This episode marks a return to the classic format. No mp3s here, kids. Hence the 30 seconds of dead air at the beginning as the tape spools up, the crackling records, the skips, that cassette tuning sound that both Joe and myself are incredibly fond of (though neither of us understands precisely how it works).

Summary. Booze-blues, Stallone & Travolta together again, some pretty fantastic electronic Debussy tone poems, a Carradine, some soundtracks, random foreigners being bizarre and frighteningly un-American, some absolutely exhilarating Miami bass, and what are probably some of my stupidest, most profane, and possibly amusing mic breaks yet. It's maybe a little revealing that I consider it a major breakthrough that just jabbering like an idiot without a filter is a lot more natural and entertaining than trying to retain some semblance of dignity, poise, or wit.

In case any interested readers may have been snarkily remarking to themselves, "Christ, this blog is just this fucking loser pervert stealing images from Sankaku Complex and treating it like content," well... yeah. I know.

Maybe I can do something about it at some point. But for the moment, when my clicky finger's hovering, somehow Sankaku seems be beat all comers. Hands down.

But I'm aware of a need for variety. Or reprieve, at least.
