Mascot Wedding’s New “Gig”


Gig? Get it? Let me explain. We’ve been making videos for AggieReport.com making fun of Texas A&M’s opponents. This may seem weird because not only are we not graduates of Texas A&M, but we’re all graduates of their rival school, the University of Texas at Austin. So far the project has been very successful resulting in some blog coverage, views in the tens of thousands, and tons of vulgar and heated comments from the fans of the teams we’ve been making fun of. Most of the blogs and commenters assume we’re A&M alumni or students which is fine by us (means we’re doing our job). Continue reading Mascot Wedding’s New “Gig”

the Mascot Wedding show: 10/18/08 + Pledge Drive Wrap-up

This was our final show of the KOOP Fall 2K8 Membership Drive. Thanks to everyone who pledged during our three-week run. You guys are the true heroes of KOOP. The rest of you are most likley scum. What’s that? You pledged during the Spring Membership Drive? Okay, you’re still a hero.

I hope everyone enjoys the show-exclusive premiums. They’re going to be mailed out separately by us in November. So if you get a package of KOOP swag in the mail and don’t see your copy of Erler and Sons vol 2, no worries, it’s coming.

Since these shows aren’t really “for the ages”, I’ll most likely take down the podcast episodes in a week. So listen to them while you have the chance… if you want to listen to them that is. They’re pretty much just yelling. Plus you can hear the annoyed choreographer trying to keep David and Mac on track.

And finally congrats to Patrick G. who won our mini-raffle and will be getting all of the mix CD’s we make for the show. Thanks again to everyone!

Final Membership Drive show for Mascot Wedding! Listen this Saturday!

This Saturday is our last show during KOOP’s Fall 2008 Membership Drive it’s also your last chance to score our exclusive album Erler and Sons vol 2 featuring call-in bits by myself, David Jara, and John Erler. If that isn’t enough to entice you, we’ll also have other albums to give out as well as tickets to see Ben Folds @ Stubbs. So before you watch the Battle Cattle take on Missouri, turn your radio to 91.7 FM or your computer to koop.org and listen from 6-7 PM to the Mascot Wedding show.

Here’s some video from last week’s overly manic show. I’ll calm down this week, I promise.

Membership Drive show #2! This is the second MW show of membership drive and the first show we managed to record since being back in the studio. Mac and David are joined in-studio by Joey V as all three make the hard sell for KOOP’s membership drive. A frantic show that’s also a bit of a mess but that’s how hard the boys are working for KOOP! Only one more show left of the Fall drive and only more chance to get Erler and Sons vol 2, a comedy CD exclusive to this pledge drive, so listen this coming Saturday!
