Listen in this week for explanations of Mark E. Smith and his highly successful “band management” skills, Brian Eno and the art of the plastic performance, and why George would have been John if he’d only been in the Monkees. Got it?

Good! Let’s ROCK!

Gratitudinous!

inmyroom — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 13:06:58 +0000

Watch out for falling satellites, because this podcast tempts fate and declares itself content. In a world filled with strife and heartache what could inspire your normally despondent podcaster to such operatic heights of up with people sloganeering? VACATION, that’s what. 9 days of sleeping in and long walks in the woods with the Bunny. Hooray!

But before the vacationing begins let’s get gratitudinous for the big heaping slice of rock and roll meatloaf. Don’t forget to tip your waitress because it’s time to ROCK!

The Beatles are back! Oh, sure, half of them are dead, but far be it from Apple Corporation to let a good marketing campaign go to waste. Do you think you’re old Beatles CD’s sound like crap? Well there’s new crap to buy, and damn it, warm up your credit card because time’s a wastin’! The MONO box set is already sold out, hundreds of thousands of Beatle nerds have already beaten you to the punch, do you want to be the only one at the next Star Wars convention that hasn’t heard the mono mix of “Piggies”? I didn’t think so.

inmyroom — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 17:54:09 +0000

It’s time to party like it’s 2006, because your podcaster has just discovered a phenomenon that swept the world while he slept through the first 6 years of the 21st century, YACHT ROCK! It’s low budget (like this podcast), it’s ridiculous (ditto), and it never lets the facts get in the way of a good laugh.

Since as we all know, everything is about me, now that I’ve discovered “Yacht Rock” I force it on you with lots of surprises (Yacht Rocker Michael McDonald singing with Grizzly Bear, yes!) along with plenty of the cynicism and rock and roll that has made this show a favorite of convicts the world over.

Rattle those chains and shake them bones, ’cause it’s time to rock!

inmyroom — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 02:56:02 +0000

I’m back! Despite my dire pronouncements of retirement and sobriety, your host has returned, clear eyed and fleet of tongue and ready to rock ye.

The subject of this THEME show debut is AMERICA, the good ol’ U.S.A., the stars and stripes and all the things that make us the most beloved country on the planet. How can you not love the home of guns and bitches and bling! Try as might, you cannot. America is speaking…and you must listen.

Throw your hands in air and bow down, cause it’s to rock it Uncle Sam style! You are IN MY ROOM (again)!

Billie Jean (Acapella)

inmyroom — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 02:22:15 +0000

Back when Michael Jackson ruled the world I was deeply entrenched in punk and it’s many indie permutations and his presence meant nothing to me. I figured Michael was just a fey James Brown and a student of the great Quincy Jones and not really worth the time of serious dude like myself. That is until I saw him on the “Motown 25TH Anniversary Special”. Holy shit, this kid was like the most amazing thing I’d ever seen. You couldn’t just hit youtube and watch something a thousand times in a row back in the 80’s. You couldn’t tape television. If you missed it, it was gone until the networks were kind enough to show it again. Watching it I felt the same shock that I did when I saw Iggy on “The Midnight Special”-smearing peanut butter on his chest and taunting the audience. This shit was very real and very cool.

I bought Michael’s records and tryed my damndest to like them, but with the exception of “Billie Jean” it just wasn’t my thing. I could hear the greatness, but I just couldn’t dig it. It was kid’s music.

Michael was 50, just like me, and I wouldn’t trade my life for his for all the gold records at Motown. Being famous seems like a bad deal, and nobody suffered more at the hands of our love than Michael. I figure he’s peaceful now, one way or the other.

Here’s an acapella version of “Billie Jean” that really shows what a set of pipes this dude had. Be cool, Michael.

a punk period of transition!

inmyroom — Tue, 05 May 2009 15:57:01 +0000

Though the podcast is typically not the place for theological discussions, be prepared for fall on your knees praises at the altar of Elvis as your host goes back to the church for the first time in many years!

Hallelujah, let’s rock and roll!

New show early next week!

inmyroom — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 12:35:27 +0000

I see you!

inmyroom — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 11:17:00 +0000

Despite the implied anonymity of the Internet, your host has found that you, and by that I mean YOU, are not that hard to find. After just a tiny bit of Internet hocus pocus I realize that I can not only discover where you are listening, I can sneak into your house and eat your Chinese leftovers while you listen to the show. Man, the Internet is great! Oh and by the way, you’re out of milk.

Pull up the blinds and wave at the satellite, cause it’s time to rock!

Awww, it’s a baby podcast!

inmyroom — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 01:48:23 +0000

It’s a rock and roll love child this week so prepare yourself for soiled diapers ( I really had to go!) and strange suckling sounds (i’ve run out of beer again!) In addition I point out tell tale signs that a man wants to be alone (like hand lotion by the recliner), explain why birth is not nearly as horrifying as previously described and finally I challenge Prince to a duel. Sounds like fun, dunnit?

So like John says, take off your knickers and let’s go! It’s time to rock!

You Gotta Move!

inmyroom — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 14:26:11 +0000

Is anything more joyful than spending a night drinking with friends and listening to really loud rock and roll? Not for your podcaster, there’s not. After last weekend’s DAN AUERBACH/HACIENDA show at the legendary Nightclub 9:30 your podcaster has spent the week reliving the buzz of having his pants sway in the atomic blast of bass that blew the dust off every swingin’ dick in the club. CD’s are just postcards, but live rock and roll is taking a trip. I need to get out more.

Bust out your guitars and bongos and let’s have a HOOTENANNNY, cause it’s time to rock!

Rock stars die, dude, that’s a fact. This week we take a look at the recently departed and discuss the plans for the sprinkling of your podcaster after he shakes off this mortal coil. We can only hope that he buys the farm mid-podcast. That would really cool.

In addition there’s new music by Iggy Pop and the BPA, Glasvegas, The Plastic Billionaires (covering Brian Eno!) plus lots of wacky collaborations and plenty of the classics that have made this podcast an awesome time waster in Fiji.
