Cognitive Dissonance, 7.17.09

It's time for a brand spankin' new podcast! I had a special guest this week, Chris Hume, director of Red State Road Trip and Red State Road Trip 2. Check them out at redstateroadtrip.com or shootandrun.net. Chris also directed a mini-documentary about the Geological Museum (Shameful self-promotion: I am in it ripping our failed football team and sharing my thoughts on the UW president's benefits.) This week's show featured music from Treepeople, Sonic Youth, The Dead Weather, Superchunk, Tom Waits, The Love Me Nots, Super Furry Animals, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Modest Mouse, and the Angry Malcontent ranted about our space program, and our lack of motivation ("Where's my goddamn hover car?!"). Blue Collar Joe debated Aurora Firestone on health care and got owned by Aurora and the Angry Malcontent. I shared my thoughts on Urbandictionary.com, and, for the first time, we had an unrelated, two-way tie for d-bag of the week! (Note: I referred to Robert Webb as Richard Webb a couple of times. Oops.)Track Listing:"Everything'll Be Alright," Superdrag "Sunday," Sonic Youth "Break My Heart," The Love Me Nots "We've Got to Get Out," Maritime "Running With the Wasters," The Takeover UK "Tidal Wave," The Apples In Stereo "The Ride, Pt. 2," Calexico "Caucasian Blues," Jarvis Cocker "Anenome," The Brian Jonestown Massacre "Only Shallow," My Bloody Valentine "So Far from Your Weapon," The Dead Weather "Jockey Full of Bourbon," Tom Waits "Dramamine," Modest Mouse "Show Your Hand," Super Furry Animals "Car," Built To Spill "Teller," Throwing Muses "In Like Flynn," Girls Against Boys "Nub," The Jesus Lizard "Seven," Sunny Day Real Estate "Grace Cathedral Park," Red House Painters "Slack Motherf*cker," Superchunk "Losing Skin," Seaweed "Andy Warhol," Treepeople "Getting' High for Jesus," Holly Golightly & The Brokeoffs
