It is the morning before PodCamp Boston 2 starts and I’m wired. Events like this always get me excited and so much has changed since last years event that if I stop and think about it I get a big smile. So while this show starts out very mellow it certainly wakes up by the end of it. Hope to see you this weekend!
Also, if you are already on FaceBook consider joining the Hey Homefries Group to get the latest information on what I’m doing across all my shows, life and work. Speaking of work, I’ve got some announcements on that front happening this weekend as well. Go over here for a sneak peek.
GoDaddy and Partida Tequila sponsor Accident Hash, so show them some support via using their services or just dropping them an e-mail letting them know you appreciate them sponsoring a podcast you enjoy. If you are looking for Partida and can’t find it in your neck of the woods you can buy it from here or here if you are of legal drinking age. Also be sure to check out the On the Tequila Trail video podcast when you get a moment. Great and informative content!
I woke up this morning to a chilled New England morning and if that didn’t wake me up then Accident Hash was going to do it for me. Hope this dose of all girl rock gets you going this morning. It certainly kicked me in to high gear.
Today is also Blog Action Day, so if you have a moment write a blog post about the environment and be part of this cool day. Thanks to Mike’s Hot Dish for the Station ID and to Shrink Wrap Radio for the promo.

I needed to wake up this morning and get back to the roots of Accident Hash which is to find and share with you brand new music that isn’t getting heard elsewhere. I’ve slipped away from that a bit lately and I apologize. So rock on out to this little diddy today!
As I mentioned on the show I found all these artists via Ariel Publicity. She is doing some great stuff for musicians in this space so contact her to find out what she can do for your band. I can’t wait to meet her at PodCamp Boston 2! Are you coming?
Also, on this episode I introduce a new sponsor for Accident Hash. Partida Tequila has signed on. More on them in the future for sure. Go Daddy hasn’t gone anywhere. They are still hooking me and my listeners up with Go Daddy Coupons so keep on using the promo codes. I appreciate it!
Don’t forget that Scott Sigler wants to kill you over at ScottSigler.com
Partida Tequila has signed on and we got these samplers in the mail. Laura and I made some margaritas and they were damn tasty! Looking forward to trying more.
One of the most special episodes I’ve ever recorded. LATE night or EARLY morning is up to you. But, what I know is that while having way to many drinks before hand this turned out to be an amazingly good time. I had people the next morning give me a hard time for not inviting them. If it was planned that was one thing. Just a happy accident!

Introduced by Linda Mills, it’s “The Dave Slusher Memorial Podcast,” with (in alphabetical order)…
…as for the songs, if we didn’t know the playlist when we started, then neither will you. Just kick back and let the good times roll.
It all started at a remarkably late hour on the last night of the Portable and New Media 2007, in the bar of the Ontario Marriot, with Linda Mills asking us why CC and I hadn’t done one of the most irregular podcast music shows of all time, The TPN Rock / Accident Hash joint show, Accident Mash. In the fifteen or so months its been running, we’ve done… three. Neither of us had even considered setting up a time to do one, given the hectic nature of the Expo and the sheer volume of people to talk to.
But we both got a glint in our eyes, stared at each other over the bar, and proclaimed “we can do this!”
Just five minutes later and we’ve rounded up some of the leading podsafe music artists in the world, MacGyvered together a twin-track mixing desk with some tie pins, cables, stub mics, headphone splitters and my trusty mini disc recorder - and then rather loudly let everyone know that we’d be recording, the artists would be singing, and everyone was invited to where else but the home of all the improv events at the PME… poolside at the Marriott.
There’s a lot of crowd noise in this one - not surprising with such a fantastic and appreciative audience (thank you EVERYONE who was there, and to everyone who missed it, you’re going to be kicking yourself for the rest of your life…). With the local constabulary lurking in the background watching the noise levels, half the hosting duties were taken up by crowd control and keeping the volume down. But hey, this is as live, as raw, and as honest a gig as you are ever going to find. People who love music playing, listening, talking, and participating.
We’ve got accapella; we’ve got beat boxing; we’ve got acoustic; we’ve got group jamming; but what else would you expect from some of the leading independent musicians? We’ve got crowd participation; we’ve got old and new friends in the crowd; we’re on a runaway train where the hosts honestly have no idea what’s happening in the next thirty seconds, let alone for the rest of the show.
Folks, it was an honor to capture all your joy and enthusiasm in what Eric Rice named “The Accident Ssssh.” I hope you’ll listen back with fond memories of friendship, community and the pioneer spirit that really does sum up what podcasting is and how it can change the world. And thanks to podcasting, this special recording session is here for us all to share with the rest of the world.
Well, almost the full session - we’ve had to trim out the non-podsafe music that we played as we can’t ‘publish’ that through our RSS Feeds; but don’t fret. While we can’t get clearance to send them down the internet, what CC and I are investigating (with help from Brian Ibbott) is a Holiday DVD of Accident Mash#4 for charity, with the raw and edited audio, and all the video and pictures everyone took of the event. That’s actually easier to sort out than a podcast appearance (insert rolled eyes here).
If you’ve got media, or just want on the list for “I’d love a copy of the DVD” so we can get some numbers, please get in touch.
