guest cast


You might think this is a ridiculous cast... and maybe it is. But it's MY ridiculous cast, and I love her.

Please feel free to rip on all but the first song. Ripping on the first song, won't get you anywhere.

NAPcast 61 Thin Lizzy

Photobucket

As I mention in the intro, I really wanted to have more time to put together a Thin Lizzy cast that I could really get behind. I am still behind this one, I just wish I could have brought you more.

Any volunteers for future host gigs? I'm always listening.

I'm a good listener.



Here's some useless information for you though:

Andy Garcia was a conjoined twin.
Debra Winger was the voice of E.T.
During Melville's lifetime, MOBY DICK only sold 50 copies.
Some toothpaste contains anti-freeze.
The eyes of some birds weigh more than their brains.
Armadillos have four babies at a time and they are always the same sex, and they can walk underwater.
There are about 5,000 different languages spoken on Earth.
Boris Karloff is the narrator for the Grinch who stole xmas cartoon.
Sheryl Crow's two front teeth are fake. She busted them out tripping because she rocked so hard at one of her concerts.
Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady" was about Vince Neil.
and finally,
Van Gogh who began painting at 27, cut off his LEFT ear. His self portrait with bandaged ear shows his right ear covered up, because he used a mirror to paint himself.

Sorry about the playlist typos.
And the Rest of the Day to yourself.

NAPcast 38



Thanks for the interesting submissions this week. I liked this podcast, even though I really struggled with the arrangement of it all. Sometimes I wish I could just toss them all on there and not care about the order. It would save me so much time.

I really enjoyed Heidi's submissions this week. Cool stuff. Also, be sure to check this episode out to hear Anaconda's "The Moment To Move" song which was discussed in his recent post. John Cramer has let me use "Seven Long Years" by Project Grimm who, as many of you know, he played guitar and sang for. Great song.

Baleen requested that I use Gertrude Stein's piece on Matisse from UBU. I hope no one minds that I backed it with some Tortoise. I wasn't sure how her piece would go over by itself, even though I support the use of non-musical additions to the podcast, with the exception of maybe 5 minutes of silence for those listeners who want to put a record on.

The track "Underwater (Staggie)" submitted by Ramon is by the musical project Hearts Of Animals who he reviewed in his Saturday post. The artists name is listed on the artwork rather than Hearts Of Animals.

The paintings used in the artwork of this episode are a couple of years old. Actually "Pile Up" which is the one on top is about ten years old. It's about 6'X6' and was done with acrylic on canvas. It has elements that are pretty typical of my style when I do not set out to create something specific. I'm not sure if it still exists. It's possible it was one of many that were in storage and eaten by rats in Texas. The "guerrilla" piece is about 6"X6" and was a paint spill that looked like an ape to me. It was painted about three years ago and resides in Sitka, Alaska. I know I have typically created collages for the podcast. I would like to use more original artwork when possible, and when I can stand to look at it. If you have any original artwork or photography that you would like to submit for use with the podcast art, please see my profile for an email address to send it to.

I hope you like this episode. I do, even though it starts with a dragged out and fairly uninformative intro. I had to upload it from home. Uploading from home means 75MB at 4.7 KB/s. That's right. File that under Taking one for the team.

Thanks to Charlie Naked for doing last week's podcast. Anyone interested in doing the Halloween cast?

Napcast 37

Hey all. This is my first time doing a NAPcast, and I think by the end of it I got the hang of it. Not the actual putting together of the cast, as that's the easy part. Let's just say I'm fairly behind the curve on this stuff, and leave it at that.

For my own part, I included a couple of Caustic Resin songs as per Head Stapler's request; I can only assume she's enjoying them as much as I am. They're a great band of which the leading internet music criticism trope seems to be (in some form or fashion) that they are the bastard inbred cousins-twice-removed (or some such whatnot) of much better-known Boise band Built to Spill. The groups are close, and I know Brett Netson, the lead singer/guitarist for Caustic Resin, frequently plays second guitar for BTS on tour. Anyway, I like this band. The name fits, for one thing. Actually, I have to recommend buying one of their albums to get a true taste for them. My personal favorite is The Medicine Is All Gone, from which I submitted "Cable" last time, but Trick Question, from which this cast's "Taste" comes, is also a good one. Plus, they let the drummer contribute a song to most of their albums, and his songs are very different from the rest of the songs, so that's always a plus in my book. Variety, spice, life, all that.

Anyway, that's all just diversion. I really wanted to mention my other inclusion, "Junkman's Song" by Stark Reality. Stark Reality was a Boston electric jazz/funk group featuring a very young John Abercrombie on guitar. I'll be honest; I haven't ever listened to the guy's solo output because most of it's on ECM, and I can count the number of artists with music I can stand on ECM on one hand, but I don't know. I'm prejudiced, I guess. On the album this song came from, Now, he's awesome I think, but the main attraction is the vibist, whose name I forget. This album represents the most badass a set of vibes could ever sound, as the instrument isn't exactly predisposed towards that description. Cool, maybe. Haunting, certainly, in the right hands. But this guy amps up his vibes through distortion pedals and such, and it sounds great. On this track in particular I didn't even realize that sound was the vibes at first.

The group only had one recording, a collection of children's tunes by Hoagy Carmichael, which they ran through their own style until it's absolutely trippy and very weird. The whole album's like that. I especially dig grooving on the song about how many days there are in the twelve months ("thirty days, hath September..." and so on). "Junkman's Song" is the lead-off track, and totally blew my mind the first time I heard it. It's a kid's song, but the way they play it, it sounds like the kind of music you'd hear in one of those kitschy movies about the 60s when some young hippie is trying acid for the first time at some swinging club in New York City, and the world is an exhilarating haze of incense, pot, loose chicks with long hair, patchouli, and dudes with long hair and frizzly beards looking right into your dilated pupils with an intensity that no sober man could muster, and asking you if you've ever looked at your hands, man, really looked at your hands. Man.

Napcast 36 or The Killing Spree of Saturday Night

I am posting this now, because the podcast is finished, and to give Heidi a break from her blog woes today.

Hello. This podcast will accompany a tale of Aleutian village living. I've shared a couple of stories about what it's like to live in this small village. So some of you have heard me tell of the things I will kick off this post with. Hang in there if you've heard it all before. I promise that I'll eventually get to the killing spree of Saturday night.

It's kind of hard for people to relate to living on this island because of the extreme differences between here and, say, where you are right now. We don't have any law enforcement. There's no Churches. There's no 911 operators. There's no swimming pools. There's no pavement. There's no movie theater. No cell phone service. No AM/FM radio. Sometimes I can catch NPR in between native village birthday messages and NOAA weather reports from a station in Dillingham, when the weather isn't shitty. The weather is always shitty. In fact, it's a favorite past time to insult the pussy storms in other places... places like where you live.


We do have some things here that you probably have there. Like clouds (but our sky has a smaller ceiling) and all kinds of berries and eclectic geologists and electricity and plumbing and the occasional spat of generosity and good times and ... Oprah moments. Our produce is all two weeks old when we get it off of the barge, but wait... ah. You almost had me there. See how easy it is for me to try and lose to your cheap buffet of excessive resources? It's tricky looking positive next to you... Don't try to help me. I've lived in both worlds and I'll only abuse your soft spot.

There's 6 children in the school.

There's about thirty of us on this island right now. In the past few months, we have held three funerals. Two people drowned off of our docks. Many other villages held contempt for our string of losses, and most of these tragedies were because of transient people's bullshit. All of us in the village are still freshly mourning our dead beloved, as a 1,000 mile long second rate trail of ink pours salt in our wounds with slanderous accusations from dirt bag reporters. Dear Dirt Bags, You suck at journalism and your intuition is pretty bad too.

Russian Orthodox funeral services are a very somber affair. So, I won't additionally crud up the memory of people we've lost by talking shit on the coke-guzzling priest that flew in here to whip up some holy water in a pot I left at the last spaghetti dinner and take cash donations for his troubles. You wanna know what holy water looks and smells like after it has sat for a month? It looks like malaria and smells like plague.

My dog was killed by wolves at summer's onset along with 5 other dogs here. There's no leash law. Dogs are untethered. Ever lived in a place where packs of dogs run the streets? We can't even euthanize them legally. If a dog can't be helped by me after being torn apart in a gang fight or run over, they get shot in the head at the garbage dump. That's pretty much THE option. Some cops in Dutch Harbor declined having injectable drugs to put down dogs, because they said "It could fall into the wrong hands and it's easier to just shoot them." Uh... Stellar work guys. Thanks for that. I hear there's positions open in Reno.

Dogs are largely allowed to run wild because of bears. This is a refuge with a thousand or so bears. Grizzly Bears kill salmon less than 50 feet from my front door in the creek's terminus... A float plane that seats 4 people comes to bring mail when the weather doesn't suck. The weather always sucks. We don't have runway lights.

It's a hard place to live, though it's gotten easier in the past 100 years, but it still holds the character of it's former self. The population swells in the summers when fishing is more lucrative. Violence and drunken crimes have always been par for the course. The Village has shriveled in the past few years. Marine traffic is slower due to IFQ's. A highlight, I suppose is that a harbor is being built. A land based value added seafood processing plant is under construction also. When it is eventually completed, the work force brought in to fill it will double our population. ... with more fucked up people usually. People who don't do so hot when getting their first dose of the real wild west. Anyways, the only way for this place to survive right now is with this development. So, good luck to us I guess.

But this is all just a little background information. There's more to this place than the hardships. There's beauty EVERYWHERE. But for the sake of brevity, I want to tell you what happened here last night, and I've already gone too far in to the set up.

We communicate largely via a VHF radio. CB radio essentially. Some people don't have phones, or we need to know what's going on in town if we are outside or on boats, so the radio is an essential part of our life. I am one of two medics here. My title is actually different from a medic, but think of me as a crappily outfitted field nurse in a place with no doctors, and only one or two EMTs who are never sober.

"911! 911! Emergency at X's house! Please come help us" It was shrieked over the radio at about 11 pm.

We have learned to not run out the door without knowing what kind of an emergency we are responding to. If it's a fire and we show up with no water.. that house is gone. At least this person identified the location. The whole village has torn off in every direction trying to help when someone's last transmission was "Fire! Fire! Help!". One of the saddest days here, was when we heard that the mayor's fishing boat was on fire. Million dollar investments gone. Livli-hood threatened. Sons no longer inherit a boat. It's honestly devastating. Alot of people don't recover from that. This family is though. But, that morning on the beach, standing and watching his boat burn. Watching 4 guys in a smoke engulfed skiff trying to save this village icon in 60 mile per hour winds... broke my heart. Here I am on the shore with oxygen tanks and juice when you're done failing... Where was I? Oh yeah. The murders.

"What is going on?" My husband answers.

Completely distraught, the woman yells, "Oh god. He's crazy! ... Killing everyone. ... 4 people.... blood everywhere.... house is destroyed.... they're beating the hell out of us. Won't anyone come. Send the Medic. Send the medic!"

As much as I think that running into a slaughter and donning my Punisher/Nightingale superwear, there is Reality ... first rule is scene safety. You can't help if you're dead.

Of course I am wondering who the killer is, since we know everyone here. I assume it is the burly blonde dude that jumped off of a boat last night when he quit his job. This isn't Seattle. You don't just dump your fucked crew members on us without warning. Thanks F/V Determined. My point is that there was a stranger wandering around town with nowhere to stay (not unusual)... and rumor had it that he was a little off. He was from Virginia and had done a tour in Iraq... So you know.. He could be our killer. If you are interested in my story of how a former pseudo cop attacked himself and tried to blame it on Ninjas, let me know. But I digress. Jesus. It's like I can't get out of the set up.

"This is the medic. I can hear you. Who is killing people? Where is the killer? How many people are hurt? What kind of injuries do you have" I say.

"I don't know. You're the medic. Won't anyone please come. oh god. help. Knives and his eye ball is hanging out. Why isn't anyone coming?" She shrieks.

"I need to know that the scene is safe for me to go in there, I have to know more details . As soon as someone can clearly explain to me what is going on up there,... I will come and help you." I say. My heart racing. Wanting to go, but knowing better especially since everyone here has guns. I am on the phone with three men as this is going on. Trying to get the guys to go check it out first. I mean, killers? No cops... The men aren't too interested in a shit storm either, but accept the request to investigate, knowing someone has to do it. They all have guns too.

During this exchange on the radio, this super drama queen who works at the post office has jumped on the radio, wasted, to put her two cents in. Nothing important to say really. No service to offer, in the midst of a major crisis. Just being a fucking moron. What's she gonna do, show up and lick some stamps for me in triage? That was my chance to finally give her what for, but my husband beats me to it and tells her to get the fuck off the radio until we know what's going on. She was at a bonfire here, drunk off her lips, telling people that they were partying with a federal employee. In her swimming eyes, she is an extension of the president. Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention. Fuck the President and you suck at being a Postmaster.

Calls start coming back to me that there isn't shit happening at the house in the valley where the calls are coming from. Everyone inside has been drinking for days. There's no blood. No one is dead. No massacre. I don't doubt that there was some kind of domestic disturbance to kick off the calls, but seriously. What the fuck? "He's killing everyone"? "Eyeballs hanging"? I still had to go out and see for myself, so I wasn't being negligent. I left out some other details of the radio chatter, that would make this story even more interesting... But I'm already being a wind bag about one night in my little world.

After the fact, my husband was kicking himself for "falling for it." Falling for what? If a family is drinking and they have a history of violence, what else are you supposed to assume? That announcing a massacre is a joke? We have no lifeline here. We don't have the luxury of guessing people's motivations. We have no choice but to respond because we are all directly impacted by every single thing that goes down here. These people aren't natural comedians either, so I've pretty much given up on there being any decent comedy on the radio, like that households are being mowed down by some crazy fucker who's killing everyone.

This place isn't new to fucked up radio chatter, but that was a new one for sure. I thought I had heard it all on the radio here. I've been part of some of it, I guess. But it can be fucking mental here. Residents get blasted and play the most obscure music. Shit from the Twilight Zone. Gummo country. I think I did hear "Blue Bayou" once though... But I may have created that memory. If people can fabricate entire crime scenes for me to deal with, then I am a god damned amateur at story telling if all I've got here is some hallucinated Linda Ronstadt. People playing crap on the radio is a pain in the ass for a couple of reasons. If someone is using the airspace, you can only receive the transmission, and not transmit over it. If you happen to be sleeping when useless garbage is playing on the VHF, you would think that getting on there between songs and telling the person to shut the fuck up would be a wise thing to do. Not wise. Not wise at all. But you can't turn the radio down, because it's used to communicate things like you know... tsunami's, volcanic ash, a constant string of earthquakes, men overboard, bears, freighters, the ferry and general distress calls like "bloody murder".

It's interesting to note, that we just purchased the property in the photo at the top of this post, last week from the crazed lady of this story on the VHF. (You could say we enabled her binge, and many more to come, with the money paid for it.) I can't wait until it's completely renovated and she returns to visit her sister here. She will see what we've done to the place and probably burn it to the fucking ground or assault our tenants. Someone gave me a letter that she wrote to our City Council here 15 years ago. It was about how upset she was that the pseudo cop we had at the time had murdered her family dog in the corridor of their house. I never knew why the letter was supposed to be humorous until last night. Now I get it. That lady is fucking whack.

Oh and you know what. A friend was recently telling me the story of the man who gave up all his possessions and trekked off into Alaska. Sean Penn adapted the book into a movie about his life which is coming out soon. My friend asked me what I thought. And it's the same way I thought about the Grizzly Man documentary. The story in general. Good for you if you're an adventuresome naturalist. But I will never be totally inspired by your story because you made stupid choices and died. I'd rather watch 30 Days of Night, with zombies killing people in the Arctic Circle, than watch another depressing example of Man vs. Nature. Maybe that's because I live in that Bush, instead of where the majority of you live, where stories like that are generally touching and inspiring.


So, in conclusion... I am a misfit, but uh... looking around me. I'm pretty sure I am one of the stable ones. And I am not saying that this is THE most fucked up place to live on Earth, but it's pretty fucking fucked up. So, Hello from Alaska, bitches. Hope you like this podcast episode. Look forward to Charlie Naked hosting next weeks podcast. As usual, you can hear the episode by clicking on the link of the NAP home page. Oh yeah. And Anaconda, I know you weren't pitting vinyl against mp3s etc... but I didn't have time to script my intro. Finally, the play list will show up in your itunes window now when listening.

NAPcast XI is Posted, you Bastards!


Click on the play list to go to the embedded player, or use the link on the right margin of this blog.



Last week's NTT was "Chase" from the Midnight Express soundtrack performed by Giorgio Moroder. (Hope I pronounced it right, though I probably butchered it.) The song was provided by Mr. Anaconda and guessed by Matthew. Matthew has given us this weeks NTT. Please submit your guesses here, in the comments section.

Thanks to everyone who submitted music. (Doug, I selected for you again, hope they're ok. They're ok. You're ok.) I hope you enjoy it, (76 MB uploaded at 4.5KB/s. Yay me.) Please let me know what you think of the sound quality this week. I did something different.

Last weeks Name That Tune Challenge was "Baby Elephant Walk" by Henry Mancini.

Clinton provided the music for this week's NTT challenge, because he was the first person to correctly identify the Mancini song, though a couple of you came close. (Thanks!)

If you have an easier time viewing the embedded player, go HERE.



Last weeks Name That Tune Challenge was "Right Down The Line" by Gerry Rafferty. It was easy, because I failed to remove the song and artist name from the track when I imported it into Garage Band. So, if you were using the player from the Podomatic site, it would have listed it for you.

Mr Anaconda has provided the music for this week's NTT challenge. (Thanks!)
