Here are the two Signals Midwest Commercials that I wrote and voiced for the New LP by Signals Midwest called Lattitudes and Longitudes. Phil Chevron produced these commercials, and they appeared on SLTM (the Podcast). Please feel free to spread these around or use them on your podcast.

I once broke Tom Arrico’s CD over my friends head. Here’s how that adventure started…and ended.
Back at Lakeland College, Mattoon, IL, we would get lots of CD’s and Albums to listen to and play on the air at WLKL 90 FM. Not, a ton, but probably about 5 to 10 a month. I loved it, new music to sift through and enjoy. I took it upon myself to listen to everything that came through that door. Big mistake.
One day a CD came to the station from a guy named Tom Arrico. It was a self titled release. I took the time to look at the press photos and read the bio. It didn’t sound too appealing, but I never judged the music by how dumb the artist looked.
I asked my buddy Marc Hendral to listen to the CD with me, he enjoyed hearing new music as well. Let me tell you, it was worse than auditory rape. It was horrendous. Marc and I still listened to the whole CD, four songs I believe. After the last song was done, I took the CD out of the player and asked Marc “Can I break this piece of shit over your head?” . Of course he agreed and shards of Mr. Arrico’s CD were laying all over the production rooms floor.
And that’s how the phrase “Break it over Hendral’s Head” was born.

Below are three new commercials I wrote for the Big Bullet Records band Prison Book Club and their self title CD. Give them a listen, I love doing the commercials, the goofier the better. I would be happy to do a commercial for your band, contact me, I’ll post it on the site and put the commercial in a new episode of SLTM (the Podcast).

In what has become a unsettling continuation of events, my last two attempts at dating have ended with someone screaming and a broken digit. I’m not sure I can go on.

I was working for a Country Music Radio Station back in the mid 1990′s when I bumped into quite possibly the biggest asshole in the music industry I have ever met. He had a record out at the time, and he was doing a station to station promotion. He would stop by a bunch of small to medium Country music stations and talk to their morning show, hoping they would play his record. It was kind of quaint, in a Coal Miner’s Daughter sort of way.
I was working overnights at the time, and the end of my shift bumped up against the “Rick and Chick” morning show. I know, it was as horrible as it sounds. Anyway, I usually stuck around to help get things set up, and this Country Music Artist pops in. At first he seemed like a nice guy just trying to get a break. I soon found out that was not the case.
Let me just shorten the story and say this, Jason D. Williams not only slapped me across the face, and poured a cup of scalding coffee on my lap but he got our receptionist pregnant. I think he was drunk and sleep deprived, but that in no way excuses his behavior. I saw Williams on his “Waitin’ on Ice” tour two months later, he never apologized. The scaring on my crotch finally healed. What didn’t heal was my hatred for Jason D. Williams.
Now on with the show:

Here are three commercials I wrote and produced for my podcast. These were played during the best of 2011 shows, Part 1 and 2. I enjoyed the SHALLOWS EP so much I wanted to share the love and tell people about it. Please feel free to post these commercials wherever you want, just do me one favor. GO BUY THE SHALLOWS EP on Error Records.
Here is the second part of the Year End Best of Show. Quickly, I had to redo it because at the 20 minute mark the computer program crashed and burned the original file. This is a bit long, 55 minutes, but I wanted to fit in a lot of music that we found exciting and good this year.
Please Note: The Black Skies are not on this podcast even though ON THE WINGS OF TIME was a great release and one of our favorites in 2011. We wanted to hold off and play a song and review in the new year. It’s a great CD/Digital Download, do yourself a favor and buy a copy. Second, Maidens, the metal band from Wisconsin is not on the show either, and that is only due to the fact that we didn’t want to overplay their 4 Song EP SHALLOWS. It’s a really solid metal album and we enjoy the hell out of it, but didn’t want to overplay them or take away from the fact that you should buy this Cassette/Digital Download.
Thanks for listening in 2011. More New shows coming soon. Lots of new music to share
Thanks

This did not start out to be a two part special for the year end Best of Show. About Thirty Four minutes in, I realized that there were a lot of bands I wanted to share and talk about that I found amazing in 2011. So I’ve split it up into two parts. Episode 130 here features music from Broadcaster, Run,Forever , Rvins, and Hull. Part Two will post later in the week. So enjoy this first part, and part two when it posts later, these really are some of the best releases of the year.
It’s been a good year podcast wise, well music wise. Podcast wise it’s been a real shitter cause I’m nowhere close to the 2 million listener goal I set myself at the beginning of 2011. About 2 million short.
I’ll pass along my thank you’s on the next episode or part two of this debacle. Thanks for listening.

I recently bumped into French Stewart at the Shakey’s Pizza in Des Moines, Iowa. He was very apologetic. “Let me start by saying, I was sure you would never see my blog, and second, I never meant to hurt you”. We talked for over three hours, and in the end we patched things up. I mean how many times in life can you right a wrong and smooth things over with a person that was close to you? It’s tough, believe me. It’s even harder when those hurtful words become public. I forgive you French Stewart, but cross me again and I’ll break your break your french manicured fingers.
