Dave Nicar joins Frank and Beans this week as our spcial in-studio guest!

Sick of the cold weather - thank God the groundhog saw his shadow; how many years of Bill Murray's life would he have had to have spent to learn all the stuff his character did in the movie Groundhog Day?  Marriage augments the time-space continuum; using the phrase "per capita" can add credence to any pseudo-fact you're trying to sell; playing with loops; Esque - love 'em or hate 'em; having 20,000 friends on myspace doesn't make you a success; the MCI crowd:  made up of nothing but "friends and family" (a Dave Nicar-ism); pretentiousness in the local scene is a waste of effort; good cop - bald cop; 45 year old guys need love, too; Britney Spears is bald and Beans confesses that he is Anna Nicole Smith's baby's daddy; who wrote that song? Bed, Bath and Beyond is a part of date night; famous people who live in Memphis; a tricky pause in the middle of songs; the trouble with original artists doing covers; the "Rule of Hootie;" setting a date for the MATA pub crawl - come out and meet Chris (aka Sgt. Shitnuts); Dave brings a gift for Frank and Beans; death and dying brought back around to poop; just who is Jamie Baker? Twisting Dave's arm - so he plays with his teeth; Beans says that we'll play your music, regardless of genre; Frank says he won't play you if you suck; more examples of incorrect grammar this time found in public business; "chick" employee blowing a nut; Beans says another ten cent word:  "colloquial;" promoting Rachel hurley's podcast:  10 Degrees;" remembering the Subteens CD release party; Dave has bows on his guitar that he says are from (and for) his daughter; Reno 911 movie = good times

Singer/songwriter Jobu Babin is our in-studio guest this week!

This was a really fun show!  I'm a bit under the weather, so I'm foregoing the normal show notes for this quick and dirty synopsis of episode 22:  trucker ass and scool bus drivers; tricking people into a vulnerable position to witness about your faith; Jesus is the All-in-One cleaner; using music for social and political ends; Beans night at the Hi Tone included a kick ass performance by Micah Dalton and being surrounded by pretentious talkers; what's up with the audiences in Memphis; Jobu falls for the pheromone spam; Frank expresses what a woman needs to smell like to attract a man; shout out to Christina and Jimbo of Memphis House Concerts

The Abalones join Frank and Beans this week! 

Starting off the show with a little Guinness; shout out to Sgt. Shitnuts; Ashley and Nate from the Abalones bring goodies (and Guinness); Frank has a Super Crack; Beans got a Sharpie tattoo on his ass at the Crash into June (reunion) show last weekend at the Hi Tone; is John Deer a real person?  the Abalones don't ever have to drink and drive because they bring their bed with them everywhere they go; Beans' old futon mattress is a melting pot for new organisms; where are you, Paul?  Stories from the road and eating good; force feeding the drummer; trucker ass = tour butt; planning the down-hill tour to end in a New Orleans swamp; baby Jesus is so cuddly; Frank reads a story about pooping; "bases-loaded," is when all three stalls in the public bathroom are occupied; instead of "date night," try "date rape night;" each podcast is just like hanging out with Frank and Beans and whoever happens to be in the studio with us at the time; Foghorn Leghorn at work; Ashley's impression of John Wayne; get a tattoo of your face on your face, just slightly to the left; Pavlovian response in Sam the dog; the story of Paul, the drummer - a Rock and Role model; call to our listeners in Japan to help Ashley and Nate when they head overseas; we don't talk shit about other people on our show (except for Bill Murray); people don't seem to understand what a shellfish tastes like; some talk about our idea for a "Not Another Local Compilation CD;" 6 degrees of music in Memphis strikes again: Beans was once "Not Another Local Carpet Cleaner" for a while because he lost his job and had to make ends meet - he cleaned Ashley's carpet; more 6 degrees when we unknowingly put a song by Paul's band on the playlist;  time flies when you're having fun on the podcast; plugging Runday nights and the MATA Pub Crawl

Kyle the neighbor joins Frank and Beans this week; happy Waitangi Day to our listeners from New Zealand - and anyone else who needs a reason to celebrate something; getting burned on "opposite day;" male and female pot plants getting it on; Sally T is hot; Memphis artists Augustine, Fireworks Over London and Burney Warren are all working on new recordings; accents and a girl from a place that sounds like "kangaroooo;" John Wayne is from Hollywood, not Texas... and is Jewish; accidental crank calls to Frank's dad; Vietnamese dirty words; Kyle tells a story about a dentist, pubic hair and assuming someone's sexuality based on who they flirt with; new list of friends; rumors in Detroit suggest that Frank's family is related to Alice Cooper; don't you hate it when people try to play "the music quiz" with you; what's up with the Molly Hatchet album covers; kudos to the Memphis Rap Coalition; plugging Runday nights - the time is moving to 6:30pm, still on Monday nights; Crash into June show this Friday, Feb 2

We're glad to make it into February with you!  January was a great month for us, with some cool in-studio guests and the highest number of unique visitors (like you) to our website since we started this crazy thing.  We definitely want you to know how much we appreciate you spending this time with us and hope you'll continue to hang out with us once a week throughout the next several months as we bring you more of the best original music from Memphis, the Midsouth and beyond!  Happy Waitangi Day!

If you read these show notes while you listen, be aware that the static (clipping) heard throughout this show is not in your ipod or computer speakers.  It is brought to you courtesy of our hi-tech gear and recording prowess.  Aside from the static on the line, this is an outstanding episode with our very special, very funny and very talented guests, the local duo (turned trio):  Rae-Ray!

Runday night and a time warp; Rae-Ray (And re') are in the studio with us this week; the secret Memphis superpower band - Slam Heidi-Jay-Rae; more $10 words from Beans; Shaunizzle gave Beans his nickname; Frank's little league baseball analogy; the sordid origin of Rae-Ray; the Joe Lewis fist and Ozzy; Frank's imaginary friend; palindromes are your friend; Frank is starting a band made of of other people who aren't in their old bands anymore - he's going to call it "Defunct;" Frank films some of the in-studio performance; Frank asks the question:  since myspace has a space for "proud parent" or "doesn't want kids," where is the choice of deadbeat parent? why do you have to have kids to "understand?"  Beans makes a horrible segue into the last recorded song; benefit for the Memphis Women's Rugby Club this Friday night, Jan 26, at the Madison Flame; how songwriting can get you tail.

This episode's background music is from the CD "Sings Out" by the killer Memphis band:  Noise Choir!

We're looking forward to recording more shows; hosting more events; thinking up fun things to do with our friends; and most importantly, promoting more great music from Memphis and beyond to a growing world-wide audience!  Be safe and we'll see you next week!

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.
