Easytown Radio

EasytownRadio R.I.P. (Mar 2006 - Jan 2008)

2009-09-08T10:40:00.000-07:00

To all of our listeners, and to everyone who ever appeared in an episode with us, I say THANK YOU, and I hope that you enjoyed your time with the Easytown Radio show.

This epitaph has been a long time coming.

In January of 2008, we launched what was to become our final episode #26 (Pink Floyd). It was our best episode, and we really went out with a bang. I don't think any of us knew it'd be our last episode when we were producing it. At the time, other ideas for forthcoming episodes were still piling up, but I knew that I needed a break. Episode #27 (Umphrees McGee) was hosted by Balls Deep, but was never launched, and I think it still sits on the launchpad today; just waiting for a countdown to a launch that will never happen. In my mind's eye, it stands frozen on the launchpad for all time; as a reminder of what once was (and what might have become). The nonlaunch of Episode #27 signaled the end of Easytown Radio for me.

Will I help produce another podcast again someday? Time will tell. None could ever be as creatively satisfying for me as Easytown Radio was. Then again, perhaps Easytown Radio was just the beginning. Like many artists do, I tend to believe that my best work is AHEAD of me (not behind me). I'll continue being creative for as long as I live.

And so, if we never meet again this side of heaven, I leave you with some good advice. Always look ahead to the next great thing, while never forgetting where you came from. You can have anything you want in life, but first you have to dream it.

Thank you and goodnite.

What A Year!

2008-12-22T10:25:00.001-08:00

Hi fans!
Wow, what a year its been here at EasytownRadio! I think we published a whopping ONE podcast in all of 2008, haha :-)
I think that's a new record for us, for "Fewest Podcasts In A Year". Now, I know some of you might be asking yourselves the question, "can EasytownRadio still call itself a podcast anymore?". The answer to that little question is a simple one. Yes, not only are we still a podcasting entity, but we are also still a pioneering force to be reckoned with in the podcast game. Perhaps the phrase "underachieving pioneers" suits us better at the moment, but we'll be back in 2009. We'll also be bigger, better, and badder than ever!

In the meantime, why not visit us at The Suck It Easy Band Dot Com, and see what we've been up to with our band on the Long Island music scene!

Confetti!

2008-05-08T09:54:00.000-07:00

Hi fans!
I return from sabbatical next week, and I'll get right back to work, bringing you the best in variety podcast entertainment! It's been a a very much needed break for me, while I catch my breath. Humble apologies to all who've been (im)patiently awaiting the arrival of episode #27. Thank you for not hunting me down and flogging me in the meantime. After all, if there's one thing a man can't stand, it's being hunted down and flogged! Unless that person was a masochist, I suppose, ...which I clearly am NOT.
Anyway, ahem! In honor of this year being the 25th anniversary of Quiet Riot's Metal Health LP, you can expect my return to the host's chair with a rockin' Quiet Riot episode #28! Horns up!

Episode Twenty Six - The Pink Floyd

2008-01-25T20:20:00.000-08:00

Dramatis Personae:
~ Mike Belmonte . . . as Dick Dawson Jr
~ Dee Jurgens . . . as Connie Linguss, Candii Linguss, and York Oxbigg's wife (whatever her name is)
~ Russ Rogers . . . as Don The Announcer, and Duke Oxbigg
~ Balls Deep . . . as Herc Oxbigg, and other assorted roles

~ Tim Easy . . . as York Oxbigg
~ ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? . . . as Mailman Glenn!

CONTEST RULES:

Yes, we're awarding a sooperDOOPER shoutOUT to be played in our next episode, and the winner could be you! So, listen closely, and send your guesses by email to us at timeasy@easytownradio.com
The contest expires on February 1st and the winner's name will be posted here in big bright lights!

DISCLAIMER:
Easytown Radio is made by adults for adults. And, if it were a motion picture, it would be rated R by the motion picture association of America. Thusly, parental discretion is advised.

ENGINEER'S NOTE:
Easytown Radio itself is a work of love. An inspiration. Let it be known that this particular episode is the podcast equivalent of the classic "Rock Opera" in my eyes, and a production on a new level for Easytown! Good things will happen in 2008.

Episode Twenty Five _ Herbie Hancock

2007-10-10T17:27:00.000-07:00

Are you ready to get down with the sweet sounds of Herbie Hancock?

Welcome to episode 25 :-)

This episode is dedicated to our brother Russ Rogers.

For the uninitiated, Herbie Hancock singlehandedly redefined the rhythm section in jazz music. From his nights performing with Miles Davis in the 60's, to his experimental funkjazz fusion voyages in the 70's, to his electronic flights of fancy in the 80's, to his Grammy-winning ways in the 90's, right on up 'til today...Herbie remains a musical hero and a national treasure, who's legacy will foverer burn bright, like a shining star in the night.

Now...
Just lean back and enjoy the ride...

This one's for Russ

These live cuts were recorded onto four 3M M56 solid state 1" 8 tracks and Ampex model 351 tube 2 track Analog recorders. The console was a Langevin 18 X 8. Tickets were $2 dollars. Scalpers were selling them for as much as $5 dollars. The concerts were sold out. Jim Morrison was 25 years young, on top of his game, and swinging Tarzan-style from a rope across the stage (it's true, just ask Robbie)

EPISODE TWENTY ONE -MARVIN GAYE

2007-06-17T15:30:00.000-07:00

My favorite moment in this epsiode is Tim Easy's rendition of 'Let's Get it on'.
It represents so many things to me about Marvin Gaye's music, Tim Easy Himself, Easytown Radio and of course the undescribable force that is Suck It Easy.
Music is something means so much to many and even more to each one of those many.
Enjoy this episode and the love that is easytownradio.

Notes From Easytown USA

2006-11-17T09:20:00.000-08:00

Hi gang!

We've been on hiatus, and I do apologize for that. But, we're back!

I've been busy recovering from the wild ride that was my 36th birthday, and Mike Sin has been busy conquering the world. Thanks to all who helped make my birthday a special one. Extra special thanks to Mike Sin for the Donkey Kong gift, and to Crunchy Ken for the Harold Ramis gift!

It gives me great pleasure to herald the coming of our much-anticipated William Shatner episode! We're taping the episode on November 21, and we've got some extra special guests lined up for this one...

From the mighty mind of Kevin Pritchard, we proudly bring you TJ's HOOKERS, and BOSTON BARELY LEGAL! From the Mike & Bryan Pre-Game Show, Mike Kerr is expected to join us, and one never knows what to expect from that madman! From the lipsmacking world of culinary delights, Matt Olley is expected to join us, and if there's a better Sean Connery or Christopher Walken impersonator out there, I'd sure like to meet him!

We'll also hit you with our homebrewed sci-fi series, Fuuucked In Space! Featuring the legendary KJW as Captain Skid Marx; the dapper Kevin Pritchard as Dr Dingdong; the trusty Mike Sin as Ensign Bongo; and a hammered Balls Deep as Ensign Thirsty! Hiilarity ensues when our crew aboard the starship Friday 13 suddenly find themselves hurtling through space with no navigational system and no way to slow down! What does the Captain do? He taps a keg! Hey, that sounds like my kinda starship!

We hope you'll enjoy the song selections too. We'll be dipping into some of the classic Shatner recordings for that, along with some of his more recent material that he recorded together with Ben Folds.

As always, there's plenty of good stuff to go around, and plenty more on the way still :-)

Thanks for rolling with us!

Yours,

EASYTOWN RADIO PSA:

2006-10-25T15:49:00.000-07:00

on a Ted Kennedy kick

2006-10-17T16:35:00.000-07:00

Easytown Radio recently finished our Snakes On A Plane parody, featuring Balls Deep as the voice of Ted Kennedy, and appropriately titled DRINKS ON A PLANE.

It also stars Mike Sin as the airplane pilot. Listen closely and you'll catch a cameo by yours truly as a flight attendant. How Hitchcock of me.

Interestingly enough, DRINKS ON A PLANE also features Balls Deep as the voices of both Don Uts and Pissanthony, in coach class, natch.

TKDD update: yes! there's a new installment of Ted Kennedy Drunk Detective on the way! America's favorite detetctive almost solves a case, for real!

Only on Easytown Radio, dig?

EPISODE FIFTEEN - BOB SEGER

2006-10-09T19:58:00.000-07:00

CLICK IT

This year marks the 30th anniversary of a truly classic concert LP from 1976. Put on your party shoes and let's rock out with some Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band, right here, right now, it's Easytown Radio, let's do this!

(see episode preview in previous post for more details...)

Episode 15 preview!

2006-10-07T06:33:00.000-07:00

It's an Easytown salute to Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band!

It's another "commercial free" episode, and songs include "Travelin' Man", "Beautiful Loser", "I've Been Working", and "Katmandu". All songs were carefully handpicked from Bob's classic 1976 Live Bullet LP, recorded live in concert at Cobo Hall in Detroit.

Studio guests include Rah Khandi, Cande Rockley, Mr. Cea, and Rod Skillz! Wow! Fun features include "Just-A-Fuckin-Around" with Felipe, and "My Favorite Fruits" with Yogi Berra. There's also a wild commentary on the city of Detroit, as delivered by Rah Khandi and Cande Rockley.

Episode 15 marks a return to the 4-song protocol, and a return to the loft room where many of our earlier episodes were recorded.

Listener mail: our lucky listeners this time are Jason Schneider of IconsOfTheRing, and Rich Rivkin of Fusion Collective.

As for what was inside The Easybox? Well, that's a secret :) ...let's just say it has something to do with...the Boy Scouts of America?

E a s y t o w n R a d i o: blowing minds since 2006!

Music is my travel agent

2006-09-27T19:21:00.000-07:00

Music is my travel agent.
It takes me places.
It takes me back in time, too.
It's one of those most amazing things,
that i think make life worth living.

Lyrics of the day

2006-09-26T17:33:00.000-07:00

Ive witnessed those one night stands
Must have played in a thousand bands
But Im just here tonight, tomorrow Ill be gone
Seen folks show their blacker sides
Seen them die just for foolish pride
And those drivers always ask to hear that same old song

Thats a big ten-four
From your back door
Just put that hammer down
This young man feels
Those eighteen wheels
That keep turning round to take me down to shaky town

Ive heard all those hard luck tales
From all of you u.s. males
Ive heard you tell those lies about the love youve known
And Ive followed those highway signs
And Ive run down those thin white lines
Like those drivers this old road is all I call my own

Thats a big ten-four
From your back door
Just put that hammer down
This young man feels
Those eighteen wheels
That keep turning round to take me down to shaky town

All the way down to shaky town

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Shaky Town"
Artist: Jackson Browne
Album: Running On Empty
Year: 1977

My favorite thing about this song is pretending that Jackson sings "easy town" instead of "shaky town". It's definitely a trip. It's got a funky beat. And you can BUG OUT to it.

A look ahead:
Coming soon on Easytown Radio we'll be saluting Bob Seger, who's been riding high on the Billboard charts this week at #4 with his new album "Face The Promise". We'll spin choice cuts from his monumental "Live Bullet" LP, which was recorded in 1976 and went platinum five times. Let's boogie!

EPISODE FOURTEEN- JACKSON BROWNE _ RUNNING ON EMPTY

Jackson Browne created a masterpiece in 1977. Let's listen in.
- in this episode, easytown radio decides to dedicate more airtime to exploring the artist featured! Trivia and fun facts galore!

Jackson Browne the innovator. Jackson Brown the imitated. Take your pick, they're both great.

Episode 13, coming soon!

2006-08-29T19:40:00.000-07:00

Chris Kling (Suck It Easy, co-founder) and Ken Horgan (SIE team captain) joined Mike Zinn and myself in the Deep Sea room for the taping of EasytownRadio episode 13. We salute RUSH, the early years, and we give a big birthday salute to Alex Lifeson (who turned 53 on August 27th and is still rocking, thank you very much).

Early RUSH songs that we've chosen for this episode include "Finding My Way", "Working Man", "Anthem", and "2112 Overture". Apologies to the Caress Of Steel album, which was neglected here, but we've touched upon three of the first four RUSH albums for you. There's also a bit more of the 2112 album, in addition to the Overture, sprinkled into this episode for good measure, and you'll find it if you listen real closely.

Episode 13 also marks a return to olden tymes, when no verbal content was pre-recorded prior to the night of taping. Episode 13 also looks ahead to the future, as we debut The Easybox (complaints, jokes, suggestions)! Episode 13 also marks the first time we tap into our listener mail to the tune of 2 letters from 2 lucky listeners with each episode, instead of opening listener mail only once every fourth episode, which is the way that we've been doing it up until now. Our lucky listeners this time around are Bryan Puglisi (Verbal Sideshow) and Ginger Lynn (Playboy Radio). As for what was inside The Easybox? Well, that's a secret :)

Love and bottlerockets,

PODCAST!

Episode Twelve: The Clash / Sandinista!

2006-08-09T21:40:00.000-07:00

Episode twelve was wrapped up this week, and we expect to air next week sometime. It's the Sandinista! episode, and I guarantee fans of British rockers The Clash will be blissed out.

In addition to all of the great music, it's saucy Easytown morsels aplenty! Don Uts bumps into his ex-wife's lawyer at the racetrack and things get interesting. Spoiler Stan doesjoins us again with his take on the new Clint Eastwood flick. Jake's Backyard is back in action, as Wrinkled Star and Three Packs A Day both fire up their propaganda machines. And let's not forget the exciting listener mail segments. We received a ton of mail from some mighty fine folks, but we narrowed it down to four and our lucky listeners are Belladonna, Mike Epstein, Johnny Owens, and Ed Ryan!

Special thanks to Mike Zinn for all his super(bananacat) work at the console, and special thanks to both Greg Frisina (Balls Deep) and Russ Rogers (Heywood Jablomi), and we also thank you (our listeners)!

THE CLASH: SANDINISTA!

It's time for a wild ride into the experimental (and most controversial) of Clash albums! On these recordings, Joe Strummer and the boys reminded us that bad governments can inspire good music. In this episode we'll spin "The Magnificent Seven", "Washington Bullets", "Charlie Don't Surf", and "The Call Up".

It's The Clash, right here on Easytown Radio, so strap on your combat boots and let's get ready to rock the casbah

Da Funky Phish

2006-08-04T09:50:00.000-07:00

The stars were out in Bay Shore last night, as many of our beloved Easytown Radio All-Stars were in attendance at Da Funky Phish for the Suck It Easy extravaganza! More than 200 photos were shot with Bub's camera (thank you Zinn, and Christine, and Bub of course). The pics will be online soon for your viewing enjoyment. In the meantime, here's my Top Ten favorite things that happened at last night's party:

10. I was on percussion and backing vocals, while Frank Walker and Russ Rogers played ukes and Craig Phish sang lead vocals on "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"

9. Mike Ferrari was there, celebrating his birthday in style, and it was a joy for me to wish him a happy birthday from on stage.

8. Frank Gabriel joined me on stage to help sing the Kool & The Gang classic "Celebration".

7. Bub lost his $200 pair of sunglasses, and later found them waiting for him underneath a drum kit.

6. Afro wigs were in full effect and after a while it seemed like everyone was getting in on the act, from Matt Jasper to Dennis Lucenti to Paul Wenzel etc...

5. The horn section was hot, nothing beats the one-two punch of a saxaphone and trombone, extra special thanks to Dennis Lucenti and Matt Jasper for bringing the brass.

4. Don Uts sang a freestyle diddy and we got some hot afro choreography going on, there was some sweet headbobbin' and side-to-side groovin' goin' on.

3. Jamming on stage with The Restaurant during a Poison song. I was on ukulele.

2. Russ Rogers presented me with my very own ukulele. It's only been mine for one day so far, and already it's become my favorite instrument of all time. Thanks, brother Russ!

(drum roll please................)
1. Celebrating the birth of my niece, Lia Kelly. She doesn't know me yet, but someday she will, and she's going to have the best uncle in the whole wide world!

Them big sandwiches they got downtown. I like to eat em like that. You can bench them and go five rounds no problem. I made the gym like them sandwiches, Big, Huge, and loaded with dressing." Freddie of Freddie Two times Liquors agrees "There is no place like Easytown to operate a business. Easytown loves my rum, loves my rum, and I love Easytown, we are open late,....real late. I like it, I like it." states Freddie.
