Corky's Heartland Values
Roll out the buttermilk biscuits and put on your best Bullwinkle shirt, because we have a treat of a show today that you'll definitely not want to fly over. Fire up the C64 and hide your bibles before they burn away from our searing metalized and synthetic mixer! Grab a paper bag and we'll spray in the best silver paint as we damage your mind at Select BGM.

We've Got That Bronze Key Beat
The machinery of time has been jammed, but it has still managed to plop out another wonderful episode full of corrosive ear candy. Jon and Rich are back and dancing to that Bronze Key Beat, with the spirit of Baphomet inspiring a return to the chaotic brilliance you expect. You know you can't turn away, or run away. When the Serpent yells "All Aboard!", hop on the train and you can share an apple or two with Select BGM.

Barracuda
Colonoscopies are a drag, but you've never given up on anything, so you surely won't surrender to this. You'll knock it out of the park with a big Wham! Just remember to stay hydrated and avoid Pepsi. This sing-songy episode is brought to you by the word "barracuda" and the Letter "G". Go watch some football and eat some ice cream while you still can at Select BGM!

Pure Moods
It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon, so you hit the town to get your chakra re-aligned. Along the way you run into a group of nice robed figures, chanting and rubbing their rosaries. Your mood has improved, but something still feels off, so you reach into your pocket and pop a power pellet, now you're firing on all cylinders. Why build it when you can buy it? You jump back in the Jetta, pop in your new cassette and drive home listening to dirty sax music over EDM beats and think: "Jon and Rich always play the best beats at Select BGM."

155
Unremarkable
Your stark individualism and grit make you different, even if the din of conformity has so far silenced your beautiful song. When graduation day happens, you will be able to ascend from the crowd and begin your solo career as the star of the big show. Until then, placate your desires on the fruits of vice, and navigate your way through these unremarkable days, for the future will be bright and exciting. Jon and Rich have seen the faults in that way and realize that a good playlist and exciting computer magic are the true vehicles to reaching enlightenment in the hallowed halls of Select BGM.

Buttery Smooth
Pick up your gut and wobble on over to the trough, the dinner bell is ringing. Don't go too quick or you might slip and break a hip. We are somehow back again for the 17th time on yet another retirement tour, so slop a buttery smooth heaping of Jon and Rich onto your buffet tray for another mayonnaise smothered episode of Select BGM.
-
153
Wormsign
When you find that secret place by the river, turn up the butt rock, drink down that tequila and swallow that worm. It's been awhile, but we're back to kick it G-Style in this return to irreverent form. The tunes this week are a bit sing-songy and of course conversation is all over the place and back to sloppy fun instead of curmudgeonly complaining. Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even Select BGM has never seen.
-
152
Witch Tickler
Tally-ho! We may have abandoned you for a couple of weeks, but we're back with a slew of musical stew. Pour a beer and blow a puff into The Music Machine because even computers like the spells we cast. Conjure up the patience to listen for an hour or so because you'll definitely regret it. With or without a license you'll be conveyed to magical places, but you'll never get your time back at Select BGM.
-
151
Critical Jesus Theory
Bless you buckaroos! In this episode we let Jesus take the wheel and spin luminous hymns from the magic planet. Jon and Rich reach out and touch faith while dealing with a devil dog and front door intruders. Thank you all for populating the pews and listening to our words of folly. You have a place in the 8th dimension at Select BGM.

150
Shine Sweet Freedom
When you find a chunk of ground beef in your beard you should eat it in remembrance of those who came before. Your pristine dreamy blues are the envy of the town in your easy going spring time chilled vibes. Remember those who came before with solemn joy, but don't be scared to bring a little levity to the situation either. There's no more runnin' down the wrong road at Select BGM.
-
149
Speed-O-Meter
Sometimes the proper way isn't evident and sometimes there may not be a proper way. We don't eschew any ideology and welcome all to listen to the incredible tracks we have for you this week. It's hard to define what this episode is about, but we've let our inner Trans-Ams out and want you to hop into the back seat for a ride on the road to nowhere in the Select BGM Zone.
-
148
Steady As She Goes
By some miraculous grace of Poseidon Jon and Rich are back again with tunes to elicit explicit illicit stories of wanton travels in the seas of sleaze only reachable via the roads of apathy. Pick the fruits of the Strawberry Blonde and boost your levels for an unrivaled adventure with the best stop motion this side of Jason and the Argonauts. Although clunky and dated, Select BGM is ready, steady, and goes.
-
147
Second Dose
Repetition legitimizes that Jon and Rich are back to spread our cooties to your ears via our returning show. Survival of the lamest guaranteed we would be back to dose you with the best tunes and entertaining falsettos. We've all gotten fat and our teeth have rotted out, but the sun is coming back out and I think we're all ready to rock and roll again. Select BGM is back to rock wit' you like we did in the before-times of the long-long-ago.
-
146
Crimson Sepulchre
It's some sort of dead thing right, like a mound or that thing Darth Vader burned up on? Nah, just a super bad ass heavy metal name for your pleasure as we bump back into existence for 2020. You can wear your shoes in the house of Jon and Rich and we also don't believe in the astral or astrological powers invading the sanctity of this godless hovel of a place. Eww, gross are we in the super loc'd out G life of Select BGM.
-
145
Ishy Water
Looks like Krampus dropped a deuce and forgot about it for a couple of days but Jon and Rich found it. Enjoy the fetid fumes of holiday gloom with another episode. Soon it'll be a new year and all of your failed promises to yourself can be re-evaluated so that you don't have to feel like such a horrible monster. Heat up the kettle and make some coca-leaf tea to help you stay awake during this heaping slab of curb snow at Select BGM.
-
144
Abysmal
Hold up, Jon and Rich are delivering a new episode during the traditional holiday blackout? We'll have to see what kind of recompense whatever entity you serve brings you this season for your suffering through this abysmal episode. Don't get SAD, get into the stories of gods and men and take a swimming lesson or play some racquetball in the comforting shelter of a glowing holiday sky spirit. Let it snow at Select BGM.
-
143
Quit Trying
You peaked a long time ago and will never get it all together. If you think being 25 going on 65 makes you cool then maybe you should get the band back together and live hard in your RV cause the magic is gone and you know it. Quit trying and ease back in your La-Z-Boy. It's a plush spot in which your unremarkable trajectory landed you. Taking the stickers off and rearranging them fools nobody at Select BGM.
-
142
Nothing Special
After ages of being mediocre Jon and Rich are pleased to present you with an anniversary episode that is nothing special. Since reality glitched and Kazaam and Sinbad now both exist in the same universe, it's time to get pumped and utilize the stop-motion to shrink princesses and ride on Rod Stewart's railroad. When one stops caring, one starts swearing. Here's a toast to you and for 5 years of our F-Show at Select BGM!
-
141
We Think Anyway
After sickness, vacation, and family fortunes Jon and Rich emerge from the space whale with a buffet of tonal treats flying right towards your heart and possibly through it. The air is crisp with hints of winter and just a dash of liquid smoke. Inhale deeply with perfect strangers and bosom buddies in the Latin quarter of Select BGM.
-
140
Give Me A Foe-D G
When things get difficult there is always the option of cracking a tall one and kicking it into easy mode with the Billy Dee Williams of your imagination. This week Jon and Rich are busy thinking about Zelda and have no time for guff. Pack a pool cue, a grip of darts, and a refreshed liver because this week is a party where we'll get on top of the hypest disco Super Sentai, like your mom. It works every time at Select BGM.
-
139
Why Think About It?
Skulk away from your mundane reality and come visit us in the pit of pure fantasy. Reach out your gauntlet and catch what the wind brings you, even if it's VD. Slip your hearing aids in your ears and strap on your colostomy bag. It's time to nod your head to a new jam even if your life isn't what it once was. Why think about it? You may have partied away your health, but you always have Select BGM.
-
138
Who Cares What It's Called
If something is not named, labeled or categorized does it still have meaning? Answer is shut your brain spout and just listen to episode 138. Let Jon and Rich bring a raucous mix of smashingly good VGM and ask the important questions. What do ladies do in that room and where did that stain come from? Metadreaming of justified homicide here at Select BGM.
-
137
Could Be Jesus
Hop aboard and feel the sword of dischord that stabs with mighty fjords of the lord. Imperfect vessels are all of we and that's the excuse you'll give thee for the sloppy meal we present for free. Cm'on, we've been gone for 3 weeks and you are feenin'. Strap in, pour on the gasoline and flick the match for one more ride on the Select BGM machine.
-
136
Haught, Hot, Hawt
Some like it hot and some sweat when the heat is on. Summer is full blast as Rich and Jon throw down a seasonal mix of "hawt" VGM. Join us for some swimming at the Hamlisch pool and summertime strawberries and whipped cream... wait, what? It's getting haught in here at Select BGM but we'll keep on all our clothes.
-
135
Burly Buddies
Iron the collar on your lumberjack shirt and hop atop your ox. Bring the paper towels as the moist masses need some cleaning up that only a brawny sloppy-joe eating crew like all of you Select-BGM-ites can provide. Cross your barb-wired arms and stand shoulder to shoulder with your burly buddies at Select BGM. Not!
-
134
I'm Gonna Sax You Up
To the beat, tick tock, get up.. stop - what you're doin', cause we're about to ruin you. Everybody's dancing to the new jam where Jon and Rich hang you up like a piece of meat and pummel you with the best new jack this side of Mumbai. Try to figure out how to act because in this movie there are no winners, only debris of mispronounced hocus pocus and the usual nonsensical babble you've come to believe in at Select BGM.
-
133
Mindleaf
Put a leaf in the table because this week we give your sensitive sensibilities a light jumping in hopes of helping you get in where you fit in the tomb of the mutilated. Cough out some magic sparkles and revel in the sandalwood scented ambiance as you climb up that ladder and press record on your VCR so that you can grind your shards to some Select BGM.
-
132
Ride The Lightening
After a long day in middle management you decide to be an agoraphobe, sink into your sofa and order in some stonery goodness. Pop, pop, pop, pop clanks your door. Outside stands a wielder of some fast food, sweet tunage, and she's gunning for your heart. You scoot in and she grimaces which lightens up your mood. Care for a "bang"? You aren't usually lucky but it's after hours and different tactics work for different times. As you come out of your daydream and nod at the other suckers in the audience, you know that only you truly appreciate her holographic poetry at Select BGM.
-
131
Balderdash
Shake a leg and strap in for a ride on the malarkey express as Jon and Rich present the same old poppycock they always do. If you are down in the village watch out for the bad things and their time traveling tendrils seeking out cultural carrion in this week's episode of Select BGM.
-
130
Backed Up
Jon and Rich lay off the opiates and cheese to squeeze out this data dump of dope funky hype jams. Rainy days and ghosts haunt the hallowed halls of bit-rot and vomitous regurgitation. If you can stomach it you'll find diamonds in the roughage at Select BGM.
-
129
Awe Yeah
Pop some nicotine and let the Nite Brite cosmic scenes put some parity error into your wavetable. We're here with another week of generous entrees of bad news music guaranteed to put some pep in your step. Big snort! Discard the merkin and pull out the blue porcupine spines and yellow things with a magnifying glass to kick some ass with us at Select BGM.
-
128
Sho'Nuff
Sho'Nuff is bringing the magic of Scheherazade to your turf so it's time for you to Leroy-up and become the Last Dragon. Jon and Rich will bring a selection of ghetto blasting tunes for your clash at Demonhead and play-by-play the bout with questionable, racial commentary. It's all in good fun here at Select BGM.
-
127
Unexpected Joy
Like a gift from the heavens we have decided to come back and impregnate your ears with the best, most effortless 50% we can give. Lay back, cross your eyes and let the throes of iehova tear up your guts at Select BGM.
-
126
Vanishing Act
We are back for one special show. Come say goodbye and if you want to see over the console to the glory of Hale Bopp then we have a bunk for you.
-
125
Operational Exhaustion
This episode is anything goes because after four years, 125 episodes, and 1500 video game songs played - Jon and Rich are stepping back and taking a sabbatical. We thank all our faithful listeners for sticking with us and look forward to coming back next year with a new show. Or not. Either way, Select BGM in its current form is finished having provided over 125 quality hours of entertainment. Seinfeld only gave you 70 hours so we're way better than Seinfeld. Adios, au revoir, auf wiedersehen... Good Night!
-
124
Send Me An Angel
From the heavens shone a light, and then he stretched out his arms and died on the dance floor. Might sound like a cool story bro, but it's a fact that what you think is real life is sometimes just a ruse perpetrated by angels of the innocent type, but mostly by the ones who boast of their large heavy metal riff collections. Join us on this badly executed ride because it's fire in the gym at Select BGM.
-
123
The Halcyon Days
The days people are proud of are the ones where they were young leeches on society and had a free ride. Spirited and sassy rebellion is a youthful right and not something that flatters aging rock stars. Raise up a toast and salute those who have always kept it simple, or have learned to move beyond their intricate systems of absurdity. Whether it's butter side up or on the rocks, it's all the same. Nothing wrong with reminiscing though, we won't do what you tell us at Select BGM.
-
122
Cola Wars
If you think Coke is it, then the Pepsi Generation would like to have a word with you. Enjoy your Fresca or Tab if you are one of the beautiful people but know that everybody hates your guts. Can't decide, then top up on your meds because you're obviously bi-colar. Crack open a can and hit the battlefield for an effervescent onslaught with Select BGM.
-
121
And Now For Something Completely Different
From the backwoods Jon and Rich bring you a strange brew of forest green, ocean breeze, and witch's essence to make up a vat of chip and orchestral goulash. Dig a hole and keep leaf ready as your stomach may not yet know of these different exotic flavors. Simple times call for stupid measures, and that's what we bring this week. Order a pizza, kick back and get ready to groove to the groan of Sheepsquatch at Select BGM.
-
120
Flat Baroque
If you lived in 18th Century Western Europe the only music to your ears would be the dying screams of alley whores and the dissonant clack of your wooden leg as you hobbled through cobblestone streets to work at the docks in indentured servitude to the shipyard Master. Some select few however, would reside in the royal apartments and lay down phat Baroque beats for King and Country. Rosy those cheeks and strap on your powdered wig as Jon and Rich produce some movements here at Select BGM.
-
119
Catastrophe
Hey Select-BGM-ites, jump on the tiger and ride into the reformed second coming of the church of the new season with Cat-Ass-Trophy. Put down your Reader's Digest and soar your butt pillow through jingles of disaster, catastrophe, felines, and triumphant trophies. Get amped on the frenzied outbursts of pure venomous vice via the seven tongues of Select BGM.
-
118
Sex and Candy
Season 10 erupts in your sweet ears with the return of Eli from the Manimal episode! Our guest reflects warmly about the halcyon days of the '90s when brick and mortar retail was still a thing. We've selected a grip of sexy sweet and silken tunes to ease you into the new season. Like Storm Eagle from Mega Man X. Sexy time. Glad to be back and have you all listening to Select BGM.

117
Best of Season 9
Is it an MRI of an evil baboon or just a pain in your ass? It certainly would matter more if you could travel back to the origin and find peace, but instead you just find the best of tracks from another season of our mediocre show. Enjoy the participation trophy and thank you so much for listening. We're going to be taking a much needed 6 week break. We aren't popular at all, so don't worry about us joining the bathroom hanging club because we don't have the millions of dollars and fame to make us cool enough to do that. We're sad in our own way, and super stoked to have you enjoying the fire of Select BGM.
-
116
Off the Wall
Throw it at the wall and sometimes it splatters, but if it sticks it sticks. This week we bring you another grab-bag episode where the theme is not having one. The synthetic creatures look to the sky and get elevated on processor blasting themes of fantastica while Jon and Rich pontificate aimlessly. Next week we'll do a best of and that'll wrap up Season 9. They can't all be winners, but a winner is you at Select BGM.
-
115
The Old is New
The old and busted is now the new hotness as Jon and Rich select songs from new, retro throw-back video games. Remember getting a new NES game from your parents? With inflation that $44.99 copy of Jackal would now cost $102.94. Take a moment to appreciate that which you have. Enjoy the Square Lead with no millisecond jump delays here at Select BGM.
-
114
Mecha
It's a delicate time when Cowboy Curtis cracks that whip-strap mean. Chani, the second time around didn't quite make it, but in the desert of mecha robot world we have some fantastic tracks of synthetic electro-sophistafunk to Shai your Hulud. Top 3 is a thing now and you have the Touch. Scan our codes and be thankful for the novelty of gurgling up milk through your disembodied head at Select BGM.
-
113
Motoi Sakuraba
Buh-buh-buh BGM of Motoi Sakuraba is the progtastic focus this time. We kick off this tale through the imagination of a legend in the Japanese video game music scene multiple times but there are no false starts. We'll date your mother, talk about the devil, and even resurrect a dead segment of the show. Put on your UK T-Shirt and rock that moustache ride over to the livest show around at Select BGM.
-
112
We Need a Hero
We need a hero and believe it or not, Jon and Rich are answering the call and flying away on a wing and a prayer. What does it take to be a Hero? We'll answer that with 12 songs about heroic virtue. Put away your rampant alcoholism, raise your sword to the heavens and rock-on at Select BGM.
-
111
Treasure Chest
Chip the fabric of reality where the singing computers paralyze you. The shadow people may ask you to go for a hot dog or to just kill 'em in service to the Universal Machine. Crack the box and embrace the voices, dog pee, origami, money, prizes, and the almighty goat lord. It's all positive things at Select BGM.
