INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY
A pair of radio professionals prepare for the day’s show.
DJ 3000: [to himself] WELL, THAT’S KIND OF GRIM. [to the PRODUCER] HEY YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT GOOGLE’S DOODLE TODAY. [calls it up on his main display]
PRODUCER: Okay…[begins reading aloud]…And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold…
— [door flies open] —
PRODUCER: Oh good, you’re here. Thanks for taking time out of your schedule to join us.
JOHN ELWAY: …
PRODUCER: I know things must be very busy for you at this time of year.
JOHN ELWAY: …
PRODUCER: [starting to grow uncomfortable] What with the, uh, draft coming up and all.
JOHN ELWAY: …
PRODUCER: So, uh, it says you had, a, uh, co-host that was joining you?
JOHN ELWAY: [flicks his head in the general direction of the restrooms]
PRODUCER: Ah, yes. Happens to the best of us. Well, in any event, have a seat, and…
JOHN ELWAY: [wanders into the recording booth but does not sit down]
PRODUCER: …I guess, uh, yeah, go ahead and keep standing if that’s more comfortable for you.
DJ 3000: SO WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO PLAY FOR US TODAY, MR. ELWAY? A LITTLE HALL & OATES? MAYBE SOME FIONA APPLE?
PRODUCER: [hits mute button on DJ 3000] Sorry about that. Actually, Mr. Elway’s representation sent over a topic for us to use. Here it says…pestilence. Ooh, topical! Let’s get to it.

Editor’s Note: Today’s theme is “pestilence”. So that means all songs that relate to disease, vermin, quarantine, etc. In order to have videos appear in comments, you don’t have to mess around with embed codes or anything, just post plain links as such: “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b00m3rDooMEr”. When you hit refresh it should show up as embedded and you can rock out at your leisure. If your link doesn’t pick up, an admin will try to help out.

I cannot read anything that features the Prince of Doom, John Elway. May his spleen rot and his teeth turn black.

OH SHIT
Nice one. Yet incomplete until you’ve seen this version:

oh my cats, I been looking for this for ages – I saw this performed live with Trent and Bowie, and it absolutely was magic!!
Bowie with the “angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress” was an all-time great moment.
That whole time period was crazy, and that whole connection with them is insane. I need to go back and watch the Closure video–fucking Downward Spiral era NIN shows are exhilarating.
if anyone ever needed a poster child against sobriety – it’s pre- and post-heroine Trent Reznor
I mean, I loved The Fragile and that tour specifically was breathtaking and achingly beautiful, and I like that he gave into his urge for dance floor bops on most of his post-DS albums, plus he let El-P remix stuff and went on one of his tracks (which I think I’m gonna post here), AND I totally support Soundtrack/Dad Trent… but, yeah, nothing has been like the Downward Spiral era. The only thing that comes close is Earl Sweatshirt’s I Don’t Like Shit I Don’t Go Outside, which sounds like a depressed person rapping while drowning.
selfish Trent, preferring to stay alive FOAR his wife and child ,, smgdh 😀
