Rock N Roll Manifesto 101

Posted on July 5, 2012 by Greg Lonesome

The beginning of tonight’s show was riddled with technical difficulties, so I had to stop the show and start over, which totally threw a wrench in the gears. Luckily, I didn’t have any time constraints this evening, so it all worked out. I ended up doing overtime, taking requests from the chat.

Tonight I announced the winners from the 100th episodes giveaways, so congratulations to Scot, Daniela and George, and thanks for entering! Your stuff will be sent out shortly.

The Manifesto ended up being over 3 hours tonight, and I went into some territory you might not expect, and maybe you won’t even like!

Tonight’s Beer Minute was Stone Ruination 10th Anniversary IPA. A limited edition, palate-wrecking, monster of a double IPA!

Rock N Roll Manifesto 100: Thank You!!

Posted on June 27, 2012 by Greg Lonesome

100 shows! Nearly two years of the Rock N Roll Manifesto! This show was a huge “thank you!” to all the listeners, labels and bands that have supported the Manifesto over these past two years, especially the people who have been around the longest, and those who give me feedback on a regular basis or have turned me onto new bands. So, THANK YOU!!! Thank you to everyone who tunes in and downloads the podcast.

This show was jam packed with great music, giveaways, thank yous, and segments. I pretty much ran out of time! If you want to try and win one of the three giveaways, just listen to the show and send your answers to the trivia questions to the email address provided in the podcast. I will pick a random winner for each of the three giveaways, and announce them on the next Manifesto. So, you folks who can’t listen to the podcast right away have a week to get your answers in.

Tonight’s Beer Minute was Saison Dupont, there was another installment of Brats in Leather Jackets, and also a Diggin’ Through the Record Crate segment. Pictures of that to follow.

Rock N Roll Manifesto 99

Posted on June 20, 2012 by Greg Lonesome

Let’s see, what happened tonight? Oh yeah, a new release from Squidhat Records, a shout out to Benny and Dorit on their upcoming marriage, 2 Beer Minutes, a band submission from the Conniption Fits, Brats in Leather Jackets and of course, a dose of punk rock, hardcore, psychobilly, rockabilly, 50’s rock & roll and more! For some reason my voice was really loud on this episode and got a bit distorted. Not sure why that happened, but hopefully I’ll fix it for next time. Sorry about that.

Next week is the big 100, folks. Make sure you don’t miss it. Tune in live if at all possible. I’ll be doing some giveaways. At least one of them I’ll do live, the other two will probably be for the podcast listeners. We’ll see how it goes. Should be a great show!

Rock N Roll Manifesto 98

Posted on June 13, 2012 by Greg Lonesome

It’s been a crazy week or two here at RnRManifesto HQ, and that called for not one, but two Beer Minutes tonight. Both beers were from the great, local Millbock Brewing Company. In between all that beer talk I played lots of great music from 50’s rock n roll to psychobilly, punk rock, rockabilly, power pop, mod, blues and even a ska song (WTF?). There was also another installment of Christian’s great Brats in Leather Jackets. Yes!!

Have any ideas for what I should do for my 100th show? I think maybe something special is in order, but I have no idea what. Hoping my lovely listeners can help me out with that. Let me know!

Both Kinds of Music: Country AND Western

Posted on June 9, 2012 by Greg Lonesome

Honky Tonk Friday! There was no Mojo Workout tonight, so I filled in the time slot with both kinds of music: Country AND Western. Almost 3 hours of it! I don’t normally record the off-night shows, but I thought I’d put this one out there for you podcast downloaders. This show was mostly classic country, but I also threw in some newer stuff and some alt-country towards the end of the show. Hope you dig it!

Rock N Roll Manifesto 97

Posted on June 6, 2012 by Greg Lonesome

Only 3 away from #100, folks. This episode had the usual fare you’ve come to expect on the Rock N Roll Manifesto. Punk rock, R&B, rockabilly, hardcore, 50’s rock & roll, psychobilly, hard rock, pub rock, glam, and much more!

A brand new segment made it’s debut tonight: Diggin’ Through the Record Crate. You’ll have to let me know what you thought of it. I probably won’t do it all the time, just now and then, or whenever there’s no Brats in Leather Jackets segment. Sound off about the new segment either here, on Facebook, Twitter or Google+.

Tonight’s Beer Minute was an IPA that I’ve never had before, but it wasn’t great. Oh well, they can’t all be winners, I guess. Hope you enjoy the show!

Rock N Roll Manifesto 95

Posted on May 23, 2012 by Greg Lonesome

Was this a good show? You be the judge. The first part of the show just seemed a bit sub-par to me, and for that, I apologize. It’s not that the bands and songs weren’t good, but as a whole, it all just seemed a bit too slow paced. Anyway, about half way through it picked up, I think, and I hope you will enjoy it regardless. Part two of Brats in Leather Jackets was great, and the Beer Minute was a great Belgian Quadrupel. See you next week!

Rock N Roll Manifesto 94: Wood Shampoo

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Greg Lonesome

I hadn’t been this excited about a show in a long time. There was a lot going on: A shitload of stuff from the great Wood Shampoo Records, some rare Urban Voodoo Machine tracks, brand new Hex Dispensers, brand new Dirt Box Disco, a brand new segment called “Brats in Leather Jackets,” and a Beer Minute from a brand new local brewery. Awesome stuff! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Big thanks to Darran at Wood Shampoo Records, and don’t forget to go to the Wood Shampoo Records Facebook page and click that “like” button. Another big thanks to Christian from Mannheim for the “Brats in Leather Jackets” segment. Great stuff.

Rock N Roll Manifesto 93: Nervous Breakdown

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Greg Lonesome

Tonight’s Manifesto was all about mental issues: nervous breakdowns, insanity, panic attacks, depression, psychosis, madness, etc. It was kind of a last minute decision so it wasn’t planned out as well as it could have been, but I think it got the point across and included some really great music encompassing these very real subjects that so many people deal with.

Tonight’s Beer Minute was a so-called “Red India Pale Ale” that should have just left well enough alone and called itself a Red Ale. An IPA it was not! Still good, but not an IPA.
