January

***January*** is the ninth released album by Moes Haven. The album was the first release from the band's "album a day" project, where they pledged to record one album's worth of music every day. The best output of each month was then released as an album. The project was titled "The 365 Project" in interviews and the booklet for *Victory is Ours! (For Now)**.*

This album was released on February 1, 2006 (Spotify date), less than two months after *Down With Memories.* The album has 14 tracks and a running time of 37:19.

As CDBaby describes it: "Moes Haven made a 30-minute album for every day of the month in January, 2006. This disc contains the best tracks from the experiment."

Matt Farley discusses the album on MMIP #84 "Elizabeth/Howle/January" (January 11, 2016), for its tenth anniversary. He discusses the origins of a number of the songs, including that "Word is Broke" derived from someone Froggy would ask "What's the Word?", and the person would always respond "Word is Broke".

The song "Violin Girl" is the only Moes Haven track released that features the member **Violin Girl** on violin. Violin Girl is stated to have joined the group for a brief time in 2005, but left before this album came out. The album artwork features Matt, Tom, and a friend named Sheryl at Tom's wedding.

The songs "Double Agents Are Deceptive" and "Isn't This Spectacular, Kite Flying?" appear on the 2007 compilation *Victory Is Ours! (For Now)*. "Slanted Sun in Exeter, New Hamphire" appears on *It Takes a Lot of Guts!* (2009).

Metal Detector Maniac (album)

## Metal Detector Maniac

***Metal Detector Maniac*** is the 30th released album by Moes Haven - and the first and only Moes Haven album released on vinyl. It is released in-character as the album made in the movie of the same name, so officially it is not a real Moes Haven album. It includes songs which appear in the movie as well as other tracks inspired by the movie.

It was released on February 14, 2022 for sale directly from Moternmedia.com, and appeared for sale on Amazon.com in early March. Only 200 vinyl copies made. No release on streaming services is currently scheduled, though it may occur at some point.

Motern Extravaganza

The **Motern Extravaganza** is an annual event which includes an insanely long live performance by Matt Farley and other members of the Motern Media empire.

The Extravaganza began in 2017, with Matt Farley and bandmates putting on a five hour concert in Danvers, Massachusetts on Farley's birthday. The event has since expanded into a weekend long celebration including events such as movie screenings, beach parties, and one-on-one basketball competitions against Matt Farley.

In 2022, Farley performed two mini-Extravaganzas which he calls a "Ganza".

The seventh Motern Extravaganza is scheduled for May 20, 2023. It will feature the premieres of Boston Johnny and the Secret Sequel.

## Origin

In 2015, Matt Farley held the first World Motern Day on his birthday (June 3), to encourage fans to listen to his music online and to generate streaming revenue from it. Farley threatened to quit making music if he didn't earn $1 million from World Motern Day. The second World Motern Day was held on June, 2016.

In September 2016, fresh off his incredible performance on The Tonight Show, Farley announced that he would hold a five-hour "World Motern Day Extravaganza" concert at a secret location in Danvers on June 3, 2017. People traveled from far and wide to attend the performance. The show included songs from Projection From The Side, Moes Haven, The Finklestinks and several of Farley’s solo acts. Several cast members from Motern Media’s movies were also present. Farley was supported by The Motern Manly Band.

Since 2017, Farley has held an extravaganza every year. The 2020 event was pushed back to October 2020 due to Covid but still held in an outdoor/tented venue. The 2021 show was held in New Hampshire near Hampton Beach, and the 2022 event (May 13-15, 2022) was held in Rollinsford, New Hampshire.

Never Gonna Flush Again

***Never Gonna Flush Again*** (2014) is the tenth album by the The Toilet Bowl Cleaners.

The album has 16 tracks and runtime of 26:06, and a release date of July 2, 2014. It appeared on ITunes on July 7 and Spotify on July 8. The cover art features Farley kneeling in front of a toilet holding an acoustic guitar. It appears to be the same bathroom which first appeared on the band's prior album.

The album concludes with *Never Gonna Flush Again*, where the band pledges to be done with writing poop songs. Farley also tweeted that it would be their last album. But just over a month later, the band released *Mature Love Songs* (a No Jokes album) which contains 13 songs, none of which are about poop.

The album was featured on the Bone Zone podcast shortly after its release, which quintupled album sales.

Gus Spelman of the Onion A/V Club has called this album "especially great," and said "Here, the artist takes a long look in the bathroom mirror, Windex in hand, and decides never to write poop songs again, no matter how much fans like me clamor for them."

Music critic Worrski on rateyourmusic.com gave this album 9 out of 10 stars.

Songs About Great Literary Giants (And Other Very Important People)

***Songs About Great Literary Giants (And Other Very Important People)*** is the ninth album by Papa Razzi and the Photogs.

The album was released on October 21, 2010, only seventeen days after *Songs About Famous People (Who Didn’t Ask Me to Write About Them)*. The album has 36 tracks and a running time of 1 hour.

The cover of this album is the last black and white album cover from Papa Razzi, it shows a picture of Farley wearing some sort of lanyard which is blocked in part by the album title.

The album title references "Great Literary Giants", and a bit over a third of the songs are indeed about famous writers. The rest of the songs are about current celebrities, including a number of songs which suggest Farley was watching Season 11 of "Dancing with the Stars" when this album was written.

As of March 14, 2022, the most streamed song from this album on Spotify is "Ryan Gosling, You Are a Great Singer and Actor. Will You Be My Friend?" (9,597 streams).

In 2021, music critic Deranged Maniac wrote about "Taylor Momsen, You Are so Great!" that "i laughed so hard it's borderline not okay."[1]

February: From the Bayou to the Barnyard and Back

## February

***February: From the Bayou to the Barnyard and Back*** is the tenth released Moes Haven album. iTunes lists the release date as February 28, 2006, the last day of the month. Amazon incorrectly lists it as February 16, 2007. It is the second album out of twelve from The 365 Project. It was released just 27 days after *January*.

Matt Farley discusses it on MMIP #87 ("February Turns Ten!"). The songs "Peter Bogdanovich Can't Stop Talking About Orson Welles" and "A Walk in the Park" are on the band's 2007 compilation *Victory is Ours! (For Now)**.*

The album features continuity with other Moes Haven projects and within the album itself. The first track introduces Creepy Bobby and fishing with his dad. The ninth track is titled "Fishin' With Dad". It also introduces the character of Creepy Bobby -- the main character in *Stromboli’s Alarm Clock*. Like that album, it is a concept album about Creepy Bobby. This album is about Bobby in his teen / young adult years.

Matt says the album was recorded in just one weekend in September or October 2005 in Matt's apartment in Manchester, New Hampshire. It features the signature Moes Haven sound -- Matt is the pianist and vocalist, Tom Scalzo is the guitarist.

The cover art features Pete Peterson talking to a girl named Karen at their high school reunion in 2005, probably. Matt describes the album as "hanging out with [me] and Tom for a weekend."

Monsters, Marriage and Murder in Manchvegas

***Monsters, Marriage and Murder in Manchvegas*** is a 2009 comedy-horror movie (79 min.) directed by Charles Roxburgh and produced by Matt Farley. It is streaming on Amazon Prime (link).

Principal filming for the movie occurred in September 2008. The movie had its world premiere in West Newtown, Massachusetts on June 1, 2009. It was shot on 16mm film.

Charlie and Matt discuss the movie in depth on MMIP #45 (March 4, 2015)

The songs in the movie are attributed to The Manchvegas Outlaw Society. "Manchvegas" is a nickname for Manchester, New Hampshire, where much of the movie was filmed.

## Plot

A maniacal slasher is on the loose in the normally peaceful town of Manchvegas. Will the Manchvegas Outlaw Society (M.O.S.), a spirited group of adventurous entrepreneurs, be able to solve the case? More important, will Marshall, leader of M.O.S., start dating Jenny, his cute second-in-command?

## Reception

Reviewer Jerry Saravia called the movie an "original treat" and a "film that nearly everyone might have a hard time disliking" which is the best kind of guarded compliment a movie reviewer can give to a "cheesey, low-budget B movie."

The Beyond

***The Beyond*** is the debut album by Brennan McFarley, released on September 27, 2020. On September 23, 2020, Matt Farley announced the album and the track titles. The album was finished on September 26, 2020, and Matt announced that it's 28 minutes long and the track listing the day after.

There were some technical difficulties with CDBaby while releasing the album, originally expected to be released in the last few days of September. As a condolence, Matt sent a single track to fans upon their request.

The album centers around a mythological location called 'The Beyond'. A lot is currently unknown about it. When asked if sci-fi plots like those seen in Don't Let The Riverbeast Get You! and The Ancient Forces trilogy. The Evil Spot trilogy of films by Charles Roxburgh and Farley is based on this concept of The Beyond.

It is discussed on The Motern Media Infomercial Podcast episode titled "The Beyond".
Doug Brennan

**Doug "Frog" or "Froggy" Brennan** is a drummer who plays in numerous Matt Farley projects including The Big Heist and Projection From The Side. Frog and Farley debuted a new project, Brennan McFarley, in 2019.

Froggy also plays guitar, and has written guitar parts for some songs. He also sings on a few songs.

Growing up, Matt and Doug had friends who had the nicknames "Turkey" and "Bulldog". Doug wanted an animal nickname too, and selected Froggy as his own nickname.

November the Tar!

***November the Tar!*** is the nineteenth released album by Moes Haven. Released on December 6, 2006, it is a compilation of many short songs instead of less longer songs. The band had experimented with this format on *Dislocated Songs* and *Explorations in Madness*, but those songs were more fleshed out than raw love songs.

The album is discussed on MMIP #132 (Dec 20, 2016). Among his song comments: The song "I Get Sad When I Look at Pretty Girls" has a companion response song sung by Tom Scalzo to the same music, "I Get Mad When Creeps Look At My Woman", which appears on *Songs from Deep in the Vault, Vol. 1*.

CDBaby says "Moes Haven recorded an album for each day of November, 2006. These are the best 24 tracks from that experiment, all inspired by the classic film, ISHTAR."

The 2007 compilation album *Victory Is Ours! (For Now)* contains the songs "Let Me Tell You 'Bout A Girl I Met" and "Alone and Sad In My Room", and 2009's *It Takes a Lot of Guts!* contains "(I Sing On Your) Wedding Cake", "Pretty State Trooper (Please, Won't You Stop Me?)", and "Hotwire My Heart".

The album features the shortest Motern Media song ever: "Alien Rockabilly" is a mere 15 seconds.

The official full title of the album is "*NOVEMBER: THE TAR! A COLLECTION OF SONGS WRITTEN IN THE TRADITION OF THE COMPOSITIONS OF ROGERS AND CLARKE, AS PORTRAYED BY WARREN BEATTY AND DUSTIN HOFFMAN IN THE 1987 FEATURE FILM, ISHTAR, A MUCH MALIGNED PRODUCTION CENTERED ON THE METEORIC RISE OF AN ILL-RECEIVED SINGER/SONGWRITER DUO, WHICH IN NO WAY DESERVED THE ALMOST UNIVERSAL DISPARAGEMENT IT RECEIVED FROM CRITICS WHO FOCUSED DISPROPORTIONATELY UPON THE PICTURE'S LAVISH BUDGET INSTEAD OF ITS GROUNDBREAKING HUMOR AND RIBALD SOCIAL COMMENTARY, WHICH IS ONLY NOW, SOME TWO DECADES LATER, FINALLY BEING RECOGNIZED BY A SELECT FEW RESPECTED SCHOLARS AND ERUDITE THEOLOGIANS."*

Franks 'n' Beans

**Franks 'n' Beans** is track 9 on *Songs About Food* (2004) by The Spoiled Chefs and also track 10 on *Dislocated Songs* (2004) by Moes Haven.

## Lyrics

Franks and beans, oh franks and beans

Can’t get enough of those franks and beans

I eat ‘em all day and I eat ‘em all night

Eat ‘em so much, it gives me a fright

Franks and beans, oh franks and beans

Can’t get enough of those franks and beans

Walk the desert, swim the ocean blue

So I can say hello to you

Been a long long time since I seen your face

But it’s time that I get out of this place

She said, “It’s been four months, this place is so serene”

But it wouldn’t take the place of my franks and beans

Franks and beans, oh franks and beans

Can’t get enough of those franks and beans

Eat ‘em all day and I eat ‘em all night

Eat ‘em so much it gives me a fright

If I can’t eat ‘em now, well I just might pop

And on the floor I could very well drop

Got a smile on my face and a spoonful in my mouth

Serve me all you want, I can eat ‘em myself

Franks and beans, oh franks and beans

Can’t get enough of those franks and beans

You don’t know what happiness means

Til you’ve had a plate of those franks and beans

On my gravestone, they’ll write, “he stayed so lean”

It musta been eating all those franks and beans

It musta been eating all those franks and beans
Life of An Artiste

***Life of An Artiste*** is a 1998 short film by Charles Roxburgh and Matt Farley. It centers around a college musician named Burt who is writing his first opera in Providence College in Rhode Island. Chronologically, it is the third short film by Farley/Roxburgh, following *Seeking Freedom* in 1997 and *Couch of Culpability* in 1998. It was created in early 1998 along with *Couch of Culpability*.

Released on VHS originally in 1998, Farley was in his junior year and Roxburgh in his senior year of college. It was re-released onto YouTube on February 17, 2016.

## Plot synopsis

Burt is a college student who has a love for music and opera. He spends a lot of time at the music store and doesn't have many friends, but has been working on his own opera. Burt has high ambition: he wants his opera rehearsed and performed in 2 to 3 months.

He tries, unsuccessfully, to get cast members willing to work 6 to 7 days a week. He eventually gets nobody for the opera. Every venue he approaches also refuses his offer. A montage showing Burt working on the films plays. The finale of the film shows Burt at an opera house 5 years later, with an audience giving a standing ovation for the opera.

## Cast

* Matt Farley as Burt
* Unknown actors as everybody else
Sir Paul Made Ram. We Made This.

***Sir Paul Made Ram. We Made This.*** is the seventh released album by Moes Haven. It was released on November 7, 2005 (Spotify date; Amazon CD November 8, 2005), about three weeks after *Moe's Haven*. It has 17 tracks and a runtime of 40:16.

CDBaby blurb: "A new disc by three guys who think Paul McCartney's RAM is the greatest album of all time." The third person is Chris Peterson, who only appears occasionally on other Moes Haven albums. A number of the songs on this album originated with The Finklestinks. "The Finklestinks Early Work" playlist on Spotify includes seven tracks from this album: "Love And Detroit", "Indifference", "I Don't Know", "Love And Detroit II", "Come On Baby", "Country Romp", and "Jess."

The title suggests that the album is inspired by Paul McCartney's 1971 album RAM. According to the CDBaby album notes, Farley hung up his McCartney album covers all around their "studio" while recording the album.

However, Farley discusses the album in depth on MMIP #61 (August 4, 2015) and admits the album was not inspired by McCartney at all. Instead, he was copying marketing schemes such as the claim that Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville was a song by song response to the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street.

The album contains material recorded from 2000-2005. Farley wanted to release more of the huge backlog of unreleased Moes Haven songs before the 2006 album-a-day project began.

The first two tracks are collaborations with Pete. Indifference, which Pete sings, shows up on *Adventures in Cruben Country*, and is credited there to The Finklestinks (2001). Track 3, Isolation, sung by Tom Scalzo, was originally recorded in the Spring of 2000, but re-recorded in this version.

Matt Motern Farley

**Matt Motern Farley** is an artist name used by Matt Farley for custom songs, though not all custom songs are released under that name. (See also other songs.)

Based on CDBaby and Spotify, Farley began publicly releasing songs under this name in mid-2017. Though the songs can be for the birthday, anniversary, or other special event of the song buyers, some of the songs are released publicly.

Two songs under this artist title are "Armpit Farts" and "Happy Bidet" which he co-wrote with *Wall Street Journal* writer Jonathan Eig, who did a profile of Farley in that paper in early 2020.

As of late 2020, this artist also has one "album" called "Recess" (January 19, 2020), which is eight custom songs about the George Washington University sketch troupe called ReceSs (first S capitalized), as described in the opening track "Recess Anthem!" The other seven tracks are about members of the group.

Important Songs About Washington State Cities Because

***Important Songs About Washington State Cities Because*** is the 23rd album by The Guy Who Sings Songs About Cities And Towns. Released on May 9, 2020, it was his second album in 2020, as well as fan-requested.

## Background

On December 31, 2017, @roblovesbeard replied to Matt Farley's tweet about the possibility of future Cities & Towns album. The user mentioned Washington, and Matt said that he'd consult the user when he would do Washington, putting the idea in the air.

On April 14, 2020, the user commented again, saying simply "washington". Matt responded "You win!" and thus began the most hyped album in Cities & Towns history. The next day, he released *Maryland Songs for Maryland People, MD**.* On May 2, 2020, Matt tweeted a picture of him on his porch with his dog Pippi. Then, he spun it into the album cover on May 6, with the message "Coming Soon!!!".

Heard She Got Murdered

***Heard She Got Murdered*** is the sequel to *Heard She Got Married*. It premiered at the 7th Motern Extravaganza, held in Peabody, Massachusetts, on Saturday May 20, 2023

## Background

Farley began mentioning a "secret sequel" project at least as early as June 2022.[1] The existence and title of the movie was not disclosed until the movie premiered. It was only known as the "secret sequel", despite great speculation, and was released on the same day as *Boston Johnny*. One detail Farley revealed in advance is that the movie would be a departure in genre from the original film. [5]

Shooting for the movie began on December 30, 2022[2]. More shooting occurred on January 28, 2023,[3] and continued into at least April.

A further movie screening was held on Friday December 29, 2023, at the Somerville Theater, Somerville, Massachusetts.

## Versions

There appear to be some discrepancies in the version of the movie that has been screened and the blu-ray. The Blu-ray of the movie was released by Gold Nina video late in 2023. It was noted, however, that the Blu-ray movie is in black and white while the movie that has been screened is in color. Also, at the end of the screened movie, people have commented that the movie teases another sequel called "Heard He Got Multiplied", while people with the Blu-Ray have noted that it teases a sequel called "Evil DJ".

11 in 10: Celebrating 11 Red Sox Victories in October 2007

## *11 and 10*

***11 in 10: Celebrating 11 Red Sox Victories in October 2007*** is the second album by the first sports band The Boston Baseball Band. It was released on November 13, 2007, about 4 and a half months after *Go Red Sox!**.*

The album is a similar length to *Go Red Sox!* and features more instruments than Farley's piano. It also only has 9 songs and is definitely of better quality than the debut. Fans agree that it is one of, if not the best Boston Baseball Band album out there.

This album also is the first to feature songs about people related to the sport but not playing in it.

The album title is a reference to the Boston Red Sox winning all 11 games they played in in October 2007, including the ALCS 2007.

## Notes

* **Jonathan Papelbon** was a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox in the 2007 season. After winning the ACLS, Papelbon did an Irish jig that became one of the first viral dances.
* **Terry** "Tito" **Francona** is a legendary manager for the Boston Red Sox, most notable for ending the 88 year long period where the Red Sox could never win the World Series (dubbed "Curse of the Bambino"). The Red Sox won the World Series in 2004 and 2007.
* **Danny Vinik** was a 17-year-old that caught Manny Ramirez's foul ball on October 5, 2007.
* **Josh Beckett**'s ex-girlfriend is country singer Danielle Peck, who sang the National Anthem for Game 5 of the 2007 ACLS.
* **David Jonath****an "J.D." Drew** was an infamous right fielder for the Boston Red Sox from 2007 to 2011. At the time, he was generally disliked due to his "soft" playing and inability to catch. By the end of the season and the rest of his career, people battled on whether Drew was actually that bad or it was exaggerated due to the hype for the Red Sox during the period.
* **Hideki Okaji****ma** was a pitcher for the Red Sox from 2006 to 2011. At the time of this recording, he was a newcomer.
* **Alex "A-Rod"** **Rodriguez** was a shortstop and third baseman for the New York Yankees from 2004 to 2016. However, in 2007 there was a controversy that occured when A-Rod's contract with the Yankees ended. A-Rod had stated he'd be a Yankee for the rest of his career, but started to make plans to became a Red Sox shortstop, the Yankees' main rival. This caused a lot of controversy, but A-Rod opted-out and became a Yankee once more, and the Red Sox and their fans thought they had taken a huge blow and would not win. The Red Sox would win the World Series again that year, their first time in a couple years since 2004 and second time since 1918. The Yankees' would end up not winning any World Series' except 2009 and barely win any games: thus, the "Curse of A-Rod" was born, replacing the long "Curse of the Bambino".

Frantic Frenzy

***Frantic Frenzy*** is the second album by No Jokes artist Caniko Tucci. It was released on December 26, 2020, the last Motern Media album in that year. It is the only Motern album, because of the Spotify delay, to be released (to the public) in both 2020 and 2021. It is theorized to delve more into Caniko's past in The Beyond.

The album's sessions were recorded in the last full week of 2020, the "Christmas Week". It is Matt Farley's third album for the Road to 24,000 project. However, unlike the rest of the albums for the project, it only has 41 songs instead of the usual 50. This is because Caniko collapsed after recording the 41st song for the album. 50 were scheduled. Some theorize an EP with the missing 9 songs may come out after *Frantic Frenzy*'s release.

On December 26, 2020, Matt released the titles for all 41 tracks. Matt also confirmed that most of the tracks were NOT piano + vocals, as many worried.
It Takes a Lot of Guts!

***It Takes a Lot of Guts (To Be This Obscure and Keep Getting Up in the Morning)*** (2009) is the second compilation album and twenty-fourth album in general by Moes Haven. Unlike its 2007 predecessor, *Victory is Ours! (For Now)**,* it collects tracks from the whole of the band's catalog, not just the album a day project of 2006.

It is one of three of the most widely available CDs sold (for free) by Matt Farley at his live performances. Along with *Victory is Ours! (For Now)* and *Stromboli’s Alarm Clock,*the CDs are given away at Motern Extravaganzas and were given out at Danvers residency shows.

It is the group's second-most popular album, 60% of the tracks being over 1,000 streams, which is big for a No Jokes band. It is musically not as cohesive as *Victory is Ours! (For Now)*, but still features a great selection of tracks.

The album cover photo was taken in March 2009 during a weekend that Farley and Scalzo were working on songs for *Stromboli’s Alarm Clock* (2010).

*The Wire* of Portsmouth, NH reviewed the album positively upon release, calling it "laden with 16 quirky, poppy numbers that reflect the near-neurotic whims of two compulsive songwriters."

The track listing below is as the song titles appear on the album; some of the titles are shortened from the originally released song.
