2007-08-29T15:40:00.000-04:00

Episode 22 of the Bad Religion Podcast, New Maps of Hell, is now online. This episode covers everything related to New Maps of Hell. As such, I play several live songs from the album, give my impressions about the album not once but twice, and go over some of the professional reviews of the album. I also play some older songs just for kicks.

2007-07-10T08:38:00.000-04:00

After a four month delay, Episode 21 - What's In A Name? is now up.

This episode contains songs from bootlegs with odd nicknames, like Loosing My Love and Hate Yourself. For those of you still worried about New Maps of Hell spoilers, this episode doesn't contain any of them. I'll be doing a NMoH episode next, though.

Songs played in this episode:
Operation Rescue - Fuck The Government Bootleg
Sanity - Eat or Die Bootleg
Portrait of Authority - Radiation Hazard Bootleg
Tomorrow - Live and Alive Bootleg
Individuals - Eat or Die Bootleg
The Gray Race - Suffer and Die Bootleg
When - Hate Yourself Bootleg (note that this song is cutoff in the bootleg... which I realized after I recorded the episode)
Rock 'n Roll - All Our Yesterdays Bootleg
Pessimistic Lines - Cover by The Quadratics
The Empire Strikes First - Cover by The String Quartet
Part III - Go Bang Bootleg
Damned to be Free - Holy Smoke Bootleg

Also, I apologize for the bad sound quality of this episode. The microphone I usually use to record the show wasn't working for some reason. I am in the process of buying some new equipment, though, so look forward to what will hopefully be an increase in sound quality in future episodes.

Update

2007-05-08T20:07:00.000-04:00

I posted a little update episode about what I've been doing. The short episode also contains the following songs:

The Defense (Pre-Mix)
At the Mercy of Imbeciles (Live at Chicago, 1998)
Drastic Actions (Unknown Infections)

Also, make sure to check out The Answer Wiki. This will eventually be the new home of The Bad Religion Page's The Answer, the Bad Religion Encyclopedia.

Feed Problems

2007-05-04T11:32:00.000-04:00

There have been some problems with the feed in recent days, mainly due to me having some problems with my web server. I hope to have this fixed by the end of the weekend.

Busy Busy Busy

2007-04-24T13:10:00.000-04:00

Hey guys, sorry for the delay in getting the new episode out. I've been very busy with school work these past few weeks, and with finals coming up in a few weeks I will probably continue to be pretty busy. Hopefully I can find some time next week to get a new episode out.

2007-03-22T11:17:00.000-04:00

Episode 20 - Stranger Than Fiction is now up.

In this episode, I play a lot of songs from Stranger Than Fiction as well as some songs that have nothing to do with the album. I also talk about the new album, New Maps of Hell, giving my predictions on who will be the author of what songs.

Because I recorded this episode away from "the studio" and I forgot to send the track information from "the studio", I don't have specific information for all of the songs I play in this episode. I'll try to have these up by Monday.

A Little Delay

2006-09-25T15:50:00.000-04:00

There will be a little bit of a delay until the next episode is released because I have a pretty busy week ahead of me. Hopefully I'll have some time to record the episode this weekend.

I've already come up with a theme for the next episode for those wondering, and that theme is Cover Songs. So look forward to hearing Bad Religion perform other band's songs and vice versa in the next episode.

Episode 14 - Long Songs

2006-09-11T17:46:00.000-04:00

For the first time in months there is a new regular episode of the Bad Religion Podcast. That's right, all of the things you've come to love about the Bad Religion Podcast from the clear, well delivered dialogue from the host to the sly sarcasm of the Not So Bad Religion Banter section of the show are back.

This week's theme is Long Songs, those Bad Religion songs that are among the longest on each album. Here is the list of songs played in this episode:

Doin' Time - Hung Jury Pub, 1986
What Can You Do? - Hung Jury Pub, 1986
Sanity - Live at the Country Club, 1991
Faith Alone - Reverb Show
The Answer - Promise of Prosperity Bootleg
Skyscraper - Orlando, 2002
Parallel - Seattle Sessions, 1998
Dream of Unity - Solo version from a Greg Graffin California show, 2006
Shades of Truth - Maritime Hall, San Francisco, 1999
The Defense - Slims Club, San Francisco, 2003
To Another Abyss - Stephen and Johnny Piano Cover
Maybe She Will - From American Lesion CD

I also play original songs from The T4 Project and Kidneys, two side projects from members of the band.

And finally, in this episode I resample the Greg Graffin Cold as the Clay Podcast to turn it into a riveting new interview.

Episode 13 - Mike Is Dead

2006-08-31T12:19:00.000-04:00

In this (link fixed) exciting episode we find out why there hasn't been a podcast in so long. I also play Live Again, live from Graffin's solo show in Big Sur in August and the entire San Francisco Graffin Solo Show from July (thanks to Steve and Lu for that one). This episode also marks the start of my smear campaign against the Cold as the Clay "podcast".

Also, for those of you interested in playing the computer game I've been working on, head on over to Doc Entertainment and click on the link on the news page to Destination: Centauri Online.

Episode 12 - Greg Graffin Live at the TLA in Philadelphia

2006-07-22T16:03:00.000-04:00

Episode 12 is now online. This episode contains the entire Greg Graffin set at the TLA in Philadelphia on July 11, 2006. You'll also hear 'uprorious' and 'thought provoking' commentary between me and my friends BRiton and BRendan. As this is a road show, the sound quality is a little sketchy, but hopefully the content delivers. Naturally, I sound stupid as ever, but I'll pretend my poor communication skills are a result of focussing on driving. (Hint: they're not).

Anyways, the entire show can be found here. I need to find some video editting tools before I can get the video up. Don't expect anything great from the video, as I stupidly recorded it in the lowest resolution that my camera could take.

Also, I play an acoustic version of 'Gifts' that John K. Samson played during an encore during the Weakerthans section of the show.

Back From The TLA

2006-07-13T12:04:00.000-04:00

Well, I'm back from last night's show at the TLA. We got there just in time for Greg's set to start (he was the opening act, meaning he only had a 30 minute set). I got the entire set on audio, although the sound quality isn't as great as I would have liked (it turns out that it was a little too loud, so the acoustic songs sound pretty good but the non-acoustic ones aren't so good). I also have everything except for the first one and a half songs on video, which may have actually came out better audio wise. I will figure out which version has a better quality when I transfer it to the computer later today. The actual video quality won't be very good (it was just me holding my digital camera), but I'll post it for anyone who wants to see it.

Here is the set list from the show:
Don't Be Afraid to Run
Cold As The Clay
California Cotton Fields (done by Greg on acoustic guitar as opposed to the piano on the studio version)
(I think there is another song here, probably Little Sadie, but I'm not sure)
Rebel's Goodbye
Suffer
Highway of Denial
One More Hill (Swith to Piano here I think)
Watchmaker's Dial

Some of these details may not be exactly right, my memory isn't perfect. I'll update this later today when I transfer things to my comptuer and listen again. And of course, you'll get to hear all about it on the upcoming Podcast episode (plus plenty of "bonus material" of my friends and I talking on the drive to and from the show). That episode will likely be up this weekend, although it could take a little longer because there is a lot of editting to do.

As for the other bands at the show, The New Amsterdams weren't very good. For those who have never heard of the band, they're the acoustic offshoot of The Get Up Kids, who, IMO, were a better band. The New Amsterdams played one or two decent songs, but overall they were pretty "samey" and nothing really stood out. It would have been nice for them to be the opening act so that Graffin could have had 15 more minutes to play some more acoustic Bad Religion numbers (he only did Suffer, despite saying "here are a few songs from my other band", implying that he was at least going to do more than one).

The Weakerthans, though, had a very awesome set. This is my second time seeing the band, and I've also heard a live recording of them, so it was nice to hear them throw in three new songs from their upcoming album. I'm not real sure what I think about these new songs, they're slightly different in subject matter than Samson's earlier songs in that they seem a little more overtly political (much like One Great City). What was really cool about the set was that when Samson came back for the encore he took a request to play "Gifts" for the 15 people in the venue who recognized it. The song appeared on Propagandhi's "Less Talk, More Rock" album but not on subsequent Weakerthan's albums like "Anchorless" did.

Overall it was a pretty good night, I just wish that Graffin played longer or at the very least there was a better second band than The New Amsterdams.

Headin' Out

2006-07-12T15:56:00.000-04:00

In just a few short hours I will be heading out to the TLA for the Greg Graffin and Weakerthans show. I'll have a preliminary review of the show here today or tomorrow, and the next episode will be up (with songs from the show) as soon as I get around to editting it.

Episode 11 - Into and Out of the Unknown

2006-07-11T07:55:00.000-04:00

Episode 11 of the Bad Religion Podcast is now posted. This episode, called "Into and Out of the Unknown", focuses on Into the Unknown and Back to the Known.

About Damn Time

2006-06-28T13:42:00.000-04:00

After about 5 attempts, I finally got the podcast past the iTunes Free Speech Haters (also known as the iTunes Podcast Rejection Board). That means that you can now (or at least in a few hours) can find the podcast on iTunes and subscribe through there without having to do any pesky manual addition.

Episode 9: The New America Episode

2006-06-07T21:02:00.000-04:00

Episode 9 has been posted. This week's episode is devoted to songs from The New America. I also have a chat with James, the creator of The Great Star Wars Synchronization Project who recently tried to find out if various Bad Religion albums synched up with the Star Wars films like Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon does with The Wizard of Oz.

I know I said I'd link to The New America video, but I can't find it at the moment. Here is the link to that weird Japanese interview, though.

Feed Update and Next Episode

2006-05-13T12:49:00.000-04:00

I realized that I had not updated the second feed for the podcast, so some of the people weren't getting the latest episode. That should be fixed now.

Also, the next episode will probably be out around Friday.

Episode 7 - The Jay Bentley Interview Episode

2006-05-06T15:01:00.000-04:00

Episode 7 is now up. It features, as promised, a 50 minute interview with Jay Bentley. I ask him about the new record, plans for new tours, the origin of some songs, if they have any unreleased songs, if they've played some of the more unpopular songs live, how the setlists get made, and lots of other questions.

The song also features three live songs:
Pity - Live From 1982
Greg's New Song - Live From 1982
News From The Front - Live From 1999

Next episode will go back to the traditional Bad Religion Podcast episode format.

Links Are Working Again

2006-05-05T11:11:00.000-04:00

I was able to resolve the problem I was having with my DNS, so the links to the podcast feed and individual episodes should be working again.

Also, if you are using iTunes you may need to Right Click on the Podcast and hit "Update Podcast" in order to fix the feed and continue downloads as usual. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Episode Links Currenlty Not Working

2006-05-04T21:49:00.000-04:00

If you're having trouble with the episodes and the links, it's because my domain name is currently expired. I hope to have this renewed by tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Jay Bentley Interview Recorded

2006-05-03T20:26:00.000-04:00

I had a chance to conduct about a 50 minute interview with Jay Bentley over the phone today. I still need to edit it (our voice volume levels are not matched very well due to the crappy hardware I was using to record it), so it isn't ready qutie yet. The plan will be to release it as a Podcast Episode this weekend (hopefully Friday), along with a few songs. Then it will be back to a normal episode in two week's time.

Video Links

I also play some of the Greg Hetson interview on indie 103 fm from last week, and a few clips of standards songs that will be appearing on Cold As The Clay.

Whoops

2006-04-04T10:00:00.000-04:00

Looks like I forgot to edit in the theme this week. Well, I guess this gives everyone somethign to be excited for in the next episode.

Episode 5 Out Now

2006-04-04T00:19:00.000-04:00

Episode 5 of the podcast is now out. As I explain in the podcast, this episode is shorter than usual and almost all music because I've been pretty busy. Hopefully for the next episode I'll have the content that you guys are more accustomed to.

Also, I'd like to thank Velocity Eleven for coming up with the theme for the Podcast.

Here are the songs featured in this episode:
Moonshine Whiskey
Parade of the Horribles (Circle Jerks Cover)
Marked (Demo by Mr. Brett)
Generator (Cover By The Chimpunks)
Anxiety (Demo By Greg Graffin)
Follow The Leader
Virginia's Bloody Soil (Greg Graffin)
Strawberry Girl (Seeing Eye Gods)

Episode 5 Tomorrow

2006-04-03T23:04:00.000-04:00

Episode 5 has been pretty much recorded, I'm just fixing a few things up. It will be posted tomorrow.

Episode 5 Will Be Released Next Week

2006-03-22T18:49:00.000-05:00

Sorry for anyone expecting an episode today, there will not be another one until next week (and probably later in the week). I am currently on spring break and do not have my desktop computer with me, meaning that I do not have the files or the equipment I need to record an episode. I think I'll try to do another mini-episode in between now and when I do the next complete episode, so stay tuned for that.

Episode 4A

2006-03-13T12:31:00.000-05:00

So I realized that I screwed up the editing in Episode 4 (man were there a lot of problems with this episode) and as a result Fertile Crescent was only played for a few seconds. As a result, I have posted Episode 4A which features the complete version of Fertile Crescent, along with Heaven is Falling also from New World Order and Cease by Generator.

Once again, sorry for all of the problems with Episode 4.

Episode 4: The Generator Episode - Out Now! Audio Fixed As Well

2006-03-12T22:53:00.000-05:00

Sorry for the audio problems for those of you who downloaded the episode last night. These should be fixed now, and your podcatching program should have automatically downloaded the fixed episode. If not, make sure to reply saying so. You can also download the fixed episode in the link below.

-----

Episode 4, the Generator Episode, is finally complete. You can download it here. This is the longest episode yet, clocking in at over 50 minutes. There's lots of content in this episode, including an interview I did a few weeks ago with Fiette, the bassist from the Bad Religion Tribute Band Generator. The whole podcast is deovted to the Generator album, and I play lots of songs of it.

Songs Featured:
Fertile Crescent (From New World Order 7 Inch)
God Rest Ye Jerry Mentlemen (Xmas Song)
Two Babies In The Dark (Live From Only Entertainment)
Too Much To Ask (Live From Radiation Hazard)
Bad Religion (Parody by Ratguy)
Generator (Live Festival Version From Martime Hall)
Only Entertainment (Live From Only Entertainment)

Plus I have a review of Live at the Palladium and a bunch of other content.

Episode 4 Delay

2006-03-08T18:28:00.000-05:00

Sorry everyone, but I am unable to get episode 4 released today. First off, I have yet to get my hands on a copy of Live at the Palladium because the two stores that I had a chance to go to didn't have it in (I am now waiting for an Amazon shipment to come in). Also, I have been very busy this week with school work, so I haven't had much of a chance to record the episode.

I think I should be able to have the episode out by Friday. Thanks for waiting!

Feed Fix

2006-03-01T17:27:00.000-05:00

For some odd reason, one of the podcast feeds wasn't updating, so a lot of you probably didn't get the last two episodes automatically. I have subsequently updated that feed, and everything should be working now.

If you are subscribed and still are not getting episodes 2 and 3, please be sure to let me know.

Episode 3 - "The Videogame Episode" - Out Now

2006-02-22T22:17:00.000-05:00

Episode 3 is finally finished. I'm not sure if I was able to completely get the audio volume leveled out, so e-mail me if there are any problems.

This episode covers most of Bad Religion songs featured in videogames. I also do a feature on Greg Heston, and the webcam contreversy a few months ago.

Songs Featured In This Episode:
Hear It - Live in Gothenberg, 1999.
Big Bang - Live from We're Not The Damned, 1989.
You - Demo, recorded before the release of No Control.
Empty Causes - Live in London 1996.

Frogger - Live From Delerium of Disorder Bootleg.
No Direction - Live At Santa Monica, 1999.
I Love My Computer - Live At the Farmclub, 1999-ish.
Inner Logic - Live At Tuxedo Junction, 1996.

Here is the link to the Live at the Palldium Trailer.

Next Episode

2006-02-13T19:23:00.000-05:00

Episode 3 will be coming out not this Wednesday but next Wednesday. From here on out, the Podcasts will usually be released on a biweekly (or in more Graffinesque terminology, fortnightly) basis. This will give me more time to get content into the episodes and more time for you guys to submit your comments.

I also think that I am having trouble with the feed for some locations. I know that the Podcast Alley feed doesn't seem to be updating, so I have to investigate that.

Remember, please send me comments on what your favorite Bad Religion song or songs are.

Episode 2 Out Now!

2006-02-08T12:49:00.000-05:00

The second episode of the Bad Religion podcast is out now! You can find the direct link here. If you are subscribed and you're having problems with the feed make to sure to e-mail me. I worked harder on editting and producing this episode, so the volume should be more normalized (no more quiet talking and very loud music) and there are less talking screw ups. I realize that there are still a lot of issues with popping and microphone glitches, and I hope to get those fixed by next episode.

Episode Description:
Along The Way - Live From the Hell On Earth Bootleg circa 1984
Analysis of Along The Way
Pretenders - New America B-Side
News - Graffin's New Solo Project, The New Album
Part 3 - Live At Coney Island High 1997
History Section - Billy
Billy Gnosis - From Into the Unknown
Not So Bad Religion Banter - "Cheap Seats"
Delirium of Disorder - Cover By Stranded
Listener Responses About First Bad Religion Experience
Part 2 of Interview From Warped Tour circa 1999
Billy - Live In 1993
Epiphany - Live at the HOB Show in 2002

Too Hot For iTunes

2006-02-03T14:31:00.000-05:00

Well, iTunes sent me a section rejection letter about the podcast. I guess they're not too keen on having bands on their Music Store on freely available podcasts. I'm going to try to get in contact with someone from the band to see if they would be willing to grant me official permission to do such a show, so that may resolve it.

In the mean time, you can still manually add the podcast to iTunes. It will act exactly like a normal podcast subscription, you just need to set up slightly differently:

Open up iTunes and then click on Podcasts in the left menu.
Go to Advanced in the menu bar and then click on Add Podcast Subscription.
Type: http://www.doc-ent.com/brp/britunespodcast.xml into the text box that comes up.
Hit OK.

You will now be subscribed to the podcast through iTunes.

In the meantime, I'll try to get the podcast on some other podcast listing sites soon.

Audio Issues

2006-02-02T18:22:00.000-05:00

A few people have made some comments about the audio in the first show. I realize that the audio wasn't up to what it should be, and I'm working to address this problem in the next podcast (which will probably be on Wednesday). Things like my voice being much lower than the sound level for the songs and the background loop in the news being too loud will be fixed. I also will try to minimize the various reading screwups that were in this podcast.

Anyways, I'd like to thank everyone who took some time to comment on the podcast. Hopefully there will be many more listeners once I eventually get it up on iTunes (I don't think they liked the fact that I mentioned "Fuck Armagedon: This Is Hell" in the title).

Episode 1 Now Up!

2006-02-01T14:15:00.000-05:00

I have finished Episode 1 of the Bad Religion Podcast. You can find the link here. You can subscribe to the RSS feed here and you can also subscribe soon on iTunes, Yahoo Podcasts and several other podcasting sites.

The first episode features the following songs:
Fuck Armagedeon: This Is Hell - Live At the Tuxedo Junction in 1996
Losing Generation - From the album Into the Unknown
Beyond Electric Dreams - Live In 2004
Runnin' Fast - Solo song by Greg Graffin
Tom Dooley - Solo song by Greg Graffin
Tested - Live at Coney Island High in 1997

The episode also features an Interview from the late 1990's when the band was on the Warped Tour before releasing The New America.

In addition, there is also a small section about the early solo career of Greg Graffin, although this will be expanded on in future episodes.

I also share my first experience with Bad Religion and I encourage anyone listening to share theirs. Simply post a comment to this post, or send an e-mail to brpodcast@gmail.com with an attached audio file (preferably MP3) and I will make sure to play it in the next episode.

The next episode will be out two weeks from today (Wednesday February 15th). However, expect some news posts on this site in the meantime.
