Dear JT,

Thought that you'd like to know that the children at Selsted Church of England
Primary School were told that the schhol will NOT be closing.

Due process has been executed and John Simmonds (the cabinet member for
education and school improvement) has decided that Our School should NOT be
closed.

And here's your Essay:

    Summertime is all about sequels. X-Men Three, Clerks II, Die Hard 4, I mean if the Entertainment section of the newspaper keeps covering sequels, then why shouldn't the Front page cover sequels as well?
 
    Last weekend, one of my close personal friends and most enlightened individual on the planet, Newt Gingrich - oh wait - [noise like hitting the back of one's own head], ah that feels better, every once in awhile you have to get the old noggin' back in line, now where was I? Oh yes, last weekend, one of the biggest retards on the planet and complete two faced bastard, Newt Gingrich was on the venerable Meet the Press, where he told Woodsy the Owl himself, Tim Russert, that the situation in Israel and Lebanon was the beginning of World War III. Now notwithstanding that Tim Russert has a face that looks like he's about to ask how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop, even he looked shocked that good ol Newt took the old rhetoric meter up to a new level. I mean Newt didn't just pick the hammer up and ring the bell, he goddamn might as well have popped the bell off.
    
    But then again, once you get past the pasty face, the slick beady eyes, the ridiculous Peter Graves from Mission Impossible haircut, you just have to ask yourself is good old salamander face right? Is the beginning of World War III?
 
    And, rest assured dear Toddshow listeners, we're not at the beginning of World War III - we're way past it. You see, World War III already happened. 
 
    You see, on July 13, 2006, son of Satan himself Bill O'Reilly said that we were already said that World War III had started. But, compare this with the July 10, 2006 edition of the Fox Big Story show where Mr. Personality himself, John Gibson interviewed a guy named interviewed Michael Ledeen, resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), and said "some are calling the global war on terror something else, something more like World War III." But Ledeen responded that "it's more like World War IV because there was a Cold War, which was certainly a world war." Ledeen added that "probably the start of it [World War IV] was the Iranian revolution of 1979."
 
    Ok, fine, so we're up to World War IV? Right? Apparently frigging not. On the July 13 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Fox News host Sean Hannity declared: "we are loaded up today, as the Middle East on the brink of World War V, here."

    Look, we could talk all day about whether or not Israel has the right to bomb the Hezbollah back to the caveman days until Hezbollah stops lobbing missiles into downtown Haifa. And we could talk all day whether its right for Iran to arm Hezbollah or whether its right for the US to arm Israel....and we can talk all day whether Oprah is gay. Personally, I don't think she is, but that doesn't mean that I don't think that she hasn't had some wild and crazy nights in college that she may not remember, but hey, live and let live right? 
    
    Because if you take Gingrich, Gibson, and Hannity and really look at them, they are just nothing more than pawns for the whole conservative movement that knows that we are coming up to a very big election this fall, and there is nothing more that will get people buzzing than World War V. I mean these guys are starting to run out of ideas. Because as Rocky V proved, once you've gotten up to V sequels, the whole concept has pretty much jumped the shark, and lets be honest Sylvester Stallone beating up Tommy Gunn in the streets had as much credibility as Newt's whole contract with America.
 
    But the end of the day, people like Gingrich, Gibson and Hannity, aren't just considered conservatives, they are considered neoconservative, with the term "neo" not just meaning Keanu Reeves in the Matrix, but a whole form of "new wave" conservativism that is not exactly the same as isolationism, and is step to the left of cavemanism, and a little to the right of botulism, and for neocons to really get their message out, they need you to be scared
 
    Now, I'm not going to go as far as saying that neocons and terrorists have any kind of connection, and certainly some of my best friends may have conservative tendencies, but lets face it, they both like to drop bombs. Terrorists, like hezbollah, drop bombs in public places and kill a lot of innocent people. Neocons like to drop bombs like World War V into civilized arguments and serious discussions and make every attempt to clear the room quicker than one of my brother's farts.
 
    For these morons to start throwing around terms like Armageddon while you and I are flicking around the tv trying something more interesting to watch than a repeat of Sponge Bob Poop Pants, is just plain wrong. Because this isn't the beginning of World War V, this is the beginning of World War Five Million, because if the history of Israel and Lebanon has shown us that these two neighbors get along as Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie. Just two many similarities between them but too many bad vibes to make it all just work out.
 
    Until jerks like Hannity and Gingrich can all get on the same page, and figure out which war I'm supposed to be hiding under the bed from, I'm just gonna go back to something really scary - Big Momma's House 2....

 

On the Jersey Toddshow, you'll hear it here first, and tonight I have a special edition for you - James Brown has joined the revolution.

1. Rock Down Baby

3. Id Guiness
4. Psychic Hearts
5. Testosterone
6. Vittoria Conn

Also, helping out with this show was John Wall from the M-Show, the Geoff Smith, Tangential Cold....and big plug for Rutter's Ramblings and The Rubberoom.

Check out this wonderful email that I received today. This is why I podcast:

Hi My name is Colette Laing and am a teaching assistant at Selsted Church of England Primary School. I would like to thank you for playing our song and we welcome any exposure in publishing our case. The children have voiced their views on this song and they are really excited that their song being played in America so thank you for you support.

I am so psyched about this show. First, I missed podcasting. The State of New Jersey shutdown caused big problems. Second, the first song on this podcast, is a big deal, and we're catching it early.

1. Children of Selsted CE Primary School 
2. The Lascivious Biddies
3. Geoff Smith
4. Munk
5. Cake or Death
6. Roadside Zoo

Here is the video for the Selsted kids. You need to watch this and then grab your credit card and buy numerous copies of this song.

Can You Dig It? Podshow Plus is out....

 

<a href="http://www.podshow.com/"> Podshow PDN </a> {podshow-58a9227d12a760c548964e857e1789fd}

As one of the only podcasting attorneys, I come to this whole process from a different frame of mind. Generally, there are a lot of technical people or media people in podcasting, and they all come to this arena with wonderful skill sets that I absolutely do not have - the very proof being the page that you are reading right now.

Today, Podshow, Inc. has been accused of intentionally stripping copyright information from RSS feeds for some nefarious purpose. In the 12-hours since this problem was uncovered, they have admitted that it was wrong, and have taken steps to correct the problem, and are continuing to make changes to correct the problem even further. During that same period of time, I have seen no evidence of any podcaster actually suffering any real economic loss from this inadvertent and admitted mistake.

However, I have seen calls for lawyers to get involved, from those that have competing economic interests or old gripes. Maybe this is everyone's war cry that doesn't practice law, and honestly strikes me as cheap self-promotion. Frankly, a minimal copyright violation in a situation like this, does not make a lawsuit. While my practice generally involves helping injured workers, and I am not a copyright attorney, it would seem that any case would require liability and damages. Here, I would also presume that there also needs to be a level of intent - not of the programmer, but from corporate directive or policy. Frankly, based on everything that I've read today, I can't imagine a lawyer that would want to get involved, and some of these bloggers that are ranting about this really need more information before they get their keyboards in a knot.  

More importantly, even if someone were to assume an 'evil intent' of Podshow, do people really think that they'd be as lame to do it in the fashion that they did? The errors were in the first couple lines of code. It took about half a second to determine that the feeds were set up wrong. Even someone as sorry as I am figured it out pretty quickly that something in the feed was off-kilter. Trust me, I think that if someone at Podshow wanted to do something 'evil' they could have done it long ago, in a far more sophisticated and talented way.

I've never met Adam Curry. In fact, we've never even had a conversation in real-time. Come to think of it, I don't think that I've ever spoken with any Podshow employee or contract-Podcaster on the phone or skype. However, I have no reason to think of any of them poorly. You need to ask yourself, why would anyone intentionally tear something down that they've helped to build? Why would they intentionally complicate the process and intentionally cause additional divisions in an already too fractured podcast community?

If you think its about advertising revenue, or trapping new ears in one site, then you're kidding yourself. Podcasting is still in its infancy. We forget this because it has become such an intergral and wonderful part of our everday life. But, the average consumer still has so many opportunities for entertainment and is bombarded by so many advertisers, that podcasting is only a drop in the bucket, and if Podshow is the one that breaks away due to its own innovation and sweat, then so be it. Certainly, the market will make these choices. However, most of the items I've read were either self-serving or disingenuous, and often both at the same time.

While I have yet to log in to Podshow's new toy due to a different bug, I really have not lost anything, either. I haven't paid anything to Podshow, and they're releasing this new site for free with the hope of advancing the art of podcasting. While I'm bummed that I've accidently become a "gamma tester" for this Podshow product, I remain excited about what the finished product is going to be when its finally working correctly.

Keep your eyes on the prize, people.

...and P+, suck this up...

Once again, the eyes of the world turn to the French. You see France has brought us great art. France has brought us great cuisine, and france has brought us wonderful additions to our culture. You know why the French can bring us art, culture and cuisine? Because the French are a bunch of lazy bums who'd rather throw some paint up on the wall, or burn some eggs, or play dress up with some ugly ass rags that people are expected to consider to be high fashion rather than going out and get a job.

 

The one thing that the French are really good at lately - is rioting. The French excel in riots. If there were an olympics of rioting, if there were a world cup of rioting the French would absolutely come in - second place. The Palenstenians are the world champs of riots, but thats a discussion for another day. Because, the French are really really good at rioting and they seem to be well on their way to be winning the award for Most Improved Rioter award. I think Dennis Rodman won in in 1996, but I'm not sure.

 

So, what's the French's problem, this week. Let me break it down for you. You see I think the media has been extremely generous about this story. Our media has turned such a blind eye on this one, that they make Katie Holmes' parents look like Ozzie and Harriet. Like Bill Buckner on 1st base in the 1986 World Series, the US Media has absolutely dropped the ball on this one.

 

You see the reason the French are rioting is because their government passed a law that would allow an employer to fire a worker for any reason during a 2 year period. Now certainly they have some sort of French laws against discrimination based on sex, race, or religion. If they don't they should. But, assuming that they do, this law essentially comes down to someone taking a job, and thinking that they are doing a good job, but if they aren't or the boss just doesn't think that they are fitting in, the boss can let them go. However, after two years of keeping their head down, doing a good job, and working to the companie's satisfaction - they get a job that is given more protection than Michael Jackson's stash of kiddie porn.

 

The real problem is that the French are socialists, and darn it to hell this hole concept of working hard to better yourself is really confusing to them. Why bust your chops when the rest of the country can collectively pick up your slack.

 

I'm as liberal as they come. I believe in individual expression, individual liberties, and minimal government intrusion. I believe what's yours is yours and what mine is mine and government should be involved in my life as Mr. Belvidere. Something in the background that if I need you I'll call you, but make sure the roads are working right and the lights stay on and the police put the bad guys away and keep the schools running. Other than that - government, I pay you reasonable taxes, you give me reasonable service.

 

However, socialism is a whole nother problem all togehter. According to the Socialist Action Website,  The root word of socialism is the world 'social' – and that's the most important thing to remember about socialism. Basically socialism is the belief that what is socially produced should be socially owned. In other words, if hundreds of people come together to produce a factory, it shouldn't then become the sole property of one person. Socialists hold that production should be based on human need, not profit.

 

You know who never agrees with socialism - the guy who owns the factory. And maybe socialism has some interesting ideas, its a philosophy that would only work for ants....maybe mormons....but definately ants.

 

And if France wants to give it a whirl for another hundred years, c'est le vie. But the problem is that the wheels are starting to fall off. When workers think of employment as an entitlement rather than a privilege then nobody wins. Just as the workers in the factory don't like it that the boss holds all of the means of production and means of capital, I think nobody in the factory wants to work with the fat, lazy, guy who's sitting in the corner having his croissant and coffee and can't be fired because some union representative says that they've got a contract guarunteeing employment.

 

More importantly, what does socialism do for  the fat lazy guy. Do you think he's ever going to get to where he needs to be in life. Let me tell you a story, a few years ago, I worked for an absolute jerk of a boss, he had me working all day Saturdays, he'd send me to Court with the worst files in the bin and then yell at me when I lost with the discovery he provided, and then after a year of fun and excitement, he let me go because he couldn't afford me any more. And at the time, I was scared, I was devistated, and I was lost. I was out of work for two months, and during that time I met my wife, got another job, and put me on the road to where I am today. It was probably the best thing that happened to me

 

So to the French, I say this - do not fear being fired. Do not fear being let go, sacked, or even given a pink slipped. You might find a new interest, a new career. It'll give you a chance to hone up on your interview skills...and oh yeah, it might even give you an excuse to take a shower.

 

The title speaks for itself - but the show got out....

Our new friend, John Taglieri, is having a sale, as he now has over 2,000 friends on My-space. Both of his amazing albums are now only $9.00 at CD-Baby. This is a really great deal.

As soon as I saw this, I immediately popped over there and ordered mine. A deal like this, the night before April Fools, is too good to believe - but its true....

• St. Christopher

Wow - I'm in shock - CBS has decided to put "Love Monkey" on hiatus. With so much crap on TV, this show was worth watching. If you hadn't yet had an opportunity to see the show, because it only had three episodes - this is a really great fictional show about the independent music scene.

If you're a fan of independent music, and small labels, you would really enjoy the show.

I don't know if it will help at this point, but please take a look at this Petition

Ok, how cool is this - The Jersey Toddshow is the first guest podcast on the Podshow Music Rewind. As a fan of this show, and all the shows that are on the Rewind, I am really honored and amazed.

Did you think a Jersey podcast wouldn't ever have this subject? Bruce Springsteen is the music of my childhood, my adolesence, and my present. If ever a singer could provide a "soundtrack" to a life, its been Bruce and the gang for me. On this particular episode, I look into the artists who have also been influenced by the "Boss". This includes:

John Romano
Scott Andrew
Colie Brice of Aeria Records
Charles Tanton
Matthew Ebel


Check out New Joisey's own Aeria records...

A very loose, very up show.... As promised, here is the letter I send out to artists, please feel free to use it as you see fit:

"Hey there... I discovered your music while playing around with Cd-baby, its some really cool stuff. I don't know if you have considered letting podcasters play your music.

There is a website called the "Podsafe Music Network" which allows artists to upload a track or two, and then podcasters can find it and play the music on their shows. The site is music.podshow.com (no www) It does not provide any ownership rights, and allows for great music, like yours, to find new ears.

In the last couple of months, I've given up completely on commercial radio and have been listening exclusively to the music that I find on podcasts. If you've never listened to a podcast, I highly recommend two, Accident Hash and the Daily Source Code

You don't need an IPod to play a podcast - just a computer! So, if you get a chance, check out music.podshow.com If you have any questions regarding podcasts, feel free to ask. In fact, I've been bitten by the bug so badly that I've started my own show - The Jersey Toddshow I'd love to be able to play your music on my show."

Also on the show I played:
Spymob
Jake Coco
Patty Hurst Shifter

While you're here, drop me a line hello...

You say you want an evolution...Today on the show I give my "State of Podcasting" address.

In 1984, I was 13 years old, and I was a man. I started making my own decisions, and as a man, I chose to do something very important. I joined the Van Halen fan club. Three months from my initial application to Geffen Records, my application was granted and I was sent an official fan club packet. This included a membership card, a patch, a headband, and a glossy folder containing pictures of Diamond Dave, Eddie, Marc Anthony, and Alex. In retrospect, those pictures, like many of my hard rock icons of the 80's now seem very, very gay.

 

            In retrospect, it was a lousy deal compared to the world today. There were no newsletters, no meetings, no discounts, and really no benefit to being a member of the fan club, other than to say that you were a member, and as best as I can remember it, at 13-years old in 1984, that was a very cool thing.

 

            At the same time, I was already a huge fan of Sammy Hagar. The Red Rocker. One-Two-Three Lock Box. VOA. I Can't Drive 55. I was about as big a moron fan for Sammy Hagar as I was for Van Halen. Yes, I even bought the HSAS album that Sammy put out as a benefit album. Oh you don't remember HSAS – Hagar Schon Aaronson and Shrieve. I was also a huge Journey fan, but that's a story for another day. But remember, if he ever hurts you, you know true love won't desert you…

 

            So when Diamond Dave went solo my sophomore year of high school and Sammy Hagar joined Van Halen, this was a fine compromise by me. I mean baseball teams trade players all the time, so why couldn't one of my favorite free agents join my favorite team, and Diamond Dave go out and create his own supergroup made up of Steve Vai and Billy Sheenan, and all could be alright in the world.

 

            I even met Diamond Dave. For eight summers, I worked at the Garden State Arts Center as a Security Guard. Yes, given that I wrestled at 105-lbs my freshman year of high school, having me working as a security guard is one of those things that could only happen in New Jersey. However, because I had a big mouth and would work 18-hour shifts, I was often assigned to sit back stage where I could listen to concerts, read a book, swipe food from the dressing rooms, and get time and a half, so long as I check the locks or made sure that if somebody got passed the ten other security guards that were stationed before my location that they didn't get past me. In otherwords, it was a perfect job.

 

            So, the night of David Lee Roth played the Garden State Arts Center I was pretty psyched up. Extreme was the opening act, and I remember they had just played that very cool song from Bill and Ted's excellent adventure. Anyway, I was back stage in the hallway, and then I saw him. Now, you know in the Panama video Dave was running around with a sword and doing karate moves and looking generally cool. Ok, lets be honest. That's not the same guy up close.

 

            He was about 5' 5', skinny, and even back then was noticeably going bald. This was not a bad ass. He came up to me and gave me his best, "Hey kid, how do you kill an hour in this town." Now please understand, this was suburban Holmdel, New Jersey, and I said what came to mind – "Mr. Roth, in an hour, you pretty much could see the whole town." He said, "I like you kid, you're alright, bose de bose de bop, biddy bop" and shuffled away, and that was my last impression of David Lee Roth

 

            Until now, you see recently David Lee Roth recently replaced Howard Stern. Now, don't get me wrong, I am not a Stern fan. In fact, I don't really think he's overly funny or creative. I think pound for pound, mano a mano, Pepsi Challenge with no preexisting impressions of skill, the Pacific Coast Hellway blows Howard out of the water on a daily basis. And frankly, if given a fair fight, I think Opie and Anthony would have cleaned his clock in New York. But again, I digress.

 

            I took a break from Podcasts this morning to check DLR out. Oh my lord, this was a travesty. David Lee Roth could not carry the little jock that Stern has. It is like watching Steve Balboni replacing Reggie Jackson, like Dick York replacing Dick Sergent on I Dream of Jeannie, it was as bad as Kevin Seal being replaced by Adam Curry on Headbangers Ball. Damm it, I was a Kevin Seal fan. Whatever happened to him. Kevin Seal – the Don Vincente to Adam Curry's Don Corleone, but again I digreess.

 

            What winner thought that this would work. David Lee Roth on the radio makes as much sense as Martha Stewart at a truck race, Pauly Shore at a MENSA meeting, and those guys from Diggnation showing up at a porn convention for straight couples.

 

            During the half hour that I listened to his show, Dave revealed himself to be what I always thought he would be a complete moron. There was nothing on his show that was vaguely coherent, interesting, or for that matter funny. Dave was as politically lucid as my cats are, and they at least read Slate magazine's web site. Ultimately, he just sounds like what he is, another aging rock star trying to milk that last drop of milk out of fame's teet. These are the same radio executives that think that Bo Bice is edgy.

 

            So, Dave, sometime soon, and I hope its very soon, its Bumpa-Deeda, Bumpa-Deeda Happy Trails To You, Until We Meet Again, and it's a shame too, because I thought the radio would've worked – because who really needs to see a 65-year old in assless chaps?

Today on the show, I was honored to play the great music of Terri Hendrix

 

Then, I talked about two stories out of New Jersey. First, the wonderful idea to put iris scanners in Freehold. Here's a link to the story
