An epic six-member panel! Mega mega movie lists! Another great show in the books.
Music movies were the focus of the Nigel Tufnel Top Ten tonight, and we brought you so many that your head will spin. In a good way. Like a record. Thanks to everyone for coming on tonight:
The LeBrain Train – 2000 Words or More with Mike Ladano Episode 29
Another week, another list show, and this one comes courtesy of the founder of the Nigel Tufnel Top Ten list, Uncle Meat himself. Music Movies — with one caveat. No documentaries. Those would make a fine list on their own.
Yes folks is my first “Covideo” since April. Why? Why not. C-19 is back in Ontario for a second wave, and so are my Covideos!
In this video you can check out a couple Amazon unboxings (one toy, one CD) and get updated on the live streaming. Just a fun video, with hopefully improved production values over the ones I made in March and April.
Over the course of five lists, you will definitely find some tracks to check out for the first time, or just for a fresh listen. The discussion was brisk and entertaining as hell. You might even see cameos from Boba Fett and Thunder Bay’s own T-Bone Erickson. What songs did we pick? Was Aaron disqualified? You’ll have to watch to find out.
In addition to the AC/DC lists, we tackled a few other topics. Check the video times below to skip to the following:
An Amazon parcel & special Sven Gali swag unboxing – 0:09:30
Some praise for Max the Axe and Eric Litwiller – 0:26:00
The AC/DC lists – 0:30:50
For the after-party, general music and current events discussion – 1:55:25
This week’s episode comes to you from BURIED ON MARS! I’ve been wanting to involve him on the live show for a few months and now the time has come. His topic: AC/DC deep cuts. Back in June we did a Nigel Tufnel Top Ten AC/DC albums co-hosted by Superdekes. That was one of our best shows, but now we go deep! No hits, just AC/DC; songs that we love that you’re not going to hear on the radio.
You may have noticed I have finally picked a name for this show. I hope I picked the right one. Tonight will be the inaugural (even though I’ve been doing this six months) episode of THE LeBRAIN TRAIN: 2000 Words or More with Mike Ladano.
Thank you to old pal (26 years) and author Aaron Lebold for contributing new graphics for the show. I really appreciate it! This was my favourite of the two he made. I have more artwork coming along. I’m very grateful for your help Aaron! Maybe you can come on the show and discuss your new book Genocide.
So that’s the name…The LeBrain Train: 2000 Words or More with Mike Ladano. Or, just The LeBrain Train. Jen came up with the LeBrain Train, and rock journalist Mitch Lafon suggested the 2000 Words or More part. Thanks to everyone who dropped a suggestion! I liked them all except for James Kalyn’s — “The Lebrain Eats A Worm And A Stick YouTube Hour”!
Always happy to showcase tunes for Max the Axe, local heavy metal hero and legend!
Here’s another video of cottage memories to help keep us warm during the winter. A little dark, a little stormy, but a lovely if short fall weekend. Headphones recommended. I didn’t take a lot of pictures this time, so only a short song was necessary – “Blood Runs Red” from Million Dollar Threats.
Thanks to Rob Daniels for not one but two awesome lists, and terrific co-hosting duties! The knowledge of this man is unsurpassed. Down to microscopic detail, Rob is able to discuss virtually any soundtrack on a dime. This show was long overdue! It was the Nigel Tufnel Top Ten Soundtracks with lists from:
My hope is that this show will give you some new music to check out, I know I’ll be adding some discs to my wishlist. You’ll have to watch and see!
An extra-special thanks to Dr. Kathryn for her first video appearance and an awesome list! Apologies for the technical issues, such is the nature of live streaming. It only gets harder when I’m on location. The LeBrain Facebook page lost its feed close to the end, but if you missed anything it’s all on Youtube below.
Also thanks to Holen, Erik, Frank, Meat, Chris, Candace and everyone else for your great comments!
This long-delayed instalment of LeBrain & Friends (temporary title) is brought to you by the power of soundtracks!
Due to scheduling, this episode has been pushed back a couple times. If I’m doing soundtracks, I have to have ‘Mister Soundtracks’ on the show himself. That would be Rob Daniels from Visions In Sound. There are very few people who know more about film, TV and video game soundtracks than Rob, so prepare to be educated!
The weather looks good but can sometimes mess with the internet. If I am unable to go live tonight then I will reschedule the show.
Tonight Rob and I will run down the Nigel Tufnel Top Ten Soundtracks! Everything is fair game. In fact my understanding is that Rob will be bringing us two lists: scores, and standard soundtrack discs! Participants include:
Just looking for ways to get some local bands heard. Seems a drive around Kitchener-Waterloo is a good video background for a band from Kitchener-Waterloo called Max the Axe.
From their sixth record Status Electriccomes “Scales of Justice” written by Mike Koutis and Eric Litwiller. The lyrics tell a truthful tale of why only a fool owns a deadly snake let alone two.
This video is sped up 10x and was filmed on Saturday 9/5/2020 in the afternoon.
