First off, Lauretta of The Powwows joins us this week for a fabulous interview and she even played us a tune live via Skype.  Come check it out!

vote1That’s right, you have the right to vote at http://thejustinwayneshow.com/vote for your favorite song of the year or as we call it (so cleverly) “The Audience Choice Award”.  Heck, this form even gives you a chance to tell us how we’re doing, how you’re digesting the show, and what we can do in Year 3 to make The Justin Wayne Show EVEN BETTER.  How cool is that?

(We think it’s pretty cool.)

What else is cool?  The Birthday Best Awards are coming next week, 3rd of February at 8pm GMT (3pm EST, 2pm CST, 1pm MST, 12pm PST)

Track of the Week this week is Recharged Radio Wide!  ”Solid State” by Fake Teak is just that good and you should be able to download it for free soon from his Tourdates site at http://tourdates.co.uk/fake-teak.

And we even had a Video feature this week which will show up below the playlist as usual: it’s the “Ocean Passage” stylings from our Projekt mates.  The video was shot down by the Thames, literally on the banks of the Thames, which was once an Ocean Passage… get it?  In fact, there are probably some people that still consider it as such, although I wouldn’t want to get into a debate with them, so… playlist time!

Episode 70: My Big Fat American Holiday

By Justin Wayne

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 2:00:22 — 110.2MB)

thanksgiving1Thanks goes out to all of you listeners and visitors as it’s Thanksgiving!  Yaaayy!  (Yes, I did succeed in eating so much I was sick – though I wasn’t proper “sick” as the British might think, although two others at our gathering were…)

Also, yet another reminder to vote for us in the European Podcast Awards! You can vote once per day and time is running out (so I won’t be badgering you much longer!)

We’ve got a new Field track as the full disc has graced the top of my desk, all the way from Sacramento, California.  I also thank just about everyone who’s helped (as it’s in the spirit of the Thanksgiving season) and discuss my grandma’s famous cinnamon rolls that I’m brewing up for my mates at work.  Anyone interested in the recipe?  If you ask really nice, maybe I’ll post it next week.

Give us a call on our new voice mail and leave some holiday cheer (that we’ll play on the show!) It’s a US number, or +1 for you outside of the US (and always posted in the sidebar at http://thejustinwayneshow.com) so dial 646-462-4073 with extension 15797.  You can also record audio cheer and send it to us via email!

There’s also loads of other great music packed into the show as we’re reminding ourselves of why we began – the music.  It’s easy to get wrapped up in the politics of associations and groups, the technical side of things, and everything else that gets in the way but it’s good to remember that we’re here for THE MUSIC and that’s what this show is about.

Gig Review: The Powwows at Uncommon Ground

By Jason Ober
Uncommon Ground (on Devon)

Uncommon Ground (on Devon)

Uncommon Ground is a small, intimate bar and restaurant in Chicago with quirky, friendly staff and plenty of good food and drink. It’s locally owned and is just a great atmosphere. I highly recommend finding one of the two locations if you’re ever in Chicago and trying any variation of the local Chicago beer known as 312. The tap looks like a telephone receiver. How could you not want to drink it?

ANYdangway… on to the show!

I was greeted by Lauretta, the lead singer/songwriter and Julie, the manager of The Powwows. It was almost like meeting up with old friends even though I’d never met them before. We were all laughing and talking all throughout dinner (which was uh. mazing. I had Pumpkin Ravioli with sage butter. I think I cried a little on the inside with joy) and the once we moved upstairs for the show, the entire place was equally charged with a lively, friendly energy in the entire room.

There were probably about 40-50 people in attendance and Lauretta and the band seemed to know and be friends with them all. Thanks to a pretty terrible joke by Steve the sound guy (and by terrible I mean awesome) as he introduced the band, it prompted Lauretta to start a bad joke contest, inviting audience members up to tell their own bad jokes, including pure comic gold like this one:

A string walks in to a bar. The bartender says, “Hey! We don’t serve your kind here.” Dejected, the string goes outside, twists himself around and messes up his hair. He goes back in and the bartender says, “Aren’t you that piece of string that was just in here?” The string says, “Nope, I’m a frayed knot.”

The Powwows

The Powwows

The other members of the band are Tony, the lead guitar, Kyle on drums and Doug on bass. The entire band was very in sync with unique rhythms and beats driving each song. The balance was great AND…. are you ready for this?…. I could actually hear and understand the lyrics. I know. Amazing. Especially in a small venue.

The only thing I can really remember wanting to hear more of was the backup vocals by Tony. The harmonizing of male and female voices together, particularly with female lead singers, is something I always dig. Their sound reminded me of a band I love called Ida. Calming, soothing. Seemingly innocent, yet with some fire underneath.

All in all definitely a great live show. I even brought a couple of friends who had never heard of The Powwows before and they both really enjoyed themselves. If you’re in Chicago definitely keep an eye out for their next concert and, if you like what you hear on the JWShow, pick up the album. All the songs will keep your head boppin’ and your toes tappin’.
