…I don’t understand a lot of people…

Here are some of the comments from the youtube video for ‘Supernaut’ by Black Sabbath
(Sábado Negro).
One would think I would have a lot in common with people who like the same semi-obscure song from this band, but somehow internet comment pages always seem to end up with people doing this:

I feel like the only one I kind of relate to is ‘chutoi26’. Then, they go and bash the Ramones out of nowhere (plus, the whole ‘calling yourself “chew toy” thing’ creeps me out a little).

Next is where it degrades to a hate-fest…
First of all, how does not liking this song mean you’re a man who likes having sex with other men? I’m not seeing the connection there…anybody?
(and why, of course, do people resort to gay and racial slurs so fast online–especially about things like the degree to which you like a certain song?)
Secondly, how can someone be gay AND a motherfucker?
I think I have a grasp on what those words mean…
…and it seems like the logic is falling apart on that one.

Anyway, the song is still muy bad-ass. Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Ozzy Osbourne, Bill Ward…
Here you go (check out the rare percussion break!):

P.S. The new show is coming soon, I promise.

Here are a couple of guys who’ve been given some dubious media coverage over the years. Maybe it’s because someone was trying to get us to not take them seriously. Why would that be? Could they actually have something significant to say?…Judge for yourself.

(Just in case you don’t remember, Jesse Ventura was the Governor of Minnesota)

P.S. Show 4 is coming very soon…You have my word.

Ok, so you can:

A: listen to these shows ‘STREAM’ on this site by just pressing the play button in each show’s post…

B: SUBSCRIBE via e-mail (weirdly, by using the button at the top of the page that says,

“E-mail Subscription”)–You’ll get an e-mail when something new is posted…

C: Bookmark this page–it will show up in your ‘Bookmarks’ and you can come back and

check it out whenever you happen to remember to (at least in Safari it will)…

(but without any e-mails–if you’re scared of that)…

Also, I just figured out a way to…(drum roll, please)…

D: DOWNLOAD these little shows I’m making here…

Here’s how:

1) You can go to the iTunes Store and search under “Podcasts” for “portlandians” (you can listen and/or subscribe there).

Or…

2a) Click on the ‘RSS Feed’ (click on the highlighted words “RSS Feed” or the “RSS” with

the cute little symbol–they’re both at the top of the homepage [portlandians.com])

2b) When it takes you to that page, look in the grey sidebar on the right and

find the section named “Actions”…

2c) Click on “Subscribe in iTunes” (and watch a computer make more magic than David Blaine)…

…boof.

(no e-mails for these two ways, either–and you can take it with you and PUT IT ON YOUR iPOD or some shit)

Rasta Luego,

sam.

March 27, 2011

Guests:

DP and ‘The Anonylosopher’

We talk about:

loneliness, drugs, artist philosophy, smoker’s lung, rituals, bloody knuckles, successful friends

…A big “Thank you” goes out to DP for the first donation to the show!!! A microphone!!!

…as for the first show being about ‘Portlandia’…It’s not…I had some technical difficulties the night people came over to record, and now it seems like I might have missed my window of talking to people who are interested in the show anymore…maybe I’ll use it and maybe I’ll record some new stuff…we’ll just have to see, won’t we?—–why is it so hard to get people to commit to talking?

…By the way, sorry about the sound quality on some of this. I’m learning by doing (step by step, just like my life coach Bobby Brown taught me)…

[editor’s note: I typed the title of this show wrong & it said, “I coming…It’s promise”.
I desperately want that to be the punchline of someone’s ‘trip to Europe gone wrong’ story.]

samson: Sorry, peeps–I’ve been stupidbusy with videos and with finals coming up…but I did manage to record part of the first episode!…so that’s cool, right!?

Listeners: Ya…not so much there, buddy–Where’s our media-based content?!

(…sorry about the “listeners” thing–I don’t what to call you guys yet, but that felt weird…i gotta come up with something else…maybe PORTLANDIANS!?…that kinda feels weird, too-but in a gross way……i don’t know…)

Anyway, the first episode is going to be based somehow around* ~~the ‘Portlandia’ show (yes folks,~~ Portlandians talking ‘~~Portlandia~~‘)[editor’s note: This show never happened…& probably never will.]

samson: *As for the above-mentioned “based somehow around”,…

Turbo-Rads: Yeah, Sam!–What about that “based somehow around” thing, !@!%#@?

(‘Turbo-Rads’ is way better than ‘Listeners’…or ‘Listeneers’, even)

(and watch your mouth, by the way. I’ll have none of this >”!@!%#@”< on my site–That’s b***shit!!!)

Anyway, all I mean is:

We’ll probably just ‘start’ talking about whatever any show’s theme is…after that, it’s a free jam (or for you hipsters, an ironic guitar solo…you know–from some band that you really, and non-ironically, LIKE–only you can’t admit it, so you act like you like them as a joke)…

(…I’m looking at you, Def-Leppard-shirt.)

Hey, you should check out my links, too! (that, plus whatever you usually do)…There’s a dance performance my friends are putting on during this month’s 20th day (or that evening, to be precise–if for some reason you thought it’s going to be a ‘dance/all you can eat pancake breakfast’, sorry for the confusion).

samson: …talk to you soon, ‘Turbo-Rads™’……be real~~istic~~.

featuring Nate Lumbard on sax, and the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I listened to ~400 hours of the reverend’s speeches from the 60s…and noticed that whenever he was talking about Vietnam, it sounded like he was here and alive and talking about Iraq/Afghanistan…I think this is what it would have sounded like, anyway…

I’ve entered this in an art exhibit on the seven deadly sins-under ‘wrath’…it’s showing through most of the month of March…

Wrath (Latin, ira), also known as anger or “rage”, may be described as inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. Anger, in its purest form, presents with self-destructiveness, violence, and hate that may provoke feuds that can go on for centuries. Anger may persist long after the person who did another a grievous wrong is dead. Feelings of anger can manifest in different ways, including impatience, revenge, and vigilantism.
