Scatterbrain Podcast

Welcome to Episode 116! You are in for a treat! It's another installment of SOG! This is Vol. 3, "At The Studio." We recorded this gem... well... at the studio. It's short and, uh... sweet? It's a behind-the-scenes look at Ian's sometimes incoherent babbling, and Dan's bottomless well of patience. You will probably be able to actually HEAR Dan rolling his eyes. Some may say Ian is unbalanced. But can an unbalanced person write so eloquently in the third person like this? Ian is telling me, "No."

Thanks for listening Scatterbrains! 

We will catch you again next week, as usual.

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 115!

This week, things get a little serious. We talk about cults: what comprises a cult, the common characteristics of cults members and cult leaders, and why people would even consider joining a cult. Then we discuss the details around the Heaven's Gate cult and the mass suicide that took place in Rancho Santa Fe in 1997.

But first, we make amends with Mr. Cruise and review Decapitated's latest release, "Cancer Culture".

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 114: Emperor Norton.

First off, we review the new album, "A Call To Arms" by old-school Wisconsin-based death-metalers, Jungle Rot.

Then, after the guys apologize profusely to a great man, a man's man, a true American hero and icon, the greatest human to have ever lived, the best actor in history... we talk about the only Emperor Of The United States ( and Protector of Mexico ), Emperor Norton I. He may have been a little off in the head, but he was a good man with some truly forward-thinking ideas. Kneel to The Emperor, peasant!

Thank you for listening, everyone!

 And to any new listeners: welcome! Always expect the unexpected!

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 113!

This week, we are joined by San Diego-based black metal band and U.S. National winners of the 2022 Wacken Metal Battle, Mythraeum. We learn about the history of the band, the recording of their first album "The Inevitable Return", and the forthcoming release of their new EP. 

We love supporting the metal scene, especially our local San Diego scene. Please do what you can to help the guys from Mythraeum get to Wacken (in Germany) by contributing to their Indiegogo fundraiser - https://igg.me/at/myth1/ This is a great opportunity for the guys to bring their killer tunes to people from all over the world, but comes at significant expense. Every little bit helps. \m/

Thank you for listening each week - we appreciate each one of our listeners.

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 112: Drowned In Sleep/Lucid Dreaming.

We review yet ANOTHER Brazilian band, Drowned, and their new album, "Recipe Of Hate". Then, we talk about some of our favorite albums from past reviews. Thrash is more than just a musical style, it's lifestyle.

Our topic this week is dreams and dreaming. More specifically, lucid dreaming. Is it really something that we can all do? When you are dreaming, have you ever realized in the dream that you are in fact dreaming? And if so, are you one of those who claim that they can consciously control themselves, and even the path and outcome of the dream? Sounds impossible, but first hand accounts of this ability go back hundreds, even thousands of years. It's an interesting conversation the 'Brains had about the mystery of dreams and dreaming. 

Thank you for listening everyone! And always remember: it's good to be a Scatterbrain!

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 111: Marie Curie.

First:

We kick things off by reviewing the blackened Hungarian death-metal band, Needless, and their most recent offering, "The Cosmic Cauldron". 

( https://needlessofficial.bandcamp.com, and/or Instagram: (@needless_metal) )

Then:

She was a genius. Sure. She did important work in science. Yes. She is universally honored and respected for her dedication to her work, and her many discoveries. Of course. But, did you know she was also the true inventor of heavy metal? Just kidding. That was Black Sabbath. But, her life WAS extremely important, and her discoveries forced a paradigm shift in the way we look at the universe. That's not nothing. Even Einstein, Niels Bohr, and Werner Heisenberg yielded to her genius. We roughly knew about her accomplishments, but hear what the guys found out about who she really WAS. She was WAY ahead of her time, and she literally died for her work.

Thank you ALL for listening and supporting us over these last two eventful years. We truly appreciate our faithful listeners for helping us grow into the bloated behemoth that we've become ( play along ). 

And if you are new to the madness, WELCOME! You will find that we aren't only about heavy music - we have something for everyone! 

If you enjoy Scatterbrain Podcast, please help by spreading the word to family, co-workers, and friends. We appreciate it!

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 110!

This week, we learn interesting facts about space, including the difference between meteors, meteorites, and asteroids. Then we review Human Cull's latest release, "To Weep for Unconquered Worlds".  We also discuss and pontificate over "extreme music" as a genre.

Finally, we discuss fear vs aversion vs phobia, and some strange phobias you may not have heard of before. Where do phobias come from and what can people do to rid themselves of this extreme fear? Suck it up, ya pansie!

Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 109: Banter Vol. 6 is a real chat-show. A blather-fest. A cluster-talk, if you will.

We talk about gentrification and the disappearance of affordable housing, over-population, greed, the amount of gold on Earth, sulfur mining, and much more! Squeak, squeak, squeak! 

Then we review the new album from another killer Texas death-metal project: Visions Of Annihilation. Directly tied to one of our favorite bands ( and friends of the show ), Kryptic Mutation.

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 108!

This week we talk about issues with social media, the Bay Area Strikes Back show, being prepared vs. hoarding, and more, before getting into this week's album review: "Diabolical", the latest from Germany's thrash legends, Destruction.

Then we talk about the strange UFO sightings and alien encounters associated with the 1996 Varginha Incident. Is this a hoax or was there a government cover-up? Listen for yourself and come to your own conclusion.

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast with Ian and Dan.

Episode 107; Alien Abductions - Part One: The Artist & The Farmer. 

After we catch up about some metal news, Ian's latest trip to Colorado, space signals, and spacetime paradoxes, we challenged ourselves and review TWO new albums this week: Meshuggah's "Immutable", and Descent's "Order Of Chaos". 

Then, we focus on firsts: the first person to openly take a maligned and widely ridiculed subject seriously, then spend almost four decades interviewing hundreds of perfectly respectable people who claim they have been abducted by extraterrestrials. 

Then, we review the first case to be widely reported, when a Brazilian farmer had to be hospitalized with radiation sickness after his alleged encounter with aliens in 1957. Truth really might be stranger than fiction, depending on what and who you choose to believe.
