AntiSocial Commentary With Theadora Kelly

Today's episode is simple. I recorded a new demo yesterday and I am going to play it for you on the show today.  It's rough, it's not mixed or edited, and there are apparent noise issues, but it's raw, it's real, its me. I wanted to write a song that captured a very tender and vulnerable mood. It is easy to be angry and scream, but exposing your deepest vulnerabilities in songwriting is a whole other thing. It takes bravery to show a vulnerable side, it takes a certain level of self acceptance and fearlessness to expose your soul to the world. However, the experience was quietly transformation for me in writing a song like this.  It was a smooth process. Ronald E. King (accompaniment) and I really jived together as we often do and it was a wonderful moment, as it always is when a song comes together so effortlessly.  This song is a long way from being a song still, and has many fine tunings and evolutions before I discover it's true personality. However, I think there is something magical about this recording and wanted to share this moment.

AntiSocial Commentary Episode # 11 Paying for Online Ads: Is It Worth It? Well... ...You will have to listen to find out. In this episode I break down the cost per payoff of online advertising on the most popular social media sites We look at the results from testing these different paid ad methods,  the different variable rates, such as the cost per click, traffic, page views, or as Facebook prefers to call it "impressions." I break down the nitty gritty of this new "thing" social networking companies are jumping on to give you results in cold hard data with tried and tested evaluations of some of the top methods in paid ads available today. We look at Facebook Promoted Posts, Google AdWords, Twitter, Linked in and paid Reverbnation ad campaigns to break down their effectiveness. I also share my own personal methods of promotion and the things that seem to work well for me that might be helpful to you. Also, we take a peek at the inner workings of traffic and the data behind it, to talk about what you should be looking at and why. So, is it worth it to pay for online advertising to get your brand out there? You will have to tune in to this super geeked out episode of AntiSocial Commentary find out...

Anti-Social Commentary Episode # 10  Seattle Punk - Neutralboy - Shawn Durand - 13 Scars Shawn Durand of the high energy variety punk band, "13 Scars"  and his pal Neutralboy chat with me following the Punk Rock Bowling Event in Nevada over the weekend. http://www.reverbnation.com/13scars https://www.facebook.com/pages/NEUTRALBOY/230386542316 Strange Reaction lives up to it's name with this review that almost takes a huge dump on their head, then sucks it back up suddenly... I dunno how else to explain it,  read it for yourself http://strangereaction.com/2013/04/05/13-scars-13-scars/ I say they are awesome, I saw em live, they are super fun. 13 Scars were on tour from Seattle when we played with them, at The La Habra 300 Bowl, which I decided is offically my favorite venue and promoter, Kevin Mendoza. Always a great show. They were really cool people, I felt like we were old friends after a while. We will definitely be planning a Seattle Tour in the near future. I've never been to Seattle so I imagine it through the eyes of a young Nirvana fan, after "Smells Like Teen Spirit" blew up. I remember the first time they played that song ever. I was listening to Rodney On The Roq I believe. My whole class had just recently discovered Love Line and we would listen to Rodney while waiting for the show to start. Beofre Nirvana'd debut, It was announced that this, was indeed, the world premiere of this band no one had ever heard of before. I couldnt avoid  those deoderant commercials, with the campaign set to "BRAINWASH." It instantly spoke to everyone. Everyone fell in love with this song and this band, that no one had ever really heard of, until that day. I started listening to the radio a lot more after that. And they lived happily ever after...

Anti-Social Commentary Episode # 9 The ongoing saga continues, the pay-to-play debate goes on. Today, we have an expert in the field, a man who has been around the block and back more than a few times, and lived to tell the tale. We talk about how Disney almost screwed him in the pie hole, leading to legal battles in song licensing hell, ultimately winning a small victory for musician kind. The Maxies, the most awesomest band from Greenland, who have shared the stage with the likes of Reel Big Fish, played festivals such as Vans Warped Tour and beyond. I pick the brain of Matt Phuzz and ask him what the secret is to a band's upward mobility. We discuss how to cultivate a career that will lead to bigger and better shows without EVER once falling into the pay-to-play trap. Gather round kiddies, listen up. You could learn a thing or two here... More of The Maxies here: www.reverbnation.com/themaxiesgreenland

This is YOUR platform to share your opinion, debate issues and comment on the things society thinks is impolite to discuss. Mainstream media keeps us dumb and "polite society" stifles the issues we should be talking about. The AntiSocialite Says " *FU*K THAT SH*T... Speak your mind on AntiSocial Commentary." *Note: there was a problem with the Blog Talk call in system last week, where callers couldnt hear me but I could hear them when I put them on the air. So hopefully they fixed it by Friday.

Anti-Social Commentary Episode # 8  Anti-Social Commentary Episode # 8   Can you identify a scam when it comes your way? Are you sure? Are you absolutely positive you can recognize a music industry red flag?   I did this week's podcast a bit early because I felt I owed you something of value where I am openly expressing my opinion, then get to hear yours.    So I put together this episode with some valuable information on identifying scams and the most common red flags that con-artists use to prey on you, using your insecurities and anxieties as a musician against you.   You might think you know, but just to be sure, you might want to listen up.   You are being suckered and don't even realize it. GUARANTEED or your money back!   This episode might shift your consciousness enough to create a ripple that will put us back in charge of dictating how the music industry should work.   This is a very important podcast to listen to, to become a savvier and more informed musician and artist, while navigating these tricky waters.   There are sharks everywhere. Are you the chum? You won't be after this...

Anti-Social Commentary Episode # 6 Our guest did not make it today, but some wacky shit did happen on the show anyway... Laura Feline Kat from Legal Weapon and Hugh Asnen of the Hi-Z's expressed their opinions about things...     As the founding member and bassist for Black Flag back in the day, Chuck Dukowski was the man behind epic songs such as: "My War," "What I See," "I've Heard It Before" and "Spray Paint" Chuck was also co-owner of SST records until the late 90's. SST was the label behind album releases for bands such as Sonic Youth, Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, the Descendants, the Meat Puppets and many more influential bands. I'd say they were instrumental in many successes over the years. We didn't get to talk to him today but planning on rescheduling this show. Stay tuned.
