Cabin Fever #13: Brian Loves Josh Peck

Posted Wednesday, February 27th, 2008 at 1:55am

This week’s show is a little bit crazy. Aaron decides to take over musical duties, resulting in the rocking of the cheapest instrument ever. You can stop the madness by sending your songs or getting in touch on our myspace page (myspace.com/cabinfeverradio). Brian has to face his prejudices against the perfectly nice actor Josh Peck. This battle gets a little ugly. Needless to say, there may one day be a re-match. This one was recorded on the day of the Oscars so don’t laugh at us if we’re wrong about anything. Enjoy!

Cabin Fever #12: The World On iTunes

Posted Monday, February 25th, 2008 at 4:16am

And so we’re back from outer space. Don’t turn around now with that sad look upon your face. We can blame the delay of episode 12 purely on the fact that Aaron went on a trip to Belgium (no, he wasn’t “In Bruge”). However, we came back with a little wizzbang show containing pedophilic elephants, handlebar mustachioed air-hostesses and talk of an odd statue Aaron found on holidays. There’s music from the likes of Credit, The Bad Habits and, Jasper McVain. Good times! As always if you like what you hear, then drop us a line. We’re whores for props so feed this machine!

This week, the boys are joined in the studio by Ian Cooke (part-time soap opera actor, full time friend of ours). We have news of belly-button-cocaine smugglers, cousins doing it in the road, and a lot of bragging that people are actually listening to us now. Most of it is quite good, except Aaron loses the ability to talk with words that are real and making sure that he’s playing the song he’s talking about. Good times. You get music from Cheapskate, Blue Sun, The Bluetones, and a special submission of a possible Cabin Fever theme tune. Hope you enjoy!
