Reaching for Lucidity Indie Music Blast Episode 422 is going full throttle featuring the tunes of Electric Frankenstein! Enjoy!

The tunes on the show today are Electrify Me and Coolest Little Monster

Keep checking back for more goodies from RfL in 2012. We have graphic novels, more radio, and some animation heading your way. Don’t miss any of it.

Thank you for hanging out here while RfL had a bit of downtime over the last 18 months. Now, get ready as we ramp things back up.

2012, the new “Year of RfL Productions!”

Cheers everyone.

It is a short show to check in on this Friday, October 21st. We have The Substitutes for your enjoyment.

The Substitutes were a Bay Area band that were active in the heyday of podcasting. Unfortunately, they are no longer with us as a band, but they left behind some great tunes.

Today we are playing “Taken a Lifetime.” This was one of the tunes that made them members of the RfL Royal Court.

I also talk about why it is so hard to get shows out these days, how I am trying to get the passion back for podcasting, and my entry into the sport of boxing.

I did this show fast and on a whim. I was not monitoring while I recorded and the show mic was a bit hot. Sorry for the sound in the spoken parts. I will monitor next time.

Enjoy the show. Cheers!

Today’s episode, number 420, is a quickjabs artist spotlight on the Royal Court members Waiting for Decay.  This set is another nostalgic look back and these tunes are from the 2008 period.

Remember, this coming Saturday we are having a full Coffee House episode featuring special guest co-host Effie! Don’t miss it.

Also, Happy Birthday Mick! Jagger that is. Keep those freakin lips singing!

Songs on the show today: Self Destruct and Mask or Face

Today we have an Indie Music Blast Quickjabs spotlight on the UK band Oswald, episode number 419. This show focuses on their 2007-8 period. A look back of sorts.

Big news, next week we have a special co-host for a Coffee House episode. The co-host will be Effie, or Princess Faith, or just Faith. Does not matter which name you choose, it will be a fun show!

Now on to Oswald! Songs on the show today are Middle Boy and Love.

Cheers!

Today’s show is all about driving rock, and how much a certain Oscar buzzing movie sucks. We feature acts such as The Evidence, When Summer’s Gone, Gotham City Mashers, August Ruins, Jsin, and with one of our five ultimate show closers, The Supersuckers.

That brings me to apologies to Gotham City Mashers, I mispronounce the band several times during the show as Gothic City Mashers. I had a typo in my show notes. Oops. I always have my mistakes, it is one way to define me.

Yes, I did go see a movie yesterday when I was supposed to be doing this show. Trust me, I paid for it. I will talk about my movie disappointment from a major Oscar front-runner.

The show also has our celebrity birthdays, some facts for Jan 23rd through history, and more.

Enjoy the show!

We get a bit nostalgic in this episode, both in memories and in production.

Caution, this episode is recorded loud. As I said above, we are going retro in production. This show, and shows from now on are going to be recorded real time, just like the old days. That means the production will not be as slick, and will have warts, but the shows will come out faster.

I will need a few episodes under my belt to work out the kinks such as the levels being too hot and getting better at punching in and out and such. Hang in, .

We are looking at some bands that were big at the start of podcasting, some of which have not survived. We also take a look at the future with new RfL favorite, Mehgan Morrison.

Enjoy!

Music on the show.

Brother Love–Sick of Chicks

Meghan Morrison–People Like You

Paper Boy Jack–Scream

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds–Bring it on and Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!

Great music, eclectic set list, celebrity birthdays, news of RfL, and a butt clinching idiots story that ends with the coveted bitchslap award.

This episode is for the launch of Janus 4-14′s new EP which is available on itunes right now. Get over to the Janus 4-14 site for details. This band has deep podcasting roots as Chad Barnard is the “ME” in the “Me and the Bean” show. One of the pioneers.

We also bring back the “Idiots all Around Us” segment for a 25 year old Florida man that does not realize the buttocks area in not a safety deposit box. For more details on this latest RfL Bitchslap award winner, listen to the show or check out the news story.

We have news of other RfL projects such as scoring a soundtrack for novelist Jessika Council’s latest book and an animated “Pudgies” adventure for my god daughter, celebrity birthdays, and SJ.

Wow, eh?

Great stuff!

And it feels great to be back!

It is the RfL  Indie Music Blast! It is episode #411, Rock with a Snarl!

We have some great rock tunes from bands that call themselves pop-punk, rock, and hard rock, but all perform with a rock-n-roll snarl.

It is all attitude!

We  have some great new tunes from our Royal Court members Rocket City Riot, the return of Stupid Celebrity Crap, Celebrity Birthdays, and more. It is a packed show.

Rocket City Riot have two albums coming at you. For their 10th anniversary, they are re-recording their first album. How cool is that. We have Rocket Launcher from that album. For the second release, it is all new and tentatively titled “Saturday Night Angels.” We have “Where We Begin” from that release. It is great when we get new stuff from the Royal Court!

In the return of the Stupid Celebrity Crap segment, we have some goodies for you. Billy Mays liked the coke, and we don’t mean soft drinks, at least that is what his autopsy says. The Abdul, as in Paula, is being courted by both the dancing reality shows. Who would have thought she would work again? And just to round it out, Joaquin Phoenix is still batty, and decides to go shopping. Fun stuff.

Also, Shonen Knife is touring the States in Sept and October, how cool is that? Get the tour dates HERE!
