12.15.06 by Widge @ 8:48 am  Sloshing through the swamp of pop culture so you don't have to. We bring you ideas for how to waste your weekend. Of course, special thanks go out to Clutch for letting me use their absolutely badass song, "Promoter (of earthbound causes)" as my theme music for this. Buy Blast Tyrant, which is where you can find "Promoter". Buy their latest album, Pitchforks and Lost Needles. Send them love and coin. Also thanks to James Underberg, whose "The Moods of Man" bit of film score was available on PodSafe Audio and we snagged it for use in the intro. BTW, you iTunes subscriber types can nab this feed here. Or if you want to do something else with it, the feed feed is here. Categorized as: Books and DVD and Music and Podcasts and Recommendations

12.12.06 by Widge @ 9:41 am Tom Waits celebrated a birthday on December 7th, which we were negligent in celebrating, despite Prof. Gallaher giving us the nod. So happy birthday, Tom. We'd give you a scary birthday clown but I doubt there are any you haven't already met and gone drinking with. Categorized as: Music and Stimuli

12.03.06 by Widge @ 12:33 am  One of the high points of my career in local theatre was playing Claude in a production of Hair. It was a hell of a lot of fun and I don't think I embarrassed myself anymore than I normally did on stage. So it is as a member of a cast of the show that I offer up to you the weirdest thing you will hear this week: a cast recording of the 1971 cast in Japan that WFMU posted. And once your eyelashes stop aching, you can check out their other star musical offerings: Japanese Jesus Christ Superstar, including a Judas that screeches when he can't hit the notes, and the Norwegian Rocky Horror Picture Show, including "En Hip Transvestitt," where the singer sounds like he's having waaay too much fun. That latter one actually sounds like it would be fun to watch, honestly. Categorized as: Music

10.28.06 by Widge @ 4:25 pm Note: The mixdown was screwed up. Let's try this again. At about 12 minutes again, an old episode "intruded" into this one. If you are seeing this note in your iTunes or feed, you're probably okay. If you have two files downloaded, kill the older one. Sorry for the fuck up. I blame poltergeists.
