Radio Free Burrito: Episode Twenty-Eight

Holy Crap, it's time for a new episode of Radio Free Burrito!

Has it really been three weeks since the last show? I guess it has. Well, I brought a note that will hopefully excuse my absence...

Show Notes:

• The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his "in progress" website. Thanks, Marc!
• Radio Free Burrito doesn't work as hard to earn its [EXPLICIT] tag as Memories of the Futurecast does, but it still manages to upset mom and get Twitter breakup messages from sensitive people. You have been warned.
• This week's theme music is Head On, by Jesus and Mary Chain, from their album Automatic.
• Seriously, check out Slacker; it's awesome.
• This show is almost entirely an interview with Felicia Day about The Guild.
• Turns out neither one of us could remember who that artist was, and my Google-fu in this regard is appallingly weak. Luckily for me, listener McKenneth Blue is a fountain of art (and other) knowledge, and told me that the painter is, in fact, Magritte.
• Patrick Duffy reference!
• Slightly-different Patrick Duffy reference!
• Patrick Duffy leg!
• The Guild: Season 3 at Amazon.
• I played a tiny bit of Elvis Costello's Miracle Man, from the album My Aim is True.
• Unless you hate comedy, you should listen to the nerdist podcast.
• You may also want to listen to Knights of the Guild.
• This episode is about 48MB.
• This episode is about 49 minutes long.
• I am aware that the tags are screwed up and the feed doesn't validate, so unless you're grabbing RFB from iTunes or getting it directly here, it's a giant hassle to get it. I am aware of this problem, but it's a gigantic pain in the ass for me to correct it, given the tools I have available to me. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and I'm very annoyed by it, but I can make a podcast, or I can be a bug-squashing code monkey. I can't do both, and I quite frankly prefer making the podcast. Listener Dave K. built a workaround that you can learn all about here. Thanks, Dave!
• Again, no embedded artwork. This distresses me, but it's Apple's fault, not mine, and it's too much of a pain in the ass to get it done. Hopefully, they'll fix the bug REALLY SOON.
• This is the end of the notes.

Radio Free Burrito: Episode Twenty-Seven

Holy Crap, it's time for a new episode of Radio Free Burrito!

Let's all celebrate the departure of the Goddamn Motherfucking Bulldozer with a reading from Just A Geek!

Show Notes:

• The logo was designed by WWdN:iX reader Marc, who asked that I not link to his "in progress" website. Thanks, Marc!
• Radio Free Burrito doesn't work as hard to earn its [EXPLICIT] tag as Memories of the Futurecast does, but it still manages to upset mom and get Twitter breakup messages from sensitive people. You have been warned.
• This week's theme music is Enjoy The Silence , by Depeche Mode, from their seminal album Violator .
• The Reddit post about DM, in case you wanted to see it.
• The volume of nostalgic commercials at YouTube is staggering and wonderful. Here's the Commodore 64 commercial I played today.
• Here's William Fucking Shatner beaming in from the future to tell us all about the wonder computer of the 1980s.
• The song I wanted to play but ended up having to cut is called Misery, by The Dynamics. It seems a little silly that I can link to a version of it and that's fine, but if I actually played it in the podcast, I could get into trouble.
• Last week, I said, "I just realized that I have friends who do awesome things, and I should make them the unofficial sponsors of RFB each week, so RFB listeners can discover nifty things. I hope I remember to do that next week." Oh shit. I forgot to do that this week.
• Today, I read a modified version of The Wesley Dialogs from Just A Geek.
• This episode is about 35MB.
• This episode is about 36 minutes long.
