WCJM Free Internet Radio Station: “The All-American Show” – 2001

By WCJM Free Internet Radio:

After the conflict in the country in September, 2001, WCJM decided to heighten its American Pride.  The entire free Internet radio cast, minus Jeff, gathered in the studio and picked out their favorite songs that deal with America.  From Simon and Garfunkel to Justin Hayward, this show will definitely get you in an American mood!

This show is where Jim Fusco finally tried to show up everyone else.  He wrote ten pages of material for both the Food Critic and his new segment, The World Report.  The cast was a little tense after arguments about paying attention to the skits, but got out of that mood very quickly when they heard the various comedy segments.

Without a doubt, the funniest Stuffy D. Bear segment ever was heard on this show.  Stuffy showed his American pride by singing his own rendition of “God Bless America”.  He also expressed his utter longing for his brother Stuffo by singing his own song, “Stuffo Come Home.”

The cast even sang the National Anthem at the beginning of the show, making the absolute worst rendition of the song since Roseanne!  And it might be worse than that!  So, if you’re not a fan of Dave’s singing, skip past the first two minutes, but stay tuned for the rest of the All-American Show!  This is classic comedy radio at its best!

“Mother” (Pink Floyd Cover)

Do YOU record acoustic cover songs?  Submit your YouTube link and a blog post about your performance, why you chose the song, etc. to the “Fridays: The Guest Sessions” link in the weekly calendar above!

By Jeremy Hammond:

This is my cover of “Mother” by Pink Floyd from the album The Wall. I first recorded the rhythm and vocals, then overlaid another track for the guitar solo.

I had two versions of this up previously. On the first, a commenter suggested I add the solo, so I did. But then watching that second one, and then going back and listening to the original for the first time in ages, I realized I had the timing wrong in two parts. So I redid it yet again. This, my third “Mother” effort for YouTube, is one I am finally happy with.


** EDITOR’S NOTE: **

Jeremy’s session technically breaks the golden rule of “one live take” established since the first Laptop Session over two years ago.  That being said, his version of “Mother” is an excellent performance, and as he explained above, the solo was overdubbed and handled nicely in the video with a fade in and out.  We simply couldn’t deny you the opportunity to hear and see this great version.

Now if only he could clone himself, that would make for quite the duo…

Laptop Sessions contributor Jeff Copperthite first recorded this song in August 2008, and it quickly became one of his most popular and highest rated performances.  Click HERE to watch his version.

Thanks again, Jeremy, for contributing to the Guest Sessions!

Thumpin’ Thursday will turn into Super Saturday this week only!

By Jeff:

Thank you for visiting the site today!  Just wanted to let you know that, despite my best efforts, I do not have a new video to debut today.

I’ll tell you what the plan was.  I had a couple of videos that I recorded a while ago that I just wasn’t happy about posting, so I thought today would be a great day to post one of those as sort of a “here’s what I held back, and perhaps you can see why I did” videos.

However, it did not dawn on me that those 3 videos are stored on my old laptop.

The same one that hasn’t worked in 4 months.

Oops.

So despite this hiccup, I will be posting a new video on Saturday!  Please do come back for the latest in our series!

Thumpin’ Thursday has been blacked out for tonight

No, it’s not some weird censorship.

The power at our house has gone out. I don’t have an Iphone either.

So I’m typing this very brief post on my cell phone to inform you that you will have to wait until tomorrow to hear from a new band for the site.

I think i’ll call it “Flippin’ blackout Friday”, but do note that some words have been changed to preserve the PG rating of the site.
