Well, I have a couple weeks yet.

October's here, so it would seem
I'm faced with such troubled themes
Now, I have to pick between
Politics and Halloween

1. DJ Moule - Black Sabotage (Beastie Boys vs. Led Zeppelin) (2:32)

Hey, it's October 3rd and rent is now late. There will be a $10 per day fine; we do not accept checks.
And how was that debate? An older gentleman from the eastern seaboard, a young and inexperienced woman from the far north-west. It's "Yank/Double-Yank", that porn I always wanted to make...

3. Oglio Records - Stiffed (3:47)
4. Hedwig and The Angry Inch - Sugar Daddy (3:57)
5. Philip Glass - Osamu's Theme: KYOKO'S HOUSE (2:59)
6. Louis Rukeyser - Black Monday 1987 (3:11) "I've never danced to Wall $treet Week before." I put this one in for some context.
7. Hairy Larry - Ode to Joy (1:37)
8. Devo - Freedom Of Choice (3:28)
9. Get Your War On - Moose Meat (2:31)
10. Ruff Muff - La La Her Madly (The Doors vs. Goldfrapp) (2:35)
11. Fantastic Plastic Machine - I Love FPM (Konishi Yasuharu Mix) (6:43)
12. Divide & Kreate - Until it talks (4:34)
13. Information Society - A Knife & A Fork (Downtown Mix) (7:04)
14. Wally Pleasant - That's Evolution! (3:18)

And I've already told you guys about the voters' registration drive we had.

16. Meat Beat Manifesto - All The Things You Are (4:42)
17. George Harrison - When We Was Fab (4:05)
18. Combustible Edison - 20th Century (3:17)

(sung to the tune "The Cherry Tree Carrol")
When Joseph was an old, old man
And an old, old man was he
He fought with Sarah, snide and snarky Sarah
Down in Missouri

The fight last for an hour and half
Filled with falsehood and lies
And near the end, as they cleared the bend
Old man Joseph near cried

Gwen Iffil asked them the questions there
Questions from West and East
And now ye people, American people,
Must choose between dork and hose-beast


20. The Dust Brothers - This Is Your Life (Featuring Tyler Durden) (3:31)
21. Doctor Steel - Lullabye-bye (2:36)
22. The Real Tuesday Weld - The Girl with the Pre-Fabricated Heart (8:06)
23. Yoko Kanno - Someday Our Prince Will Come (2:45)
24. George Harrison - Zig Zag (2:53)
25. Get Your War On - Sarah Palin and the Rape Kits (1:51)

Ok, I need to take a quick moment here to let you know how this one went over, and how it drew attention to something that's been worrying me for some time. One person disagreed with the spot and said it was dumb, not funny, so forth and everyone kind jumped on him for that. But, his point was "Don't get in a pissing contest with a skunk, 'cause he'll outpiss ya." And he's right, it's very easy to be distracted by silly little things, but I played it because it looks at the judgment of the people involved. My worry has been that we all surround ourselves with people we agree with, and who agree with us, so it's very hard to look at things from an outside point of view and that's a very weak position to be in.

By the end of the discussion, I think everyone pretty much chilled out.

26. C17H19NO3 - Razor Raped Pain (5:59)
27. Black Grape - Harry the Dog (4:08)
28. Go Home Productions - Passenger Fever (Peggy Lee vs. Iggy Pop) (3:01)
29. Jon Stewart - September 30th, 2008 (1:45)
30. The Manchurian Candidate (1:20)
31. Arty Fufkin - Crazy Logic (Gnarls Barkley vs. Supertramp vs. Rockwell) (4:27)
32. Michael Kamen - Bachianos Brazil Samba (2:51)
33. Amon Tobin/Kid Koala - [Untitled] (5:39)
34. Lo-Fidelity Allstars - Lazer Sheep Dip Funk (7:20)

The only thing I took away from the debate was Sarah Palin doing an impersonation of the mom from "Bobby's World" ushering in an atomic apocalypse. "I've got my finger on the gee-darn button, dontchcknow."
