The Unblinking Ear Podcast 10/15/15

Lots of news since our previous podcast.

First of all, our unofficial CMJ showcase (flyer above by the lovely Carrie Quartly) is this Saturday. You can RSVP on Facebook here and buy tickets here.

Secondly, we've just launched our monthly digital single series Office Supplies! Every month we'll be posting an exclusive (for the time being, at least) song by a different artist on our Bandcamp page. Every song will be "name your price" so it's free to download if you're a total cheapskate. To start us off is the band that closed out our Serious Rockers comp (how's that for continuity?) Snowmans of Love.

In other news, Big Quiet has a music video for "Maura & Dana," which premiered at The Deli Magazine NYC.

And finally, unblinkingearrecords.com is up and running so check it out! (While you're listening to the below podcast, of course.)

The Unblinking Ear Podcast 1/29/15

The first release on Unblinking Ear Records, the praised by cultural potentates 28-song compilation Serious Rockers has been available for nearly two months. So, of course, now is the perfect time to have a record release show, especially since half the physical copies have already been sold. However, if you'd like to ignore issues of timing, I do hope you'll attend and enjoy this monumental event at the fine establishment Pine Box Rock Shop. You can RSVP on Facebook here or if you're the type who likes to avoid racist rants from relatives, there's information on Tumblr.

It's another edition of the Unblinking Ear Podcast, featuring a bunch of new (and old) music, which should adequately Brooklynize your existence. I mean, if you're into that sort of thing.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast: Going Live

It seems as though live podcasting all the rage of late. Marc Maron, Julie Klausner and Paul F Tompkins among others have recently hosted live versions of the podcasts to great acclaim and have netted millions of internet dollars in the process.

In my ongoing effort to prove that I can imitate successful people, I'll be doing the same. This Saturday, I'll be hosting the first ever Unblinking Ear Podcast LIVE at the Diamond in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

It will be much like my usual podcast, only instead of it being 45 minutes or so, it will run, I don't know, four to six hours. Other bonuses include:

• The songs I select will be played through a full sound system rather than your tiny computer speakers.
• Listening to said songs while drinking alcohol in the company of other living humans rather than alone in your dirty apartment, staring into the middle distance.
• The possibility of having a conversation with ME! (If you can get past my entourage.)

Another difference is that I won't be talking in between set over looped RZA beats to back announce the songs. The good folks at the Diamond are fans of my podcast but when they play it in the bar, they find the talking distracting.

What's that you say? That this is just a DJ gig and I'm trying to pass it off as something more grandiose and exciting?

You've got a lot of nerve, hypothetical person.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast: Mixed Emotions

(Copyright: World Entertainment Entertainment)

This was a weekend of conflicting feelings.

While I'm glad the Mets took two out of three from the Marlins to open the baseball season, Javier Vazquez is on my fantasy team so I really didn't want him roughed up quite so badly.

While really wanted CM Punk to get a clean win over Randy Orton , I knew that WWE never jobs Orton so I picked him in my Wrestlemania pool. (I was right. I lost the pool anyway.)

And while I'm happy for you that you have a new boyfriend, I still totally want to make out with your face.

Wait. I probably shouldn't have said that last one.

No conflict about the below podcast though. It's pretty great, if I do say so myself.
