In the midst of PPDMAGEDDON!! Marty admits that his German au pair has abandoned his family. She claims there’s too much tension in the Moldy Basement. Well good-riddance, now that the podcast has received international acclaim in Photon Magazine (huh?) it’s all sunshine and rainbows from here on out. Wished we could say the same for Captain Francesco Schettino of the Italian Titanic. That story needs to be talked about, like Newt Gingrich needs an open marriage.
And finally huge credit to Brian and Tekla from the band Blvd Park for sledding through the ice and snow to share songs from their forthcoming CD “The Sound.” See them at their CD Release Party, February 9th at the Tractor Tavern. Or find Brian peddling brewskis and Skittles at Century Link.

Comedian Tommy Johnagin (Laughs in Kirkland, Friday and Saturday, January 13/14) regales us with hilarious (and maybe depressing) stories of returning rejected engagement rings to Jared’s.

On the other end of the relationship timeline, Michael Stusser and Marty discover a new dating website called www.seekingarrangement.com that makes no bones about what’s expected from a Sugar Daddy.
And for the kids – there’s always something for the kids – one of Seattle’s most popular “kindependent” bands, Recess Monkey (Teatro Zinzanni Spiegeltent, February 18) perform a little sing-a-long in the Moldy Basement. Marty misses his cue on the sing-a-long. As usual.
Recess Monkeys, Marty and Michael

The big question that comes from today’s show is it OK to steal office supplies – or moon rocks – from NASA? America’s hearthrob (or at least Kent’s) comedian Jeff Dye (The Parlor Live in Bellevue, January 6th & 7th, 2012) rings in on astronaut theft, eating left-over’s from the vet, and his new show “Money from Strangers” coming to MTV.
Marty, Jeff Dye, and Michael
In addition, violin empresario Susan Voelz, formerly with John Mellencamp and Poi Dog Pondering, reminisces about the intimidating size of cameras on Saturday Night Live while bringing her new Thai Yoga performance to Fremont’s West of Lenin this weekend

It’s our wonderful year-end wrap-up and the basement is full of liberal media elites, eco-warriors, and Hawaiian-born (Kenyan) bohemians. Local NPR-host Megan Sukys - please pledge now – jumps the tracks to the wild side of reckless, foul-mouthed indie podcasting, and somehow maintains her dignity and professionalism.
Kooky Tom Watson, King County’s energetic champion of everything green, squeezes in a few 2011 environmental highlights – bye bye plastic bags. And finally, the magnificent multi-instrumentalist Kimo Muraki (Tiny Messengers and Surrealized), caps a fabulous year of basement originated live music.

Horrifying, scandalous holiday revelations this morning on the podcast. First, Seattle Weekly Editor Mike Seely outs the Capitol Hill Ice Rink as being made of rubber. Really!?!? Speaking of rubber, one of he bands featured on the new Planned Parenthood compilation CD “Sex Positive,” NoRey, makes their debut appearance on the podcast with two sizzling Latin-infused rockers.
We play a quick round of Blatant Stereotyping with a former Choir Boy and wrestler from Havre, Montana.
This is our last show before Christmas, so Happy Holidays to everyone. We’ll see you back in the basement on December 30.

You never expect a professional idiot whose been repeatedly institutionalized to be nearly as thoughtful and bright as Jackass’s Steve O. He’s part time philosopher, part time madman, part time Buddhist. And part time standup comic, performing at LAUGHS in Kirkland this weekend, Friday & Saturday, December 9th & 10th.
And welcome the return of our new house band, Cody Beebe & The Crooks. Making their third appearance, this genre bending jam band is as tight as ever and harkens back to the 1970′s Allman Brothers. Cody – and his fabulous hair – rock in the New Year, December 31st at Seattle’s Hard Rock Cafe

It’s Mark Twain’s 176th birthday, or was that the other day? Anyhow, today’s podcast showcases our literary ignorance (and Marty’s new slimfit shirt) as we try and determine who said what. Then, joining our roundtable today, ex-baggage handler and current prime time crooner Danny Quintero (See him live every Thursday night at Amore Infused in Belltown) and Americana duo, fresh off their tour of Room 125 in Lawrence, Kansas (cool story), The Local Strangers.
The video above unfortunately cuts out mid-show, so make sure to listen to the full podcast to hear The Local Strangers play (Columbia City Theater, Saturday, December 3, 2011) and information on how to pay Ticketmaster for your court-ordered class action settlement.

Like a pepper spray blast in the face from a Black Friday-crazed shopper, today’s podcast will wake you up, make you cry tears (of joy), and make you wish you’d gotten a flat screen for $245. Making a special pseudo-holiday apearance on the podcast, the most popular podcaster in the world, comedian Marc Maron visits the Moldy Basement. In town for a show at Seattle’s Neptune Theater (Friday night, November 25th) Marc riffs on Seattle’s eternal road construction and the outdated stereotype of being vegan. Plus we answer the question: Is Maron Jewish or is he Hillbilly, because his family lives in Florida. Only two options.
Making his second appearance on the podcast, but this time with his full power trio in tow, Andrew Vait’s Eternal Fair plays some fantastic, big chunky tunes to wrap up our Thanksgiving weekend spectacular. You can see Eternal Fair this Sunday night, November 27 at Seattle’s Columbia City Theater.
Oh, and HAPPY BIRTDHAY YAZ!! (now get back to work!!)

Smart, funnny and curiously same-looking, the hilarious, identically-twinned Sklar Brothers swing by the podcast today with the backstory on how they were conjoined at one point. And how the separation procedure rendered one of them hairless. Ouch! Go see the Sklars live this weekend (Friday and Saturday, November 18th & 19th) at The Parlor in Bellevue.
Meanwhile singer-songwriter Kris Orlowski bellows a great tune off his forthcoming CD, Warsaw. (CD Release Party, Wednesday, November 23, 2011, at the Tracor Tavern).
Finally, we get the lowdown on the showdown between the Feds and Seattle’s pot dispensaries from MSNBC Business Editor, and card-carrying medical marijuana patient, Al Olson. Let’s legalize this bitch already.

It’s the 11th day of the 11th month of the 11th year, and the Bible calls for us to podcast. Making her 11th appearance on the podcast – will this woman never learn – Camille Bloom steps up to celebrate the release of her fantastic 11th record (You hear that Seattle Weekly!!!) “Never Out of Time.” Fresh off a Western U.S. tour with stories to tell of awkward venues and even more awkward DJ interviewers (present company included).
We follow that up with a live performance from the Gig Harbor-based band Perry Acker (which one’s Perry? Don’t ask) who, by the way, forgot to bring their instruments. Luckily, the Moldy Basement is full of children’s toys, plastic recorders and triangle-bangers that Perry Acker turns into acoustic GOLD! The band plays the Tractor Tavern on November 18th – they may even bring instruments!
Now go hug a Veteran, people….
