Sweaty Sticky Summer 28 Jul 2010, 9:14 am

This heat wave that is sweeping across the country is getting to all of us so I thought a healthy dose of some summer time chilled tunes on today’s Accident Hash would help everyone push through the sweaty sticky times.

Back in the Saddle Again 8 Feb 2010, 9:37 am

The first NEW show of year 6 of Accident Hash has me sharing nothing but brand new tunes with you. I want to apologize now that I have a bit of a new audio set up and listening back I noticed that the microphone is lower then it should be. Sorry in advance for you having to turn your volume up and down on this episode. I’ll have it fixed for the next show, but the music sounds good and THAT is what is most important!

Five Years and 300 Episodes 10 Jan 2010, 3:27 pm

Five years ago I decided I wanted to do a total music show. I had been doing a podcast for a few weeks and thought it would be fun to do a music one and Accident Hash was born. Over those years we’ve played a lot of great music, made a lot of friends and build up a community known as Homefrys.

I had plans to record a special episode tonight, but you guys and gals around the world had other ideas because YOU recorded this episode. I haven’t listened to it yet, but you can before I do!

I have the best fans and friends in the world. You ALL rock.

Update: My thoughts and the video archive of the show are now on my blog.

Audience and Owen 12 Nov 2009, 9:14 am

Last week I went to The Audience Conference and had an amazing experience. Read my thoughts on the day if you are curious for more information, but the best thing for you here is that I discovered two new artists that you get to check out on today’s Accident Hash.

Audience & Owen

Artists featured on this episode:

• Jason Liebman – Sweet Sacrifice & The Stars Above
• Rachel Platten – Speak Slow & Honeybees
• Allison Crowe – Going Home Tonight

I’m sorry about the audio on the show. After I released it I noticed that my software appears to have used my Mac’s microphone instead of my usual one. Thankfully I didn’t do much talking on this show and that the music still sounds awesome which is the most important thing.

Please send some positive thoughts and hugs to my good friend Owen who is going to have the hardest day of his life today followed by some weeks of sadness so he is going to need the support.

Accident Mash 5 – Inauguration Day Special 20 Jan 2009, 7:54 am

Listen to Accident Mash #5
Welcome President Obama

Yesterday my good friend Ewan Spence and I connected through the power of Skype and recorded this special episode of Accident Mash. Ewan is the host of TPN Rock and someone that I’m glad podcasting has brought into my life.

This special episode was recorded on Martin Luther King Jr. Day here in America and we wanted to release it today on Inauguration Day. Accident Hash is very happy to welcome President Obama into the White House. I’ve been a supporter of his since he announced his candidacy and today is a VERY good day.

I don’t think it matters what candidate you supported during the elections, you’ve got to admit that today is a very special day in America. So we wanted to give you a soundtrack to enjoy the day by.

Artists featured on this episode:

• Rock It Steady – Kill Van Kull
• Dream in Color – Black Lab
• Obama’s Scottish Song – Alan Scot
• Shady – Rayko KRB
• Bring Me Safely Down – The Matthew Show
• Ursula Major, Ursula Minor – Bleu
• Tilzing the Walda – The Martians
• Better Day – Now is Now

Ewan and I have a lot of fun doing these shows. We pick songs, we play them, we never quite know how they are going to come out, but we always have a good time.

I’m looking forward to the next four years in a big way. I hope they are a great 4 years and I believe they will be!

First Show of Year Five 14 Jan 2009, 9:04 am
