Does anyone remember how embarassing it was when you’d get turned into a baby in Mortal Kombat 2…such a strike to your pride let me tell you. As a man who has been reprimanded for littering by what we call here, “The five-oh” (some of you might be familiar with them). It’s a tough call to make…pick up garbage on the street for 8 hours, or slap a piece of Japanese, preteen, pop culture on to your shoulder and not be able to justify it to your peers. “Yeah man, that…that was for singlehandedly breaking up the Yakuza…what…you didn’t hear about it? Yeah, that was me. No you can’t touch it.”
Our Tribute to Vinyl show is up! It includes an interview with Chris Jacobs from Sub Pop, who discusses with Fernando their upcoming vinyl/mp3 hook-up. Vinyl lovers, it’s o.k. to admit you can’t live without the mp3s–Sub Pop knows what you need. And, apparently a lot of other labels do, too. Included in this first show are some burning questions, like: Why is green considered horny? Hash:weed as- a)beer:vodka or b)absolute:seagrams? What is a hyperbolic chamber? Who cares about Liza Minnelli? What the hell is the name of the cartoon dragon from that old Disney animation and live action film? And, of course, are Lite-Brites now considered a terrorist threat???? Hopefully you can help us out.
