Monday Morning Aural Sex: 2020-03-23 (Quarantine'n'Chill Edition)

Monday Mar 23, 2020
Mothafuckaphobes and mothafuckaphiliacs! Gelatin square tomcats and giant mutant carrots named George! Welcome (because now I’m tired of emoclew) to the Quarantine’n’Chill Edition of Monday Morning Aural fuckin’ Sex! Contrary to the note of levity in the title, I am indeed taking this crisis seriously. I haven’t worked in over a week, and my anxiety is building like the fuckin’ Burj Khalifa over how I’m supposed to meet my bills on the 1st when I’m fuckin’ terrified of working right now considering I do ridesharing and being in such close proximity with someone who was just in a potentially (maybe, just maybe) crowded area like a goddamn airport… Yeah.
Even if I just drove people around town, I have no idea what precautions, if any, these people have taken. The whole thing is fuckin’ fucked, perverts, and the politicians are still arguing over whether or not to let us live… I really wonder what’s gonna be enough for us to put aside all the petty bullshit that separates us, unify to overthrow this fuckin’ oligarchy, and live some sort of future in whatever’s left after shit gets really ugly. I can dream, can’t I? To be honest, it’d probably have to be a fuckin’ cataclysm so ruinous that there’s just no way for society to patch the holes fast enough. As bad as things are right now, I know how much worse things could get. I genuinely hope it doesn’t get to that point, just as much as I genuinely hope we figure out unity at some point. Maybe we’re a hopeless species. I don’t want to believe that, and even though there’s ample justification for the feeling, there are too many variables right now for it to be accurate to any significant measure.
But yeah, as far as quarantining goes, I know it’s hard on pretty much all of us except those with savings enough to weather a crisis this severe. I haven’t yet been able to regain very much at all of the money I gathered for my credit card payments, but I’m trying my hardest to not traipse aimlessly into despair, or be shoved into it. Speaking of which, my condolences go out to Paul Grisafe’s loved ones for their recent loss. He was always a nice guy to me, and I enjoyed his company the handful of times I hung out with him.
Anyway, because I haven’t been driving this week, I didn’t devote as much time to searching through new music. I should have, but honestly, my attention has been yanked in so many goddamn directions over the past week with all this coronavirus news, and mostly I just forgot. Ergo, there are only about 10 or 11 brand new tracks on today’s list. Worry not, however. The old tracks are ones are from past podcasts and my vast digital library. It’s kind of crazy how much time I used to devote to expanding my digital music library. I guess I got to feeling a bit confined by the remainder of space on my HDDs, and the fact that buying new hard drives isn’t much of a priority right now.
I guess it’s still technically a digital library on Spotify, and even though there are extra steps to expanding my personal library that way, it’s a much, MUCH larger library than mine. I give credit where credit’s due, perverts. I could never compete with them, especially since the ID3tags on so much of my shit are fucked up. Not to the point where you have no idea what you’re listening to 99% of the time or anything, but there isn’t nearly as much uniformity as I’d like because, well, I’m only one fuckin’ person, and I don’t have that much time to go through all my shit that way. Not to mention that a good portion of my shit is unsearchable on the internet, so I’d just be making shit up for my shit, motherfuckin’ shitting shitter.
Soooo, let’s discuss a bit about the tracks we’ll be hearing…
You know what? After looking over the tracklist, I think most of it is self-explanatory. Oh, except that I just mentioned giving credit where credit’s due, and I should credit my dear friend Casey for kicking my ass into gear and listening to SKYND. Very cool shit, and I’m looking forward to listening to more. Honestly, after listening to that track for only a few seconds, I was a fan. Perhaps you will be, too. I hope you become a fan of all this shit, ‘cause if you don’t, then you’re not yojneing to your full potential, and that’s just fuckin’ sad. Crank up the goddamn yojne, motherfuckerinos!

Monday Morning Aural Sex: 2020-03-16 (Be The Change Edition)
Monday Mar 16, 2020
Monday Mar 16, 2020
Merry fuckin’ Monday, vertpers and perverts! Emo-fuckin’-clew to the Be The Change Edition of Monday Morning Aural Sex! What could that title possibly mean? Well, sit fuckin’ tight and I’ll explain. Surely you’re all familiar with the quote that’s (actually mistakenly) attributed to Gandhi, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” That’s basically what this is about. First of all, let’s review the piece Gandhi did write that comes close to that quote:
“We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do.”
Solid enough, right? Well, some of you may not know, but Gandhi had actually quite a number of not-so-honorable qualities such as racism and sexual misconduct. There are a number of articles about it on Google, so look ‘em up if you’re ever curious. Regardless of how the reality of him was inconsistent with the mystique of wisdom and moral authority ascribed to him during his life and especially posthumously, there’s still ample value in the idea of being the change we wish to see in the world.
Many of you have been suffering my frequent political posts over the past few weeks, no doubt. Truly, I wouldn’t be bothering with all that if I didn’t strongly feel like we all have a shot at a better future with Bernie Sanders. I spoke in the edition posted two weeks ago about my own reasons for supporting him, but my god, there are so many reasons beyond those which would benefit me. It’s absolutely bananas to me that anyone has to try so hard to sell people on ideas like guaranteed healthcare, education, rapid reform in regards to climate change, etc., but I digress.
This isn’t meant to be a political edition, even though it does have a couple politically-charged songs. Even if Bernie ends up not being the nominee, the absolute worst thing we can do is despair back to apathy. Apathy is a cancer, and frankly, a luxury almost none of us can afford any longer. I say that we all need to get more involved with local elections. I say that we all need to get more involved in our communities. It’s so easy to be pessimistic and/or cynical. Believe me, I know it through and through. It’s a daily struggle for me probably much like it is for many of you. The most damning thing is that frame of mind is the most conducive to the stability of the current power structure that keeps all our necks under the boot of greed and myriad other awful bullshit to which greed gives way.
Greed is one of the biggest things that separates us from each other, making us believe that (at best) we can only ever look out for ourselves. Listen, speaking as someone who has a long history of being betrayed and treated like utter garbage, I can tell you that even our best efforts sometimes yield no results, or at least none like those we feel our best efforts should yield. Some people really are just utter shit, and life is too short to try reforming all of them. You’ve just got to say a little prayer, flip a lil’ bird and be on your merry fuckin’ way.
So, maybe you tried being the change, and you got shattered. So have I, perverts and pervettes. I’ve been shattered so many times, I don’t know how the pieces keep coming back together to resemble anything like anyone I once was, but they fuckin’ do somehow. Perhaps it’s just that I’m well aware of the cycle of abuse being the sick reality it too frequently is. The abused will abuse, and so on, and fuckin’ so on. It has to stop somewhere, so why not with you? Why not rise above the piss poor examples shown to you and be the polar opposite? Why not at least attempt to inspire others? Shit, if in your perspective the world is far too great a scale in which to be any particularly significant change, be the change you wish to see in your household. Be it in your own heart. Be it in your own mind. If you take the time to do that work on your interior, and you conduct yourself with respect and compassion throughout your life, you will eventually see results. Maybe even revolution… *gasp*
That last bit was a political allusion, but nonetheless a pretty firm assessment, in my opinion. So, you might be curious what I’m doing to be the change. Well, how ‘bout this fuckin’ podcast for starters? Case in point, it’s now 3PM EST, and I’ve been awake for damn near 24 hours now due to a variety of stupid shit. I’m even more fuckin’ exhausted than I usually am when I’m doing this, and yet here I am doing it just to ATTEMPT to share some sweet fucktacularity with all your tender little ear holes. Furthermore, do you perverts realize that I spend $240 annually to host this shit on Podbean? I’ve been spending that amount (or close to it) since January of 2012. I’m not tryin’ to brag or lament that; just sayin’ that’s how much I care about the attempt (the ATTEMPT) to share awesome music with you.
Sure, I could probably find some free method somewhere somehow. I could just post individual songs on my social media stories or feeds, yadda yadda. This podcasting effort feels more effective and appropriate to my goals of simply making mixes for my own yojnement and that of any beautifully curious souls who choose to join me for any little while. I truly love any and all of you who’ve listened to me even for a minute, despite the fact that I don’t do this for anyone’s validation. That was something I used to get hung up on because it often felt so lonely finding all this wonderful music that fulfilled me so profoundly, spurring me on to new discoveries, experiences, insights and appreciations, and yet feeling like I had no one in my life who cared.
Let me just say that the world feels pretty fucking small from the silent darkness of your room. It feels even smaller when you have depression bearing down on you year in, year out. You’ve gotta realize that so much of our darkness is nothing but a wretched series of misperceptions. I’ve gone as far to call them flat out lies, because that’s often what my logic has proven them to be. If you find yourself wrapped up in feelings that the world is fucked, no one gives a shit, I challenge you to step outside. Step outside and go somewhere you’ve never been. Discover something new, and the more you do that, the more you see how your depression shrinks your own life around you like a fuckin’ encroaching abyss, and that it’s just not all that accurate to think that way. Again, the more you work on your interior, the more likely it’ll be that you see an improvement on your exterior.
Any-fuckin’-way, whatch’y’all say I quit my fuckin’ yammering already and we get on with the yojne, hmm? Whatch’y’all say ‘bout ‘dat?! I know whatch’y’all’d say:
“Um, okay. Whatever.”
No, I don’t. I don’t know whatch’y’all’d say. I just know what I hope, and what I hope above all hopes is that you simply. fuckin’. yojne…

Monday Mar 09, 2020
Up what’s, motherfuckerettes y motherfuckerinos? Emo-goddamn-motherfuckin’-nun-cunt-sniffin’-clew to another Monday Morning Aural fuckin’ Sex! This week, oh my, I have an incredibly special edition for you. This week, we have both another installment of the All-Star Series and a memorial edition for The Prodigy and Keith Flint respectively. Last week marked one year since Keith Flint made the decision to leave this sad, little world of ours behind. Perverts, I’m sure most of you know my history with suicide and how profoundly devastated I’ve been by it. Keith Flint doing what he did really hit me hard, not just because he did it and no doubt threw countless souls into horrendous despair, but also because I’ve loved The Prodigy for over 20 years.
I’ve been a HUGE fan of theirs for over 2 goddamn decades, and I actually managed to get tickets for their show in NYC that was scheduled for June of last year. As far as I know, they haven’t toured the states very much at all since the mid-to-late 90s when their album, “Fat of the Land,” was at its peak popularity, so I was geeked as 10 fucks on a bicycle built specifically for 2 fucks and 2 fucks only. I was FINALLY gonna see them live. I was FINALLY gonna get to experience their show along with a whole group of my friends, and then it happened… To say my disappointment was absolute would be an understatement, as I don’t think I’ll ever be okay with it. It’s just one of those fucking gaping voids in my heart that I just have to live with now.
See, whereas most people only know The Prodigy for their popular singles like Smack My Bitch Up, Firestarter, Breathe (all on the same fuckin’ album, by the fuckin’ way), I actually have love for each and every Prodigy album. Different amounts for different albums, but they’re all Prodigy albums, so even the mediocre tracks get a pass. The fucked up thing is that the mediocre tracks are very, very few and far between, in my opinion. I could go (and frequently have gone) on and on, extolling the virtues of this Prodigy album or track versus another. The Prodigy’s influence on my life runs deep, perverts.
For example, Keith Flint’s dual-hawk haircut, I knew a kid in my middle school who had that haircut. I immediately thought he must be cool if he could somehow rock such a peculiar hairstyle, and during one of the nights I hung out with him at his place, his dad put on Insane Clown Posse. That’s right. Albeit very, very indirect, and I no doubt would have discovered ICP through some other avenue at some point, The Prodigy assisted me in my discovery of a group that would prove to be yet another of my all-time favorites. The Prodigy was pretty much the first electronic group I paid attention to. Up until that point, I had been fixated primarily on heavy metal and anything similar. The Prodigy, with their big beat sound, helped bridge the gap and opened up doors of curiosity I didn’t even know I had yet to open.
I have no doubt in my mind that many of you were as enamored by those Fat of the Land singles as I was. I’m sure most of you still rock Smack My Bitch Up, Firestarter and/or Breathe from time to time. The thing is that I loved those tracks and music videos so much that I went further into their world, discovering their previous albums and having my tastes challenged by the diverse electronic sounds therein. Experience was definitely the more challenging of the two, simply because I was too young in the early 90s to be present in the rave music scene, and by the time I got to it, it sounded pretty primitive to me. The thing is that I didn’t dismiss it, because it still bore the highly credible Prodigy name, and I was therefore inclined by the respect I have for them to keep my mind open to it. You see? The Prodigy actually helped me establish one of my most thoroughly useful practices in music appreciation that has pushed me to discover and form love for so, SO many different styles of music. Do you perverts have any idea the debt of gratitude I have to Liam, Maxim and Keef? Do you even give 847/3rds of a squirrel turd? I guess that would be many, many squirrel turds, so most likely not. Unless you’re some kind of freak who collects squirrel turds… Fuckin’ freak. Why can’t you be normal like me? Haha.
Anyway, yet another way The Prodigy helped me broaden my horizons was through the Hackers soundtrack. My 90s kid perverts might remember the cheesiness that was that early Jonny Lee Miller, Angelina Jolie, Matthew Lillard movie. That soundtrack was pure fuckin’ lava, and The Prodigy’s two contributions granted legitimacy to all the rest of the tracks on the album. I know it’s flawed logic, I know that there are plenty of compilations that have utterly shit tracks amidst the lava, but that was the way I approached that soundtrack because I loved The Prodigy so much. That drove me to discover Underworld, Stereo MCs, and Leftfield among others. The Spawn soundtrack, mind you, that one didn’t need The Prodigy’s help. The Prodigy & Tom Morello’s track, “One Man Army,” (which I just discovered is the vocal version of another track called, “No Man Army,”) is great and all, but the Spawn soundtrack was/is loaded with lava already just from first glance at the tracklist. If you don’t know that album, oh man, you are fuckin’ missing out.
Anyway, moving on… I imagine many of you perverts may be surprised to hear this, but Keith Flint actually recorded a solo album under the name Flint. Unfortunately, it hasn’t ever seen a proper release, but there was a video made for the track Aim4, and Razor appeared on The Prodigy’s greatest hits compilation. It sucks, ‘cause there are actually promo copies that circulated around when it was recorded, but those motherfuckers are now worth hundreds of fuckin’ dollars on Discogs.com. Promo copies! These are things that aren’t even supposed to be sold anywhere, which probably ups their value even more. I have no idea what the album sounds like, honestly. If we’re going by the two tracks, “Aim4,” and, “Razor,” then it might be a pretty fuckin’ awesome album. I’ve actually considered making a petition to Liam and Maxim to somehow obtain the rights so it can be released posthumously. Maybe even donate some of the profits to a mental health charity or something, with the rest going to his family.
Here I fucking go again with my long-ass intros. Let me try to wrap this shit up. I think I’ve said all that needed saying for the moment except for these tidbits regarding specific tracks:
1. I made an executive fucking decision to exclude the original versions of the commonly-known singles. Honestly, why the fuck would you be listening to a podcast like mine if all you’re trying to hear are some singles you already know you love? Have I not made it crystal fuckin’ clear to you motherfuckers yet that I’m trying to get you to expand your fuckin’ heads? Broaden your horizons? Tear your fuckin’ minds open, even? Listen, I did include remixes of those tracks. They’re excellent fuckin’ remixes, and while they may or may not be even better than the originals, they deserve some goddamn love.
2. Some tracks, I’ve actually included two versions. The Day Is My Enemy, for example. I fuckin’ LOVE, like, hump a motherfuckin’ doorknob, LOOOOOOVE that track. I love the fuck out of every remix I’ve heard of it, and I actually JUST discovered the Bad Company remix a few hours ago on my drive home. That track is fuckin’ nuclear lava. That shit is fuckin’ planet destroying, and you’re about to find out what I mean. BUT! But, I couldn’t just leave out the Caspa remix because I fuckin’ LOOOOVE that version as well. I stopped short of including the original and the Liam re-work because, fuck, I had to stop somewhere.
3. This edition is another one over 4 fuckin’ hours long. Suck it up, buttercup. We’ve got at least a thousand metric fucktons of epic fucktacularity in store for us this week, so maybe just deal with it. Maybe even yojne it. Stranger things have happened.
4. There is a remastered version of Music for the Jilted Generation, but the tracks I chose from that album are from the original version simply because I assumed nobody would notice or care, and it was more convenient for me to just drag and drop the original versions from my own library. In the interest of full transparency, not to mention my own rampant fuckin’ music perversion and enthusiasm for The Prodigy, I wanted to tell you so at least you know. The remastered versions do sound better, so if you yojne the originals, definitely check out the remasters as well.
5. For anyone who might be curious about the Marilyn Manson track, that’s there because that’s fuckin’ Keith doing the vocals! Yup, they apparently got together and Keith did his own rendition of Manson’s mOBSCENE. Pretty nifty fuckin’ shit right there.
6. On the subject of Keith, and the reason why this edition is so long, I tried to include pretty much every track on which he does the vocals. There are numerous tracks on this edition that he actually had nothing to do with, but I included them anyway because by and large, Keith was/is the face of The Prodigy. I’ve got nothing but love for Liam and Maxim, but I’m pretty certain it was Keith’s image during the Fat of the Land years that cemented them in the psyches of most of the people who remember them fondly today. That’s why this is a combination All-Star Series and memorial edition. It would be a considerably shorter podcast if I used only the tracks on which Keith was credited, and Keith was primarily a dancer during the early years of the group. So, even though he didn’t write or do vocals on all that much, he was still integral to the group’s image and live performances.
With all that fuckin’ said… Perverts, it is now the time in which the commencement of yojnement occurs, incredibly! Or else…

Monday Morning Aural Sex: 2020-03-02 (Why I Support Bernie Sanders Edition)
Monday Mar 02, 2020
Monday Mar 02, 2020
Emoclew one and all loveliest of lovely perverts to another Yadnom and another Yadnom Gninrom Larua Xes. Okay, no more of that stupid shit. Hi there! Welcome to the Why I Support Bernie Sanders Edition! *sigh* Okay, right from the get-go, I can already feel the hate. Beats the fuckin’ shit out of me why, though. As far as I’ve researched (and believe me, that’s no small amount), he best exemplifies my own values. What are my values, you may ask? Compassion, for one. Compassion for my fellow man, no matter how strange (for the most part). Red or blue, Republican or Democrat, I think we can all agree that pedophiles should be executed in the streets, so there’s no point in squandering compassion on them.
Bernie is literally the only politician I’ve ever seen in my 25 years of being politically-aware who seems to actually care about his fellow man, and though I can’t claim anywhere near as much activism as him, I care about my fellow man as well. Let’s go back further, though. Even though I grew up in a pretty lily-white suburb, one of my first best friends was a black kid. Race wasn’t even a consideration back then, and to the best of my knowledge at the time, that’s just the way the world was. Race didn’t matter. Oh my, how horrendously wrong I turned out to be, but my friendship with him was what solidified that perspective in me. Now, to see so much division being sown day after month after year, it’s just so fucking exhausting and infuriating in equal measure.
It’s made even worse by the knowledge that I can’t do much about it except fight it however possible wherever I find it, but it feels like an endless game of fuckin’ Whac-A-Mole. I can’t even imagine how exhausting and infuriating it is for my friends of color who experience it themselves on a day-to-day basis. So, yeah, that’s one reason in particular that I support Bernie. I’m still scratchin’ my head tryin’ to figure out why Biden won the South Carolina primary. I’m sure it was a number of things that just worked in his favor, and while I’m happy for him to some extent because it’s supposedly the first primary contest he’s won in his three attempted presidential campaigns, when I listen to him speak, I still feel like he’s not saying very much at all. Bernie spits facts & figures, and Biden kinda just drools ambiguities. I really don’t think he has much of a shot against resident Cheeto.
Anyway, my support for Bernie isn’t completely selfless. As I said in my 2020 video blog, I’m absolutely drowning in student debt, and will be for the next 14 fucking years unless I start making payments of $350/mo. I can’t even afford. What’s even more fun about that is that over the course of those 14 years, I’ll have doubled the principle amount of the loan in capitalized interest. Isn’t that fun? I think that’s fun. That’s fun, right? Yeah, so anyway, there’s also my lack of health insurance. No vision insurance, either. I do have dental insurance, but it’s fucking dogshit. They only pay for $1200 worth of procedures in any given year, and it’s usually like a 60/40 split favoring me, but it’s still a pretty hefty amount of fuckin’ money considering the kinds of shit I need done.
I know, you’re thinking, “Fuck you, guy! What, you already got life, and now you want health, too?! Who the fuck do you think you are?” Listen, I don’t think it’s partisan in any fuckin’ way to desire a healthy life; I don’t think it’s too much to want some sort of stable future. I’m pretty sure even the staunchiest of staunch right-wingers wants to have a healthy life. The biggest difference between us is who we feel deserves life at all. Me, I think most living people deserve life, with one notable exception being anyone willing to kill and/or rape others due to a horrifically distorted worldview. That’s another thing! Mental. Goddamn. Health. Care.
Perverts… I talked about my desire to talk to a psychotherapist on my 2020 video. Fortunately, it’s not an urgent need right now, but I’ve got to imagine that my life would have had far fewer rough fucking edges had I been financially capable of receiving psychotherapy at any point in my life. Do you have any fucking idea how many accumulated days worth of time that I’ve spent trying to untangle fuckin’ mental knots by myself? Do you have any idea how much it hurt every day feeling like I couldn’t talk to anyone because I felt like I made everyone uncomfortable and/or confused with my problems? Frankly, I got lucky in being able to emerge from so much pitch fucking blackness with my life mostly intact. Way too many people aren’t so lucky, however, and I fucking miss one of them every goddamn day. It’s been almost 9 years, and I still miss her every goddamn day.
Those are some other reasons that seem pretty valid to me. Maybe they’re not to you, I don’t know. I don’t think it’s right that we had to have a fundraiser for my father only a month or so before he died to try and raise money for the outstanding medical bills he incurred as a result of a pre-leukemic blood condition he got, leading to two bone marrow transplants, countless platelet infusions and a month-long stay in the hospital. I mean, my stories seem fuckin’ tame as all fuck compared to the innumerable stories others have around this country, but the pain is just as real for each of us.
If all that’s not enough, I’ve also been feeling tightness in my chest lately, but obviously I can’t go get anything checked due to my lack of insurance. So, if I suddenly stop releasing podcasts, ya might wanna check in with me to see if I’m dead. I don’t want to die, perverts; I just need life to get better. I need to feel like there’s something to look forward to, something fulfilling. Not just for me, but for all of us, even those with whom I disagree. Again though, criminally insane people are exceptions to that rule. But yeah, death doesn’t seem like such an unwelcome alternative to 14+ years of debt slavery.
Even though I’m well-aware there’s a middle ground, I don’t think it’s right that America prides itself so thoroughly on so many things, and yet also callously lets its homeless and hungry freeze and starve. It lets its students sink or swim in fucking oceans of debt. It lets its sick (sometimes) be treated only to then be driven into bankruptcy for having been treated. These are so-called radical notions of basic human decency that have far too fucking long gone ignored in favor of shameless, endless fucking greed. These things display an utterly egregious lack of empathy which make me ashamed of my country. I know, “Love it or leave it,” right? If only the early American colonists had the modern-day rhetoric we suffer from the blithering fucking troglodytes of today…
Anyway, I’ll spare you anymore snowflakey libtard anecdotes for now. Let me tell you a bit about what we’ve got in store for this week’s edition:
1. A metric fuckton of Rage Against The Machine and related side-projects. Why? Well, fuckin’ duh. I’m sure it’s a little too obvious for some of you, and I’m sure there are loads of you who’re upset with Rage themselves for the outlandish fuckin’ ticket prices we’ve been seeing for this upcoming tour. I don’t know whose fault that is, or to what degree. All I know is that I felt energized as 50 fucks in a 5 fuck bucket when I saw them co-headline the Rock The Bells show with Wu-Tang Clan on Randalls Island in NYC back in summer of ’07. The crowd was so fuckin’ amped up, I got this vision in my head of all of us marching on Washington that very night. Obviously, that’s silly as fuck and it didn’t happen, but it was still fun to imagine.
2. The two tracks called Rumble are a tribute to Michael Moore and his podcast also called… What the fuck do you think? Rumble! If you perverts haven’t listened to it yet, I highly recommend it. Shit, even if you have listened to it, I’ll highly recommend it. I’ll fuckin’ sneak in your house while you’re asleep and dive into your melons like fuckin’ Inception and recommend it so when you wake up, you think it was your own fuckin’ idea. How ‘bout that shit, hmm? He’s already had over 5,000,000 downloads, and he’s only 40 something episodes in. His podcast is one of the main reasons I even bother listening to podcasts other than my own. Even better, it’s not cluttered with a bunch of bullshit ads. Say and think what you want about him, I’ve always profoundly admired and respected him, even so far back as his movie, “The Big One,” from the mid-90s, so I wanted to pay tribute.
3. A lot of these tracks are gems that I’ve played numerous times across the lifespan of this podcast. There are a few making their debuts, but frankly, this one was pretty fuckin’ easy to compile. It’s a little over 4 hours long, and at some point, I just had to put blinders on to get the tracks I felt most deserved to be here. I definitely could have gone on and on and fuckin’ on. I know, I’m too much.
Aaaaand, with that… wenowyojne!
