INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

Once again, all the lights are…wait, it turns out the lights are actually on this week.  Though, as usual, it remains completely silent.  DJ 3000′ boots up…

…to see a familiar face lounging on the sofa, a textbook open in his lap. A soft snore indicates that the young man is asleep, and we see the equalizer panels on DJ 3000’s console dim as he sets his volume to 20%.

DJ 3000′: AW, POOR LITTLE GUY IS ALL TUCKERED OUT.  HE MUST HAVE BEEN STUDYING HARD.

DJ 3000 emits a series of warm chiming noises that gradually increase in volume, and HUNTER RENFROW eventually stirs. 

HUNTER RENFROW: [glances over] Oh, hey man.

DJ 3000′: TOP O’ THE MORNIN’, BUDDY.  HAVE A NICE NAP?

HUNTER RENFROW: It was pretty good. I was dreaming that a Vulcan girl had asked me to her prom.

DJ 3000′: OOPS, SORRY TO HAVE INTERRUPTED THINGS.

HUNTER RENFROW: That’s okay, it wasn’t like a regular prom with dancing and spiked punch and stuff.  It was just a bunch of kids with Spock ears hanging around playing Vulcan chess.

DJ 3000′: AH.  EVEN SO, THAT SOUNDS MORE INTERESTING THAN STUDYING.

HUNTER RENFROW: Yeah, I ended up doing really well on my social studies test so I figured my grades could really benefit from me showing up here a bit early and do some homework.  But this stuff can be a little dull.

HUNTER RENFROW closes the textbook and lifts it up to display it to DJ 3000’…

…but something slips out from between the pages and falls onto the couch.

DJ 3000′: HEY! YOU WEREN’T SLEEPY BECAUSE YOU WERE BORED, YOU WERE SLEEPY BECAUSE YOU STAYED UP HALF THE NIGHT READING ABOUT FANTASY FOOTBALL!

HUNTER RENFROW: All right, all right, guilty as charged.  I just really want to win the A/V League this year and I’m trying to figure out which of the rookies are going to be worth picking up.

DJ 3000′: YOU DON’T NEED TO STAY UP ALL NIGHT TO FIGURE THAT OUT, JUST TAKE ASHTON JEANTY. IT’S A NO-BRAINER.

HUNTER RENFROW: Sure, but I’m worried that after a year of Pete Carroll running him into the ground he’s going to be the one lacking a functional brain. And it’s a keeper league.

DJ 3000′: FAIR POINT. AND YOU PROBABLY DON’T WANT MY FANTASY ADVICE ANYWAYS; I’M WORKING WITH THE SAME DATA SET THAT THE YAHOO BOT USES AND WE’VE ALL SEEN HOW HER GRADES TEND TO PAN OUT.  WE SHOULD GET ROLLING ON THE SHOW THOUGH, IT’S ALMOST TIME TO GO TO AIR.  HAVE YOU GOT A TOPIC?

HUNTER RENFROW: Actually, yeah.  I was watching Shedeur Sanders in the green room last night as his hopes and dreams got ripped apart and thought that might make a decent topic.

DJ 3000′: HEY, NOT BAD.

HUNTER RENFROW: So I thought we could do songs about things getting shredded, unraveled, et cetera.  And I figured we could get started with some classic early Weezer.

DJ 3000′: SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN.  I’LL CUE IT UP.

Today’s theme is “To Shreds, You Say”.  We’re looking for songs about things that are ripped, torn, shredded, shattered, etc.  Please post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4tAL!3i” and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Jet” by Wings was solved by BeefRiverLives (again, my apologies for yanking him and everyone around by initially misidentifying it as an incorrect guess). Let’s tear this thing up!
