Eavesdropping on Geeks: Music to Protest By
2018-01-17 20:31:39
Back in our sekrit headquarters, we collaborated on the ultimate music mix for a world where Donald Trump is president.
Flesh led the charge...
Flesh: The theme will (obviously) be "revolution & resistance".
Unfortunately, the results remain top secret and highly classified, because it all turned out to be wildly incriminating.
What fans our personal flames of rebellion? Who stirs the wild fury that dares not speak its name? Which melodies make
our brains boil with righteous, red-hot rage? And what song always sounds like it's screaming "Fight Pigdogs fight!" at 120 decibels?
Luckily a few answers have leaked out -- a new world soundtrack from the secret soul of Pigdog. Obviously
a music mix of this magnitude is highly combustible -- but here's what it'd sound like if you put it all on shuffle and pulled out some of the highlights...
Master Squid: The DKs give us lots of songs... Nazi Punks Fuck Off! (how could I forget that one?)
Flesh: All good choices...
Baron Earl: Mojo Nixon.
El Destino: X has that song about how they were voting for a president this morning, and this is "The New World."
Master Squid:
Night of the Living Rednecks.
El Destino: "Fuck Donald Trump"
Master Squid:
God, half the songs on Megadeth’s Countdown to Extinction have an appropriate title LOL...
Oysterhead - Wield the Spade.
El Destino: The Pixies? I love "Debaser".
Other suggestions included "something by Devo," and the musical debate ultimately culiminated with this inspring quote from their forgotten 1989 album, "Now It Can Be Told."
"Remember you were there!
Remember if you care!
All those who stood their ground
when it all came down..."

WKRP in Cincinnati aired from 1978 through 1982. Howard Hesseman played Dr. Johnny Fever, a DJ from Los Angeles who was fired from his previous job for saying the word "booger" on the air. In the show Hesseman would do some dialogue, introduce a song, and start the song. You'd hear a few notes, but never the whole song. (More...)

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.

It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters.
