Radio Free Burrito Episode 48 – Big Canned Pasta

It’s time for a new Radio Free Burrito! This week, I brave an unexpected headache from hell to bring you music from some friends, the origin story of a nemesis, SPORTS!, and some thoughts about this moment in history.

• Radio Free Burrito doesn’t work as hard to earn its [EXPLICIT] tag as Memories of the Futurecast did, but it still manages to upset mom and get Twitter breakup messages from sensitive people. You have been warned.
• Today’s theme music is Chambermaid by VSTRS.
• I said that Killing Joke’s Love Like Blood came off of the 1986 album Brighter Than A Thousand Suns, but I’m an idiot and misread the wiki. It actually comes from 1983’s Night Time.
• The video for Love Like Blood is so very 1983 in all the right ways.
• My friends Miracle and Chris are Uke Box Heroes.
• Their new record is Calling All Heroes. Go buy it. I promise you that you’ll love it.
• Playboy.com has a SFW article about the days of dial-up internet porn that is both amusing and nostalgic and totally unrelated to this episode.
• It’s just that the file is exporting and I’ve run out of things to say in the notes.
• Oh, it’s done exporting. So now I’m going to upload it.
• This episode is 53m18s and 76.8MB
• This episode’s title originally identified it as Episode 47, which is clearly wrong and ludicrous.
• The title has been corrected, and nobody will ever know.
• IT IS THE PERFECT CRIME!
• This is the end of the notes.

Not Radio Free Burrito – Thank You

Los Angeles in 1973 (from Bill Moyers dot Com)

I just wanted to say thank you, and I didn’t want to wait until next week to do it. So here we are.

• Radio Free Burrito doesn’t work as hard to earn its [EXPLICIT] tag as Memories of the Futurecast did, but it still manages to upset mom and get Twitter breakup messages from sensitive people. You have been warned.
• This is really just seven minutes of me saying thank you.
• I played the incredible Google Play Music Blaxploitation channel in the background while I talked. I’m listening to it while I type up these notes and it keeps getting better.
• I also talked a little bit about Chris Cornell.
• Please hear me when I say this: You matter. You are important. You are stronger than you think. If you feel triggered by the death of someone you cared about, that’s completely understandable. But you will get through this, because we always get through this. You are not alone, and if you need someone to talk to, you can call 1-800-273-TALK. Please don’t hurt yourself.
• This nRFB is 7m06s long and 10.2 MB.
• This is the end of the notes.

Radio Free Burrito Episode 46 – it makes a terrifying sound.

Hey nerds! It’s time for a new Radio Free Burrito! This show features a whole lot of me talking about how weird I feel, how afraid I am of falling into obscurity, and wondering what, if anything, I can do about it. There’s also a little bit of music, and a couple of radio spots for some 70s movies.

• Radio Free Burrito doesn’t work as hard to earn its [EXPLICIT] tag as Memories of the Futurecast did, but it still manages to upset mom and get Twitter breakup messages from sensitive people. You have been warned.
• This episode’s theme song is Never Let Me Down Again by Depeche Mode.
• Phantasm recently got a shiny new director’s cut, remastered by JJ Abrams for a special screening at the Drafthouse.
• Reggie Bannister, who is in Phantasm, was kind to me when I was at one of my lowest points in my adult life. I’ll never forget that.
• Everything is Terrible, but Shock Festival is pretty great.
• I make weird bullshit that lives on my youtube channel.
• Visit The River’s Edge.
• Here’s a reasonably good version of The Legend of Boggy Creek.
• Here’s the Wikipedia for Boggy Creek. It’s worth reading.
• I wrote a novella. It’s on sale in the Kindle Store or you can get it from WWdN or you can get the audio version narrated by me.
• When I updated the mp3 tags in Audacity, it showed me that I haven’t done one of these since 2015. That makes me feel sad.
• I feel sad a lot these days.
• If you are also late to the party with me, take a look at Fargo, Rick and Morty, and Mr. Robot.
• I played music from Blondie, Public Enemy, and The Rezillos.
• This is the end of the notes.
