Star Wars VS Star Trek Podcast May 4th, 2009

Howdy folks,

A long time ago (monday) in a studio far far away an epic battle raged. The timeless struggle between phasers and blasters, Klingons and Wookies, Ewoks and Tribbles continues over the airwaves in this weeks show. With the upcoming release of the new Star Trek film this weekend, and the fact that this show landed on Star Wars Day, it was only logical to have an audio battle of epic galactic proportions.

From forgotten new-wave sounding cuts from 80's star trek films to deleted memories of Lapti Nek and Yub Nub, we covered the bases of the two universes of geekdom. I'd post the play list, but it'd be futile humans. It's all music from Star Wars and Star Trek films...to find out which ones, in true J.J. Abrams fashion, you'll just have to listen. Our pal the Gaffer returns this week, in what we hope becomes a regular appearance on the show.

The Drive-in Speakerbox Christmas Special

Ho Ho Howdy folks!

Christmas completely snuck up on me again and knifed me in the back with its frosty katana of holiday cheer. Malls are flooded with last minute shoppers who will produce frowns from relatives young and old when that crappy last minute gift has to be returned as soon as they leave. Times filled with holiday treats that you choke down just because "they worked so hard on it" and sitting around the tree exchanging gift cards to various stores that may or may not go out of business in a few months, when you could have just not traded gift cards at all and spent your own money on yourself...but it's the spirit of giving that counts right? There's just something about the bitter cold, deadly driving conditions, blood thirsty bargain shoppers, selfish whiny brats, and increase in cholesterol that brings out the good in all of us!

So here's my gift to you! Another Christmas special of the most selfish kind. That's right, it's all my favorite holiday movies that get me in the holiday spirit. Don't question my choices! It's Christmas music and you'll damn well like it. There's no receipt for returns or exchanges on this one!
