We are preparing for the Birthday Best in a way that makes it seem like it might never happen (it WILL.)  However, we’ve got some Green River Ordinance free mp3s for you to gobble down, as well as another great rocking track from the hot, hot band Skittish.

Thanks everyone, don’t miss the  second half of the show for more tunes and love!

Cheers,

~JW

Back next week!  See you then… with bells on!

Kerpow!  This new EP from Zalinski is crammed full of thick, jam-based, guitar rock that (if you fancy a good rock n’ roll tune) you’re gonna really enjoy.  We’ve got the band on the show (in their car, actually) chatting to us about how they came together, the way they write, and where this new EP is taking them.  What’s it called?  Actions, Reactions, and Misunderstandings.  We obviously liked it so much we named the episode after it.

This week we were notified that The Justin Wayne Show has been nominated for a European Podcast Award which was EXCELLENT news!  Care to donate thirty seconds (not money!) of your time for the cause?  Head over and vote!

Vote for The Justin Wayne Show at the European Podcast Awards Site

We have also got some more fresh sonic deliciousness from Black Bikini Alpha, The Powwows, and another new track from our boys at Junebug.

For the rest… the playlist.

Can you hear "Static Waves"?

Yup, Grey’s Anatomy is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine.  But, how did I feel when Andrew Belle’s “Static Waves” was to appear on the show, just when Mark tells Callie to talk to Arizona about her feelings? (Yes, I know that sounds REALLY contrived.)  I was pretty darn stoked for our man Andrew, and thereby gave him Track of the Week for his achievement.

The Scudley Sessions roll on this week again with Peter Renzullo bringing in a fabulous singer/songwriter Helen Shanahan.  More details are on the Scudley Sessions page with links back to Pete’s lovely indie record label, Scudley Records.

We’ve also got to remind to you to vote for the Recharged Radio Awards that are rapidly approaching, especially since the voting ends on March 31!  Get down there and vote.

And my other project, Insomnia Radio Chicago, has finally launched!  If you dig the Chicagoland area’s fine array of music, join Kimmi Rudolph and myself over there for another bi-monthly music podcast with some great music!

One more quick note: I’ve been getting promises from bands and artists to send me jingles, but NO JINGLES HAVE YET TO ARRIVE.  This makes me do this .  So, follow the good form of the band Giant Wow and send me some bloody jingles before I have to start naming names and throwing dead cats.  (Monty Python fans…?)  Heck, if you haven’t promised me one and you’d like to make me do this   than send one along yourself!  You don’t even have to be an artist, you could be a tried-and-true fan, or a new fan… or my mom.  Send em, the easiest way is our submission page.

The Justin Wayne Show Episode 84: Mark, Callie, and Arizona

Thanks again, and do send along some jingles!

We’ve also got the Joe and Ollie from the Cardiff-based band OK courtesy of Futureproof Promotions in to chat with us about their upcoming full-length album release, Under the Weather but Over the Moon coming out on 14th of March shortly after the single, “It’s Not too Late” appears on the 7th of March (we’ve got the video posted below in our Video Feature).  We’ll hear tunes from all of them as well as interviews with each of them.

That band, "OK"

Track of the Week comes from the Birthday Best last week.  Our Artist of the Year, Natasha Davies, gets her track “Giggle” as the TOTW for this week.

We’ll also be posting the Birthday Best list to the site, so if you’re still wondering if you were in the top 25 JW Show songs of the year and you’ve still been too lazy to listen to show 77, then you’ll be able to see them.  Just head to http://thejustinwayneshow.com.

That’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!

See you next week for the big show, The Justin Wayne Show Birthday Best 2010!!

Cheers,

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.

Speaking of…

The Justin Wayne Show Episode 70: My Big Fat American Holiday

Come have some leftovers with us next week as we get ready to launch the nomination process for The Justin Wayne Show Birthday Best, 2010.  Wanna see what it was like last year?  The Justin Wayne Show Birthday Best 2009.

Jason Ober joins us on the show this week to tell us of his wonderful experience with The Powwows at Uncommon Ground (in fact, you can read about it too in his article just below this one on the site.)  There’s another couple of tracks from the Zalinski boys from their new EP, “Actions, Reactions, and Misunderstandings” as well as loads of great music, chat, and the usual fare here at The JW Show.

Playlist?  Please.

The Justin Wayne Show Episode 69: Best Friends Forever

We’ll have some great stuff brewed up for next week’s big show number 70 so keep it locked, get your subscription up to date and prime yourselves for a great show next week!

~JW

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 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’.

Make sure you vote for us at the Euro Podcast Awards to help make us a “Award Winning Podcast!”  It only takes 30 seconds.  And I’ll only bang on about that until the end of November when the voting stops and we find out who’s won!

Cheers,

Black Bikini Alpha

With an interview with Phil of Modern Cliches, another Track of the Week, a review, and launching the new voicemail (it’s a US number, so +1, then 646-462-4073 and extension 15797) to we’ve got quite the packed show this week!

First, Phil joins us for a chat about the upcoming Modern Cliches double A side, about upcoming gigs and other things.

The Track of the Week comes to us from our new friends over at Futureproof Records and Promotions.  They’re called Black Bikini Alpha and their newest single, “Nightmare” drops at the end of the month (the 29th of November.)

We’ve also got “Soar”, a pre-release track from the upcoming Zalinski EP release called Actions, Reactions and Misunderstandings.  It’s quite good, and we’re gonna have them on the show for an interview next week so make sure you come back.

Speaking of coming back… come and participate on the live show!  I’ve put nifty “figure-out-the-showtime-in-my-timezone” link on the website, or if you’re time zone savvy just come to The Justin Wayne Show dot com or Recharged Radio dot com at 8pm GMT.  (It’s 3pm Eastern, 2pm Central, 1pm Mountain, 12pm Pacific for you Americans). If you’re a band, it’s a GREAT way to get your stuff played as you can talk to me via the chatroom and I’d be a fool not to play your stuff if your chatting in the chatroom.  It’d seem pretty rude, wouldn’t it?  So, by that it’s also a great way to chat with the artists that get played on the show.  Kind of like a forum?  (Don’t tell Jordan I said that.)

That’s about it this week.  Here’s what you came for…

The Justin Wayne Show Episode 67: Cliches, EPs and Bikinis

Finally!  Those links took me AGES – but that’s what we’re here for.  Now my arm hurts (from patting myself on the back) and I have no more cheese (to go with this whine/wine.)

Have a great week!
