PostHeaderIcon Awkward Hour this Thursday!

This Thursday the Awkward Hour live! takes another foray into the world of cookery with veggie chef Matt Crane, tempered by local stand-up comedian Cody Eden, who is headlining a show July 12 at Mo’s. Watch Thurs Live 7-10pm at:

The Awkward Hour on Ustream.tv!
All previous episodes going back to Andy Patterson in March are archived there on video too, if you want to catch up on any of them.

Just a few words on the latest Awkward Hour episodes I uploaded yesterday:

Episode 40 Pt 4 may be the most bizarre hour of podcasting in the short history of the medium: solo rant vs. chatroom, playing “what body part is this?,” (“this is my brain: pretty dark inside there huh”), consumed with imbibery to the point of being temporarily permanently affixed to the floor, writing & conducting a ‘feedback symphony’  and last but not least, listening to the first hour of the show & commenting on it.

THIS EPISODE IS NOT SUITABLE LISTENING FOR ANYBODY!

The other 12 or so hours of me ranting to the chatroom aren’t quite as ‘experimental,’  but come close: asking ‘who are anyone of us really’ in addition to fake internet identities,  repeating words until they sound like nonsense, and frightening away both listeners and dogs. I didn’t even get to play the Found Magazine interview yet, watch for that soon.

Also two brief clips of song demos I wrote for an album I working on in the studio beginning later this month.

Any comments at all you have about it are very welcome & I can read them on the show or not, whichever you prefer.
It could be delightfully awkward!
Thanks for all your support and enjoyment of the show,
Brian
