A wise man once said, “Life is like a box of chocolates.Β You never know what you’re gonna get.”Β @MarriedandHeels declined to participate for her scheduled time slot.Β I booked this afternoon off for her.Β Β I won’t mislead you, or her fans, about what happened.Β We had a disagreement last week regarding her “new direction” (topless Fridays) and my willingness to watch.Β If you ask her, she’ll tell you the same story.Β The disagreement was so severe that I had to cancel my Metallica episode that I planned for that night.Β As for the following week, I had already booked May 12 off for her to do Grab A Stack of Rock.Β It gets better….
@MarriedandHeels was still welcome to appear on this episode that was meant to be hers, and she declined to show up.Β Why?Β Because she scheduled her own stripshow at the same time on OnlyFans.Β However, the gods disapproved, and she failed due to technical issues!Β She could have joined me, but karma and the universe worked together to spite her.Β Β Oh well!Β Hope she enjoyed her day at home alone, not making any money or having any fun with us.Β Yes, I’m a little bitter that this happened.Β We are still friends, but this has undoubtedly changed our relationship, permanently.
So, this week’s box of chocolates includes some sweet surprise guests!Β Jex Russell co-hosted, and harpist Grace Scheele dropped by for a bit to talk about her cassette tape Landings.Β The end result is one of my favourite shows!Β Top ten?
Max the Axe’s garage sale scores were the main focus of the show, with a second on cottage stories and musical memories.Β We told the previously unrevealed tale of Max’s carbon monoxide detector collection.Β We tributed the man himself with song after song, going over two hours!
Best of all:Β a first.Β A chipmunk visiting the show, captured on camera, live.Β Twice.Β And animal lover @MarriedandHeels could have been there for it.
Life is like a box of chocolates indeed!Β I say, eat on.Β The No More Heels tour of 2023 begins!Β Β

Episode 19: Back to Basics Friday
I must apologize for the suddenly cancelled show last week.Β A lot of stuff went down about 30 minutes before showtime, and I was occupied with another priority.
It can now we said:Β This episode was supposed to be for MarriedandHeels.Β I booked the afternoon off FOR HER.Β And now we have to go on without her.Β Thanks a lot.
Today I need to take it easy, so we’re going back to basics.Β My first solo show in years.Β I want to do it in the afternoon, not evening, so it’ll be 3:00 PM E.S.T.
I’ll be reading from Tim Durling’s book Unspooled.Β I have my treasures from Max the Axe’s garage sale to show.Β We have a demo of the Kenwood tape deck featuring the music of Grace Scheele.Β I’ll be unboxing new discs, and otherwise just winging it! Β Hope to see some of you then.Β I know it’s not an ideal time, but I don’t want to be broadcasting live during sunset!Β So afternoon it is.
Friday May 12 at 3:00 P.M. E.S.T.Β Enjoy on YouTube or on Facebook!
I love getting a musical education from Todd in the Shadows!Β He’s musically educated and far more knowledgeable about pop and hip-hop than I’ll ever be.
Run DMC are not my thing, and I was largely ignorant of their influence and their unique style.Β Todd demonstrates their beats and importance with plenty of video clips.Β But his main focus this time was their “comeback” album Crown Royal.Β An album that took years to make and release, due to legal wranglings over guest appearances and DMC’s lack of involvement.Β Todd conjectures that a disapproving D didn’t record a single note for this album.Β He could be right.Β A trainwreckord indeed, Crown Royal sounds like a desperate attempt to meet Y2k head on, and failing.Β No amount of Fred Dursts or Third Eyes Blind could save this record commercially and artistically.
This was a 30 minute viewing that flew right by.Β Entertaining and educational.
Weaksauce, Watch Mojo!Β Weaksauce!Β Never trust non-music people to come up with decent music lists.Β Is that gatekeeping?Β Damn right – and Davey 504 is the gatekeeper.Β There were a couple songs that he considered worthy of the list…and many he just made mincemeat of.
Watch and learn.
Didn’t even last one day at the beach.Β 0/5 stars
First cottage show is done for the record books!
Two surprise guests made this nice extra special:Β John T. Snow of 2Loud2OldMusic, and my wife Jen!Β Together with Harrison, Kevin and Rob, we looked at:
Thanks for watching everyone!

Episode 18:Β New Arrivals (and some books)
It’s finally that time.Β First cottage show of the year!Β We have been looking forward to this since November.
This week, we plan on looking at some new musical arrivals with Harrison, Rob Daniels and Kevin “Canadian Grooves” Simister.Β I’ll have some books to go over, and of course, we have “Ask Harrison” with a question from the California Girl.
Notes:Β This being the first cottage show of the season, please allow for —
But the show must go on, and we hope it will!Β Please allow for any difficulties that a cottage show in April may cause, especially the first one.Β Who knows if the internet will work in the weather we are expecting.Β If all goes well, see you then!
