Nurture and Support

This week Kelly gleefully sets out to piss Mel off. There is much sighing.

 

Kelly’s Rec:

Remember folks, this is NOT an endorsement, just some useful historical information. Otherwise known as an angry learning experience.

Documentary: Get Me Roger Stone on Netflix

* A Netflix original about Roger Stone.

* Did you know he has a ginormous tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back?

 

 

Mel’s Rec:

App: Periscope

* A social media live streaming app for iOS and android. Integrates with twitter (and Facebook if you must).

* It’s cool, it streams video from all over the world, and it just works.

* Kelly recommended this app on Episode 87, way back in 2015. Which really seems like 100 years ago or so.  Anyway, it’s still  around despite numerous reports of it’s impending doom.

 

Social Media Corner:

Kelly suggests you follow @Stoneflik on twitter since Roger Stone got himself banned… Oops. It too has been banned now. (Mel is sooooo sad).

“I’m on your side… sincerely”

This week we review Alice Cooper’s 21st album “Brutal Planet”.  This album, along with its successor “Dragontown”, mark Alice’s brief foray into a much more industrial sound.  These albums proved to be a bit polarizing for Alice fans, but both Mike and I both greatly enjoy them.

As mentioned on the show, here is the “Gimmie” video with the more insincere “sincerely” ever sung and it ends on a hilarious note.

“So I’m looking for a girl with a job and a car”

This week we review Alice Cooper’s 20th album “The Last Temptation”.  Mike and I both agreed this marks a turning point in Alice’s solo career with really wonderful material coming from here on out.  In The Last Temptation Alice returns in full form – strong guitar rock, humor, and touches of sinister.

Plus Steven is back.

This week we review Alice Cooper’s 19th album “Hey Stoopid”.  Lots of guests on this record, a few pretty great songs, and it marks the end of Alice’s minor hair band detour.

Oh, and the title track video was pretty sweet!

Mayo Grilled Cheese vs Buttered Grilled Cheese is legit my new fav twitter war. This is better than Butter Grits vs Sugar Grits

Heads up. The second half of this show involves a recommendation (from GUESS who) of an adult nature. Plan your listening accordingly.  But be sure to catch our spiffy new end bump.

Kelly’s Recommendation

Wrong Way Up – Brian Eno and John Cale (1990)

This is a truly enable album.  The sound is the special nexus of Eno, Cale and the Talking Heads.  While Mike took great offense, listen to “Crime in the Desert” and justify how it is NOT somehow utilized in a future Squat Cobbler.

If you ever have the need for some music to play in the background as a pick-me-up, this is the ticket.  Perhaps you could put it on prior to Mike’s recommendation starting.

Mike’s Recommendation

Well… so…

Mike’s recommendation is the first film adaptation from the “La Blue Girl” series.  For those of you unfamiliar, La Blue Girl is an erotic anime and manga series by Toshio Maeda. La Blue Girl has been comic books, three live-action movies, and some PC games as well.

Tentacles are involved.

I have nothing else to say, except maybe “sorry”.

 

Social Media Picks

Mike – @karmic9 (tied to Mike’s convoluted logic to partially blame her for his recommendation)

More music stuff! More podcasts!

 

Kelly’s Rec:

Website App: UJam Music Studio

* A cool utility that makes your audio files sound pro made.  AND IT’S FREE.

* It has tons of cool features and tweaks to get as audiophile-ish as you want.

* Kelly used it to make a new outro for Squat Cobbler. Listen below, if you dare.

 

 

 

Mel’s Rec:

Another Podcast: Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine

* A fun and informative podcast about Medicine by Dr. Sydnee McElroy and her husband Justin McElroy.

* Instead of going back and listening to the first few episodes, I jumped right into the current eps of this podcast. Starting with the one about Erectile Dysfunction. I was sold.

* It’s a lot of fun AND you learn a few things.

 

Social Media Corner:

 

Kelly caught up with @JamieKoala again at Wizard World. See the pic below. She has some really cool stuff at her shop @KoalaArtDesign, so now go follow that one.
