Another gorgeous day here in Metro-west Boston and it helps me appreciate it even more by sharing some killer music with you all here on Accident Hash . Extra psyched with the special stuff we have today!
I’m typing this as I listen back to the show and I really like the mix of tunes on this one. Plus having a mini interview with the guys from Buddahead makes it a little different.
Thanks to the continued sponsorship of Go Daddy who have just renewed their support for Accident Hash. The same Hash3 promo code entered at check out still gets you unlimited .com domains for $6.95. Feel free to use anytime you need a new domain. Hash1 is still good for 10% off any order.
The sun is shining, the birds are singing and I think Spring is really finally here in the Boston area. At least that is what I am going to keep telling myself! This morning on Accident Hash we kick back and chill it out to get the week going on the right note.
As I mentioned on the show Allison is coming to Boston on July 10th. Mark those calendars. When I have all the details I’ll be sure to share them and you can be damn sure I’m not going to miss it!
This morning Emily and I sat down to watch some of the Red Sox game live from Japan. It was sort of strange having breakfast and baseball together, but cool at the same time. Between that and grilling for the first time last night I decided that todays Accident Hash needed that summertime vibe on it to help get others in the mood as well. I hope the Red Sox win and the music does the trick for you.
What are some other great podsafe tunes that get you in the mood for summer? You know I take requests so leave them in the comments and I’ll try to get them into a future show!
So the calendar tells me that spring is here, but it sure doesn’t feel it right at this moment. But, don’t fret because I picked some upbeat fun tunes to get those juices flowing this morning on Accident Hash . I dug into the vault to pull out some old favorites and I’m psyched to have a brand new acoustic track from some old time friends of the show.
Back from SXSW and full of energy. I’m stil bummed that Accident Hash couldn’t be represented at the music part of the conference, but life just wouldn’t allow it this year. Hopefully next year I’ll be able to stay for the whole thing. If we met at SXSW and this is your first time listening to the show, welcome!
While in Austin I filmed a bunch of video interviews with people gathering advice for SXSW For Newbies which was a lot of fun. Certainly gave me the bug to do more videos so expect to see more coming down the feed over at One Guy’s Thoughts.

Everything Gearing up for SXSW and getting all kinds of excited, but so much work to do before I go that I’ve got to keep it in check till I get on the airplane. Wanted to make sure that I left you with a new Accident Hash before I left. Hope to see some Homefries out there!
If your looking for some video content while I’m away swing on by SXSW For Newbies and you can see the videos I’ll be producing out there with my client mDialog. Really psyched to see how they come out!

Everything is fine, but I am still off this morning and I really wanted to play Falling Slowly again since it just won the Song of the Year Oscar. So I figured a little music therapy would do the trick here on Accident Hash.
I played a promo for Amy Mac’s new book. I’m ordering a copy and I can’t wait to read it.
Also, a huge congrats to Brian Polensky on the pending arrival of his son.
As I mentioned on the show I’m still really loving CastBlaster and dig what Mike is doing with it. If you are looking to get started with podcasting on a PC it is the tool I always recommend.

After a week on the road, I am ready to get some new music into all of your ears and thus you’ve got yourself a brand new Accident Hash. Plus, when I return to a package from my good buddy David McMillin how can I not play some tracks for you immediately?
Mike from ThoughtOut.biz got his Nokia N810 and he called in to share his experience so far with it. He bought it using my promo code AccidentHash for 15% off the cost of the tablet.

Thanks to everyone in Baltimore and Nashville that made me feel welcome last week. Two great towns that I love to visit and the people make it even more special.
Dylan The Patriots blew it last night in the Super Bowl so I figured you needed some new music to get you through the rough morning. Plus, I’m headed to Baltimore and Nashville and wanted to leave you with some brand new tunes.

Dylan turns nine today and for some reason any time the kids have a birthday I always get a little quiet and reflective and you can certainly hear that in today’s selections as well as my commentary. You’ll hear me rave about the movie “Once” during the opening. I can’t recommend this film enough. I truly loved it.
If you are thinking about buying a Nokia N810, then consider putting in promo code AccidentHash at check out for 15% off the cost of the tablet. The US store is here and the UK store here.
I was in the mood to do a show to announce the new sponsorship from the Nokia N810 and thought it would be fun to dive into the Accident Hash vault to pull out some songs that I haven’t played in a while and that new listeners might have never heard.
I also played an audio promo for a new podiobook called TableRappers - Persistent Spirit from my good buddy Neil. I’m excited to listen to it.

Be sure to check out the Library of Congress Flickr page if you are into vintage photos. I’ve only begun to look through them and know that I’ve got hours of enjoyment ahead.
It may be the third anniversary here at Accident Hash, but today we are not focusing on that, but we are focusing on showing our support for the men and women around the globe fighting and serving as members of the armed services. They put their asses on the line every day for all of us and I wanted to show support for them.
This was a harder episode then I thought to record because I didn’t want to rant and rave. I didn’t want to yell about how mad it makes me to hear every day about more being injured or killed. I wanted to provide them a moment of escape from all that through music and I hope that is what happens. Thank you to eMail Our Military for giving me the inspiration to do this.
The first new Accident Hash of 2008 is here. How has the year been for you so far? I’ve been busy with The Advance Guard, but it always boils down to music making every day happen so that hasn’t changed.
As I talked about on the show, if you are looking for some great new content for your listening give Transistor Rodeo or Nocturnal listens. Both are sure to keep you busy for a while as new content comes out every week. I also talk about the one and only Rock and Roll Geek which is another great show if you love music.
Have you go the Accident Hash ring tone yet from my sponsor Myxer? Great way to show how much of a home fry you are! Plus, a great way to let the sponsors know that you appreciate them supporting me. Swing on by GoDaddy and say hello as well if you need a domain name. GoDaddy Promo Code HASH1 gets you 10% off any order of any size.
I had the urge to do a show today and then realized that this would most likely be the final show before Christmas. Crazy how fast time flies when you are having fun and I sure am having plenty of that!
I also welcomed a new sponsor on board. Myxer provides ring tones for you and an EASY way for artists to start selling ring tones. I’ve been using them for a while and even set up AccidentHashRingtone.com using my other sponsor GoDaddy.
We’ve got over a foot of snow on the ground and winer is in full effect so that means it is the perfect time to play some great music. I figure if you are shoveling, shopping or stuck in the middle of a commute somewhere you need content like this to get you through it. Enjoy!
Thanks again to Jason Jarrett for being all over the episode. Both in reminding me of Geoff’s birthday and for recommending great music. His wife does an awesome podcast called Joyrise that I forgot to mention on the show, but that I highly recommend.
It is now officially safe to play holiday music in my book. Once Thanksgiving hits then you can start playing it has always been the rule I grew up with and so here is the first Accident Hash since Thanksgiving with nothing but podsafe holiday music. I’ll be playing songs throughout the season but today is all holiday music. So if it isn’t your thing I wouldn’t listen. *grin*
I played the promo for E-Mail Our Military again because I really like what they are all about.
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. Don’t forget to watch On the Tequila Trail to learn more about Tequila and how to enjoy it.
I wanted to give you some tunes to give you a break from the commute many of us will have this week to be with friends and family for the Thanksgiving holiday. Hopefully you don’t get stuck listening to this while waiting for a delayed flight or anything yucky like that.
Getting to play Aesop Rock on this show comes courtesy of American Eagle Outfitter’s 77E. They are a client of mine and have some great new content going up all the time. I’m most excited by what they’ve got going on with their 77E Music. Be sure to check out the free tracks they’ve got for a limited time.

Wanted to be sure to have a new show out to welcome everyone who might show up from the new Zune Marketplace. Lots of new bands today that I found on the Podsafe Music Network. As you’ll hear, I’ve been playing way to much Guitar Hero 3 lately. *grin*

I had ever intention of going to the gym this morning. It is much harder to blow it off when it is in your basement. But, the bike just didn’t want it this morning so it’ll have to wait till tomorrow. So I took all that energy that I was going to sweat away and channeled it into Accident Hash. Lots of great new music from bands you haven’t heard of yet. But, after listening I hope you’ll find the time and energy to support them as much as possible!
Listen to Accident Hash #248
Podcasting Instead of the Gym
It was great to meet a bunch of you at PodCamp Boston 2 and I hope I cross paths with more homefries soon. Always great to meet listeners of the show!
If you have a second swing on by Binary Starcast and wish them a happy show #100! One of the best music podcasts out there in my opinion.

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.

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!
[Did you take pictures, audio or video of the event? If so, please get in touch with Ewan or C.C. regarding the Charity Christmas DVD edition of the Mash…]
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.
Matthew gave me clearance to play the first single off the new album Goodbye Planet Earth so I had to fire up the engines and put out a new Accident Hash today just for that. Be sure to pre-order the album. He’s got some unique opportunities depending on how much you want to support a starving podsafe artists. *grin*
Also, I talked about helping out Boston based artist [munk] by sending MUNK via text message to 628466 to help him get more exposure in a local radio contest. I also mentioned the cool dog treats that Roxie got sent by the gang at Scottie Buddy Boy.
Special thanks to Ed Roberts for his station ID at the beginning of the show. Be sure to spend some time Looking Out the Window with him soon. Great podcast.
Sure it is now officially “late summer” but there are still some days ahead to drop the windows and crank the tunes.
It has become a bit of a tradition here at Accident Hash that any show that has a 40 in it means nothing but rocking music so of course that is what you get today. An intro and then I shut up and let the music do the talking!
As I dropped the kids off at school this morning and drove home I realized that for the first time since we moved into the new house I’d have the whole place to myself. Just Roxie me and the time to record Accident Hash. I love summer, but I love everyone out there as well so it’ll be nice to get back into the groove of churning out Accident Hash more often.
