The JMS 130: I’m Stuck in GH3

Guitar Hero has taken over all my free time.

Music Played:
* Rock of Ages by Def Leppard
* Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin

The JMS 129: Oops a New Addiction!

Against some great worthwhile advice I purchased an Xbox 360 last night. Availability, controller battery life, xbox live, and many other features edged it out over the Wii, as much as I believe the Wii is worth owning, I decided on a 360.

Gin and Television… I knew they were the same!

In this article by Clay Shirky we get a historical insight on the Industrial Revolution, and what Shirky calls a Social Surplus, and how Major Media has capitalized on it for so long, that they don’t even realize how truly drug-like and dangerous they may have been all these years.

This is a great story, so I’m not going to re-hash it. I’d rather you take the time to give it a read.

The JMS 128: Rockin’ with Rachel

Tonight, I am pleased to have the opportunity to interview Comedic Actor Rachel Van Der Steur, who is, incidentally, the longest standing participator in the show ie. the voice of the “hooray, joshmormann.com,” outro, as our special Guest.

Rachel is a cast member of “I am the Rhoda”

The JMS 127: On the Porch

Recorded with my new Zoom H4, I need to adjust the mic levels obviously, but it was fun to record somewhere other than my desk.

The JMS 126: A Friday of Empty Threats

I say that I’m going to do Improv Boston, but turns out that it wasn’t running the expected 10:00pm show.

I basically just go on about how my job is so oddly set up. I shouldn’t get too comfortable, come to think of it now, that I write this.

The JMS 123: Go!

Good news towards the end of this crazy (much interrupted) episode, is that CNA scores a hash tag (#cna). And I babble. Not quite the show I had expected to record tonight… More on that tomorrow.

The JMS 122: Brigid Tried Her Best to Save the Show

I got too pissed [at good people] mid show, to be a reasonable host. Brigid kept me in line, and balanced me wearing a white hat. Mine was darkened with dripping blood (as I think I put it at one point).

I started in good spirits, but I eventually slid to the point of inappropriate simmering piss-tivity, and I said things I really don’t mean, and I hope you’ll all forgive me. If it wasn’t for Brigid, I may have been way too out of sorts.

Basically I became a self-centered egotistical prick (which often happens with me) and I got upset over a CNA experiment, that didn’t go so well. Please don’t be offended by anything I say in this part towards the end. I’m upset by lack of results in general, and I am acting super angry for fun, but because I am truly disappointed, I think my fake “piss-tivity” comes through as genuine, and for that I’m deeply sorry. I love all my listeners, and members of the CNA, I can just go overboard at being an asshole from time to time.
