Thanks for watching everyone!
GRAB A STACK OF ROCK…with Mike and the Mad Metal Man
Episode 18: New Arrivals (and some books)
It’s finally that time. First cottage show of the year! 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. I’ll have some books to go over, and of course, we have “Ask Harrison” with a question from the California Girl.
Notes: This being the first cottage show of the season, please allow for —
But the show must go on, and we hope it will! Please allow for any difficulties that a cottage show in April may cause, especially the first one. Who knows if the internet will work in the weather we are expecting. If all goes well, see you then!
Friday Apr 28 at 7:00 P.M. E.S.T. Enjoy on YouTube or on Facebook!
This tooth-themed song comes courtesy of Kevin over at CanadianGrooves! This song comes from Weird Al Yankovic’s 4th record Polka Party! It was not one of Al’s more successful albums, earning mixed reviews and not a lot of hits. “Living With A Hernia” comes from the same album. Hopefully I do not end up a toothless person.
They only show you their gums when they smile
Ain’t got a tooth in their heads now, how vile
Only can eat things like pudding and applesauce
They never have to buy toothpicks or dental floss
Hey, stand up
Toothless people, their breath is lethal, want to tell you
Hey, come on, stand up, get on your feet
Toothless people, old and feeble, what I say
No more of those pearly whites will they possess
Their oral hygiene is frightful, a mess
Lots of ’em suffering from trench mouth and gum disease
At least they don’t have to worry ’bout cavities
Hey, stand up, take out your teeth
Toothless people, old and feeble, oh yes
You can brush ’em, you can floss ’em
They’re something you just can’t ignore
If you lose ’em, you’re in trouble
‘Cause the tooth fairy won’t come no more
You need something to show your dentist
The next time he makes you say “Ah”
You don’t want to have to wind up
Eating all of your food through a straw
You’d better brush your teeth now (hey)
Toothless, toothless, toothless, toothless people
Hey, stand up, toothless people
“Best show ever!” – Kevin
“Not even top 50.” – Chris Sarre
The MVP tonight was Kevin from Canadian Grooves for going superdeeeeeep with his Tenacious D picks! “I am not worthy!” said Meat. Indeed Kevin did dig deep into the obscure for his excellent list. Between the three of us, you will find a terrific balance of deep cuts and mainstream hits. All of which, you should check out!
Thank you boys for a great show tonight! If all goes according to plan I’ll be going live again next Friday for another Show & Tell episode!

Episode 110 – Nigel Tufnel Top Ten-acious D Tracks
This is just a “tribute”! Well, no, not really. But it will be great fun regardless. Thank Uncle Meat, as he arranged this week’s episode and guest himself. Tonight, Meat and Kevin from Canadian Grooves are joining me to talk about the notoriously tenacious comedy-rock duo of Jack Black and Kyle Gass. The greatest band in the world? Perhaps — which is why we’re doing Top 11 lists of this band’s greatest songs.
The duo met in 1986 and started playing gigs 1994, with their name a reference to the basketball term “tenacious defence”. Their demo led to the short lived TV series, befriending Dave Grohl, and eventually their debut album in 2001. It’s been pure legend since!
Sourcing tunes from their four albums, many singles, HBO TV show and more, you can count of lots of laughs tonight. As usual, you’ll want to catch this live!
Friday May 27, 7:00 PM E.S.T. on YouTube, Facebook and also Facebook!
Thanks to the Kevin from Canadian Grooves for co-hosting tonight! Our special guest was Mr. Tee Bone Erickson, who has provided all the theme music for the LeBrain Train and Scotch on the Rocks over the past year. Tee Bone has a long history with writing and recording tunes, going back to Thunder Bay’s Current River with Deke. Fast forward a few decades, and Tee Bone has found new creative license writing songs for the Community. And now you can buy them on Bandcamp. Yes, you can now have “Open Door Piss” and “HBD to the Mad Metal Man” in your mp3 library!
We quizzed Tee Bone on inspiration, process, and hardware. We saw some guitars and heard some riffs performed for us live. Most of all — we laughed!
Look for a special “meaty” Cinco de Listo from a certain uncle….
Thanks for joining us if you did! If you didn’t — watch below!

Episode 93 – The Tunes of Tee Bone
Special guest: Tee Bone Erickson!
For those of you who know and love the hits of Tee Bone, this show is for you! To celebrate the launch of his brand new Bandcamp site, Tee Bone will be our special guest tonight. That’s right! You can now buy high quality downloads of Tee Bone’s original songs on Bandcamp! Together they make for a white-hot nine track EP.
Joining me will be the Canadian Groover himself, Kevin AKA Buried On Mars. Kevin was the first to download Tee Bone’s music and like me, he’s a huge fan. Together we shall appreciate our special guest Tee Bone, and his growing discography of quirky catchy tunes with clever comical lyrics! We’ll chat about the tunes and what inspired them, and you will hear a whole bunch too!
Get ready to “drink water from the hose” before you take an “open door piss”! Show up early to see a very cool Aero-unboxing….
