“Twelve stories high, made of radiation.” On Today’s show, Jon and Jill share memories of early children’s television and then bicker while Diane dusts off her 12 gauge. Topics of discussion include a bill which would allow students to carry guns on college campuses, Rahm Emanuel posting a $2,500 bounty to discover the identity of a twitter imposter, a crime-fighting DNA spray, and a man who finally got that darn knife surgically removed from his head after being stabbed 4 years ago. Other topics include one homophobe’s hypocritical tattoo and what one woman will do if you steal her girl scout cookies.
This week’s featured song is “Smarter” by Eisley. Their next album, “The Valley” will be released March 1st.

Good Monday true believers! Here is a sneak preview to get your nerdy bits tingly. Over the weekend Anime studio Madhouse (Hello Kitty & Friends) released a teaser trailer for an upcoming series based on Marvel’s X-men. So far only 12 episodes have been announced and network G4TV will air the show sometime in 2011. No news yet on whether episodes will be subtitled or dubbed. So far reports say that the series will follow the X-men reuniting after the death of a teammate to save Armor, who has been abducted in Japan. The identity of the fallen teammate is still a mystery…but my money is on Jean Grey, ’cause she is always dying. Kinda embarrassing. For more information check out The Escapist.

Our favorite zombie comic and television program is getting the video game treatment. In an interview with IGN, series creator Robert Kirkman spilled a bean or two on this and on AMC’s second season. He didn’t say much, but he did say that he hope for fan favorites Michonne, Tyrese, and Hershel to appear on screen. The video game is still in the earliest stages of production, so we don’t know what sort of game it will be. My guess would be something similar to Mass Effect or Dragon Age; lots of action but the game’s true focus will be on storytelling and consequences for choices made. The game is slated for release this fall.
Attention Radiohead fans : if you pre-ordered The King of Limbs you can download the album today. While you are waiting for the album to download, you can check out the music video for “Lotus Flower” below.

Chelsea and Jon welcome Ashley to the cat studio. Ashley talks about studying to become a celebrant and talks about all things spiritual. Chelsea and Ashley then talk about embarking on a sisterhood journey of enlightenment. Later, we get the awesome Devyn to skype with us. All in all this was a very fun bender and we are so glad we were able to rescue it from the cutting room floor, so to speak.
PJ Harvey’s eighth studio album, Let England Shake, was released this past Tuesday. The album has received amazingly positive reviews including one perfect ten from NME. NME critic, Mike Williams writes, “Francis Ford Coppola can lay claim to the war movie. Ernest Hemingway the war novel. Polly Jean Harvey, a 41-year-old from Dorset, has claimed the war album.”
Photographer Seamus Murphy, whose work on Afghanistan is included on his website, A Darkness Visible, created short video pieces inspired by each song. So far we have seen videos for “The Last Living Rose” and “The Words that Maketh Murder.” Below you will see the video treatment for “Let England Shake.”

Danielle Georgiou, “Love Crime”
Last week my best friend posted a Rémi Gaillard compilation video on my facebook page. I was not at all familiar with Gaillard. He is a French humorist. If I wasn’t so afraid of jail I would buy me a costume and cause me a ruckus too. Check out “Pac Man,” “Mario Kart,” and “Butterfly” below.  Then, check out his official website by clicking here.
