The Characters

The best series I've seen on Netflix so far. The Tim Robinson episode was perfect weirdness.

Characters of note (borrowing some descriptors from here):

- The Pointer Brothers (Tim Robinson)
- Homeless man who weaponises "Game of Thrones" spoilers (Natasha Rothwell)
- John, the gay narcissist at his own engagement party (John Early)
- Guy who tries out guns in a gun store as he describes murdering people over minor disagreements (Tim Robinson)
- Father who sings a country song to his baby daughter about his love for her future husband, Jeff (Tim Robinson)
- Jaspar Cooch (above), host of "Big Trucks" (Paul Downs)
- Guy who doesn't want to role-play as a black man during sex (Paul Downs)

Sleeping, expert level


Old gear

The old M-Audio interface (not recommended), and the Death by Audio Robot 8-bit pedal (cool concept, but limited in its practicality); 2012.

My only picture of my Dunedin effects board. From memory (left to right): Boss tremolo, EHX Big Muff, Vox Satchurator distortion, Guyatone overdrive.

Year Of The Beer (2018 Edition)


Disgraceland Podcast - Norwegian Black Metal

"The circumstances around Dead's suicide, the rumours of Euronymous' cannibalism, the church burnings, grave desecrations, rumoured death of a homosexual man at the hands of someone in the scene, and the harassment of other poser-metal bands all caused Mayhem's reputation to ring out worldwide. But a snuff film? Showing the torture and murder of one of the scene's biggest stars? That would truly be something. True evil. Let's see Dave Mustaine rub out James Hetfield on film. Megadeath...more like Megapussies."
