When culture gets overinflated, yet refuses to pop, I want to be there with the needle. Enlightened cynics of the world unite! Express your love or hatred of things from the sacred to the mundane.
By the way, there's a good chance any podcast you listen to may have language not suitable for children. If you don't want to take a chance on hearing the occasional f-bomb, don't listen.
I'm certainly not an aficionado of electronica. I kind of like most of it, but it rarely blows me away. This much is true in the soundtrack to inter // states video by Woob. The video however, is something to behold. Absolutely beautiful. I almost want to mashup some old Philip Glass below it and chant Koyaanisqatsi. A beautiful job by Samuel Cockedey. Check it out in HD fullscreen: awesome!

A debriefing on my national radio lovehate on the Q podcast, my days in the life before and after, and how I didn't let vitriol get the best of me. My segment was probably the least interesting to the artsy folk listening in... well, I might have held my own on the baseline with Andrew Agassi who was on after.
If you'd like to hear me take up the NO torch on Students and Teachers and Facebook - oh my! - here's a link for you to enjoy: Q: The Podcast - 07 09 10.
I realize that many of you probably don't share my political views and many of you that were raised to hate unions as socialist or communist. Maybe you just got stuck in a bad situation within a union - after all, union leaders aren't infallible.
When I was younger, I could think of little reason to join a union or care about one. As I got older, however, I pondered some thoughtful considerations over the fact that a whole bunch of people doing pretty well is better than one person achieving on the backs of others.
I get that you may still not like it, but even if you just get moved by a good protest song now and then, here's a Billy Bragg classic version of "There is Power in a Union" to remind you all of us "commie bastards" are about to overthrow the world and make your kids listen to rock and roll.
Happy Labour Day everyone!

A friend wanted a "love" podcast instead of a "hate" podcast. When that idea comes up, my thoughts always turn to music. To hear about the fortuitous rediscovery of this gem, have a listen to Episode 193!

If I was Wired or the LA Times or FOXNews or the Wall Street Journal, etc., I'd call my podcast journalism. Such is the very reason journalism is dead.
NOTE: Learn why MAY is a three letter obscenity.
