Dark Meat 61: Testosterone Daquiri
It's the day after Cinco De Mayo, and today's show is a reminder of why everybody has a hangover. Songs about alcohol - can we call them spirituals? - for your listening pleasure. The show goes down better with a splash of coke. Play it twice if you think your liver can take it!

Dark Meat 63: How I Shun The War
I better hurry up and get a show in the can about the war in Iraq, because once its over there won't be any electricity! Dark Meat takes you on a tour of duty. Fall in! Everyone comes to a point where they have to do what's right. Fortunately I'm nowhere near that point yet but I'm willing to play songs about it! This week Dark Meat offers moral guidance - we're more danceable than your conscience anyway. I did a war show a couple of weeks ago, so what is left for Memorial Day Weekend? Ghosts! Remember the dead with us here at Chez Dark Meat - remember, they only want to be your friend.
