In this episode, I get mad about gaming (and I REALLY get there!), happy about the Muppets, happy about music, and very happy about the achievements of a friend. Meanwhile, Jonco the cat goes mad with power (and a cardboard box). It's a fun episode! I do a lot of cussing! Dig it!

Things went sideways! Twice! In different ways! There's about to be a Fab 15 episode, but it'll be a little later this week. So here's where we are in the meantime.

...boy you can really hear my fridge running in this episode. Ah well...
In this week's episode, I talk about the last couple of years of Doctor Who with particular focus on Jodie Whittaker's final episode. Then I get into music and talk about the recent releases from Paramore, Feist, The Hold Steady, Manchester Orchestra, and Metallica. And I close out the show by begging for money. So there's a little bit of everything. Enjoy!

A brief phone update. Short version, I've hurt myself just badly enough that I can't record a show right now. Back soon. Thanks for your patience.

In this episode, I play my new album "Third Act Problems" and talk over it the whole time, in a madcap ruse to try to frustrate you into downloading it. (Or...y'know...think of it as a commentary track.) That's pretty much it. You'll enjoy it or you won't. That's up to you. I'm not responsible for your mood.
Thanks for listening!

Sorry Checkmates...no new episode this week. But I wanted to at least talk to you for a couple of minutes and tell you why. Thanks for your continued support. The show will return next week, assuming nothing bad happens to me in the meantime. Thanks again!

In another FAST CASH episode (that's almost too long to be a FAST CASH), I talk about the new U2 release, "Songs of Surrender." And that's it. I also whine about being tired. But it's mostly U2.

In a format I suddenly remembered I used to do sometimes, here's a super-short "FAST CASH" episode of the show, where we're out in like 20 minutes. In it, I give my thoughts on Mel Brooks' "History of the World Part II" which is now streaming on Hulu. There's some spoiler-ish stuff, so bear that in mind.
