Coffee Show November 19, 2008!

"Hey," you astute readers and listeners are thinking to your respective selves, "What the heck happened to the playlist and blog entry for November 12?! These guys have lost it!" And you'd be completely right! Sadly the program that tracks our playlist did not send a copy to our email the way it usually should and does. So we will all have to consider that week's show a "Secret Special Mystery That Will Remain Just Between Us"! Cool, eh? Anyway, we had some awesome calls, as usual, this last week, and a lot of fun interviewing some of the badass kids from the HMDSS Songwriting Contest and "Footnotes" CD! Their youth and talent made us feel both old and unaccomplished!

Keith finally cracked out the professional audio equipment to cut down on problems with getting you "quality" sound clips. Hopefully it will spark a trend, though he's running short of storage at the free file hosting site... Here's this week's Randy the Fibsmith:

All Hallow's Eve Coffee Show!!!

Boooooo! Ha, ha, ha! Don't be afraid, Coffeekateers and Coffee Cadets! It's just us, Randy and Keith, back with another Coffee Show! ... Only this one is SCARY! That's right, we celebrated one of our favorite holidays with three hours of music about ghosts, murder, mayhem, the Devil, monsters and deep-voiced country music!

In particular, we welcomed the fantastic Brent Amaker and The Rodeo! These fellas were coming through town with the particular blend of humor and good 'ol country good times, fronted by the deepest-voiced singer since Johnny Cash drank three bottles of whiskey and got punched in the throat! They not only stuck around and did an interview, but they also played five songs live in the studio and it was a raucous great time! (There is a nice shout-out to us on their blog at entry 13!) We have to ask their permission, but we'll try to have some tracks up for you soon as well! If they get back in your neck of the woods, SEE THEM! In the meantime, we highly recommend their forthcoming album "Howdy Do"!

In the meantime, hopefully you can content yourself with this week's Fibsmith, as the show burner was finally kind to us!:


This year ended up with slightly straighter songs and fewer novelty songs (at least, ones VERY heavy on the novelty), and a lot of stuff got pre-empted by the live performence, too! We got several great requests, and tried to accomodate everyone that we could!

There's also this presidential election thing coming up -- and it seems like it might count for something. So we threw in a couple of (spooooky) politically-themed songs to help remind everyone to vote early or on Tuesday, November 4th. We're sure our endorsement doesn't matter, but for the record: we like our presidents like we like our coffee: Black. GET OUT AND VOTE! (If you are old enough.) IF YOU VOTE, YOU ARE AWESOME!

If you are throwing your own nerdy Hallowe'en party, may we recommend one or more of the following for your mix CD?:
