  • Tonight's Beverage: Same stuff we've been drinking for weeks, but aren't going to mention until that sponsorship comes in. Chop chop, Smiroff! Wait, dammit!
  • Whoops! Wrong episode number giving at the start. D'oh!
  • Dirk's high school days.
  • The vast improvement Cop Out was on Blu-ray over the movie. DirkFlix review of the movie and Blu-ray.

  • Music by Red September - "Killjoy" (Radio Edit version without the swear word.)
  • A 50-minute interview with local author Pete Wurdock about the Kickstarter for his book 2 Guitars, Bass & Drums - The History of the Dondero Pop Concert documenting the history of the Royal Oak Dondero High School Pop Concert which he and Dirk both played for in the early-'80s. We discuss his post-high school career and share tales of our musical (mis)adventures while being heckled by our choir director via FaceSpace comments.
  • A partial archive of Pop Concert recordings. In the 1983 Concert - the only one of the three Dirk performed in that's available - he played on rhythm guitar on "Foolin'" for sure and probably the lead on "Hard To Say I'm Sorry." Can't recall 100% if he's lead on "Last Chance."
  • The video featuring Pete and other Dondero alumni that narrowly lost on MTV's Basement Tapes:
  • Dirk hypes up Watershed again.The book: Hitless Wonder. The latest album: Brick & Mortar.
  • Sorry about the so-so audio quality, but the video is so brilliant we wanted that more:

  • Microsoft Office 365 is now free on Android. Go get some more!
  • Amazon is rumored to be starting a new streaming service or making a set-top box, triggering another Dirk rant about their blackballing of Android.
  • Rumors about rebooting Indiana Jones with Bradley Cooper and possible methods to make it work.
  • Anti-videogame and anti-gun California State Senator Leland Yee is charged with some serious gunrunning.
  • The Internet brouhaha over Occulus Rift being bought by Facebook. Voices against: NY Times; Bloomberg; Boing Boing; Notch. Voices for: Extreme Tech; Jim Sterling.
  • A little more Pop Concert talk.
  • The soundalike hits by P!nk and The Veronicas:

  • For Otto:
  • Quick Hits: Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin split - aka "conscious uncoupling"(try and be strong); the brilliant way Titanfall is dealing with cheaters; Andrew W.K. was a teen model(?!) and the proof is here; Adam West trolls his local phone book (West is 85 years old); unsafe speeds caused Paul Walker's deadly crash; Karmin has a new album (try and be strong); the new Pretty Reckless album;and the next two videos:

  • Social Fixer no longer tells you when people unfriend you on FaceSpace.
