Podcast 132 - Lifecasting Zombie-Style

  
(download)

Inane zombie-like late night ramblings in the middle of a crazy insomniac weekend. Not very relevant to anything or anyone but me.

But if you don't like it, don't listen to my most meaningless podcast ever.

lovehatepoetry - The Cremation of Sam McGee

Lovehatepoetry - The Cremation Of Sam Mcgee by Anthony Marco  
(download)

A dark twisted poem by Robert Service that I remember reading in school. The poem, along with a scan of the entire volume from 1907 is available in scanned book form (plus other formats) from the Public Domain juggernaut archive.org.

This is a bit different from what I usually do, so I hope you dig it.

thinglets: Cosmic Zoom - A "Trippy" Animated Short

via nfb.ca

Only the NFB could allow me to travel for millions of miles, hypnotically transfixed, from a rowboat to the galaxies to the atom to the rowboat... gently down the stream.

What a trip? Now if I just had a Chipwich to tide me over.

thinglets: H2Oil

A great series of short animated clips that show the dangers of rampant abuses of the Alberta Tar Sands and the dangers that Canada faces as a country if we allow our government to continue down this crude road.

Thanks to the creators for some great work and Vimeo for hosting some of the best videos on the web.

Podcast 130: The Golden Naked Man Phallus Awards

A searing indictment of all that is wrong with the Academy Awards and most other award presentations... and a further burning immolation of self-repugnance at the fact I'll probably watch.

Podcast 129 - The Everybody Happy New Canadian National Anthem

Lovehate Podcast 129 - The Everybody Happy New Canadian National Anthem by Anthony Marco  
(download)

After a two-day distraction to keep media outlets and the public sufficiently distracted from the Throne Speech and the Budget, the Tories plans to change the national anthem to make it gender-neutral have apparently evaporated. How transparent can media manipulation be. Any news outlet that printed the anthem change as anything but a distraction should be ashamed.

I, however, have not given up on the dream and have constructed a new national anthem to keep everyone happy. To hear my process and the result, you'll have to listen.

thinglets: Ladies and Gentlemen... Mr. Leonard Cohen

via nfb.ca

Another great gift via the nfb.ca website.

I've never been a huge fan of Leonard Cohen, but the stylish 45 year old look at one of Canada's most popular poets and performers was too cool to pass up. Beyond its examination of Cohen, it really gives viewers a sense of place and time in such a way that is esssential, and unfortunately often unique, to some of the great National Film Board content creators that we still enjoy today.

While I would never expect any to sit back and watch all 45 minutes, it is entertaining and engaging. And now you know where to find it.

Podcast 128 - Anth M Rips On The Anthem Misdirection

I cannot express how pissed off I am that the Canadian Speech from the Throne (kinda like the US State of the Union) lofted up a "distraction of the week" about changing the words to the anthem in order to deflect the shitty state we're in... and the media's biting!

But wait! I can express how pissed off I am... have a listen!

EDIT: Apologies for the Preponderance of Popping Ps. I was apParently more Pissed off that usual.
