Welcome to the Great Albums podcast. I'm Bill Lambusta. And I'm Brian Erickson. And what are we talking about today, Brian?

Well, we've got a very special announcement, Bill in case we put out a new episode, congratulations.

You were correct. We are putting out this episode at the very

least. And we're here to talk about the fact that we are coming back. Yes, it is a hard reboot.

Yeah, what's the difference between a hard reboot and a soft reboot? I guess one is like all new, all different.

And the other is, I don't know, like a slight flavor palette change, you know, like

they did with Butterfinger a few years ago.

Well, yeah, now that you mention it, I don't think I use that term correctly because, you know, you think of like a, I don't know, like say the new season of Scrubs that just came at.

That's maybe that feels like a like more of a soft reboot or a continuation after a long break.

A legacy sequel, if you would.

That's what this is. It's not a hard reboot. It is a

legacy sequel. There we go, because a hard reboot would be all new hosts, all new everything.

It's still going to be us. We're still going to be talking about music. There is a little bit of

a format change to everything. But before we get

into all the nitty gritty of it all, the important thing is that we're back. There's going to be

new episodes starting June 1st. Yep. And before we get into the details of all that, Brian,

you know, just kind of let me know, let listeners know what are you been up to the last few years you know we've been out of the game since

2019 you know officially and then we had a few episodes up until like 2021 I think ish yeah we were

doing like a year end stuff like that and you, popping on like once or twice a year.

So what have you been up to in the last few years?

By and large, I have kept busy with musical ventures, particularly with my band The Extensions.

Longtime listeners know that I was in a band called The Paper Jets.
