Art Bell Quits Dark Matter

[Mind Flayer Monk]

Rather than these femimen like Justin Timberlake and Kanye West you had real singers whose balls had dropped, who knew how to kill a deer with a crossbow and who could grow a full beard in less than 4 days --- guys like Chris Fuckin Cornell, Eddie Kick-Your-Ass Vedder and Dishwalla. Then we had Nu-Metal, techno and all that other bullshit which re-introduced fingernail painting, eye-liner wearing and chapstick bespeckling.

Lumberjacks, more lumberjacks.

It's good you have a hobby.

Oh honey. I've seen those people who DON'T have hobbies.  It's not a pretty sight.

True, that

[pepsiguy]

It is in the Illumanati's interest to feminize men and hold up the ideals of feminine men (femimen) as being the archetype of attraction. Why this is the case I have no fucking idea, but it is incredibly obvious that this is so. It began with the hippie movement of men having long, girly hair and wearing colorful clothes. Then we had John Travolta in the 1970s. Then in the 80s we had "hair metal", where thousands of heterosexual young men would cram into sweaty arenas to watch other heterosexual young men dress up like girls and play shitty, Western-bloc Capitalist anthems of depravity.

The grunge period was a brief and well-needed reassertion of masculinity. God damn I miss it. Rather than these femimen like Justin Timberlake and Kanye West you had real singers whose balls had dropped, who knew how to kill a deer with a crossbow and who could grow a full beard in less than 4 days --- guys like Chris Fuckin Cornell, Eddie Kick-Your-Ass Vedder and Dishwalla. Then we had Nu-Metal, techno and all that other bullshit which re-introduced fingernail painting, eye-liner wearing and chapstick bespeckling.

I quit paying attention after that, but judging from what passes for modern music these days, I sincerely hope China and Russian fucking eat, eat, eat the West. At least they still have good music there.

Like Sergei Lazarev - un fuckin credible:

Just my opinion about DMN...

Youve got to start some place...
And where you start is not where you will end up..
Its all a learning curve of sorts....
But youve got to start on that curve...
The first step is always the most difficult...
And the faster you ascend that curve, the better.

Art is something of a perfectionist...
So my guess is DMN will inevitably end up in a good place...

But Im thinking there should be an "audience" of 1500 people...
And they should vote on the shows...

1) What is the topic?  List of topics. UFO, disappeared persons, channeled masters, earth mysteries, ghosts etc.... chose topic
     Then give an interest opinion based on the "Bell" curve: 10  = Awesome      5 = so so     0 = Gonged

2) Moderator skill  10 = Art      5 = So so    0 = Snoorey / Gonged

So hopefully, this gives timely accurate audience response on programming, similar to an Amazon evaluation.

Given this structure, there should be a "wild" space of variation, to provide more fully for DMN improvement.

All shows should be archived on the DMN website and available for download.

A timer should be available to turn your computer / device off  at a set time.

Given numeric information, all sorts of metrics can be devised to ascend that curve faster.

And a better program can "crush" a mediocre program.

Dark Matter Network does merit time and effort, and my criticism of the dogstar girl not withstanding.  As I said, not everybody gets to do what they think they want or should do in life.  She wouldn't have been so bad if she hadn't laid claim dropping names of famous people and if she hadn't run her mouth about the "lamestreammedia".  She deluded, she thinks she's something she's not.  Noory is better, believe it or not in my opinion.

DM is currently more of an aggregation of a little talent and a lot of no talent.  I'd rather they picked two or three excellent shows and simply repeat them 24 hours after normal programming hours.  The two or three best shows should be of relatively similar quality to give DM a sense of talent continuity.

If anyone's curious to hear it, here's the new-er intro for Dark Weekend. My imaging guy has to adjust the levels a little bit, but here's the gist of it.

Do they have plans to put you on the air in NY?

To add, this is one of the best intros out there.  Super professional and engaging.

I think it depends on whether they feel they can make more $$ with me or by selling time to the Colon Blow people. There's a lot of paid programming on the weekends, unfortunately.

In time they'll move you up somewhere.

Thank yeewww both. Keith wanted to run the Dyatlov Pass show tonight so that's coming up at 10. There may be a double feature next week: Peter Davenport & Richard Hoagland.

I'm not sure the space/time continuum can handle the two of these at almost the same time. You might have to contain the show in a pocket universe lest you destroy us all.

19.5 baby

I'm jonesin' for another Dark Weekend episode. I've been listening to stupid Moon Loan Handing debates on youtube all fuuckin day. Are you going to be archiving everything on Soundcloud?

The intro is badass too, by the way.

I hope you were here for that battle between me, Falkie and littlechris on the topic of Noory. It got pretty viscous.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!  That gave me chills, the GOOD kind! L-R Speaker Play, awesome.  Your voice is so, soooooo seductive (ooh baby).   Love, love, LOVE your choice of "."Pink Floyd.

You can Podcast me anytime Bateman.

[ziznak]

grunge... manly? cmon they were pretty much just dirtier hippies.  Eddie Vedder has a lumberjackish thing going on but... cmone Chris Cornell was very girlie... and Cobain??? total teenage girl.  I do kinda miss it tho at least they all actually wrote the shit they got famous for.  Oh and the real talent thing.  Although the gruff "Creedesque" vocal style should def stay in the grave.

[pepsiguy]

Had your back dude. I'm sure you felt the support

You could be considered a tad esoteric,or at least misunderstood, but I get it.(usually)

Hahahaha, well thanks, but that's not my voice in there. It's this scene from the Matrix cut up a bit:

and the music is NIN & The Smiths.

Ok, Cobain may have been a girl.

But what about Scott Motherfuckin' Weiland? You wouldn't see his ass in nail-polish or eye-liner. I guaranfuckintee you that.

Ed Vedder was a lumberjack. That's ok. I don't have a problem with that.

But Chris Cornell --- ok, to be fair, he has gotten very girly. I have a theory though: with early-to-mid Soundgarden he was an alcoholic, primarily. Afterwards, he switched to prescription pills. When you go from chugging straight Jack Daniels' to snorting little pink prescription pills, you've at least lost one testicle --- if not two. But this doesn't detract from the fact that he had more manchismo than all of them at the beginning.

And the fact remains that all music nowadays is fucking trash. No one plays any instruments and when they do sing, they run it through a computer to make it sound like its getting fucked by harmonically astute flies. I hate it so god damn much. hate! HATE!

Except Mumford & Sons. . . .

I once worked at a call center and I was the only guy in my row, surrounded on all sides by cat ladies or women on the way to becoming cat ladies.

During a lull in the usual banter, on a slow day, I wondered outloud if cats were cannibals because both cats and mice were rodents.

"Cats aren't rodents!" They all replied in unison. "Sure they're rodents," I said, "They're fuzzy. They stink. They climb into the cupboard and leave little shit-missiles everywhere. If they're not rodents, what are they?"

None of them knew what they were, but they knew they weren't rodents.

The same thing happens here, sometimes --- and everywhere. You can literally say the stupidest shit which you'd think anyone would realize was a joke, but if you say it without adding a j/k or "NOT!", they'll take your insincere, irreverent post and reply to it with sincerity and earnestness.

That's part of the magic, though.
