Back in 2005 my buddies Dave & Serge from Marah decided to combine our love of making each other laugh & our love of history & the jungleland that was 100 Metro & a new way of recording that would eventually become known as "podcasts" and recorded a few episodes of THE HISTORY OF WHERE SOMEONE HAS BEEN ROCKED, in which we picked some historical subject and then talked about it (I vaguely remember doing one on the covered wagons of the Wild West). And of course this being within the years 2002-2008 everything we recorded went away on yet another hard drive that got lost or broke grrrrrr.
ANYhoo, I'd long forgotten all about it, and don't dare dream of one day finding the recordings, but the description below that I'm guessing is what we would've put on Myspace or whatever was even available at the time (Friendster?) popped up the other day on an old message board when I was searching for something else. Maybe if this sparks as much interest as the Oasis reunion, we can get everybody back together for more episodes!! 🤗 😜 🤣 The Barber was also there handling all the tech shizzle and surely providing comedic inspiration at an incredible clip.
Enjoy, my little Xmas Monsters!

I fucking hate MySpace, but this sounds like it might be fun.COMING SOON! Dave and Serge Bielanko of Marah along with Greg "Xmastime" Wilson of Hayday fame will be hosting a radio show... THE HISTORY OF WHERE SOMEONE HAS BEEN ROCKED
HOSTS: Serge Bielanko, Dave Bielanko, Greg Wilson
GOAL: Listeners will have journeyed through an epoch of American History courtesy of great music, stories and fun facts delivered with wit and humor.
FORMAT: Each show will feature a theme (or two) that is inimitably American/Americana. From the introduction until the very end of the show the guys will use their vast knowledge of cool American History and music to tie in vignettes, captivating facts and humourous anecdotes with both obscure and popular music of all genres (rock&roll, bluegrass, hip-hop, jazz, brass bands, barber shop quartets, doo-wop, soul etc..) relating to the theme in order to create a kind jukebox classroom. (Sample Themes: The American Flag, Abe Lincoln, Baseball, The Old West, The New South, Religion, New York City, The Civil War, Texas, Christmas, Immigrants, Stock Car Racing, September 11th, American Painters, Hollywood etc..)
ABOUT THE HOSTS: Dave and Serge Bielanko have been leaders of the Philadelphia/New York City rock'n'roll band Marah for the past ten years. From their first album 1998's Let's Cut The Crap...And Hook Up Later On Tonight, (given four stars in Rolling Stone magazine) to their most recent album If You Didn't Laugh, You'd Cry (chosen by Stephen King in Entertainment Weekly as best album of 2006) the brothers Bielanko have played a thousand legendary shows in every big city and every backwater town in the U.S. of A. Their reputation as stellar songwriters, incredible showmen and damn funny storytellers combined with their life-long passion for music, books and history makes the idea of THE HISTORY OF WHERE SOMEONE HAS BEEN ROCKED seem inevitable. Greg Wilson, Dave and Serge's longtime friend, is an accomplished humorist and funnyman. Greg's daily blog, "Xmastime" receives tens of thousands of hits a day as a testament to his talent. The leader of the New York City based band Hayday, Greg has a thorough knowledge of music and history from The Ramones to the Civil Rights era, from Tin Pan Alley to the origin of the cheeseburger, he is an asset to the show as well as one of the funniest, most lovable men on earth!
