Random Things

Hope everyone is having a good holiday season. Just a couple of things from me here.

-As I said on my show last week, I was going to post the Christmas songs I played on December 14 on the site, since most were from other mp3 blogs. So tonight I made the flie up, zipped it and then went to Rapidshare and boom, not working. So keep an eye out the next couple of days and hopefully I'll have it up.
-Last week I did a post on Jim Guthrie wondering what he was up to. Of course leave it to Michael Barclay over at radiofreecanuckistan to answer the question. Guthrie is working on his new album and has been writing commercial jingles. You can read the full interview over here.
-I'm really looking forward to Walk Hard coming this Friday so when I saw this promo video from Judd Apatow from Funny Or Die I was excited. Watching it, the excitement held up. Enjoy it here.



That's all for now. More coming soon.

More Reno 911

A couple of weeks ago I did a post on the Reno 911 movie that is coming out this week.

Well one of my favorite things was the song that is up on the Jim Dangle Myspace page, called "Proud of Reno". Well thanks to the people of the Reno 911 Livejournal group I was pointed over to a fan site for Thomas Lennon aka Jim Dangle.

Lots of cool stuff there but more importantly is the song. So head to the sounds here to grab it for yourself.

New Kevin Smith/Scott Mosier Smodcast Online

The newest podcast of Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier, called their Smodcast, is now online at Quick Stop Entertainment.

The second edition of the show is called A Dubious Super-Power and the webpage for the Smodcast had this description of the show

"In which our heroes ponder about C U Next Tuesdays, discuss the death of a human train wreck, compare amateur porn to Elmo, create a platform for Walt Flanagan's mayoral candidacy, contemplate dalliances with the famous, do bad Salma Hayek impressions, and discern exactly how spineless the fat one is as they relate tales of criminal victimization in major metropolitan areas."

New Kevin Smith/Scott Mosier Podcast Online

On occasion I swerve away from music to discuss other things in the pop culture world that I like. Mostly it has dealt with Kevin Smith but other things will pop up when the mood strikes (like the Reno 911 post) that I want to try and pimp out.

Anyways besides Smith's excellent movies, I've also been a fan of how down to earth he seems. Whether it's in his Evening With... series or on his funny commentaries on the DVD's, I just really like listening to the guy, especially when teamed with his producer and friend Scott Mosier.

So needless to say that I was quite excited when I found out about the new podcast of the two, called the SModcast. Based from Smith's website devoted to all things pop culture, Quick Stop Entertainment, the podcast is described as, "SModcast is the meandering palaver of a pair of dudes whose voices are so dull, they don't deserve to be on the radio (and, hence, aren't).

You can get full details on Smodcast and episode one here.

Reno 911

Allow me to step back from the world of music for a second to send some love out to the Reno 911 gang as they prepare for the release of their upcoming movie, Reno 911: Miami. Check out the trailer here.



They also have Myspace pages for all the characters (and the movie) with blog posts, bulletins and even some videos like this one.

So I guess that video did have a bit of music on it. I'll be honest and say that I'm really looking forward to this movie and the stuff they're doing on Myspace is fun and interesting.
