It's Time for Artist Teams and Groups--Saturday, 1 pm Eastern

It's a bear out there! Come join us Saturday, at 1 pm Eastern, to hear our Artisans Teams and Groups show with Lily of TulipsTreasureBox as she interviews Shelley, of the Artist Bears and Friends Team.

What IS the Artist Bears and Friends Team?

From their Etsy Team Page:
We are a collective of artists who make soft-sculptured collectibles produced in the image of a bear and/or any other real or imaginary creature. These collectibles are knitted crocheted, needle felted or stitched with an external covering of yarn, mohair, wool, plush or other fabric including real fur and leather. They may be jointed, partially jointed, or un-jointed. Their common denominator is that none of them are intended or safe for children.

Join us as we learn more about this fun team, their work and the artists in the team!

We promise it'll be a BEARY good time!

(Sorry, I couldn't help myself...)

Gooooooooood Morning Blockheads!!

A top of the morning to you me folks!! (that was my Irish accent..)

I thought I'd bring you some odd news in the spirit of the Morning Brew Ha Ha (Weekdays, 9 am Eastern here on www.blockheadradiolive.com)

New York's maple syrup mystery smell solved

NEW YORK (Reuters) – A mysterious, maple syrup-like odour that has periodically wafted over New York City since October 2005 has been linked to New Jersey fragrance processing plants, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Thursday.

Fragrance and food additive factories in nearby New Jersey where fenugreek seeds are processed are the "probable source" of the odour, Bloomberg told a news conference at City Hall.

The odour has attracted media attention and hundreds of complaints from city residents.

"Given the evidence, I think it's safe to say that the 'Great Maple Syrup Mystery' has finally been solved," Bloomberg said.

The city had assured residents that the odour was not harmful, but it was not able to explain its source until now.

The mystery was solved after city agencies matched complaints by their geographic location against information about winds and atmospheric conditions.

"The health department confirmed that the odour does not pose a health risk, but I am pleased to know that our ... smelling sleuths got to the bottom of this mystery," Bloomberg said.

Amy the possum here...I can tell you from my breastfeeding days..fenugreek STINKS! So that must've been one heck of a stench!

And I just thought it was Witchy stirring up some new brew....

Indie Music Spotlight--Hot Buttered Rum

Indie Music Spotlight On:




Tune in Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 to hear Hot Buttered Rum live and in person on Blockhead Radio! Our very own Blockhead Rod will interview the band and of course play some of their awesome tunes!

But who is Hot Buttered Rum? Well besides having an EXCELLENT name, "Hot Buttered Rum, one of the hardest-working and fastest-rising acts in acoustic rock, began in the San Francisco Bay Area with a lineup full of uniquely talented singer-songwriter/instrumentalists setting out to create a new Northern California sound. The Bay Area claims credit for producing dozens of bands, from Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead, and Old and In the Way, to the Mother Hips, Green Day, Metallica, and beyond. From this fertile ground sprang Hot Buttered Rum’s own infectious blend of American styles—folk, rock, jazz, and newgrass—all informed by the landscape of their home."

Be sure to tune in and learn more about this fascinating band and listen in to their great music!

You can have a sneak peak at Hot Buttered Rum by visiting their sites:
