This early CD by Rufus Wainwright, and sister Martha, is breathtaking. The brother sister team really know how to use their voices together for a very emotional mix. Great pop songs, amazing music, interesting fun lyrics, what more can anyone ask for. If everyone listened to this CD, the world would be a better place. Check out the sample tracks at link above.

Weird Video Movies

Date: 2008.10.15 | Category: Amusement, Movies, Music, Stories | Comment

Archiving one’s own past is a bit weird. Have you ever been moving, packing, or searching for something, and find yourself lost in an old journal, photos, or old letters. Remembering past times, good and bad? Often a simple object will trigger a memory long forgotten, and it can feel really good to take this trip down memory lane.

Much of SuperFan is just that, my old recordings and demo tapes I’ve collected since the 70’s. Beyond the old cassette tapes, I also have a bunch of VHS video tapes that need to be transferred to digital format, and compressed into formats that will play on line. That way everyone can see ‘em!

Wankin’ Woo Woo Productions was my production company’s name back then. It really captured the, “Ah – just do it” improvisational no budget approach our video projects took. I produced a few crappy homemade videos over the years. At that time, having graduated from art school (1986 MICA in Baltimore), most of my friends were arty freaks, and we would all have a lot of fun making video movies together. Our cameras were old, clunky and huge, and took an entire VHS tape inside them. We edited between two VHS decks. Not an easy way to edit when compared to a Mac these days. I’m glad those days of A/B Roll Deck editing are over.

Making the movie was a party, then watching the movie was a reason for yet another party. We had a great time. Now SPAMCAM.com is the happy home of the Wankin’ Woo Woo. I will post entire movies there as I convert them into QuickTime videos for you. If you find a movie amusing, please tell a friend or two. Gather around the monitor, have a party with us.

My Friends Are All Jerks

Date: 2007.05.22 | Category: Podcast | Comment

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!!!

Date: 2007.01.21 | Category: Podcast | Comment

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

Date: 2007.01.04 | Category: Podcast | Comment

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!

Date: 2006.12.13 | Category: Podcast | Comment

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.
