Blynd Submyshynz Episode 21: Jordan Olds from Two Minutes to Late Night

Oh man...so excited about this one. We spent time chatting with Jordan Olds, the brains? behind Two Minutes To Late Night. If you don't know Two Minutes, what are  you going....click the link below and dive in. Jordan spent the pandemic organizing an incredible group of "Bedroom Covers"...underground musicians covering some of their favorite songs and artists. Well it was underground until he trotted out a cover of Rush's Anthem by Danny Carey, Les Claypool, Bill Kelliher, Claudio Sanchez, Stephen Brodsky, and Jordan himself. That video has over 1.1 million views on YouTube, and subsequent bedroom covers include Jay Weinberg, and even Jay's dad Max (Bruce Springstein) covering The Misfits.

Two Minutes just launched a new live stream series called Splitsville, taking inspiration from 7-inch punk splits where 2 bands cover each other's songs. The series takes advantage of Bandcamp's new live streaming concert platform, and it was brilliant, with Cave In and Every Time I Die covering each other (with exclusive shirts and 7" records available to purchase if you bought a $5 show ticket.

Things you will learn about Jordan:

The real mission of Two Minutes is to "widen the tent" in metal. Less gatekeepy please. We agree.He has a new kind of loud neighbors even after living the city.The secret to the success of the channel? No sleep.You too can make a living off of puns.The skinny couch room in all the bedroom cover videos was a happy accident.He has a nice BC Rich Mockingbird bass. Jeff sold it to him...lol.He also has a friend who can do really nice refinish work on guitars...hit him up.During the blind listens, he very much enjoyed that "Vazumnacht is a Krampus inspired dark Holiday EP."

Stick around for an epic rant about why singers in heavy bands should just go ahead and take vocal lessons, even if it is goofy as hell. Our sincere thanks to Jordan for spending time with us.
