Hello! This is Mike Matthews taking the bus to THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH!
This week we have a very special guest all the way from England named Eliza
Doolittle. Her debut album has gone platinum over there and now it's being
released here in the States! We'll talk to her and find out interesting
tidbits you can't find out anywhere else with a singer who is constantly
honored on "you tube" in her home country. Her album comes out here on
March 22nd.
I can not believe gas prices! They're blaming it on Libya but reports say
most of their gas doesn't go to us but to Europe. I think they blame
anything to crank the prices up. Ow, I hurt my finger, crank gas prices
up. Do my bidding!
People were protesting FOX news in Wisconsin while they were there covering
the union issues going on. Now can we all get together and protest
EVERYTHING that's on TV? It's all crap! I am forcing myself to watch the
Oscar's this weekend, but then, that's it! Amazon's competing with Netflix
now with their special streaming movies feature. I never have to watch TV
again!
Next week we'll feature some of the "unheard" bits of my interview with
singer/songwriter Ben Wilkins. We'll also hear from the cafe characters
including Chely Shoehart, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, Benita the Rodeo
Queen, Floyd the Floorman, Valentino the Parking Attendant, Bison Bentley,
The Brewmaster, and John Boehner. I know how much you miss them!
So here's EFFIZODE NUMBER 20! Yayyy! I've finally produced a podcast that
has gone to TWENTY!!! I'm so happy! Listen to the Eliza interview and find
out about my recent "open mic" (the first one I've done in over FIVE
YEARS!!!). Click on the link below to hear the podcast...

THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH effizode 19!
Hi, this is Mike Matthews, boarding my pimped out bus that takes us to THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH! This week we'll talk to a fun and interesting singer/songwriter named Tristen who has a lot to say about DIY album making and creating her own unique style. We're gonna hear some of her songs and get up close and personal with her next as we travel into THE LAST PLACE ON EARTH...insert slogan here.

Hi, this is Mike Matthews, boarding my pimped out bus that takes us to THE
LAST PLACE ON EARTH! This week we'll talk to a fun and interesting
singer/songwriter named Tristen who has a lot to say about DIY album making
and creating her own unique style. We're gonna hear some of her songs and
get up close and personal with her next as we travel into THE LAST PLACE ON
EARTH...insert slogan here.
So all of a sudden I had a bunch of cool people to interview. That does not
mean, however, that you'll never hear from The Disgruntled Fiddle Player,
Benita the Rodeo Queen, or Chely Shoehart Our 18 Year Old Gift Shop
Supervisor ever again. They are patiently waiting in the wings along with
Valentino the Parking Attendant, Bison Bentley, Floyd the Floor Man, The
Brewmaster, and John Bohner.
To those of you new to the show, thanks for tuning in. I believe you can
find a lot more interesting things to listen to in the world of podcasts
versus commercial radio which is the most boring tripe ever. Sure, if you
love to hear Katy Perry's "singing" piledriven into your ears repeatedly
than you can keep following the beat of a worn-out, past-its-prime drum. If
you really want to spark your imagination and learn something you never knew
before, listen to podcasts. Preferably by independent thinking people who
independently produce their own shows. I am trying to do that with this
show, so knowing you tuned in really makes me happy.
What else makes me happy? Not listening to Katy Perry's "shrill as hill"
voice. Seriously, I lived through Alanis. I don't need an updated
version. Putting a barbie doll on A's head doesn't make her any more
palatable. At least Alanis wasn't trying to be sexy. She was just singing
her particular style and selling it with just her voice and guts. Katy is
all about image and whipped cream flying out of...well...places on her
person.
But enough of that and I hope I didn't offend you, no matter where your
musical taste might lean. Here is where you can hear the latest from THE
LAST PLACE ON EARTH.

IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY! FLOWERS AND CUPIDS ABOUND!
So V day snuck up on us on a Monday this year. That means we get to start off the week with a holiday that by the end of the week we'll have completely forgotten what all the advertisements were for. No, it's not a holiday you get off from work. Yes, it's one that as a male you should remember or you might look a little insensitive. You should find many, many ways to show the one you love that you love them, not just on a mid-February holiday. Yet, this is one day you shouldn't let go by.

Remember that Gary Marshall movie that came out last year with the same
name? Seeing "No Strings Attached" made me think I was watching a
continuation of that movie. Maybe it's because Ashton was in both of them.
And he plays the same character in every movie. And he'll probably be in
another romantic movie about the same time again next year and I'll think
that movie is a continuation of those other one's.
Enjoy the hearts and flowers and cupids and candies and the color red and
all its variations splashed everywhere. By Tuesday you'll be back to
wondering how fast the weekend will get here.
