Episode 11.5: Kyrstyn Pixton, a Commercial, Fur Owa, and Magnetism

cdpixton — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 20:45:03 +0000

Well greetings, podcast listeners. Tell me, why is nobody commenting and yet so many are downloading? You can’t possibly agree with me so perfectly on everything I say. Am I not provocative enough, in a good way, I mean?

In any case, I still love you and thank you for listening. And I invite your comments. The place to do that, of course, is shouldbefamous.com.

This (in-between) episode features a little ditty written by my sister Kyrstyn. Brilliant little thing she probably came up with one day when she was messing around, I’m sure. Also a couple other things, plus a thought or two on gravity, acceleration, and magnetism.

Peace.

Episode 11: Courtney Atack, Gravity, and Acceleration

Pretty exciting. This is the very first video podcast of the Should Be Famous Podcast. Boy are you in for a treat! (hee hee hee, ha ha ha, Oh HO HO HO!!!) Ok I can’t lie. You’re not really. But it does help me to explain gravity and acceleration (they’re the same thing).

And I threw in some other stuff as I played back some hot new recordings by my phenomenon of a sister, singer-songwriter/vocalist extraordinaire Courtney Atack.

The podcast is available in plain mp3 format as well (no video).

Episode 9.5: Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Love Story, Abraham’s Blood, Thanksgiving Song I, and The Fox

I’m too generous. I really shouldn’t be giving you all this great music for free. I don’t know how to justify it, except maybe that it’s Thanksgiving and the recordings are pretty much one-takers. (All done in one take.)

Five fun recordings here: Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Love Story (Taylor Swift), Abraham’s Blood (by me), Thanksgiving Song I (by Skye, Courtney, Me and cousin Gabe), and The Fox (a rockin’ arrangement inspired by Nickel Creek.)

And for the 1st time: Listener Mail.

Episode 9: Bob Walkenhorst

Front man to the famed 80′s/90′s band The Rainmakers, Bob is still a musical and creative genius pumping out catchy rootsy rock songs. He lives here in Kansas City and is an active performer and has a new album. Also has a lot of very loyal fans and friends. Get ready for some really catchy music and insightful comments from a guy who has experienced a great deal of success as a musician.

Episode 8: Fiddlesticks!

No, I’m not mad. I’m talking about the celtic-american-folk family group. I spoke with Dad Marco and one of the three daughters, Liz. Very interesting family and they’ve done some great things musically. And they’re actually pretty good about getting their music out there (unlike some people I know). Listen to this stuff. If you like, go to www.fiddle-sticks.com. They’re also on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby, and Deseret Book.

At the very end that’s me imitating a song of theirs on piano.
