There’s this new Seven Things meme spreading around the Internet like an STD. Basically the rules go as follows:

“Each player starts with seven random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write on their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. You need to choose seven people to get tagged and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!”

As many of you know, I love airing my dirty secrets publicly. But rather than blog abut my random facts and habits, I figured why not record them in an audio form? So Al Lock joined me once again, and we did just that in a one hour and thirty-seven minute show I’m calling POMP’s Afterlife – Seven Things.

Music:

Avery Fantom – What’s Love Worth featuring Bobby Hook
Brad Sucks – Overreacting
Bad Religion – Infected

Just because I don’t leave my house, doesn’t mean drama escapes me. This week’s show is a throwback to Hate the Radio. It’s a more personal recording in the vain of POMP sessions. I don’t plan on doing these very often, but from time-to-time I will release them as I deem appropriate.

In this show I share two stories with Alan Lock, one about a home invasion in Colorado that my wife was involved in, and the other one is something I have never talked about publicly. I have close friends and family I’ve never even shared this story with.

So sit back, and try to enjoy a 32 minute confessional I call POMP’s Afterlife – What’s Up?

Music:

Brad Sucks – SoS (cover) w/TheHipCola
Brad Sucks – Gangsta Love
Jon Lajoie – Everyday Normal Crew

As promised, I have a brand new offering to the Internets. Avery Fantom joins me once again to discuss love, homosexuality, and dog training — all with a sense of humility that is uniquely his. POMP’s Afterlife – Fantom Menace is a 41 minute (one-sided) conversation, that is typical of the drunken late night calls I regularly receive. It also features a slightly tweaked intro and two new Deep Tweets.

Music:

Brad Sucks – Total Breakdown

This is my final test record, and yet the audio quality is much improved over the previous Skype shows. I’ll be back in the New Year with brand new shows, recorded with brand new equipment. I will sound so goddamn good, you’ll swear I’m following you around the house with a microphone. Oh, and if you define “borked” as totally fucking something up, usually by doing something stupid. Then that is exactly what I did to my iTunes feed. But, it’s fixed now … so Subscribe away!

On POMP’s Afterlife – Brad Sucks, I discuss the concept of Old Media vs. New Media with my former Hate the Radio co-host Alan Lock. If you’d like to hear what that audio sounds like when it’s not edited by a tone deaf retard, you can listen to New Media in the Audio Player above, or head over to AmbushRadio.com for the download link, show notes, and other audio goodness.

If you follow me on Twitter, you shouldn’t. But if you do, you may have seen that POMP’s Afterlife – Brad Sucks has been out since November 22nd. Now that I’m no longer locked out of my blog, I can write some shitty show notes.

This week’s co-host is Alan Lock of AmbushRadio.com, and HatetheRadio.com. It features music, and a rather lengthy appearance by Mr. Brad Sucks, one of the coolest people I’ve ever had the opportunity to talk to. It’s awesome being in a position to speak with somebody you really admire, and Brad is definitely somebody.

This week’s show topic is Old Media vs. New Media, and how old media is getting their asses kicked thanks to  DLNA/UPnP media servers such as the Xbox 360 and the PS3, as well as online streaming services like Hulu, Joost, Netflix Watch Instantly, and the newly announced Sling.com beta. And that’s literally just to name a few. We delve into everything from bandwidth caps to American politics in this unusually long show. It’s 2 hours and 37 minutes, and it won’t offend me if you use your fast forward button, fall asleep to it, or lose your concentration during personal fornication.

Music:

Brad Sucks – Out of It
Brad Sucks – Dropping out of School
Brad Sucks – Dirtbag
Brad Sucks – Thanks for the Add

I’m unhappy with the audio quality of this release, but I am working on it. The equipment is all in place, so it solely falls in the hands of the producer. Unfortunately, I’m the producer. I have one more Skype show to release, then *hopefully* there should be a significant increase in audio quality.

I’m back bitches. Google locked me out of my blog for being a spammer. I’m not sure how that works, since there are no ads on this site or in my show, and the only viruses I spread are transmitted person-to-person. I don’t even email my own family and friends, let alone the anonymous douchebags that read this thing.

The fact that a company (whose many services I use and promote daily) can lock me out of a blog I’ve been occasisonally updating since 2003 really pisses me off. So if laziness doesn’t prevail, I will be moving this entire site off Blogger, and setting up a WordPress blog on my own server. It’s the logical evolution of this “blite” — which is why I’ve avoided it for so long.
