shut up, John‪.‬ shut up, John.

Don't even BOTHER with this episode... I mean, the bands are great, but this was my first attempt at a "live" type of podcast... Let me explain. I decided to do everything in this fourth installment of "shut up, John" completely freestyle, which means no editing (well, minor editing, ha), no forethought and really no direction. I just decided to basically load all the songs into Cubase while other tracks we playing, manually manipulate the faders and levels and try come up with song intros on the fly (and it's not as easy as it sounds!). This episode is only 20 minutes long. Most episodes take me about 3 hours to put together. This episode took, well, 30 minutes... Trust me, it really shows! So, please take this as a warning. Enjoy my buffoonery... Please send all ridiculing email to shutupjohn@gmail.com. Thanks! Listen here: shut up, John. Episode #4.

Dude... Episode #3 of shut up, John is up... WTF? CuBase totally f*****g shut down on me... but who's the stupid motherfucker who didn't SAVE along the way?! You guessed it... me... FUCK! Whatever... Episode #3 is still well worth checking out... music from The Swellers, Rasputin, By All Means and The SpacePimps! It's been a long day, and I missed the UFC fight... Enjoy, enjoy! Listen here: shut up, John. Episode #3.

Alrighty!! Episode #2 of shut up, John is up!! It's another short one, but I think 30 minutes is going to end up being the standard. I had to slam this one out before I left for Japan with Better Luck Next Time. It's got a good variety of bands including Capra, No Bragging Rights and One Handed Readers. I also got my hands on a better microphone and a slammin' new copy of Cubase (it works great for me!)... So enjoy the show! Listen here: shut up, John. Episode #2.

Welp, I made my first radio Podcast... this first one was just me, playing songs and getting acquainted with the whole "recording a Podcast" thing. I plan on making more episodes... who knows if they will get any better, but you gotta start somewhere. I am pretty proud that this is my first episode. It's a lot harder than I thought to put a show together, even one as simple as this. Anyway, hope everyone likes, or doesn't slam me too hard with shit talking... Listen here: shut up, John. Episode #1.

It seems somebody got in trouble for the first Better Luck Next Time "friday night..." video I made. So, I made a new, crisp and clean "edited" version. Everytime I appear in the video, it's to cover up where "someone else" may have been. I thought it was funny...

So, Better Luck Next Time had "practice" on Friday night. We are actually gearing up to go back to Japan at the end of September with the Mad Caddies to promote our new CD, Start from Skratch. The practice itself went pretty good, but the drinking afterward was even better, and seemed to be more of a priority. I think I brought 38 Bud Lights, and that's only where it started. Joseph had a run in with some Vodka. Enjoy...
