We have Dangermaker, Roosevelt Radio, and Loftin giving us same great music.

We also have a bit of Feb 8th history and celebrity birthdays. Also, I talk a bit about our new show, Behind the Scenes which is at the blog. This show talks about RfL, the web, and all kinds of other stuff. Check it out at Eban Crawford dot Com.

Roosevelt Radio

Enjoy the show!

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.

We are going to hear from Ari Shine, Rotoscope, The Substitutes, The Genders, and The Distillers. That is some great music.

Music on the Show

Ari Shine-Try A Little Harder

Rotoscope-All That’s Left and Drive

The Substitutes-Taken a Lifetime

The Genders-When I Grow Up I Want to Be a Stoner

The Distillers-LA Girl

Oh yes, it is the Juggernaut, which is normally Hard Rock and Metal Friday, but this week it is Hard Rock and Metal Saturday. We have music from around the globe to kick your ass today.

We have bands from around the world for your ears. From The Netherlands, we have Chiraw and Non Devine. From California, we have favorites In Silence. From Nevada, we have royal court members Darque Carnival. From Washington, we have Lucid. And from Norway, we have K9!

That is a lot of great hard rock and metal music! Seriously!

But you know it would not be RfL 2.0 if that is all we offered you. We have our look at celebrity birthdays as well as trivia from Jan 24th. How about the first beer can? That is interesting, right? How about the gold rush? What about the product that got us all saying “anal Leakage?” Even the Eskimos, pies, and indirectly, Steven King, play into all of this.

Sj takes the reigns to tell us what happened to the stars of the movie, “The Breakfast Club”, and even confuses Judd Hersch with Judd Nelson. What an idiot! And just for kicks, he also let’s us know just why Andy Dick is, well, a total dick.

That is a lot to fit into a show, but we do it, mistakes, mis-takes, and all.

It may not always be pretty, but it is always fun.

Cheers!

Music on the show!

Lucid – Sirens

Non Divine – Visions

Darque Carnival – Down Driven

In Silence – To Walk Away

K9 – Fraction of Time

ChiRaw – Domination

We are back, and we are starting with an artist spotlight quickjabs, episode #403. Thgis is all about Richard Seypka from Canada, who just happens to be the perfect match for our long awaited return, and first show of 2009.

We are returning with our first full length episode, including SJ, on Friday as we have to come back with a Juggernaut. Until then, we will have one more Quickjabs.

Also, on Thursday, I am hosting the Inside919 Business Network January Social. It will be a red carpet kind of broadcast live on the net. If you want to catch it, I will be posting info soon. It will be available on the Inside919.com front page. It should be a lot of fun!

It is great to be back in action.

We missed ya!

This is the Reaching for Lucidity 2008 Halloween Special!

This is going to be fun.

SJ starts things off today. It is fitting as he is a 500 year old red demon boy form the 5th dimension. The music today is all kinds of spooky.

We hear from Calabrese which opens and closes the show. Never so True brings up zombies, while monsters are the theme from Never so True, Matchbook Romance, The Hoodlum Circus, and The Powerknobs.

See, spooky!

SJ and I talk about the history of Halloween, Rfl style. We hit on the spooky Halloween celebrity birthdays. We even have some trivia for you that all happens on October 31. To top things off, SJ tries the toxic punch that is brewing through the show, with an extreme reaction.

Demons, eh?

Enjoy the show, and have a great Halloween.

Cheers,

Eban and SJ

Music on the show

For the first time ever, RfL goes into a trance, the trance stylings of DJ and Producer Makrolon, that is.

Yep, Trance.

It is episode 401, and I thought it would be a good time to try something different. Since it is a Quickjabs today and not a full show, I figured why the hell not.

The show is all about DJ and Producer Makrolon from Croatia. He is a classically trained musician and is just at ease with Mozart as with the electronic scene.

Still, no Mozart in sight today. All trance.

These songs are remixes and reworked pieces from Makrolon’s impressive catalog.

Also, we hear from our buddy Brent Bradley. He sent a great audio clip for the 400th episode, but I got the email after I recorded the show, so we hear it today. Brent is the host of Podshow Radio, which is one of the best music shows on the net. Get over there and subscribe!

Songs on the show

Inner Smile – make a Change (Makrolon Radio Mix)
Estive – Fame (Makrolon Reworked)
Digital Nature and Manuel le Saux – pretender (Makrolon Remix)
Dj Merlin and Dj C Bass- Trancemission (Makrolon Remix)

Enjoy!

We have music from In This Moment, Poisonblack, Into Eternity, and Attackhead. We are going to send you into the weekend with the best metal and hard rock stuck in your head.

Would you want it any other way?

I thought not!

No big celebration today, just great tunes. Again, would you want it any other way?

Again, I thought not.

We also have our regular segments, celebrity birthdays, trivia, and finally back from vacation, it is the return of SJ!

Yeah, you could have probably lived without that one, but we take the good with the bad, eh? (Yes, I will have to deal with SJ after writing that)

So, kick back, buckle your seat belts, and get ready for some brain scrambling music. It would not be a proper Friday at RfL otherwise.

Cheers!

Eban and SJ

Music on the show

In This Moment: Forever

Poisonblack: HateLove and Left Behind

Into Eternity: Splintered Visions and Time Immemorial

Attackhead: Waste of Life and Lead the Blind

We are actually going to hit episode 400 on Friday as planned. But first, let’s take care of this show.

We are focusing this quickjabs on two incredibly talented ladies, and longtime royalty at Reaching for Lucidity. We have two songs each by Karmyn Tyler and Cheryl B. Engelhardt. And yes, that makes for a great show.

Karmyn Tyler by Micheal Dambrosia

Cheryl B. Engelhardt

As you may be able to hear in this episode, I am feeling a lot better than the last show. I am hoping to be 100% by the Juggernaut on Friday. SJ is also chomping at the bit to get back into the action.

Hey, the little demon boy is feeling left out.

Another thing you may notice is this Wednesday Coffee House is coming out on a Thursday. Well, the show was recorded on time, my sites at Dreamhost were unfortunately going down, then back up, then down again yesterday. This website highway to hell was keeping me from posting yesterday. Hey, one day late is not too bad, eh. We have had worse here.

I normally love Dreamhost, but lately, things have been a little wonky. (actually that is not totally true. Dreamhost has offered the best hosting experience I have ever had online. I, with no hesitation, endorse their services)

Well, enjoy the show and be back here for 400!

Songs on the Show

Well, being sick is not fun.

But, I am on the mend right now. I am still having a lot of trouble with my left ear. I can barely hear out of it, and as a media producer – an audio guy to be more specific, this is not a good thing. I may be making a trip to the doctor soon.

The trip to Cali for the orientation for my new job went great, other than the cold. The new position is more than I thought and I am being given a long leash to prove the power of social media to drive business. I love situations like this, it is up to me to make or break it, and that is cool.

For those that do not know, I am the E-commerce Director for the Wake Forest branch of Certified Golf. So now let’s see just how many heads I can blow in this position. My boss in Wake Forest and the big guys in Cali seemed to scratch their heads about my ideas, but are excited enough about what I said to let me go and prove my points.

How is that for an adventure?

Well, that is my update for now. Look for a new Wednesday Coffee House and show #400 on Friday. Yes, it will be a Juggernaut, and it will rock hard! Also, check out the Monday show, which features indie artist and podcaster, Cush.

Cheers,

Eban

Well, being sick is not fun. That is one thing I think most people will not argue about. Being sick while having to fly all day is hell, not only for the sick, but for all those surrounding the sick.

Luckily, I am on the mend right now. I am still having a lot of trouble with my left ear. I can barely hear out of it, and as a media producer – an audio guy to be more specific, this is not a good thing. I may be making a trip to the doctor soon.

The trip to California, the orientation for my new job, went great. Other than the cold, that is. The new position is bigger than I thought and I am being given a long leash to prove the power of social media to drive business. (or to hang myself, but we know that won’t happen, right?) I love situations like this, it is up to me to make or break it, and that is cool. I am the only person I trust 100% at least 45 % of the time.

For those that do not know, I am the E-commerce Director for the Wake Forest branch of Certified Golf. So now let’s see just how many heads I can blow in this position. My boss in Wake Forest and the big guys in California seemed to scratch their heads about my ideas, but are excited enough about what I said to let me go and prove my points. It seems like us tech types speak a foreign language at times. At least that is what I am told.

How is that for an adventure?

Well, that is my update for now. Look for a new Wednesday Coffee House and show #400 on Friday. Yes, it will be a Juggernaut, and it will rock hard! Also, check out the Monday show, which features indie artist and podcaster, Cush.

Cheers,

Eban

Anyway, can’t let illness block the show, so today we have an artist spotlight on Cush. Not only a great indie artist, but also a great podcaster that has been around since the early days.

So enjoy as we keep moving to #400!

Cheers,

Eban

Add to that our trivia section and our celebrity birthdays, and you have a darn good bit of entertainment today! We even have a special, in house, birthday today. It is digital assistant/princess Faith’s birthday today. So, we should quit typing and get to preparing.

Cheers,
