The Music Video No One Asked For!
You didn’t ask for it, but here it is anyway! The music video from the Korg DS-10/Nintendo DSi video. You’re welcome, people of Earth.
Korg DS-10: The Ringu of Synthesizers?
The video above details my years long search for and eventual purchase of a possibly cursed Nintendo DSi system on which to play my Korg DS-10 application.
There’s also a bit about an amazing gift a friend brought me back from Japan.
“If You Don’t Mind Taboo Subjects and Bodily Fluids, Have We Got A Wonderful Show For You”
Once again, I was lucky enough to pay a visit to the VH US Podcast‘s Video Store. This time, the subject was Exploitation Movies! Needless to say, this episode isn’t safe for work…or just about any place else. It was an honor to hang out with Heather Drain, Scooter McRae, and – as always – Dirk Marshall.
Get your pencils out, because there are a LOT of movie suggestions in this episode.

It’s OK to Wear a RATYHTL Pin
Do you enjoy my radio show? Do you not enjoy my radio show? Were you completely unaware that I even have a radio show? If you answered “Whatever. My stepdad is a dick” to three or more of these questions, then Why-Not swing by Y-NOT (see what I did there?) and pick up a RATYHTL pin?
The pins only cost $5 and I don’t see a goddamn red cent of the money – it all goes to keep Y-NOT running.
