005 Podcast One

M went nuts!

He took the TV tracks, shifted some of them around, added a couple of new pieces, threw in a few old pieces, found another hosting site, signed up using my name, and threw together an actual podcast! That's right, folks! Forty two entire minutes of StashCasket goodness for you and your very own ears!

Take that, innernet!

EDIT:

M just e-ed me this:

"Hey, Pooky!

You might want to mention that the podcast is one of those concept deals. I don't want to explain everything but it takes place in a fantasy future. A future that's kind of like our past, all retro and shit. There's all this radiation and people are told to stay home unless they work for TV repair or whatever, right? So people just sit around and watch TV all the time. It's interactive and they shop with their TV's too.

There are some pirates though. They jam the signals and attempt to broadcast the truth in short bursts.

As it turns out it's all just a plot to make people watch more TV and buy more useless crap. There's no radiation at all. Then Criswell points out that OUR future, that is our REAL future, can be anything we want it to be.

It's a mind movie, dude!

And some of it's out of order.

Sure. It might not be as great as "The Wall" or anything but I still think it came out pretty cool."

Yup! I gotta agree with the man. It's pretty cool!

004 - TV (or Ought To Be)

At first this was going to be an EP. But the guys in the band got all hot and bothered about the idea of making a podcast. We signed up for an account at a podcast site, pulled this beauty together, and couldn't get it to upload. Not being the type to take such matters lightly we figured what the hell, ripped off an idea from the great Joe Jackson album called "Big World", and turned it into an album with three sides.

Hey, kids!

Remember sides?

I didn't think so.

The reason for the separate sides is this: the podcast site will post your show for free if you allow them to insert an ad or two into it. Yeah. We're a bunch of cheap bastards and given a choice we tend to choose free if we can get it. So we broke the tracks up into three sets, leaving two spaces for the ads to be inserted. You'll be able to tell where the ads should have went when you hear our humble host, the amazing Hugh Betcha saying that we'll be right back. We hemmed, hawed, shook fists, and threw bottles and cans at each other trying to decide which crappy old radio ads to use to fill in those gaps so that this digital version would have a complete feeling of how the actual podcast should have sounded. In the end we gave up and just left things the way the are. If you have any old radio ads laying around on your hard drive go ahead and insert them yourself. It's not like we're being paid for this or anything, okay?

Anyway, we'd just like to let you know that we're very excited with this collection of tunes. We haven't been doing this very long but we're pretty sure this is the best set we've ever done. This is the one, gang! The one that everything we have done before and everything that we will ever do in the future will be judged by! Slap these tunes on at a party and you'll instantly become the coolest person in the room! You'll be the first person in your crowd to have been into StashCasket! You'll be a god and/or goddess among your peers! Sex, money, and even more sex will be yours for the taking! No need to thank us! Just bask in the glow of your wonderfulosity and be kind to your underlings.

Is it a concept album about the evils of television?
Is it a manic ode to the wonders of the great glass screen?
Is it a bunch of tunes that have no actual meaning?

We'll leave that up to you.

003 - Turning On (preview)

J played us a new track that he threw together Thursday night. We like it a lot. While we were talking about it J suggested that the collective do a concept album about television. H and M weren't all that hot on the idea until it was decided that:

A) It would be an EP rather than a whole album (or CD if you'd rather get anal about it).

B) H and M can do whatever they like just so long as it is related to television in some form or another and they don't have to rush or sweat to get it done.

C) J, who did the TV-esque intro track on the first EP, should lay off the television pieces for awhile.

Ah, democracy! You have to love it!

Here's J's track for your listening pleasure. Consider it a preview of an upcoming EP. Which, I guess, it is.

The track is as follows:

01 - Turning On - 3:51

002 - So Sexy (single)

Just a quick one. Just for laughs.

M showed up last night and after some beer and combustibles had us listen to this track. We were on the floor and felt we just had to make it available for you. It seems he had taken track 12 of this and layered it atop some old library music that he had on his hard drive. It's some pretty funny stuff.

The second track is a rejected cut from the first EP. No great shakes but we figured we might as well include an odd B side.

The tracks are as follows:

1) So Sexy - 2:14
2) Listening - 3:00

CAUTION! NOT FOR KIDS!
