Holiday Demon Rock

Not only was there a celebration of Holiday jams on Monday's broadcast, we also busted a move to Banjo's favorite albums and artists of 2008. But rather than play all those boring and stale and generic holiday rock songs, we decided to go a different direction and embrace something that's slightly more in tune with rock and roll...the devil. So we offered up SIX artists that rocked out for the Prince of Darkness...can you guess who they are? And for the favorites of 2008 we decided to tie-in the Mr. Satan as well by playing at least one cut from Banjo's top 18 albums of the year...why 18 you ask? Well because SIX plus SIX plus SIX equals 18. And of those 18, SIX of them are Banjo's absolute favorites of the year and are lucky enough to have TWO songs each be played, because TWO is that magic number given to Lucifer by indie rock's favorite heathen, Prometheus. And of course, Banjo's favorite album and artist of the year got a special THIRD track played! Hot damn.

Here's the setlist...

Rock 'n' Roll Radio Resurrection!

And so said Bon Scott and Angus Young of AC/DC, "...Let there be sound! and there was sound. Let there be light! and there was light. Let there be Drums! and there were drums. Let there be GUITAR! there was guitar. OOOOHHH LET THERE BE ROCK!" And there was indeed MUCH rock.

And then someone different said, "Let's give Banjo a radio show, 'cause he knows how to Rock some motherfuckers too!" And rocking commenced once more.

"Wait.
Wait!
Did you say...?
Did I hear...?"

Yes! You heard correct, true believer! Now every Monday from 2pm to 4pm PST you can log-on to PRARADIO.ORG!, download the little 'MP3 stream' thingy located at the bottom of their rudimentary webpage, and listen to 'The Gospel According to Banjo' live, via the modern marvel that is internet radio! Adjust your clocks accordingly if you live in the US and outside the Portland time zone...same goes for all you people 'living' outside the USA in places that may or may not exist...like Italy or Afghanistan or minuscule islands off the coast of South Korea with lots of funny letters in the name...

So dear hearts, if you're at home stalking around on myspace/facebook, or telling the goldfish your deepest, darkest, Battlestar Galactica Live Action Role Play sex secrets, or at work trying not to murder your coworkers or customers for not respecting you as a 'real live artist goddamnit', or doing 180's in the rental car whilst pounding a forty of colt 45, or chillin' in the park with that special someone/thing, or if you're simply tired of all the pussy, whiny, diet, sleepy excuses for rad rock n roll on regular radio then come on down to 'The Gospel According to Banjo' and rejoice by settin' your soul on fire with Portland's newest and most questionable DJ.
It's time, friends.
The era of hip shakin', ass wigglin', foot stompin', fist pumpin', back porch style gettin' down boogiemutherfuckinwoogie is here!
UH! UH! DO IT!
We gonna groove!
We gonna GROOVE!
We gonna love, love, love...till the break of dusk!
So come on you Rock n Roll philistines and join Banjo in a most awesome display of sounds and noise and get ready to be delivered UP like a rocketship bound for the Sun...or that bad Chinese food you ate last night and then topped off with a fifth of Jack!
UP! UP! AND AWAY!

Your soul demands it...

Podcasts will be available soon for all those that can't be turned on in real time...

Like a Graveyard Hound...

...I Say...Make me howl and moan!

Banjo decided not a bring a guitar or some OTHER such instrument with him when moving way up to the Pacific Northwest, thinking it would be a big pain the ass to travel and move around with, not to mention the preposterous amount of cash the airlines want out of your ass for taking it on the plane. And don't get Banjo started on those chumps at the post office...
Anyways, not bringing a geetar proved to be a most boneheaded idea, as Banjo quickly began longing for something to turn the back porch into a rock-rollin', foot stompin', ho-downin' of a good time. And being the cheap bastard that he is, Banjo didn't particularly want to give up a shoe-box full of clams for said good-fun-time-making-instrument.

And so, for the first time ever, Banjo built one. A four string dealio. Out of a cigar box and a plank. And some other nicknacks. It looks like this...






Somewhat rudimentary. Totally playable. Totally needing to be wailed upon. Totally awesome. An electric model will be coming soon...watch out!

The Two Month Nonsense Continued...

...this past Wednesday, as Banjo attempted to paint some records and draw silly cartoons. Success, however, was not to be found. Mismatched colors, warped records, and uneven, sketchy lines don't make for good art as far as the Banjo is concerned. And as far as he could tell, the only thing that could lift his spirits was some fucking Rock 'n' Roll. And in luck was he, cause one of Rock's most awesome bands happened to be in town that very night. These guys:


Unfortunately, Banjo didn't have a ticket. But worried not was he! For he is king of this land now. And so he set forth to procure tickets. 'Tickets' mind you, as Banjo had acquired accompaniment, of the red-haired variety, along the way. Scalpers were found, of the mustachioed and 'red' sort, tickets were obtained, of the cheaper than face value kind, and the many shades of Rock were experienced. It looked and sounded something like this:

Except, you know, it was WAAAAAY louder...
Video not by Banjo.

Some bands know how to put on a fucking amazing rock show...and some guys know how to kick the piss out of those bands and say, 'this is how you rock, dickless', and proceed to bulldoze your eardrums...the Raconteurs fall in the latter category...seriously, Jack White has two copper-plated guitars! It's Rock! What the fuck else would it be?

So, after the show was over, Banjo and Co. walked outside to find a couple dudes on the sidewalk playing a couple homemade drum sets...mostly consisting of mud buckets, bottles, and oven racks. Talk about rad as shit... A crowd gathered and a guy walked up to give the boys a couple bucks, and in the process, dropped a few bills on the ground. After waiting a few minutes to see if he noticed it, he didn't, Banjo reached over and tapped him on the shoulder. The conversation went something like this:

Banjo: hey, man, you dropped a couple bucks...
Dude: (paused, looked down, picked up the money and looked at Banjo, square in the eye) you know, brah, you a good person. most people, they see that money and they take it and run. but you didn't, you told me about it. any other city in the world and they run, but not here. and if you do that here, you don't belong.
Banjo: uh...right on, man, just looking out
Dude: no other place something like that happen, only here
Banjo: that's why we're in portland, eh?
Dude: yeah yeah, what's yer name?
Banjo: banjo
Dude: i'm twan
Banjo: pleasure
Twan: seriously, banjo, you real good people, you didn't have to do that, but you did, you made a new friend today
Banjo: actually, banjo made two...(motions to the hottie beside him)
Twan: right on. i work down at reggies barber, you come in, come find me, we'll get down.
Banjo: cool
Random Person from Crowd#1: (to banjo) i saw what you did for that man, that was so nice of you
Banjo: yeah, i know
RPC#1: you're a really good person, do you know that? you're beautiful...
Banjo: nice, thanks
Twan: she's right
RPC#2: (to banjo) dude, way to be on the look out. (to a couple people beside him) did you see what this guy did? he told that man he dropped some money instead of running off with it. what's your name?
Banjo: banjo
RPC#2: oh i love the banjo. don't you guys?
Crowd: oh yeah, the banjo is sssooooo sweet, love it, love it
RPC#2: banjo, you're the man
Banjo: yeah...all i did was tell him...
RPC#2: banjo's the man!
Crowd: yeah...yeah
Banjo: well, i do what i can
RPC#3: a saint...
RPC#2: ST. Banjo!
Banjo: hahaha...i mean, YEAH!
Twan: you're like a saint, man
Banjo: i'm a cartoonist
RPC#2: St. Banjo, bearer of cartoons, laughs...and altruism!


Then some asshole tried to steal the bucket of money from the drummers and almost got his faced kicked in. And just before Banjo was ready to spit out the Gospel too...oh well, another time perhaps.

More Adventures in the Rose City

Banjo headed out on the town a few nights past, looking for the cure to that which ailed him. In need was he of trouble, booze, ladies, and rock n roll. He found all at the Doug Fir Lounge. And while the booze was delicious, the ladies were scantily clad, and the air for trouble was ripe with shit-talking, he was treated to a most spectacular broke-down, raunchy, punky-blues, rock 'n' roll one-man-band performance by this guy...





Bob Log III.
"I'm Bob Log and this is my GUITAR! WOOOOOO! GODDAMN!"
And then he TORE it the FUCK UP! on his cheap guitar and foot operated drum kit. Most awesome indeed.
You can find his music here: Bob Log's Myspace Jamboree

And then the show was over. Log left. The wasted, semi-hot ladies that had once dipped their bare breasts in Log's scotch on the rocks whilst on stage, dressed and headed out as well. And so Banjo peaced. Drunk. And awesome. On his fancy bike. And with an impending voyage longer than a live Jimmy Page guitar wank-off. Dreading such an unfortunate affair, Banjo fiercely cursed the night and those that made his Italian legs so damn small. But all was well, as he discovered this magical place on the journey to his new home...



Banjo was low on cash and unfortunately not in the mood for an eight-ball, but he's glad to know such a special place exists so close to home.

For Real?
