Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 159: War Remains.

We just can't contain our love for Enforced. Their new album "War Remains" is out now, and if you love music that is fast, tight, honest, and intelligent, then you will LOVE this album. It should be no mystery how the 'Brains are going to rate this one. Already among the elite active thrash metal bands, this album will satisfy any true fan. Young and old. Purist or casual. Put in a mouthpiece before you blast this album, or you might bite your own tongue off!

Then, Ian gives a layman's briefing on the UK's Challenger 2 tank that is currently being sent to Ukraine in limited numbers. The track record of deadliness and survivability with this tank should have Russia quivering in their collective boots. And when a murderous war-criminal is backed into a corner and tries to launch his nukes, he will get the shock of his life.

Oh, treat and rapture! Listen to the very end for a chuckle with some extremely lame "Dad jokes".

Thanks for listening everyone!

In memory of David Roberts. I'm in shock to learn of your passing yesterday. RIP old friend. You were a strange guy. But much loved and a part of the Mesplay Clan... and Momma's best friend.

Always.

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast's tenth installment of our Banter Series. This episode almost could have been titled, "Pending Peer Review: Part 2". But, being just banter, it's our chance to have even less direction and just talk about whatever we want to. For instance, what does Wyoming and the UAP phenomenon have in common? We don't know either.

This week we also review the new EP from Finnish band Crawlspace titled, " Relapse In Judgement".

Thanks for listening Chuck, Noah, Bob, Heather, Jim, Steve, Marianne, John, Amy, Lazarus, Fred, Cole, Tucker, Ralph, Bart, Jodi, Hank, Sara, Erika, Amie, Kent, Shakal, Mari, Keith, all four Mikes, and everyone else who has supported and stuck with us. We truly appreciate you all!

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 157!

In this week's episode, we talk about "Repulsive Nature", the debut album from Seattle-based death metal band, Re-buried.

Then we talk about Sir Alfred Mehran, the strange man who lived in a Paris airport for not 5, not 10, but for 18 years. How and why did he live in an airport? Was this by choice or was he trapped and a victim of circumstances? This man's story would eventually become a book, and the inspiration for a movie starring Tom Hanks.

Thanks for listening - we appreciate each and every one of our listeners. Don't forget to rate/review and share with your network.

Scatterbrain Podcast: Episode 156 - The Overkill Episode!

Overkill are the hardest working, most prolific, consistent, and straight-up insanely ripping thrash metal band active today. Their live shows are loud, impressive, and if you are seeing it for the first time, it will change your life for the better! No hyperbole. No BS. This is a non-stop, 43-years-and-running freight train of fuck you thrash metal that demands your attention, but doesn't give a fuck if you like them or not! They will plow through your town and leave their fans satisfied... and the doubters in stunned silence trying to process what they have just experienced. You think we are kidding? Go get a ticket... and then welcome to The Green And Black!

We review Overkill's 20th album, "Scorched". It's been a long four years, but it was worth the wait.

Ian gushes his love of everything Overkill and we talk about the new album. Then, we wrap it up with Ian's Overkill album rankings... this from a 36-year-long super-fan and not some jackass hack on YouTube with his head up his ass! But, from someone who ALWAYS has his head up his own ass! So it's legit.

Thanx For Nothin' fuckers! Please enjoy this episode. And if you don't... it's Dan's fault!

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 154!

This week we talk about our forays into the great outdoors and review Judiciary's latest release, "Flesh + Blood".

Then we talk about giants and the possibility of their existence now and in the past. What is it about the myth of huge people that spans time, place, and culture? Is there any real evidence for the existence of giants in the past? Is there anything to the legends of these unusually large people?

You're so smart. You figure it out.

I have nothing more to say.

Always, Stanley. Always. You were so much better than what I am left with.

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 152: Plastic (It's Everywhere)!

This week, we do another album swap. Ian listens to Suffocation's "Effigy of the Forgotten" (Dan's suggestion) and Dan listens to Sabbat's "History of a Time to Come" (Ian's suggestion). These albums are some of our favorites - We do these album swaps to break out of our normal listening habits and encourage each other to listen to something we may have missed or may not have given a chance in the past. How do they hold up after all of these years?

Then, we talk about plastic. It's everywhere! We learn about the discovery and manufacture of plastic, its many benefits, and the pitfalls of its widespread use. You don't have to look far to see the environmental impacts of the production and improper disposal of plastic, and the scale of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is almost beyond comprehension. What can be done about this? Are we past the point of no return?

"The Toxic Angry Victim" by I. Mesplay.

We've all had to tolerate this type of person at one point in our lives. If you haven't, be prepared. They will ruin everything for everyone around them. They are arrogant and deeply selfish creatures. And if you think being friendly is the answer, they will use that opportunity to try to crush your happiness with complaints and negativity. If you think remaining positive and offering solutions is the key, well, they won't hear a thing that you are saying. That would defeat what it's all really about for them: they thrive on anger, can't stand it when someone else isn't as miserable as they are, and will actively work to poison the well for everyone else. Go ahead and try to be their friend and advocate. Go ahead and try to make them see the positive and interject reason. They won't listen. And next thing you know, you are struggling through quicksand trying to escape their never-ending, rage-filled vitriol. God help you.
