Totally feeling honored as I type this.

The Mediocre Show, a popular live radio show based in Pennsylvania and podcast of epic proportions,  has featured a six pack of Scrub Club songs on their latest episode!

The badasses in charge are Eric Tomorrow, who has been the leader of the Mediocre nation since 2005 and Tha Mike, previously of the Awful Show and long-time supporting brother of Scrub Club Records. Every single week, they have great talk segments, contests, listener call-ins, and independent music. The show has been a featured comedy podcast on iTunes for four years running now and shows no sign of slowing down.

This special Scrub Club edition is in episode 299, meaning that TONIGHT… WE ALMOST DINE IN HELL!

Click here or the giant image above to check out the episode and then click here to learn more about the show, get involved, and become the ultimate Scorpions of Support! We must merge the Scrub Club Soldiers and the Mediocre Nation so we can take over the entire… bowling alley.

To listen in live, check them out every Wednesday night at 8pm EST on areciboradio.org.

Much love to the show and everyone involved! This is the beginning of a beautiful relationship (slightly homo).

Jarod from AlienBoBz needs your help in order to help other Northwestern artists get great audio and video recordings of their shows, including Scrub Club’s own Southside!

Jarod has been doing this a while now, recording live performances and distributing the files for free for musicians like Beefy, Billy the Fridge, Death*Star, Eli Porter, The Goondocks, M. Bison, MC Gigahertz, MC Tanuki, Optimus Rhyme, The Parselmouths, Ultraklystron, and Southside.

Spending countless time and money on this project just out of his love for the music, Jarod is now looking to purchase a Canon VIXIA HF20 HD camera so he can offer even better quality and functionality for the performers he works with. Here’s where the call to action is – He is looking for any size of donation to help him achieve this goal, and every donation counts.

If you can spare anything, please Paypal it to [email protected] … Jarod, Southside, and the rest of us here at Scrub Club thank you in advance! Much love and Karma to you all.

We are truly honored whenever the three homies we have over at GeekDad / Wired write about us, and this of course is no exception.

Curtis Silver, the only ginger in the Modern Warfare SCR Clan, (haha) wrote an awesome article called “12 Geeky New Years Resolutions.” One of the resolutions is to support independent starving artists by spreading their free music and donating a bit when you can. Two albums of ours that were specifically noted were Benjamin Bear’s “The Bear Necessities” and Dr. Awkward’s “Next Gen.”

Welcome to a new age of Scrub Club Records!

I figured there were some ways to slim down the site, make navigation easier, and make everything more focused on the social world around us – so the old site layout and system of doing things just had to go! What you see now is a total conversion over into WordPress, which allows you scrubby users a lot more control in how easily you find our content and are alerted of updates and changes.

If you subscribe to RSS feeds, then prepare for great, constant updates from us through those now. If you don’t do RSS feeds, well, it’s a great time to learn now! You can also get our updates via Twitter and Facebook, of course. Here’s a list of what’s new around here:

• Easy-to-navigate layout including several different ways to find the content you want
• A new image gallery sorted by different artists, group shots, and soldiers
• An artist sampler MP3 player on the index page for new listeners to discover
• A “recently uploaded images” area that will change whenever we add photos
• A fresh new donation / linking system for the front page
• A “latest video” area that will change whenever something new on YouTube pops up
• A revised promotions section with street team image packs and pictures of our homies
• A contact form that goes straight to me without having to log into your email
• One-click tweet, Facebook sharing, and social bookmarking buttons on every post
• A nifty little 3D word portal that shows what’s being talked about most on the site

Put all that together and add the fact that it will be easier in the future for us to release and organize our new material, and you have one hell of a package. I hope this makes a decent little Christmas present to all of you Scrubs out there who have been looking forward to a new site for awhile now. Do you like the changes? Want to spread some love? Feel free to leave a comment on this update and any other page you may come across.

Here at the label, ee’re all very excited with what we have in store for you in the first quarter of 2010! And you absolutely will not believe the barrage of free albums coming your way in the next month. I’m serious about that. So stay tuned, stay connected, share every post with your social sites so that we can spread our message even farther! Much love to all of you!
