Sometimes the Bear Eats You: Episode Six

“It’s time to ring in the new with yet another perfectly cromulent episode of Sometimes the Bear Eats You! Oh, what a year it will be. We’re bringing you all new podcast shenanigans like only Aquabearlegion.com can. Ohio-born music sensation Hutz bestows upon us a wonderful new theme song. Noah and Matthu watch a horror flick. Freddy murders some teens. Kris chats about Akron with multi-instrument powerhouse Sean Djuricic of Interfuse, Tight Whips and National Suicide Day. Noah highlights some of his favorite Akron haunts. Kris talks to everyone’s favorite Foreign Legionnaire about his space rock opera’s debut and plans for future performances. Then the episode is pretty much done. Suck it, 2011. You’re dead to me now. The songs featured in this episode are “Full Blown” by Hutz, ”I had to eat an entire joint because my wife is a horrible driver” by Concordia Discors, ”My… That’s a Very Nice Handbag” by Interfuse, ”Hessian Expressions” by The All Golden, “Song of Condemnation” by Rick Dodgson and ”waistdeep in the meltdown” by Kid Panda Hands.” Sometimes the Bear Eats You: Episode Six

Well, Brian decided it was finally time to make his own podcast and he is excited to present the results of the first episode of The Moose Is Loose! This podcast will focus on Ohio music and is named after the first ever compilation project he put together in 2003 (which you can download for FREE here). This episode showcases some of Brian’s favorite songs from the Aquabear online compilations and features music from The Franchise, The Makebelieves, Dragline Brothers, We March, Mike Elliott, Machine Go Boom, Washout Corporation, Neo Nothing, Casual Future, The Math Squad, Casiotone Orchestra, Men of Gentle Birth, Blackark, Matt Collander, and Small Object a. Not much talking in this one (Brian is still perfecting his smooth NPR voice) but you will get to hear our host babble a bit about his history with Ohio music. The first of many episodes to come.

Sometimes the Bear Eats You: Episode Five

Hello again, internet! We’ve missed you so. In this very special fifth episode of Sometimes the Bear Eats You we focus our undivided attention toward our great state’s capital city. That’s right! It’s all Columbus all the time. No foolin’ this time. Your hosts Noah and Kris discuss jam bands, White Castle and semen. Noah interviews the talented Josh James of Joshua P. James and the Paper Planes fame. Also, we introduce a new segment as The Angry Ohioan joins us for the first time with a bit of political commentary. All this and plenty of great tunes exclusively from Columbus-based bands. Don’t forget to post comments listing your top three places to eat in Columbus. Now get to listening! Sometimes the Bear Eats You: Episode Five

STBEY is back after a brief delay with a fourth episode that manages to be equal parts raucous and somber. This time we focus on Ohio’s current capital city, Columbus! Listen to the rockin’ sounds of Wheels on Fire (even though they’re from Athens), Super Desserts and Narrow and the Brights. Laugh at three goons as special guest Dave Obenour joins us to discuss one of Noah’s top ten favorite albums. Shake your head in despair as Kris fails to accurately describe how to make Noah’s signature drink: The Rolling DDT. You know what, here’s the recipe for everyone out there who wants to taste the magic. Mix in a Pint Glass: Ice (to taste) 3 shots of Vodka (or 3 fingers if you wanna get loco) 10 oz. of Tonic Water Splash of Grape Soda (Welch’s, Crush, or a nice Dr. Brown’s) 1 shot of Grenadine Mix with a swizzle stick, and garnish with a fresh orange slice. Have a couple of those beasts, then listen to the podcast. I assume it’s much more enjoyable when one is three sheets to the wind. Click below to listen. Sometimes the Bear Eats You: Episode Four

We’re back with a bigger, badder, bolder episode three! Noah and Kris take on the Queen City in this edition of Sometimes the Bear Eats You (which we have affectionately dubbed STBEY and pronounce “stebby”). All questions, or at least the following four, will be answered. Who won Noah’s exclusive loop tape by correctly answering Episode Deux’s homework question? What is the all time greatest action flick one-liner? Who would win in a battle of the Collinses? What happened with the whole Kickstarter fundraising campaign? We also play some great tunes from Cincy bands and interview The Joint Chiefs of Rap’s Big Man. Ha ha! Be sure to grab the Joint Chiefs album for free right here. It’s free, dammit. The Aquabear loves free music! Sometimes the Bear Eats You: Episode Three
