Due to a situation at work I don't want to write about my life is going to be fucked for awhile. I'm really tired and in a horrible mood. Thanks to all of you for tuning in and I promise to try and be back on Saturday July 18, and in a better mood. Till then know I really appreciate you tuning in to the show and I apoligize for taking it off the air for over a week.
Thanks to "Boris" who's already prepared art for next week, sorry to put it on hold, Daddio, but we'll use it the following week, it'll give everybody a good excuse to tune back in.
See you all soon, I hope and try to keep laughing! Sometimes that's all you can do.
Cheers,
Marty
P.S. I want to leave you laughing till July 18, so here's a great Albert Brooks clip!
Okay, this is a quiz using sign language. Below is a sign language chart and below that are the charts that provide the letters to today’s answer. And here’s the question:
This is a drink that Michael Jackson would give to young boys before he would rape them. Name the drink and what Michael Jackson is now. The winner gets my copy of Hello Magazine with Jackoff on the cover. Good luck!
The Drink (the letter J is used twice once in each word, the letter E is used twice, once in each word, the letter S is used twice in the first word and the letter U is used twice once in each word.)
What Michael Jackson is now(The letters D and E are used twice.)
Okay so it looks like I’m stuck on the dayshift for this week and next week, and there’s big weirdness going on where I work. I don’t want to go on about my work situation, because I just don’t want to, but it will affect the show and while I will have a full show today, sadly because of my situation I will be “off the air” tomorrow and Friday. I’ll post Saturday what’s going on and I hope I don’t lost all of you and I appreciate you tuning in. Again, there will be a full show today, but I’ll be on hiatus tomorrow and Friday. Sorry.
On the upside today, there’s great Home Page artwork by “Boris” once again. And once again let me remind you that “Boris” is available for freelance artwork be it CD covers, logos, website art or whatever, just send me an email and I’ll forward it along.
Okay, all weirdness aside, we do have multiple updates today here and at fishwrap and the Daily Photo and Condensed Gossip will be up soon, so stay tuned or check back at the bottom of the Home Page.
(Once again posted early because of having to work the rotten dayshift. Today was a really rotten day at work and tomorrow probably won't be much better. I'll do the best I can with this, but don't expect much!)

I had an incredibly fucked up day today at work. People getting fired right and left, a real shitstorm, and I'm working the dayshift which I hate and It makes it hard to write stuff for here. So I'm posting this late and I think maybe I've posted it before, but if so, it's worth watching again. I gotta go get a beer now! Enjoy!
Just a reminder to check out our Special Guest Star of the week, Frankie Headbanger. Frankie was kind enough to share some photos and memories with us and if you haven’t stopped by, do so now and give him a shout out. Just click here: Frankie Headbanger.
Congratulations to Jason Hwang who correctly answered the answers to yesterdays Squeal of Fortune! Thanks to biff, Meleah Rebeccah, wendylouwho and Joey D for chiming in. The correct answers are:
Recording Artist: The Sugarhill Gang
Song: “Rapper’s Delight”
Sampled song: “Good Times”
I remember when I first heard this song and thought, “What the fuck is this?” I lived in Peoria at the time and all my friends hated it, but I thought it was cool, because it was a brand new kind of musical genre. Here’s an excerpt from Wikipedia on “Rapper’s Delight.”
In late 1979, Debbie Harry suggested that Nile Rodgers join her and Chris Stein at a hip hop event, which at the time was a communal space taken over by young kids and teenagers with boom box stereos, which would play various pieces of music that performers would break dance to. The main piece of music they would use was the break section of Chic's "Good Times," which Harry wanted Rodgers to appreciate. Rodgers experienced this event the first time himself at a high school in the Bronx.
A few weeks later, Blondie, The Clash and Chic were playing a gig in New York at Bonds nightclub. When Chic started playing "Good Times" then rapper Fab Five Freddy and what were the members of the Sugarhill Gang jumped up on stage and started free styling with the band - Chic joined in and let them as Rodgers puts it "do their improvisation thing like poets, much like I would playing guitar with Prince." A few weeks later Rodgers was on the dance floor of New York club LaViticus and suddenly heard the DJ play a song which opened with Edwards bass line from Good Times. Rodgers approached the DJ who said he was playing a record he had just bought that day in Harlem. The song turned out to be an early version of "Rapper's Delight," which Rodgers noted also included a scratched version of the song's string section. Rodgers and Edwards threatened legal action over copyright, which resulted in them being credited as co-writers.[1] Rodgers admitted that he was originally upset with the song, but would later declare it to be "one of [his] favorite songs of all time." He also stated that "as innovative and important as ‘Good Times’ was, ‘Rapper’s Delight’ was just as much, if not more so."
"Rapper's Delight" hit #36 on the U.S. pop charts, #4 on the U.S. R&B charts, #1 on the Canada Singles Chart, #3 on the UK singles chart, and #2 on VH1's top 100 hip-hop songs of all time. In 1979 it became the first hip-hop single to go gold. The following year, the song was the anchor of the group's first album The Sugarhill Gang.
And here’s the video:
Once again, congratulations to Jason and we’ll see you next week on...SQUEAL OF FORTUNE!
