    Hooray new podcast! This week's show featured music from Stone Gossard, The Gits, The Supersuckers, Violent Femmes, Saul Williams, Tullycraft, Talking Heads, Velocity Girls and brand new Modest Mouse. Plus, the Angry Malcontent ranted about Professor Gates-gate. Blue Collar Joe and Aurora Firestone further debated the Gates matter, and then got reasoned by the Angry Malcontent, and we had an unrelated, three-way tie for d-bag of the week! It was a slightly Network-ish moment. (Note: Time to boycott Burger King.)

    I also discussed Monolith festival and those who become fans of my show on Facebook can request songs, nominate d-bags or even arrange rides to Monolith at Red Rocks.

    It's time for a brand spankin' new podcast! I had a special guest this week, Chris Hume, director of Red State Road Trip and Red State Road Trip 2. Check them out at redstateroadtrip.com or shootandrun.net. Chris also directed a mini-documentary about the Geological Museum (Shameful self-promotion: I am in it ripping our failed football team and sharing my thoughts on the UW president's benefits.) This week's show featured music from Treepeople, Sonic Youth, The Dead Weather, Superchunk, Tom Waits, The Love Me Nots, Super Furry Animals, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Modest Mouse, and the Angry Malcontent ranted about our space program, and our lack of motivation ("Where's my goddamn hover car?!"). Blue Collar Joe debated Aurora Firestone on health care and got owned by Aurora and the Angry Malcontent. I shared my thoughts on Urbandictionary.com, and, for the first time, we had an unrelated, two-way tie for d-bag of the week! (Note: I referred to Robert Webb as Richard Webb a couple of times. Oops.)
