Wakanda, an instrumental beat by Nik Furious. Thanks to Neal for turning me onto Tanya Morgan's She Moved Outta Cincy, a song that features a beat almost identical to this Nik Furious production. Of course, the insane infinity genius that he is, Nik Furious made this beat back in 2005... and it still sounds hotter than the Cincy beat! ZING! Be back next week to hear what the Unlicensed Attorneys at Law did on top of this track.

9. At approximately 2 AM EST on Friday, May 29, 2009, a savagely loud banging noise emanated from my ceiling as my upstairs neighbor decided to start rearranging furniture in the middle of the night. Then, once the banging subsided...
8. An atrocious noise began to filter down as my neighbor then decided to vacuum directly above my bed (and, in turn, my head) for a good 30 minutes. Laying awake and angry about the noise, my thoughts wandered as...
7. I started thinking about how bad I want to read my Iron Man "Armor Wars II" backissues. But I promised myself I'd finish reading A Scanner Darkly before I started reading any new comic books because...
6. I've been desperate to finish reading A Scanner Darkly for Pete's Culturology book club. I vowed to complete it in time for this Monday, despite the fact that I've reached the end of a grand total of two prose novels in the past four years. Thus, with the loud sucking noise still persisting...
5. I finished reading A Scanner Darkly and it sucked. And that makes me cranky. You wouldn't like me when I'm cranky. Disappointed with the novel and still unable to sleep...
4. I found myself busy responding to the AudioShocker Grammar Police on a throw-away post I wrote about zombies. Pleased that Neal stuck up for me, I then decided to peruse some other blog comments when...
3. I became perplexed while trying to figure out why Neal saw Sanchez, of "Dirty Sanchez" fame, as a "sweaty day laborer." I mean, why couldn't Sanchez be a wealthy Mexico City businessman or a student at a prestigious university who just happened to like both blow jobs AND anal sex? Recognizing a trend...
2. I became concerned that a lot of people I know like to make comments that perpetuate negative Hispanic stereotypes. And after all this, I see that it's now 4 AM and I'm still awake because...
1. I'm busy writing this goddamn list.

Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Awesome. Now that’s what I call math.
Cap is right. I saw the sex tape. It was hot.
... in the back of Marvel Adventures comic books. I'm not just saying that because Chris Giarrusso is a friend of the AudioShocker (or because I have a weird infatuation with Elephant Steve). I want more Mini Marvels because they're fun, exciting, and they make my day better.
Problem is, there are significantly less Mini Marvels coming out these days. This concerns me. If you want to read more Mini Marvels comic strips in your monthly comics (or even in digest form), then you should email adventures@marvel.com and tell them. I did.
P.S. While we're on the topic of Mini Marvels, I should mention that Chris G has a new digest out from Image Comics called G-Man: Learning to Fly.
P.P.S. I love you, Elephant Steve.
... in comic books nowadays. I mean, seriously, at what point does this zombie saturation become savage oversaturation? It's not like I'm preaching anything revolutionary here. It's just that I'm getting a little bored with zombies.
Frankly, I think it might be a good idea to retire them altogether. Not forever, mind you, but just for a couple years. A little zombie break might be healthy.
Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. Maybe zombies should be milked for all they're worth right now. Ring the goddamn undead dry until they don't sell comics anymore! Maybe that's really the way to go. Let them kill themselves like any other good capitalist trend.
P.S. What do I know? I'm guilty too.
... in comic books. That's one type of mythological creature / monster that never seems to get any comic book exposure.
I think I've only seen a merman in a comic once. An issue of Peter David's Aquaman, I think. Obviously it wasn't THAT memorable, a clear sign that we need more mermen in comics in general.
Now I'm not saying we shouldn't have more mermaids. I just don't think the need is as great as the need for mermen. Mermaids traditionally have a much higher profile than their male counterparts. We should still have more of them too. Just not at the expense of the mermen.
Where could the mermen show up? Obviously, in any superhero title dealing with the seas. But Aquaman and Namor don't have solo series right now, so that makes it a bit tougher. But anywhere really. I'm not picky.
Some merman fight scenes could fit nicely into any comic. Maybe New Avengers? Or possibly in JLA? Anywhere is fine with me.
P.S. What if Wolverine teamed up with a badass, cigar-smoking merman who carries a machine gun? That could be sweet.
Thanks to a dropped Google Voice recording, there is no AudioShocker Podcast #82 today. It was going to be a rambling encounter with Ross Campbell, but alas, now it's up in the air when you'll hear that (if at all... THANKS TO FUCKING GOOGLE!).
One thing is certain - we'll have AudioShocker Podcast #82 for you fresh and early next Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009. Until then, whey don't you relive some of our greatest Ross Campbell podcast moments?

Hero versus hero is what Marvel vs. Capcom is all about! It's no secret that I'm not a fan of the arcade version of Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes. However, that's the only way you can fight War Machine and Iron Man against each other.
This image comes from the cover of Invincible Iron Man #11 by Salvador Larroca and Frank D'Armata. Thanks to Comic Box for the hook up. They always have the best hi-res comic book solicitations on the Internet. Be back here next Monday for a new Hyper Combo Wallpaper!

Break Vows, an unreleased Nik Furious production, starring Cherry DeMA as a marital affair advocate. This Nik Furious beat is also used for I Love My Freak by the Unlicensed Attorneys at Law.
On Thursday night, Ross Campbell and I recorded 178 minutes of podcast. That's right, we recorded almost three fucking hours of incoherent babble just for you. In fact, we logged so much talk time that we decided to spin off our conversation into its own recurring podcast feature.
Delighted with our insane rant, we hit "4" on the keypad and heard the "call recording off" voice I've come to love over the years. But then something horrible happened - THE RECORDING NEVER DELIVERED TO MY GOOGLE VOICE INBOX.
I've lost three hours of podcast talk time intended to fill the upcoming AudioShocker Podcast #82 as well as the first three episodes of A Podcast with Ross and Nick. What the hell, Google Voice?
This never would have happened with GrandCentral. For those of you unfamiliar with Google Voice, it used to be a service called GrandCentral, which assigned you a dummy phone number and allowed you to record incoming calls. It was an amazing service. I never had a single technical problem with it.
But Google Voice has not been so smooth. First off, they changed the user interface to something far less friendly. Then they complicated the back end settings. Then they made call recording unreliable. I've had issues getting my recorded calls to deliver to my inbox in Google Voice before, but that was just when I was testing it out.
Everything went fine when I interviewed Paul Tobin a couple months ago. But this is only the second time I've tried to use Google Voice to record a podcast interview for the AudioShocker and the damn service dumped my entire recorded call. WTF!?!?!?!?!
I should have known there was going to be a problem recording that night. Ross and I had technical issues from the start - I tried calling in my usual fashion and the service kept sending me to the voicemail checker instead of to Ross (even though I clearly unchecked my phone number from the list in the settings tab).
So users beware - Google Voice is not the same as GrandCentral. It's got a lot of problems and it's pissing me off right now. I know it's a free service and I shouldn't be this mad, but I could always depend on GrandCentral. Obviously I can't do the same when it comes to Google Voice.
