ExplicitReturn Of The Living Blend | Social Blend has returned with our 190th episode this week, and we’re joined by Hunter Camp aka MK2Fac3 from GeeksOfDoom.com, Mark Carras from RockMyMonkey.com, and Terr Ciavarra aka MediaNox. It’s a big show, as we kick off focusing on the awesome hilarity that is WhenRickIsPresident.com and the election news in general. But we quickly dispense with the serious political news, as we jump into the entertainment news, looking at the new trailer for the kick-ass and preposterous forthcoming movie, Iron Sky, in which Space Nazis from the Moon attack the Earth! We also discuss the works of Zack Snyder, from Sucker Punch to The Man Of Steel to Watchmen – and while on the Watchmen topic, we weigh in our opinions on the DC prequel comics, Before Watchmen. We take a look at the current issues surrounding online file sharing, among the current climate of ACTA and SOPA, as TheOatmeal releases a comic focusing on the very issue in relation to the Game Of Thrones television series. We also pay tribute to Whitney Houston, who passed away last week, and examine the seedy practice of price gouging her material literally hours after her death. We close out the show with the latest Doctor Who news, a story related to the intellectual property rights of Ghost Rider, as well as our WTF stories of the week, and the Countdown to the Gutsfuck of Humanity. All this and more on this week’s edition of Social Blend! Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from cGt2099.com) and Jay Fowler (SilentJay74 from JuicySnake.com) the Social Blend is a fun, and hard-hitting, podcast, with no respect for rules.

ExplicitTouched By Social Blend: Boston Cream Edition | It’s Social Blend 189, and we’re joined by Mark Carras from RockMyMonkey.com, and Erika Napoletano from RedheadWriting.com. We kick off the show on a lighter note, debating the issue of Bronies vs. Streeters, which somehow evolves into Boston Cream Pies and other innuendo. That aside, we dive into the battle between Komen and Planned Parenthood that has since become a politicized debate on abortion. We also briefly look at some recent Election 2012 news, and witness the c*********k that was Woody Harrelson’s AMA over at Reddit. We continue our coverage of the War of the Internet, this time turning to the spreading backlash against ACTA across Europe, as many notable leaders and their nations begin to stand opposed to the awful treaty. Piracy and Copyright Infringement also enters the discussion further, as we reflect on Neil Young‘s recent remarks. Later, Jay reveals why he’s pissed off at the Nobel Peace Prize folks, and Mark discusses more problems with Metallica. We close out the show with our WTF stories of the week.

ExplicitAlmost Wasn’t Social Blend | The 188th edition of Social Blend (which almost didn’t happen!) features Keith Wagner aka DarkNemesis618 and musician Corey Koehler aka MusicGoat as we kick off looking at Facebook announcing their IPO and the impact of this move for social media. We then take a look at the current Republican race in the run towards Election 2012, which spans out to all kinds of political and social commentary, from unions to education, and from corruption to the vaccination debate. We also condemn and scoff at some of the actions of the “elites” this week: from the demand to have welfare applicants p**s tested, to politicians complaining about being subject to the laws they voted in, and more. We follow up on the latest ACTA and Megaupload news, which leads into a discussion about the recording industry and upcoming bands. Ferris Bueller trolled the internet this week in the lead up to the Superbowl, and we look at Bobcat Goldthwait‘s preview for his new movie, God Bless America. On the topic of movies, we also discuss the upcoming third chapter of the Shaun Of The Dead/Hot Fuzz series, entitled The World’s End. We close out the show with Corey’s new song, “Why Wait“, and also our regular segments, looking at ridiculous “end of the world” stories in the Countdown to the Gutsfuck of Humanity, and our WTF stories of the week.

ExplicitSB 187 – MegaBlend | For Episode 187 of Social Blend, we’re joined by special guest Rick Kelvington, responsible for some excellent Doctor Who and Star Wars mashups on YouTube, as well as mashups of other popular movies. Also joining us are Social Blend regulars geek journalist Tom Cheredar aka Tched from Venture Beat, and musician Terr Ciavarra aka Media Nox. Kicking off the show, we follow-up on the controversy that was SOPA – as the protests died down, the news came out that the Feds had siezed and shut down popular website Megaupload, in strangely coincidintal timing with both the protests and Megaupload’s plans for a new watershed application. And as SOPA and PIPA were shelved, the War on the Internet continued, with eyes turning to the global ACTA agreement and Lamar Smith‘s insidious PCIP Act. Social Blend deconstructs them and gives you a brief overview on these new threats of censorship. Later in the show, we turn to entertainment news, looking at the recent announcement that George Lucas is retiring from filmmaking. Or is he? We also take a look at some awesome videos of young kids bringing the rock and metal on the music front. We close out the show with our regular segments, looking at ridiculous “end of the world” stories in the Countdown to the Gutsfuck of Humanity, and our WTF stories of the week.

Joining us for Craniumelody is our good friend Corey Koehler aka Music Goat. For this episode, each of us have chosen a few songs from 1987, and hopefully some of which you might not have heard before.

For our special Craniumelody, we play some music from Frehley’s Comet, The Cult, Choirboys, Celtic Frost, Rick Astley, Midnight Oil, Grateful Dead, Sonic Youth, Bruce Willis, and KISS. From metal to pop, and from hard rock to early alternative, we become obsessed by some obscure/underrated songs from 1987 that are memorable!

From there, we reflect on the biggest world news events of the year, from the Japanese Tsunami (which generated some of the most breathtaking footage ever taken), to the creepy terror attack in Oslo, to the Global Protests spanning the world, including Occupy Wall Street. We also remember some of the notable folks who passed on during the year. We also jump into the world of entertainment – looking at the movies, music, television, and games of 2011 that we covered and discussed on Social Blend; as well as some of the bigger internet memes that dominated and herp-derped their way to 15 MB of Fame.

ExplicitThe Best Of Social Blend 2011 | Well, DILLIGAF to everyone again, as we close out our fourth year of Social Blend and move into our fifth! Next year will mark 5 years of SB, and we can hardly believe it. But what we do appreciate is the support you all have given us since the beginnings and especially during 2011. So it’s time that we celebrate with THE BEST OF SOCIAL BLEND 2011. This compilation is a collection of the best moments from all of our episodes during 2011, from the ridiculousness to the sobering moments, spanning over 50 episodes. One thing we need to point out: during this year, we lost a loved member of our community at MixxingBowl.com. JeffK aka Janejas passed away in early 2011. He is very much missed, and we pay tribute to him at the very end of the podcast, so listen out for that. Also at the end of this special episode is a preview of the new updated opening theme we will be using for shows next year. We want to give our thanks to everyone who guested on the show during the year; and of course most significantly, and as always, our thanks goes out to YOU: the listeners of Social Blend for staying by our side and checking out the show. You all make this worth the work and energy we put into the show, and we look forward to 2012 (and the end of the world) in becoming a bigger and better year than this one! So here’s the Best of Social Blend in 2011. Rock on! Presented by Greg Davies (cGt2099 from cGt2099.com) and Jay Fowler (SilentJay74 from JuicySnake.com) the Social Blend is a fun, and hard-hitting, podcast, with no respect for rules.
