Stan Sobczak - Stanatron

Message from Stan: I don't like the sound of voices - either singing or talking on telephones. I wish there was a way to remove vocals from records. They must have a computer program that can do this. Stuff like 'Revolver' or 'Around The World In A Day' would be so much better without all the talking, which is what most singing is: talking. The instrumentals on this LP represent what I think the soundtrack of my day would be. Most of the songs are meant to evoke the downstairs part of the house, where I spend a lot of time; but a few are for the upstairs; at least two are for work. Ten tracks in all, you can download the song Stan Flounders, watch the video for Stan's New Moog, and pick up a cd at the label website.

Suicide Bill and the Liquors - Suicide Comes Alive

Want to know what 2 or 3 drunk folks usually endure at a Suicide Bill show? Want to know why the hell Bill won a singer/songwriter award in the Providence Phoenix? "Suicide Comes Alive!" answers all the big questions and raises a few new ones. Eleven new live and semi-alive songs featuring Bill and his guitar with backup shouts and percussion from The Liquors make up their 5th record. Bill's brand of loud-acoustic/alt. rock has never been stronger than it is here. Three of the songs also feature great guitar and harmony-vocal work from the most elusive member of the Liquors, Ray Pruitt. Once again, Suicide and company make a record that sounds good cranked up in your car while you deliver stuff--probably pizza or newspapers. Eleven tracks in all, You can download the track Bill's Alternative Country and pick up a copy of the cd at the label webpage. Have fun on your route.

Steve Agee's Uhhh podcast

During it's first run, this was arguably one of the worst prepared, worst organized podcasts to ever get past ten episodes. Steve Agee's Uhhhh podcast had no agenda and very few surprises. It's pretty common now to hear the hosts of podcasts threatening to stop the show because it's going to poorly, but how many have actually done it? Agee has multiple times and check out the first ten episodes from his original show for proof. (Also, find the episode where he tells the story of Liv Tyler begging him to go to a party with her when he just wants to lay on a futon.) So why was it one of my favorite podcasts? Because Agee is an underdog. He also reminds me of someone I grew up with who is now in jail. He's been dumped on x-mas, played a gay man on The Sarah Silverman Show, and is 6'6" in real life. His back story, originally moving to LA to be a musician before switching to comedy and having his acting dreams temporarily halted by some vengeful improv classmates, instantly makes you root for him. Agee is a one of us. He is obsessed with DeGrassi High, the original long-running Canadian teen soap opera, dedicating at least two full episodes to in depth interviews with original cast members. He also has some surprisingly sprite bass playing skills and the most bizarre of Hollywood buds - Ellen Page and Juliette Lewis, for example. After going just over a year without a new episode, Agee's 'Uhhh' has returned with new episodes in August, featuring an interview with actress and musician Juliette Lewis. Agee is proof that having a podcast should be as easy as turning on a microphone and speaking about your life for a little bit. If it's interesting, talk a lot. If you don't have much going on, cut it short. Hopefully, the guys at Feral Audio can keep him motivated and on a regular schedule of recording.
