Tony Thomas, Acoustic Death Machine, Kyle Matteson, Steve McPherson and Stook got together this week to talk about music, both that the local and national level. Among the topics are:
- Tom Hallet’s Flame war
- Bon Iver
- Twin Town High, Vol. 9
- Third Ear Recording
- Kanye vs. 50 Cent
- Britney Spears
- Prince sues YouTube
- Trent Reznor says to Australia, “Steal it.”
- Led Zeppelin reunion concert
- Radiohead goes digital
- White Stripes cancel tour
Plus Tony interviewed Lizz Winstead by phone, but the recording failed. Lizz is a Minnesota native and co-creator of The Daily Show. She’s in town holding auditions for a new reality TV show called Ready 2 Rock. They’re looking for people over 40 who still want to take one last shot at rock-stardom. She described the show as, “more Project Greenlight and less American Idol.”
READY 2 ROCK is looking first and foremost for music superfans from all rock genres. Some will be encyclopedic in their rock knowledge, some just enamored with chicks and partying. All bandmates must play instruments and some must be songwriters.
Two of them will believe they are undeniably the front man.
Auditions will take place at Java Jack’s, 818 W 46th St. in Minneapolis on October 10 from 5-10. This is an open casting call. Apologies to Lizz Winstead for not getting the interview recorded.
