Request Line: Better Living Through Chemistry

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY.

The PRODUCER and DJ3000 are standing outside the recording booth.

DJ3000: SO THIS IS REALLY IT?

PRODUCER: This is really it.

DJ3000: NO TRICKS THIS TIME?

PRODUCER: I promise.

DJ3000: BECAUSE OTHER TIMES I THOUGHT…

PRODUCER: Not this time. This time it’s the real deal.

DJ3000: [sighs happily]

PRODUCER: Almost air time. You ready?

DJ3000: I WAS MANUFACTURED READY.

PRODUCER: Why don’t you head on into the recording booth, good sir?

DJ 3000 rolls into the recording booth, having to turn sideways in order to fit through the doorway.  He settles in front of the console as the PRODUCER gets set by the exterior controls.  

PRODUCER: And we are live in five…four…

DJ3000: CRITICAL SYSTEMS UPDATE DOWNLOADED.

PRODUCER: Wait, what?

DJ3000: SYSTEM REBOOT SCHEDULED IN EIGHT SECONDS.

PRODUCER: Cancel update! Cancel update!

DJ3000: ABORT, RETRY, FAIL?

PRODUCER: Abort! Abort! [realizes show has started, hammers button furiously] Hello folks, and welcome to Request Line! I’m here with your host DJ3000 in his radio debut, and he’s having a bit of stage fright, so…

DJ3000: INSTALLING SYSTEM UPDATES.

PRODUCER: Phew.  Well, this should…

DJ3000: THREE PERCENT COMPLETE.

PRODUCER: Oh, come on!

DJ3000: THREE POINT FOUR PERCENT COMPLETE…

PRODUCER: Okay, so it looks like DJ3000 is…

DJ3000: THREE POINT SIX PERCENT COMPLETE…

PRODUCER: …out of action for a bit.  Which is a shame, because I was looking forward to talking about the upcoming season of Robot Wars…[glances at DJ3000, hoping the factual mistake will shake him loose, but no such luck]…instead let’s get right to the music.  Today’s theme is “chemistry”.  I’m talking about elements, reactions, solutions, that kind of stuff.  Let’s mix it up!

I am ashamed I didn’t post this early. Also, ashamed at all of you. The most obvious better living through chemistry song. Interestingly, the video from a TV performance requires a sign in on youtube for adult/objectionable material.

It’s important to know at what temperature your chemicals become a solid:

You gotta know how concentrated your stuff is:

I once saw Bad Religion open for Rise Against at the Filmore in San Francisco. That, and the similarities of the songs are my reasoning for this DOUBLE SHAWT:

Scientists mix a lot of chemicals, right? So,

I think a black hole sun would qualify as a chemical reaction

Really drawing a blank on song offerings, but I did want to say that I was expecting an appearance by the dynamic duo of Leaf and Marinovich, based on the theme given.

/pours one out for DJ3000, immediately shorts out his docking station during the update download

Just went down a rabbit hole of the Danish National Orchestra performing Enrico Morricone’s “Fistful of Dollars”, “The Good the Bad and the Ugly”, and “Once Upon a Time in the West”. Really, really cool.

This is what I get for being late.

Mixing a bunch of stuff together is chemistry, right?

Agent Orange was a bad chemical.

Chemistry? I thought this was physics.

I believe DNA is made of chemicals or something. Plus, Alison could make me do horrible things.

Does vimeo work? Because youtube sucks when it comes to Hendrix. In the meantime, depression is about chemicals in the brain, right?
