An actual podcast, for serious

Posted in punctuality, punk rock, tardiness on August 27, 2009 by kiefda03

Hey look, a post! And not one that cops out with a goddamned Youtube video, I might add. I’m fighting a case of the can’t-sleeps tonight, so I decided to finally make a new podcast. We’re back to 10 songs this time around, because I learned how to count between the last podcast and this one.

Paul and Storm write very funny songs. Just sayin’.

Okay, so here’s the podcast! You guys should know the drill by now, assuming anyone is still keeping up with this thing.

Playlist:

teenage bottlerocket – skate or die
the nubs – i don’t need you (cause i got me)
razors edge – toxic toys
down in the dumps – bummer
those intrinsic intellectuals – do the executive
just die! – lifeboats
night owls – alienation
boy problems – i hate kevin
straight 8s – misunderstood
jay reatard – let it all go (live)

Yes, I’m still alive

Well!  Some internet issues and a nasty throat infection later, here I am, back from the near-dead to hopefully update this thing with a real podcast at some point today. In the meantime, everyone should go listen to Mammoth Grinder because they’re great. Saw them a couple of weeks ago and they blew the roof off the joint. Well, blew the ceiling off the joint. We were in a basement, natch.

Meanwhile, here’s some footage (not captured by me) from another basement show in Allston, MA, featuring TKC and the gone-but-n0t-forgotten Witches With Dicks.

No, I’m not dead

So that show I posted about before disappearing was awesome – Dead Mechanical “headlined” and did an awesome cover of “Aneurysm,” one of my favorite Nirvana songs. Yes, I like Nirvana. I also like updating this thing, believe it or not, and I’ve got a new podcast on the way. Sadly, visiting with family got in the way, and I can’t seem to find a decent wireless Internet connection down here (NC) to save my life. Not even Panera works right.

So yeah, it might be another day or two. But since I can’t leave this thing empty, here’s a fun track from Kill Your Idols (RIP) called “Can’t Take My Pride.”

Show tomorrow night!

June 16th (that’s tomorrow!) at Charm City Art Space; Dead Mechanical, Canadian Rifle, Daylight Robbery, and the Skanarchists are playin’!  Doors open at 7pm, shouldn’t be over $10 at the door. Come on down! It’s got all the charm of a frat basement with none of the frattitude!

Canadian Rifle and Daylight Robbery have been featured on this very podcast recently, and they’re both great. Check ‘em out in their respective episodes, or search them out on Myspace. They’re both from Chicago, so it would behoove you, from a karmic standpoint, to come out tomorrow night and kick ‘em a little gas money.

late update!

Sorry this one’s late, folks (assuming there’s more than one person listening); I was busy last night and didn’t get back until around 2am, at which point my contact lenses demanded out.

Also, this weekend is Hon Fest! in Baltimore’s delightful Hampden neighborhood. Come on by and get your hair teased into a beehive while fat rednecks and their heavily tattooed wives drop funnel cake sugar all over you!

Here’s the podcast! (look for the flashing red arrow!)

Playlist:**

canadian rifle – climbing down from the crane
hasil adkins – no more hot dogs
the skunks – earthquake shake
nux vomica – empty out the parking meters
bayonettes – dead end kids
red dons – room 322
grabbag – i love black people
paul and storm – the captain’s wife’s lament

**yes, there are only 8 songs this time. Don’t worry, there’ll be 10 next week; I miscounted when I was putting the playlist together.

podcast and show report! aka I am totally lame

Here we go again! Saw one of the bands in this week’s playlist – Control DC – at Charm City Art Space on Thursday night and they rocked. No Minion, Boiling Over, and Sick Fix also played, and they were great. Well, the first two were – I didn’t get to see Sick Fix because I had a bus to catch, but they’re good too.

There’s another good show coming up on June 16th at CCAS; Dead Mechanical, Canadian Rifle, Daylight Robbery (featured in tonight’s playlist), and the Skanarchists are playing, and they will pump funk in the cracks and possibly cut wax with an axe. Or something.

the podcast! (look for flashing red arrow next to d/l link!)

Playlist:

witches with dicks – working sux
mind of asian – no rain no rainbow
arsenik – swedish boy
daylight robbery – reach out
control (DC) – a step apart
the art department – julia i can’t run anymore
fleshies – the disadvantages of a high-fiber diet
brickfight – pensacola is a pipe bomb
the modernettes – little girls
wavves – so bored

update from the road!

Posted in awesomeness, punk rock, update on May 30, 2009 by kiefda03

Currently takin’ this show on the road – I’m in NY for a wedding (not mine) and put the finishing touches on this week’s offering in my hotel room. Traveling alone is pretty much the greatest thing ever, minus the parts where you have to do all the driving yourself.

crash phantoms – soul
millgrinder – goddess of ishtar
conga fury – GOD
jean claude jam band – disappear
nukkehammer – pig all the time
the observers – can’t be sad

Jesus, I just cannot be depended on, can I? Never fear though, a new podcast is coming soon! Possibly next week, even. It’ll be lighter on the rockabilly this time since I’m running out of stuff I have permission to play, but I’ll throw in plenty of new awesomeness to make up for it.

In the meantime, check out Corn Car. It’s a very basic, pro-ethanol blog I’ve taken over. If you’re as big an alt-fuels nerd as I am, you’ll love it more than any woman or fine buggy.
