WCJM Free Internet Radio Station: “The Originals Show” – 2007

Six months from the last Moore Hits in the Morning broadcast, Jim thought it was time to do another free Internet radio show. Actually, the idea was to do another Christmas show in time for the holidays, but as seen throughout the years, scheduling has been tough.

So, after much debate about whether or not to actually do the show, Chris, Jim, Mike, and Alberto met up to do a four-person show for the first time in almost ten years. The result is a great show that is both memorable and hilarious!A long skit-writing segment took place, as Jim and Chris worked hard on skits and Mike and Alberto worked on TNWST reports. It got a bit stressful, as you’ll hear Mike and Alberto making of fun of Jim during the show about it.

Chris’ skit about the WCJM Merchandise Store made the cast laugh hysterically about all the fun new products based on past skits and characters. Jim also paid homage to Matt’s Celebrity Jeopardy from Beyond the Grave skit by doing his own. You’ll be surprised at some of the guests!This is the first WCJM show recorded completely on the computer, as opposed to MiniDiscs or tapes. Thankfully, the recording process went off without a hitch, and the levels came out great.

The Originals Show puts songs by bands while they still had original members alongside the original four cast members of WCJM Radio’s Moore Hits in the Morning. This one’s sure to please and keeps the WCJM free Internet radio station alive and well!

WCJM Free Internet Radio Station: “The Rock & Roll Christmas Show” – 2000

Dave Perrelli decided to join the cast because he heard and liked the Everything is Christmas Show.  So it was no surprise that Dave was very insistent on doing another Christmas Show.  Luckily, Jim and Mike had enough music to do another show, and thus the Rock ‘n’ Roll Christmas was made.

The free Internet radio show was done on very short notice because of different scheduling conflicts, and after school on Wednesday, November 22, 2000 the show was done.  The cast was picked up from a half day of school by Jeff Copperthite, one of the writers for the show (also playing Ron Popeil).  They went to eat at Subway and came back to Jim’s house to do the show.

This show contained many of the more personal touches that the World Series Show lacked.  Even though Chris didn’t talk as much as he wanted to on the air (I say, “Tough!”), there was more than just great music.  There was a skit with Dr. K, a story by Jeff and a story by Chris, and Jeff’s tips of the day.  And everyone’s favorite bear came back to join us on Christmas show as Stuffy D. Bear made the whole cast crack-up again.  There was also a new song that was never heard before made by Jim Fusco himself.

But of course, there were problems.  The show was originally made to fit on one 74 minute MiniDisc.  Unfortunately, Traffic, News, and Weather ran very long and the show did not fit in the allotted time.  So, Jim Fusco decided, with help from the rest of the cast, to put the show on another MiniDisc.  This let the show breathe a little more, and allowed for Jeff and Chris’ stories.  This free Internet radio show is a timeless classic that will be played for every Christmas to come!

“Indifference” (Pearl Jam Cover)

Welcome to Thumpin’ Thursday!  My first as a 29 year old.

I decided tonight, after much deliberation, that I would record a song from a band that has seen plenty of exposure on this site.   That band of course is Pearl Jam.

My friend Marc from high school had introduced me to most of the songs by Pearl Jam from their first two albums.  Him and his brother were huge fans and had even saw them in concert.  I found out my own brother was also a fan and let me listen to “Ten”.  I loved it and it set me off on a Pearl Jam kick that I think i’m still on – at least for the albums I have currently.

The song I have chosen is the last track from their 2nd album “Vs.”   The best of these songs are ones that I wouldn’t want to play on acoustic guitar.  Even this one is meant for a softer electric guitar, but still works.  “Indifference” is the name of the song.  I’m not positive that I performed this song to the best I could.  But the nice thing is the people who would watch this either a) know the song, or b) are frequent visitors to this site and love what we do.

It’s business as usual on my end.  Still setting stuff up, and still teaching 4 classes instead of 3.  And while I love the extra money it’s bringing in, I will be looking forward to the 1 1/2 weeks off i’m going to take at some point next month.

Enjoy this song and keep checking back for more songs from the three and only – Chris, Jim, and I!

Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, Jeff’s acoustic cover song music videos are no longer on YouTube, but we decided to keep his cover song blog posts up.  We figured these music blog entries would be good for posterity’s sake and because Jeff always gave such insightful posts each Session.  We hope to see Jeff’s impressive catalog of acoustic rock songs here on the Laptop Sessions cover songs and original music blog again in the future.  But, for now, please make sure to check-out hundreds of other acoustic cover songs from all of your favorite bands here on the Laptop Sessions music blog!

WCJM Free Internet Radio Station: “The ‘Live’ Show” – 2001

Right after (the same day) the All-American Show, the WCJM cast decided to do the “Live” Show.  This free Internet radio show was originally going to be done live on the internet (note the quotes around “Live”)  but the cast decided to just put live versions of their favorite songs on the show instead.

The members of the cast were the same as the All-American Show and Jim did his Food Critic and World Report segments as well.  Matt contributed his hilarious comedy segments and his special brand of music to add variety to the show.

Stuffy D. Bear came on the show to do another segment, making the cast laugh again and again.  The cast even sang one of Jim Fusco’s songs, “Something Is Out Of My Life” live on the air.  The song came out very good, despite Dave’s crippling singing ability.  (All of Jim Fusco’s songs are copyrighted 2001 by Fusco-Moore Productions, a subsidiary of WCJM Internet Radio Co. and stealing their material is punishable by horrendous acts of discipline).

With a great “live” feel to it, this show came out really well and is a classic for those who love concert versions of songs.  Oh, and for those who like to laugh, this show is up your alley as well!  This free Internet radio show really makes you feel a-“live”!
