I am completely baffled concerning why more people don't tune in to online radio, & especially podcasts. Online radio is always there, just like FM, & often without the interrruption of advertisements. With podcasts you can even save the show & replay forever. Two years ago, I was fortunate when I saw a new mashup podcast from the UK was starting. I listened from the first episode & am still enjoying the incredible weekly podcast RAMDOM THOUGHTS.
Hosted by Scott Johnson aka DateableScotty, RAMDOM THOUGHTS features the cream of the crop of current mashups, bootlegs, & remixes. Personally selected by the immaculate musical tastes of DateableScotty, you won't hear a better selection in any other show. Often he features exclusive tracks before their release. Recent shows featured such unreleased tracks as DJ Spider's 'Shut Up & Dance Dance Dance' (Chic vs Rihanna), Eamezey's 'Another Way To Dance' (Young Love vs Justice vs Daft Punk), & even an exclusive long mix from the inestimable Colatron, 'Electronic Voice Phenomena Mix'.
All shows are still available with the additional feature of links to downloads, a week after the show has premiered. With a format like that, & such topnotch programming, it's no wonder the 100th episode is upcoming soon. The centennial show is rumoured to be featuring ALL EXCLUSIVES! What a concept! With talent in recent shows such as Soulwax, Divide & Kreate, & Pheugoo, one can only drool in anticipation of the mashup goodies awaiting.
I'm subscribed to the show in iTunes, so it updates every weekend. The show is 'no charge', but feel free to make a modest donation to defray Scotty's costs. The track listing is visible on all iPods & iPhones. You can even see the track's artwork on your iPhone while playing. This is the happening-est podcast show of 2008.
Certainly the occasion of the 100th RAMDOM THOUGHTS is sufficient cause for celebration, but we have a better reason to shout & hollar. Today is DateableScotty's birthday as well. Happy birthday, Mr.J, may the bootleg gods smile down with favour on your every endeavor.
Mix Of The Week - SFreeman41 has some incredible mixes available, but the one we focus on this week is 'Funk To Electro House'.From Gutterpunks to the Bobbleheads, you'll hear all the best electro that you've been craving.

The Hidden Costs of the Military (from 1993; Center for Defence Information)
Along with direct military outlays of $291 billion for 1993, the military establishment imposes other burdens on the country that are largely overlooked:
...Paying for necessary care to veterans who fought the past wars.
...Vast amounts of land given over to military use.
...Extensive environmental damage.
...And, an economic toll that hurts American competitiveness and costs American jobs.

19. What do you want to say to the leader of your country?
Who is the leader of my country? Does he have a name? Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that Dick Cheney is our leader. To him I would say, kill all the pheasants you want, but please quit killing so many people.

Roger Moore: 'Boys Don't Cry' director changes course with Iraq War drama 'Stop-Loss' (The Orlando Sentinel; Posted on popmatters.com)
There wasn't much on director Kimberly Peirce's resume to suggest she would be the ideal filmmaker to take a shot at making an Iraq War drama. But something about 9-11 moved the director of "Boys Don't Cry" (1999) to postpone her years-long struggle to make a film about an infamous Hollywood murder and take on the war and its impact on the home front, on her "people" - among them, her younger brother.
David Bruce: Wise Up! Good Deeds (athensnews.com)
Can a hit-man do a good deed? Yes. When Angelina Jolie was a young actress enrolled in film school in New York, she became depressed and decided to hire a hit man to murder her, believing that if she committed suicide directly, it would be hard on her family and friends. However, when she contacted the hit-man, he advised her to wait a month and then call him if she still wanted his services. One month later, Ms. Jolie was no longer depressed and she did not call the hit-man.

love this trivia.
Sally said:
Lenny Bruce (B) was born Leonard Alfred Schneider in Mineola, Long Island, NY - not a stones-throw from the area where I grew up, although several years later. I can recall Lenny's appearing on the Arthur Godfrey television show (in the late 1950s) and thinking that I would like to go and see him perform (he did a nightclub act in various clubs on the Island, and down in Greenwich village at that time). After all, he was a, "local boy."
A short time thereafter, however, all Hell broke loose and (it seemed to me) that every time you opened a newspaper he was either being arrested, or there was a savory story about him, usually on page one!
I never did get to see Lenny in person, and for this I am profoundly sorry. After all, I had several opportunities to do so, but I was too young (or immature) at that time. And, in keeping with that era, I might mention that young ladies never went out of their way to hear four-lettered-words being casually tossed to an audience. Then, suddenly, he died. He was only 40 years old.
Alas, how was I to know, that this brash young Jewish comedienne, who had become more well-known for being obscene and iconoclastic than funny, would ultimately be recognized as "radically relevant" and would forever change the face of American comedy?
Oh, by the way, if you are a devotee of Eddie Murphy, Wanda Sikes, or Chris Rock - Lenny's comedy would appear mild to you today. Oh, the irony of it all.
PS I enjoyed yesterday's discourses from DanD and Charlie about the various intellectual personalities. I just realized, that save, George Carlin, the other candidates (from yesterday's quiz) are dead! Has anyone else noticed that the great ones seem to be dying away? Please tell me it isn't so - that soon, all we shall have left are quotes from GWB passing for, "Words to ponder, dejour?"

The National Football League and NBC will likely move up the time of the league's September season opener so it won't conflict with presidential nominee John McCain's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.
Since 2002, the NFL has held its season opener on the first Thursday night after Labor Day. This year, the game runs smack into the final night of the convention, when McCain will officially accept the nomination and give a nationally televised speech from Minneapolis.
While the NFL has yet to announce its schedule for the 2008 season, it's apparently not going to shy away from having its season opener on the scheduled day, with the game likely featuring the Super Bowl champion New York Giants.
So, the NFL and NBC have agreed in principle to have the kickoff at 7 p.m. ET instead of the traditional 8:30 p.m. That would mean, except in the event of an overtime, that the game would end before NBC's expected one hour of convention coverage for the night.

VH1 holds The Who in such high regard that the rock group is the only act being honored at its upcoming Rock Honors.
Now in its third year, the Rock Honors typically celebrate a handful of momentous rock groups and artists: previous honorees have included ZZ Top, Genesis, Kiss and Queen.
But this year, only the Who will be celebrated during the two-hour broadcast, to be taped July 12 in Los Angeles and aired on the network July 17. The group, which now consists surviving members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, is due to perform along with other acts who will pay tribute to the legendary band.
Former Czech president Vaclav Havel's new play, his first after a gap of nearly two decades, will premier on May 22 at Archa theatre in Prague, local media reported Tuesday.
"It's quite rare for a theatre to present a play by a former president. It caused some intrigue, which has now blown over," Havel said of the piece, called "Odchazeni", or "On Departure".
Several other Prague theatres had been named as possible locations for the play, but negotiations failed for various reasons. Talks with the National Theatre collapsed in part over Havel's insistence that his wife get the main female role.
Czech-American actor Jan Triska, who has long been a friend of Havel's, will play the main character, while the ex-president's wife, actress Dagmar Havlova-Veskrnova, has the lead female role.
A Japanese temple revealed Tuesday that it bought a sculpture of the Buddha for a record 14.3 million dollars at a New York auction, saying it did not want the icon to fall into foreign hands.
Shinnyo-en, a Buddhist temple in suburban Tokyo, said it bought the 800-year-old depiction of the Dainichi Nyorai, or the Supreme Buddha, with donation money from believers.
The auction last week at Christie's in New York set a new record for a piece of Japanese art and far exceeded the sculpture's pre-sale estimates of 1.5 million to 2.5 million dollars.
Leading department store Mitsukoshi bid on behalf of the temple, reportedly against a private American collector.

At a Zen Buddhist temple in southern Japan, even the dog prays. Mimicking his master, priest Joei Yoshikuni, a 1 1/2-year-old black-and-white Chihuahua named Conan joins in the daily prayers at Naha's Shuri Kannondo temple, sitting up on his hind legs and putting his front paws together before the altar.
"Word has spread, and we are getting a lot more tourists," Yoshikuni said Monday.
Yoshikuni said Conan generally goes through his prayer routine at the temple in the capital of Japan's southern Okinawa prefecture (state) without prompting before his morning and evening meals.
"I think he saw me doing it all the time and got the idea to do it, too," Yoshikuni said.
Squabbling between surviving members of the 1960s rock band The Doors is serious enough that a lawsuit over an insurance policy covering "advertising injury" should proceed, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday.
The band tried to carry on after its lead singer, Jim Morrison, died in 1971, but eventually split up. In recent years drummer John Densmore has waged a legal fight against guitarist Robby Krieger and keyboardist Ray Manzarek over their touring as "The Doors of the 21st Century." A judge eventually told them to stop using that name.
According to court papers, the Densmore lawsuit cost Manzarek and Doors Touring, Inc. more than $3 million in legal fees. Amid that fight, Manzarek filed an insurance claim.
Manzarek notified the insurance firm of Densmore's suit in 2003, but the firm declined to provide insurance coverage. The keyboardist, who lives north of San Francisco, sued for breach of contract and in 2006 a district court dismissed the case.
On Tuesday, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overruled that decision, saying the lower court should review Manzarek's complaint.
An undated handout photograph shows the painting "La Surprise" by French master Jean-Antoine Watteau. The painting, missing for 160 years, has been found in a private house in England and will go on sale in London by auction house Christie's on July 8, 2008, priced at three to five million pounds ($6,017,866 - $10,028,012) -- a record for the artist's work.
Steve McQueen's estate sued a clothing company on Tuesday, alleging the unauthorized use of the late film star's image and name as part of its "Steve McQueen Celebration" line of fashion and accessories.
The McQueen heirs accuse Clothing Company S.P.A. and parent company Belstaff USA and Belstaff International LTD of "willful and brazen unauthorized use of the name, image, signature and likeness" of the actor known as the King of Cool for his roles in films in the 1960s and 1970s.
The suit alleges a representative of Belstaff contacted the estate in 2007 requesting a license for use of McQueen's image on a clothing and accessories line which was denied after negotiations broke down.
Sean "Diddy" Combs has settled a lawsuit brought by a man who claims the rapper-entertainment mogul punched him after a post-Oscar party outside a Hollywood hotel.
The lawsuit by Gerard Rechnitzer claimed that Combs punched him, pushed his girlfriend and spat on another woman on Feb. 25, 2007, outside Teddy's Nightclub at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Rechnitzer sought unspecified damages.
In a court declaration, Combs, 38, said Rechnitzer lunged toward him and that "any contact ... was caused by his forward motion against my open hand."
"Girls Gone Wild" founder Joe Francis accused a federal judge Tuesday of targeting him for retribution, saying he is behind a new lawsuit that accuses Francis of filming underage girls in sexually provocative acts.
Francis said U.S. District Judge Richard Smoak and Smoak's former law partner, Ross McCloy, are targeting him because his company met with a consulting firm about taking steps to impeach Smoak and have him removed from office.
McCloy is representing the four women who sued Francis last week. They allege they were 17, 16, 15 and 13 when his company solicited them to participate in sexually provocative videos in 2003 and earlier. They want unspecified monetary damages.
Smoak presided over an earlier, similar lawsuit against Francis that McCloy also filed. Francis said the judge should have removed himself because of his relationship with McCloy. The lawsuit was later settled after Smoak jailed Francis for making threats during a deposition.
A chunk of Antarctic ice about seven times the size of Manhattan suddenly collapsed, putting an even greater portion of glacial ice at risk, scientists said Tuesday.
Satellite images show the runaway disintegration of a 160-square-mile chunk in western Antarctica, which started Feb. 28. It was the edge of the Wilkins ice shelf and has been there for hundreds, maybe 1,500 years.
While icebergs naturally break away from the mainland, collapses like this are unusual but are happening more frequently in recent decades, British Antarctic Survey scientist David Vaughan said. The collapse is similar to what happens to hardened glass when it is smashed with a hammer, he said.
The rest of the Wilkins ice shelf, which is about the size of Connecticut, is holding on by a narrow beam of thin ice. Scientists worry that it too may collapse. Larger, more dramatic ice collapses occurred in 2002 and 1995.

Pagans and druids, mark your calendars and book your airplane tickets. An Australian entrepreneur hopes to open a Stonehenge replica by the Dec. 21 solstice, just in time for New Age revelers.
"I'm doing it because I can," said Ross Smith, the former owner of a successful microbrewery business who plans to build the monument on his property in Western Australia.
The $1.26 million project, to be called The Henge, will include 101 granite stones arranged in an inner and outer circle, a central altar, and will span 110 feet.
Unlike the original Stonehenge, guests will be encouraged to touch and play around the new monument, which will also have an interpretive center and a children's playground.
