Come out to The North Dubliner every Sunday from 8-11PM for open mic nite! I gotta say, this week’s recording isn’t my finest work. I pushed the levels on the line to the recorder way to far and a lot of this show sounds like crap. But hey, at least the show is only two hours, instead of the usual three! Tell all your friends to bring themselves to open mic and play/listen to some great music! Also, if you get any good photos from open mic nite, and would like to have them posted here, send them to me! brian@brianspotts.com

Quotes of the Evening

Come out to The North Dubliner every Sunday from 8-11PM for open mic nite! I like to think that after gigging several times a week for the last 5 years or so, that I’ve seen just about everything. I’ve had drunk dudes stand beside me during an entire song, singing the lyrics to the song they WANTED me to play. I’ve seen drunk girls (notice a theme here?) trip on our floor monitors, and come crashing head-over-heels onto the stage, laughing the whole way down. Nothing could prepare me for the environmental phenomenon we experienced this week at Open Mic.

From what I’ve read, basically what happens is that occasionally unshielded guitar cables can pick up short-wave radio transmissions, then amplifying said signals through the PA. You can hear this at the very beginning of the first recording of the night, and it brought One Mile Final’s original, “Earthquake” to a screeching halt (around minute 28 of track 1, careful, it’s loud). Bizarre. I originally thought it was air traffic control, but listening to it again, it definitely wasn’t aviation communication (I’m a private pilot. N.B.D.). Fortunately, it eventually stopped, and the rest of the night went off without a hitch.

Something interesting always happens at open mic! Also, I’m typing this post with raw fingers, because Chase and I switched spots during the second set (track 2) and I slap-de-bass! Tell all your friends to bring themselves to open mic and play/listen to some great music!

Come out to The North Dubliner every Sunday from 8-11PM for open mic nite! If you’re not coming out to open mic, you’re not only missing the best music your mony can buy (it’s free), but you’re missing some solid inter-song comedy, provided mostly by yours truly. There’s a general don’t-give-a-shit attitude on Sunday’s and personally, I think it makes for great music! Tell all your friends to bring themselves to open mic and play/listen to some great music! Also, if you get any good photos from open mic nite, and would like to have them posted here, send them to me! brian@brianspotts.com

Come out to The North Dubliner every Sunday from 8-11PM for open mic nite! I’m happy to announce that NOT A SINGLE WHISKEY was spilled on any equipment this week! Impressive. Also, we played some fresh new songs, tried out some fancy headphones, ran out of 9V batteries, and played acoustic guitar with electric guitar strings! Tell all your friends to bring themselves to open mic and play/listen to some great music! Also, if you get any good photos from open mic nite, and would like to have them posted here, send them to me! brian@brianspotts.com

Quotes of the Evening

We didn’t say anything that funny this week.
SCRATCH THAT! How about this: “I’m not being a sour-puss! The only sour-puss I’ve been around tonight was your mom’s!”

Come out to The North Dubliner every Sunday from 8-11PM for open mic nite! We had a good time keeping warm inside this Sunday, although I believe we were occupying the space for a new pool table, so next time it gets “cold”, we’ll need to find another location (on top of pool table?). Anywhoo, we had an open mic virgin (Justin) come in a drop some knowledge on us, as well as a few S.N.O.M. regulars! Tell all your friends to bring themselves to open mic and play/listen to some great music!
