Famous among horror aficionados for his role as George Namtut in the horror comedy cult classic "Blood Diner" (1987, Lightning Pictures) and his controversial role as Jeffrey Dahmer in "The Secret Life of Jeffrey Dahmer" (1993; Intervision), he is the owner and proprietor of the California Institute of AbnormalArts in North Hollywood, CA. He is also the host of his most recent venture, "The Fourth Watch Files Podcast," discussing anomalies and enigmas in the world today.  We discuss all of these ventures, and more, including the character Rusty Defage (played by Dino Lee, the King of White Trash), the cast and crew of "Blood Diner," and his experience on the "Maury Povich Show" in 1993. We cover all this and more. However, we ran out of time to discuss the mystery of Shaye Saint John. The invitation for Carl to return is always open, as he was a real pleasure to have on the show.  This episode is dedicated to the memory of Rick Burks (Michael Namtut in Blood Diner; RIP, good sir).  For more information on Carl Crew, The Fourth Watch Files Podcast, and The California Institute of AbnormalArts, please click the links below.

Episode 71: Actor Carl Crew (Blood Diner, California Institute of AbnormalArts, Fourth Watch Files)

The man, the myth, the legend...MASADA. A name that strikes fear in the hearts of competitors of the squared circle and brings excitement to the hearts of fans around the world. From his beginnings in Texas, he trained with Rudy Boy Gonzales and Shawn Michaels at the Texas Wrestling Academy, and made his way to NWA Wildside, Ring Of Honor, IWA Mid-South, and then to Japan in Big Japan Pro-Wrestling. There, he made his name and became an internationally-known athlete who found more popularity than ever before in his return to the United States. Many championships were earned, including the CZW Ultraviolent Undergound, CZW Tournament of Death Winnder, and CZW World Champion. He was also the winner of the inagural GCW Nick Gage Invitational, where his match with Nate Hatred (RIP) stole the show. MASADA is the owner of his own business called Exiled Artifacts, where he builds jewelry and accessories, and refurbishes vintage items. Working with leather, steel, and bone carvings, his creativity shines through in his craftsmanship.  The Music Is Life Podcast is proud to have MASADA as a guest on the show. After all...he's an artist!  To find out more about MASADA, please check out the following links:  Official MASADA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialmasada/ Official Exiled Artifacts Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/exiledartifacts/ Official MASADA Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brigham.doane Official Exiled Artifacts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ExiledArtifacts Official MASADA Twitter: https://twitter.com/officialmasada Official MASADA DVD/Blu-Ray Releases: https://smartmarkvideo.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=masada&description=true&category_id=194&limit=100 Official MASADA Shoot Interviews: https://smartmarkvideo.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=masada To purchase official Music Is Life Podcast merchandise from TeePublic.com, use this link: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/24041518-music-is-life-podcast-official-logo?fbclid=IwAR2DMITWW5QtpxOQFBXgnnguy3rEksMGzkmr7WCPVCHgDZp8hu85LJAup40&ref_id=24450 If you want me to review YOUR band or YOUR music, please contact me at LouMavs@MusicIsLifePodcast.com.   If you’d like to donate to the podcast, please send via PayPal to MusicIsLifePodcast@gmail.com.

The brainchild of one Erica Solitaire Chappell. An artistic femme fatale, one that hasn’t been seen in ages in the world of popular music, and that’s all about to change. Originally hailing from Kentucky, she moved to LA to branch out into the world of entertainment. With a background in theater, dance, and music, there are no boundaries that she can’t break. Her musical project She Loves Tragedy brings memories of an area when underground goth subculture was all the rage. Combine that with the cheesecake aesthetic, and a punk rock attitude that puts the commercial bands to shame, Erica is ready to take on the world. I’m proud, honored and grateful to be the first music-based podcast that she interviewed with, and she’s welcome back anytime. Pure class, sophistication and intelligence.

How many people say “rock is dead” without knowing all the facts? How many people stay loyal in a business where the bottom line is sales and revenue? In the world of Munsey Ricci, loyalty and brand building are part of the job, and for 30 years, his company Skateboard Marketing has ridden the wave of being the last truly independent radio promotion company still standing. Born in Queens, NY, Munsey was a student of the game, having worked in radio and for Mercury Records (who at one time had Kiss, Rush, Def Leppard, and more). With all of his experience and work ethic, he built his company Skateboard Marketing from the ground up. To get fans connected with the metal community, he recently launched Metal Contraband as a site for metal news and tours (ran by Chelsea Nelson-Fernandez) to expand his business. Munsey is proof that with great risk and responsible management comes great reward. I recently interviewed him on his career and his company, his friendships with many artists (including the late, great Lemmy Kilmister and Ronnie James Dio), and more. Get the scoop on this industry insider that I’m proud to call a friend for over 20 years.

Influenced by the classic artists of the Motown era, jazz and by pop-music, she creates an original sound that many today are not doing. Her new single “Nothing Lasts Forever” is available now on all streaming media platforms. Along with Lele, we have Ernest “Ernie” Layug of Out-Of-Time Productions. Ernie is a photographer and videographer who has photographed Lele professionally. They befriended each other through Instagram at the beginning of the pandemic, and started a professional working relationship through the most interesting of means - via photography through Zoom. Ernie also has the distinct pleasure of being my former band mate in The Rebel Medium. That is him that you hear at the beginning and end of every episode of the Music Is Life Podcast on the song “Lose Control.” We talk about many things - music, our passions, and our search for happiness.

You get Shockwire – the brainchild of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada’s Jawn Whitten. Forming Shockwire from the ashes of SuperQuest (https://youtube.com/user/superquestrock), Jawn took his love and talent for music, comedy, and content creation, and took it up 10 steps (some even say up to 11). Having discovered a new following on Instagram, Jawn has amassed over 17,000 followers on his own, and through word of mouth from his fans. Never one to be complacent with his content, he’s consistent with output and delivers on all fronts. I discovered Jawn by accident. I entered “guitar” in the search engine for Instagram, and one of his “normal speed/slow motion” videos showed up. I thought it was one of the funniest videos I had seen in a long time, and quickly added it to my stories. From there, I was being asked “who is this guy,” and I had to find out more. Needless to say, Jawn and I hit it off immediately with our love of AC/DC and Def Leppard. This interview shows it, and is one of the most fun times I’ve ever had recording an episode. I wish Jawn all the best, and I hope you enjoy it. Shockwire’s EP “Cheap Beer & Guitar Strings” is available NOW!

Human Barbie, the lo-fi indie project of Mr. Christopher Leopold Hackman, has music running through his veins. From his humble beginnings in Wyoming, his biggest musical influences were whatever was the pick of the month from mail order services from Columbia House. What it did was cultivate an interest in seeking his own artistic path, which led him to Los Angeles, CA where he’s been busy writing and recording for his band. Studying jazz bass and collaborating with like-minded musicians motivated him to create this project. From their first single “Nineteen80” to their recent full-length “Get A Life,” not one song disappointed me. Very friendly, very open, and with a warm disposition, I was honored to have Chris as a guest on the podcast to discuss his beginnings, where he is now, and what he will be doing. I suggest you check out his music - full of dynamics and dichotomy. There’s beauty in the sound, and a twist in the lyrics. All in all, a great sonic experience. I wish him nothing but the best.

Recommended to me by Mr. Tony Santana of Mob Hit Records, I came across her music in the spring of 2021, and fell in love with her honesty, transparency and vulnerability in her music. I have to thank him and Babyghost for solidifying my asking her to be on the show, which she graciously accepted. In a world where everyone is keeping it “real,” or “edgy,” or relevant to sell records, Ventage is keeping it honest and soulful. Yes - I know I’ve interviewed musicians in metal and hardcore mostly, but remember - I love good music. Doesn’t matter the genre. Ventage is DAMN good music, and I’m proud and honored to have this young native of Echo Park, CA on the podcast.

Buy tickets here - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dee-snider-leave-a-scar-movie-with-live-music-holy-mother-kings-liars-tickets-159023155539?fbclid=IwAR3oUw5QPkuIf3vxZi0MxSXGRsOhf17s89UFByK8YYSutcCX953UX7H6Q2U Holy Mother is an institution in metal music since the mid 1990s. Having had top reviewed albums in magazines such as Metal Hammer and Rock Hard has given the band an international presence, where they’ve had appearances on tribute albums for Ronnie James Dio and Van Halen. With their charismatic frontman Mike Tirelli at the helm, Holy Mother return after a long absence to reclaim their throne as metal kings with a revised lineup (including original drummer James Harris and new members Greg Giordano on guitar and Russell Pzutto on bass) and their new album “Face This Burn.” Mike has been performing since the mid to late 80s, beginning with Jack Starr’s Burning Starr. His journey has taken him to countries far and wide, including having performed in front of crowds of up to 30,000 at Wacken with Messiah’s Kiss. In that time, he has dealt with much, including winning his battle with stomach cancer, the loss of friend and bassist Randy Coven, and missed opportunities due to other bandmates’ issues with touring. Like very few, Mike Tirelli stands tall with a new album, a new lineup, and the same fire and conviction that has taken him to the stage.
