If you’re looking for some solid entertainment we can’t recommend enough checking out the latest We Talk Music podcast with Thom Hazaert. And it’s a good thing he’s so entertaining too, since he’ll be helping to host the Oh Say Can You Stream fundraising event on April 11th.

There might just not be a single part of the music industry that Tom Hazaert hasn’t touched. He’s been a musician, record executive, journalist & more. This means he’s made a lot of great contacts in the industry. Now he’s using that history, along with his association with the David Ellefson Youth Music Foundation, to give back to the community.

That’s the impetus for the Oh Say Can You Stream. Money raised from the night will go towards the School’s Out initiative. It’s a project providing instruments and lessons from celebrity entertainers to children in isolation during Covid-19.

All the details of how Oh Say Can You Stream came together, who’s involved, and the relationship between Megadeth bassist David Ellefson and Thom Hazaert can be found on the episode. Thom also covers the decision for Ellefson to release the single “Simple Truth” early, with proceeds from the song going to the Italian Red Cross.

Plus,since both are fans of the genre, WTM host Mo and Thom take a little time to discuss the Wes Craven film Shocker. A horror cult classic, Thom produced a documentary on the film’s heavy metal soundtrack for it’s Shout Factory Blu-ray release . This sets up a small discussion between that metal soundtrack on Shocker and that of another 80s horror cult classic, Trick or Treat.

So put on the headphones download or hit play, and enjoy yourself with Thom Hazaert. This is a great way to get ready for the April 11th Oh Say Can You Stream live event, and we couldn’t be more excited to see it take place.

The event kicks off this Saturday (4.11) at 3 PM CT/4 ET can be streamed on GMEC’s Twitch and Facebook, David Ellefson’s Facebook and YouTube channels, and DEYMF’s Facebook page. More details on who is involved are below.
