Harriet Miers, the close friend of Bush’s who he nominated to join the supreme court, is ga-ga for Bushie!
These letters are pretty much conclusive proof of that, don’t ya think?

And serisously…this chick looks like the emperor from Star Wars, right? That can’t be a good sign. Last person you want on the supreme court is the Emperor…

Man, how the time flies. One year ago today I started this crazy ride. There will be some fun posts later today showing the history of the site. Hope you stop by later and check it out.

Thanks to everyone that comes by on a regular basis. Without you, it wouldn’t be nearly as fun as it is. Thanks to the site, I’ve made some good friends (Dan, Eeebs) and connections (Insomnia Radio) that I never would have otherwise. And the site has helped me keep in touch with old friends that are leagues away. I appreciated every comment and post you guys have made, and though I don’t respond to every one of them, I read and love them all (Except for Brie, Servant of Jesus and Geno*)

A big thanks to my buddy Mike. Without his constant tech assistance in the beginning, the site would be a heap of junk. He’s a good friend and a hell of a good guy.

And the biggest thanks go out to ‘Paloo, of course. It was her idea to start this site, and I am forever thankful for how supportive she’s been throughout the process. It truly wouldn’t be possible without her. I thank the heavens every day of my life for her. Not to mention that her posts and comments are fucking hilarious.

We’ve got some big things in store for year two. Just because I’ve been somewhat lax posting the last 3 weeks doesn’t mean I’ve been lax. Things are going to get better and better around this joint, and I hope you stick around for the ride.

And if you like the podcasts we have been putting out, well……you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Man. Let me tell you something about this show. I was…shall we say tanked? We shall. We shall indeed say tanked.

Thanks to several shots of BaronJager (not sure at which point several becomes many, so we’ll say several because it sounds better), this show is definitely not your garden variety podcast. I want to thank my lovely wife Julie, who stepped in to keep me in line. The show may be a mess, but it’s a fun mess. Without her it would have been a train wreck. (Oh, and Hot Nikks, I’m sure you figured it out, but I owe you some BaronJager…)

This is the second of a trilogy of themed shows. As the name implies, it is powered by Rock and BaronJager. This is a show to play while riding a motorcycle out of an airplane into a flaming skyscraper.**
I hope you enjoy.

The Artists:

I start the show off with the most rocktacular “I Believe” by Bomb Child. That song kicked my ass so much I have a giant bruise in the shape of a rock-boot on my ass. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

And, of course, you know it’s a sure bet I wouldn’t be playing a rock-themed show without playing The Thieves. “Gimme Some Lip” is my song of choice when playing Halo 2. Nothing’s says ass-kicking like that song.

Jeremy may only have three songs on their website, but those songs pack as much rock punch as…well, as the punch served backstage at an AC/DC concert. “Lose Control” is a great tune, and it has just been chosen to be in the video yearbook for Penn State University. Glad to see it getting the attention it deserves.

And lets hear it for The Brian Schram Band, eh? They’re from Michigan, so you know they’re awesome. Yup. That’s all it takes to be cool. Buy their CD. Buy it now. Then wait and buy their next one. You heard me. I played their excellent song “Waistline.”

The Dandelions are a great band from Sweden who I discovered by more or less accident. But thank god for that accident. The song I played is “On the 54″ and it is well worth your $.99 at itunes. So go there now and buy that shit.

Urbansnake, or UberSnake as I thought they were called when I first found them, is a hard-rock band from the Big Apple. And by Big Apple, I mean New York. Do you know why they call it the Big Apple? I bet you don’t. It involves whores and sex, and you can read the entire sordid tale, here. Nothing to do with Urbansnake, but interesting all the same. Their song, “Rise” is worth a repeat listen or two. While Juggling Chainsaws.

Let me tell you one thing. I love Ana Lovelis. Love her. Not in the way I love my wife. Not in the way I love a grilled cheese sandwich. But I love her music, and I love “Mother of a Hit Song.” And by god, if you don’t agree when you hear it, I don’t know what to say.

The Shapes came to me thanks to Podsafe NYC, one of many new websites that offers a growing selection of podsafe music for podcasters. The Shapes is a band I am becoming more and more fond of, and “Dreaming of an M-16″ is something I will be playing again and again and again.

I end the show with “Say what you will” by Chance. It is yet another great track by Chance, and the song of his that I feel most fits the theme of this show. If you have not yet bought one of his cds, what the fuck are you waiting for?? Get off your ass and do it now! And get ready to get knocked off your feet by the upcoming podcast of the Chance and the Choir concert on 10/9 that will be coming to you from no less than 30 podcasts (including my own, of course). I’ve listened to that damn concert 4 times now, and it gets better every time.

Color me jealous. Seriously jealous. Not only is this video of a monkey taunting a tiger great because I always like to see a monkey get away with shit, it’s also great to see how agile a monkey can be. I swear to god, it would be sweet to be able to jump around like that.

Well, one of the Monkeyfates have spoken…

So I bring you…

Monkeypup and Monkeyhead!!!

That is what you get for having monkeys trapped as lab test subjects, San Juan!!!

‘Nuff said, but you can read more about the exploits of the killer monkeys here!

Well, it was only a matter of time before science started producing super-monkeys. By super-monkeys, I don’t mean monkeys with super-powers (but god-damn that would rock!), but monkeys with super-animal intelligence. Of course many are against this, fearing the ethical dilemmas that would arise. Perhaps dilemmas such as realizing an monkey with a human-like brain shouldn’t be used as a lab animal?

An eminent committee of American scientists will call for restrictions into the research, saying the outcome of such studies cannot be predicted and may in fact produce subjects with a ’super-animal’ intelligence.

Two pet monkeys in Ohio escaped from their pen, one got caught right away but the other is still on the loose. The local sheriff is warning people to watch out for the little 3 foot tall terror as he is making a total fool of himself.
silly monkey

In 11 hours, my brother, the esteemed Monkeyhead, will be getting married. He’s been my best friend for as long as I can remember, and I couldn’t ask for a better brother. I just wanted to take this space to say:

The headline speaks for itself. The rest is just details. Click for them details.

So, before I begin mocking myself, can anyone tell me what this is? Or does everyone believe I have totally lost it with the lack of sound sleep that has plagued my existence these last few days? OR…whatever other theory that you want to throw in.
