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...

Semicids Be Alive... on Bandcamp.

-




Ahead of the Feb. 11th digital release of “Recess,” the 1989 album by Bloomington/Normal punk rock band, Semicids, it has... well, been released on Bandcamp.com.  If you haven’t already (and I’ve already pimped this to many of you) go check it out.  Listen to tracks for free and feel free to purchase the album and support the release of more albums to widespread digital availability, and perhaps a future vinyl release.

Purchase any of the tracks for $1 each, or for $7, get the entire album as well as two bonus tracks that comprise the bootleg recording of Semicids live at a 1990 house party in Normal, as well as a few photos and the gratification that you contributed to the cause.

EarScum on Spotify, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Russian pirating sites, etc.

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...
