In this special Halloween episode of the podcast, we're joined by Quinton's friend Sean, who helped make this one of the best episodes ever. Topics of discussion include crotch vests, why George Washington and Thomas Edison are shitty party guests, and our newest most favorite person in the world..........Japanese Spiderman. WOW!!!
If you hadn't noticed, Steel Reserve has been winning the alcohol poll by a landslide, and even though there's technically still 3 days left until the poll is closed, we decided to go ahead and pre-emptively celebrate............by all gettin' drunk on Steel Reserve. Really drunk. Like, Quinton layin' on the floor sayin' "I just need to rest for a minute" drunk. I mean, we're always drunk during these podcasts, but I still seriously considered naming this the "drunk episode" just to emphasize the special level of drunkeness that took place. Oh, it was a scene, man.
Enjoy!

The most important ballot you'll ever cast..........
Polling booth on the right of the page ----------------->
Very important debate for these difficult times in America, which beverage makes you look the most like an alcoholic in public? This has very little to do with any problems the 3 members of the Speaker Madness podcast may or may not have, I assure you. Weigh the options carefully, do a taste test if you must.
Peace (*glug*)

Episode 5- The Panda Pussy Pow-wow
On today's episode of Speaker Madness, our good friend Tanner from Port Arthur stopped through and talked with us about a wide range of subjects, from panda vagina to turtle blowjobs, and many other topics that I'm 99% sure are admissible in a court of law. But it's all good because a) he got us drunk with a bottle of strawberry-kiwi MD 20/20, and b) he contributed some good songs to the podcast. It's a good one.
Bonus!!- Quinton (very literally) gets pissed off at the poll results and has a nervous breakdown.
They play so lovely won't you agree?

Episode 4- Balls Deep
Better late than never. Here's last week's episode, only, you know..............this week. Episode 4. Anyway, you know the drill. Good music. Dumb talk. We actually had somewhat of an audience in the studio for this one, so uhhh.........if you hear us ask them questions periodically, we're not THAT drunk. We were drunk, don't get me wrong, but not imaginary-audience-drunk. This episode brought to you by Steel Reserve, waterhose water, and cheatin' ass polls.

Shoot up or shut up...........
........is a line from a Dead Milkmen song called "Junkie". Cuz that's what we're gonna talk about for a minute.
So everyone is a youtube junkie. Everyone. But you gotta understand there are categories, subgenres of addiction. Not everyone is shootin' heroin, ya feel me, some people go down the K-hole. It's the same with youtube, there's a lot of heavy hands in the alley. Some people are "drunk interview" junkies, always chasing the dragon of Iggy and James Brown. Some people get their fix with offensive bugs bunny cartoons from WWII. Others are "after school fight" junkies, and hey, I don't judge them. Sure, they're the $5 monkey-nut rock smokers of the analogy, but at least they're not the paint sniffers, a.k.a. "baby laugh" junkies.
Me? I'm a junkie for a lot of things on youtube. Japanese punk videos, cheesy trailers from 70's movies that will never have a DVD release date, Charlie Rose episodes, indecipherable Russian animation that just seems anti-american but who knows. I got a lot on my plate. Or heated spoon.
But one addiction sits apart from the rest, if only because it's kind of a holy grail and requires a lot more hard work to find than the others. You can't just type this one into the search tab. I'm talkin' about low quality youtube videos of live performances, so unintentionally full of white noise and muffled bass that it actually makes the song and performance kinda hypnotic. Case in point......this 1984 Tipper Irie performance on some TV show. That bass tone rumble is not in the original track, trust me. There's a bonus here though. The clip also highlights what me and my brother Lowkey like to call the "one person on stage effect". It's a formula destined to make everyone in the room uncomfortable. You just can't look cool on stage by yourself, no matter what genre of music you make, save maybe singer/songwriter or some other stool-and-water setup that allows you to use your massive ego as a hypeman.
This video brings up another interesting idea too, though. Maybe..........and this a big ass maybe...........the distortion on the low sound quality on Jamaican/British TV during these live reggae performances influenced the whole scene to start producing genuinely bassed-the-fuck-out tracks like the Sleng Teng riddim, probably best used by Tenor Saw with "Pumpkin Belly". I know this totally irrelevant 80's dancehall muscle flex will impress exactly one person, hopefully a sexy thick ethiopian rasta queen with dreadlocks thicker than my calf that smell like super silver haze weed and can make you see the future of babylon's fall if you hold 'em just right.
Anyway.............
I'm also a junkie for horrible youtube covers by white kids with guitars. This one is not horrible. But still very white. It takes a special kinda mayonaisse-and-cheddar talent to make James Mercer and The Shins even whiter than they already are, but I think a combination of ingrown blonde roots and 15 centuries of anglo-protestant history somehow bred a chick who can sing "Young Pilgrims" with a country twinge and make it worth hearing twice.
How about........something great just for the fuck of it? Ok. You got it, friends (sorry, watched too many McCain speeches these last months).
Bobbie Smith- Walk On Into My Heart (click)
And last but not least..............a rare and rarely heard 1980 audio interview from the man who influenced every rock critic in the last 30 years who ever wrote a review even Tom Robbins couldn't understand, much less the band who made the goddamn album..............yeah, it's Lester Bangs. Think Philip Seymour Hoffman in Almost Famous. That guy. This is his real voice. Here he talks about the evils of the music industry, why the Rolling Stones should retire (remember, this is 1980) and the newfound "hipness" of New Wave/Punk.

Episode 3 - Mushrooms, Steroids, and Dumpster Babies
It's Episode Three and we're still on the air! Not that anyone would take us off, but every other real radio show I listen to has some evil/stiff boss and the FCC on their back, so I figured we need that too. Especially for this episode, since we did somethin' revolutionary...........we got drunk BEFORE the show, instead of during it like usual. It was a big risk, I know, but we're all about pushing envelopes here at whatever this show is called.
Besides the liquor, (or because of it) listen as Quintoshi, Reggie, and Sandman discuss such high-brow topics as Boo-Berry cereal and how to place a fake personals ad. Musically this is the best show yet, I think. Brand spankin' new stuff from TV on the Radio and D'angelo. Check it out.........
