Branches in an analogy that came to me after spending a night in the Nevada dessert with nothing on except my forest green Crocs.

This info can help you kick @ss as you start your day. Or at least make you think you can.
This podcast is taken over by the Count. He takes you along in search of the spirits that exist in the depths of an old building. This is very spooky stuff.
I'm feeling very Folk-eee. That's what happens when you go guitar shopping. I also drop my guard and record some guitar and vocals without editing anything and then hit Publish. Seriously. Who does that?
Peter Mansfridge reports about the missing Dustbin lid. I talk about when you could find the lyrics to your favourite songs in the sleeves of your records. Those where the days my friend.
Mankind has advanced beyond anything we could have ever imagined and yet one thing still remains seemingly impossible ... the perfect shave. I'm still looking myself but in the podcast I talk about a system with backwards logic that works pretty good for me.
In this episode we touch upon important social topics like the need to be "liked", smartphone addictions and how one day robots will kill us all and take over the planet.
I didn't know you could do "this" to the beat of the music. Also, an entertaining night ahead.
What do you listen to when you drive. I reveal all and I must say it isn't pretty. Also, I talk about our last tribute artist show.
Why on earth do we always think of the worst by default? No, seriously. I want to know.
The singer from the group Trio sings a classic. I sang at a Halloween Benefit. I make a friendly video for a birthday party.
Here is a silly demonstration of how certain types of music influence my creative juices. I use the ATR2100 in Adobe Audition to record todays show with a dash of Bach.
I met an ancestor of Bela Lugosi the other day. Just listen to the show and it should make sense.
I take a road trip to pick up some valuable cargo with my buddy Dean. I am giddy as heck.
As an experiment I use a Sony IC recorder. The results turned out pretty good. I touched up the recording in Audition.

The Yogi is back with some thoughts on getting older and our man on the street #jeffthompson has a special report.
I got to spend the morning learning and working with a popular Canadian Viner @Brittlestar. This sort of work gives me energy. It also inspired me.
For a guy like me that likes to imitate people and make all sorts of crazy sounds, having a slightly soar throat that changes my voice is just fine with me. It allows me to experiment.
What have I got myself into? Today I talk about something that has me scared. But it's a good thing.
The workers in my body took a break to listened to a special announcement. For the last 4 years or so I have been a shift worker. That part of my life ended with my last 12 hour shift this morning. Listen in to the announcement.

We did it. We finished the challenge. Not a perfect record mind you, but pretty darn close. It was fun. The take-away. I love recording. But you probably already knew that.
AudioJo 30 #AudioBlo
The battle isn't fought with the outside, it is first fought within. Creative people have these... "voices". Sometimes it's inspiration but often times it's something else.

This recently found record is a public service announcement for children from sometime in the late 40's or early 50's.

When you get the house to yourself you bring the iPad and the Yeti mic into the living room and record using the Bossjock App. Then You hit Upload and then put a piece of artwork in the post. Then you think up a title that is accurate but not too clever. After that you write a description. Finally choose your category. Ok I lied. You still have to hit the publish button.

A story of a man who tries to turn back the hands of time and instead turns himself into something not even science can explain.

Evon makes his cooking show return after being cancelled yet again with another network. Today he is frying up perogies and onions.

Here is a one of the most beautiful love songs ever in the style of Elvis Presley I did for someone.
How does Europe for the whole family sound? My kids have never been on a plane before so I figure if they can take 11.5 hours the first time, the rest of their lives flying will be a piece of cake.

I learned the best definition of a story from Jeffrey Alan Schechter ... who admittedly learned it from someone else.
Firstly I want to thank the academy for deciding to feature my AudioBoo. It was cool to wake up to an email saying a Boo of mine has been chosen to be feature. I would have featured a better piece of work of mine however. I am thrilled none the less.
During today Podcast I share why I didn't record yesterday and a new person I started following on Vine. If you do creative work I think you should follow him too. He will lift you up like the little blue pill.

We continue the Interview with Legends Series that talks about the behind the scenes of a tribute artist production.

Come for a ride along with the Yogi and reminisce the last few decades of music as he spends the last hours in his rented vehicle.
It was 1977 and I was waiting for my mom in the car as she ran into Safeway to get something. The song Moody Blue came on. It sticks in my head because I am pretty sure the DJ said it was the first single since his death. Being 9 years old I tried understanding what was going on. All sorts of calculations and rationalizations were happening in my mind. It didn't matter in the end. I just loved the sound of his voice. Here is another one-take of a song for you. Moody Blue.

It was more shopping today. Nothing exciting there. Last night a car horn that sounded a lot like ours went off around 12:30 am. I woke us up. We couldn't see our van from the 7th story window. So we couldn't confirm we were the guilty party. Produced on the iPad with #BossJockApp
