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

update from the road!

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.

The prodigal returns!

I’m baaaaaaaaaack….

Life got in the way of things for, Jesus, close to a year now, but with the summer all up on us, and the break from grad school and work it has bestowed upon me, I actually have time to update! Of course, now there’s probably no one around to care,  but oh well. Them’s the breaks.

FINALLY. Thank the good people at Ariel Publicity for reminding me that I do indeed have a podcast that needs updating. Then thank them again for supplying me with the Hillbilly Hellcats. Good times.

Here’s the cast! Follow the link, it’s pretty self-explanatory. I’d prefer an upload space with deep linking, but people in Hell would prefer snow. Make do with whatcha have, ya know?

help is on the way!

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.

22nd one!

Here’s the ‘cast!

Wow, a new website AND a new update! If I had suspenders, I’d be snapping them right now. Of course, my upload server of choice, Filenanny, appears to have bitten ye olde dust, so I’ll have to find another place to store my past shows. But more on that later.

This marks a new period in the Brasserie’s gradual evolution, because I’ve decided to replace most of the vocal breaks with hilarious/ironic/terrifying sound clips taken from here and there around the Internet (sermons are a favorite, if only to expose how crazy and sheltered religious people can be). It was an easy choice to make, given that the alternative was me babbling semi-coherently into the microphone for several takes per break and getting more frustrated with each one. Plus, these days I sound like my sinuses are filled with concrete, which may very well be true, so I’ll pop on for DK’s Word of the Day (a new segment!) and leave it at that. Today’s word, which you’ll hear defined in the podcast itself, was criterion.

Playlist:
No One’s Hero – Broken Bones
the Epoxies – Need More Time
Jump Off A Building – Waste It
Fucked Up – Baiting the Public
Season of Nightmares – Voodoo Queen

Tranzmitors – Bigger Houses
the Tremors – Two Timin’ Man
So Unloved – Asshole
The Young Werewolves – Black Cat
the Hipshakes – Bangy Bang

Vitamin X – Bad Trip
the Fire Dept. – You’re Too Much

Lords of the Highway – Johnny Psycho
Bayonettes – Stuck In This Rut
Neos – Destruct
Bankrupt – Record Store Renegade
Kompressor – You Have To Synthesize

*The chunks of sermon you heard in today’s podcast were taken from sermonaudio.com; the speakers were Ricky Jones and Mark Monte. And yes, they scare me too.

whee!

And now I make the commute to WordPress. Fun times!

Here’s an awesome picture of a dinosaur whose meteorite-borne death would, millions of generations down the line, explain Chicken Little’s fear of the sky falling:
