Because it's really two hours long. Sometimes even longer. How long a musical journey would you go on without having replaced the windshield blades?

with tax returns coming due today in the United States, I’m sadly obliged to reflect upon the 2010 flight undertaken by former Billy Eli Band bassist Andrew Joseph Stack III , who crashed his single engine Piper Dakota aircraft into the Austin TX offices of the Internal Revenue Service. Prior to this act of domestic terrorism, Stack could occasionally be seen maintaining the low end for the Eli Band at South Congress’ late, not so lamented Trophy’s, a bar one my dear friends descr...
this week’s program concerns a matter that has utterly captivated music media the past several weeks, namely the debut album from aspiring cellist / 13 year NBA veteran PG Jason “White Chocolate” Williams. Now, I know what some of you are saying. He’s a total clown. He cannot play the cello for shit. He sucked on defense. All of these things are undeniable, however as I consider Williams’ earnest musical attempts (aided in no small part by the International Anthe...
over the past couple of years I have thoroughly enjoyed my association with East Village Radio, however this glorious run has come to a conclusion as I’ve accepted a very lucrative offer to join the on-air staff at Sirius’ XMU. While I’ll not have nearly the same sort of creative control afforded by EVR’s rather lax management, I am absolutely convinced you’re GONNA LOVE “The Tame Impala Hour That Feels Like 9 or Ten Hours”. There is a slight issue in that the ...
so I was doing this silly interview with a UK newspaper and they were asking annoying questions like “what’s your favorite karaoke song?” (Paul Anka, “Having My Baby”), and “which song would be played for your torture at Camp X-Ray?” (Paul Anka, “Having My Baby”) and one of the click-baity Q’s was, “name a classic you don’t think has aged particularly well?” Off the top of my head, the only thing I could come up with was the Vatican Commandos’, “Housewives On Valium”. It’s unkind ...
People sometimes* ask, "how do you kill a golden goose?" Well, if you are the organizers of central texas' annual music/film/tech trade fair, there's more than one way to exterminate your gold-egg laying friend (besides, you know, drowning, strangulation, forgetting to buy goose chow). The gradual decimation of the musical portion was a start, but the less gradual cozying up to the military industry, playing footsie with a.i. purveyors-of-death, harassment of non-affiliated events...
much as i would’ve loved to devote this week’s program to previewing all the hot stuff planned for Planatir’s SXSW showcase (which, unlike Shawn Carpetbagger’s much vaunted INFOWARS showcases, might actually exist) , there’s a slightly more urgent issue weighing upon us. Or me, anyway. While there’s no shortage of horrible ideas on the Record Store Day docket each April, what have we as a society done to deserve an All-Star Salute to the Impotent Sea Snakes’ ‘Too Cool For R...
aside from the obvious (THIS FIFTH SEASON OF “INDUSTRY” IS TERRIBLE), you have no idea how much self-control was required not to type “it’s like equity punk never happened”. But here we are, I’ve typed it, I’ve got no self control and and if you invested in this dork’s operation, you’ve likely got no money. While we patiently stalk his Linkedin account awaiting the next great pivot, here’s 2 hours + of stuff and old and new to dive into while contemplating the failed merger ...
in honor of this program’s 300th episode, several of my devoted listeners pooled together cash from their paper routes and lemonade stands to purchase congratulatory Cameo calls from persons commonly associated with the number 300. Sadly, thespian powerhouse Gerard Butler (fig 1) turned down the gig saying he couldn’t get into the character. Widely decorated pro bowler and DX acolyte Pete Weber also blew us off, claiming the provided script was too sexually explicit. If this...
Needles to say, I'm confused how an accredited fitness maven/administration simp like Triple H got cut out of the intense training session shown above, but OTOH the room doesn't look very big. Maybe your sweat lodge is more spacious, I really don't know. I had a bunch of good stories about Richard Simmons from my former lawyer, but I'm sworn to secrecy (mostly because I'd asked him to arrange a meeting with Russell Simmons and he misunderstood). I'm so happy with this week's episode, I ...
good morning. I am sure you are all as mortified as I am by news reports of someone claiming to be a former member of Spacehog sending explicit, unsolicited pics of himself to persons who’ve mentioned Spacehog on their timelines. For starters, just because there are very few people who know or care enough about Spacehog to do so does not make these actions any less disturbing. Since our authorities are too consumed this morning with shutting down the airspace over El Paso,...
Last Friday's National Shutdown here in the USA raised a number of question that may or may not be answered in this week's program. For starters, it is a (slight) shame none of the organizers saw fit to credit retired MLB veteran Derek Bell who popularized the phrase "Operation Shutdown" some 24 years ago. While there's little in Bell's resume to indicate he'd be an effective ally for this particular movement, it would only have been POLITE to reach out to him> On a some...
with last week’s passing of longtime New Jersey cable fixture Florio Vivino aka Uncle Floyd, there’s been much said about Vivino’s comedic chops, his many celebrity patrons (including but not limited to David Bowie and Howard Stern) and the countless appearances by iconic musicians including but not limited to Adrenalin OD, Rupert Holmes, NRBQ and Blue Oyster Cult. Comparatively little has been written about the two appearances by Genöcide (featuring the late Bobby Ebz) and even less ab...
while other programs have done a wonderful (well, adequate in some cases) job of memorializing Bob Weir over the past week, I will instead leave you with the following words from Sleep Chamber’s John Zewizz that should really put everything into proper perspective LIFE IZ NEVER FOREVER. DEATH IZ. NOTHING IZ EVER FAIR. NOTHING IZ GUARANTEED. YOU ARE WHAT YOU MAKE YOURSELF. YOUR DESTINY IZ IN YOUR OWN HANDS. YOU AZ AN INDIVIDUAL STAND APART FROM ALL OTHES BECAUSE OV YOUR THOUGHTS, DESIRES...
in recent times, the film world’s powers that be have mercifully decided that biographies chronicling the lives of nobodies like Freddie Mercury, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen are no longer necessary, instead trying to mollify us with the saga of a Neil Diamond tribute act. While I would not necessarily describe this as progress, it does slightly open a window of possibility of a forthcoming feature film telling the story of STUPIFY, one of Cleveland’s top 5 or 6 Disturbed tribute ban...
for the first (or second?) show of 2026, I regrettably need to preface the program with a couple of apologies. As opposed to the nearly half dozen apologies that proceed most weeks. for starters, I know I’d promised with great fanfare that this week would feature the global streaming premiere of Vinnie Vincent’s hotly anticipated CD single, “Ride The Serpent”. As you’re probably aware, Vinnie is selling said CD online for $200 (plus $25 shipping) to discourage piracy, however, his keen busin...
i’ve been told there’s a lengthy essay in today’s NY Times, something along the lines of “Is Rock Dead : Maybe?” I’ve neither the time or inclination to read such a piece, particularly as I’m already aware rock has been on life support for some time and only following Rusted Shut’s January 17 set at the Crowbar can we conclusively declare it d-e-a-d. However, following news that a revered local nightspot (ok, repository for the worst fucking pop-punk / dork metal / who-gives-a-sh...
I’ve been asked once or twice, what, if anything, would i want to do MORE THAN ANYTHING to commemorate my 6100st birthday? I’ll admit, it was a difficult choice. Drive into the Comal Street's White Horse with a bulldozer? Visit the Turner Curling Museum of Weyburn, Saskatchewan? Spend the afternoon with Texas Railroad Commissioner Wayne Christian and his lovely family? These are all very attractive options, however it’s too late in the day to rent a bulldozer, the Curling Museum is closed for...
today’s program, the penultimate episode of 2025, was meant to be a full review and unboxing of the latest reissue of NME’s 1986 classic (?) ‘Unholy Death’ - a 7 LP + blu ray + coffee table book collection. Sadly, I misplaced my half dozen or so box cutters (these are like socks for me except they’re much sharper and cause more damage when you find them inside pockets) and I cannot get the fucking box open. As such, I am only able to speculate as to the quality of the unreleased demos, the qu...
it’s been several years since I asked you, dear listeners, to join me in mourning for my dearly departed Amaré Stoudemire Skullkandy headphones. To recap, said cans sounded like SHIT, however they were glorious to look it. Sadly, they were also about as durable as their namesake. And with that, I pivoted to Grado Labs’ open back headphones (looked like shit, sounded glorious). In the space of less than 4 years, I’ve had no fewer than 2 pairs of new Grado phones fall-the-fuck-apart and it’snot...
with each holiday season, there’s typically one or two highly coveted items that set up a frenzy amongst consumers, the-must-have-gift-of-the-year, if you will. The Furby. Nintendo Switch. For the well heeled and easily influence by marketing amongst us, perhaps the Peloton. In 2025, however, the can’t-miss gift is unquestionably the 7 DVD box set, “Dr. Gene Scott 95th Birthday Commemorative Edition : The Spiritual Nitro Pills” Currently marked down from $139.99 to a mere $59.99, ...
