much as i would’ve loved to devote this week’s program to previewing all the hot stuff planned for Planatir’s SXSW showcase (which, unlike Shawn Carpetbagger’s much vaunted INFOWARS showcases, might actually exist) , there’s a slightly more ...

aside from the obvious (THIS FIFTH SEASON OF “INDUSTRY” IS TERRIBLE), you have no idea how much self-control was required not to type “it’s like equity punk never happened”.  But here we are, I’ve typed it, I’ve got no self control and ...

in honor of this program’s 300th episode, several of my devoted listeners pooled together cash from their paper routes and lemonade stands to purchase congratulatory Cameo calls from persons commonly associated with the number 300.  Sad...

Needles to say, I'm confused how an accredited fitness maven/administration simp like Triple H got cut out of the intense training session shown above, but OTOH the room doesn't look very big. Maybe your sweat lodge is more spacious, I really d...

good morning. I am sure you are all as mortified as I am by news reports of someone claiming to be a former member of Spacehog sending explicit, unsolicited pics of himself to persons who’ve mentioned Spacehog on their timelines.  <...

Last Friday's National Shutdown here in the USA raised a number of question that may or may not be answered in this week's program.  For starters, it is a (slight) shame none of the organizers saw fit to credit retired MLB veteran Derek Be...

with last week’s passing of longtime New Jersey cable fixture Florio Vivino aka Uncle Floyd, there’s been much said about Vivino’s comedic chops, his many celebrity patrons (including but not limited to David Bowie and Howard Stern) and the cou...

while other programs have done a wonderful (well, adequate in some cases) job of memorializing Bob Weir over the past week, I will instead leave you with the following words from Sleep Chamber’s John Zewizz that should really put everything int...

in recent times, the film world’s powers that be have mercifully decided that biographies chronicling the lives of nobodies like Freddie Mercury, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen are no longer necessary, instead trying to mollify us with the sag...

for the first (or second?) show of 2026, I regrettably need to preface the program with a couple of apologies. As opposed to the nearly half dozen apologies that proceed most weeks.for starters, I know I’d promised with great fanfare th...

i’ve been told there’s a lengthy essay in today’s NY Times, something along the lines of “Is Rock Dead : Maybe?”   I’ve neither the time or inclination to read such a piece, particularly as I’m already aware rock has been on life support f...

I’ve been asked once or twice, what, if anything, would i want to do MORE THAN ANYTHING to commemorate my 6100st birthday? I’ll admit, it was a difficult choice. Drive into the Comal Street's White Horse with a bulldozer? Visit the Turner Curli...

today’s program, the penultimate episode of 2025, was meant to be a full review and unboxing of the latest reissue of NME’s 1986 classic (?) ‘Unholy Death’ - a 7 LP + blu ray + coffee table book collection. Sadly, I misplaced my half dozen or s...

it’s been several years since I asked you, dear listeners, to join me in mourning for my dearly departed Amaré Stoudemire Skullkandy headphones. To recap, said cans sounded like SHIT, however they were glorious to look it. Sadly, they were also...

with each holiday season, there’s typically one or two highly coveted items that set up a frenzy amongst consumers, the-must-have-gift-of-the-year, if you will. The Furby. Nintendo Switch. For the well heeled and easily influence by marketing a...

as a few of you are probably aware, today’s NY Times has an extensive report cataloging recent signs of abject fatigue displayed by the current chief executive. While I am typically not in the habit of defending a charmless, thoroughly corru...

today’s show marks the 21st anniversary of what came to be known as “Malice At The Palace”, the (in)direct inspiration for Wizznuttz’ amazing reinterpretation of Picasso’s “Guernica”, aka “Aubernica”. For all the seismic changes the incident...

We live in times of GREAT UNCERTAINTY.  Who can say, for instance, if the charade we call democracy will even maintain the pretense for another 12 months?  If you’re lucky enough to afford to climb aboard an airplane, what guarante...

good morning friends, and as deeply encouraged many of us might be following last night’s mayoral election results in New York City, I remain cautiously hopeful that some day in the future there will be a major candidate for high office will...

with all due respect to my many friends and loved ones who deeply enjoy the occasion, this week’s program will not include a Halloween theme, Halloween music or any other sort of pandering, infantile bullshit designed to distract from the ongoi...

to quote Charlotte Caffey and Kathy Valentine, I am certain there are moments “"head over heels, to time to think / Looks like the whole world's out of sync” resonates deeply with each and every one of you. And that’s why I do this pro...

so none of my so-called friends thought it was worth mentioning that the National Crime Prevention Council’s ill-advised 1988 cassette, ‘McGruff’s Smart Kids Album’ had recently been reissued on multiple formats by some enterprising record labe...

if you’re like me (and I suspect a few of you are), you were surprised but hardly outraged at the NFL’s recent announcement that Bun E. Carlos would be headlining the Super Bowl halftime show next February.  Granted, a 15 minute drum so...

greetings friends, I nearly wasn’t able to complete this week’s episode after being diagnosed with a case of minor men’s whiplash acquired while reading the New York Times’ recent, “Is It OK To Use Your Phone On The Toilet?” article. Weirdly en...

this week’s planned Goner Fest preview was scrapped at the last minute in favor of a two hour roundtable (pizza) discussion concerning the mooted mid 1990’s merger of eco-cult Zendik Farm with purveyor of delicious (albeit highly processed) bak...
