BUDDIES! I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I was for today’s episode! You see, when I was 15 years old, GOLDFINGER was my punk rock gateway band. Charlie goes on to tell us that he’s never really thought that Goldfinger was a punk rock band, but regardless, they opened up a world to me that I felt right at home within. Without being sick with a stomach virus, staying up late to watch 120 Minutes on MTV and seeing the video for Here In Your Bedroom; who knows where I might be today! It took 17 years for me […]

Helllooooooo Denver!
Hey gang! After 12 years of talking about it… I’ve finally moved up I-25 from Colorado Springs to Denver, Colorado! It was a super stressful move, and I’m still looking for employment, but I’m glad it is finally done! What does that mean for Mostly Harmless? More episodes! From now until the end of the year expect an episode a week. Hopefully living in a bigger city with more access to musicians, artists, film makers we’ll be able to keep up with an episode a week until the end of time! Also, I’m jumping back into the Concert production and […]

This week we join Adam Turla from Murder By Death in the alleyway of The Bluebird Theater in Denver. It was Friday the 13th, and what a hell of a day.

Many of the weekends events were cancelled or put on hold. Many […]

MOVING SALE!
Some of you guys know, I’m in the process of relocating to Denver at the end of August. I’m completely broke thanks to my last job laying me off after my month long tour with Arliss Nancy. Okay, they didn’t lay me off so much as they just stopped scheduling me… But that’s pretty much what happened. Anyways, we’ve finally broken even on the WHITE Mostly Harmless #2 shirts. What a bad idea that was. They look great, but no one wants white T-shirts. Anyways, to celebrate and to help fund the upcoming move to Denver, we’ve decided to offer […]

SPONSORED BY HIGH PLAINS COMEDY FESTIVAL! August 23- 24th in Denver, Colorado! http://www.highplainscomedyfestival.com For years my former roommate, and Mostly Harmless Theme song composer: Jarrod Moore; has been singing the praises of stand up comedian Kyle Kinane. Jarrod and Kyle were fortunate enough to have worked together at a Los Angeles close captioning facility for Television shows. They would go see each other perform and became friendly. Years go by and I hear about Kyle Kinane more and more from my friends across the country, but it wasn’t until Kyle’s performance at last year’s FEST in Gainesville, Florida that I finally […]
41 – Possessed By Paul James talks his early upbringing, teaching, and how music is just a hobby for him.
In 2011, I found myself touring with Drag The River and Austin Lucas. We worked our way across the midwest and down south to the almighty South By Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas. I don’t recall much about our first night in Austin, as many adult beverages were consumed throughout the day, to cool off from the Texas heat. What I do remember is a one man machine taking the stage and closing out the night. That man was Konrad Wert, otherwise known as Possessed By Paul James. A few weeks later, I was fortunate enough to have booked Konrad […]
40 – Tim Barry talks about train hopping, diabetes, his newborn daughter and how she has changed his songwriting!
Tim Barry is as much a legend as the characters he creates within the prose of his writing. His character, his person and his purpose all seem to come out of a great American novel, yet he fully embraces the technology that surrounds him. Each man is nothing but a collection of experiences and lessons they have learned amongst that time. For Tim Barry, that is no different. He is a man who has conquered the roads and pathways set before him. He has traveled the great mythical highways of the world of trains. He has battled with the disease […]
