4th of July has come and gone, and that means on with the rest of the summer. The MLB All Star Game and the Olympics are around the corner, we get in to a couple of the hot topics around those events. Michigan football has a new head coach, are they being overlooked after winning a title? A quick Tedertainment Tonight, and a Detroit Jerky taste test. Take a listen and hit us up @3pointpod!

Trash Takes - Seg 8 - June 9

Decide to Ride, by Dark Company.
From CD 1, 'SNAFU', of the triple CD album 'A for Acronym'.

DECIDE TO RIDE
Reaction to refraction, a bent-stick water view
Administer situations to part of Heaven's crew
Stand smartly dressed against the rail
Uniforms with matching sails
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along

Inspected kinetics moving minds around
Archetypal archetypes esoteric sounds
Take a stand now on the stairs
Under signs saying "On The Air!"
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along

Checkerboard collectors, gamers of rare delights
Whale bone dice believers gifted with second sight
Braided caps placed there just so
Each one ready to stay or go
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Now should we go along
Should we go along with you
Should we go along
Should we go along
Should we go along
Should we go along

Performers:
‘Speedy’ Pete Greatorex – vocals
Zakk Black – guitar
Josh Reynes – piano, synths, trumpets
Maxx Damage – bass
Sven Stiglund – drums

Fun Facts:
* This is a song that Pete never sang a proper studio version of and his vocals were lifted from the very rough demo and cleaned up a bit.
* Well, quite a lot actually. :)
* The VST plugins didn't make the right kind of piano sound somehow so this is from the TG33.
* The guitar part is played on the Stratocaster.
* The trumpets come from the Akai S900 and a VST plugin called DSK Brass.
* There is an argument between the bass, which plays a C, and the piano and guitar, which play a C#, which has a wonderful emotive quality but which ceases to work when anything else is present.

A for Acronym CD 1: SNAFU

Decide to Ride

Dark Company: Decide to Ride (alpha mix)

3 guys, 3 generations, all from the same mid-Michigan town of Corunna. We all played multiple varsity sports at a high level and are currently working as members of the sports media.

Ted, the Baby Boomer of the bunch, attended Central Michigan University and since the mid 80’s has hosted The Sports Forum radio show and called high school play-by-play of a multitude of sports.

Our Generation-X co-host, Matt Burns, moved on from Corunna where he was a record setting wide receiver and graduated from Grand Valley State University. He now makes his living at ESPN.

Our youngest viewpoints will come from the Millennial of the trio Jerod Fattal. J-Rod starred at quarterback for the Cavaliers graduating in 2017, recently graduated from GVSU, and is working at Bally Sports Detroit.

Along with our unique 3 generation look at sports, pop culture, and current events, we have on a wide variety of guests; from ESPN's Ryan McGee, Ferris St. Head Football coach Tony Annese, media personalities Annie Agar and Wes Blankenship, ESPN Detroit Lions Insider Eric Woodyard, and plenty more!

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.

After Hours is live Monday-Friday from 6-8 PM live on 1620 The Zone. We talk all things Huskers, Jays, Mavs Reivers, and High School sports in the state of Nebraska!
