Welcome back for another Tiki Ten. September is the last hurrah of summer. As fall approaches we try to squeeze the last remnants of the warm weather out of our weekends. This starts with Labor Day. Hopefully you have some barbecues or camping or other fun activities planned. And to help you through it, here is a nice selection of some rockin' tunes! This includes music from our friends Outer Space Heaters, a new band that we discovered at a recent show, The Colourist, and a new selection from the breakout artist of the year, Gotye.
Berg, from Tiki Talks, joins us this week on the podcast. Money
takes a wrong turn and ends up at Inverness Jail. Lance loves watching
construction workers, so we talk a little bit about guilty pleasures and
fetishes. The consensus of the group is strip clubs, except Money, who loves
Oreo cookies in bed. None of us have Labor Day weekend plans, except a possible
barbeque at Sean’s while listening to the new Tiki Ten playlist that drops on
Friday! This weekend also kicks off college football, so Sean is a little
outnumbered this week, since Berg is a Beavers fan like Lance. Nick &
Tucker show up a little late to the game to drop a big announcement. And since
we have all three Tiki Talkers on the show, we discuss a little bit about why
we love our movies so much.
With the crazy amount of noise from last week’s National
Night Out, we decided to record from the “Library” that is Sean and Tucker’s
living room. However, we are sans Tucker this week. As summer winds down, we
have another Casey Movie Pick! This weekend Premium Rush hits theaters and we
can’t help but wonder, is Joseph Gordon Levitt going to take his shirt off to
make this a legitimate Casey Movie Pick? Lance brings some MLB news in the form
of Melky Cabrera’s 50 game suspension and King Felix’s perfect game (3rd
one in the majors this season). Lance also has a question for all you
listeners…what computer should he get to help with podcasting? Comment with
your suggestions below. Money leaves early, so Lance and Sean dive into the DC
Universe on film and writing in the comic industry. Sean also brings up some
fun things to do in Portland this weekend, starting with Hecklevision at
Hollywood Theater on Friday night. Then on Saturday, Laurelwood Brewery is
having their annual LaurelFest. This is a day full of beer & liquor
tastings, live music, and mini golf. On Sunday, Zach’s Shack on Hawthorne is
hosting their annual Hot Dog Eating Contest with a $5 entry. Summer is nearly
over, what are your plans this weekend?
So this isn’t the Campaign Legacy that we promised you. It
is however Expendables 2. The most rip-roaring, action packed, gun-toting
comedy of the year. That’s right, I said comedy. Berg, Lance, and Sean delve
into the catch phrase, one-liner, explosion heavy awesomeness that is
Expendables 2!
It’s National Night Out. The Tiki Boys spent the evening
down at Jolly Roger at John's Landing. We had some delicious barbeque,
cheap beers, and listened to The Eddyville Band play some tasty tunes. Some
friends dropped by to hang out and enjoy the festivities. Money weighs in on
Terrell “Terrible” Owens signing with the Seahawks while we play “Name That
Shot”. Sean must be the only person in the world who can legitimately segway
from football to the Avengers. We start talking about the news of Joss Whedon
signing on to do another Avengers movie and TV show. The beautiful Natalie
Portman just got married, so Money breaks down the juicy details of “Portman-gate”.
Zenda from Zen Salon at the Landing drops by to drop off some free samples for
the girls. Brittney plugs Rocio’s blog DilDo's and DilDon'ts, which starts a
lot of vagina talk. This includes Sean’s new product idea, which Money dubs “Fruit
of the Womb”. Listen in and give your suggestions for product names in the
comments below.
IT’S TUCKER’S BIRTHDAY!!! This past weekend we celebrated
another year passing to the wayside for Old Man Tucker. We smoked some hookah
down at the Pied Cow, then crawled our way over to the World Famous Belmont Inn
and picking up the wonderfully polite homeless dude, Thomas, and finally ending
up at the Space Room for some Purple Aliens. Money missed out on the shenanigans,
while heading up north to attend a ancillary friend’s wedding. While Tucker
tries to finish the Rogue birthday gauntlet, we talk a bit about some recent
sports developments. Lance clues us in on how Brandon Roy screwed the Blazers
by signing with the Timberwolves. And Sean recounts the MLB trade deadline acquisitions
that the Dodgers made, while making a bold prediction of a World Series
Champion. Lance thinks otherwise, and a bet is made. As we’re all getting a
little older, we ponder what our younger selves would think of where our lives
have taken us. Some have good thoughts and some of us our a little
disappointed. What do you think your younger self would think of where you are
now? Tonight is National Night Out! So check in with your local bar or block
party, or if you’re in the Portland Metro area, head down to the Jolly Roger in John's Landing and join us as we record live. There will be $2 burgers and
dogs, beer specials, live music from local musicians The Eddyville Band, and
of course…US!!! Join us in the mic and maybe win some prizes.
Berg, Sean, and Lance get together this week to review the
Outer Space Heaters new EP “Desolate Surf”. The album is 27:43 of rip roaring
surf rock. It’s also a great musical odyssey through space, spaghetti westerns,
and the ocean. Take a listen to our thoughts and then download the EP from Outer Space Heaters bandcamp page. Also, check out their show at Duff's Garage on August 17th.
So I know we promised you a video episode of Money. The
problem is a hour long video takes enormous amounts of time to upload and it
keeps timing out. We’ll crack this problem and get you the video ASAP. Bare
with us and you will be rewarded.
It's hard to do a
great cover song. Your taking someone else's message and repurposing it,
putting your own spin on it. The thing that I love about music is that it's
very subjective. A song can mean something different to two different people. I
believe that the cover song best exemplifies this. A good cover song provides
two different takes on the same song. A cover can give a song new meaning and
new life. So here is a few of my favorite covers.
