The Garret Schuelke Podcast Episode 13: A Hero Can Save Us with Jim Zoetewey

Neobeatglory is a music project where I, Garret Schuelke, use public domain sounds to create music. One thing that I kept in mind throughout the creation of my first album, I HATE LIVING IN THE FUTURE, was how grateful I was that such things exist. To show my appreciation towards the creators--and fans--of pubic domains sounds, I decided to release an instrumental version of IHLITF.

This album is available for free download (or "Name Your Price" if you feel like throwing me a buck or two), and, just as the original samples, the tracks are public domain. 

I hope you folks enjoy them or, better yet, you found inspiration just as I have to start your own music project.

Special thanks to Elmblad Media Group for additional mixing.

Yours Truly,
Garret Schuelke

We Need More Dead Fascists

Gimme Some Intrusive Thoughts

Track created in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in July 2022.

Additional mixing by Elmblad Media Group.

Lyrics:

My hook up is coming over and I need to get high to perform
So my mind doesn't feel like its trapped in a storm
But I'm all out of crack, and I got no LSD
So taking a huff from that bag is the only solution I see

I can't fuck with meth any more cause it attracts the coppers
And I cant even cum when I'm snorting poppers
You gotta do everything in moderation, this I know to be true
Cause if it wasn't I wouldn't have the Jenkem Blues

My girl pushed me away, said my mouth tasted like shit
I told her she never seemed to mind when my tongue was down her pit
She slapped me as hard as she could, then ran out that door
Before the pain could set in, I was already huffing more

I can't fuck with meth any more cause it attracts the coppers
And I cant even cum when I'm snorting poppers
You gotta do everything in moderation, this I know to be true
Cause if it wasn't I wouldn't have the Jenkem Blues

So listen to me folks, there's only two things you need:
Bottles filled of liquor and bowls full of weed
Experiment on occasion, but watch what you do
Or you'll become addicted to that fecal stew

I can't fuck with meth any more cause it attracts the coppers
And I cant even cum when I'm snorting poppers
You gotta do everything in moderation, this I know to be true
Cause if it wasn't I wouldn't have the Jenkem Blues

The Jenkem Blues

Track created in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in August 2022.

Additional mixing by Elmblad Media Group.

Lyrics:

During the week I'm in your public schools making your kids dumb and weary
Cause all I do is fill their heads with Critical Race Theory
On the weekend I'm in the streets, shouting into a bullhorn on the curb,
Directing Antifa into your middle class suburbs
Then every night I relax, reading from the Elders tome,
As I sip some soothing, delicious adrenechrome

Oh, it tastes like Heaven, and it tastes like home
That sweet, tangy, cool Adrenochrome
It's better than drinking whiskey, it's better than smoking mids,
Cause it comes from the blood of tortured, frightened kids

It's another great day in the Great Replacement,
Cause the U.N. found some patriots hiding in a basement
They thought they could stash away their Bibles,  their guns they could hide,
But we were in a frenzy committing White Genocide
With a job well done, we Reptilians went out to roam
And we chugged mugs filled with adrenechrome!

Oh, it tastes like Heaven, and it tastes like home
That sweet, tangy, cool Adrenochrome
It's better than drinking whiskey, it's better than smoking mids,
Cause it comes from the blood of tortured, frightened kids

My proudest moment was when I assassinated Q,
Turns out he was just a 4chan dweeb, not part of some anti-Deep State crew
Now we truly control the public we're herding them like cattle,
With this population we can stay forever in the saddle
With another job well done, I let out an agonized moan
Cause I can't wait to quench my thirst with adrenechrome

Oh, it tastes like Heaven, and it tastes like home
That sweet, tangy, cool Adrenochrome
It's better than drinking whiskey, it's better than smoking mids,
Cause it comes from the blood of tortured, frightened kids

Now all the sheeple have a bar code and their third eyes are shut
Illuminati members have their castles and the peasants have their huts
As for me I'm up in space, retired  within the hollow moon
All nice and comfy within my multidimensional cocoon
A toast to the Kochs! A toast to George Soros!
And three cheers to all my other Masonic heroes!
May you have your epic adventures! May you write your life-defining poem!
And may you always have a steady supply of adrenochrome!

Oh, it tastes like Heaven, and it tastes like home
That sweet, tangy, cool Adrenochrome
It's better than drinking whiskey, it's better than smoking mids,
Cause it comes from the blood of tortured, frightened kids

I'd Walk A Mile For Adrenochrome

Track created in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in August 2022.

Lyrics:

Make me a bed right there on your couch
Make me a bed right there on your couch
I plop on down and make a bed on your couch

I’m a poor lonesome punk, I’m too tired to go home
I’m a poor lonesome punk, I’m too tired to go home
I plop on down and make a bed on your couch

Cops on my tail cause I started a riot
Cops on my tail cause I started a riot
I plop on down and make a bed on your couch

The clock is broken, I think I’ll sleep in
The clock is broken, I think I’ll sleep in
I plop on down and make a bed on your couch

Bed on the couch, baby bed on the couch
Make me a bed right there on your couch
I plop on down and make a bed on your couch

Bed On The Couch

Fall is finally here, which means, among other things, it's time to BICYCLE without having to endure the oppressive summer heat! Garret celebrates this occasion by chatting with writer and world traveler Robert Downes about his epic guide to Michigan bikes trails, BIKING NORTHERN MICHIGAN, how he got into long-distance bicycling, the many U.S. states and foreign countries he has biked in, and Garret is shocked to learn just how cheap and easy it is to ship your bicycle on a flight across the ocean!

The Garret Schuelke Podcast Episode 62: Hitting The Trail with Robert Downes

Much to Garret's surprise, famous shock jock Anthony Cumia makes a special appearance on #powefulGSP from his *PROBABLE* death bed. Also, since its been eight months since he's been on, Zach Elmblad and Garret do a sort of pseudo-end of the year review, going over their respective trips to the Netherlands and New York, discuss their most recent podcast collaboration, THE CHEESEBURGER BLUES: AN EXPLORATION INTO DAD BLUES ROCK, and finally, after years of Garret pilling him with gay space socialist propaganda, Zach concludes that America does, indeed, SUCK!
