Episode Synopsis "Episode #10"
Notes for Speechless Episode #10 A respectful Memorial Day to you, both in the United States and outside it. Got a great show made up of progressive rock, acoustic guitar, and cool jazz from a french trombonist. Plugs and Links Yes. A section just for plugs I want to share. Mostly things mentioned in the show that aren't artists. The Bluegrass Preservation Society - I mentioned this and an upcoming show will showcase some Bluegrass Music. Next Big Thing - Dave and Martin are engaging, entertaining and certainly worth a listen as they give you bite-sized samples of numerous artists with a broad range of styles and attitudes. Tartan Podcast - Why do American enjoy the sound of a Scot speaking so much? The fact that Mark's voice is amazingly engaging is just icing on a great (mostly) Scottish-made music show. Additionally, film reviews by Cameron will melt your heart. Radio Speljamr - Tim has an entertaining mix of alternative rock and off-the-wall tracks that keep the cast from getting boring. Oh, and sometimes you get complete whacked content. 02:45 - Track #1 by Chimpspanner "The Mirror" This is the third Chimpspanner track we've played and you know what? If Paul keeps sending them, I'll keep spinning them. I do wish I had some more photo's of him. This piece is not the easiest to digest in places unless you're used to polyrhythm, but as always...give a listen or two and it'll become clear and addictive!

Visit Chimpspanners site! 15:31 - Track #2 by The Fibs "Pythagoras vs the Beanfield" Visit...no wait...The Fibs have no site! If they get one I'll post it but for now I'm going to reproduce their entier bio and Speechless can (for the time being) be the mech-universal hub for all thing Fib-related. At least till they notice and get a site going. They've been called "an eclectic mix of tight, straight-ahead rock, reggae and blues" (Jim Santella, The Buffalo News). They've been called "a strong unit led by Fenton's raspy, blues-infected vocals and virtuoso guitarisms and larocci's solid bass lines and subtle songwriting humor" (Jeffrey Miers, Buffalo Beat). They've been called "the 112th hardest working band in show business" (they made that up themselves). In a way, The Fibs are guitarist Tom Fenton and bassist/guitarist Jim larocci, the songwriters and masterminds of the band. They are ably accompanied by drummer Jim Palys and, when he's not picking with the Redliners, guitarist Jim Wtiitford. Larocci and Fenton formed the Fibs in the mid-1980's with songsmith Carl Thiel. The accent was on satirical and humorous lyrics over virtuosic playing in a variety of musical styles. They performed comedic rock live on the Rocky Alien Morning Show for a year and a half and once even performed in concert a medley of Barry Manilow tunes with Larry "Bud" Melman. In 1988, the band released a Christmas cassette single. "1 Saw Elvis Dressed As Santa Claus" (b/w "Rock the Halls With Buddy Holly") got airplay locally all over the FM dial, and nationally on Dr. Demento's syndicated radio show (Tom and Jim had placed a song on a Demento compilation back in '82). The next year, larocci's tongue-in-cheek, blue-collar anthem "(Let's Go Out For A Beer And) Bitch About Work" was included on the 97Rock compilation Buffalo Rocks Volume III. Finally, in 1992, the Fibs released Scared Hitless, a 13-song album that mixed their earlier humorous approach with newer, more serious tunes. Metro Weekend's Miers called it "a true testament to their musicianship and songwriting capabilities." The Buffalo News' Anthony Violanti wrote, "All in all, a strong, fun album...." Songs from Scared Hitless have been covered locally by several bands including the Need. For the last few years, the Fibs have been busy playing clubs in the Buffalo area like Nietzsche's (where
