30 DEC 2019 · Happy (almost) New Year, Randomers and Randomites. As 2020 approaches (and no, we're not making the hindsight joke), we thought to ourselves what would be the best way to close out the year 2019. One filled with many goings on and more advancements in humanity every year. Then the answer hit us. Star Wars. So yes, we're going to talk about Star Wars and also talking about the audiences that follow not just Star Wars but all major movie franchises rabidly and how things are changing in regards to them. Joining us is drummer to many bands Greg Andrews, our dear friend and DM Patrick and a brand new guest, filmmaker Greg Smith, known professionally as G. Gotham Smith on IMDb. Look below for information about the re-cut of his film "3.14" which will soon be available to stream on Amazon and keep an eye out for Greg Andrews playing with Anonymous Willpower and the Brian Lindsay Band. 3.14 on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1740719/ Anonymous Willpower: https://www.facebook.com/AnonymousWillpower/ Brian Lindsay Band: https://www.brianlindsay.net/ Stay tuned after the podcast for some music from some more new friends of the Carnival, Los Straitjackets.

25 DEC 2019 · Merry Christmas Randomers and Randomites. Stranded on Christmas Island, we are bound by the universe to put out a Christmas-type episode. So here we go. Patrick joins us and we're going to talk about Christmas movies. You know the ones we're referring to. We talk the supposed classics, our favorite, some Christmas memories and we even tackle the age old question as to whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Spoiler alert, it is. Now you have your Christmas podcast. Ho ho ho. Stay tuned after the podcast for some music from some more new friends of The Carnival, two of them this week! First off, to kick off the holiday spirit, our new friends The Grinders let us play a track from "The Grinders Christmas Album." We're proud to present "O Holy Night." Find them and love them. After that, and a brief silent intermission, we have another Christmas song from another new friend, Jared Paciulli. We are proud to present "Christmas Time (Spend Some Time)".

23 DEC 2019 · Hello Randomers and Randomites. Live from the Dandy Mini Mart in Ithaca, NY, we're back with a completely random episode involving wrestling, football and some World's Strongest Man stuff, along with other sports talk and movies because, as you probably can tell, we never have a damn plan when we come in to make this stuff. Sometimes it's just where our mind takes us or what we were talking about in the parking lot before we started recording. Either way, we like to go down many a rabbit hole and we're dragging you all along with us. Stay tuned after the podcast for some music from a very dear friend of The Carnival, O's Pipa. You may have heard her interview with her a while back where she played two live songs on the pipa and completely dazzled us, so we wanted to show her some more admiration and play one of her songs from one of her albums that are available to you, the public. From the album "Petal Power" we are proud to present "Pipa Concerto." Look for her around Rochester and show her some love and get one of her albums.

4 NOV 2019 · Hello Randomers and Randomites. To use the standard Hollywood defense in regards to bad continuity, time traveling wizards! Now that that's out of the way, we stumbled our way to a flea market and ran across three of the Carnival All-Stars! We're joined by Steve of The Tombstone Hands, Greg of many Rochester bands and Patrick of D&D and MuCCC/DVC fame. So what in the world do you talk about at a flea market? How about the weird things people want to get rid of. A lot of times you run across old movies that you wonder why people bought in the first place, so that's where we went. We're talking some really strange stuff. Old serials, Three Stooges, martial arts movies and the rash of sci-fi movies the world has seen related to the not-so-friendly people of Germany during the Second World War. Definitely an unusual time, but there's lots of stuff to make you laugh. Keep a close eye out for all of our friends and what they're up to. Greg is playing with several bands locally, including The Brian Lindsay Band and Anonymous Willpower, so stay tuned to their social media for news about what's going on. He'll be playing at the Brighton Farmers Market on Sunday, November 10th if you're near there so hit that up. Also, check out Steve's radio show "Rock & Roll Rumble" every Saturday from 1:00 to 3:00 PM on WRFZ 106.3 FM or listen during those times at Rochester Free Radio. Also, coming in December Patrick, among many other friends that you've listened to have a new show coming out called "Rouslana & Jelena: A Modern-Day Russian Revolution". Look for the links below for more information and stay tuned in the future for more news. Stay tuned after the podcast for some music from another new friend of The Carnival, the very talented Amy LaVere. With her permission, from her newest album "Painting Blue", we are proud to present "Painting Blue (On Everything)". Give her a listen and check her out and give her all the support that you can muster. Song used with permission, all rights to Amy LaVere. We own no rights to it.
