A one hour all independent music show on Free Radio Santa Cruz 101.1 FM Streaming live at www.freakradio.org Music for musicians by musicians. Submit your music! Tuesdays 7-8pm
We were invited to be on a podcast by jl, who has a great show, Mugshots. We were proud to participate. Here is the show. Enjoy! Thanks Jl and all the great listeners. I had a great time. We look forward to working more of the many musicians who have responded already. You can tune into Mugshots yourself every week! Links to the show and schedule are posted on the right sidebar. Jl supports independent music for free, and we applaud his efforts. He is also a damn good musician.
Our last show played in the midst of a huge downpour, flooded streets, power outages, downed trees, but the studio stayed up all day and night. Unfortunately we were unable to play Shadowofnine's Hour of Music. We have rescheduled for next week. Shadowofnine puts great effort into his work. He sent a high quality file that we were unable to play with our current setup. We look forward to playing it properly next week. Its a great hour and we are proud to play it. I put a shout out to fellow musicians to post something they wanted aired. This was the result. This was something we had planned for a future show, but was thankful for the responses. It ended up a fun evening. I would like to thank fellow host Coral Reef, who in times of... what could be crisis remains calm and has been great training me as a new host.
Mostly we both want to thank Shadowofnine for his patience, and especially the musicians who posted songs as we asked for them, basically steering the majority of the show. Tadk and baphillipsiv from Icompositions. They came through as well as Vegetal and O who have been on before. We also played Teaksta and Mauro. I will be posting more links and the archive soon. From 6-7pm we played a Who Audio Documentary I will also post that here soon. We come in at 6pm and play other music related media every week prior to the show, so, tune in for the full two hours. 6-8pm
The video cast test worked but needs some work. A bit of hum and chat issues. But we were able to video the studio while we worked and hope to post some of that soon. Some folks from Icompositions are aiding me in this endeavor. I am very thankful to all of their help with our new show. We look forward to being guests on the cool podcast Wed the 14th at 5pm. Tune in! Peace Tim and Coral
People keep asking me about Blue who is on several of our pics in posts. He loves music and hangs our often on my guitar as I play. Blue is my compainion. Rescued at 1 or two days old, I have had him for 11 years. He sings and dances! Here is a short video of him. The music is my very first attempt to use Reason. My first attempt at making music without a real instrument. Ill stick to the guitar. It amazes me what others can do with such software. Blue at his new Pad
Christian Raphael just sent this out via e-mail to Coral. Were glad he passed it on. He did not ask us to post this. This we are proud to post and hope you take these words to heart. This is what part of what music and this show is about. He speaks of collaborating in a sense, as many of you do to make your music.
Good evening good people around the world. As a reminder, the purpose of Free Downloads of “Songs That Really Happened”™ is to spread positive vibes around the planet at ZERO cost to the listener. That’s right, NO COST to the listener. You will never be spammed.
This is a major 180-degree difference between what we are doing and what the major record labels are doing. We can do this for free because our overhead costs are next to nothing.
Just Imagine, if one itty bitty bit of a lyric from “Songs That Really Happened” ™ inspired someone to do something positive for someone else, and they caught the idea that it was GIVEN to them at zero cost, then slowly the over-all calibration of the human goodness quotient would rise, and we’d start a chain reaction of goodness that couldn’t be stopped. It's like people helping people helping people. Geeez, what a concept.
I am asking for your help—no I do not want money. What I want is for each of you to invite at least 10 people to join, and go out and download “Songs That Really Happened” ™. Tell them to invite at least 10 of their friends to do so too.
So far, “Songs That Really Happened” ™ have been downloaded in over 65 Countries around the world. Keep checking back on the home page of the group for new updates. The group has been running for about 6 months now.
Have a wonderful day friend, and go do something nice for a stranger (where I come from we call them a friend we’ve yet to meet). Free downloads can be had at http://www.christianraphael.com/freedownload.htm
oOo stayed up till 3 am. in Portugal and called in to thank us and that was more than kind of him. His voice on Everybody Hurts was fantastic. Carla also called in and we appreciate her and her wonderful voice. She is a gem. We will soon be expanding our time. This will allow us to take more time with artists and take more calls on air. We would have liked to have played more of everyone, but time is short. The show will evolve.
From about 6:15 till 7:00 pm Coral and I played through approx 60 Bottles of Beer while playing 99 Bottles of Beer on The Wall in dedication to Uncle D, the 56 minute collaborated version. A long time host returned from parts unknown -- were glad Uncle Denis is back. Uncle D has a Brew of the Week on his show The Cream to the Dregs. Not any ole brew will do. This is top shelf beer. The bottle collection in the studio is getting big. I have promised to not mess with his bottles if he puts me on the mailing list and gives me a schedule. "I want my umpa lumpa now!"
Here is the archive, bloopers included. Click Here To Listen.If you can't stream it, right click and choose " Save link to download the entire show as an mp3.
I would also would like to thank Coral my fellow host for reminding me to turn my mic down. :) and for training me. The archive will also appear on the right sidebar under archives permanently.
Below are a the artists from our show. We love sharing their art with you .
Formed in 2004 while relaxing on a beach in Mexico, heavily under the influence of Tecate and tequila. Heidi and Erin began writing songs, and Jessica and Sylvia joined the band in the fall of 2005. Blending 60's pop, doo-wop, and beautiful harmonies, they are a fun loving group of four girls from Oakland who play drums, guitar, bass, and keyboards and sing charmingly about being bad.
Christian Raphael spent over 20 years in Corporate America. This came to an abrupt end January 2008. While shocking and a bit “distressful” like many blessings they often come disguised as struggle.
For the past several years, Christian has been writing songs; “Songs That Really Happened”. In other words, looking back on the years gone by for writing material.
Christian says “Hey, if it happened to me then it probably has happened to someone else along the way as well. If I can write a lyric, hook, or chorus, and perform it in earnest so that someone in the audience connects to the meaning, then I’ve done my job for that show”.
“I believe that the world is a pretty small place and that we make it seem really big at times with our perceived differences and disagreements. That’s why I write “Songs That Really Happened”. Note by note, word by word, song by song, the world becomes a little bit smaller, and we all get just a little bit closer”.
For me, music is a pathway to beauty – truth – transformation – joy.
I am continually amazed by the ways music opens the door to profound connections – bridging the gap between individuals, cultures, past and present, female and male, sorrow and joy, earth and sky, mind, heart and soul. Creative expression is my medicine.

oOo is a dutch artists who now lives in the north of Portugal. A professional dancer, a provoking dragqueen, an actor (in theater), a choreographer and slightly involved in many other creative artistic projects that found his way. Although musically involved at the moment, o0o likes to call him self a creative human being instead of an artist. His never resting mind is always seeking new stuff and exploring the inspiration he gets from it then expressing it through ways that are available to him. Like doing a radio/tv show on Ustream called Victor's Vault... another medium he discovered and uses. We look forward to playing oOo. You can find his music by clicking here.
ShadowofNine has stirred , cooked and brewed some of his musical wizardry, answering the question we subtly posed in our intro “What is Music?” featuring as always all independent music as well as some of his musical soundscaping. Coral and I will be channeling ShadowofNine who will take us on a musical journey, Tuesday, Oct 13th at 7-8pm. It will prove to be a great show don't miss it!! I just came across this wonderful video while cruising through ShadowonfNine's many works. It is a collaborated piece.
We mentioned collaborations! Well here is a whopper. You can count the artists collaborators if you want. Someone write Guinness Book or World Records. This covers most every genre you can think of. Done over the internet with people in many countries.
I will be adding links to the artists names as time permits.
