Hey Mr DJ: Scien-tastic Edition

June 13, 2013 11:00 pm

by

Not sure if anyone else is keeping up with the new season of The Venture Brothers, but it is one of only three reasons I even bother owning a television. On its own, it’s a great source of music thread material. The chief “villain” is David Bowie and Dr. Venture draws his greatest inspiration from progressive rock, after all. But what really drives the show is Super Science. All of the origin stories, … Read more

Hey Mr DJ: Poor Customer Service Edition

June 6, 2013 11:00 pm

by

I got a text message from my cell phone provider last week. It said that my corporate discount was due for review and I needed to confirm that I was still employed by the company that had the agreement with the service provider. There was even a helpful (so I thought) phone number to call and a web address to visit.

Easy enough. I started off by calling the phone number. Who I got was … Read more

John Dryden Day

June 2, 2013 1:30 pm

by

This week, I was inspired by this conversation to finally declare that we must assert our Constitutional rights against the most tyrannical force in our own lives. That’s right: our employers.

The time has come to honor the noble sacrifice of John Dryden. Even though he wasn’t a lawyer or terribly familiar with state and federal law regarding the handling of public school students’ confidential records, he appointed himself as legal counsel right then … Read more

Hey Mr DJ: Culture Clash Edition

As some of you know, I’m very interested in Generational Theory as described in The Fourth Turning by Strauss & Howe. The intricacies of their writings are a bit too much to detail here, but as early as 1997 they clearly saw what we were heading for. The future they predicted is happening now and it is as bad as they thought. In fact, worse is coming. Much worse. We cannot stop it, but we … Read more

Hey Mr DJ: Sing-A-Long Edition

May 23, 2013 11:00 pm

by

There I was: reading an online article about the Oklahoma tornado just a couple of hours after the tornado passed through earlier this week. It described how two elementary schools had been hit and I thought, “Oh, no. Not that. That is depressing.”

Then I stupidly scrolled down to the comments section.

Christians who called for prayer were chided by atheists for supporting a god who kills kids. Pro-gun conservatives behaved like shits and asked … Read more

Hey Mr DJ: Perversion Edition

May 16, 2013 11:00 pm

by

If, like me, you were stunned by the horrific events in Cleveland involving those kidnapped girls, you would not believe the week I have had. I can’t go into much detail, but serious acts of sexual misconduct occurred at my workplace AND my wife’s by sheer coincidence–completely unrelated to one another. In our own lives and involving people we know, it’s a true horror show. The consequences are front-and-center in our minds.

Is the world … Read more

Hey Mr DJ: Scooter Libyan Edition

May 9, 2013 11:00 pm

by

Most esoteric title ever. I kind of hurt myself on that one.

Shut up.

This week, Congress finally got to hear testimony from the Benghazi whistleblowers. Conservatives view the many questionable aspects of why Stevens was in Benghazi, why the Administration may have refused to rescue the annex staff, and why the Admininstration sent its minions to lie about a stupid YouTube video for a few weeks as a full-blown scandal that may finally destroy … Read more

How about something different this week? Next week will be cool, I promise. Maybe.

Grab your iPhone, log onto Spotify, turn on your 8-track player, listen to your favorite radio station, or do whatever the hell it is you do when you want to listen to music. Choose “shuffle” and press play. Pull up the songs that play and post the YouTube videos (if you can find them there).

Give me a list of the … Read more

Hey Mr DJ: Bassist Desires Edition

April 25, 2013 10:15 pm

by

Is it indeed true that the bassist only tries to look like he’s working as hard as the rest of the band? I don’t think so.

In fact, much of the music I enjoy the most has a notably strong bassline to it. I love the low tones, for some reason. To me, the bass guitar is a wondrous instrument.

This topic came to me a couple of weeks ago when Chi Cheng, the … Read more

A Quick Thought on The End of The Boston Saga

April 19, 2013 10:43 pm

by

Something just feels right about this outcome.

I don’t mean to sympathize with the devil, but in the end; this was a 19 year old kid who was likely over-influenced by his radical older brother to do some truly horrific ill shit.

At the climax, he was a scared, bleeding, and cold stupid kid. All alone. The law enforcement personnel who came to stop him had every right to kill him…and they didn’t. His peaceful … Read more
