Mediafire 4:20
Once again that time is upon us. The news is going to be covering the 15th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing, the 11th anniversary of Columbine and ignoring that its Hitler’s Birthday. However, all of those things around this date are irrelevant to the legions of connoisseurs of the green. It is on the date of 4/20 each year when those folks just want to get catatonic and hang out with like minds. Well, here’s a soundtrack for your 4 O’clock hour (start it at 4 and the 4:20 smokedown is perfect). Stoner Rock/70’s rock is without a doubt some of the best smoking music, and I threw in some killer tracks for this special Holiday Edition of Sucking the 70’s:

I Can't Believe He Died Last Night: A Tribute to Peter Steele
Mediafire
When I woke up on Tax Day, I was planning on watching some Faux News and laughing at the teabaggers. This did not happen. Now, I lead a bar workers life so I’m up until some ridiculous hours of the night and get up later in the morning. Life lets me live that way right now so I do, so when I got up it was already confirmed that Peter Steele had died. I’ve never had a love affair with Type O Negative as some people have, but I’ve also not been one who has written the band off entirely. Sure, I’m not really a big fan of “Life is Killing Me” as a whole, but you still have two solid tracks from that album in this show. When memorializing Petrus T. Ratajczyk you can’t just pay attention to Type O Negative. Obviously the significance of really putting the eventual blight of a label Roadrunner on the map, and having sold millions of records worldwide has put a shadow over Carnivore (and Fallout was about as underground as you can get). Of course, you cannot deny the significance of Carnivore in the New York Thrash scene, though I’ll be the first to admit that I only have a passing interest in the music. There are definitely some good songs, and I can see where the thrash die-hards are all over it.
I know for a fact that some people will complain that I didn’t include enough Carnivore, but just compare catalog size. There will also be people who will complain that I didn’t include “Song A” (Love You to Death; yeah, I know), and again I have to say look at the catalog size. As for Fallout, I had never heard the songs until after his death, but they are rare as hell so I included both.
My first introduction to Type O Negative was back in 1998 when I went to college. I spent most of my high school years listening to the classics, but when I left the area for college I started to explore modern heavy music. I had already been wondering where it really was. If you look back on what I was listening to then, and compare it to what I listen to today there won’t be too many carry-overs. One of the things that really kept Type O Negative in my good graces were the vocals of Peter Steele. As a baritone/bass myself I really have a thing for a solid vocalist in that range and Peter Steele was that, and more.
In 2007 when I was an over the road truck driver I was taking a break in Springfield, MO and saw that Type O Negative had released a new CD. Rasputin was on the cover, and that was one of the few weekends that I actually had some disposable income, so I just bought it. I didn’t really know what to expect (you’ve read my thoughts on the previous release), but I was pretty blown away. “Dead Again” really grabbed me from track one. There were many nights I kept myself awake on the road by singing the title track. I’m quite disappointed that there won’t be a follow up, I was definitely looking forward to seeing where this crew was going to go.

Sucking the 70's - March 2010
After I was in radio for a few years doing strictly metal I felt the urge to really start to branch out. It was around this time that my fascination with progressive and hard rock from about 1967 to 1974.* I’m in the camp that none of the music released during this time is what we would eventually call heavy metal. Some songs absolute fit eventual molds, but overall the bands were generally just hard rock bands. They really weren’t doing anything to separate themselves from other hard rock bands. Blackfoot was heavy metal, so why weren’t Black Oak Arkansas or Lynyrd Skynyrd? I feel that most of the 70’s “heavy metal” bands were laying the foundation for what we would eventually call stoner rock and, of course, influencing a new sound that we call heavy metal, not just some arbitrary tag. However, that’s not really an argument I’m looking to start here, I’m just laying out the foundation for the show. So I took this theory and added modern stoner rock and some traditional/doom. Anything that really holds that vibe of the 70’s, the music of today that is “Sucking the 70’s.”
Now, I am well aware of the compilation series “Sucking the 70’s” which had two editions (2002 and “Sucking the 70’s: Back in the Saddle Again” released in 2005). Did I get this name from this compilation? No, however, it’s irrelevant. Honestly, what is radio if not a plethora of stolen ideas? Over the years “Sucking the 70’s” has morphed more into showcasing modern bands with the 70’s vibe along with exposing some of the very underexposed bands of the late 60’s and 70’s. Of course, some of this also had to do with the streaming radio I was involved with having a strict ban on RIAA material; which I limit here, but don’t outright refuse to use.
There’s all sorts of fun stuff in this one, and a few features. I may expand out into two one hour blocks as it feels a tad cluttered as a one hour show (with 3 features). Now, I’m not going to give anything further away, except I’d like to make the suggestion that you start this at the top of an hour. It’ll make one of the features that much more fun. So pack one up, put your lips on the piece and start “Sucking the 70’s”
Playlist:
Clutch (US-MD) – Freakanomics – From Beale Street to Oblivion – 2009
Alabama Thunderpussy (US-VA) – R.R.C.C. – Fulton Hill – 2004
Boris (Jap) – 1970 – Heavy Rocks – 2002

The second part of the Top Albums of 2009 show. This one went a lot smoother for me, though there is definitely a fun cock-up that I'm not going to point out see if anyone catches it. This one was a bit of a challenge because I took some of the shortest (but still kick ass) songs from the albums and still came up with 57 minutes of music. Sure, I had to talk over an ambient part, but I crammed it all into a 1 hour recording so I'm pretty happy with that.
Playlist:
11. Code (Norway) - Jesus Fever - Resplendent Grotesque - 2009 - Tabu
9. The Ruins of Beverast (Germany) - God's Ensanguined Bestiaries - Foulest Semen of a Sheltered Elite - 2009 - Ván
14. Bloody Panda (United States - New York) - Summon - 2009 - Profound Lore
8. Pensées Nocturnes (France) - Flore - Vacuum - 2009 - Les Acteurs de l’Ombre Product
6. Wodensthrone (United Kingdom) - Heofungtid - Loss - 2009 - Bindrune Recordings
3. Krallice (United States - New York) - Autochthon - Dimensional Bleedthrough - 2009 - Profound Lore
1. Drudkh (Ukraine) - Distant Cry of the Cranes - Microcosmos - 2009 - Season of Mist
Now that both broadcasts are posted I'll throw my list up on here as well:
1. Drudkh (Ukr) - Microcosmos (Black Metal)
2. Impiety (Sgp) - Terroreign (Apocalyptic Armageddon Command) (Black/Death/Thrash)
3. Acheron (US) - The Final Conflict: The Last Days of God (Death Metal)
4. The Chasm (Mex) - Farseeing the Paranormal Abysm (Progressive/Atmospheric Death Metal)
5. Kralliice (US) - Dimensional Bleedthrough (Black Metal)
6. Wodensthrone (UK) - Loss (Folk/Black Metal)
7. Slough Feg (US) - Ape Uprising (Folk/Doom/Traditional Metal)
8. Pensées Nocturnes (Fra) - Vacuum (Black Metal/Ambient)
9. The Ruins of Beverast (Ger) - Foulest Semen of a Sheltered Elite (Black Metal)
10. Razor of Occum (Oz) - Homage to Martyrs (Black/Thrash)

The numbers above correspond with where each album fell on my top list.
After listening to my debut podcast I have a few critiques (especially the clear fuck-up at the end of my last voice track, but I'll get to that), but overall I think its turned out fairly well. Especially considering I haven't done anything like this in 9 months (far too long). I'll be straight up and say that these shows are voice tracked and mixed not recorded live. Eventually it will lead to a far more professional sounding project (a compressor mic would help too). As I stated above there is a pretty solid fuck up at the end of my final voice track, but that SOB was so long and I hit it pretty solid up to that point... I wasn't cutting it again. Just remember 9 month hiatus ;-)....
I was really thinking about how I wanted to do this show since if I did it in order from 1 to 20 or 20 to 1 there would be absolutely no flow. This is one of my biggest critiques of that nightly joke of an extreme show I used to listen to on Sirius that sounded more like a hodge-podge of bullshit thrown together simply because they had to. I didn't want that so I figured lets just make the best mix I can from songs from the album. I decided that it was best for me to break it down into two shows as it would basically have to sound that way anyway with extreme followed by atmospheric or vice versa. As I type this I have not done the second show yet, as I'm still recovering from idiot patrol on New Year's Eve.
Eventually there will be both 1 hour and 2 hour shows being produced. I really don't like the single hour format as it really doesn't allow you to really express much, but lots of people don't want 2 hours so...
Either way this is the beginning of work that is 100% mine, at this point I answer to me, and anyone I choose to answer to will be exactly that my choice. I hope you fucks enjoy and expect a lot more cool shit coming in future weeks.

I decided that it was best for me to break it down into two shows as it would basically have to sound that way anyway with extreme followed by atmospheric or vice versa. As I type this I have not done the second show yet, as I'm still recovering from idiot patrol on New Year's Eve.
Eventually there will be both 1 hour and 2 hour shows being produced. I really don't like the single hour format as it really doesn't allow you to really express much, but lots of people don't want 2 hours so...
Either way this is the beginning of work that is 100% mine, at this point I answer to me, and anyone I choose to answer to will be exactly that my choice. I hope you fucks enjoy and expect a lot more cool shit coming in future weeks.
