Thu, 28 December 2006 So far this year, we've featured over 80 different bands from Memphis and the Midsouth. To close out 2006, we thought we'd give out a few honorable mentions. We're playing a couple of songs from three area bands and offering up a bit of critical praise on why we enjoyed them.
This is a slightly condensed version of the show for the holidays; this is the "taint" of the season - St. Taint; got big balls?; we don't care how good or bad your recording is as long as the music is fun; feeling the passion; our "millieu?"; Frank talks about webisodes and Beans corrects him - here's some of the reasoning we missed on the actual recording: Don't say webisode because what we're doing here is not called webisodes - these are episodes. People who don't know what their talking about call their podcast installments "webisodes." Per wikipedia a webisode is: "... a webcast episodic video show. It is similar in structure to a television series and usually new episodes are published on a periodic basis through a website or some other internet based medium. Typically shows have short runs (about 5 episodes) but some go on for much longer. Content varies greatly and sometimes the webisodes are just to push some other content (such as an upcoming film)." A good example of a local series of webisodes comes from our buddies at Danger Couch. Other pet peeves; driving in Memphis and trying to make a right-hand turn; Merry Christmas - let me over, bitch; reverse-reverse psychology from Frank's brother; MATA pub crawl; legal contracts from rubbing the Buddha in our studio; hints at what we're planning in 2007; Beans talks about being good people and being in a band - these do not have to be mutually beneficial traits; Beans had a drinky-drinky, but no drinky-pukey; celebrating All Taints Day; Frank offers the olive branch to Ronald in Michigan.
