My Friends Are All Jerks

I had to do one more show before I packed up my microphone and headed east for the summer. I'm leaving my bay side California studio and it's off to the cabin on the lake in Maine. Me, Mrs. Malone, and Baby Hoagie will be farming, gardening, and boating all summer getting in some grandma and grandpa time back on the farm.

This is my latest recording project called, My Friends Are All Jerks. I thought this was really funny back when I did it, but it's not as funny to me now. I have decided to share it with you anyway, and let you decide. The My Friends Are All Jerks Project came from an idea where I write songs that rip on my friends, then post them on myspace. Once I did that, I simply invited my friends to "be my friend" on myspace, and when they check out my profile, there's a song about them waiting right on my profile. It did get a few laughs, emails, and phone calls.

The whole thing was a sort of practical joke on my friends, and I'm sure you have loved ones in your life that bug the hell out of you, so you can relate. Once I had the idea to write a series of annoying songs about my closest friends, I just had to do it. The idea was so funny to me. This project had me laughing for days, just coming up with it. I'm very motivated by mischief.

Thanks to everyone that listens to our SuperFan Show, enjoy your summer. Hoagie ~

Our 50th Show!!!

We're celebrating our 50th podcast here at the Super Fantastic Ultra Show. We're half way to 100!

We start out with a new CD from the New York band, Makar and their tune, Alligator Agents. (If you are in a band, be sure to post us your CD, just click the 'Send Us Your CD' link for details). After the Alligator Agents get off the stage, Mark Harvey and the S.S. MOPEHEAD makes a bit of a wake with, My Orders Take Me Out, a strange and trippy recording from the Flash Animated Adventure. Gwen Snyder and her amazing band Blueberry perform Le Mat (The Fool), which is a very good card indeed. The amazing Dan Hanrahan lends us another version of his song Roderick, and then Equator frightens us all with the manic performance titled, Why Won't You Go Up To The Gallery With Me? Then, if that was not enough, here to show us all how it's really done, Lurch and Holler tell us all about Vertical Stripes.

So there you go. Fifty shows and counting. The megs pile up... can my web host handle it? Will I receive overage bills... I don't know. All I know is I keep making these things. If you enjoy our little show, please do say hello - click here and leave us a message. Enjoy the show:

At Peace

I support peace. I enjoy as much peace as I can get. I wanted to start out this new year with a Podcast that is At Peace, and here it is.

I start out the show with a new CD from Roy Muniz with his peaceful tune, Wasn't It You. Next up Strip Karaoke asks us to Come Closer. Mitchell Vaillant delivers a little Professional Help and mopehead lets us all know that It's About Us. Old Songs brings us The Girls Scattered, Rain Station relaxes a bit with Quiet Morning, and Richard McGhee Star Vocalist does the standard, Leaving On Your Mind.

Peace is a concept, a feeling. Has there ever been peace on earth, or does peace linger only for a moment, from one person to the next. Maybe there isn't enough to go around. Who knows? All I know is that everyone wants it. Get a little of yours, enjoy the show:

Those Crazy Kids!

Now that Baby Hoagie is 2 years old I spend a lot of time running around the house after this crazy kid. I can hardly find the time to cast my pod these days. Then I thought, that's the perfect theme for a podcast posted in December, Those Crazy Kids!

Dan Hanrahan starts the show with Head Cleaner's tune: Josie. Mark Harvey tells us a little about being Older & Wiser. Equator gets out the old 4 track with Happy Home. Portland Maine's Love Spitoon does their inspired version of Strawberry Fields. The Instant Automatons tell us over and over that Gillian is Normal. Lurch and Holler bring us all a lot of Happiness, and then to top it all off Mitchell Vaillant introduces us all to Rumplestiltskin himself.

Enjoy the holidays, and if you're one of those crazy kids that just got a new iPod for Xmas, be sure to add our little show to your iTunes podcast list. Wucka wucka.

Gettin' Witchy

Ahh the cold October air is here, and Halloween is just around the corner. I always find this time of year so exciting. The start of the Holidays before we're all burnt out on them all.

Winds of change are blowing, and Lurch and Holler are telling us all about it as they turn their mighty Wheel. Lurch and Holler is a 2006 CD release by Baltimore artists Michael Willis and E. Liz Downing. Next up Dan Hanrahan pays a weird visit to the Magician's House. Truly witchy indeed. Beth Blood and Ghost Walks gets all earthy with, Mud, Mudder, Muddest. Be sure to check out Beth's Halloween Costume Shop at: Suitsmi.com - it's so cool, really. Then to get creepy I play another cut from the Gorehounds titled: Night of Gore, and it really rocks the house. Equator gets all trippy and strange with, Wave, and then we end the party rocking with Rain Station and the tune, Broom Hopping. Be sure to check out the Halloween Flash Animations by Rain Station at JackOLantern.org.

I can't wait to go out trick or treating with Baby Hoagie again this season. I get to eat all the candy.

Happy Birthday Super Fan!

I'd like to thank all the musicians that have shared their music with us all over the past year. It's been really fun receiving CD's in the post and adding them all to my play list. It's also really nifty to see my stats that tell me that the Super Fantastic Ultra Show is being listened to all over the world. Every day we get hundreds of listeners. Some come from the iTunes directory, others come from Google searches, Yahoo, MSN... so many people searching for the musicians that I play. Many times this show is the only place on line to hear these artists.

If you enjoy this podcast, please tell at least one person today about it. Spread the word. I work so hard compiling these shows together, and I'm doing it all just for the love of the music. I have a gigantic collection of home recordings, band demos, and strange stuff that it's a pleasure to have the chance to share it with others. Please help me out and turn someone on to our image enhanced podcast. The more the merrier.

Today's show has some great tunes by Blueberry, Mitchell Vaillant, Liz Downing, Rain Station, The Gorehounds, and Psycho Semantics. All of whom have contributed a great deal of time and talent to our past year of shows. I also want to be sure to thank everyone else that has sent me their CD, so THANKS!!!
