BKaF - Brad Kovach and Friends

So, Brad’s brother Brian bought Rock Band. Frankly, for lack of a better word, it is mindblowingly-intenso-awesome!

I spent like 2 hours playing it at his house the other day, and we had oodles of fun singing (in Brian’s case, wailing), drumming, and pseudo-guitaring. (I personally believe that I hold the title of best air guitarist ever.) But, at one point, during a particularly intense rendition of a Nine Inch Nails song, Brian said, “Being in a real band would be so much cooler!”

Then, I remembered my dad, curmudgeonly stating, “Back in my day, kids actually learned to play REAL instruments!”

I look down at the plastic guitar I hold, with its brightly colored buttons and tactile little switchy-thing. I watch Brad thumping on the drums, and Brian stumbling through a Rolling Stones song.

And I ask myself, “Is there really any difference?”

And for that matter, does it make any difference?

A very belated show: It’s spring break. Turkey gobble, art club. Mike Reese got mentioned, Katie Fluckiger told me an amazing joke. Sarah plays Soccer, we like Mr. Nethercott, I’m still practicing Thriller for the talent show, Sarah has 2 brothers, I’m going to prom, she isn’t. I have a lot of friends on MySpace, and Tedd vinson has a band: Sizzle Fryday

So it’s been exactly 1 month and 1 day since my last post. I suppose you’ve been in the dark long enough. Go start playing with Project Moonlight

Another secret that isn’t secret anymore: the bradkovach.com message boards are back, but this time, they won’t be lame. Sign up and get busy on the boards: boards.bradkovach.com

It’s been 1 month and 27 days since the last episode of Meet Someone New. I know: “that’s pathetic.” Catch up on the old episodes before you start whining. If you really want to get this ball on the road, bother these people, so that they bother me:

• Sarah Buche
• Erica Merritt
• Silke Dayley

Now for another issue: my publicity. I’ve backed off the blatent bradkovach.com promotion, but I’m fixing to start up again soon. I want more traffic, so please start posting things on MySpace like:

bradkovach.com is my favorite website in the world. I think you should all go to bradkovach.com

or you could try

I love Meet Someone New! Brad Kovach talks to people and it’s so funny! I think you should all listen to Meet Someone New!

There may be something that I’m missing, but this pretty much sums it up.

Happy Spring Break

After over ONE WHOLE MONTH, I give you MSN 14 with guest Megan Dustin.

Megan and I apologize for the lateness of this show, discuss her dramatic monologue for state drama (she doesn’t perform it), discuss the RAD Talent Show, dubbed the “Rad Review,” her deceptive relationship with Caleb Cheshier, ballroom dancing and the listener questions

• What does Santa get for Christmas?
• If you work on MLK Jr. Day, are you racist?

Due to Tedd Vinson being flaky and unreliable, MSN 14 has been postponed even longer. I know. If you see Teddddddd (that’s seven D’s this time), tell him to get his act together and be on the show!
In the meantime, I offer the first episode of The Danger Zone, a new podcast by Thomas Wells!
