Because it's really two hours long. Sometimes even longer. How long a musical journey would you go on without having replaced the windshield blades?

    02/25/26 Show 300 : In Lieur of Flowers, Please Send Cash

    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.  Sadly, thespian powerhouse Gerard Butler (fig 1) turned down the gig saying he couldn’t get into the character.  Widely decorated pro bowler and DX acolyte Pete Weber also blew us off, claiming the provided script was too sexually explicit.  If this wasn’t discouraging enough, how f*****g crazy it is that Cameo’s Larry Graham isn’t on Cameo?  AT LEAST THE CAKE WAS GREAT  and yeah, so is the program.

    02/18/26 Show 299 : Incapable Of Avoiding Processed Feuds

    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 don't know. I had a bunch of good stories about Richard Simmons from my former lawyer, but I'm sworn to secrecy (mostly because I'd asked him to arrange a meeting with Russell Simmons and he misunderstood).  I'm so happy with this week's episode, I thought about saving it for #300, but upon careful consideration it would be more appropriate and in the spirit of the show if the next one totally failed to live up to the advance hype. Save the date, etc.

    02/11/26 Show 298 : Space(hog) Is The Place (Where You Need To Be Very Careful)

    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.    For starters, just because there are very few people who know or care enough about Spacehog to do so does not make these actions any less disturbing.  Since our authorities are too consumed this morning with shutting down the airspace over El Paso, it’s up to me to (heroically) sound-the-f*****g-alarm.    If you or your loved ones are approached online by someone purporting to be a member of Spacehog, IT’S REALLY EASY TO GOOGLE THE REQUISITE INFORMATION.  Members of Spacehog included Royston Langdon, Antony Langdon, Jonny Cragg, Richard Steel and Robert Currie.  That’s it. There are no other members of Spacehog.  If they are really a former member of Spacehog, they’ll either have a blue check mark next to their name or they’re wearing a crown.  It cannot be that hard to figure out.

    02/04/26 Show 297 : Welcome To The Complicity Olympics

    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 Bell who popularized the phrase "Operation Shutdown" some 24 years ago.  While there's little in Bell's resume to indicate he'd be an effective ally for this particular movement, it would only have been POLITE to reach out to him>  On a somewhat grander scale, last week's conversations had me wondering (seriously) can any of us go FIVE F*****G MINUTES without being in some way, shape of form, complicit in the destruction, degradation and dehumanization of the oppressed (and soon-to-be oppressed)?  This very missive is being posted on multiple platforms that engage in the above literally every moment of the day. You're almost certainly reading it on a device that was assembled under the most harsh conditions (to put it in words you might understand, "much, much words than working at Kim's Underground").   You're probably saying, "there is no way the host of this show has anything profound or helpful to say on this matter", and you could be correct, however you'll not know for sure until you've heard all 131 minutes (at least once, perhaps several times).

    01/28/26 Show 296 : Garden State Of Mind (Your Own F*****g Business)

    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 countless appearances by iconic musicians including but not limited to Adrenalin OD, Rupert Holmes, NRBQ and Blue Oyster Cult.  Comparatively little has been written about the two appearances by Genöcide (featuring the late Bobby Ebz) and even less about the stylistic transitions that took place between said appearances (see above).  Given the rather tense state of affairs in the USA presently, I can understand why some of you are not ready for a full and frank discussion of this topic (indeed, I’m told that even mentioning this band’s name on this platform virtually guarantees a limited audience), but that’s why you listen to this show — in the vain hope I will actually discuss what’s been touted in the program synopsis.  Maybe it will happen one of these weeks.  In the meantime, I trust that Uncle Floyd and Sir Ebz are both hanging in some heavenly version of Rutt’s Hut (or at least Floyd).

    01/21/26 Show 295 : The Gospel According To John (Zewizz)

    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 into proper perspective  LIFE IZ NEVER FOREVER. DEATH IZ. NOTHING IZ EVER FAIR. NOTHING IZ GUARANTEED. YOU ARE WHAT YOU MAKE YOURSELF. YOUR DESTINY IZ IN YOUR OWN HANDS. YOU AZ AN INDIVIDUAL STAND APART FROM ALL OTHES BECAUSE OV YOUR THOUGHTS, DESIRES, AND EFFORTS. FEAR NOT WHO YOU ARE. DESTROY ALL WHO TRY TO CONTROL YOU. MODIFICATION AND INNOVATION STIMULATE THE INFLUENCE THAT ALTERS ALL CONDITIONS. ACCEPT THE FACT THAT ‘WE’ AS INDIVIDUALS STAND OUTSIDE AND ALONE. ACCOMODATE NO FALSE IDEALS - WE ARE THE ULTIMATE MINORITY.  well, he had me until the last sentence, anyway. Farewell to Bob Weir, may John Zewizz live to 7000 years old

    01/14/26 Show 294 : PREPPING 2027 OSCAR BAIT IN ADVANCE

    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 saga  of a Neil Diamond tribute act. While I would not necessarily describe this as progress, it does slightly open a window of possibility of a forthcoming feature film telling the story of STUPIFY, one of Cleveland’s top 5 or 6 Disturbed tribute bands. Could such a project be some sort of karmic payback for Michael Chiklis, who suffered so many slings and arrows (well, mostly arrows) for being cast as John Belushi in “Wired”? I’d love to get into all of it during this week’s show, however East Village Radio only grants me 120 minutes a week and this subject really requires ten, nay, one hundred times that. I don’t think you’re quite ready for the One Hundred Hours That Feels Like Two Hundred Hours (I’m certainly not).

    01/07/26 Show 293 : Profuse Apologies (For Things That Are Not My Fault)

    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 that this week would feature the global streaming premiere of Vinnie Vincent’s hotly anticipated CD single, “Ride The Serpent”. As you’re probably aware, Vinnie is selling said CD online for $200 (plus $25 shipping) to discourage piracy, however, his keen business initiative has done nothing to combat PORCH PIRACY and my parcel has been STOLEN. Please be on the lookout for anyone trying to sell a Vinnie Vincent one-song CD for $200 in the general vicinity of Ben White Boulevard and Montopolis. My second apology, concerns the passing of High Rise / PSF guitarist Munehiro Narita. On this week’s show, I spoke of Narita having passed away over the weekend, however he died some four years ago and this was only announced publicly in the past few days. Though I sincerely sorry for the error, I’m not sorry enough to re-record the entire show.
