New Skin For The Old Ceremony

Thursday, February 2nd, 2012

See this?

http://darkmeat.name/wordpress2/

Get used to it. Starting next week, it’s where you’ll be getting your Dark Meat from. I’m updating my blog – it will be snappier, darker, sexier, and the music will sound better. You can’t prove me wrong, scientifically!

I don’t think it will affect the podcast feed at all, but if there isn’t a new episode where you expect one by February 9th, you might want to consider resubscribing using buttons on the top left of the new page. And of course, feel free to send an email to podcast@darkmeat.name if you need help.

The new blog is live if you want to check it out.

Dark Meat 139: Anthony Weiner

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

I don’t usually do topical shows (it cuts into their rerun potential) but the Anthony Weiner OMG IT’S A PICTURE OF UNDERPANTS scandal has captured the nation’s imagination. Enjoys songs that seem to be about it, though some were written when even he was just a kid.

* Beatles – Carry That Weight
* Avenue Q – The Internet Is For Porn
* Nilsson – Everybody’s Talkin’
* Frank Zappa and the Mothers Of Invention – How Could I Be Such A Fool
* Ben Folds Five – Mess
* Admiral Twin – Be The Show
* Candypants – Cherry Picker
* The Kinks – Dandy
* Randy Newman – I’m Dead (But I Don’t Know It)
* Papas Fritas – Say Goodbye
* Peaches – Tent In Your Pants

Dark Meat Ephemera – The Return of Categories

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

So a year or two ago I installed a WordPress update which completely obliterated the categories that I pose under.  For example, there is an extensive selection of shows about Bad Love and I would categorize those under “Love.”  I thought they were gone forever.

Last night I realized that somewhere along the line of updates, I gained the ability to edit the categories again. That is, all the old categories were still there, just their names were blank. So all the old episodes were still categorized, only I had no idea under what. So I renamed the categories as 1, 2, 3 and so on, then I sorted the episodes by category. There would be say, four episodes under #6. I’d look at the songs and say, hmmm, what do these things have in common? Aha! Holidays!

So the categories are back even though in about half the cases, I’m only guessing at what the hell I was thinking. What does this mean to you, the listener? Nothin’ probably. But if you’re interested in only episodes about Death, you can find them more easily now. Not as easily as Death will find you, unfortunately, but that’s not my department.

Host News – Divorce!

Friday, July 20th, 2007

The biggest reason the show has been in reruns for the past several months is I have been dealing with my crumbling marriage. Last night I signed papers so I can announce that my wife of 14 years and I are divorcing. Given the nature of this podcast, you can assume that I am at least partially to blame.

Some time soon I will put together a big divorce show; in the meantime I’m putting together the actual divorce so I beg your indulgence. Condolence messages are welcomed. And as always, thanks for listening.

Dark Meat: A Week Off

Sunday, January 7th, 2007

No show this week, because I used up my podcasting time guesting on THE MOVIE SHOW with Cameron Reilly. We talk about Casino Royale. It goes on FOREVER. However, it’s still pretty entertaining and you should listen to it.

Dark Meat: No Show This week

Big weekend, no ideas. Y’all get the halloween show next week though.]]–>

Dark Meat News: Podcast Expo – Meet The Host!

Thursday, September 14th, 2006

If you like the show, if you’re in the SoCal Area September 30th, if you like sweaty, pale basement people, consider swinging by the Podcast and Portable Media Expo. I’ll be wandering the hall on Saturday, dazed, asking people if they’ve seen my keys.
