notmovingpictures Episode 056: Roadtripping

I promise new episodes are coming with Tommy. As a matter of fact I am editing them now but in the meantime I felt like talking about music so here you go. Another episode of me rambling along about the recent concerts I've seen and those that are upcoming. Names like Prong, Sepultura, Testament, Local H have been seen and those like X, Alice Cooper, Megadeth and Scorpions are all on the schedule amongst others. Once again there is talk about wanting to do new music because I have a ton of lyrical ideas sitting and waiting but also about trying to learn to play a little guitar. It's not too long of an episode so go ahead and check it out.

Megadeth at the Fillmore Auditorium, Denver 2/23/16

I've taken my sweet time in getting to this but finally, here are some pictures from the Megadeth show I road tripped to with Tommy, Chris and Robbie. I'm still learning to use the camera on this new (to me) phone. We were at the back so I zoomed in quite a bit and thought they looked good on the phone. When I pulled them off onto my laptop though, they didn't seem quite as impressive. You be the judge.

notmovingpictures Episode 039: The Extremely Long Return Road Trip

This very short episode was recorded on the return road trip to Denver. Tommy was pretty much wiped out energy wise and to be honest so were the rest of us so he chose not to talk. The drive through Southeastern Colorado is rather boring as is the Oklahoma Panhandle. Nothing but miles and miles of farmland. So I made a recap of the trip before signing off but that really isn't the end. I tagged on a short piece that I recorded after seeing Iron Maiden here in Tulsa just a few days later. Since I was driving I finished and what you hear last is a very long song from Iron Maiden off of their most recent album. Hope you like it.

notmovingpictures Episode 038: Road Trip To Megadeth

Episode 39 of notmovingpictures is a rambling discourse between Tommy and myself as we make the oh so long drive to Denver to see Megadeth in concert. Among the myriad of topics we touch on are:

Collective unconscious
Psychedelics/marijuana and their medicinal abilities and how Big Pharma wants treatments, not cures
How the music industry has changed in our lifetimes
What taking a road trip to see bands means to us
The need to rid ourselves of career politicians and why outsiders like Sanders, Trump and Carson are finding support
The culture of fame in sports, music and politics
Police shootings, faux outrage and no outrage about Flint
The news we are presented with is slanted and biased
Military operations and bombings in countries without Congressional approval
Obama being more Conservative than Bush but not recognized in the press
Laws attempting to be passed in the guise of religious freedom that really discriminate

As you can see we roamed over a lot of territory but it was the most interesting part of the drive. The Oklahoma Panhandle and Southeastern Colorado both have a glaring lack of things to keep you interested. Just miles and miles of farmland whichever way you look. So go ahead and listen.

Ten For Tuesday Episode 090: Old School Metal Roadtrip

It's another road trip episode. Since we are in Denver to see Megadeth and Suicidal Tendencies and will see Iron Maiden back in Tulsa on Friday I decided to do an early to mid 80s heavy metal/hard rock episode. The 2nd set of songs all feature Jimmy Bain and the last........well the band names all begin with A. So it adds up to a rather cool group of songs and that's alright with me.



Megadeth - Killing Is My Business And Business Is Good
Suicidal Tendencies - I Saw Your Mommy
Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes To Midnight
Dio - We Rock
Gary Moore - Hiroshima
Hear N' Aid - Stars
Wild Horses - Face Down
Alcatraz - Island In The Sun
Armored Saint - Can U Deliver
Accept - Fast As A Shark

Ten For Tuesday is a podcast dedicated to playing the music I couldn't find anywhere else. The music I like varies from style to style, genre to genre and era to era. You will hear punk, ska, rock, Americana, metal, country, rockabilly and more from all over the world. It doesn't matter if it's a major label or indie as long as I like it then it gets played. The motto is Less Talk More Music which means you won't hear me waxing poetic for fifteen minutes between songs. At TFT its all about the music...and me of course.

notmovingpictures Episode 037: The Day Before The Road Trip

This is a quick short episode where I touch on the impending road trip to Denver to See Megadeth and Suicidal Tendencies. It's a sorely needed stress break. Why? Because it seems major changes are coming with my job, how much and in what timeframe it's too early to tell. Once we get back from the road trip we're going to see Iron Maiden here in Tulsa so it will be a busy week. I also talk a little bit about the Peruvian Presidential elections but I hope to do a later more in depth episode in order to give the topic the time it deserves. We'll see. Also, I have a new song by The Slackers and it seems to fit, so take that.

notmovingpictures Episode 020: Road Trips Past And Future?

Episode 19 was the reunion of the four who went to see Journey in 1983 and we didn't even talk about the concert. Tommy and Don rectify that in this episode as they try to search their fading memories for details. Then our dastardly duo go on to talk about the future of road trips as bands get older and eventually will stop touring. Just who is left to warrant a drive of four to seven hours in our ongoing quest to see the bands and know new cities? Listen and find our answers, feeble though they may be.

New Podcast Episode notmovingpictures 018: Road Trip To Iron Maiden

A few weeks back Tommy and I (and his son Chris) took a road trip to Kansas City to see Iron Maiden and Megadeth in concert. While there, we met up with Shane (guitarist/vocalist for Alloy) who has been working in the area. We went to book stores, music stores and ate lots of good local food. Although there was a good deal of talking going on it wasn't until we started our drive back that we decided to record this episode. We talk about the concert and how the experience differs from when we were Chris' age (a lot more orderly and a lot less of a smoky haze enveloping the venue) my summer vacation to Peru, our old fraternity friend Bobby who was in a Hospice, society changing away from personal responsibility and Alloy's next show. It's basically a recap of what has been going on since our last episode was recorded in June. Forgive the rough sound, that's what happens when you record in a moving vehicle.

Road Trip To Iron Maiden

Here's a couple of shots from the concert Saturday Night. Tommy, Chris and I took a road trip to Kansas City to see Megadeth opening for Iron Maiden. Yes we had nosebleed seats and right now my Sony Bloggie isn't usable so I had to use a dinky little one so the vast majority of the pictures are unusable. At least the trip has been fun. More to come later.

Pictures from Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer

Okay, after too much time I finally get to sit down at the computer and do something. This is the easy way of doing it, just some pictures of the concert in Dallas that I went to on September 24th featuring Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer.

Video of Anthrax and Megadeth in Dallas

UPDATED: 10/4/10 I had to restart the computer and even then it took about an hour and a half for the video to upload to YouTube. At least it's on here now.

Okay, the sound is pretty crappy and the image is jerky but that's what happens when you zoom in with my camera. The littlest movement makes it look like an earthquake is shaking everything up. But at least I got it. I'm having difficulty getting the Anthrax video on here but I'll keep trying so I can update this.

Megadeth

Megadeth and Slayer Playing In Dallas 9/24/10

Okay, so the other two bands on the Jagermeister Music Tour are Megadeth and Slayer. I saw Megadeth about a year or so ago and like them so they are an added bonus. Slayer on the other hand I never really have been into. They just never reached me so I'm not anticipating much from their set. Don't get me wrong, they are part of the Big Four for a reason it's just that they're not my thing. Perhaps I'll be surprised by them, perhaps not. All I can do is to keep an open mind. I've been pleasantly surprised by bands before.
