Rock N Roll Manifesto 139

Rock N Roll Manifesto 139

This time on the Manifesto I started off with songs about the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher, since she just passed away. Apparently, people really didn’t like her much. The Manifesto is normally a mixed bag of stuff, and this episode … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 134: Cover Your Ass 2

Rock N Roll Manifesto 134: Cover Your Ass 2

Episode 134 was another installment of Cover Your Ass, a show where I play original songs backed with a cover version. I almost didn’t do this show, but I think it turned out pretty good after some late tweaking to … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 131: NOT Valentine’s Day

Rock N Roll Manifesto 131: NOT Valentine’s Day

The annual NOT Valentine’s Day edition of the Rock N Roll Manifesto! Songs about hurtin’, heartbreak, cryin’, breakin’ up, etc. Had a weird Beer Minute tonight that I believe was skunked, so I had to do another one. Damn you, … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 130

Rock N Roll Manifesto 130

This episode contained the first ever Interactive Beer Minute. Pretty cool. I hope next time more folks can participate live. I will certainly do it again. The music tonight was more of the same, with maybe a surprise or two. … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 129

A Manifesto put together by the seat of my pants. I didn’t get all the songs picked for this show until the last minute. Hopefully, you won’t be able to tell. In this episode I announced a new, interactive Beer … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 128: Cover Your Ass!

Tonight was the first of a series of shows where I play an original song and then a cover version of it. I’m sure I could do quite a few of these shows, but I’ll probably just do one or … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 127

Rock N Roll Manifesto 127

This week’s show started off with some 50′s rock n roll and rockabilly, then moved over to some country, punk, and a whole lot more down the line. Had a damn fine Beer Minute tonight, an announcement about my country … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 126

This week on the Manifesto, I announced the winner of the Stevie Tombstone LP, blew up the Manifesto Facebook page, had two Beer Minutes, an Elvis Education and still had time for lots of great music. Yes, the Facebook page … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 124

The post X-mess show! There was no real reason for it, but I picked out a whole shitload of rockabilly for tonight’s show. It wasn’t all rockabilly, though, there was a ton of other stuff, too, including a brand new … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 123

Happy Holidays, folks! Manifesto 123 was as close to an Xmas episode as we’re going to get this year, with 3 sets of Xmas tunes to get you all in the mood (or not). Also, we had some black metal, … Continue reading

Episode 122 brought a rant about the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, a set in memory of Otis Redding and Sam Cooke, some Xmas tunes, a kick-ass last minute band submission by the Enders (go buy their CD!), some … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 121

Happy Repeal Day! Yes, Dec. 5th, 1933 the 18th Amendment to the US Constitution was repealed and the 21st Amendment was ratified, allowing Americans to drink beer, wine and spirits again. There was much rejoicing. Tonight on the show I … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 120

Another week, another journey down the musical rabbit hole that is the Rock N Roll Manifesto. Started the show an hour early tonight, which I may do more often. More on that during the show. Not much more to say. … Continue reading

An extra long episode tonight! Brand new tracks from the Creeping Ivies and the Bonnevilles! The final(?) Brats in Leather Jackets! Two Beer Minutes! Lots of exclamation points! Happy Turkey Day. Cheers!

Rock N Roll Manifesto 118

The return! That’s right, after a two week absence the Manifesto returned. I don’t know about you folks, but to me, two weeks seemed like an eternity. I really missed doing the show. So glad to be back! Since I … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 117: Halloween

It’s that time of year: Halloween! Since I started the Manifesto I’ve done two of these Halloween shows every year, but I started to feel like I was running out of stuff to play, so I thought I’d cut it … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 116

This felt like a big show. Was it? You be the judge. There surely was lots of new stuff: a reissue, some new releases, and some mind blowing stuff that was new to me, but not really new.  Top it … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 115: Stevie Tombstone and More

Big show tonight!! Stevie Tombstone joined me for the first 90 minutes, talking about and playing tracks from his upcoming album, “Greenwood.” We even had a CD giveaway! After that  I played about 30 minutes or more of random stuff … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 112: Rapid Pulse Records

Tonight’s show was dedicated entirely to Rapid Pulse Records releases. Rapid Pulse has been putting out records for 20 years, and it’s all killer stuff, as evidenced by this here podcast. Not a bad song in the bunch! Unfortunately for … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 111

For some reason the chat and the stream on Real Punk Radio was dead as dead can be tonight. It was so dead, I thought about packing it in, until I remembered that most of my listeners download the show. … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 110: Black

Tonight’s songs all revolved around the color of my soul: black! Yes, all the titles had something to do with my favorite color, black. Anything that fit the theme was fair game, so there was a bit of this and … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 109

I started the show 3o minutes early this week so you folks get some extra music in your weekly podcast. Bonus! Had another installment of Diggin’ Through the Record Crate and a Beer Minute featuring one of my favorite beers … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 108

Remember when I talked about infected beers a few weeks ago on the show? Well, I’m pretty sure I got one live on the air tonight. It wasn’t the worst Band-Aid flavor I ever experienced, so I couldn’t be sure … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 107

I took some requests earlier in the week which provided some good tracks for the show, including 2 sets of 70′s punk, a Wall of Voodoo cover, Geza X, Bill Haley and New Model Army! There was no Brats in … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 102

Lots of power pop this time around, a set of 50′s songs about ridiculous clothing, some doo wop, girl groups, punk rock, rockabilly, mod, R&B, garage, glam, street punk and so much more! A normal Manifesto episode, I suppose. My … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 101

The beginning of tonight’s show was riddled with technical difficulties, so I had to stop the show and start over, which totally threw a wrench in the gears. Luckily, I didn’t have any time constraints this evening, so it all … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 97

Only 3 away from #100, folks. This episode had the usual fare you’ve come to expect on the Rock N Roll Manifesto. Punk rock, R&B, rockabilly, hardcore, 50′s rock & roll, psychobilly, hard rock, pub rock, glam, and much more! … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 95

Was this a good show? You be the judge. The first part of the show just seemed a bit sub-par to me, and for that, I apologize. It’s not that the bands and songs weren’t good, but as a whole, … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 94: Wood Shampoo

I hadn’t been this excited about a show in a long time. There was a lot going on: A shitload of stuff from the great Wood Shampoo Records, some rare Urban Voodoo Machine tracks, brand new Hex Dispensers, brand new … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 93: Nervous Breakdown

Tonight’s Manifesto was all about mental issues: nervous breakdowns, insanity, panic attacks, depression, psychosis, madness, etc. It was kind of a last minute decision so it wasn’t planned out as well as it could have been, but I think it … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 92

Rock N Roll Manifesto 92! I actually left the house last weekend to go to a real live record store and picked up some vinyl, so a lot of tracks from those finds made it onto this show, including some … Continue reading

Rock N Roll Manifesto 91

This was a weird show. Maybe you won’t even notice, or you wouldn’t have if I wouldn’t have said anything. I started off with a theme of really fast punk and/or rock songs, but never got a whole show together. … Continue reading
