MANIPULATION 19: no job torture chamber

Zane Grant — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 06:29:12 GMT

With mass layoffs and heightened unemployment, why not make a podcast in two parts, right? If you're looking to hear my exotic accent, sorry, you'll have to call me. By the way, someone new mistook me the other day for a northern Englander, which is kindof the same as being a Texan from what I understand. Instead of my voice, I edited in people from youtube and some documentaries talking about their feelings on being unemployed/employed. Wink. Part I. happy unemployed The Proletariat - options Crass- do they owe us a living? Woody Guthrie - do re mi Ella Fitzgerald - nice work, if you can find it (Gershwin) The Growling Tiger - money is king Cocksparrer - working Elvis - in the ghetto Part II. unhappy employed Butthole Surfers - I hate my job Dillinger Four - superpowers enable me to blend in with machinery Folkways Work Songs (unknown) - quittin time song 1 Left for Dead - a nice place to raise children Big Bill Broonzy - W.P.A. rag Smiths - heaven knows i'm miserable now Part III. bums on wallstreet, or adding insult to injury - i'm a bum

Manipulation 18: I Married Prince Namor

Zane Grant — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 02:26:37 GMT

Lest there be any confusion, this is a nautical themed show, not in any way associated with Nautica, the smelly cologne I wore instead of showering after soccer in middle school. Why nautical themed? I liked the squid song and found the folkways maritime music album and thought, why not? I saw someone get in a fight in a bar on Thanksgiving. If he wasn't a sailer, he should have been. I am thankful for his inspiration. Songs Nautical(a) Wax Museum Ensemble - squid Mouse Rocket - underwater piano Woody Guthrie - talking sailor Folkways - liverpool judies (instrumental) Hail Seizures - the well Blackbird Raum - ars goetia and fortuna, I am a spear fisherman Lena and Urra - Sea Shanties from Sicily Folkways Maritime - sloop john b Paul Robeson - by the waters of babylon

Manipulation 17: skulls and one-man bands

Zane Grant — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 18:39:47 GMT

We're out of room on podomatic. The sad thing is I have server space, but could never figure out how to write the xml to syndicate the podcast. Well, we'll do shows sporadically, maybe delete the old ones to make room for the new. I think it had a good run, but I need a hobby that's not in front of the computer. Maybe a real radio show again? This week Zane did some sets with the theme of violence and body parts. Starts out with skulls, moves to skeletons, cannibalism, and dismemberment. Sounds terrible! Yuck! Tim switched over and did something normal... all one man bands! Exclamations rule!!!! RULE!!!! SKULLS Redd Foxx - cannibals Groinoids - empty skull Misfits - skull 324 - swinging skull Duke Ellington - skeleton dance CANNIBALISM AND SUCH Grabass Charlestons - dismember me Negazione - cannibale Units - cannibals Crucifix - skinned alive ONE MAN BANDS!

Manipulation 14: Jesse James, my roommate

Zane Grant — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 19:04:23 GMT

This week, I tried to put together songs with the name Jesse in them in tribute to my roommate. Love them or hate them, most people have strong feelings about Jesse's. He helped me not to have to sleep in the streets twice already in this lifetime, so I fall on the side of love him. Richard Prior - Jesse Young Wasteners - we've got ways Rick Springfield - Jessie's girl The Pogues - Jesse James Woody Guthrie - Jesse James Utah Phillips - Jesse's corrido Carly Simon - Jesse Leatherface - from the 'Jesse' album Saves the Day - Jesse and my whetstone (yeah i did it.) M83 - Kim and Jesse Merle Haggard - mama tried Elvis - suspicious minds Morrissey - last of our international playboys Blelvis - interview

Manipulation 12: 'Happy Birthday, Time'

Zane Grant — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 18:49:48 GMT

I finished up twenty-eight free trips around the sun this week. In memoriam, I put together some sets about getting older and youth, or bands with the word youth in their name. When I was 15, I was in a car wreck with some friends, where the car flipped three times and when we landed, the Pink Floyd song 'Time' came on the radio, and we couldn't turn it off. When I turn 30, I am pretty sure the universe will begin to collapse and everything will revert back to that point, so enjoy this year. Tim put together some good 'on the street, circusy, freakish crusty style' songs sure to lift you out of your life-long depression and anxiety disorders. Bright Eyes - bottom of everything (cheesy yes, but b-day) TIME Smiths - accept yourself (live) Minor Threat - salad days Dead Moon - runnin out of time (live) YOUTH Hated Youth - hardcore rules Youth of Today - disengage Reagan Youth - reagan youth Sandman- Cowboy's Life is a Very Dreary Life Blackbird RAUM- Witches Builders and the Butchers- Vampire Lake Dandelion Junk Queens- Bones Dead Man Street Orchestra- Aftermath! Inkwell Rhythm Shakers- Crazy Bout A Woman Pine Hill Haints- Livestock Abduction Pink Floyd - time
