1/27/12 - Since it's a new year, and the last to some, I've
decided to make some changes to existing projects, and
create some new ones. For the new things, you may have
noticed there are three new tabs in the top menu. Two pages
are still in the making, but the "Lessons" page is now up
for your reading pleasure. If anyone out there is in need of
private drum lessons, without having to take out a second
mortgage, then feel free to contact me.
Unsuccessful People is changing! The original podcast is
being revamped into an actual show, to oppose to 45 minutes
of hateful rants. And, there will be sketches. Video
sketches! That's right, Unsuccessful People is basically
becoming a production company. So stay tuned for the audio
and video shows which will now be hosted on Youtube.com. The
show is still in production, but should be online in the
next few weeks. Stay tuned!
1/13/12 - Merry Chirstmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year,
and any other holidays I forgot. In other words, it's been a
while since I updated this site. But now it's done.
The Shade is playing this Saturday, Jan. 14, at Dipiazza's
in Long Beach, CA. Yep.
12/20/11 - That's right, The Verm and The Shade are doing
the same show this Friday starting at 10 PM. The show is at
Lot 1 in Echo Park, CA. The Shade is up first at 10 PM, The
Verm is up right after at 11 PM.

12/16/11 - Like the title says, there's a few new updates in
the world today. But we'll focus more on the ones
surrounding me. First, The Shade has show just around the
corner at Lot 1 in Echo Park, CA. The gig is on Dec. 23, and
we go on at 9 PM.
Unsuccessful People has new episodes! Last time I posted on
here, the show was at episode 8. The Thursday after this
post, episode 13 will be available. So I may have skipped a
few. Be sure to catch up incase the next episodes have any
inside jokes created on previous shows. You never know.
A brand new comedy sketch is currently in the making! How do
I know? I'm writing for it. "Short-Term Brain Damage" is a new
sketch show that will be available on Youtube sometime in
January. More details to come!
11/7/11 - Well, it's been a while, but The Verm is doing a
show this Friday, Nov. 11, at The Crest in La Crescenta, CA. It's free
to get it, and all beers are only $5! That's why I'm going.
There will be great music, great drinks, and enough lights
and lasers to burn a hole in the moon. To check out more on
The Verm, go to
www.thevermmusic.com.
10/31/11 - The somehow Halloween episode of Unsuccessful
People is now available! Orlando Garcia joins the
Unsuccessful hosts. He may be dressed up as a fairy
princess, but that doesn't mean this ep. isn't funny. Then
he plays guitar at the end! It's a toe-tappin' good time.
10/27/11 - Episode 7 of Unsuccessful People is now
available!! This week we have a guitarist who truly lives up
to his fake name, Crazy Tomes. Tomes plays in almost 400
bands, and is the guitarist of Arrest My Sister, a band that
I just might be in. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might cut
yourself. Don't sue me. Enjoy!
10/24/11 - Tomorrow night, Oct. 25, The Shade will be
performing a Halloween show live at The Terrace in Pasadena,
CA. It's $7 to get in, unless you contact The Shade, by
Clicking Here, and getting on the guest list. Then its
only $5. Doing the math is up to you. The Terrace is 18+,
and we go on at 10 PM. Be sure to check out my other show
dates on the right.
A few more links have been added to this site. You can now
see who I thanked for helping me get to where I am today,
you can browse my little store full of things I'm apart of
in some way, and a link to a page full of links! It's a
bunch of info no one really needs to know, but it is
what you want to know.
10/22/11 - Holy crap! It's a whole new site! Yes, I got
bored and decided to go and create an all new website based
around myself. Which, I know, sounds very narcissistic. Besides that,
go ahead and take a look around. Now that I've started to
dabble in the world of podcasts, as well music, I created an
entire link that goes straight to my podcast.
Speaking of which, you're probably wondering what the button that says "UP" is
all about. It's an awesome new podcast! Unsuccessful People
is now available for you to download. And it's FREE. There
will be a new episode every Friday, and always with a new
guest on the show.
Click
Here, or on the "UP" logo above to
find out more.
The interweb is free for all, so feel free to look around.
And this time, I will update this site more than once a
month. Cheers.
Hey
all! My name is Jon McCracken, and this is my website. I
am a drummer, podcaster, web designer, and some other
things I can't remember. I am available for studio work,
live shows, touring, private lessons, and web
design.
