Zombie Movie Up On YouTube

Friday, November 16th, 2007

OK, the Zombie short-film I did with the After School Specialists is now up on YouTube and can be seen by clicking here. You’ll hear my music throughout, and also see cameos by some of your favorite Hulihees - Todd Marrone, Russell Gellman, and Ron Foligno. I’m also in there as a one-armed zombie, but only for a quick flash in the middle during the “gauntlet” scene (the second zombie that the main character avoids - right after the bloody nurse zombie) - and then again during the end title (seen below - I’m all the way to the left).

This is the film that won us 1st place in the Dogfish Head competition - great stuff!

UWR Podcast 39 is Live

Wednesday, November 14th, 2007

Used Wigs Radio podcast 39 is now available - it’s an old school ‘cast, with just the three of us talking/arguing about music, pop culture, and other nonsense…including, in this case, dangerous deoderants. I don’t have the heart to post the supporting picture Jeff is using for the latest cast on my own site, but by clicking the link above you’ll see the latest that his madenss has generated. Enjoy!

Best of Used Wigs Radio v.1

Monday, November 12th, 2007

As some of you may know, recently the Used Wigs Radio team decided to pull our old shows from iTunes and off the Used Wigs server since we were a bit concerned about the RIAA coming down on people for copyright issues. While 95% of what we did in the past was done with permission, well, we just didn’t want to take any chances going forward. So, shows 1-36 evaporated into thin air.

In some ways that’s a good thing since the first few shows were anything but polished, and now we’ve really hit our stride. However, it does mean that some great guest spots got removed - although now it just gives us a chance to have them back on the show! Still, we didn’t want the celebrity interviews we’ve done to just vanish - so, we’ve got two “Best of Used Wigs Radio Interviews” shows in the can - the first of which can now be downloaded from www.usedwigsradio.com.

The first “Best of” features Todd’s interviews with comedic heavyweights Jim Gaffigan and Mike Birbiglia - tune in and enjoy!

After School Specialists in Rehoboth

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

So, we (The After School Specialists) just got back from our trip to the Rehoboth Film Festival this weekend in Rehoboth, DE - where we got to see our award winning film “Dogfish Head Day Afternoon Of The Dead” on the big screen! It was a very cool thing to hear my music out loud in a commercial movie theater, and hopefully that’ll be the first time of many. The audience reaction was fantastic, and we were really treated very well - I hope we win first place more often! We had a big entourage with us, and spent last night hanging out with Dogfish Head owner Sam Calagione (who bought us a few pitchers of the 60-Minute IPA…marvelous!) - who I’m happy to report is a fantastic and down to Earth guy, and who should be fervently supported - and various other directors, producers, writers, and actors (there was a lot of “hey, wasn’t the guy from…”).It was great weekend and reward for a lot of hard work, and more than that, a catalyst to keep doing these kinds of things. A few new A.S.S. projects are in the works - stay tuned!

Also - the movie will soon be available on the Dofish Head website - I will of course post again when you can view it.

Whoop!
