Based on the set list from Maiden’s recent Somewhere Back In Time tour, this is a blend of various versions of each song. Many will be familiar to Maiden fans and hopefully a good intro for newbies to the greatest fucking metal band ever. Up the irons! (photo thanks to Microphone Matt)
Next time you find yourself in Omaha, stop in to La Buvette and say hi to Julie Berry.
She’ll get ya drunk and fed after a long journey on the open road.

Illektrolab was kind enough to supply us with the latest podcast. A live set of original breaks and electro- this short, but sweet cast will keep your head bouncin’ and your ass shaking.
You can buy Illektrolab’s releases on wax by visiting his website.
Recent events in Tibet have brought up a question not addressed since the Cold War: are there any circumstances under which a boycott of the Olympics is justified? A zenarchist like myself will inevitably find himself on all sides of the issue at once.
First, any discussion of a boycott must acknowledge that Olympic sports suck. Olympic atheletes are to professional atheletes as bloggers are to novelists. If you can’t at least attract an audience on annual/seasonal basis and sell some domestic beer in the process, then you are a hobbyist. But if you really want to devote your life to javelins and shot put, by what right could any government prevent you? If I wish to prance around a foreign capital in a Red White and Blue leotard, there’s no reason I should have to ask Jimmy Carter or the Supreme Soviet for permission. Even uglier is the thought that ’the American voter’ might have some say in the matter - that Joe Sixpack could wield some sort of the moral authority over “his” Olympians from a La-Z-Boy by remote control.
But assuming “we” did have the authority to boycott the Olympics, it is depressing that “we” would still lack the will to do so. When China was poor and powerless, it was easy to ignore its uglier personal traits: low self-esteem, xenophobia, paranoia, and self-righteousness. But as China has become factory floor to the world, power has magnified those traits. And as China’s civil rights record degenerates, its leadership becomes less and less apologetic. Meanwhile, Tibet looks like the beaten spouse - too submissive and too principled to take up the rolling pin against the meathead in its living room. Indeed, the Dalai Lama himself has come out against an Olympic boycott. The continuing interference with the Olympic torch procession only serves to emphasize the utter powerlessness of the Tibetans-in-Exile. No one in the West has any better solution. Hillary Clinton wants the President to boycott…the opening ceremony. But then attend the games. And ”let” the atheletes do so as well. Exactly what message this aggressively nuanced position conveys to the PRC is not clear. It manages to insult the Chinese without damaging their material interests in any way - possibly the most culturally tone-deaf stance one could take toward a nation driven by “face.”
A better policy would be no policy. This is a battle which, sadly, cannot be won. The President should stay home and watch the games on NBC. Participation by atheletes should be a question of personal conscience. In the meanwhile, we can move Tibet to Williams, Arizona. It’s a win-win. The Tibetans get an altitude and climate quite similar to the Tibetan plateau. The residents of Williams get a touch of cosmopolitanism, a great tourist attraction, and some of the most interesting brains on the planet. This is pure wu-wei - victory through surrender - creative non-violence at its very best.
Then we can work on moving Israel to South Florida…
Nowhere else will you hear the stoney, bass-driven sludge noise of Man Is The Bastard mixed into the robotic stylings of our friend and favorite alien, Illektrolab. Power violence, favela booty breaks, electro and african soul never sounded so good together. Or did it ever? Fuck it, we listen to everything and you should too.
Included on this ‘cast, you’ll find several things we should point out. One, being a track by an unknown artist on Boom Chick Records. Story has it that the label owner has a studio in his basement where a bunch of bands go to drink and record. We acquired a compilation courtesy of Matt at Homer’s Records in Omaha and felt that some of the tunes should show up on the show. This one is a stand-out track and you can expect a few more in future playlists.
You’ll also hear a tune by our good friend and resident of the world, Illektrolab. Not only an amazing DJ and now world-renowned producer- this man is responsible for my exposure to a ton of great music and introduced me to several life-long friends, including newly appointed ‘caster, Joe The Homie, aka Toke-1.
I’ve splattered a couple other random goodies throughout that come from compilations by a great fashion company (A.P.C. - www.apc.fr), some soundtrack gems from I’m Not There, City Of Men and The Hunting Party, and a tune from our favorite podcaster, The Yank Sizzler. He was kind enough to share a great find, The Particles. This is a late-70’s Australian band that has since been overlooked, but put out some great music. For a more in-depth listen to them, a link to download their discography, and some seriously worldly tunes- check out his podcasts- linked in our “Affiliations & Inspirations” section.
Until next time.

Recording under his other moniker, Endosonix, Toke-1 cuts the dreads and steps away from the steel drum to take us into the future with a wonderful mix of electro and breaks. I’m sure he’s still high as fuck and wearing a perforated mesh Kingston jersey, but, we won’t hold that against him.
A globular cluster of mind warping, head bobbing, electro sounds. Please turn up the bass.
