Well, thanks for making me aware of this Google.

So I come back and take a peek inside my blog and it turns out I have over 4000 comments to junk. Instead of deleting them all I've been editing and publishing some of the better spams, the World of Warcraft ones have been pretty entertaining, I have no idea why Blizzard is using my blog as a way to promote their new expansion pack, if they really want to use my site to publish it they should just buy a banner ad for this site. I have to warn you Blizz' the best video game ever made was Dark Ages of Camelot, hands down there has never been anything even close to as cool a game as that.

Other spammers interested in wanting my rss feed its simple http://circus.libsyn.com/rss there, enjoy. Lot's of new podcasts up so please click over there on the right and get busy with it!

Coming up this Friday November 26th, my Black Friday show, Cathy Foy will be performing live in studio, so you got that going for you. Please get over to KRCL.org and buy your Polar Jubilee tickets and come sit on my lap!

Since the podcasting is getting some good attention verging on viral-ality I decided it was time to join the 21st Century, or is it the 22nd now, and get an App.

For only $1.99 you too can bump around town blasting the latest awesomeness from Not a Side Show on your iPhone, iPad, or even on your sweet and sensitive iPod Touch.

Coming up on August 27th Dacho is going to be live on Not a Side Show, and I'll finally get to ask them 'What up with the gas masks?'

Show starts at 8 PM right after Amy Goodnews's Democracy Now, don't worry I'll play a few songs to help you dry those tears Amy encouraged and we'll have a swell final Friday of this 2010 summer.

So I've had this website for 10 years now, my brother Elath gave it to me for my birthday when I was living in Denver. Since it's been around a long time and I've amassed a bunch of blogs with various subjects I get a huge amount of spam comments daily. I've actually received 5 spams since I started writing this paragraph.

Even though it's spam sometimes I post the comments, I just delete the stock trading/porn/pyramid scheme/Misc German product websites and just post what people write. Some of my earliest posts were just set lists from my first few years of shows, I know somethings spam when they post a comment says how excellent my writing is on a set list. Actually I know someone is spamming me when they say how excellent my writing is! So I have around 800 spams from the last couple weeks to junk, maybe I'll get around to it, or just post them all, SPAM ON!

Anyways to update you on last month, I'm a numbers freak and we did hit 795 downloads for July, and are over 200 for August, I have no idea what's going on or how I'm getting all these downloads, but thanks, I hope you are enjoying the work ConMan and I are doing.

Tonight on Not a Side Show Blackhole is going to stop by for an interview and drop some freshly recorded tracks on the airwaves, so you got that going for you. I'll also be asking Blackhole about what actually is going on in the Horsehead Nebula, and why they left it for Salt Lake City.

On August 27th we'll have a live in studio performance by Dacho

I ate 37 tomatoes today.

Blackhole Podcast!

This year me and The ConMan have had a 30% increase in podcast downloads every month, and July is just going nuts! 432 in June, 690 so far in July, maybe we'll break 1000 in August, who knows.

Anyways this week is going to be pretty damn awesome because tomorrow Thursday July 29th I'm going to be co-hosting Mike Walton's show with special musical guests Spindrift. So tune in for that, same time as my show, but on Thursday 8 - 10:30 PM krcl.org 90.9 FM!!!

This Friday on Not a Side Show my special musical guest is going to be Max Pain and the Groovies. So we'll have a couple more sweet p'casts for you before the months over, and plenty more awesomeness to come in August. Next week I'll be subbing for Bad Brad Wheeler on Tuesday and Wednesday from 2 - 6 PM, so I got that going for me. Right now it's all about radio, Radio, RADIO!

P.S. I saw, that is to say I seen, Inception last night, meh. I mean it looked cool and was fun to watch, but it was too much like shutter island to me, like it was a dream sequence in Shutter Island 2: the Isthmus.

Collette took this awesome picture down on Boulder Mountain. June was pretty awesome, got a vacation in and over 400 podcasts were downloaded, most ever! Nice work clickers, thanks for checking out the show.

We're set to break 500 in July and it's only 4 days in!

Latest p'cast features Callow from New Oaksterdam, CA. Very cool, go download it!

There you go kids, the new Circus Brown's Not a Side Show podcasting site is up!

Tonight on Not a Side Show Rock n Roll Academy will be the guest, this is young musicians playing original songs NOT COVERS!

8pm on http://krcl.org or 90.9 FM in The Utah.

Tonight you'll also hear a choice cut for my new compilation Circus Brown's Second Snackbox in stores June 2009.

For fun I thought I'd let you see which podcasts were the favorites, and I'd like to note that the Aye Aye show only has the fewest downloads right now because it was just posted yesterday and its only barely behind Mikey. So here you go from highest number of downloads on down:

Musclehawk
Buckner & Garcia Interview
Kid Theodore
Laserfang
i<36335
The Deathless Pros
Mindstate
Novaburn
Trebuchet
Stereotype
Biggunbaby
Ropeorbullets
Palace of Buddies
Mike Brown Interview
Aye Aye

Guess this podcasting stuff is the wave of the future, or maybe the shows are getting better, basically since November the number of downloads have almost doubled each month. If this trend continues then we'll have over 400 downloads in February! Keep on enjoying this little slice of KRCL!

This Friday night on KRCL at 8 I will have a great Salt Lake band on that wowed me last year with their latest release Abalone Skeletone, they're called Tolchock Trio don't miss this show!

As you can see from the new SLUG ad pictured above, KRCL and Circus Brown have reached a mutual agreement to move me over to Friday's at 8pm. I'm really excited about this, so this upcoming weekend the 24th will be my last Saturday program, sadly I'll be retiring the Not a Side Show theme song that Gianni (He hosts Dirty Boulevard on KRCL 10:30 Thursday nights) wrote and performed for me. I fucking love that song! Its sad to see it go, maybe all you musicians out there should come up with a new theme song and submit it to me!

Along with the theme song I'm also retiring the name 'Not a Side Show'. When the show was on at 3 a.m. on Monday mornings it was a side show, it was just me and a couple listeners and I was trying my hardest to make a dent in the wee hours and live up to the show title. When I moved to 1 a.m. Friday mornings it was still me, a few more people and I was stirring up trouble making sure people knew this wasn't some silly Side Show. June of '05 was when I started on Saturday's, and I think with the help of a bunch of bands and some nice media outlets it really became Not a Side Show.

The format of my show isn't going to change, there will still be a live performance every Friday, and you'll still be hearing the music you've grown to love and enjoy on Not a Side Show. The show's just going to be earlier, better for you to pre-party with instead of fighting at the party about turning off some lame music and turning KRCL on. Connery and I are really excited to be on earlier in the evenings and on Friday which pretty much gives us our weekends back. More camping and travel time sounds good to me.

Coming up on the 24th of January, the last episode of Saturday's Not a Side Show, Trebuchet will be in studio playing live. They played back in the Spring of '07 and one of the songs from that recording ended up on the Death By Salt III compilation from SLUG Magazine. It made me so proud of those guys.

Also performing on the 24th I<36335 that's right folks, no more h8 for bee's just love!

Please tune in at 10 p.m. and enjoy the show. I've got CD's, Records, and DVD's I'll be giving away throughout the show! Then Join me on January 30th for my first episode on Friday Evening. Big Gun Baby will be live in the studio, and then on Friday February 6th Aye Aye will by my special guest. Also coming up in February Mindstate once again and hopefully I'll nail down a date with Tolchock Trio. Cross your fingers!

Thanks for listening, I hope the change to Friday's doesn't keep you from hearing some of the greatest local and international music on the terrestrial airwaves, the show's just going to get better!

I knew exactly why I was being pulled over, my plates expired 2 weeks ago, I had taken care of the safety and emissions but still hadn't mailed in the money and paperwork. I pull over, and start going through my jockey to get the papers, I hadn't turned down my stereo or even put the car in park yet and the cop was right there at my window tapping on the glass. Whoops. Well I put it in park, turned off Wreckless Eric, and rolled down the window.

"Do you know why I pulled you over tonight?" He asked with a smile, damn a smile?

"Yeah, plates expired, here's my paperwork I just haven't mailed it in yet, sorry."

He took the papers, flipped through them, "Have you been pulled over for this before?"

"Nope, here let me give you my drivers license..."

He let out a little chuckle, handed the papers back, then patted me on the shoulder and said "Don't worry about that, have a nice night."

This whole thing took place in a little over a minute. I know because I looked at my clock it said 1:30 when the lights went on, I pulled away at 1:32. As I pulled away I clicked the radio back on, cranked up Wreckless Eric, and started laughing. I guess I'm no longer a rebellious young adult, I'm a harmless thirty-something, and in the wee hours of the night I'm not even worth a shakedown.

I called Connery up on the way home and told him about what just happened, we both laughed about it, hell if it'd been him I'm sure the police would have loved to harass the youngster. I know when I was 19 and got pulled over I was getting searched, so was the car, and I was possibly being accused of several possible crimes in the area. Maybe I just looked and smelled like trouble 16 years ago more then I do now. I think that cop was a pretty cool policeman, I like good cops, he knew there were much more important things to be doing in the Pioneer Park district, I'm really glad it took him just a few seconds to realize that.

Well enough chit-chat, lets PODCAST! This last week Novaburn came down to KRCL and jammed some sweet tunes. Their podcast is up now for your enjoyment. I also went back through my archives and busted out a couple shows that I really, REALLY liked from 2008, the first one is from June 21st, Palace of Buddies is the band really cool stuff.

The third free downloadable podcast is a very unique one, I had my first hip hop performance on Not a Side Show Mindstate blew up the airwaves back on July 12th. Get all these podcasts here or just search your iTunes podcast directory and ENJOY!

Coming up this weekend on January 17th Cavedoll will be playing live in the KRCL studios!

What a way to end a year and start a new one. Hope everyone got through the Holiday's unscathed. Time to start losing weight, quit smoking, stop wearing diapers, or if you're like me time to swear off resolutions.

This last weekend I had a band stop by Not a Side Show for their second appearance, a different kinda band, Stereotype. This band consists of Vel, LJ, Ivan, and Josh, 3 Serbians and a Korean, very international. Funny interview and them playing live on the air, plus their new single "Olympic City" which was released in 2009 and debuted on NASS this weekend.

As always you can listen to the podcast all you want for free!!!

Coming up this weekend on NASS - NOVABURN

Ok, I'm going back searching for a new place to buy or rent or something.

Today I wanted to hear the first Lips song I'd ever heard. I decided to head over to the u-tube to get my fix, lucky for me they had a sweet live vid of the song. I'd also like to mention I didn't really like this song the first time around, now its one of my favorite songs ever. Top twenty material here, bah, scratch that I won't put a number on it, I like it ok?

My buddy Jordan came out to Colorado for a week and did a bunch of skiing and we went out and saw the Lips one night. The Fox is just a small place, a little bigger and better then the Zephyr that used to be the gem of SLC.

Looper was the opening act, they were way better live then recorded, I threw their album I bought at the show away shortly after listening to it. After Looper played we were standing around having a beer and Wayne Coyne was walking through the crowd, he looked at Jordan and I and said "Hey, thanks for coming out tonight, great to see you". That little sentence made my heart pound and put the biggest smile on my face. Nice guy, he walked away, we both just stood there smiling, the show kicked ass.

I need to see the Lips again.

Tonight on NASS - The Deathless Pros

Just a half hour till blast off!
