We had the idea to do some recordings in the rest room on the top floor of our building . . . yes, seriously . . . On more than one occasion, everyone at the station had brought up the idea, but it was always shot down because “No band would be willing to do that! Come on! Get your head out of your rear! And put that baby down.”
Okay… no babies were harmed in this taping . . . but I digress . . .
That theory was blown out of the water by Springfield, MO’s Ha Ha Tonka. One of the guys, after a trip to the aforementioned rest room, came back to the studio and said. “Dude, that bathroom is incredible! The acoustics are AWESOME! We should go record this in there.”
And then . . . we did . . .
Without further adieu . . . Episode 1 of Live from the Loo. Here’s Ha Ha Tonka with Hangman.
Every week one of us, although it has not yet been agreed upon which one, will post (3) videos that we’re really loving and you will (hopefully) vote for the Video Of the Week (VOW). For the first week of VOW, we have three great music videos for you to choose from, but that doesn’t mean that we’ll limit ourselves to just music videos in the future. Oh no, we’re entertained by many strange and wonderful things besides just music.
Leave a comment and let us know who the winner is.

Well, I am going to try, emphasis on try, to share some of the better songs I get emailed to me every week. We will start with a few I received this week:
