So far this year, we've featured over 80 different bands from Memphis and the Midsouth.  To close out 2006, we thought we'd give out a few honorable mentions.  We're playing a couple of songs from three area bands and offering up a bit of critical praise on why we enjoyed them. This is a slightly condensed version of the show for the holidays; this is the "taint" of the season - St. Taint; got big balls?; we don't care how good or bad your recording is as long as the music is fun; feeling the passion; our "millieu?"; Frank talks about webisodes and Beans corrects him - here's some of the reasoning we missed on the actual recording: Don't say webisode because what we're doing here is not called webisodes - these are episodes.  People who don't know what their talking about call their podcast installments "webisodes."  Per wikipedia a webisode is:  "... a webcast episodic video show. It is similar in structure to a television series and usually new episodes are published on a periodic basis through a website or some other internet based medium. Typically shows have short runs (about 5 episodes) but some go on for much longer. Content varies greatly and sometimes the webisodes are just to push some other content (such as an upcoming film)." A good example of a local series of webisodes comes from our buddies at Danger Couch. Other pet peeves; driving in Memphis and trying to make a right-hand turn; Merry Christmas - let me over, bitch; reverse-reverse psychology from Frank's brother; MATA pub crawl; legal contracts from rubbing the Buddha in our studio; hints at what we're planning in 2007; Beans talks about being good people and being in a band - these do not have to be mutually beneficial traits; Beans had a drinky-drinky, but no drinky-pukey; celebrating All Taints Day; Frank offers the olive branch to Ronald in Michigan. Featured Bands  The Acorns   myspace Hey Heidi-Rae    web  myspace Taco and Da Mofo's    myspace This episode closes out 2006 for Frank and Beans!  We appreciate your patronage and hope you'll join us for more merriment, magnificence, madness and music from Memphis, the Midsouth and beyond!

We're releasing episode 9 a little early this week since both Frank and Beans will be otherwise engaged over the next few days - we wanted avoid just skipping an episode, so we figured moving this one up a few days wouldn't hurt...  We should be back on our regular Thursday schedule for episode 10 on November 23rd!  One special note for this week's podcast:  Beans had a lot of trouble with the background music and apologies to Burney Warren for allowing a hint of said background track-age to seep through while playing "When You Talk Like That." Meet  Zell Bent, Sid-less Nacy and Buns 'n' Roses from Memphis Roller Derby!  Frank and Beans learn about Roller Derby; myspace takes away indie band, Bones, myspace page and gives it to Fox Network's TV show "Bones" - then, Myspace Tom gives it back!  Beans runs through a list of really bad website URL's (courtesy of mistupid.com); 6 degrees of Roller Derby bacon; Beans successfully gets through the show without using the "D" word, but Frank doesn't; there will be beer and kids at the roller derby bout - you can drink a beer while your kids (under 17) can hang out with derby girl-babysitters; the first ever rap act on Not Another Locals' Show reminds the guys of the time when Frank tried to teach Beans how to rap; you too can join the Memphis Roller Derby league - even if you don't want to skate!  Frank gets new talent by "falling upon" them; pulses are optional for the guys; if you're a local band, get out and play; is "extra patchouli" ever a good thing?  Roofies give you that warm and fuzzy feeling late at night, just like the creepy guy laughing on our outro music...
