OK, so spring time is getting to me, I’m seeing more and more skin when I go out. Flowers are blooming, we’ve already been to the beach a few times. Bikinis everywhere… what’s a guy gonna do? I mean I AM human, no matter what anyone says.

Spring fever has hit the entire country, and so I thought I’d celebrate with an image enhanced podcast for everyone else out there that is also all turned on by mother nature’s magic.

I start off today’s podcast with one of the sexiest and kookiest tunes I’ve ever heard. It’s by bay area artist mopehead otherwise known as Mr. Mark Harvey who just happened to celebrate a birthday. This tune is titled: He Goes To Parties, and I tell you, it’s so bitter sweet and sexy I’m not sure what to think when ever I hear it. One of my absolute favorite songs of all time.

Next up from the Hyped 2 Death collection is the band Animals and Men with the way cool tune, Baby Scratch My Back. There is something very kinky about this band, maybe it’s the bands name that makes me wonder what they’re up to, maybe it’s their lyrics…

Then from the sexiest city in the whole US, New York City, comes Gwen Snyder and her band Blueberry. The cut I play from this amazing act is, Idol Hands. We all know that Idol Hands do the work of the devil, and Blueberry make it sound so sexy. Love them, and Gwen. Truly sexy folk from NY. Be sure to check out her site, as there’s so much yummyness to be had there.

In 1991 I had the pleasure to get the chance to record Bo Grumpus on my 4-track when I was living with these guys in the pan handle of the Haight in San Francisco. The tune Craig and Petey play today is, I Love Me. Hilarious, and anytime one is involved in some self loving, it gets a bit kinky, wouldn’t you say?

My band Rain Station whip out the title track from the Fancy Fancy CD, a very dark and mysterious tune if I say so myself. Kinda inspired by porn, and one particular dirty girl that drove me nuts. Maybe I’ve said too much, maybe not enough.

To end this naughty set is none other than the beautiful and ever so sexy May Ling Su and her band, Strip Karaoke playing, He’s A Homo.

Whew! I just can’t take any more. I’m gonna go snoop around and see what my wife is up to… I bet she’s in need of a little break from whatever she’s doing… in the meantime, enjoy the podcast!

So I have no idea what’s been going on, but it seems like it’s been the month of people not doing what they say. Not showing up on time, two hours late, and not phoning… All kinds of mayhem with banks and electric companies making billing errors. What the hell? I can’t get anything done. It’s making me completely insane… or worse incompletely insane.

Every time I’ve made a plan around someone else, it all fell through. I’m at a complete stand still on several projects, so I thought I’d do something about it. Sit down all alone and put together an enhanced podcast for all you listeners out there. Let me tell you this, I will let nothing get in my way. I am hell bent on getting something done, and as long as blogger doesn’t self implode in the next ten minutes, we should be fine. My fingers are crossed, which makes typing rather difficult.

So if you are feeling held back by all the flakes in your life, this podcast is for you. If every time you make a plan, someone else messes it all up, I feel for ya. If every time you get a bank statement or bill, and it’s wrong – let’s join together and crush the infrastructure. What is wrong with the world of mankind? Have we all lost our minds? It’s like there isn’t a brain among the lot of ’em. I just want to start banging heads together where ever I go, so look out.

We start out with a great Boston band, Laughing Academy with Say What You Will. The Future Chicken Farmers whip out Distemper, which is the exact type of shot I need right now. I’m mad as a dog. Another annoying personality trait, Fickle is also the name of a beautiful tune by Blueberry. Then Equator get out the old 4-track with Lodestone. Pennsylvania rockers Brother Eye give us all a Guilt Trip, and the 3 Pigs Cafe end it all with Liar Liar.

The next time someone lets you down, crank this podcast loud, and just let go. Forget about it all. Keep muttering: It just doesn’t matter – it just doesn’t matter…

The kind folk over at Hyped 2 Death sent me a giant package of CDs. I’ve been listening to them for a while now just to familiarize myself with all the new tunes. Most of the CDs are “Do It Yourself” rock and roll made by a bunch of freaks and weirdos with low budget equipment. My favorite kind of music! Also included is The Shivvers, a nifty teen band that pumps out power pop.

Today’s image enhanced podcast is all from the Hyped 2 Death collection, as they sent me so much music, I thought it would be cool to do a show of all these interesting bands. Be sure to check out Hyped2Death.com for all your DIY, punk, and post punk music. These guys have a lot of stuff to offer. A huge collection.

First up is Teen Line by the Shivvers. Then we get on with my favorite DIY act, The Instant Automatons with, Armchair Politics. Animals & Men tell us all about the Bad Lover. We’ve all been there. Ichkk. Mud Hutters do a great song about potato titled, All About. I really love potato. Any way you cook it, I love the spud. You’ll like the song too. Steve Treatment ends our show with a Change of Plan.

I really appreciate Hyped 2 Death for sharing all these nifty CDs with us all. Be sure to check out more of their music, as they have tons and tons just waiting for your ears to hear. Have a good one, Hoagie.

Baby Hoagie came home from “Wee Play” and gave us all the worst flu we’ve had in years. And to add to it all, it just rains and rains here in California. Stuck inside, head all clogged up. Feelin’ miserable… ah-HA! My new theme for an image enhanced podcast! Here are a bunch of songs by a bunch of sickos, that I’m sure you’ll enjoy. Just don’t get too close, you don’t wanna catch this!

First up is Liz Downing and Daily Grace with the parasitic tune: Blood Fluke. Then the gang from Equator record a strange tune on 4-track while they all had the flu titled: I’m Becoming Psychic. Lots of samples of coughing, hacking and so on, it’s pretty cool. The next song by Gwen Snyder and Blueberry really sets me in a spring time field with dandelions, bees, pollen, and lots of other allergens all floating around. It just feels that way to me, I almost need an antihistamine when I hear this song, titled: Off With My Head, (which is exactly how I feel right now). Then just when you thought it was nice and safe at the podcast, Brent Clifford and the Unknown Rule whip out, Surgical Tool. The cure is far worse than the ailment. Gorehounds finish up with Corpse Worm, and then we all go home because we’re so sick and tired we just can’t take it any more.

So there you have it, tunes for flu and allergy season. Pass me a Kleenex.

Here we are at our 40th image enhanced podcast – and it just keeps getting better and better. Thanks to everyone that have sent me their CDs. I’ve received several new bands as well as spoken word and comedy discs. It’s so exciting to get new CDs in the mail from artists all over the world. If you have a music or comedy CD that you recorded yourself – send it our way – I’ll play it on this podcast for the world to hear!

To start off the best podcast ever is Miss Tess with a nifty tune titled: Can’t Sleep Now. Then from Sam Hill Productions a number from the cabaret show ‘Same Old Songs’ titled: Never Been So Close. Be sure to check out the Sam Hill web site to listen to more music from this fun show.

Richard McGhee Star Vocalist does a karaoke version of Oh Look At Me Now. I always love it when Richard does songs written for female vocalists. It adds so much camp factor. Then from the Kinky & Sweet CD by Bo Grumpus and Terry Waldo we play the cut, Low Bridge, Everyone Down. To finish off the set is the mighty band Jesus Knievel whipping out the big horns and performing live on stage the song titled: Body Bags.

So there you have it – enjoy!

Here’s a bunch of stuff that makes me laugh. We start out gettin’ weird with mopehead and his 4-track recording of Groovy Groovy Kitty. The amazing Dan Hanrahan shares with us one of my favorite spoken word pieces of all time: Jeff at Wendy’s. Dimitrius helps us define just exactly what being White Trash is all about, and Sonny Probe helps us define it even further with Painful Relations. Mitchell Vaillant brings us back to the big city in his bizarre urban Caseo tune, That Woman Is A Junkie. Then Jesus Knievel tells a funny tale about the perfect crime in, Steal Your Shoe.

So there you have it. Laugh it up.

Ever have a Freaky Weekend? For some people every weekend is a Freaky Weekend. But that’s just too much for me. Freaky Weekends wear me out and make me tired. Now I don’t know what you’d consider a Freaky Weekend. We all have different limits. All I know is that I just had a Freaky Weekend, and now I’m really really tired.

To start off this Freaky Weekend we’ve got the Gorehounds with a hard driving beat bringing us the Voodoo Priest. Frank’s Depression delights us all with Untitled III. Brother Eye enters the stage with Overture in Brown. Gwen Snyder and her band Blueberry lulls us with the White Fang Lullaby. And several Strange Ghoulish Shapes float high up over Dan Hanrahan, and the Fleshrot CD finishes the set with a Drink To The Dead. It was freaky…

Ahh Love. How was your Valentine’s Day? Did you ever think about how there is a reason that there are different words for Love and Happiness? It’s because they are not the same thing! Just like the words Sex and Love, they are not the same thing. Just because you have one, doesn’t mean you have the other. There is more to learn about Love than any other subject there could ever be. It’s just so complicated.

Blueberry joins our image enhanced podcast once again and graces us with Pocketbook of Love, and it is beautiful. Just for fun I toss in an outtake from a recording session with the Future Chicken Farmers. Tim improvs Poke You Tonight, and it’s funny. Gorehounds tell us all about The Fox, Jesus Knievel shine up their tuba and perform Once Upon A Time. And then it’s time to get out your weepin’ rag, as Mitchell Vaillant takes us on a slow bus ride south with Clean Dirt. Now go out there and love some one.

When I was growing up in Portland Maine, there was a nifty place where all the local bands got their chance to play out. Geno’s Pub was a little underground seedy dive of a place, where all the garage bands and punk rock kids could get on stage and tear it up. The place had the best vibe, and was a great place to see a show. I’ve been to clubs in all the major US cities, and honestly, Geno’s really had them all beat. The place just oozed rock and/or roll.

Since I have a huge collection of recordings from way back in the 80’s and 90’s, I thought it would be neat to put together a set of bands that played at Geno’s Pub regularly.

First up is a tune titled Paris by the 80’s band V; – (Thanks Gary for sending me this great CD-R of V; – people send me your original music, I will play it!) Next up is a band that often played out with V; it’s the band Ghost Walks performing a studio version of Malice with their good friend Conni St. Pierre reading poetry in the background. Pretty cool. After that the greatest band to ever grace Geno’s stage: The Gorehounds whip out Bad. The early 80’s punk band T-2 rehearse their song, Deranged, and we finish the set with the 90’s act, Head Cleaner closing the show with Time To Go.

Geno’s Pub has since moved to Congress street, and I have yet to see the new space. I can only hope that it will be just as sleezy and run down as the original pub, as it really had an ambiance that was hard to beat. Rock on!
