Wake up Call Show

Wake up Call Show

We need to hold legislatures accountable when they do wrong and break the rules and sham the people. We should not reward them. How can you reward Gov Palin in the wake of troopergate and the dishonesty and unethical behaviour. Are we looking for trouble? You would trust her to run this country when she has been found guilty of corruption while serving as Governor in the State of Alaska? How can you trust Mccain when he was one of the five senators involved in the Keaton Scandal that cost taxpayers, governemnt lots of money and cost countless of people thier retirement, and livlihood. People suffered as a result of Mccain's good old boy scandal. We should not allow thies crooks into the White house when they have already proven to us from past experiences how they have put this country last not first. How can we be so blinded by the cameras, action, the act of those who only use polished words and lies, hatred to destroy us. We have seen in the past through the civil rights era the hatred and divisiveness that was used by wicked men and now this similiar strategy being used by Mccain/Palin to instigate this same national terrorism. Just listen careful and you well see that Mccain does not fall far from that tree. Our economy is unstable and as if that wasn't enough now Mccain and Palin continues to ensue aggression and instigate anger, and fear where lunatics, radicals scream out hateful rederick to destablize our national security. Then to add insult to injury Mccain turns around and acts like he is being victimize after being called on the carpet about his hatred and irresponsibilty to host decent political campaigns. Palin cant even maintain control at these rallies nevermind this country. People are screaming out Kill Obama at these rallies like a 60s lynch mob. Instead of Mccain/Palin denounce or utilizing thier security he commend these individual and praises them during his debate tonight. What bigots, and how disgusting. These two do not represent America or country first. Palin should go back to Alaska and keep hanging out with her buddies Bill Ayers and Steve Stalle, and we will talk more about Mccains connection on the Wake Up Call show shortly. No apology should be given by Obama or Senator Lewis. We have to start acting like the head and not tail. You dont see Mccain apologizing for nothing no matter how wrong. We can talk about flag pins on one hand, call out Michelle Obama and host baby daddy talks, where is Michelle Malkin now on the Palins daughter baby daddy drama. We need to respect ourselves and stop always trying to go along get along when we know these folks are dead wrong. Why do we need thier approval? One thing I will say about Joe Biden has been dead on point and in your face with truth. More time and talk needs to be devoted towards the issues that American are facing with healthcare, outsourcing of american jobs, environment, alternative energy, etc. Mccain should be ashamed of ever speaking of himself as a hero. He does not represent America. He represents terrorist. Furthermore no more questions need to be asked about the citizenship of Obama who by the way was born in Hawaii and Mccain in the Panama Canal. Hawaii is one of our 52 by the way just like ALASKA. How about Panama Canal? Last time I checked that wasnt part of american soil. I am sure citizenship was addressed when SENATOR Obama ran for senate. Have some respect people. Those of you that cant see through Mccain/Palin probally couldnt see anything wrong with separate toilets, separate water fountains or the term "that one" as a human being was sold like cattle. Quite faking the funk if your mind and heart was really open minded and right you would see the spirit Hitler in the body of Mccain. I say keep Hitler/Mccain out of power

    The Church - Gold Afternoon Fix

    Many people might think that the esteemed Ripple office is a place of ultimate harmony. A musical sanctuary, an aural utopia, where nary a negative word is ever said. The Pope and I walking amongst the enormous leaning towers of CD's, working our way through the maze of vinyl, always in complete agreement as what constitutes a Ripple Classic.

    Actually, that's not entirely true. While the Pope and I do see eye-to-eye on many great albums, really what we see eye-to-eye on the most is that music is an entirely personal affair. What moves one doesn't necessarily move the other. And in the end, that's the greatest thing about what we're doing here at the Ripple. We respect everybody's individual taste. We're not here to tell you what's good or great, that's for you to decide. What the Pope and I are actually here to do is to spread the word on the music WE love, and tell you why. In the end, the best we could ever hope for is that our enthusiasm and wandering words (and video samples) will pique your interest enough for you to research out the disc and make a decision for yourself. In doing so, maybe, just maybe, we can help open your ears to a sound that you may have missed.

    So while the Pope and I completely respect each other's innate right to like whatever piece of music we like, it still doesn't mean that we always agree. Case in point, The Church.

    Colour Haze - All

    There’s a new psychedelic vibe bubbling up from the underground and here at The Ripple we’re tuned in and turned on. My first taste of this new sound came when my fearless editor over at Peacedogman, Marchman, dropped the latest Dead Man CD, Euphoria into my lap. Admittedly, I didn’t quite know what to make of it at first, but after repeated listens, I was addicted, hooked, as if my brain synapses had just wrapped around the finest bud of Maui Wowie or Acapulco Gold. Now I got Colour Haze’s new CD All warping out of my speakers and I think I’ve died and gone to THC heaven.


    Long Germany’s prime purveyors of stoned-out psychedelic rock, Colour Haze dig deep into their resin-lined pockets on this, their ninth album and third for label Elektrohasch Records, brushing the stray leaves and twigs off their instruments, refilling the bong and diving head first into a fuzzed-out, swirling ride of psychedelic stoner bliss. Currently composed of Stephan Koglek on vocals and guitars, Philipp Rastohofer on bass and Manfred Merwald on drums, the band started way back in 1995 with more of a straight forward Black Sabbath inspired sound. But as the current lineup cyrstalized in 1999 they abandoned the heavy riffs for a more freeform exploratory jam sound, bubbling bongs and mushrooms, and they’ve never looked back.

    Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal

    Whoa! Did you feel that?

    It felt like something just crashed into our building! Holy crap . . . Racer! Check this out! The street is littered with paramilitary troops and it appears that the world is ending!

    Okay, it didn’t happen exactly like that, but it was darn close. It turns out that the earth shattering noise that just shook the Ripple offices was someone (me) inadvertently (purposely) pushing play on the CD player without first removing Bolt Thrower’s Those Once Loyal. Yeah. It’s that mighty of an album. You haven’t heard it? Cool. I didn’t expect that you would have.

    Here’s the skinny. Bolt Thrower is an uncompromising death metal act that seemingly worships warfare. I say that because everything that I’ve ever heard from them pertains to the art of war, and for years, I figured that was all they had to offer. I’ve since come to find out that, like all things, there’s more to it than that. Not only does Bolt Thrower write aggressive tunes about death, destruction, and the inevitable end of existence, but they write with the kind of detail as if they were teaching a class on the subject. Detailed lyrics that delve into the psyche of our soldiers make the subject matter a whole lot more interesting than had the band simply stated, “Killing is my business and business is good,” over and over again. Of course, wrapping ones head around the lyrics is no simple task if there’s no lyric sheet on hand. The vocals, in traditional death metal fashion, are guttural utterances that take some time to cut through and decipher. I’m a sucker for this kind of stuff, so it was easier for me.

    Proto-metal Report - May Blitz - May Blitz/The 2nd of May

    One of the things I like best about exploring this endless vein of gold that is proto-metal, is never knowing exactly what I'm going to find next. As I wrote before, the proto-metal period (roughly 1969 - 1973) was a time of dissolution of all the rules. The ecstatic feyness of the psychedelic '60's giving way to the bitter dissapointments and despondency of the Vietnam/heroin '70's. Rules fell apart, genre's collapsed. In fact one of the most beautiful things about this time period is that bands we now call proto-metal, actually share very little in common in terms of sound, other than a desire to be heavy. Believe me, Bang sounds nothing like High Tide, who have very little in common with the JPT Scare Band.

    And then there's May Blitz.

    Free - Tons of Sobs

    It was released to staggering indifference.

    It was 1969, and three albums would arrive to typify British Blues: Jeff Beck’s Truth, Led Zeppelin I and Free’s Tons of Sobs. Two of these are venerated for having been the building blocks of blues-based rock. If you have both of those and think that you know the whole story, then I’m here to tell you that you’ve been missing something.

    Free was still two albums away from the song that would put them into their little corner of rock Valhalla, “All Right Now." This is the starting point for the great unsung British rock band.

    Rumors Heard in MySpace, Episode 7

    Well Waveriders, it’s the end of August and the kids are preparing to go back to school. The temperatures are in the hundreds and everybody is looking for some relief from the heat. And, I mean everybody. I coulda’ swore I saw the devil himself hosing down in my backyard before standing in front of the air conditioning unit. But, I’m not here to talk about theology or the financial dilemma I face with my utility bills. I’m here to tell you about the word on the street . . . or, in this case, the information super highway and cyber social gathering Mecca known as MySpace. As many of you know, I’ve spent many hours surfing and finding some interesting bands that no one else, but a select few, know about. And as is the case with every Episode up to now, I’m going to spend the next few scorching moments telling you about the hot topics and burning issues as they pertain to a handful of artists that we care about. Like how I threw all that temperature related stuff in there? I sat up for hours working on that one.

    Venomin James - Left Hand Man

    War is hell.

    Inherently, we all know this, yet for some reason we can't help but glorify it, romanticize it. It's been done since the days of Homer through Hemingway. You can even hear this in our music. There's a whole genre of music, Battle Metal, devoted to little more than glorifying the brutality of war, romanticizing the march, the machismo of the onslaught, the beauty of the kill.

    You won't find any of that in Venomin James.

    Pulverizing, Sabbath inspired doom metal, Venomin James is a battering ram of detuned guitars, sludgy bass licks and drums pounding at you with the vehemence of a heavyweight boxer beating his opponent's face into oblivion. This is a full-on assault of monsterous riffs, dynamics and power, wrapped up and dropped off in the south, hinting at a touch of the ferocity of Corrosion-style swamp metal. Touches of classic stoner metal flourish amongst the unadulterated fury of the heavy doom vibe.
