What also hindered me is that Jamie and I finally took our (extremely overdue) honeymoon to Ireland. Such a beautiful country. I’ll post some pictures once we get them up on the ol’ webternet.

But we’re back, from outer space… walked in to find that look upon your face…

But… before I get any further I want to thank my new friend Colin and the Ouroboros Podcast. He spent a bunch of time plugging the JW Show on his, so go have a visit with Colin if you’re interested in hearing not only some more great music, but his insights into independent music videos AND all sorts of other geo-political things going on including cycle racing! If you were at the Mongolian Barbecue he’d be a “highly recommended” sauce.

I also want to tell you about one of the special track that we have this week. Coming to us from Perseverance Records is the R&B stylings of The Sales Brothers. This appropriately titled record, Hired Guns, marks the first of the brothers’ own recordings – back in 1978. (“Whoa! That’s like 30 years ago!” Just wait…

These two brothers were one of the most solid rhythm sections (drums and bass) in the industry back in the 70s. Playing with the likes of Iggy Pop, David Bowie, and many more. When it came to be their time they decided to play their true love, R&B. After producing this great record some 30 years ago, on the eve of taking over for the Blues Brothers on Saturday Night Live – a ticket to stardom – Tony had a near fatal car crash and ended up in a coma. Luckliy he survived the coma and recovery, but the tapes from the album ended up in the back of a closet not to be unearthed for 30 years. Until now…

Robin Esterhammer, CEO of Perseverace Records sent me the link to The Sales Brothers amid a few other film soundtracks and as l listened to the great music I read this story. Amazed and moved by both the music and the story I put them on for you. I truly hope you enjoy it and if you get a chance, slide on over to http://www.myspace.com/thesalesbrothers and have a listen for yourself. If you sign up for the newsletter, they send you a free track! How great is that?

As for the rest of the playlist – it’s packed with good stuff. Enjoy!

This show is all about the songs that should have, could have, but didn’t make the Top 20 this year. The show’s got LOTS of good music to play, so it’s not a shocker that we had lots to add to this “honorably mentioned” show.

Wanna hear the top 20 songs? Scroll down in the sidebar to the “Audio Vault” or click here (there’s a listen link on this): Birthday Best Blog Entry

Here’s all the honourably mentinoed tunes including a special Bobby Scotch appearance of The Spot. Thanks goodness he’s back!

And yes, we’re calling our virtual studio the Treehouse because we’re no longer on the front porch (we’ve moved locations twice now since the start of the show) and I feel like the virtual studio should change as we move actual locations. Don’t you?

Here’s the ACTUAL playlist this week. Who’s been loving our cool new show players? ME!!

“I live for these weekends
And to take advantage of second chances
With glances, still an outcast kid”

-Robots and Butterflies, “No Shows in April” from The Library EP

Yes, a great song quote from the Band of the Week. Robots and Butterflies hails from South Florida and as a strong four-piece pop/punk outfit show quite a bit of promise in their energy and their songwriting. There’s two songs in the show this week or head on over to www.myspace.com/robotsandbutterflies to get more info including ways to buy their EP “The Library”.

If you’re looking for a story blog, here’s the most recent, My Disgusting American Habit, or just scroll on down. If you’re looking for a story blog OR a JW Show playlist that’s older than a month, look in the sidebar under the Blog Archive and click on a previous month.

As for the Podcast there are now MANY subscription and listening solutions here in the sidebar, from the popular “Click here, It’s Easy” link to the brand new widget where you listen right in this window OR scroll all the way down and at the bottom of the sidebar you can download any specific show you want. That’s great for bands that have been Band of the Week or interviewed that want to link to a specific show. If you have any specific linking questions or you’d like me to build some HTML for your Myspace page or anything of that nature, email me! (Also in the sidebar.)

If you head to my Myspace page at www.myspace.com/justinwarndt you’ll find HTML code under my cool new Myspace banner so you, too can have a JW Show banner on your Myspace site (or heck, even your proper webpage!). When you add the banner, let me know so I can come by and take a look!

Ryan in the Ring

As we’ve all come to love and laugh at the sci-fi comedy stylings of Ryan in “Ryan in the Ring” he’s finally agreed to do one every week. I’ve added his email in the sidebar too, nimoysucks@gmail.com. If you have any questions, comments, or wish to contribute to that segment send the comments his way. If I were you I’d battle him right back with some good comments. Heck, if you post comments about it here or send them to me, I’ll be happy to send them along to him.

Time for the playlist. A special thanks this week (and every week) going out to John Williams who has generously lent his music to the imaging of the show. He’s got a great recording setup at his studio so if you’re an artist or a band in the Seattle area, you should look him up. Here, I’ll help you: www.johnwms.com. Thanks, John!

Now, with all the link confusion I’ve found a way to work everything out quickly and easily. I must admit, I too was worried about clicking on the “Subscribe in a Reader” link. I thought it might subscribe immediately and not give me a choice as to what to do… blah, blah. I have worries about my computer. I realized that of all people, I shouldn’t be afraid of this link and I clicked on it.

Not only was I wrong, I was dead wrong. Feedburner (not paying me to say this!) has a great little page with everything you’d ever need to subscribe OR just play the show. I was excited. It’s that easy. Just click on the link Subscribe in a Reader and it will take you to this marvelous page with everything you’ll need to listen or subscribe. It’s easy! Try it.

I’d also suggest that link to anyone putting it on their myspace page or sending it out to friends. If you want it typed out:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/TheJustinWayneShow

(Remember, HTML is case-sensitive.)

For all of you artists, I’m putting out the call to send me a little drop with you band’s name it in. You know, like those little drops on the radio? You know. I sent it out in an email too. If you’ve got a microphone, Garageband, Audacity, or you’re in the studio with the whole setup, I don’t care. I can make bad sounding stuff sound good, so send me whatever you can! I don’t want to give you much of a script either, but make sure it’s says “…The Justin Wayne Show” at the end. I’d love to hear how creative you guys (and girls!) can get! I’d love the support.

The band of the week this week was Lights Out Dancing from Minneapolis, Minnesota. I was fortunate to catch up with a few of the band members on the phone and we got them to say a few words – even telling us an almost compromising touring story. Their five-song EP is available from their myspace page at www.myspace.com/lightsoutdancing or find their music on the iTunes directory. Yes, they’re on iTunes.

With a rich blend of high-energy guitars and (I’m not going to say “soaring vocals” because that’s what everyone says, but that’s what I WANT to say) lovely vocals the band has come a long way from their roots as the pop/punk Charmin. Standing out from their peers as they sing positive and motivating songs their EP is enjoyable to listen to and can even provide motivation on a slow day. I find pride in playing their music on the show because I feel it highlights the core of what we’re trying to do too – bring hope to a sometimes hopeless culture. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and Lights Out Dancing reminds us of that.

And one special thanks… Thanks to Equal Vision Records, a very sweet indie label that’s given us permission to play anything from their website. I wanted to make sure to thank them specifically because they’ve got some great music and it makes me feel good when organizations like them take interest in a project like this. Thanks!
