Mondo Diablo Episode 269 is Bacchanalia Part I: The Last and Least
Welcome to the first part of a big three-parter!
I have enjoyed Peter Schickele and his disovery, P.D.Q. Bach for, garsh, 25 years at least, for "Bob’s" sake. Funny I haven’t shared much with you yet. well, not so funny (yes, so funny). All of my music is on vinyl. So, I had to do an epic search and and epic emptying of my bank account to get some non-scratchy stuff. Of course, some of the scratchy stuff is inevitable. I listened to it a lot, because I was a nerd. A big nerd. I used to sing some of this stuff in school, because I knew people would have no idea what I was doing. And of course, they didn’t give a shit, either. No worries.

San Diego Opera Podcast: Nabucco’s Prayers
We all know by now that Verdi’s Nabucco is loosely based on the Bible, and the deep background of the story is the Babylonian Captivity, the Exile. Upon looking more closely at the libretto of the opera, one can find all of the different forms of prayer that one can actually find in the Bible, prayer-forms that are actually recognized by Biblical scholars. Did Temistocle Solera, the librettist for Verdi’s opera, know the Bible that well? Perhaps, perhaps not. But listen to the examples you’ll find in today’s podcast and make up your own mind.

Nova Star Hunters: Episode 1
"After listening to the first episode I would almost guess Nova Star Hunters was more inspired by The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy or Red Dwarf …" sez Jesse from SFFaudio where I found this hilarious, inspired, clever audio drama (can you tell I loved episode 1?). Give it a try with those two examples in mind.

Third Paradigm: 3P-024 We Interrupt This Commercial
Looks at a book called The Soap Opera Paradigm: Television Programming and Corporate Priorities. In particular, examines the idealism of radio and TV in their youth, before the seeds of commercialism took over. Shows how the soap style has been adopted by sports, prime-time, reality shows, disaster coverage, and especially news broadcasting.
Reads In Praise of the Earth by John O’Donohue to the music of Evolution by Cinematic Orchestra. Comments on healthcare as a human right, and proposes an alternative model. Ties in newborn chicks to Naomi Klein’s article, "Brain Bubbles and Hope Hangovers." Plays "Had a Dream" by Bird York, Mat Weddle’s acoustic cover of the Outkast song, "Hey Ya," popularized by Scrubs, and "Words Can Save Us" by Chumbawumba.
