Bond Parallax

Ian Fleming's James Bond is not the most complex of characters.  But the franchise of films has given us some of our most memorable cinematic moments and cultural clichés.  Time marches on for everyone but James Bond, who never seems to get older (except for that unfortunate return of Sean Connery at 53 in Never Say Never Again).  The Bond fighting megalomaniac billionaires and malevolent governments in 2009 hasn't changed much since Dr. No (1962) and From Russia with Love (1963), though the world has changed drastically from those Cold War Ian Fleming days.  The whole Bond milieu is a parallax, where the character of James Bond is an almost fixed point with the world moving rapidly around him. 

This week, DJDeedle takes some of the iconic Bond themes and sounds as his fixed point and moves the musical world rapidly around them.  And because going to the movies just isn't the same without it, if you listen carefully, DJDeedle's even thrown in the popcorn. 



A word of warning:  This Deedlecast contains some rude words, for your ears only.

Holy Caffeine

Caffeine, everyone's favorite psychoactive stimulant, can have a profound effect on the human brain and psyche.  It picks us up when we are down, speeds us up when we are slow, can cause and cure headaches, can leave us jittery and on edge, and sometimes drops us just as quickly as it picks us up. This Deedlecast is a fully caffeinated blend designed to have a similarly profound effect.  Careful, you might find yourself addicted.

Equal Measure

June is Gay Pride Month, and this weekend in Washington, DC is Capital Pride weekend.  Though some even in the gay community think that the time for pride parades and festivals has passed, given the the civil rights gains and losses of the past year, it's more important than ever to be visible and demonstrate our renewed determination. This is the 21st century and civil rights are the killer apps we all need in equal measure, regardless of your operating system, gay or straight.  This weekend, go gay.  It's better than sex.  Just a note:  this Deedlecast contains some strong emotions, sentiment, and language.  Also, remember - parties and festivals are the only kinds of gay bash allowed - ever.

Slap Happy

News that Vince Shlomi, aka the "Slap Chop guy" or the "Sham Wow guy," was arrested for felony battery
when a game of slap and tickle with a Miami prostitute turned violent,
prompted DJDeedle to take some liberties with Slap Chop guy's
infomercial.  Actually, DJDeedle took liberties with a youtube spoof, Slap Rap Featuring Vince (Slapchop Remix), that takes its own liberties with that famous infomercial to hilarious effect.  This show also features a musical take on Christian Bale getting slap happy
himself and throwing a superstar sized tantrum.   DJDeedle strenuously
opposes and abjures violence of any kind, particularly by infomercial
and film stars with inflated egos.  So, this week, let's all get a
little slap happy at their expense.
