chris and i will load our gear onstage at homer’s coffeehouse tonight to play surf, swing, and spy tunes… we call ourselves THE SUBS. the first time we used that name, we were substituting for another band that didn’t show up. nobody else called dibs on it, so we kept the name. personally i’d like to sell shirts with our name on the front and all the names we discarded on the back:
the gary coleman lanterns
dana plato’s republic
two bullets for ringo
todd bridges of madison county
the vigil aunties
have you seen my socks?
the bair nairs
pray for death

if it weren’t for co-workers, family members, and assorted friends with more tech savvy than me, i would be a proverbial caveman poking my computer with a leg bone. thanks to danny williams, i discovered grooveshark, a super cool online music source. so far i’ve made playlists for ELO, roots reggae, and songs for my wife, jenny (marc broussard, kid rock, supertramp, etc.). we have a transmitter hooked up to the computer at our house so we can broadcast to all the indoor radios, and at work the computer is hooked up to the sound system.
i love technology.

i just changed an audio plugin that lets me/you/everyone play, pause, and/or download all the mp3′s on this blog. i installed half a dozen ones that didn’t work before finding the perfect one. i am so jazzed about this that i explained it to my wife… who was happy, but not as thrilled as i was.

a homer’s customer was wearing a vintage batman t-shirt today, and it made me think of all the times i heard burt ward say “holy (random choice of words)!”

ps – on a separate note, i’m aware that the embedded mp3′s are acting weird (sometimes two start at the same time). i’ve got a repair man looking into it.

the third installment of dr. sleepwalk and captain fuzzbot’s replay locomotive is HERE! on the podcast/show, danny and i talk about cyndi lauper, debbie harry, joe strummer, and a handful of classic rock bands that influenced us.
show 3

had some free time this afternoon to be part of a pinball tournament at thunderball amusements. i played against grady in my first match on centigrade. he beat me 2 out of 3 games. then i went on to the ‘loser’ bracket and played nick on fast draw. lost that one too. oh well. i made some new friends.

i was listening to NPR while driving on the 435 loop this morning & afternoon. one of the shows had a caller who identified herself as shelby. she lives 3 miles from disneyland, and said she was on a quest to see everything there in the span of a year. she has a blog. i checked it out. it looks awesome. i was the 7th person to comment on her post about being on the show, wait wait, don’t tell me. one of the links i found on her blog features attractions that aren’t at disneyland anymore. cool, nostalgic, and somewhat depressing: yesterland.…and THEN my sister called to tell me she has acquired a disney encyclopedia series that we used to have when we were kids!!! (can’t wait to see it, darla!)

in the third podcast, danny williams and i talk about cyndi lauper, and a handful of classic rock bands… and the “ownership” we felt over them as young fans. we invite you, the listener, to be a fly on our wall on the next dr. sleepwalk and captain fuzzbot’s replay locomotive. here’s a clip from the next show.
cyndi lauper

we’re staying ahead of the game… a third podcast is in the editing stage, and danny williams came to my house today to record MORE material for future shows/podcasts. we both felt good about the subjects that were covered, and we were lucky: the microphones were switched “on,” and the computer didn’t crash. some topics we covered include two comedians, a misheard lyric medley, and breakdancing. all will be revealed on dr. sleepwalk and captain fuzzbot’s replay locomotive.

a third installment of dr. sleepwalk and captain fuzzbot’s replay locomotive is expected soon. the planets are in alignment, migratory fowl are on the move, and regional temperatures are erratic… it must be time for a new show!
