As I was giving a last listen to podcast #4 before posting it, I noticed I didn’t quite fade my bed music while A Bit Much is playing. Arrrgghh. That is an unacceptable problem. I can’t fix it until I get home from work so that shit will be posted tomorrow instead of today.
We recorded A Bit Much on Thursday. I finished mixing it Sunday. Let me tell ya, this set by A Bit Much is molten hot stuff. The seem to cover multiple genres of rock in each song. There are many echoes of classic rock’s past, whether it be Brian May’s guitar, Ray Manzarek’s keys, or many others. Now that the music is mixed, I should have the podcast up either tomorrow or Wednesday. Stay tuned bitches!
I was hoping to have a new episode to release this week but I dropped the ball a little bit and didn’t schedule a new band in time. That’s okay though because I’m in deep negotiations with four bands for upcoming shows. By deep negotiations, I mean we’re trying to pick a day when everyone is free. From there we should be able to keep the shows coming pretty regularly. Upcoming guests should include:
A Bit Much,
The Sinbusters,
Ladderlegs,
JDO (that’s right we’re bringing the local hip-hop to the party too)
I take no responsibility if any of these bands fall through but they have all expressed interest. Until the next show comes out, enjoy this video by our first guests ever, the best band in Boston, Streight Angular. These guys are going places, pay attention.
Hey all,
Ted Leo/Rx, the band who provided us with a title for this podcast and is arguably the best band in our fair country has a new album out today, The Brutalist Bricks. I’ve been listening to it on the myspaces and all I can think is that he brought it again. It starts off seeming like he is going to stick to fairly straight forward rock songs but after a couple of tracks he begins veer off into many interesting musical directions. Good stuff! The album title, The Brutalist Bricks, refers to among other architectural monstrosities, Boston City Hall plaza and all its brick lined glory. So there ya go, we’ve come full circle back to Boston.
Enjoy, Ted
The FDA recently issued a report stating that listening to LADDERLEGS is good for your health. Radical liberals are trying add their new album to the Health Care reform as a last minute amendment. We happen to also be trying to get them on the show. Lets hope it happens soon. This song here, Towards Home, is the #1 single in Boston. The number #2 single is this podcast. I’m not sure how those numbers were determined.
Hey all,
You may ask yourself, or maybe you don’t give a shit, who else is speaking the gospel of Boston Rock? How about the Gospel according to Boston Band Crush. Want to know a good local show to go to? Their site is a good place to start. Like unicorns with your punk rock? Once again, they will satisfy these needs.
You might say, “Boston Band Crush is awesome, but I also would like triangulate the vectors representing Boston’s music scene, Kurt Cobain’s death at age 27, and the release of Tron 2?” Well my friend, your very specific request will be fulfiled by the very entertaining Polk Record Information Blog.
We are all about the cool voices in this city.
Don’t be afraid to take a dip in the pool, the waters fine.
Lets get away from that national band stuff (Pavement) and go back to local music. I’m not sure how well we conveyed how cool it was to watch one person (Abram) put together such big sounds using a fairly simple setup. So why don’t you just watch it happen yourself. Eight is a great song that starts off a nice bass-line, builds a kind of ambient tension, and then explodes with drums. Very cool and original music. If you like this video then go back and download our episode with him if you haven’t already. Enjoy!
Hypocrites of the world unite! We talked a lot o’ trash about bands reforming but I’ll be honest, seeing Pavement sounds pretty good. Seeing them at the Roxy or the Paradise would be better than the Agganis Arena but oh well. Don’t make the same mistake I did with Pavement. Go see Streight Angular or Ladderlegs or any of the other great Boston bands now while you can still see them play at a club like the Middle East. That shit will blow up before you know it.
Polk Records is Boston’s label. Run with the cool kids and keep track of what they are up to at http://polkrecordsinformationblog.blogspot.com/
