  • Julie Bowen - Gettin' Down On Jim Morrison's Grave

    Julie Bowen - Gettin' Down On Jim Morrison's Grave
    May 20 2025
    The 49th anniversary of Jim Morrison and the Doors taking the stage for the first time as the house band at LA's legendary Whisky a Go Go is May 23, 2025. Just over a year later their song Light My Fire would go to #1 on the Billboard charts. But none of that compares to the release An American Werewolf in Paris -- a film in which future Modern Family star Julie Bowen makes history with a werewolf on top of Jim Morrison's grave. Bark at the moon, indeed! The hilarious VIDEO where Julie recounts the awkward logistics of pulling off this funky feat is not to missing. WATCH HERE: https://youtube.com/shorts/Xycl9OzzD04 Julie Bowen's Spinal Tap Moments run the gamut from a very uncomfortable rainbow-afro-wigs incident with her Modern Family co-stars, to auditioning for the show while pregnant with twins, to career lowlights such as appearing (barely) in the movie, Amy's Orgasm...all told with Julie's punchy, self-deprecating sense of humor. --- ***http://distrokid.com/vip/tmep*** Too Much Effing Perspective is grateful to be sponsored by DISTROKID - the best way for Musicians, Songwriters, Producers, DJs to get their original music into Spotify, Apple, TikTok, and all the major platforms.

  • Violent Femmes Brian Ritchie - Just Keep Going

    Violent Femmes Brian Ritchie - Just Keep Going
    Apr 8 2025
    Among auspicious April events in rock 'n' roll history, April 13, 1983, is the date that Violent Femmes released their beloved, eponymous first album and gifted the world with Blister in the Sun, Add It Up, Gone Daddy Gone, and other instant classics. The album has ascended to the status of "generational hand-me-down" according to Violent Femmes founding member and our fellow Milwaukeean, Brian Ritchie. April 5, 1994 is the date that Nirvana's Kurt Cobain passed away. Both topics loom large in this conversation with Brian. Watch our VIDEO where Brian describes how Nirvana was selected to open for Violent Femmes in Australia, and Kurt's ragged state of mind even in those early days. WATCH HERE: https://youtube.com/shorts/usGs3M3atlY Plus the Femmes are touring this year, so what better time re-share Brian's stories about his band living through every scene in This Is Spinal Tap in real life; their big break being discovered by The Pretenders while sidewalk busking in Milwaukee; and his 3-word secret to success..."Just keep going."

  • HOPSCOTCH TOWN - Song For Those Who Are Hoppin' Mad

    HOPSCOTCH TOWN - Song For Those Who Are Hoppin' Mad
    Feb 11 2025
    Allen and his band, Happiless, put out a song — Hopscotch Town — way back in 2014 that sounds pretty prescient today. It's about a place where the people in charge convince the people they rule that economic prosperity trumps individual freedom. Sound familiar? And when will those egg prices come down, anyhow? Hopscotch Town is a catchy piece of pop confection wrapped around a big chunk of poison. Give it a listen. Then take action!
