Upcoming Shows

Hey everyone, happy Saturday.

Just wanted to take a few and talk about some of the upcoming shows for December. On the 5th Pete Berwick will be making his return appearance. It's always a blast to have Pete on the show and to be honest it's been way too long. I'm really looking forward to it!

I'm also planning a end of the year recap, just a short walk down memory lane for one of the last shows of 2010 so if there are any moments (besides the night Angela and Deb showed me the pink pig, already planning it) let me know. You can leave it in the comments section below or just email me.

People have been asking me if I'm going to be doing a show on New Years eve. To be honest last years show was just a spur of the moment almost didn't happen sort of thing and I'm kinda hesitant to do one this year because there are other regularly scheduled shows on blogtv on Friday nights so it really depends partly on if I have any plans and what the other guys are doing. If I'm home and not doing anything else, and there isn't anything else going on in blogtv land, then yes.

Another idea is maybe to do it on the channel I usually use for my "test" channel. I really haven't decided yet, I'll let you guys know.

Don't forget to join us tomorrow starting at 9 pm (eastern), and have a great weekend!

Show Recap

Well, finally made it back to the blogtv airways last Sunday, special thanks to all who came out!

We were very fortunate to be joined in the chat by our good friend Pete Berwick as we played cuts from his new album as well as other new musicians. Really had a great show and it was nice to be back.

Show notes;

Barring anything unforeseen, I expect to be able to stick to my normal schedule going forward so join us every Sunday night at 9 pm (eastern time)

While Pete was in chat I hit him up for an interview. Petes always a fun interview, you just never know what the guy is gonna say next. We gotta get the date worked out but it'll be very soon so stay tuned!

Hope to see you folks there!

Updates 11/8/10

Hi everyone.

I was planning my return to the airwaves last night, however something came up and instead of trying a "juggling act" I decided to extend my hiatus to 3 weeks.

So, my return to the blogtv airwaves will be this coming Sunday, November 14th. I have an action packed show with new music, a rant or two, as well as a funny weenie of the week.

Sorry I missed everyone last night, see you all real soon!

Just a Reminder

No show tonight, however I am tentatively planning my blogtv return next week.

Happy Halloween!!

Pete Berwick's new CD "Give it Time"

I usually do critiques and CD plugs during the show (with a follow up blog of course) but with the show currently on hiatus due to my work schedule I really didn't want to wait to talk about Pete's new CD so here I am at 1 in the morning after a long day. So if I babble a bit here please forgive...lol

First let me just say that when I listened to Pete's previous CD (Just Another Day in Hell) I always thought that it would be a tough act to follow. I should have known Pete would pull it off with his latest release that just came out this week. Give It Time makes no apologies with it's honesty while offering encouragement for the future and an ice cold beer along the way. While not a complete departure from Pete's "cowpunk" roots it does offer a more hard rocking punch with a bit of the Berwick sarcasm thrown in for good measure. This CD like all of Pete's music is real life, and nothing like the bubblegum crap the industry likes to try to shove down our throats. This is real music for real people, I would defiantly recommend this and I very strongly encourage anyone who would like to know what real music sounds like to go to http://www.peteberwick.net and pick up a copy.

I have to say that it's because of Pete Berwick that I can ride in the car in peace with my wife. As I've mentioned before my better half and I don't have the same taste in music and traveling together can sometimes be a trial. I like hard rocking music, with a bit of country and blues thrown in, while she likes high paced dance music, rap and too much of the RIAA's spoonfed, homogenized bullshit (sorry princess).

When the "discussion" on what to listen to while driving becomes too intense, and the radio is about to be shut off for good, all I have to do is pop in Pete Berwick.

And we go in peace. We don't agree on most music, but we are both die hard Pete Berwick fans, and given how different our musical tastes are that is saying something.

Show notes;

As I mentioned earlier in this blog my show is currently on hiatus. My work schedule has been insane as regular viewers know happens every year about this time. While not set in stone I am planning my return sometime in November.

See ya'll around the internets!

p.s. My good friend Rob Mazurek sent me an article about some assholes from the RIAA and the major labels saying that Indie artists are "Second Class Citizens" as far as they are concerned. I haven't had time to read it yet, but when I do I'm sure I'll be posting a blog about it, and will talk about it on my next show (whenever that is). Stuff like this really pisses me off, especially after listening to "Give It Time" I think that the independents could teach the majors a thing or two about what real music is. Yeah this is really pissing me off so stay tuned!
