Show Notes

• the excerpt at the beginning of Foundations to Burn is from a speech to US Congress by Barbara Lee (D-CA) cautioning (in vain, it would turn out) against a repeat of the Tonkin Gulf Resolution
• played older Dimmu Borgir in an attempt to induce Icequeen’s labour (she’s due in six days! hang in there, mommy!)
• also, kalleboo pointed out the FUN FACT that “dimmu” is the Japanese word for “dimm” kekeke ^____^
• What Drives the Weak is from the upcoming Shadows Fall album due out later this month
• Randy’s spoken section at the beginning of Omerta is from the Italian concept of the same name, an unwritten code of silence among those involved in organized crime
• and if you’re an SA forums member, you can get all sorts of metal goodness from Elendil’s FTP server, Satanic Metal Death Kill
• closed the show with Fear Factory’s cover of Nirvana’s School

Well, rats. As soon as I think I have the technical aspects of the show nailed, I screw something new up. I still haven’t figured out what happened with the mic during this show. I would testify that I set all the settings the way I usually do. *shrugs* I’ll have to do some testing, but I promise to fix it.

So much for the special NEVAR FORGET edition of Dead Air. I played one appropriate song and tried to discuss Barbara Lee’s eerily prophetic warning to Congress, but nobody could hear me. I put a link to the full text up there anyway. The mic problems destroyed my FUN FACT about “Omerta” as well. On top of that, I couldn’t manage to get Icequeen into labour. Still, I had fun. So I’m not calling this show a failure.
