I listened to the new Coldplay album, that's how...
How could you not love Kid Rock?
Also, some of you may be curious about what the music was at the beginning and end of the show... Well it's our good friend and Vigier endorsee Fredrik Pihl. The songs are "Color of Change" and "Fret Circus". Check out his website and his MySpace. He's a great guy and a monster player so show him some love.
Next week's podcast will have the Little Prince himself, Presidential Candidate Roy Joseph Verspoor II making his triumphant return to the site.
Email DJ@SmartassRadio.com with any suggestions or if you want to have your or your band's music played next week or in the future.
if you really wanna see how awful it is, double click then click 'view in high quality'
ugh.
here's the entirety of "What Not To Listen To: Celine Dion"
What you most definitely should not be listening to in any way shape or form is dumb Celine Dion. This anorexic bitch is a waste of 40lbs of human flesh. Her latest album is called “Taking Chances”. This would be like Stevie Wonder calling his next album “Seeing Things”. The biggest chance this dolt has ever taken was wearing a white pantsuit after Labor Day in September of ’96 just after the release of her single “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now”.
I tried to do a little research for this stupid bit, but I found that I couldn’t even get through a full paragraph anywhere on her Wikipedia page. Honestly, could you get through a page of shit like this?
In reference to her album “Let’s Talk About Love”:
As the name suggests, the album had the same theme as Dion's preceding albums—"love". However, emphasis was also placed on "brotherly love" with "Where Is the Love" and "Let's Talk About Love".
So instead of ranting in a rational and informed manner like on my previous “what not to listen to” which you may recall from October of ’07 I will instead just talk out of my ass for the next few minutes.
Can you believe that it’s been 10 years since VH1’s “Divas Live”? Yeah, me either. Can you also believe that I remember such an idiotic thing? Well either way, I remember Celine Dion trotting out in khaki pants and the worst “I’m a mom who rocks” look on her face while the band started playing AC/DC’s immortal “You Shook Me All Night Long”. She then sang it like the cunty French Canadian she is.
What happened to Anastacia? She was pretty meaty. Back to Celine… God what a fucking phony. That air guitar is inexcusable. That Divas Live was one of the most awful things I think VH1 ever did. Everyone was so fucked into obsessing about “DIVA’S”. Then who do they pick? Of course Aretha “My Shoulders Aren’t Much Different Than A Moose’s” Franklin, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and Gloria Estefan and Shania Twain.
I fail to see how the last two fit, but let’s pause and think about how often Aretha Franklin is paraded around like some great artist. It seems like every year she has some star studded performance at the Grammy Awards and ever year she sings even more poorly and gets even fucking fatter. It’s inconceivable.
Mariah Carey I actually kind of like. I don’t care what people say I think she’s hot and she has some set of ti-I mean pipes on her.
Now, Gloria Estefan, formerly of the Miami Sound Machine and until I just checked her Wikipedia I was convince was dead is not in the same category as these other clowns… or is she? Let me check the Wikipedia… nope. She actually struggled at some point in her life and is now worth $500 million.
Shania Twain used to be married to Def Leppard producer Mutt Lange, but isn’t so who cares?
And that is why you shouldn’t ever listen to Celine Dion.
Holy shit I'm an idiot. My internet use was suspended for a day - a fate I hope none of you know.

You know, the worst part is probably that I really don’t feel any shame (about the Kid Rock thing). I really kinda like his music. C’mon Bawitaba rules, especially if you haven’t heard it in about a decade:
OK, maybe that wasn't worth losing my internet connection for a day...
This also reminds me of another, cheerier, less internet-terminating email I received from the RIAA in November:
Dear registered user of the site What.cd,
We have recently been investigating the activities of the users of the site http://www.what.cd/ and we have found that this site exists for the sole purpose of music piracy.
Pirating music is a criminal offence and we believe it should be obvious to you that the results outweigh the benefits - hard working artists won't be rewarded for their work and will stop producing music, ultimately leading to a severely reduced selection of music both in the shops and for download.
The RIAA had hoped that the disabling by the police of the large illegal music site, Oink.cd, would stop a lot of people from engaging in piracy, as they don't want to be seen as criminals. However, this appears to not be the case, as two large new sites have sprung up in its place.
This email is the final warning to all of you who were members of Oink.cd and are current members of What.cd. If we find you to be committing any more criminal acts of piracy then we will have to press charges against you, as representatives of the major record companies of America.
Yours Faithfully,
The RIAA
No joke, I think I'm finally done ripping people off. I hardly even listen to all the bullshit I download. Back to blowing all my money on CDs...
