I went to bed last night filled with a level of excitement that I haven’t felt in years.

I woke up this morning with that same energy and a need to channel it into something. Music has always been a part of my life on any emotional swing and today’s Accident Hash was my way of taking the excitement, positive thoughts and overall love I’m feeling right now and sharing it with everyone.

No matter who you voted for yesterday, today IS a different day in America and I’m down proud to be part of it.

While I’ve tried to keep Accident Hash politically neutral, when long time Homefry Simon Jennings from World Surf Radio sent me this file I had to push it out to everyone. While he certainly leans one direction, his message is clear about why it is so important to get out and vote. Plus he put in a healthy dose of great music and that IS what we are all about here.

I had a blast at the New Media Expo and got to see Seth Harwood who’s promo I played on today’s show.

I also talked a bit today about how much fun I had shooting pictures and listening to great live music at the New American Music Union a couple of weeks ago in Pittsburgh. I wasn’t kidding when I said not to miss The Raconteurs “Steady as She Goes” performance. Go watch it now!

Until next time, keep on rocking and supporting indie music!

Tonight, I’m headed into Boston for the farewell concert from [munk] and I thought it would be perfect to take today’s Accident Hash and play nothing but his music. Be sure to go to WaxBoy.com to find out more and buy his tunes.

Listen to Accident Hash #272

In case you missed it, there is also a killer music video for [munk]’s “Grave” out on the web as well.

Also, I hope to see everyone at the New Media Expo in a few weeks and if you are in Pittsburgh next weekend I’ll be rocking out at the New American Music Union.

Don’t forget to check out and purchase a copy of The Indie Band Survival Guide that I mentioned on the show. I’ve been reading more of it and really think it is a must have book for anyone trying to make it on their own as a musician.

If you have a second swing on by and sign up for the Mevio Super Panel and let your voice be heard.

Happy July from Accident Hash! I wanted to be sure to get a new show out this week so you’d have some music to fire up the grill and crack a frosty beverage to. I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July weekend.

All you need to do is e-mail me with the names of two of the performers and you’ll be in the drawing to win a pair of tickets. You’ll have to figure out how to get to Pittsburgh for the music festival, but I’ll hook you up with a pair of tickets. If you don’t know who is performing visit the festival web page or click on the logo to find out.

If winning tickets from me isn’t enough for you, consider entering the “I’m With The Band” Sweepstakes to win one of five trips to the concert including airfare and hotel. They are also giving away some great CD packs from the performers.

Don’t forget that if you are coming to the New Media Expo that there is a big concert Friday night celebrating Coverville #500. Tickets are on sale now and the line up sure looks like a fun one. I can’t wait.

Damn, does it feel good to be back with a new  Accident Hash! I’ve missed you all a ton and am psyched to finally have things back up and running here at Hash HQ

I also talked about why I think a CokeTag is another tool that musicians and podcasters could be using to help get some more exposure. The Coca-Cola Company is a client of mine, but I really think this is going to be another great tool for indie artists to get more exposure and I explain why on the show.

On Friday May 30, 2008 I held a small house concert in my living room to kick off what I hope to become a new tradition. The small gathering got to listen to Matthew Ebel and Tom Acousti both play great sets of music. On today’s Accident Hash you get to hear Tom’s set from the night.

Listen to Accident Hash #269
Chapman House Concert with Tom Acousti

If you enjoyed the music then please swing by TomAcousti.com and pick up his two great albums. I’ve had Only in constant rotation since I bought it in college and Bloom is just as good. I can’t wait for his new album to come out later this year!

I’ve also uploaded pictures from the night if you are interested.

When my good buddy and long time Homefry JC Hutchins asked if I wanted to be part of a first in podcast promotion how could I say no? I LOVED his novel 7th Son and I’ll be first in line to buy a copy of it when it comes out next year in good old paper.

But, until then you’ve just found another of the limited edition posters for his new series 7th Son: Obsidion. They all tie into the upcoming story line and are available in high resolution for your printing out goodness.

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.

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.

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.
