Henry (B3 Beyond) Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know even more about return guest Henry.

Then we discuss some of the finer points of his new art. He talks about some of the techniques he is working on and studying at university. Again, Henry resides in The U.K. just outside of London, but since we last spoke, he has made a trip across the pond, to The United States. I pepper him with questions about his trip, and where he went, and what he was doing here. Then he explains to me that while it was a refreshing change of scenery, it did inform some of the projects that he is working on. Some of Henry's current works have a decidedly political bent. As listeners of the show will know, we don't talk politics on Fascination Street; but we do deftly discuss his works and the reasons behind them. His art is beautiful, and you can see some of it on his Instagram page and his website. Both of which he shares in this episode.

We do discuss his parents and their influences on his musicality as well as his overall worldview. While his family comes from India, his parents thought it might be a good idea to make a hasty retreat from their home country due to one of his folks being Muslim, while the other is Hindu. After a stint in Canda, then London, the family moved to Palm Desert. Imaad's influences know no bounds. His father was a Ghazal singer, the family spoke Urdu at home, and Imaad grew up attending 'generator parties' in the desolate lands that are now famous for Coachella! Imaad generously lets me play my favorite song from his very first solo album from twenty years ago. The we do a deep dive into 'The Devine', the 'Super Consciousness', and what it means to have an 'awareness of self'. Naturally I ask how he came to be basically the fourth member of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs; with whom he has play for twenty years as well. Finally, we dig into Imaad's newest record. This is his SEVENTH solo album, and it is called 'Superconsciousness', and it was released in mid-March of this year. All of the songs are avail in all of the usual places, but YOU SHOULD PURCHASE the new album on Bandcamp. He is eve selling it on vinyl and includes several demo versions of some of the tracks. Speaking of which, Imaad is such a rad gut, that he lets me play my favorite track from the new record. The making of this record was severely hampered by the catastrophic wildfires in Altadena, California. Imaad lost some stuff but was very lucky overall, thank goodness.

In this episode, James shares fun stories about growing up and the moment he realized that something he did could affect the hearts, minds, and emotions of the people around him. Then we get into the importance of storytelling and what it means to be a storyteller. We chat a little about his previous Christmas movie called 'Candy Cane Lane' and even some fun behind the scenes about a project he is working on with his son Kelton. James discusses a recent change up in his representation, and how that is coming along. Finally, we get into his new film 'Hunting Season'; where he stars alongside the iconic Mel Gibson. Hilarious stories of setbacks and growth, plus things he learned on the set of this film. Even after more than 30 years in the industry, it's good to know that James can always learn a new nugget to help him in his career.
