The 35 Minutes That Sum It Up Best: Motivational Karaoke, "Spring Training Eve"

-
Today while driving around South Austin, my iPod bringed me a blast from me past.  A 35-minute segment of Motivational Karoke, the WESN radio show that Chris Golwitzer and I painstakingly crafted from 2002-2005.  It wunt crafted.  It wunt no pain. Part 5 of "SPRING TRAINING EVE (2/22/04) just seemed to sum up what we were about. It starts with an interview with Ted Leo after he blew out his voice in Champaign and I finished the singing for him.  That ends with a clip of Babe Ruth with a fake swear word beeped in. We played Ted Leo quite a bit. A new song that's old now. A lengthy, lie-riddled microphone break, back-selling a lot of things that we used to play.  A tongue lashing of the DJs on before us. An explanation of what Google is and how to spell it, followed by the futile spelling of our very long impossible find website. We were doing Dream Warriorisms then because we were on from 12-2am at that time.  We went retro and pulled out...

You Know... I Forgot I Had a Blog. For That, I Give You the Re Re Re Mastering of an Album.

-
I had remastered this on a computer donated to me by my very good friend, Alex Moore, of LUNCHROOM AUDIO in Buda, TX.  Naturally, as will happen on a computer from 2005, I eventually couldn't boot it up.  I bought a thing, 3 years later, that made it possible for me to retrieve the only .WAV version of the album... the whole recording session, actually... what there ever was.  It was partially recorded living in Chicago and partially recorded after moving to Austin.  It's kinda about the move, but more about a change in life.  Deal with it.

Long story short, before I re-release it to all those streaming places that pay me a partial penny per download, just download it for free... but the way I intended it is best... that is as a whole album.

Back in the day we called that a "concept album."  There was a race of people that had attention spans of 45+ minutes... them was the target audience.

Relax... I broke it up into tracks, too.

PS.  I have another album ready for release that is weird and likely difficult for any of you to listen to.  Just warning you.  It's yet another annoying concept album, called "HOAX."  It features me, Matthew Marquardt, his non-musician brother, two other non-musicians and my very talented Chihuahua, June.  She's wonderful.  Stay tuned.

You can find EarScum material all over the place now, but not Instagram.  I'd need another hand and day of the week. However , being audio based, and now on Spotify , you can listen to a stable of material via the EARSCUMS PLAYLIST .  If you're on the thing, click that.  At this time there are releases by ArsoNick Scum , Coldcock Jones (with and without The Shithawks ) and Semicids .  Coming soon: Super88! If you'd rather get your music from Bandcamp , that's fine with me.  Get tracks and albums unavailable elsewhere for cheap.  You can pay extra if you want, it goes into expenses, not drugs.  See Coldcock Jones , Semicids , Super88 and very soon, a BUNCH of old ArsoNick Scum numbers. I think whatever you listen to music on... iTunes, Amazon, Napster, etc ... it's there.  Look it up. If Twitter is your game, you can find me there @EarScum  or mess with @ColdcockJones or me directly @309ROSEMAN .  You can even follow our baseb...

WTF... Let's Release An Album!

-

EarScum reluctantly announces the release of COLDCOCK JONES' "WTF LP."  A collection of unreleased and/or instrumental and/or experiments.  Get the tracks for 50 cents each or the whole album for $1.  You can pay more, if you like, which is fine with me, but I won't judge. Some of these tracks are with the world famous SHITHAWKS, some with world famous ALEX MOORE of LUNCHROOM STUDIOS in Buda, TX and some are just me.  Of COURSE there is a trilogy with my man, DANNY SEVERSON (aka Clayton "Dirty" Sanchez). Just go check it out on Bandcamp.com. GO THERE VIA THIS CLICKY LINK!

FlyTV, Adam, Mustaches.

There was a brief moment in my (309) life, right near the very end, when Dylan Stanford started documenting things and he made us look like legit acts. I saw a flier for “FlyTV” at the Normal Theater once and it caught my attention, but I didn’t check it out.  6 months later it was back and I went to check it out.  First scene: “Metal Head Ed”, aka Eddy Polivka.  Hooked. Tyson Markley (Killowatts, Analog Saves the Planet, Fantastic Plastics) had told me that this guy had contacted him about filming Analog Saves the Planet.  I introduced myself to Dylan and his partner in crime, JJ.  We then proceeded to have fun for the next year. Adam Widener came into my life around the same time at the East Peoria American Legion Hall.  His friend, and I cannot remember his name, but he’s dancing around in the video, told me he’d gotten his hands on one of my albums and that he and Adam were digging it. Awake, I don’t care at all, but asleep, in my dreams, everyone i...
