the supernatural, and how they turned romantic tragedy into art. 📚 CHAPTERS 0:00 - Ch 1: Love You to Death 19:53 - Ch 2: Relative Perspectives 45:18 - Ch 3: First Blood 1:05:58 - Ch 4: Elevated Intrigue 1:33:15 - Ch 5: Some Stupid Tomorrow EXPLORE: Music & Media referenced in this episode… 🎧 YouTube - Full Credits https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoKlxmU6jzf3biSBuOAKbvDbWzOhKXgWC&si=5R8alJrk5oMfuITY [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoKlxmU6jzf3biSBuOAKbvDbWzOhKXgWC&si=5R8alJrk5oMfuITY] 🎧 Spotify - Soundtrack Style Playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4VDwzeFw36K562Q3xvZpbg?si=fe6b74b3ff5646ac&pt=98f87ed458b8d3966ac2e89cc425c394 [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4VDwzeFw36K562Q3xvZpbg?si=fe6b74b3ff5646ac&pt=98f87ed458b8d3966ac2e89cc425c394] 🔘 Copyright 2025 Wizard 🧙‍♂️ Studios *All music & media clips are used for commentary purposes and covered under Fair Use **boombox show music provided by http://www.InAudio.org [http://www.inaudio.org] & sad 🐼 panda ←→ THE PODCAST: 💥boombox music talk💥 🎙️ An immersive audio experience celebrating nostalgia, music & the power of sound. 👍🏻 Available on YouTube, Spotify, and wherever you podcast. 🕉 Enjoy the journey and stay zen! 🌴 https://linktr.ee/boomboxmusictalk [https://linktr.ee/boomboxmusictalk] ←→ THE SHOW: 💥the power of sound💥 Deep dives into the mystery of music, sound, and vibration; and their impact on our hearts, minds, and realities. 🎧 to more eps of 📻 "the power of sound" ⬇️ https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoKlxmU6jzf0xk_hItv0vW-OC_xRXJjwH [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoKlxmU6jzf0xk_hItv0vW-OC_xRXJjwH] ←→ SUPPORT: ❤️‍🔥 Subscribe (and ring that 🔔 for YouTube listeners) so you never miss an episode 🙏🏻 Leave a 5 star rating & review to help us navigate the mysterious algorithms 🙌🏻 Support the show and get exclusive content & giveaways: http://patreon.com/boomboxmusictalk [http://patreon.com/boomboxmusictalk] 👕 Buy swag and rep the podcast: https://www.teepublic.com/user/boombox [https://www.teepublic.com/user/boombox] 🧠 Feed your brain.
