Request Line: The Afterlife

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

A pair of radio professionals are standing in front a large piece of electronic equipment.  The large piece of electronic equipment is visibly excited, no I don’t know how to show that onscreen you’re supposed to be some big hotshot director, you figure it out.

PRODUCER: All right, it’s finally time.

CONNOR, THE INTERN:  You ready, buddy?

DJ 3000: I SURE AM.

PRODUCER: You got your callout notes?

DJ 3000: THEY HAVE BEEN FULLY DIGITIZED AND ARE STORED IN A HASHABLE ARRAY FOR INSTANT RETRIEVAL.

CONNOR, THE INTERN: And your tonal settings are good?

DJ 3000: [autotuned] AFF-IRM-A-TIVE.

PRODUCER: All right, then here…we…

Suddenly, DJ 3000’s screen flashes white, then starts to fill with static.

The static slowly starts to resolve itself…

Until a set of human features can be distinguished.

GHOST OF CHRIS CORNELL: Hey guys.

PRODUCER: Holy cow.  Chris Cornell?  How did this happen?

GHOST OF CHRIS CORNELL: Well, have you seen that movie “White Noise”?

PRODUCER: No.

CONNOR, THE INTERN: No.

DJ 3000: No.

ELI MANNING: No.

RUSSELL OKUNG: Naw.

CAM NEWTON: No.

RAY LEWIS: I didn’t see nothin’.

MATT McGLOIN: No.

BEANSIE: Eek eek!

MYLES JACK: No.

ELI MANNING: No.

WES WELKER: Banana!

BILL BELICHICK: Grumble grumble your mom I mean no.

BRONCO: No.

RQBOCOP: I am not familiar with that motion picture.

ELI APPLE: No.

AMARI COOPER: [shakes head]

GARY KUBIAK: No.

COOPER MANNING: Yes…[looks at ELI MANNING, who slowly shakes his head]…I mean, no.

MARK DAVIS: No.

JIM TOMSULA: No.

MATT RYAN: I did.

Everyone stares at him.

MATT RYAN: [shrugs]  It was pretty good.

GHOST OF CHRIS CORNELL: Anyhow, I can use radio devices to talk to people one last time.  And I’m pretty sure you guys know how much I loved music, so I thought this would be an appropriate place to say goodbye.  I was thinking…

— [radio flies open] —

GHOST OF ROGER AILES: Jee no waba mu ba outmian nudcha.

PRODUCER: What the…?  What did he say?

GHOST OF CHRIS CORNELL: Oh, that’s just Roger’s original tongue.  He wanted to say goodbye too.

GHOST OF ROGER AILES: Chuba meet nu but uba, hehehe.

GHOST OF CHRIS CORNELL: And that…liberals are…uh, not good.

GHOST OF ROGER AILES: Ulwan beya ta too kah eel huba pa na jokaaaa….. [fading away]

GHOST OF CHRIS CORNELL: I’m not going to translate that last bit.  It was really racist.

PRODUCER: Where’d he go?

GHOST OF CHRIS CORNELL: Oh, don’t worry about him.  They’re sending him to a place that will remind him of his home planet.  It’s, uh, nice and warm.  Well, not “nice”, so to speak.  But it’s warm.  On that note, let’s get to it!  Today’s topic is THE AFTERLIFE!  Heaven, hell, purgatory, Valhalla, wherever you think people end up when the curtain goes down.  I’ll get us started with a classic from Pink Floyd.  So long, everybody.  It’s been real.

It’s fine as long as there’s no abused dogs video to go with it.

laserguru

Now I feel like drinking Jameson.

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Are there supposed to be times where we don’t feel like drinking Jameson?

laserguru

Not really now that you mention it.

SonOfSpam

Sorry about this one, kinda on the nose.

All of you suck.
And so do I, but slightly less than the rest of you…..

And who wants a TRIPLE SHOT of God Only Knows?

QUAD SHOT – The Fendertones do really good Beach Boys covers

Double shot of the same title but different song.

Wow, you can take this to a lot of places.

I almost included this song in Sunday’s edition of Sunday Gravy which will be self evident when it posts. I love this fucking song.

I just learned today that allegedly, this was the last song Chris Cornell played, in his last show…before….well, ya know….

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Awesome lead in this week, RTD!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

As Beansie would say, EEK!

King Hippo

It’s a little more real today. Gravity of this event is very strong. Cobain, now Cornell. Voices of my generation couldn’t take any more.

theeWeeBabySeamus

OK, now even I hate me.
I need moar food and less….chemicals.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOGEyBeoBGM

theeWeeBabySeamus

Ha!!!!
Nice.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yes, I post REM every week too. Get over it.

Obligatory….I suppose. Ugh.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hey….psst….HIPPO!!!!!!!!
This one’s for you, baby….
/changes address and phone number
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEzhlFqtAJk

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hmmmmm…..
Now I wonder who could have possibly downvoted this??????

theeWeeBabySeamus

Nice. Also totally not predictable coming from you.
LOL.

King Hippo

I dug deep into her…archive

theeWeeBabySeamus

Fuck you in advance, it’s a good song….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y2icHOgC5U

King Hippo

Not nearly as bad as teh double shot below. This is actually totes acceptable.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Hee hee.
You realize now that I need to find moar songs to piss you off.
lol.

King Hippo

You were gonna do that anyways. Plus, methinks you need an Avett Bros. intervention, they end up in every. single. thread.

theeWeeBabySeamus

And?

Trust me, they’ve got plenty I’ve avoided linking. Not just this week, but pretty much every week.

And also…shut up.

😀

King Hippo

JUST. FUCKING. NEIN!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

lol

King Hippo

A friend of mine and I used to exchange “Top 5” lists, and one was places/acts we would see if we could go back in time. One of mine was a Chicago jazz club (primarily black) to see Ms. Holiday. She’s amazeballs.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Agreed. Way way agreed, my friend.

King Hippo

A live version, to twist the knife even deeper. This one always cuts deep.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoR0mGq_z2I

theeWeeBabySeamus

Jeebus, one could almost just link Death Cab’s whole catalogue for this week.

theeWeeBabySeamus

One of my favorite top ten(ish) songs.
Nice pick.

King Hippo

P-Furs one of the quiet heroes of 80s music. Good shiznit.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I concur.

theeWeeBabySeamus

This one might not make sense entirely, but whenever I hear it these days it reminds me of my dearly departed Papa…..
So close enough.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXdNnw99-Ic

theeWeeBabySeamus

See? Now I have to dislike you again.
You suck.
I had that one in the chamber.

King Hippo

you already fired, like, 6 goddamned times!!!

theeWeeBabySeamus

Most of the ladies like that quality about me, but fine….sorry.

nomonkeyfun

Only if it takes more than 3 minutes in total.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Shhh man…be cool.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Huh? Evahbody else dead today?
Oh, hey….afterlife. Hehe.

King Hippo

I had NO CLUE there was a Benatar version of this. Wee bit darker than “Love is a Battlefield” eh?

At least someone appreciates my (lack of) talent.
