In this episode I interview members of Field Club, an Omaha band who is coming out with their second EP soon. They bring Bourbon and beer, which is always a good thing. Field Club was on Worlds of Wayne as an intro song way back when All Young Girls are Machine Guns were on, so it was full circle as AYGAMG is the opening tune here. Field Club plays a couple of tunes live in the studio and then we preview a song from the upcoming EP.

He was kind of a mystery, so we kept it that way. Scuba Steve has a blog called Hit That Dive, and this intrepid bar hop takes to the streets and finds the so called "hole in the wall" bars your mom told you never to go in. Well, he goes in and checks them out. You can imagine he has stumbled away with some interesting stories. Listen in and check out his blog. I would say buy him a shot when you see him, but you won't know it's him. |

Check out the interview and join in the fun. If you can, pour a stiff drink and pretend you are hanging out with us.

What history dealt those Cass St. gates is readily documented. How the romance ends for these young men and Penny is anyone's guess and everyone's story. |

Kronch and I have known each other for many years. He was filming and interviewing live bands here in Omaha since before most of you videoheads were in high school. Podcasting was a fantasy. Love Drunk was a but a far off dream of a young Django. When you wanted to Hearnebraska, you had to either be there or tune in. Back in the 90's it was quite the chore to showcase music on television and computers were still not ready for mass video consumption. Yet somehow, Kronch and a band of misfit tech-heads made a show that chronicled a bit of Omaha music history. We chat about it and reminisce on old times. The weekly hour long TV show featuring performances of local, regional and national alternative rock, reggae and blues acts taped live on location. Trout Tunes aired from 1991 to 1999 in Omaha, Lincoln and Wichita. |

In this episode of Worlds of Wayne I am joined once again by the Color Pharmacy. On their way to SXSW they spent 2 days in Omaha and hung out at the house. So we set up the laptop, the handy Blue Snowball mic, and had a lunchtime chat. Color Pharmacy on facebook After relentless touring in support of their last full-length record, The Color Pharmacy are back with an explosive new album, to be released March 2013. Building on the sound and success of Texatonka (released February 2011 and added at #2 on the CMJ Radio 200 charts) the Minneapolis-based trio tracked The Color Pharmacy over only four days at The Pearl Studios with producer Mark Schwandt (White Light Riot, Usonia). Recorded to analog tape, the new album boasts tightly-crafted songs, catchy hooks, and soaring vocal harmonies to create a sonic atmosphere entirely unique to this genre-bending band.

In this episode No Dry County - a band from Lubbock Texas, joins me in the studio for an interview, a few beers, and the first live performance in the new digs. No Dry County carries the torch for a new generation of young artists traveling the circuit here in Texas. It’s country and americana music infused with classic rock and roll, then left to simmer, filling the room with the sound of success. It’s heartfelt music filled with lyrics about real life, real places and real people. It’s the kind of music that everyone can relate to. Attend any live show and you’ll notice that this band from Lubbock, TX has the ability to cross cultural as well as generational boundaries with their sound and energy. After giving up jobs and moving into a van, the band has made their living playing over 140 dates last year pushing their debut EP. Now with another year of experience, NDC is poised to make another strong push with the release of their sophomore album “To Whom it May Concern”. Traveling mostly in Texas and the Midwest, the group is paying dues and rapidly gaining popularity. Look for No Dry County this fall as they make stops in Denver, Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis, Nashville, Oklahoma City, Texas and everywhere in between. |

Once again, members of the Omaha Roller Girls join me in the studio to talk about how their season has come along as well as how the Omaha Junior Roller Girls are shaping up! About the ORG The Omaha Rollergirls are Omaha’s premier all-female flat-track roller derby league. Roller derby is the fastest growing sport in the world and the Omaha Rollergirls are proud to represent Omaha. Its mission is to promote the strength, athleticism, and independence of women through the sport of flat-track roller derby and to provide the skills and training necessary for participation at regional, national, and international level.

Tue, 24 April 2012
Local Omaha Joe Broghammer joins me in the studio to talk about his art. Thing is, we never get to the art talk. I was 2 martinis in working on a 3rd with Joe casually sipping on a couple beers. We start talking about aliens, spirits, bigfoot, and other paranormal stuff and the entire podcast is basically us debating everything. Joe claims not to believe in any of it, and I of course believe in it all. So it makes for an interesting listen. Regardless, check out one of my favorite Omaha artists here: Joe Broghammer online Joe Broghammer obtained a B.F.A. from the University of South Dakota, Vermillion. He also completed graduate work at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. He has exhibited his work in more than forty group shows and has had solo exhibitions throughout the Midwest and beyond. His work is a part of museums, public and private collections. Joe recently won the Best of Show at the OEA Visual Awards Ceremony in December 2006 at the Bemis Underground. |

In this episode I am joined by Dean Bernardini, the bass player for Chevelle. We talk about the new record Hats Off To The Bull and how the current tour is doing. We also talk about how he got into the band, how they have been recording, and what it's like transitioning from being a drummer to a bass player. Bio: Chevelle is an American alternative metal trio that formed in 1995 in Grayslake, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. The band was originally composed of two brothers and a local friend: Pete Loeffler (lead vocals/guitar), Sam Loeffler (drums/percussion), and Matt Scott (bass/backing vocals). Matt was later replaced by brother Joe Loeffler. When Joe left the band in 2005, Geno Lenardo subbed-in as the bassist until he was replaced by Pete and Sam's brother-in-law, Dean Bernardini. Opening song: "Super Happy Robot Zombies" by Never So True |

This is the second part of my interview with Kelli Miller. At this part of the interview, Kelli gives me a reading using her abilities and tarot cards. I've had tarot readings before and Laurie used to do a tarot reading at the beginning of the each year when we were looking to make goals for the future. I've rarely had a reading given to be by a true psychic with abilities like Kelli and was a bit reserved about it at first. After talking with her as long as I did, it felt quite natural and exciting. I came away with a sense of inspiration, happiness, and peace of mind. This interview took place a while back, so it was nice to be able to follow up with the audience about what happened in the weeks following the reading. |
Sat, 10 March 2012
In this 2-part episode I am joined by Psychic Medium Kelli Miller. Kelli shares with us her story on how she discovered and subsequently repressed her abilties. Then how she later as an adult tapped into them again and now helps others with their life path and puts them in touch with passed loved ones. Kelli talks about her experiences with the afterlife, lets me know of a couple of spirits that stopped by, and then in episode 2, does a reading on me. About Kelli: As a psychic, Kelli can provide you with guidance and direction in areas where you feel lost and confused. As a medium, she can receive messages from your deceased loved ones in spirit and your spirit guides. Therefore, using her abilities as a psychic medium, Kelli can help you connect with guidance from both energy and spirit to help you heal your life, your grief, your relationships, your career, your financial issues, your body and even your soul. As a spiritual advisor she can share insight into your own talents and strengths. Along with being a Psychic and Medium, I then became a Reverend, a Usui Reiki Master, and a paranormal researcher. I still practice all those things today, along with giving intuitive readings with the guidance of tarot cards. I've also been taking a special interest in life coaching with a specialty in business. I'm beginning to understand what I'm here to do -- to help people and give them guidance and direction in their life. |

In this episode, I welcome a trio of game changers from the Omaha video scene. Yes, there is a video scene. Django from Love Drunk, Ben Semisch from Sound Surveillance, and Andrew Roger from Ingrained have been mastering their video skills with their own projects for a few years. Ben and Roger have frequently collaborated with Django on several Love Drunk Videos, a project that has set the bar for shooting bands in a “one take – one song” style. The quality is amazing, the settings are creative, and it’s all done live. Sound Surveillance on facebook Opening song: “The Sun and Moon” by Cursive |

Fri, 17 February 2012
In this episode I interview comedian Gabriel Iglesias. He has been featured on Comedy Central in his own special and before that was seen on Last Comic Standing. Bio Gabriel Iglesias has been described as unbelievably funny, electrifying, and a gifted performer who has the ability to consistently deliver a quality comedy experience in every venue he performs in. His high-octane show is a hilarious mixture of storytelling, parodies, characters and sound effects that bring all his personal issues to life. Gabe’s clean, animated comedy style has earned national crossover appeal. Ask anyone who has seen him in concert and you will probably hear the same thing, "He was so funny!" Known as the "fluffy" comic in a Hawaiian shirt, the 33-year old funny man often riffs about his girthy middle - whether it's talking about how little dancing it takes for him to work up a sweat at the nightclub, or how hearing his girlfriend coo the words "chocolate cake" over the telephone works for him like phone sex, he evokes laughter. Gabriel’s mass appeal opened the door to a rare opportunity to film a second one hour special and DVD. The new special entitled “I’m Not Fat… I’m Fluffy” Live from El Paso premiered on Comedy Central November 8, 2009. The new show is packed with a perfect blend of impeccable voice skills and an uncanny knack for hilarious storytelling that Gabe is known for. His vast imitative skills re-create numerous sound effects from speeding cars to microwave ovens to a plethora of dead-on voices. The new special is destine to top his previous hugely successful Special/DVD “Hot & Fluffy”. Video of Gabriel Iglesias stand up Opening song: "Bird Dog" by Rock Paper Dynamite |

Once again my favorite Neuroscientist stopped over with her annual gift of scone. The beautiful and talented Kaitliyn Maria Filippini is a wonderful violin player as well as a multi-instrumentalist, artist, film composer, scientist, and as it happens, baker. Her career is taking off in big ways (some of which we can't even tell you at the moment), and I am happy to be able to share them with the audience as she is a great interview. We chat and play a couple of her compositions. Then later I enjoyed her scone. And yes I shared it with my intern Kendall. Opening song about and dedicated to our friend Doug Flynn. All true. He's a superhero. Opening song: "Doug Flynn" by Millions of Boys |
Tue, 7 February 2012

We showcase 3 songs off the record, which are pretty amazing for those liking the indie/punk/pop/rad sound. Opening song: "Wowowow" by Cursive |
Mon, 30 January 2012
So there I was at the Waiting Room to see the Lemonheads, and on stage is this beautiful pixie of a girl rockin with an electric guitar and a pretty great band. Seeing as I had already a few cocktails in me, I boldly went up and asked for an interview. Lucky me, she accepted. So there we were, in the green room, Evan Dando warming up on his guitar, random band members and crew chillin' out, and me with my iPhone trying to get to know this girl a little better. We were both enjoying the bottle of whiskey that was being passed around, but I managed to pull together some questions and find out how she got started with her music and how she got hooked up with the Lemonheads. She was a sweetheart and the rest of the night was kind of a blur... |

Thu, 8 December 2011
It was a cold and icy night when two members of the Omaha band So So Sailors stopped by the studio for an interview. I gave them whiskey and beer. I brandished a vodka rocks and we settled in for an interview. That's the story anyway. Chris and Brendan have currently been promoting the release of their new EP "Young Hearts" and I imagine the interview with the Omaha World Herald wasn't half as fun or interesting as this one. Let's just say there was a bit of editing done to eliminate some off topic convos, (Hint: listen after the end credits to hear some...), but even so, this episode is a bit long as we showcase three songs off of the EP. Opening song: "New Tattoo" by Brad Hoshaw - Check out his new record on Bandcamp HERE Chris Machmulller:Piano/Guitar/Saxophone/Vocals Bio The So-So Sailors are five sun-burnt stowaways left adrift upon the high seas. Eagerly awaiting land, they dream of a pristine beach where they can sip coconut milk and shoot pistols without fear of criminal prosecution or possible complaints by the neighbors. Nah, screw that (the coconut part anyway)! It's just Chris Machmuller (Ladyfinger), Dan McCarthy (McCarthy Trenching), Alex McManus (The Bruces, Lambchop), Brendan Walsh and Dan Kemp (Bloodcow). |
Fri, 2 December 2011

Sun, 20 November 2011
Well this was a fun episode. Here's the story. We set up with Arrah and the Ferns in the studio to have a cool stripped down in-studio peformance and got 3 great songs. Then the computer crashed. Then it crashed again. After loosing all the performances and most of the interview, we were 2 hours and a few beers in. So we went old school and recorded the interview on my iPhone and pulled down songs from their EP. It is still a great interview and you will love the songs. Thanks to the band for hanging in there and being great sports. Opening song: "Last Time" by Once A Pawn |

Mon, 17 October 2011
So for the first time, I totally forgot I had a troupe of comedy yahoos coming over for a podcast. After I was a good 2 martinis in, I had message on facebook that stated simply "I think we are here." Holy shit! Well, it worked out just fine and I am pleased to have had 3/4 of the OK Party Comedy troupe in the studio for some beers, laughs, and random banter. Let's just say I had a lot of editing to do, mainly just because I tend to ramble on after a couple of martinis, and boy do I think I'm funny... Enjoy. From their facebook info: OK Party is an Omaha, Nebraska based sketch comedy group that performs monthly comedy events at The Waiting Room Lounge and The Slowdown. They also make sketch comedy videos and pie. They have performed with Doug Benson, Tig Notaro, Howard Kremer, Kyle Kinane, and others. They are very polite and mundane.

Mon, 12 September 2011
In this episode, we are joined by South of Lincoln AKA Max Holmquist. We talk about his experience as a singer/songwriter hailing from a small town in Nebraska, and get a couple of great in studio performances. The cicadas even chime in... South of Lincoln is the stage name for Maxwell Beardsley H. and his one man folk show. The calm, boring life of a small Midwestern town drove him to pick up a guitar at the age of 15. Four years later, South of Lincoln started in 2006 as Max Holmquist’s solo project. Starting with a post-punk/emo sound in the vein as Dashboard Confessionals, etc. somewhere along the line his style shifted with his musical tastes. With the introduction of Alt/Folk from people like Damien Jurado, Neko Case, M. Ward, Andrew Bird, Rocky Votolato, etc., South of Lincoln made the shift towards Folksy storytelling. South of Lincoln on Hearnebraska.org Opening song: "The American West" by John Elliot and the Hereafter |

Matt Whipkey in the studio! Showcasing songs from his new solo record. Here is a excerpt from a recent article in the City Weekly..."The disc itself finds Whipkey dealing with broken relationships and the drawn out loneliness one might feel when unable to find anywhere to fit in (see especially the closer “No Place In This World,” an up tempo rocker that reveals Whipkey’s subject isolated and alone, propped up and animated by soaring, well-placed harmonica wails). Whipkey admitted that he was working under the influence of the songwriting of Dylan and Springsteen, especially taking into account the latter’s four-track masterpiece of an album, “Nebraska.” Over a drink or two at the Barley Street, Whipkey was obviously very proud of his latest album and was eager to show off the finished product – each of which comes with a one-of-kind Polaroid picture made into a sleeve for the liner notes – to his friends at the bar. He also said that his CD release party next Saturday at the Waiting Room features a special reunion of his former band Anonymous American."

Welcome to 2009 people. Last year was a blast, starting off with some great guests and ending with the generous donations of you the listener. It was fun going back through the list of in studio guests, interviews and events that Worlds of Wayne had and I want to thank all of you for your continued support into 2009. This year started off with a bang as the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards took over the Holland Center and recognized local music, theater, and art with a grand event, a few cocktails, and some sweet trophies. Laurie joins me in the studio this time for the first show of the new year. Thanks again for all the support and keep listening. Great stuff coming up this year.

This episode I am pleased to have Chris Trapper in the studio for an interview and performance. He was unable to come in a couple of months ago as a family emergency prompted the cancellation of a few dates of his tour, which included his appearance on this show. Now Chris is back on the road and after a great show at Mick's, he stopped by the studio the next morning for coffee and music on Worlds of Wayne. Unfortunately, I was a bit under the weather and as you will see, had absolutely no voice.
Regardless, it turned out just fine and Chris played a few tunes and talked about his current tour. To be honest, for the past 3 months, I have been listening to his records "Hey You" and "Songs From The Middle Of The World" just about non-stop. Something which I have had the pleasure of doing with studio guests only a couple of times. If you have never heard of this fellow Chris Trapper, then you will probably recognize his voice as soon as he starts singing. His songs have appeared in several movies, TV and radio. He was in a band called the Pushstars. They were kinda a big deal. Now he is on another solo tour crossing the country bringing his fans his amazing brand of music. Click below for more info.

My pod partner in crime Kendall Jane and I welcome Lash and Josh into the studio to talk about the Pine Ridge Toy Drive, now in its 5th year. It's the first Christmas themed show of the year and it's a very special one. Read below to learn more about this toy drive and how you can help make some amazing kids very happy...
The Toy Drive for Pine Ridge Indian Reservation is back! Since 2003, Omaha rockabilly musician Larry Dunn has organized a toy drive for the children of the Porcupine District of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. According to the 2000 census, Pine Ridge’s Lakota Sioux community is one of the most poverty stricken communities in the United States. The children of the reservation are desperately in need of some sunshine and cheer, especially during a time of cold, harsh winds and immense desolation like winters on the reservation can be. The majority of gifts for the children are collected at benefit concerts put on by Omaha-area musicians.

Cheers to Sammy. This episode is dedicated to my sister-in-law who I have had the privilege of knowing for several years. She is leaving for a job with her company in London, and I hope my friends there get in touch.
We will miss her like mad. I recorded a bit of our trip to visit her in Chicago, a city that my wife and I fell in love with because of Sammy. Chi-town will never be the same without her, but we have made some great connections there. Enjoy the music and the party commentary.

This episode I have John Elliot in for an interview and in studio performance. I fell in love with his stuff after he sent me a couple mp3s. His performance at Mick's was incredible and if you get the chance, GO SEE HIM. Here is some info on him and his band the Hereafter:the hereafter is the music project of singer/songwriter john elliott. it has been called "post-seinfeld, post-9/11 eyebrow rock" and john's songwriting has garnered comparisons to paul simon (among others) in the press. john grew up in minnesota listening mostly to michael jackson, guns n' roses and bon jovi (later, bruce springsteen and bob dylan). he started to play guitar when he was ten, taught himself to play the piano and sang in various choirs. john is now perpetually on the road and in his honda civic, writing songs and playing shows. as a result of television and internet exposure (and lots of touring), the hereafter has developed a scattered (and growing) international following. anyone and everyone who plays at a show or on a recording is a member of the hereafter. the current core is bryan dobbs on bass and various instruments and mike schadel on drums. additional members include, but are not limited to: andy featherston, evan endicott, ryan zwahlen, eli bolin, raina rose, kristen eppley, deemo, pickles, stinky john, dykel, carter dewberry, sick, kenny cline, lee overtree, drew callander, gautham prasad (mime) and jay johnson. "The Hereafter" THINGS: "eulogy" (track fourteen) appeared during the season three finale of "grey's anatomy" playing softly toward the end. “the end” (track twelve) was featured on NPR’S “all songs considered open mic series." national public radio is mellow and good. check out a thing about it HERE. a demo of “back where i was” (track four) appeared in its entireity during the climactic scene of an emmy-nominated episode in the second season of “grey’s anatomy" ("she's my wife..."). "musical chairs" (track nine) is the first track on a compilation CD released by trabant lounge in seattle! hey, they were voted #1 best coffee in seattle.

This episode is dedicated to all that developed, participated in and attended the Mid American Music Festival. It was a great time and was a benefit to Omaha's music scene. We have a few field reports on the show along with a special intro.
Music: "It's Up To You" - by Icares "A song that shall remained unnamed so as not to be tagged" by Brad Hoshaw and the Seven Deadlies "Talkin Information Blues" by Matt Pless "Ballad of Wallace Green and His Dog" by John Elliot / The Hereafter Links: Brad Hoshaw Video MAMF THE FLYNN REPORT A Conversation Between the People Who Hid in My Closet Every Night When I Was Seven From College Humor Freddy Krueger: When do you guys want to kill him? Murderer from the six o'clock news: How about right now? Dead Uncle whose body I saw at an open casket funeral: I say we do it when he gets up to pee. You know, when he's walking down the hallway, in the dark. Freddy Krueger: What if he doesn't get up? Murderer: He'll get up. Look at how he's squirming. It's only a matter of time. Dead Uncle: Man, I cannot wait to kill this kid. Murderer: Same here. Freddy Krueger: I've wanted to kill him ever since he saw my movie. Dead Uncle: Hey, do you guys remember that night-light Simon used to have? Murderer: Man, that thing scared the heck out of me. Freddy Krueger: It's a good thing his mom got rid of it. Now there's nothing to stop us from killing him. (Everyone nods in agreement.) Dr. Murphy: Hey, guys, sorry I'm late. I was busy scheduling an appointment with Simon, to give him shots. Freddy Krueger: No problem. (Freddy Krueger and Dr. Murphy do their secret handshake.) Murderer: It's getting kind of crowded in here. Chucky, can you move over? Chucky: I'm over as far as I can get. Murderer: I need more space than you're giving me. I'm a lot bigger than you. Chucky: Are you calling me short? Dr. Murphy: Hey, guys, relax, all right? We're all here for the same reason: to kill and possibly eat Simon. Murderer: (Sighs.) You're right. I'm sorry. Chucky: Yeah . . . me too. I kind of lost perspective. Dr. Murphy: It's okay. Just remember: we're all in this together. Dead Uncle: Hey, it looks like he's getting up! Wait a minute . . . where's he going? Chucky: I think he's running into his mom's room! Dead Uncle: Maybe we should follow him? Chucky: Are you insane? I'm not facing that kid's mother. That woman is terrifying! Murderer: Seriously, there is no way I'm going in there. Freddy Krueger: (Sighs.) I guess tonight's a bust. Let's try tomorrow, okay? Same time, same place. |

This episode Adam Marsland joins me in the studio to talk about his current tour, new record, and performs a few acoustic songs for your listening pleasure.
BIO: Recently described in SPIN magazine as "a high-energy cross between Brian Wilson, Paul Stanley, and Elton John,” Adam Marsland's pop adventurism, brash vulnerability and stubborn idealism have not earned him the record sales of his L.A. contemporaries Weezer (with whom he once shared rehearsal space) or the cult following of Wondermints or The Negro Problem (both of whom he has performed with), but he has had one of the more prolific and intriguing music careers of the last 10 years.
A talented singer, arranger, performer, multi-instrumentalist and "one of the most gifted songwriters to come out of the west coast in a long time" (Time Out-NY), Marsland has pulled off rock, punk, baroque pop, soul and alt-country through the course of seven albums and 22 tours. When his label collapsed on the week of the release of his band's third CD, he went totally underground, touring alone for 2 1/2 years straight and selling thousands of albums out of the back of a 1994 Toyota Tercel. More recently, thanks to the advent of myspace, a jaw-dropping band that includes a bonafide pop legend, and a tour-de-force live album of similarly overlooked but worthy Beach Boys songs, Marsland's smartass-punk-meets-music-geek songs and persona have attracted a new audience. Most recently, he played guitar and keyboards side by side in studio and onstage with Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famers Hal Blaine and Don Randi and legendary guitarist Jerry Cole in recording sessions recreating '60s hits they originally played on for the soundtrack of the upcoming Shawn Bryant-produced documentary Makaha. His music began to be used more frequently in TV and film, including for the Fall 2007 season MTV Road Rules, Lisa Williams: Life Among The Dead, Scott Baio Is 46 And Pregnant as well as the Sci-Fi channel original film The Headless Horseman. An instrumental version of his song "Burning Me Out" was used as the end theme for I Know My Kid's A Star on VH-1. In 2008 Adam completed his return to full-time music-making with a 20 track album called "Daylight Kissing Night - Adam Marsland's Greatest Hits," released on March 18, 2008. With a artist-breaking $5.99 list price and several new recordings included, the album was his first marketed exclusively to the retail chain since his Big Deal days, and was the subject of an intense word-of-mouth campaign among Adam's fan base. The CD immediately sold out across the U.S. and reached 17 on Amazon's rock chart, followed by a traditional media campaign and a 40-date national tour in the summer. Writing and rehearsals are also underway for a new studio album, his first in four years. The opening song was:"Tales of My Pop Rock Love Life" - by Your 33 Black Angels As promised - THE FLYNN REPORT I'm bored, let's just do a bunch of simple sites. Cuss words included. 1) For those that like the shrooms. click 2) Is the internet f-ing awesome? click 3) In case you're mad at someone. click 4) Is it Christmas? click 5) I've sent this one before but probably my favorite. click |

Tony Lange - coordinator of the Mid American Music Festival joins me in the studio to talk about this groundbreaking Omaha event and how he has designed it to showcase bands throughout the region.

We also showcase a couple bands that will be performing out of the 150+ registered over the 4-day event.

This episode I interview Vivian Campbell - Guitarist for Def Leppard. This iconic rock band is currently on tour supporting a new album of all original material called "Songs From The Sparkle Lounge". Songs on this episode are a bit nostalgic for me. The opening song is from one of my favorite local bands of all time - Oil. I see members of this group around town sometimes and I always remember having such a great time listening to their stuff back in the day. I also play a couple of old Five Story Fall songs. Funny thing is, I don't even have a copy of my own record and the songs are pulled from mix demos I found in a box of random CDs.

She was playing Mick's the night of the interview and we had a great time talking about her music, touring and car wash excursions.

Can you believe it's episode 60!?! Thank to everyone for all the support and especially to my wonderful guests who have been on the show and come in to play live in the studio. This episode, singer/songwriter Susan Gibson stops by the studio before her show at Mick's. She talks about writing, her career and plays a couple tunes for us. She is currently on tour supporting her new record "New Dog, Old Tricks." Susan Gibson was the lead singer for the alternative country band, The Groobees, and is the writer of the Dixie Chicks hit "Wide Open Spaces" Susan Gibson's "Wide Open Spaces" was a massive hit for the Dixie Chicks and her platinum calling card to fame. Last year's Outer Space re-established the Austin area resident in the ranks of popular singer-songwriters and reaffirmed her determined direction down heartfelt highways. – Margaret Moser - Austin Chronicle “New Dog, Old Tricks” recaptures and reinvents two songs co-written with ex-bandmate Scott Melott. Look for a hauntingly desperate but utterly timely delivery of “Miles City,” a song so cloaked in despair that it clings to the listener long past the last note. The frustrated communicator comes out in “Walls Come Down,” a moody piece with a pop/rock edge. Both songs represent the versatility of Gibson’s songwriting prowess and underscore the “huge emotional growth” she’s undergone since the Groobees disbanded. “New Dog, Old Tricks” reflects what others will say has been a circuitous route to her own good fortune, but Gibson has gotten there, nonetheless, and listeners will be thankful for it.

In this episode, I wanted to showcase a few artists that will be coming to Mick's Music Bar here in Omaha. A couple of these artists will be stopping by the studio the day of their show to perform a couple in studio songs and chat about their respective tours.
But what I realized is, that locally, this doesn't do anything to help promote the show here in Omaha. So, I brought in my friend Michael Campbell (Owner of Mick's Music Bar) and we put together a show that would give you a little preview of what to expect from these fine performers. This way, you can hear the music, then see them live at the show this weekend. I would encourage everyone who loves quality music (and if you listen to this podcast then you probably do) to check out Mick's schedule and stop in for some great performances. Many of the artists that he books are extremely popular on either coast and tour nationally, so I am hoping that we are a cool enough town to show the same kind of support. Get off your asses and hear what you have been missing. I hope to do a few of these kinds of episodes so that all my listeners can get exposed to some new music and get a taste of the artists that are coming through town, here and across the nation.

On this episode, I am joined by my daughters Maggie and Kendall. We talk about how bored they are with the summer (are you kidding?) and about how much they are looking forward to going back to school. We play a couple bits that they have helped me with over the course of the show, such as Maggie's "tone" promo and Kendall's Homers Records promo. They're pretty good on the mic and might have a good chance to grow up and become big stars. That is if they ever learn to clean their room...

We found this recipe and have been drinking them ever since. 2 shots gin 1 shot lemon juice 1 tablespoon sugar lots of ice ---put into shaker and shake the shit out of it to dissolve the sugar.

Darren Keen joins me in the studio with a round of Tom Collins for this latest episode and brings a demo of his new record. We talk about how this local musician did things his own way and took his act, The Show Is The Rainbow all over the world and back. This one man show consists of Keen, his computer, and a video screen. He creates all his music and performs to tracks live while projecting his own home made video behind him.
His show is known for its artistic craziness with Keen sometimes sporting a shirtless chest and a single mic while engaging the audience with his beats and thrashing movements in front of his videos as he explores the deepest connection between himself and his music. A TSITR show can, and sometimes does, involve some levels of nudity, bloodshed, altered state of minds, screaming, dancing, bewilderment and most often enjoyment. We explore subjects such as touring, the state of our local music scene, recording, hookers, blow, and pregnant whores.

We enjoy some wine and martinis while talking about how Rachel brought to life the indie theater even though some thought she was crazy.

Together the three of us talk about that long road to succesful stability in a creative feild that can often times feel like a roller coaster ride.

Hola mi amigos! Welcome to Episode 54! This episode I feature an interview with Roger Clyne.

He is returning to the Big O on July 10th and once again rockin' the Waiting Room in support of "Turbo Ocho," an album where the band holed up in a house in Mexico to write and record 8 songs in 8 days. Speaking of storms, locals may know that Omaha also got rocked by a severe storm the other night. Never have seen anything like that in my life. Fucking maddness! The Omaha scene is in a 2-page spread in the latest SPIN Magazine. Check it out and see just how cool we are.

Scooter chicks are hot. Scooter rallies are the most fun you can have on two wheels. This episode I talk a bit about the scooter rally Laurie and I recently attended. We had a blast.

Spring is officially here and it's a great day in Omaha! This episode we talk about the recent law changes that affected our music community. All ages shows were threatened and our local scene gave them a three chord smack-down.

This week we feature an interview with Sarah Scott and Johnathan Kochmer from Two Loons For Tea. I was contacted by their label that they were on their way through the Midwest. After hearing their music, we like 'em a lot and were very glad to have them on the show...
From their Myspace page: Two Loons for Tea are Sarah Scott and Jonathan Kochmer. Together, Sarah and Jonathan make organic, lush, rich, and innovative music that defies genres and expectations. They break free from the norm while being a pleasure to simply listen to. Sarah, besides having an extra rib, was raised by a free-spirited single mom in such exotic locales as the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco, near a nudist colony in the Mountains of Santa Cruz, and in metropolitan New York City. She has integrated the bohemian lifestyle into her own personal take on life, channeling it into her soulful singing. Jonathan came to music from a different scene: although a life-long musician, he’s been academician working in evolutionary biology, climatology, human genetics, Internet development and biostatistics, where he nurtured his attention for detail and a passion for invention. Worlds of Wayne Weekly Top 5 Winner! Congrats to The Alligators for pulling off a staggering last minute victory with the song "Oh, Oh, Oh". They will be featured on the Best of Worlds of Wayne CD. Keep voting for your favorites each week!

The picture above is obviously not my guest Tim McMahan -- it's the singer for the Alligators, an Ohio based band featured on the show. There is actually no documented footage of the elusive "T-Mac" as he has become known in certain elitist circles...Legends abound about this writer, blogger and music aficionado, some say there are no known photos of him as he thinks pictures could "steal his soul," others say that he has been seen paling around with Warren Buffet and Bono at Sunday morning brunches at the Del, still others claim he isn't even real at all...One thing is sure, I managed to lure Tim into my studio with promises of warm delicious coffee and good conversation...The plan worked, though I was told - "No photos"...We talk about music journalism, what's on our iPods, the dirty business of interviews and play lots of great music...So sit back and enjoy learning more about Omaha's true "Man of Mystery"...Music: Tilly and the Wall - "Beat Control" The Third Men - "High" Fizzle Like a Flood - "Believe in Being Barefoot" The Alligators - "Oh Oh Oh" |

On this episode Omaha singer/songwriter Tim Wildsmith joins me in the studio for and interview and live performance. This kid is good so listen close and enjoy. From his bio: Raw sound and honest lyrics are the key ingredients that make up the new release from alternative pop newcomer Tim Wildsmith. The Omaha-based artist's A New Morning is a refreshing mix of alternative rock and mellow pop that draws comparisons to the likes of Ryan Adams, Damien Rice, and Aqualung. Wildsmith is quickly gaining fans with his incredibly vulnerable lyrics, with which he tells the story of trying to survive a broken heart. You can tell he's been through a lot. From gentler, piano-based songs like "Recovery" and "Second Chance" to guitar-driven rockers like "Somehow" and "Love Is On The Move," he invites listeners in as he struggles to keep moving.

UPDATE - In memory: A couple hours after publishing this episode, I received a call from my dear friend Mark Peterson who was in a band with me for several years called the Cocktosens. His wife Beth Peterson had been battling complications with a brain tumor and passed away this morning. I can't tell you how sad I am. In fact, I'm finding it difficult to believe. She was a great friend and I have to admit that after the band stopped playing we all went our own ways and spent the past few years with little contact. I enjoyed moments with Mark and Beth that I will never forget and some extremely happy times as close friends. My heart and sympathies go out to Mark and Beth's families. She will be missed and remembered for all the fun and joyful times she brought her friends and those around her. Cheers to you Beth. |

Brad Hoshaw joins me in the studio and co-hosts the show. We feature music from Brad including an exclusive live performance of "Overflowed Gutters", we talk about all things Brad and get to know the man behind the beard just a little better. It's engaging, entertaining, humorous, heartwarming and at the very least - interesting. Tim MacMahan also makes an in studio appearance and reads his article that was published in the Reader that includes Brad Hoshaw and offers an assortment of musical revelations and...well, you just have to hear it.

My interview with upright bassist Lee Rocker, known world wide as one of the Stray Cats and who is now promoting his new record "Black Cat Bone." He has been touring for years and has a killer band behind him and is keeping the Rockabilly banner flying high all over the world. For more, check out my story on Lee coming out in the Reader Magazine the week of the show.FROM HIS BIO: Since the release of his Alligator debut, Racin' The Devil, bassist/vocalist/songwriter (and Stray Cats co-founder) Lee Rocker's solo career has been skyrocketing. Publications from USA Today to Billboard and The New York Times raved about the undeniable power and foot-stomping fun of Rocker's Americana-based roots rock. OffBeat declared, "What's most satisfying about Lee Rocker is his ability to graft classic Sun licks and shuffles onto Americana. He bridges the gap between Bruce Springsteen and Hank Williams, Sr." Bass Player magazine simply said, "He absolutely kills." Lee's live shows, fueled by his barnstorming, rocking band, grow wilder each night out. And now, on the heels of the national Stray Cats 2007 summer reunion tour, Lee Rocker is back with his second Alligator album, Black Cat Bone. In the early 1980s, Rocker, with The Stray Cats, helped reintroduce rockabilly to a mass audience. His solo recordings continue igniting the roots music fire. Rocker's powerful, original songs, amazing musicianship, and passionate and vibrant vocals, bring depth and substance to a style of music noted for its ability to get people up and dancing. And when Lee and his band perform live, they leave audiences begging for more. Hey and check out the Reader Magazine online to read all about the OEAs, a topic that I didn't really go over on this podcast as hey, MY BAND WON BEST ROCK BAND! which is actually silly to me as we haven't played that much and I thought Ladyfinger deserved it more. But it was the same ole shit, people getting awards, getting drunk (me), people leaving early, technical problems, deserved and undeserved accolades, you know, all the normal crap that comes from award ceremonies. I got wasted and got in an argument with my wife at the end of the night, so I don't remember much other than I am lucky she didn't take a crow bar to my other knee...

A Christmas Carol!
Well, we did it. Dubbing ourselves the Empty Bottle Theatre Group, I assembled a cast of my closest friends to perform something that I have wanted to do for a long time, a live, old-time radio serial. When I asked everyone if they were interested, I got back an enthusiastic response, but since everyone was so busy this season, we had to improvise. So here is the theme, some characters were changed around and everyone got an un-edited script. It was one I found online that was used in Orson Well's original radio drama. Everyone was responsible for editing their own lines and could do whatever they wanted. We got together and ran through one scene, changed a few characters off the cuff, cracked open a few bottles of wine and ran with it. So what you are hearing is a completely un-rehearsed, ad libbed version of A Christmas Carol. You can tell that as it nears the end of the show, we all are getting drunker and drunker... I did very little editing and we all just had a blast. Granted MY ACCENTS ARE HORRIBLE, but it was all in good fun. You can hear us laughing in the background and several times, we almost couldn't contain ourselves as everything was done impromptu, which resulted in much spontaneous laughter. A big thanks to Gary Dring from the Clever Little Pod podcast, my friend from the UK. He was kind enough to record the narration for the show. Thanks to Marco Rossetti for taking some great shots while we were recording, thanks to Dan Byers for helping with production and another big thanks to all my crazy friends who made this a great night of fun.

It was a tragic week last week. Our city is stunned by the violence that happened at the Westroads Mall here in Omaha Nebraska and are still trying to make some sense out of it. It's not the only time this year that our community has suffered a loss due to gun violence, but on a scale like this and with no apparent cause or motive, it is truly heartbreaking.
So many lives affected by this. Families rocked with suffering. It was a place where anyone could have been, it always seemed so safe. This show is dedicated to those suffering. I don't know if I said anything very profound, but it is a medium I have to pay tribute with. I wish all those that lost someone this year due to senseless violence will find peace somehow... |

Back from Mexico!
Greetings everyone! We are back from Mexico and are now happily married! Sorry about the long wait between podcasts - no I have not podfaded - it has just been overwhelming keeping up with work, planning the wedding trip and then actually enjoying the two weeks in Mexico. It was a great time and everyone that went had a life-changing experience. Of course when we got back, it was back to work, so catching up has been taking up all our time as well as building a huge deck in our back yard. Whew!! Now that things are calming down, we are gearing up for our reception, but have been able to take some time out for other things - like a new episode of Worlds of Wayne!! Get strung out - After seeing this quartet perform live at an art auction event, I knew I had to get them on the show. All of them are under 19 years old and they are called the DeBrodiez Quartet. Not only are they great musicians, they are fun, intelligent, well spoken and are carving their mark in the local orchestral scene. Hell, they played the new Holland Center before Connor Oberst did! The DeBrodiez have also released a CD to raise money to help pay for their tuition to the Rocky Mountain Summer Conservatory, a camp in Colorado they will be attending. Check out the link below and order this CD for only $12!! Help them get to camp and enjoy some great music in the process.

On the bus with AugustanaMy band Anonymous American got the opportunity to open for Augustana at Knickerbockers in Lincoln Nebraska. It was a sold out show and the guys in the band were incredibly cool to work with. I also got the chance to hang out on the tour bus and talk to a couple members about life on the road, the band and puking up wine. Kendall joins me in the studio Since Omaha got dumped on with snow and none of her friends could come over, my daughter Kendall joins me in the studio for this show. She's a natural on the mic. Pronouncing Augustana OK yeah I know through the whole show I call them "Augustana" and saying the "ana" part like the A in "Anna", when I should have said it using the long form of the A as in "Fauna." So my apologies to the band and the fans. But hey, it's my fucking show� Covering Augustana We pull some of the best and worst covers of Augustana's "Boston" from Youtube.com. Please don't sue us. Kendall and I cuss and discuss the songs Worlds of Wayne Idol style. Terabithia Kendal talks about the movie Terabithia.

It's a dirty job... My interview with Krista Detor. It was very cool. Check out part of her bio below. She will be playing in Omaha on Jan 26th at Mick's. Her album Mudshow is fantastic and I urge everyone to pick it up on iTunes or from her website. An up and coming Americana songwriter and performer, Krista began her performing career playing the wedding-cocktail party circuit as a sixteen year old in Los Angeles. While running at breakneck speed from the onset of adulthood � hiding out in Louisiana shotgun shacks, a flat in Seoul, a travel trailer, thirteen different apartments and one haunted house � she�s managed to live and perform all over the U.S. and parts of Asia. Around the turn of the century, she inexplicably found herself in the Midwest and fell in love with the rolling green hills of Southern Indiana. With the release of her new CD, Mudshow, Krista has begun to reach new levels of critical acclaim and national attention, as she tours the U.S. |

Interview with Jerzy Jung
There are two things you are probably wondering about Jerzy Jung. Wonder no more. 1.) Yes, Jerzy Jung is her real name. 2.) No, her new music, a world away from previous recordings featuring only piano and vocals, is not what you might have expected a few years ago from this NJ singer/songwriter. Raised in southern New Jersey by parents who played everything from ACDC to Marvin Gaye to Joni Mitchell in the car, Jerzy developed a hunger for all types of sounds early on. Since her college graduation in 2004, Jerzy has been entertaining and affecting east coast audiences with her sultry yet powerful vocals, poetic lyrics, and emotive live performances. Most recently, she has taken her training to the next level as a student of renowned vocal coach Don Lawrence (Tracy Bonham, Fuel, Bono, The Rolling Stones). Her new 4-song EP, produced by Alex Houton of Wu Shu Entertainment Group, is a mix of dynamic lead vocals; airtight harmonies; clever and energetic arrangements for guitar, bass, strings, and drums; and dreamy electronic accents. DiGG Me! Go to Digg.com and help me move up the Digg ladder by digging the show! Let's see what happens. Bickering Sisters Show Me and my kids made a little skit and put it on YouTube.com. It turned out quite silly, but it's fun to watch. Links: Jerzy Jung on Myspace The Bickering Sisters Show My Digg page |

ON THE PLANE!
If you were a ticket agent for the VIP plane to hell who would YOU put on it. It's a little game we play when hanging around a table of good wine and great friends. Some think it's a bit morbid, but then they don't know our sense of humor. This episode I welcome the originator of "On the plane," our friend Ms. Skyelar Hawkins. She, Laurie and myself argue over who should be on the plane. Is it good podcasting? I thought so. Now it's your turn to chime in. I should be posting the list on my Myspace site. Check it out. Don't Be Late My band Matt Whipkey and Anonymous American released our second full length record last week to critical acclaim. Check out three songs on this episode. Matt Whipkey and Anonymous American also just won an Omaha Entertainment Award in the Americana/Roots category!! Yay for us.

Santa gets cocked and goes off in an LA comedy club... Homeless For The Holidays It's that time of year and I thought it would be nice to feature a great compilation CD called "Homeless for the Holidays - A Twisted Tale." Chock full of Omaha bands rendering their finest Christmas songs, this little holiday gem benefits the Mary McAuley Center for Women and Families. A great gift for a great cause. Check out the Homers link below to get yours today. I even play a couple songs off of another Christmas complilation called "Christmas Tracks Too," which was recorded in 1998! That one benefited the Nebraska Humane Society. Ho Ho Ho. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang I got to play an Austrailian hit man on Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff's podio book "Number One With A Bullet," then I got killed. Now I get to play a Russian henchman for the rest of the story. Right ON! Thanks Mark. Check out this cool podio book and see what nasty things my character Vosler gets to do...

I was an assassin...
Got to make a guest appearance on Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff's podiobook "Number One with a Bullet." I am Austrailian assassin Derek Poole. I get killed. In fact, I think I get kicked off the top of a building. Interview with Peter Toh Peter calls me from New York and talks about his unique style of music and how the Internet offers a new way to promote his band. Check out his new songs on Myspace or at Petertoh.com. Little glass statues... The Omaha Entertainment Awards are coming and I was nominated to get one of those fancy little statues in both music and art. I'm even an academy member. Go figure. Should be an exciting ceremony. Don't count on me wearing a tux though... where's the free booze...?
