A day late but certainly not a dollar short. It is the Labor Day holiday edition of the BCRadio Podcast.
Eric Olsen discusses the on-stage fracas at Poison's recent show in Atlanta. Ken "Gameboy" Edwards gives us the lowdown on a new XBox 360 game as well as news from the East Coast Gaming Expo. A.L. Harper brings us a new Band of the Week. Joan Hunt joins us, not to discuss the blues, but to sing them over the passing of Steve Irwin. The Duke De Mondo returns to the show with a preview of the novel he is writing (be sure to check out his award-winning short film).
A brief warning... the language and topic meter goes a little further towards the grown-up this week. I'm just saying...

Perhaps it's fitting that I missed the show like Jeff George missed the 53-man roster.
2 - Mark Saleski
i'll never be able to read an a.l. harper review without blushing. phew!
3 - Ken Edwards
I have absolutely no idea where the MoveOn.org stuff came from. That was off the wall.
4 - DJRadiohead
Good conspiracy juju is off the wall, Ken.
5 - Ken Edwards
Indeed it is.
6 - DJRadiohead
Saleski, go take a cold shower. Sussman, you got preempted but you are slated for the #2 slot behind EO this week.
7 - A.L. Harper
Did I scare you Saleski? Don't blush it's all very natural!

1. I love the REM intros.
2. Olive Garden overpriced and sucks.
3. Labor Day - The origins of the American Labor Day can be traced back to the Knights of Labor in the United States and a parade organized by them on September 5, 1882 in New York City. They were inspired by an annual labor parade held in Toronto, Canada.
Labour Day is celebrated around the world in May.
4. Read-ing, PA? (pronounced redd'-ing)
5. Sexual thrill ride???
I wish I was so moved...maybe I'll just have a drink and try again. ;)
6. I don't think you praised The Duke enough. LOL
But I did enjoy Cliddyplomp.
An overall entertaining episode. I look forward to next week.
9 - DJRadiohead
1. Thanks! I wonder how I got the idea to use them this week...
2. I used to only think they were overpriced. Now I agree on the suckage.
3. Thanks for the background! I could have looked it up but then it might have ruined my joke. I was kind of proud of this week's monologue.
4. I thought it was redd'ing, but since Ken actually went there I followed his lead. Way to go, Gameboy!
5. Uhhh.... I don't think I should touch that one at all. No. I'm going to stay away from it.
6. Good thinking. I'll sing more of his praises this week.
Thanks for checking it out, S.Rod.

3. there has just got to be a real italian restaurant in huntsville.
corporate food sucks.
11 - S.Rod
It looks like slim pickings for DJR. There are 11 Italian restaurants in Huntsville, AL according to citysearch.com:
#1 is Romano's Macaroni Grill (Out of DJR's price range) ;)
#2 is The Olive Garden
12 - DJRadiohead
Macaroni Grill blows. The Wife to Whom I'm Married and I have eaten there twice and didn't enjoy it either time. Carrabba's is here- another chain- and they're not bad. This is the first time we've gotten fucked by Olive Garden. We have generally had good luck and liked the food.
Corporate food... listen at you, Saleski. I don't like going to dives to strike a blow against the proletariat or whatever the fuck that pinko rhetoric says. Besides, diners and independent food joints are just as likely to suck as the land of corporate stupid and good food and bad food looks exactly the same when it swirls around the bowl.
13 - Mark Saleski
geezuz, remind me not to cook you dinner if you visit the northeast.
i'll just heat up a tv dinner.
sheesh.
14 - DJRadiohead
Oh, shut up! I was mostly poking holes in the silly romantic notion of "the noble independent." I've gotten good service and bad service in corporate stores/restaurants and the same can be said of independents. Neither has a monopoly on either.
And if we come visit the northeast, we're going to be too busy listening to vinyl on your stereo system and drinking beers to actually cook anything to eat!
15 - Mark Saleski
when the country turns into a coast-to-coast strip mall, at least it won't be my fault.
16 - S.Rod
DJR: Silly question...
I see that there are 5 different types of "asian" cuisine restaurants in Huntsville. Do you know of any "spanish" restaurants that are not mexican? The citysearch list says there are 45 mexican restaurants in your area. Just curious.
17 - Mark Saleski
djr doesn't go to mexican restaurants, he just puts on a clean wifebeater and pops open a new box of rice-a-roni.
or so i'm told.
18 - Matthew T. Sussman
Clean, you say?
19 - S.Rod
My question was not if he visited any mexican restaurants...but was, if there are (to his knowledge) any spanish non-mexican restaurants.
20 - DJRadiohead
Huntsville, being the great bastion of culture that it is (ask Suss), is full of people who probably don't realize that "Mexican" and "Spanish" are two different things. I think Taco Bell qualifies as a Mexican restaurant around here.
Attempting a serious answer to your question, I don't know of any such places. I think the restaurants in Huntsville serve "Mexican" (or rather, Tex-Mex) food.
Sussman, just because you didn't clean up before visiting me here in Culture Mecca doesn't mean the rest of us have to be slovenly.
Saleski, you're too late, it is already a coast-to-coast strip mall and it is your fault.
21 - Mark Saleski
oh really? i've never eaten at an olive garden, so n'yah to you. ;-)
22 - S.Rod
Thank you for asnwering my question. My curiosity has been satisfied.
It does seem like every bit of free space has been occupied by one more useless strip mall after another...although, I'm not sure if its all Saleski's fault. LOL
23 - Mark Sahm
Hmmm, this thread has foretold my future... I will open a chain of non-Mexican Spanish food restaurants throughout Alabama that caters to disgruntled podcasters who want to pay fast food prices. :o)
I like the premise of EO getting cut off like in True Lies when the head terrorist is making his big speech, and the batteries run out on the guy filming him.
Sorry if I've been scarce in commenting the last couple weeks. But this was a fun listen. I look forward to the days when the East German equipment gets retired.
24 - A.L. Harper
I love the East German equipment. It makes me sound much further away than I am. Like the moon.
No one could praise The Duke enough. The man is a brilliantly talented, mental behemoth (and a genital pygmy, to hear him tell it) and such talent and superiority of mind deserves all the praise you can heap.
If it wasn't a sexual thrill ride for you, maybe you aren't doing it right. Let me know if you need tips.
25 - DJRadiohead
By the powers vested in me, I am closing this thread before it turns into a- who the fuck am I kidding? I'll stay and watch. Besides, I have no powers. Other than the power to preempt Sussman and clip EO. And those powers are kind of cool.
