MCA of the Beastie Boys the third and last time I saw them live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre September 9, 2004. Photo by Rodney Tanaka.

Strap on your bridles as our “tack-less” hosts take you for a rough ride. Challenge your own horse name knowledge as well as your ability to stomach vulgar sex terms. What is it about these large powerful animals that make men jealous and women’s hearts race? POMP is your MC for this romp in the hay, while Al and RaYzor take turns considering the truth behind these strange aliases.

The Meaning of Life is answered in this episode. Apparently, it is making lists and then sub-lists of those lists. POMP is called to testify but this time it’s not for his own wrong-doings. POMP is planning his next career as an Expert Witness. He is available to mumble critical opinions in his own agitated and monotone voice for a fee. Does Lassie go for help when you drop on the floor from a coronary? Or does she just eat your face and then bust through the screen door. Do you ever wake up to find your pet staring at you with ill-intent? Ray’s cats are certainly plotting his demise.

“Hate the Radio, Change the Radio, Make better Radio.”

Eighteen months and twenty-two days after “Good Year” was released, we have a brand new show (and website) for the remaining people who still want to hear our golden voices. But as our new Twitter (@HatetheRadio) warns, “New show, new site, same old crap.”

“Don’t call it a come back! Time moves on but our heroes continue to have all the same complaints. Getting back to the roots of the conversation, separated again by thousands of miles, RaYzor calls the troops back to the mic. POMP introduces yet another “love” interest. Al is stuck in retail hell. If you are looking for someone to blame, Ray is your man.”

“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.

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?

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!

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.

Brad Sucks – Out of It
Brad Sucks – Dropping out of School

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 just trying to make sense of all this strife … Welcome to My Afterlife.

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.

Theo is an Alchemist who intelligently delves into a wide-range of topics including Free Masons, Illuminati, New World Order, Religion, and U.S. conspiracy theories.

POMP’s Afterlife – Talk Hard is a two hour show you will either love or hate. Let me know which side you’re on, and email me if you think the driver did it.

POMP’s Afterlife – After Taxes is a political show with Avery Fantom, delving into New World Order, Illuminati, and E.T. This is Part One of a Two Part series on Government, and the current state of our economy. It was recorded before the U.S. elections, and it’s our take on why everything in America is completely fucked up.

Thirteen months and twenty-six days after “The Last Supper” was released, or exactly one year to the day I arrived in Houston — we have a brand new “annual update” for the few remaining people that still want to hear our voices. This is a nostalgic episode full of talk about our lives, and reminiscing about the old show. At nearly three hours long this is not a typical episode, but if you were a fan of Hate the Radio, I think you’ll dig it.

“Together again, but not really. The talkative three gather via Skype to discuss the past year’s events in each of their lives. Business as usual other than a bit more stability. It just so happens that at the time of recording all are quite happy with where their paths have taken them. Break and bumper music provided by Brad Sucks. Check out the new album release on September 8th.”

“Hate the Radio, Change the Radio, Make better Radio.”

Check in once a week, once a month, or never again. But damn, if you’re that starved for entertainment this isn’t the place for you. If you want to know what’s up with me, just ask.

This site was much easier to update when I was miserable. I have always found I’m at my (comedic) best when I’m angry and depressed, and lately I’ve had nothing to be upset about. Life is drama-free and pretty good at the moment. I’d tell you more, but not in this boring-ass text format. I also have a very short attention span, and despite its lameness Twitter has fulfilled my need for quick random posts.

The Internet is all about social networking and video now, which is why I think I’m going to start releasing audio on this site. I did a little test record with a friend of mine tonight, and I may do one more in a few hours. I’m a finicky bitch, and more critical of my creative works than I should be, but if I can stomach the results, I’ll post them soon.

For the time being, I will be referring to this site simply as POMP.us. Stay tuned. I still have lots to share with the Internets…

I noticed a lot of hits for our The Crow Harasscast — which is awesome, but equally as awesome are the two other Harasscasts you don’t know about (because POMP did not star in them!).

In the Harass Bastards Episode 1 we took on Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn. For some reason people think this is a good movie. We beg to differ… this is the first official Harasscast. Star Trek fans clicking on this link will most likely have their heads explode and out will fly little Klingon words or something. Remember kids, Star Trek — THE FUTURE – in OVALVISION!!!

The newest Harass Bastards Episode is #3 .. and it is the fine feature film MORTAL KOMBAT that gets our drunken onslaught. Even the dumbest, most hardened lover of all things Mortal Kombat will admit that not only are the video games terrible since MK2, but this film is even worse. You will see where George Lucas got the idea for Qui Gon Jin when you see an old white dude named Raiden strut around in a funny hat and turn into electricity and talk a lot and not kick any ass. You will see Johnny Cage pack like a woman on a trip to Beverly Hills, and whine even more! There will be a Hair vs. Hair battle between Liu Kang and Shang Tsung.

Do not hesitate… go get more Harass Bastards goodness.

Oh and we have a website now. POMP calls it Web 0.2 — however I call it Minimalist Greatness. Check it out — Harassbastards.com

If you haven’t heard POMP sessions yet, it’s still available from the sidebar of this blog. I recorded all three and released them online. I have no plans of continuing therapy, but if I ever go back, I will probably release those too.

And finally, if you haven’t heard The Harass Bastards, you can listen to me “freak out” Ortega and Sideswipe, on the HarassCast we did for the movie The Crow. I hold the distinguished honor of being the first ever “bleep” on a show they promote on the RiffTrax forums with the following line:

“Did you ever want to hear a bunch of immature, offensive drunk guys watch a movie and crack wise? Do you have an hour and half to waste? Well, your wish is granted.”

So download The Crow Harass Bastards.mp3 and try to guess what I said. Here’s a *hint* … it involves a man’s bulbourethral glands.

UPDATE! If you’re a fan of Web 0.2, and by that I mean websites that can be viewed in a text-only Web browser like Lynx — then dust off that old 486 and head over to the newly created www.harassbastards.com. No fancy AJAX here, just good old-fashioned HTML that will load instantly and have you convinced it’s 1995 all over again.

The Harass Bastards is basically a riff track in the vain of MST3K. Each week RaYzor, and two other gentlemen named Ortega and Sideswipe record an audio commentary for a different shitty movie. I appear on Episode 3, and we riffed the 1994 Brandon Lee abomination: The Crow.

If you’re interested, all you have to do is download The Crow Harass Bastards.mp3 from divShare.com and listen to it in sync with the movie.

This was my first time … so please be gentle. If you like it (and they invite me back) I will do more.

Share in my mental breakdown, as I attempt therapy for the last time.

If you want to hear more POMP sessions let me know. And if you have feedback (good or bad) about this little experiment of mine, feel free to use any of the various methods of electronic communication I have posted in the Interact section on the sidebar of this blog.
