9 | Mike Becker-Montana Artist with an interesting way of getting noticed

Mike Becker is a watercolor artist living in Bozemon Montana. He will literally take a finished work of art, find a space on a wall somewhere in his town...wait until nobody is watching, then hang it and leave. What happens next is people walk by it until somebody notices it and likes it enough to take it home for themselves. Usually they wait until nobody is watching before they take it. It's a unique way to market your art and is much less harmful than something like graffiti. Mike leaves a no...

Beatle Bob is an elusive character frequently spotted within the nation's live music scene. From the most hard to find back alley nightclubs for up and comers to the stages of huge festivals like Bonnaroo, he's just there...literally, he just pops up everywhere! Imagine seeing a Sasquatch at Macy's shopping for dress socks. When you see Beatle Bob, it gives you that same kind of feeling.

4 | Brett Whitcomb, documentary filmmaker (The Rock-Afire Explosion) and a look back at Showbiz Pizza Place

Award winning documentary filmmaker Brett Whitcomb takes a look at the 1980's phenomena known as Showbiz Pizza Place. Showbiz came around in the early 1980's and was part pizza restaurant, part arcade. Each location also had a stage where an animatronic band known as The Rock Afire Explosion would perform. These robotic band characters were the mascots of the franchise. By the mid-80's, Showbiz was on top of the world. By the early 90's it was GONE. Showbiz and it's main competitor Chuck-E-Chees...

3 | DOM-Interview with the Indy Rock frontman

Dom is the frontman for an American pop / electronic solo musical project (that also happens to be called DOM). He's led quite an interesting life, rocked stages around the world and collaborated with people like Gucci Mane and Blink 182's Mark Hoppus. His ability to write a catchy song is INSANE, but he'll tell you that "getting signed" by a major label doesn't quite live up to what people think it means.
