NEW - B.U.Z.Z. Radio Basement #8: Brain-damaged Deja Vu

One more time in the M.S.I.G. Army vault... one more time if you please... some of my favorite moments and some of my favorite music from 2 and a half years improvising shtick and learning digital production with punk Jedi-master Mikey.

I get by with a little help from my friends on this one... Joe the Assyrian digitally re-edited and re-mastered as Fake Mayor Daley...unanimously regarded as the funniest bit ever done on MSIG Radio and more proof that we are bi-partisan, equal opportunity satirists (though the current Bush Administration holds a special place in our hearts and in our spleens), Doc Canonbong as President Satan, Nurse Terryn not wanting to be on the radio, Lamont from Rogers Park asking if there's anything more amateur and unprofessional than this, Mary Jane Marvel... who brought back the sexy; and last but not least, the fearless leader of odor ideology... Mikey Snot, my co-host on Over The Top.

That's my boy, Buzz Jr., at the start... "Hey, you're listening to my dad's show" was from Dec. '04 when he had recently turned 3... then at the end of the show, watching the World Series with me in '05 just after he turned 4. I neglected to dig up the old sound clip from Over The Top when Mikey was arguing with me that the White Sox would not even make the playoffs. Thanks also to Katya for her special guest appearance on an earlier show. I hope I get a chance to use some of the outtakes from that on future shows... look for them in December '08.

Special thanks to Jim Willgoose for sending me the wonderfully produced cover version of Apache by one of the hundreds of nameless, unfamous bar bands he was in. Congrats to him for finally using his doctorate in philosophy for teaching philosophy. I hope it won't be the death of his musical career, but a new chapter in it.

And congrats to me for taking my training and experience as an organizer and going back to the campaign trail with it. I am a Volunteer for America... Volunteer for America...

In addition to a few outtakes and surprises, the songs on this show...

1. Dick About It---M.O.T.O.
2. Gangrene---The Rugburns
3. The Ballad of G.W.---MDC
4. The Italian Song---The Gits
5. Side Effects---Tension Wire
6. I Wanna Destroy You---The Soft Boys
7. Rat Patrol---Naked Raygun
8. Illin Oi---U.S. Skeletons

Thanks to Kelly for putting up with Mikey and I having our shouting matches in the basement, and Mikey for the hundreds of old school professionally drawn shots of espresso... the Italian Song is especially for him... and to Mary Jane for enjoying the show so much, she became a part of it.

Thanks to everyone who enabled my recent sabbatical... The Ex, Les and the kids, Robert and the Herzog girls, Paul Matalonis and Kathy Livingston...the Unitarians... Huber, etc. Thanks again to Mikey and MSIG Army, Brady C., House of Blues San Diego and Turbonegro for providing Mary Jane and I with the ultimate loud, throbbing punk rock date.

Shalom, yo.

B.U.Z.Z. Radio Basement #6: Internet Sandwich

It's a real internet sandwich. Mary Jane Marvel backs up her first MSIG Army blog with more wonders of the world wide web. In the studio with internet legend in his own mind Buzz Fugazi, Mary Jane and Buzz spin bands from MySpace and a couple of recently converted to digital cuts, Brownsville Station and the Judy's from an 18 year old cassette mix by underground dj David Roy Behm. Thanks to Jupiter from MySpace Jews for the link to the UN Watch audio, Not So Easy E turned us onto her pals from Clobbersaurus, Knife of Simpson I discovered with random MySpace surfing and Freedom Tank just seemed to go in with the subtext of the show, which, as always, attempts to be the authentic soundtrack of the Bush Administration.

Free Lance Muse, Eve, provided samples of power pop Saving Jane. I sort of see that as a gay love song for the President and whatever the latest bogus good news is that's supposed to make us feel better about not spending every waking moment trying to get him and the Vice President impeached. Power soul Swapmeet Louie also comes via Eve. Just a bit of softness and light to balance out the bare lightbulb angst Mary Jane and Buzz cheerfully pump out with the Dammit Boys and Fugazi.

Songs on this show

1. Fugazi---Bad Mouth
2. Dammit Boys---They
3. Clobbersaurus---Clobbersaurus Rox
4. Knife of Simpson---Freedom Tank
5. The Judy's---Guyana Punch

Show number 13 Buzz Fugazi nterviews the fake Mayor of Chicago and an MSIG Army tribute to the women of Punk Rock. We tried to represent all but there were too many bands to choose from. So some bands that we rehashed for this show from earlier shows and added some new bands and some 90's as well. A nice mix of old 80's and new stuff to rock your joint. We might carry the theme over for the next show. SO 14 will be coming around in the next millennium or so. Punk Rock. Thanks to Joe the Assyrian as the fake Mayor of Chicago.

Show number 12 Sorry, no interviews this time just some bits and pieces of Over the Top insanity. We take a poke at Ann Coulter and all the fine, fine public self-servants that have been raping this country for way too long. The honorable mentions are Donald Rumsfeld, Kathrine Harris, George Allen, and my personal favorite self serving public servant Rick Santorum. Opening sequence song by Throbbing Gristle off their album Heathen Earth. Also used the song Na-Na-Na by Steam for the goodbye epilogue. You also have to hear the bit by Stephanie Miller talking to Rush wanna bee Sock. And they refer to us as the lunatic left.

Well here it is the infamous Impulse Manslaughter interview that was conducted at the Lost Cross House back in January 1987. The tape that was lost for 15 years and then unearthed in a box in my attic, discovered while moving into my new home. The tape had to be manually forwarded to the end and then back in order to loosen it up so that I could digitize it for the MSIG archive vaults. This is an audio podcast interview.
