SmartassRadio 48: Interview: Tim Millar of Protest the Hero

protest_the_hero_DJ_and_Tim.jpg After what felt like three months without a post we’re back with a killer interview. To celebrate completing school my girl and I went on one of the most metal tears ever. My last day of class was 5/6/09 and I capped it with an extreme performance by GWAR at the Chance in Poughkeepsie then after a night of debauchery with Frank we were off to NYC. On Friday, we caugh the No Fear Energy Music Tour with Lamb of God, As I Lay Dying (who definitely deserve a new found respect from me), Children of Bodom (who only played three songs – Alexi “Avian Bone Syndrome” Laiho destroyed his shoulder and couldn’t perform) and God Forbid. On Sunday we were able to see Mastodon perform Crack the Skye at the Williamsburgh Theater in Brooklyn – if you have the opportunity, you have to go.

But Saturday is truly the important night right now. I had the opportunity to sit down with Protest the Hero guitarist Tim Millar and got a great interview. Tim was a great guy and the staff at the Blender Theater was one of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Being in the midst of the most metal weekend I’ve ever had, I didn’t have too much time to prepare so please bear with the interview as I stumble through the first few questions. Also worth noting is the fact that Roy coming to the interview wasn’t ever even an option, so I don’t know why I felt it necessary to say he “pussed out.” I’m a horrible friend. Below is the interview and a flash gallery. After the jump is another gallery if you have trouble with this one and a transcription of some of the highlights.

SmartassRadio 47: Last Live Show on WFNP

edge-logo.jpg

Hey all, here’s a bitter-sweet podcast (or “Bittersuite” as Motley Crue would have you believe, Nikki Sixx is a god damned poet) – the recording of my last college radio show. Honestly I think it’s one of our best ever. Tommi-Grace Melito sat in with us and we had a really good time. Thanks to everyone for all the love receiecved last night, it really meant a lot to me.

I also decided to include the last ever In-Crowd from the night before. The In-Crowd was my other show with Tommi, and Jesse “NoWonder” Martinez. Again, definitely one of our better shows. For once, I think I can say I was on my game two nights in a row… you be the judge

Special Podcast: DJ on The Magnificent Glass Pelican

Hey dudes – It seems like I’ve been cranking out an obscene amount of audio for you guys (because I have). Here’s some more: an episode of New Paltz’s Magnificent Glass Pelican radio show I had the privaledge of guesting on this week. It’s a great improv show every Wednesday night from 7:30 to 8:00 on WFNP.ORG

I had a great time being on the show and I hope they enjoyed having me and my pathetic excuse for improv chops wasting their time. Thanks to John and Sean for letting me barge in (I come in about 6:20ish).

SmartassRadio 46: Interview: Tony Fredianelli of Third Eye Blind

I’m a total ass – I messed up the first eight minutes of this excellent interview by not having my board settings correct. So, here’s what you get (still 20 minutes long…)

SmartassRadio 44: Live Show Feb. 19, 2008

Here’s the live show from almost two months ago. I’m slowly making my way through all the shows since this one. We cover a ton of topics, but perhaps the best comes about 17 min. in. Pitchfork gave the 1989 album Paul’s Boutique by the Beastie Boys a 10/10. That’s stupid.

THIS is the official debut of The In-Crowd on the Internet. It’s my (DJ) second show on The Edge and it’s co-hosted by friends Tommi-Grace Melito and Jesse “NoWonder” Martinez.

SmartassRadio 43: Live Show Feb. 12, 2009

This week we actually did what I would consider a good show. We started off talking about a bunch of crazy-ass women (their pictures are below), then we discussed my recent act of douchery, Valentine’s day, Power Rangers, Roy threatened Chris Brown and challenged him to a wrestling match, we ended the show with a brief Oscar/Grammy discussion. There is a lot of stuff going on here. As always check the show out live THURSDAYS 8-11PM EST on WFNP.ORG to participate live!

Here are some lunatic women and what they did this week:

Margaret Cho wrote a song about Miley Cyrus. Because Margaret Cho has never, ever made a joke about Asians and/or their appearance. Unfunny twat.

This crazy bitch set her mother on fire. Shocking.

set-own-house-on-fire.jpg

This meth addict set her own house on fire… and claimed it was because of her support for Barack Obama.

Leanne Rimes on Jupiter whored herself. WHILE SHE WAS TEACHING A 4TH GRADE CLASS.
