Program Advisory: "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "Prep & Landing"
From www.wkrn.com
ABC/WKRN Nashville, TN is airing "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "Disney's Prep & Landing" on 12/8/09 and a one hour version of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" again on 12/15/09. Due to the Fisher Show these programs will air on a delay as follows:
Sunday, 12/13/09 4:00 - 4:30pm "A Charlie Brown Christmas"
Sunday, 12/13/09 4:30 - 5:00pm "Disney's Prep & Landing"
Sunday, 12/20/09 2:00 - 3:00pm "A Charlie Brown Christmas"
ABC is airing "Disney's Prep & Landing" again on Wednesday, 12/16/09 from 7-7:30pm.
I, for one, am not very happy about this programming decisision. This is not the first time nationwide ABC programming was pre-empted due to this local show. If anything Jeff's show should be moved to before prime-time. Let WKRN know what you think of this move HERE.

Depeche Mode "Enjoy The Silence (Live)"
I'm a real fan of "dark wave" 80's rock and one of my favorite bands of that era is Depeche Mode. The synth, drum machines and brit-spy guitar tone comes together perfectly in this live track. I've always included this band's influence in the projects I write for. They are a huge influence of mine. Enjoy!

Weekly Rocker: Love's Tragedy
Femme-rocker Colleen Alanna has been stirring up the Nashville rock scene for a couple of years. Her new group "Love's Tragedy" is the perfect platform for her haunting melodies and brooding lyrics. At first glance some might dismiss this band and group them with bands like Evanescence or Lacuna Coil. Upon closer examination I find the the group displays not only great musicianship but draws upon post-modern bands like Missing Persons and Romeo Void still keeping the modern rock guitar-centric vibe. Check them out when you get a chance and you'll find that Love's Tragedy is far from tragic.

Aljon's "Going Away" Concert Footage part 1
My good friend Alli was able to capture some shenanigans from my recent "going away" party in September. My wife Kristen and the rest of the bands did a great job of keeping this party a secret from me. It was a HUGE surprise. After a few drinks Manic Bloom even got me to join them on stage for a cover of a song I wrote. Great stuff. Part two is coming soon. Stay tuned!

Aljon's Footage of "Mission: Space"
Take a look at some footage I shot during my last trip to WDW.
Step inside the X-2 Deep Space shuttle and discover the thrills of Mission: SPACE. This Epcot attraction is meant to simulate astronaut training for the first manned mission to Mars aboard the fictional X-2 Deep Space Shuttle in 2036, the seventy-fifth anniversary of Yuri Gagarin becoming the first man in space. (The year 2036 can be deduced from plaques in the attraction's queue celebrating 75 years of human spaceflight, including two faux milestones in the future.) Riders are "trainees" at the fictional International Space Training Center (ISTC), where they are arranged into crews of four before watching an introductory video featuring actor Gary Sinise.

Jimmy Kimmel and Melissa Joan Hart
I have done plenty of interviews in my time and the worst part is that "awkward silence" that can happen from time to time. I did my very best not to bring it on myself, however in this case Jimmy does a great job of creating the second best awkward moment this year next to the Taylor/Kanye debacle. See for yourself.
As a side note I have not seen "Dancing with the Stars" since Stacy Keibler was on it. I will admit Melissa seems to be taking care of herself. Now if she can only land a tv show like Jennifer Love-Hewitt.

Hornqvist, Klein lift Predators to win
Provided by PA Sports LINK
NASHVILLE, Tenn.(AP) — Patric Hornqvist and the Nashville
Predators closed out October with a flourish.
Hornqvist and Kevin Klein scored 1:43 apart midway through the
third period to lead Nashville to a 4-2 win over the Dallas
Stars on Saturday night.
The Predators are on a season-high three-game winning streak.
Dallas lost for the second time in two nights.
The teams traded power-play goals in the first. Steve Ott scored
for Dallas and Shea Weber answered for Nashville.
With the Stars on the power play, Brad Richards sent a wrist
shot on goal from the left point. Nashville goaltender Pekka
Rinne stopped that shot, but Ott was able to pounce on the
rebound and beat Rinne on the stick side.
James Neal also assisted on Ott’s goal, giving him a point in a
career-high six consecutive games.
Ott returned to the Stars’ lineup after serving a two-game
suspension for a low hit he delivered to St. Louis defenseman
Carlo Colaiacovo on Oct. 24.
Dallas took a 2-1 lead at 2:15 of the second on a goal by Brian
Sutherby, but Nashville tied it early in the third on Steve
Sullivan’s first goal since the season opener in Dallas.
“We thought that we were really taking the play to them so there
was really no doubt in our minds that this game was ours for the
taking,” Sullivan said.
Nashville took its first lead at 10:59 when Hornqvist picked up
a loose puck in the Dallas crease and put a wrist shot
underneath the crossbar for his third of the season.
“For the first time in 10 games, I got it right on my stick,”
Hornqvist said. “It was nice to get a goal again, and if we can
keep playing like that we are going to have success the whole
year.”
Klein put the Predators in front 4-2 at 11:42 with a slap shot
through traffic from the right point.
“If you look at all of the goals, there is one common theme that
there was someone right in front of the net,” Nashville coach
Barry Trotz said. “Goals are hard to come by, you have to go to
the hard places, and guys did.”
Rinne made 27 saves to record his fourth consecutive win. Alex
Auld turned aside 29 shots in the loss.
“Both teams had some pretty quality chances, but overall our
game has been improving over the last week or so,” Rinne said.
Auld felt his team was in good position going into the third
period with a 2-1 lead.
“They came out with a lot of sustained pressure, and they scored
three hardworking goals,” Auld said. “I would have liked to come
up with some saves to hold the team in it, but I wasn’t able to
do that tonight.”
NOTES: This was the third meeting between the teams this season.
They won’t play each other again until they finish the season
series on March 23 in Nashville. … Dallas G Marty Turco missed
his second consecutive game because of flulike symptoms. … The
Predators have scored a power-play goal in three consecutive
games for the first time this season. … Nashville RW Martin
Erat missed his second straight game because of a lower body
injury.

Sorcerer Radio?
I get messages and tweets from people asking me what's up with all the Disney tweets? Aren't you like the "Nashville rock guru?" Why YES I AM the Nashville rock guru, radio show host, guitar blogger and purveyor of pop-culture! I also really dig Disney. I always have. Long before I picked up a guitar I was drawing my favorite Marvel heroes and recreating some iconic Disney movie posters. I wished one day to become a comic book artist or to become an animator at Disney. As I grew older my tastes shifted toward music. Since my wife and I spent our honeymoon at Disney a few years back it has brought us closer together and reawakened my love for art and all those great iconic characters.
For the past few years my wife and I have been an active part of the Sorcerer Radio community. I even help my wife with her web-series "Cooking With Mickey" that shows people how to recreate food from and inspired by Disney theme parks and films!
After leaving my top rated show "The Local Buzz" in September 2009 after many years I needed a break. With my "day job" and working at the Buzz I was spreading myself really thin. After a few weeks of helping my wife with her new "Disney Dining Experience" food review segment on Sorcerer Radio's Disney podcast "Character Breakfast" an opening to do a Friday Morning broadcast was available. After some discussion we decided to see if we could host the show. Surely enough the head of the station agreed and now I'm back on the air! This gives us a great opportunity to work on another project together and help me keep my radio "chops" as it were.
I really look forward to getting back on the air at the #1 Disney station on the web as well as co-hosting a show with my wife! Please follow our blogs and Twitter. Don't forget to tune into the "Tiki Room Morning Show" Friday at 8:00 am EST for two hours of Disney family fun!
Thanks for your support!

I'm back - sort of!
My section has finally been removed from the Buzz website after more than a month. I'd like to thank the crew at the Buzz and the Party for being my radio family since 1999! I learned a lot from working there and hosting The Local Buzz show. I wish them all the best and continued success! Please support them and listen HERE!

Right now I plan on getting a few things in order and hope to spend more time with my wife. It's pretty difficult when you travel as much as I do, but family comes first! In the mean time there has been plenty of talk of me returning to radio, or perhaps hosting a Local Buzz type of t.v. show. At this point it's all talk. I can say that I am working on something right now that will be a departure from you might have heard from me in the past. Follow me on Twitter for more news on this new project!

Les Paul 1915-2009
Les Paul has changed the face of popular music and culture forever. He is a true American Icon and his impact will forever be felt in the heart and soul of every musician for generations to come. Thank you for everything. God speed. - Aljon

From Gibson.com
New York, NY...August 13, 2009...Les Paul, acclaimed guitar player, entertainer and inventor, passed away today from complications of severe pneumonia at White Plains Hospital in White Plains, New York, surrounded by family and loved ones. He had been receiving the best available treatment through this final battle and in keeping with his persona, he showed incredible strength, tenacity and courage. The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks for the thoughts and prayers from his dear friends and fans. Les Paul was 94.
One of the foremost influences on 20th century sound and responsible for the world's most famous guitar, the Les Paul model, Les Paul's prestigious career in music and invention spans from the 1930s to the present. Though he's indisputably one of America's most popular, influential, and accomplished electric guitarists, Les Paul is best known as an early innovator in the development of the solid body guitar. His groundbreaking design would become the template for Gibson's best-selling electric, the Les Paul model, introduced in 1952. Today, countless musical legends still consider Paul's iconic guitar unmatched in sound and prowess. Among Paul's most enduring contributions are those in the technological realm, including ingenious developments in multi-track recording, guitar effects, and the mechanics of sound in general.
Born Lester William Polsfuss in Waukesha, Wisconsin on June 9, 1915, Les Paul was already performing publicly as a honky-tonk guitarist by the age of 13. So clear was his calling that Paul dropped out of high school at 17 to play in Sunny Joe Wolverton's Radio Band in St. Louis. As Paul's mentor, Wolverton was the one to christen him with the stage name “Rhubarb Red," a moniker that would follow him to Chicago in 1934. There, Paul became a bona fide radio star, known as both hillbilly picker Rhubarb Red and Django Reinhardt-informed jazz guitarist Les Paul. His first recordings were done in 1936 on an acoustic—alone as Rhubarb Red, as well as backing blues singer Georgia White. The next year he formed his first trio, but by 1938 he'd moved to New York to begin his tenure on national radio with one of the more popular dance orchestras in the country, Fred Waring's Pennsylvanians.
Tinkering with electronics and guitar amplification since his youth, Les Paul began constructing his own electric guitar in the late '30s. Unhappy with the first generation of commercially available hollowbodies because of their thin tone, lack of sustain, and feedback problems, Paul opted to build an entirely new structure. “I was interested in proving that a vibration-free top was the way to go," he has said. “I even built a guitar out of a railroad rail to prove it. What I wanted was to amplify pure string vibration, without the resonance of the wood getting involved in the sound." With the good graces of Epiphone president Epi Stathopoulo, Paul used the Epiphone plant and machinery in 1941 to bring his vision to fruition. He affectionately dubbed the guitar “The Log."
Les Paul's tireless experiments sometimes proved to be dangerous, and he nearly electrocuted himself in 1940 during a session in the cellar of his Queens apartment. During the next two years of rehabilitation, Les earned his living producing radio music. Forced to put the Pennsylvanians and the rest of his career on hold, Les Paul moved to Hollywood. During World War II, he was drafted into the Army but permitted to stay in California, where he became a regular player for Armed Forces Radio Service. By 1943 he had assembled a trio that regularly performed live, on the radio, and on V-Discs. In 1944 he entered the jazz spotlight—thanks to his dazzling work filling in for Oscar Moore alongside Nat King Cole, Illinois Jacquet, and other superstars —at the first of the prestigious Jazz at the Philharmonic concerts.
By his mid-thirties, Paul had successfully combined Reinhardt-inspired jazz playing and the western swing and twang of his Rhubarb Red persona into one distinctive, electrifying style. In the Les Paul Trio he translated the dizzying runs and unusual harmonies found on Jazz at the Philharmonic into a slower, subtler, more commercial approach. His novelty instrumentals were tighter, brasher, and punctuated with effects. Overall, the trademark Les Paul sound was razor-sharp, clean-shaven, and divinely smooth.
As small combos eclipsed big bands toward the end of World War II, Les Paul Trio's popularity grew. They cut records for Decca both alone and behind the likes of Helen Forrest, the Andrews Sisters, the Delta Rhythm Boys, Dick Hayes, and, most notably, Bing Crosby. Since 1945, when the crooner brought them into the studio to back him on a few numbers, the Trio had become regular guests on Crosby's hit radio show. The highlight of the session was Paul's first No. 1 hit and million-seller, the gorgeous “It's Been a Long, Long Time."
Meanwhile, Paul began to experiment with dubbing live tracks over recorded tracks, also altering the playback speed. This resulted in “Lover (When You're Near Me)," his revolutionary 1947 predecessor to multi-track recording. The hit instrumental featured Les Paul on eight different electric guitar parts, all playing together.
In 1948, Paul nearly lost his life to a devastating car crash that shattered his right arm and elbow. Still, he convinced doctors to set his broken arm in the guitar-picking and cradling position. Laid up but undaunted, Paul acquired a first generation Ampex tape recorder from Crosby in 1949, and began his most important multi-tracking adventure, adding a fourth head to the recorder to create sound-on-sound recordings. While tinkering with the machine and its many possibilities, he also came up with tape delay. These tricks, along with another recent Les Paul innovation—close mic-ing vocals—were integrated for the first time on a single recording: the 1950 No. 1 tour de force “How High the Moon."
This historic track was performed during a duo with future wife Mary Ford. The couple's prolific string of hits for Capitol Records not only included some of the most popular recordings of the early 1950s, but also wrote the book on contemporary studio production. The dense but crystal clear harmonic layering of guitars and vocals, along with Ford's close mic-ed voice and Paul's guitar effects, produced distinctively contemporary recordings with unprecedented sonic qualities. Through hits, tours, and popular radio shows, Paul and Ford kept one foot in the technological vanguard and the other in the cultural mainstream.
All the while, Les Paul continued to pine for the perfect guitar. Though The Log came close, it wasn't quite what he was after. In the early 1950s, Gibson Guitar would cultivate a partnership with Paul that would lead to the creation of the guitar he'd seen only in his dreams. In 1948, Gibson elected to design its first solidbody, and Paul, a self-described “dyed-in-the-wool Gibson man," seemed the right man for the job. Gibson avidly courted the guitar legend, even driving deep into the Pennsylvania mountains to deliver the first model to newlyweds Les Paul and Mary Ford.
“Les played it, and his eyes lighted up," then-Gibson President Ted McCarty has recalled. The year was 1950, and Paul had just signed on as the namesake of Gibson's first electric solidbody, with exclusive design privileges. Working closely with Paul, Gibson forged a relationship that would change popular culture forever. The Gibson Les Paul model—the most powerful and respected electric guitar in history—began with the 1952 release of the Les Paul Goldtop. After introducing the original Les Paul Goldtop in 1952, Gibson issued the Black Beauty, the mahogany-topped Les Paul Custom, in 1954. The Les Paul Junior (1954) and Special (1955) were also introduced before the canonical Les Paul Standard hit the market in 1958. With revolutionary humbucker pickups, this sunburst classic has remained unchanged for the half-century since it hit the market.
“The world has lost a truly innovative and exceptional human being today. I cannot imagine life without Les Paul. He would walk into a room and put a smile on anyone's face. His musical charm was extraordinary and his techniques unmatched anywhere in the world," said Henry Juszkiewicz, Chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar. “We will dedicate ourselves to preserving Les' legacy to insure that it lives on forever. He touched so many lives throughout his remarkable life and his influence extends around the globe and across every boundary. I have lost a dear, personal friend and mentor, a man who has changed so many of our lives for the better."
“I don't think any words can describe the man we know as Les Paul adequately. The English language does not contain words that can pay enough homage to someone like Les. As the “Father of the Electric Guitar", he was not only one of the world's greatest innovators but a legend who created, inspired and contributed to the success of musicians around the world," said Dave Berryman, President of Gibson Guitar. “I have had the privilege to know and work with Les for many, many years and his passing has left a deep personal void. He was simply put – remarkable in every way. As a person, a musician, a friend, an inventor. He will be sorely missed by us all."
With the rise of the rock 'n' roll revolution of 1955, Les Paul and Mary Ford's popularity began to wane with younger listeners, though Paul would prove to be a massive influence on younger generation of guitarists. Still, Paul and Ford maintained their iconic presence with their wildly popular television show, which ran from 1953-1960. In 1964, the couple, parents to a son and daughter, divorced. Paul began playing in Japan, and recorded an LP for London Records before poor health forced him to take time off—as much as someone so inspired can take time off.
In the 1977, Paul resurfaced with a Grammy-winning Chet Atkins collaboration, Chester and Lester. Then the ailing guitarist, who'd already suffered arthritis and permanent hearing loss, had a heart attack, followed by bypass surgery.
Ever stubborn, Les recovered, and returned to live performance in the late 1980s. Until recently Les continued to perform two weekly New York shows with the Les Paul Trio, even releasing the 2005 double-Grammy winner Les Paul & Friends: American Made World Played, featuring collaborations with a veritable who's who of the electric guitar, including dozens of illustrious fans like Keith Richards, Buddy Guy, Billy Gibbons, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Joe Perry. In 2008, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame paid tribute to Les Paul in a week-long celebration of his life which culminated with a live performance by Les himself.
Les Paul has since become the only individual to share membership into the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the National Inventors Hall of Fame, and the National Broadcasters Hall of Fame. Les is survived by his three sons Lester (Rus) G. Paul, Gene W. Paul and Robert (Bobby) R. Paul, his daughter Colleen Wess, son-in-law Gary Wess, long time friend Arlene Palmer, five grandchildren and five great grandchildren. A private Funeral service will be held in New York. A service in Waukesha, WI will be announced at a later date. Details will follow and will be announced for all services. Memorial tributes for the public will be announced at a future date. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Les Paul Foundation, 236 West 30th Street, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10001.

Sell Your Music on Rock Band and Guitar Hero
Green Day just released a new album and you can purchase tracks from the album in Rock Band. This game is now seen as a way to get your music to your fans. Indies have been shut out of this service, but that will come to an end very soon.
Harmonix and MTV Games are opening access to all artists via a newly created Rock Band Network, a platform that gives musicians and record labels the ability to author their own original recordings into gameplay files and sell their music as playable Rock Band tracks through the newly-created Rock Band Network Music Store.
Artists can set their own price from 50 cents to $3 per track and rwill eceive 30% of any sales. But there enough technical hoops to jump through that most artists may want to let their distributor or other third party do the heavy lifting. The new platform will launch in open beta in late August.
Musicians/Publishers will be able to submit their tracks for playtesting and peer review via a specialized Web site, Creators.RockBand.com. You will also need (here is the catch) a membership in Microsoft’s XNA Creators Club Online in order to test and publish game content. The service will only be available to those who purchase a premium membership to Microsoft’s XNA Creators Club for four months at $49.99 or for a year at $99.99.
The service will launch to only Xbox and PlayStation users, but other platforms are expected to be supported soon.

Thanks to G4tv's Olivia Munn for Tweeting me about this. Check it out!
Yes, we know how brilliant the internet is and how anything can be faked or photoshopped… But, this video on Larry King Live inside Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch shows a dark shadow walking through a hall where noone is. Michael’s brother, Jermaine is giving a tour through the house. And everyone is saying it’s Michael Jackson’s ghost…
Check out Ms. Munn's website!
