19. Benie Mac's All Seeing Eyes

Like a doll's eyes....
Like a doll's eyes....

Listen to that sad sackery in the beginning! Also, get your lips away from that microphone, past me! Ugh!

A little bit about the separation of art and artist, name checking both Lovecraft and Scott Adams!

Fairly terrible song in the middle, from a scary song compilation that never went anywhere. I actually really like the solo on this one. Also, thanks to my friend Austin Cliffe for helping me record it and playing the autoharp, as well as speaking on the bridge. The middle of this song was pretty fun to record.

Finally, it's Jame Soup's DREAM CAMP!!! I love everything that man has ever touched.

18. How Can I Concentrate on these Mashed Potatoes!?

A handy distraction to stop you from constantly beating off!

Good god! The mouth noises!

A lot of these observations about college hold up in light of my recent experiences with that institution. Hell is other people and a lot of the time, I'm in a constant state of barely supressed rage!

The middle song is one of the best from my Master Wrench album, something I remain pretty proud of, despite some low points.

And I conclude this part of 88 Lines with Zak. It comes back later in the show and there's some talk of doing it for Duckfeed, so we'll see if that works out.

Dig in!

Dig in!

This is a defeated man right here. At this time, my mother had suffered a series of heart attacks. I didn't have enough energy to do a whole big thing, thus the lazy first part of this. Not lazy, I suppose, but this might be one of the signs of the show disolving. I'm desparately casting about for ways to promote the show, I'm name checking cross promotional stuff, etc. My plugs song never was chosen, sadly, nor my Jukebox Jury entry. Oh well!

The song in the middle is something I'm relatively happy with it. Short little EP you can find on my site.

Then I continue my lo fi talk with Zak about girls.

16. Just More Kung Fun

What a disappointment! 

What a disappointment! 

I'm a pretty big fan of this episode! Some ear wormy nonsense about "houses" in the beginning, a little bit called You Know What I Fuckin' Hate? that was going to be a recurring segment but never got repeated.

Then we have the first hot hot hit from The Metroids, a song called Make Way For The Nextmen.

Then, finally, a 3 part segment I did with my buddy Zak about love, romance and relationships! I sort of want to turn this into an actual show but who knows if that will happen. In retrospect, given that this predates my divorce, it's a little uneasy. Also, Zak's audio quality isn't exactly top of the pops. Oh well!

Oh! The place of many indignities! Jupiter's Thunder!
Oh! The place of many indignities! Jupiter's Thunder!

I'm balancing some serious and some silly here.

The first part is me recounting my experience with the NIU School Shooting a few years back, both in story form and in a song I wrote about it. I expand a bit about evil in the world, etc. High minded stuff for a podcast that later features a song called Pussystorm USA. That song is my favorite that a band I played with called The Midnite Snax. It's all about tension and release.

In the second half, I call in some guest stars to continue the saga of The Dungeon Mister. This will later get wrapped up and forms a pretty fun 3 part sketch thing. Thanks to Ryan Green and Mike Kitchell for their help!
