October 11, 2015 - Blast from Oblivion, Jim Sadist Tribute, and GorGar!
Present were, EVD, Nathan, his friend, Dylan, Rob, Splatterguts, who is the one man band, Blast From Oblivion, people who haven't been here in quite a while, Nikki and Adam, and, someone who hasn't been here in an even longer while, at least a year and a half, GORGAR!!!!! There was a set of music in tribute to Jim Sadist, drummer for the band Nun Slaughter, who had passed away in the past week. At 2:00, The Old School Hour. At 4:00, The Cover Set, only, this week, it wasn't a Cover Set. It was something inspired by an idea EVD had a few weeks back. He said, "You know what would be a good idea", then said "Never mind". But when asked what it was, he said there should be a set of music that was the original songs. At the time, it was kinda dismissed, but Azkath decided it could work, and, even though following an idea of EVD's is usually a dangerous thing to do, this one was actually a good one, a set of songs that were all the originals of the songs that Metallica had made more well known. There were segments of Movie Time, and some TV programs were discussed as well...
-Fire Eater Wizard
This was a rare pre-recorded show. The whole crew went to see One-Eyed Doll in Clifton Park, NY, and so there was a lot of music and just Azkath hosting. However, included in this show was also the interview with Meka Nism as well as the writer of the movie Bloodpunch.
Nathan hosted the first half of the program, as Azkath was attending a Ring Of Honor wrestling event. Present with Nathan were, EVD, Justin, and, Olivia and Tim, from the band Undead Messengers. After Azkath got there, he gave Nathan a severe beat down, as a shout out to a family who listens every week, who's last name just happens to be, unfortunately for Nathan, Beet, so Nathan got a beat down for the Beet family, and, hi to the Beets, glad to have you as listeners, all the way from Britain. There was no Old School Hour this week, as Azkath was not there at 2:00, when it airs now, and there was no cover set at 4:00. There were segments of Movie Time, both before, and after, Azkath arrived. Nathan, while he was hosting, brought up a story on the Internet that a dying cop claims that Tupac is still alive, that he faked his death. 
The day after this LE, September 21st, would be Azkath's Birthday, Happy Birthday, Azkath(!), so this was a Russian Roulette Show, in honor of that, or rather a Spin The Wheel And see what horrible fate awaits you, which Azkath would get to pick. Present were, EVD, Just Joe, Nathan, Tim, Rob, R.J., Eric, James, the band Undead Messengers, and, Taylor, who is Tim's, the Undead Messengers Tim, sister. The results of the wheel spinning were, James had to break a record over R.J.'s head, then R.J. chased him into the bathroom, and, well, what went on in there, was so terrible that James didn't want to talk about it, just kept whimpering, among other things, it involved bad man smells. Tim, Nathan, Just Joe, and R.J., were in The Balloon Room, where people got molested with The Pooh Stick, and, somehow, Darksyde, wearing the same shirt as James was in there, and James was nowhere to be found, which was really bad news for Just Joe, as Darksyde really loves Just Joe a lot, unfortunately for Just Joe, Darksyde's way of expressing love is extremely violent, the more he loves you, the worse the beat down he gives you is. James got tasered by Azkath. Bicoastal Tim got thrown into a pile of mousetraps by Just Joe, which was, I guess, fitting, as, on Tim's Birthday, Just Joe had been tricked, being told he would get to throw Tim into a pile of mousetraps, for Tim's Birthday present, but it was really set up for Tim to throw Just Joe into them for his Birthday present. Undead Messengers Tim got a pie tin bashed over his head by Taylor, and he then fell into the mousetraps as well. Undead Messengers Tim and Olivia were put into The Balloon Room, where Just Joe tormented them with The Pooh Stick, and R.J. came up there to "Help". Olivia got shown Azkath's tentacles, in a closet, and was so traumatized that she whimpered that she was going home to Santa. EVD threw water ballons at R.J.. Somewhere during the night, Nathan got violated with The Pooh Stick, and had Just Joe play My Crotch Your Face with him. There were segments of Movie Time. At 2:00, The Old School Hour, and at 4:00, The Cover Set. And thus went the Spin The Wheel Apocalypse Show. 
Present were, EVD, Nathan, Tim, James, Justin, who hadn't been here for several months, and, Briana, of the band If Man Is Five. She played some songs acoustically in The Performance room. She sounded awesome. A track from one of If Man Is Five's CD's was also played, as well as a brand new song from them, from their new incarnation of the band, it was cool. You can find them on Bandcamp, Facebook, and, YouTube. Briana was interviewed, she told us about this new lineup of the band, what they're up to, and, what she's been up to since she's last been here, as it has been quite a while. Azkath played an interview which he had conducted with the band One Eyed Doll. It was bracketed by their songs, and was quite entertaining, as, as Azkath explained, the first time he recorded the interview, the recording program crashed, so they had to do it again. Kimberly had been serious in that interview, but, for the second one, kept cracking up at everything, laughing a lot, and, giving silly answers and explanations to things, like, that, apparently she is a baby chicken, her band mate is a salamander, and their song/video is all about puppies, it was amusing. They are an awesome band, they are on Facebook, and Twitter. Two days before this LE, September 11th, was EVD's tenth Anniversary being here, Happy Anniversary, EVD(!), and, isn't that an appropriate date for him to have made his first appearance!? So Azkath got him an Anniversary gift. Well, actually, he had told Tim to get it, he told Tim to get EVD something that, he, Tim, would really hate, since, if Tim hates it, it should be a pretty safe bet that EVD would love it. That was a good theory, but, in practice, it didn't work out. Tim got EVD a book by conservative talk show host Sean Hannity. And, although Tim, who is a conservative, doesn't like Hannity, EVD, who is really liberal, hates him. EVD took his gift and clobbered Tim repeatedly with it, and then did the same thing to James, for some reason, even though James had had nothing to do with getting the present. James wailed that he would have gotten EVD a Rob Zombie CD, which enraged EVD even more, as he hates Rob Zombie, so he wailed on James some more with his present. Then Nathan, who, being a Bronie, which means he has terrible judgement, made the mistake of reading from the book out loud, just because he thought the phrase "I don't drink the Republican Cool Aid" was funny. What's so funny about that? I guess you have to have a Bronie's mind to understand that. EVD became infuriated again, he began ripping up the book, and shoving it in Nathan's mouth. Nathan was forced to eat A LOT of that book. He became traumatized, and was curled up in a fetal position, clutching his Ipod. Well, Nathan, that will teach you to read conservative literature out loud in EVD's presence, and all for something that wasn't even funny! But, even though EVD didn't like his present at all, he did really enjoy the use he put it to, so he did wind up having fun on his Anniversary. Briana and James shared with us what their earliest memories were. And, we had a strange phenomenon this night, people kept changing into other people. First Justin turned into Tim, that must be what happened, because Justin was gone, and then Tim was there, and then the same thing happened with Briana and James, she was gone, and then he was there. Weird. There were segments of Movie Time, and TV programs were discussed as well. And, in our new scheduling of features, The Cover Set was at 4:00, and The Old School Hour was at 2:00... 
Tim from Victory Records was there after having been away for several months. The band Missing Marcus was on to be interviewed and to play some of their songs live and acoustic. They're cool. Also there were Mr. Zarumba of Punch Drunk Monkeys, and Dan-O Voodi of Punch Drunk Monkeys and also of the band Others. Mr. Zarumba played a couple of acoustic songs he had recorded as well. Very funny. They were there to promote The Xtreme Soundscapes DVD: Volume 2 Release Show. The big event will be this Saturday, June 4th, at Castaways. The show starts at 7:00. It only costs $5. The 1st 100 people through the door will get The Xtreme Soundscapes DVD: Volume 2 for free. And there will be lots of other free stuff, CD compilations, and all kinds of other cool stuff given away as well. And, of course!, the music! Never The Sunshine starts off the night, and If Man Is Five, Others, Elusive Travel, Divinity Destroyed, and Punch Drunk Monkeys complete with Crappy The Clown! (the Punch Drunk Monkeys and Crappy The Clown concert is a one time only, and, thus, a once in a lifetime event, as the band is broken up, and so that alone is something truly not to be missed!) will all be performing. And Just Joe will have a special roll onstage as well, which, I'm sure, will also be unforgettable and another thing that all by itself is not to be missed. This event also marks the 11th anniversary of The Last Exit For The Lost. So, all of you should be in attendance! Support the independent music scene, hear and see lots of great music and have a blast! All the visitors to LE were asked and gave their silly answers to lots of those crazy questions from 
The first hour of the show was prerecorded as everyone was attending The Xtreme Soundscapes Showcase at Castaways. When they returned, around 1:20, they brought with them the vocalist from one of the bands who had just performed at that show. Mem, the vocalist for Sun Descends (also former vocalist for Exumer and Humongous Fungus). He gave a long interview, telling us about his band and his thoughts on the music scene in the past and today. We also got to hear several tracks from the bands CD played. They're cool, and I hope all of you in the area attended the concert at Castaways. After Mem had gone, they asked Just Joe how he was feeling, if he was over his insanity of the previous week, blubbering about an awful sea monster in the basement? Just Joe said that he was fine, absolutely fine, and that he was no longer afraid of the basement, or any monster. They told him that, if that were really true, then of course he would have no trouble proving it by going to the basement... At first he seemed a bit reluctant to do this (they have locked him in once he was there many times, after all). But, they assured him that all would be well, and promised that no one would lock the door on him. Being stupid, Just Joe decided to trust them. He went to the basement... Now, unbeknownst to Just Joe, they had put a big cardboard cutout of an ugly looking monster in the middle of the basement. They waited to see what his reaction would be... After a bit, Just Joe emerged from the basement. At first he seemed pretty much ok, and they congratulated him on overcoming his totally unwarranted, irrational fear of the basement... But then Just Joe started muttering about a monster in the basement. Feigning innocence, they said "what monster??". "there is no monster." At the next talk break, Just Joe had somehow acquired an axe, and declared that he was going to show that monster and take care of it once and for all. And with that, axe in hand, he went charging down to the basement. Then there was a terrific amount of noise. A lot of crashing and banging, and yelling which went on for a long time. They speculated that maybe Just Joe had impaled himself on the ax (that would be a very Just Joe thing to do, after all). But then Just Joe emerged from the basement saying that he had gotten rid of the monster. Oh, and one other minor, insignificant item of note btw, (almost left this out, it's so trivial), he was absolutely covered in blood... Just Joe was bragging about how he had dispatched the monster. He was informed that there had been no monster, that it had been a cardboard monster for a joke on him. At first Just Joe would not accept this, but, as the truth slowly began to sink in, he seemed to become worried for some strange reason, who knows why? He posed the silly question that, if the monster had been cardboard, then where did all the blood he was covered in come from? No one seemed to have an answer for this. Just Joe started muttering some other nonsensical things. Weird stuff like how maybe he shouldn't be there, and something about the cops for some reason. Now why would he mention cops? Can you figure that out? I sure can't. But then, who can ever figure out Just Joe, he's so stupid, nothing he says ever makes sense! Azkath went down to the basement to have a look. When he came back, he reported that, the cardboard monster was gone, that there was a lot of blood... And nothing else... Somehow, the conversation got around to the broken toilet, which had started this whole sea monster business in the first place by flooding the basement. Just Joe was told that it was still broken, and he said not any more, he had fixed it, he had found something to drop down it that stopped up the leak. He then mumbled something that sounded like "human body", but, why on earth would he be saying something like that?? I must've misheard him, he was mumbling and ranting, after all. I can't imagine what he seemed so upset and worried about! Ah well, it's just Just Joe being Just Joe, I guess. He is insane. The sanity test they gave him the week before concluded that he was a maniac, after all, so there you go, and don't forget stupid. So who can figure out what his weird ramblings might mean!?
Brianna, guitarist for the band If Man Is Five, was there since she had been ill a couple weeks ago, when her band mate Angela had been on, and, thus, had been unable to be there then. She updated us on the band. They have a new bass player. Her name is Kate. And Brianna told us about what projects If Man Is Five is working on and what's coming up in their near future. She also was asked and gave her answers to lots of those crazy questions from 
Just Joe was there. So was his pretend dad, Crow, the drummer for The Pushrods. It was decided that the Just Joe appreciation hour (which had ended the show the week before), would now be expanded into a whole Just Joe appreciation night, which would be that night. Just Joe was told that, barring any really bad behavior from him, it was his night. Just Joe was happy with this, and things went well... For awhile. But, it is Just Joe we're talking about here, so, it was to be expected that this could not last for long. Apparently the toilet was broken (that, amazingly, was not Just Joe's fault, but what came next was all his fault), and there was a sign on it informing everyone of this fact, and warning against flushing it as the water would keep on flowing and flood the building if anyone did. Wouldn't ya know, Just Joe somehow missed this sign and flushed... Causing massive flooding. He promised that he could fix this. His solution was to route all the flooding to the basement. He was told that that was not acceptable (some people are just sooo picky and hard to please!), as there was equipment and a large part of the CD catalog down there, things which were needed for the show. Just Joe said that the basement door could not be opened any more. They tested this and found that he was right. They threw Just Joe into the door many times to try to get it to open. No luck. So they threw him through the window. By Now the water down there was waist high and stunk badly. Next break they ordered Just Joe back to the basement. He said that he did not want to go down there because there was something bad down there (something besides the stinking waist deep water), something which had grabbed him. He resisted strongly, insisting loudly that there was something bad down there. They threw him back down there anyways (with a huge rough toss through the door and down the stairs)... Just Joe could be heard screaming in terror down there. So who knows, as that was the end of the show (or, at least the talking part of it). 
Angela, the Vocalist from If Man Is Five was there, (unfortunately band mate Brianna was ill and thus could not make it). She was there to talk about an upcoming concert. Saturday, May 7th (this Saturday) If Man Is Five and a bunch of bands, one of which is another LE visitor and favorite, the band Others, will be performing at The Lordes Breast Care benefit at The Skatepark In Johnson City. It costs $5 and should be a great show, so you should attend it! Angela performed lots of If Man Is Five songs acoustically on the air. She has an awesome extremely powerful voice as anyone who is at all familiar with the band knows. Her performances on LE rocked, her powerful voice blowing out all the levels as usual. It was awesome! A member of Lotus Project was there. No, of course not David, the worst co-host ever, he's too busy getting totally wasted every weekend, which is more important to him than his co-hosting duties, to bother to put in an appearance. No, it was Pat, the guitarist. Just Joe was there and being his usual stupid annoying obnoxious self. He and Azkath got into a fight, one which was to be the first of many that night. This one started when Just Joe threw a cup of water at Azkath. It hit the board, hitting a button that caused a squealing sound. Azkath grabbed a cup, put a little water in it, and began chasing Just Joe. Just Joe grabbed Pat and pulled him in front of him, meaning to use him as a human shield against the water he knew Azkath wanted to throw on him. But Pat just casually reached back and tossed his own cup of water (which had much more water in it than the one Azkath had), right into Just Joe's face. Pat was roundly congratulated for his nice work. It was decided that although Just Joe had not been told this beforehand, (who cares about such minor unimportant technicalities!?), that that was going to be considered his challenge for that night, which, of course, he had now lost. Just Joe just doesn't seem to do too well with any challenges involving glasses of water apparently. Pat got to pick a song to be played for winning the Just Joe Challenge, and Just Joe did not get to pick one for losing his challenge. Then there was another brawl. Pat threw Just Joe on the ground, and Azkath stepped on his head and made it bleed. Later, Just Joe was becoming rambunctious and annoying yet again (he just can't seem to help himself). Pat and Azkath both attacked him again. And this time, in edition to thoroughly beating him down, they totally destroyed his chips. Azkath sat on the chips many times. By the time they were through, the poor chips were absolutely totally and thoroughly crushed. Now you can kill Just Joe, you can brutally beat him, you can torture him... All of this he is just fine with. But mistreat his potato chips, well, this he finds absolutely and totally devastating! He was crying over his ruined chips. Pat left, and Azkath told Just Joe that he wasn't going to beat him any more. Well, not any more for the rest of that night, at least. In fact, Azkath told Just Joe that the rest of the night would Be Just Joe appreciation time. This time was spent telling Just Joe that they liked him and loved having him there. And in fact, as part of this Just Joe appreciation, Just Joe finally got a song by Triumph (one of his favorite ones) played for him. And so that was the show. At the end of it, Azkath told Just Joe that now Just Joe appreciation time was over, and that that would be the last of it. So, this week, we go back to hating Just Joe and to trying to destroy him.
