This week's episode takes us back to the early 1990s when reggae rap got its first hit with Snow's incoherent babbling song Informer. The song was played many times on pop radio stations and we're going to try to figure out why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSffz_bl6zo
So, Joe Rogan. As a prolific podcaster myself, I feel like I have to put in my 2 cents on this whole thing. Ive never listened to Joe Rogan but as a middle aged white man I feel like I can still weigh in. First and foremost I think that freedom of speech is of the utmost importance. Without it, tyrannical governments can silence…
I just did a review of my division winner picks throughout the season. Now its time to take a look at how my playoff picks went. Dont mess with Texas Wildcard week I successfully picked 5 of the 6 games. That said, 2 of the games were no brainers. Bucs over the Eagles and the Chiefs over the Steelers. The Bills win over the…
Its the worst weekend of the year, Pro Bowl weekend. And since that means that there isnt any meaningful football this week I though I would take a look at my picks from the season and see how well I did. I wrote 4 posts throughout the season to pick the division winners. Preseason, Early Season, Mid Season, and Late Season. Im going to…
This is one of those albums that comes out of nowhere and then proceeds to melt your soul from the inside. I don't even know exactly how I came about buying this CD in 1998, but after listening to it once, I was hooked. I was definitely exposed to Tricky, Portishead, and trip-hop before 1998, so it wasn't some sort of radical new sound…

The top seven are largely static, with just one flip-flop between the Heat and Cavaliers (now #4 and #5 respectively). Samesies for the bottom twelve, with the Knicks and Trailblazers switching spots (#21 and #22). Toronto made the biggest leap, up four spots to #10, so let's see how their season…

Power rankings system devised and compiled weekly by Stemshul. “Expert” analysis by paradroid. LBJ is surprisingly good at basketball. It's already week 15 and we're past half-way through the season. And somehow the Cleveland Cavaliers are up to fourth in our rankings. The top three have a little gap on everyone else, but few would have expected Cleveland to be leading the chase this…
It was the late 1980s and my sister had the cassette of this album by Tears for Fears. I listened to it from start to finish numerous times. While it is notable for the big radio hit singles Shout and Everybody Wants to Rule the World, it's impossible to find a bad track among the 8 songs. What I really liked about it was…
Only 2 games left until the big game. Lets see whos left. Im not going to address what happened in the Divisional Round because paradroid pretty much nailed it. It was the best weekend of football I have ever seen. And the Bills/Chiefs game is probably the best game Ive ever watched. Bengals (8th) @ Chiefs (1st) - ChiefsLets see if I can go…
