Cara's Basement - The Fold

The Fold

Cara's Basement

play

02/11/10 • 14 min

Dan Castady is the lead singer of The Fold and a dead-ringer for actor Justin Long. It was a pleasure talking with Dan about the amazing recent Miley Cyrus homage (sounds better than parody) The Fold released. The song is so great and the video is even better. Watch it on youtube. And better yet...head to their website www.TheFoldRock.com to see many other great video's from The Fold like "I'm With Coco" (for us Conan fans!) to a halarious follow-up to "Every Band In The USA" involving a lawsuit...

The Fold will play at The Bottom Lounge in Chicago Friday, February 12, 2010. And they will be at the Apple Store in Michigan Avenue, Chicago on March 21, 2010 (we talk about that during this conversation).

Cara's Basement - Michael Buble'

Michael Buble'

Cara's Basement

play

09/23/09 • 9 min

Michael Buble' has sold 22,000,000 albums (so far) worldwide. His songs capture romance, heartache, love and every other emotion that goes along with any relationship you've ever been in. His song "Everything" is a very popular first-dance song at weddings. And his live performances are unreal.

It was an honor to be the very first radio personality in the USA to speak on the phone with Michael Buble' (for 101.9 WTMX "The Mix" in Chicago,IL) as his third album "Crazy Love" is just about to be released. The album was initially supposed to be released on October 13, but due to fan demand the album will now be released 4 days prior (October 9). You can pre-order it now. An even bigger honor was having him serenade me...I still have the goosebumps!

In February, 2008 comedian Lee Camp was asked to appear on Fox News as a "lefty" comedian vs. a "righty" during a live segment. He agreed to do it figuring he'd have to somehow speak his mind - and he sure did! The video of his appearance was viewed on youtube a half a million times within a day of his appearance. You'll hear the clip in the beginning and again at the end of this episode.Watch Lee Camp On YouTubeVisit www.LeeCamp.net
