Sunspot Road Mania - Ep. 100

At long last... We proudly present the 100th episode of Sunspot Road Mania!

This episode features a retrospective of the past year. We had so many exciting and fun events that it was honestly very difficult to boil down to a 10-minute episode. But the process of reviewing the year was great and reminded me just how lucky we are to be surrounded by incredible people and places!

Enjoy the video and feel free to comment with your favorite Sunspot moment from 2009!

Old-School Sunspot Video "Prozac Girl" 2001

That's right, friends, the hits just keep on coming. This is the third week in a row we've brought you "classic" (classic, ha, there's nothing classic about the peroxide blonde in this video and did I steal that bowling shirt from a Big Lebowski convention?) Sunspot songs that have been sitting on VHS for the past few years.

This one's a live performance of "Prozac Girl" from the James Madison Memorial High School Arts Week in 2001.



Next week, we'll be back with some newer material (maybe another pop-up video if we can work up enough jokes this weekend) but since we're reaching the end of the Aughts, I thought it would be fun to check in on where we were at the beginning of the decade. We have hours and hours of tape from Sunspot concerts, tours, and television appearances over the past few years so we'll be putting up videos from all throughout our history on the weeks in between podcasts. By the way, we'll be coming up on our 100th podcast soon and I promise we'll do it before the end of the year, we'll definitely be featuring the highlights from this year's Sunspot Christmas Party on the 19th!

Old School Sunspot Video: Meat Market

This one's even older than last week's, but just in time for the holiday, here's another one from the vaults. "Meat Market" is the first actual music video we ever released (thanks to our man, Steve Concotelli for putting it together!) from our first album, Radio Free Earth. Live, we usually dedicate it to Bullwinkle's (a wonderfully sleazy dance club in Madison that the aforementioned Steve introduced me to on underage night when I was still in high school), and we didn't know at the time that years later, Sunspot would host two CD release parties there and before it was full of butt-shaking, sweaty, oversexed young adults dancing to techno (and my favorite, 80's night!) it was a club called Headliners that hosted everyone from U2 to Sonic Youth to The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

The footage from the club we're playing at in this video is the fondly remembered and long-lost O'Cayz Corral and funny enough, the studio we're recording in is Cactus Studios, which was in the basement of the building that now holds O'Cayz' successor, The High Noon Saloon.

This year I'm thankful that I no longer sport that goatee (or that wicked gut!) but I'm also thankful for the fact that we've had over a dozen excellent years of writing songs, playing shows, traveling, and generally carrying on in the most ridiculous fashion possible. And we're positively thankful that we've got a lot to be really excited about what we've got in store for 2010.

Change The World Old-School Video

I almost forgot we had this one. Wendy's first video editing project was a mash-up of some of our live performances throughout the late 90's set to "Change The World" from our first album, Radio Free Earth. We sent this tape out to booking agents right around the turn of the century and I thought you guys might enjoy a trip down Memory Lane with us.

I just got a decent Elgato video capture card, so I'll be going through the VHS collection and putting up "classic" stuff as I find it!

I think I have at least 4 different hair colors in this video as well.

"More Than My Degree" Pop-Up Video

Here's our version of Pop-Up Video for "More Than My Degree" off the Singularity album.

"Grand Guignol" Pop-Up Video

For all the people that missed their World Premiere on the WYOU telethon awhile back, here's our version of Pop-Up Video for "Grand Guignol" off the Singularity album. Let us know if you enjoy them and we'll make some more soon

No Place Like Home

Everyone wants to escape their small town, everyone thinks they're a fish out of water or a man out of time.

But sometimes the last place you want to be is the place where you belong the most.

This one has a Police meets U2 meets Weezer vibe.

Grand Guignol

"Grand Guignol" is a hard rock anthem about the people who just have to make a big deal out of everything.

Le Theatre du Grand-Guignol was where Parisians used to go to get shocked. They specialized in naturalistic horror plays that were over-dramatized, ridiculous, and over the top. It now comes to mean any gruesome or gory drama or event.

We all know at least one person who loves to turn every night into drama night, and this song is for them.

Hypnogogic

The Heidegger Paradox by Sunspot Video

Here's a video for our song "The Heidegger Paradox". Thanks to The Guppy Effect and Mr. Robert's in Madison, WI for providing the party!

"Alive Day" by Sunspot Torchwood Season One

Alright, after watching all those awesome Doctor Who fan videos from season one a couple years back, I've wanted to make a fan video using one of our songs, but it was hard to find an appropriate song. We just finished a recording of a brand new song, "Alive Day", and I made a video for it from clips of Torchwood Season One. It's one of my favorite shows currently and I thought the subject matter of the song and the TV show fit perfectly.

Please let us know what you think and if you dig the song, we'll be making a few more tweaks, but we'll have an MP3 of it up soon as well.

If you like it, please feel free to let your friends know about the new tune.

But now it's gone forever and no data recovery services can do anything to salvage that greatness. Thanks to Kevin Z. for sneaking the camera by the vigilant security guards and enjoy the songs!

Here's another one from the van as we're driving through Ohio on our way back from the Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, PA. The drive was a little terrifying this morning because there was a snowstorm rolling in as we were leaving, but otherwise it's been somewhat pleasant and it was a wicked party, especially Friday, but with $5 pitchers at Zembie's and working up the liquid courage to talk and hand out CDs to every person we met that night, memories are fuzzy...

Anyway, here's the links to the people we talk about in this podcast.

Millennium Music Conference
Future of Music Coalition

I just checked it out on Wendy's laptop and the files are cooked as fuck. It looks like doing podcasts from the Treo might be a little bit too far on the low quality end, might work in a pinch, but this isn't what we're looking for.

Sunspot Road Mania - Ep. 29

Got clipped at the end when we hit a traffic jam, but it's us talking about New Year's.

We're at Hollywood Alley right now in Mesa, AZ and it's a really cool place. We were going to do an acoustic show but it looks like an electric room. so I think we're gonna go with that.

We're playing in an hour!
