Still in catch up mode after redoing alot of my computer shit, so I'm putting up the two Echo Chamber recaps I did last weekend:



ECHO CHAMBER EPISODE 167

-What comes into my brain anytime I hear "Dental Plan"

-Google Cardboard

This looks like something Nerdist or whatever would put as "DIY VR Headset" or something and then google sold it to you for $20.

-Beavis and Butthead changed a shiiiiitton in their reboot. While it was nice to see them riff on the numerous reality shows MTV had at the time, it didn't lend itself well to the idea of two idiot teenagers riffing on whatever's on TV. Part of the comedy is that they were confused about what's going on, and it came from a point of ignorance.

When they came back it was like 20 years have passed for them. They don't sound as into it, they're acting like the've got kids of their own, and they're looking down on the videos not in a teenage "This sucks/this rules" kind of immature binary, but in a "Tsk Tsk, KIDS THESE DAYS"


Though I did like the riff they did for "Firework", even if they did sound a lot more listless.



"You're not a firework" "SHUT UP BUTTHEAD I AM A FIREWORK"



-Music videos in the internet age obviously have a lot less money put behind them, but on the other hand, a lot of consumer grade equipment is really good and relatively affordable. Also, internet culture has the benefit of being a lot more accepting of "weird shit" and weird concepts that might be a bridge too far for TV nowadays. Even an indie band can put something decent together on a low budget, as evidenced with OK GO. With them, it's less, "How can we put this on MTV, which is the TV equivalent of the radio", but "How can we get people to watch this?"

-Lonley The Brave "Victory Line". I don't want to watch it again to talk about it gives me so much feels.

And now, to leave you with an insprirational quote from DASHAREZ0NE

ECHO CHAMBER EPISODE 168-Paolo's not that far off the mark for a lot of people. As much as we try to eat healthy, we're curious. Like the desire to not miss out on Mom making brownies far outweighs the desire to eat healthy. Like why advertisers and the like try to phrase things in a way that are brains think "HOLY SHIT I GOTTA MITIGATE RISK" vs. "HOLY SHIT I WANT THAT"

-I'm surprised we didn't bring up the pinnacle of gluttony: Brasilian Grills. It's essentially an All You Can Eat place, but instead of going up and getting the food, they bring you a shitton of meat so long as you have this token thing flipped up to the green side.

-I didn't think the "Rib Cage Of A Virgin" thing very far. Like, that virgin's ribcage has to be stripped clean or else their body meats will interfere with the BBQ meats. And if it's bleached then that's a safety hazard.


And high noon is 12 o' Clock..... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
