Season 4 · Episode 157

Tuesday, May 14, 2024 • Duration 02:49:57

Kendrick versus Drake. Where did all of this start, what the heck happened? I'm going to do my best to break it down.

The FNPS: Episode 145 - Requiem for Darrell (03-17-2023)

Season 3 · Episode 145

Saturday, March 18, 2023 • Duration 02:02:41

Four years ago this Wednesday, our friend Darrell left this world. I wanted to take some time this week to pay tribute to the man by collecting songs by artists that were meaningful to him, and some stories from the people who loved him.

To learn more about non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and other blood cancers, or to make a donation of time or money, please visit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society website (lls.org in the US). If you don't have time or money to spare, donations of blood, platelets, and plasma can improve and extend the lives of those with blood cancers. I know they made a big difference to my mom when she had leukemia.

Also incredibly valuable and important is getting on your national stem cell (or bone marrow) registry (Canada's registry, the US registry). You may never be called on as a match, but the more people who are registered, the better the odds of someone surviving blood cancer. Registry is easy and painless, and donation is simpler and less invasive than it's ever been. A heartfelt thank you to all those who donate regularly, and are on the registry; you give us more time with our loved ones, and that's a gift beyond measure.

Rancid - An Intimate Close Up of A Street Punk Trouble Maker
Rose Tattoo - Rock & Roll Outlaw
The Class Assassins - Urban Rebel
The Clash - All The Young Punks (New Boots and Contracts)
Motorhead - Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers
Merton Parkas - (I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone
D.O.A. - World War 3
The Clash - Straight To Hell

Season 3 · Episode 144

Saturday, March 11, 2023 • Duration 02:00:56

Things have been a little nutty as of late. I have two shows I still need to do post on (one from Valentine's, and one from last week), and the two remaining episodes for Quiet Storm haven't happened yet. This one's out of order, and I have some catching up to do, but things should be back on track soon.

This week's show is intended to describe what a panic attack (or an acute anxiety attack) feels like, and some of the songs I find help me ease down from that place.

Massive Attack - Inertia Creeps
Gary Numan - I Can’t Breathe
Fatboy Slim - Right Here, Right Now
FC Kahuna - Nothing Is Wrong
Orbital - The Box, pt. 1
The Prodigy - Full Throttle
Klute - Make It Stop
Goon - Panic (Tekara Remix)
Nostrum - Brainchild
Underworld - Mo Move
