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 Electric comes “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.
Thanks to Greg Fraser, Patrick Gagliardi, and surprise guest Brian Hamilton of Storm Force for joining me on a Friday night! It was a free-form chat tackling subjects such as:
And much much more!
In addition I did a CD reveal for this week’s mail. New music from Amazon! Check it out if you want to know what I’ll be spinning this weekend.
For the CD reveals, start at 0:04:15 of the stream.
For Storm Force, skip to 0:16:50 of the stream.
Thanks again to Greg, Pat, and Brian for setting this chat up. It was the first but won’t be the last.
You don’t have to feel obligated to watch this video. These videos are more for me than anyone else. This time I wanted to keep intact the camera audio from the weekend. The sights and sounds (and smells, natch) of the countryside are preserved here. Instead of mixing my still and moving pictures as I usually do, all the stills can be found in the latter part of this video accompanied by the track “Masked” by Dr. Kathryn Ladano.
I saw a lot of birds this weekend (including geese and a family of wild turkeys) and managed to capture a bit on video. Nature lovers will enjoy the wildlife and greenery, the stormy skies and the churning lake. There are some seriously breathtaking pictures of the sky in this video, as well as a blooper and cameos by Sith Lords and Sausagefesters.
Wind and rain aside, it was a lovely weekend full of music, live streaming, barbecuing and the beach.
In contrast to last week’s 3+ hour show, a shorter one for you tonight. Short but cool, if “a little light on the Scott Peddle content” according to my Yelp reviews. The subject of friendship and the music that connects us was the topic for this hour. But then, as if summoned by the Live Stream gods…came a surprise.
The very first official live stream FROM SAUSAGEFEST. Say hello to Seb, Dr. Dave, the Meat Man, Bucky, Tyler and the rest of the gang! To skip to this part of the stream go to 1:04:50 below.
Rob Daniels also joined at the end. Enjoy the show!
If all goes according to plan, I will be going live tonight at 6:30 PM E.S.T as a solo artist once again!
Unfortunately the weather is looking like storms all weekend, which can mess with the internet. If I am unable to go live tonight then I will reschedule the show.
This show’s theme is another one suggested by Superdekes: Friendship! Good friends, and all the great tunes that connect them. Music, and pals! The reason for this week’s topic is simple.
Today begins the 19th annual Sausagefest. I’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to stay isolated this year. While I am 100% confident that none of my friends will get sick, I am practising a stricter social distancing policy. 2020 is a seriously screwed up year, and this year I’m valuing family more than ever. If I want to spend time under the same roof as my parents at the cottage, and have them be comfortable with that, then I need to respect them by adhering to the same distancing as they are. If I want to be enjoying my “happy place” with them, then I need to respect that.
Because I cannot be with my friends today, I’ll be talking about them. My “Nostalgia Stream“, about my childhood best friend Bob, was one of the most popular shows I’ve done. He had a huge impact on me musically, but so did others. This time we’ll be talking about some of the other colourful characters in my crazy life, all centred around the love of rock and roll.
As before, when I’m done yammering on I’ll open it up for others to join in!

!!Attention!!
I have been told by someone younger and more knowledgeable about such things that shows like mine need a name. Apparently that’ll help with exposure. The following names have all been suggested. Please leave a comment with your favourite or a suggestion of your own.
* Guess who suggested that one.
Recently I had the absolute pleasure of being interviewed by Mr. Sebastien Munier for his brand new Geek VLOG series. (Long time followers may remember Seb from my short-lived Tyler & LeBrain series of podcasts.) His excellent new YouTube show features 10 questions for geeky friends. Thank you Seb for having me on, it was an honour and I hope everyone subscribes to your new show. I know I will continue watching.
Please enjoy the interview below.
That. Was. Epic.
Three (or four, or five, or six?) guests. Six lists. One unboxing. A marathon live stream like none before. Bear witness to the greatest Nigel Tufnel Top Ten list ever as we rhyme off our favourite concerts.
For the unboxing, go to 0:05:30 of the stream.
For the start of the lists, skip to 0:32:10.
Thank you Mom and T-Bone for your lists! Thanks to Meat, Mr. Books, and Superdekes for co-hosting. Special thanks to Rob Daniels for joining us at the end! And as always thanks to YOU for watching!
This week’s topic comes to you from the originator of the Nigel Tufnel Top Ten series of lists, Uncle Meat himself.
Top 11 Favourite Concerts of All Time!
We may have listed “best concerts” before, but this will be special. Meat, Mr. Books and Superdekes will be joining me Friday night at 7:00 PM E.S.T. with as many facts as we can recall about our favourite concert experiences. There will also be one “surprise” list that will blow you away.
Now fuelled by Streamyard, the shows keep getting better and better! There have been so many great list ideas that we have not got to yet. We have new guests lined up. Critical to this growth has been Kevin/Buried On Mars who hooked me up with Streamyard, vastly improving the quality of the show. I’m very fortunate to have Uncle Meat by my side with his Nigel Tufnel Top Ten concept. I think if Meat didn’t come up with that idea, these live streams might have ended a long time ago! And of course Superdekes, who has gone above and beyond the call of duty on multiple occasions. He doesn’t have to do this, but he loves doing it!
Join us 7:00 PM E.S.T. for the big show! Facebook: Michael Ladano or Facebook: MikeLeBrain. YouTube: Mike LeBrain.
Just went live with John from 2loud2oldmusic.com! Check out our KISS-heavy chat below. John comes in at the 05:05 mark.
Self explanatory. Music by MAX THE AXE: “Livin’ the Country” and “More” from Overload.
