Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 79.

Thank you to all who are listening and helped us grow into the podcasting powerhouse that we are! Keep listening. And to our newest Scatterbrains: stick with us. We will grow on you ( like flesh-eating bacteria ). 

This week we review the new album from Seattle's Oxygen Destroyer: "Sinister Monstrosities Spawned by the Unfathomable Ignorance of Humankind" (that is the second time I had to write that, so I figured WTF I'll just type even more letters because my fingers aren't hurting enough!).

Then we talk about demonic possession. The movie "The Exorcist", the book that inspired the movie, and the "true" events that inspired the book. Then we ask, "Aren't zombies and poltergeists the same thing as possession?". And can people's body's really be inhabited by malignant and malevolent spirits? Or is it all in our minds? Listen to find out what the Scatterbrains think. OR WE WILL COME AND EAT YOUR FUCKING SOULS!!! Ummmm. Sorry about that...

Hello Scatterbrains! Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 79! 

Due to the long weekend, we were able to get this done and out to our listeners a full day early! You're welcome.

Thank you all for listening, and for your ongoing interest in our weekly blathering about music we love, and topics that interest us. This really is a lot of work, but we love doing this, and love knowing you are out there! Greetings to our new listeners! Stick with us, because we will grow on you - kind of like flesh eating bacteria. You are why we do this ( and then there's the narcissism, of course ).

This week we review "Sinister Monstrosities Spawned by the Unfathomable Ignorance of Humankind" by Seattle's own Oxygen Destroyer ([email protected]). 

Next, our topic this week: demonic possession. The movie "The Exorcist" ( 1973: Linda Blair, Ellen Burstyn ), the book that inspired the movie, the true events that inspired the book, and whether poltergeists and zombies fall into the same category as possession. Could this all be real? Do demons really exist? Could someone really be inhabited by an evil, malevolent spirit? Or is it all in our minds? Listen and find out what the Scatterbrains think.

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 78! Thank you for listening and your ongoing support. There is only so much time in a day, so thanks for sharing it with us.

This week, we learn that podcast segments don't sound very good when you forget to press the "record" button.  Fortunately, the major oversight did not interfere with our great conversation with Andre from Korvak (https://linktr.ee/korvak). Andre performs bass, guitar, and vocals for this Brazilian three-piece thrash act. 

In this episode, we learn about how the band formed, the recording of their 2019 self-titled debut, and what is in store for the band in the future. We also talk about aliens and other random stuff. If you haven't checked out Korvak's music, check it out after listening to this episode.

Welcome to Scatterbrain Podcast Episode 77! Thank you for listening and for your ongoing support. We truly appreciate all of our Scatterbrains.

This week, we piggyback on the mummies topic from last episode as we discuss pyramids around the world, and in greater detail, the Great Pyramid of Giza. How and why did ancient civilizations go through the intensive process of building pyramids? What purpose did they serve? Many theories abound, but sometimes maybe the answer is the simplest one.

We also talk about the latest release from Helslave, "From the Sulphur Depths".
