In Which I Solve the Communication Problem

About this time of year, we start seeing the usual “how to handle family conflict” articles appearing everywhere. The good news is that all of them have been rendered completely unnecessary by the election of President Donald Trump. Here is one simple trick that will completely eliminate the desire of anyone, friend or family, to discuss any politics or current events at the dinner table.

All you have to do is to respond to any politically-charged question or even complaint about current events with the following:

“I’m not at all concerned about that. The God-Emperor Trump will solve all our problems and his Second Coming is going to create a new Golden Age thanks to his team of crack innovators and our friends in Russia and China.”

I guarantee no one will even try to discuss politics within earshot of you no matter which side of the political aisle they happen to be. And even in the unlikely event that they actually want to broach the subject of the 47th President of the United States of America with you after that, they’ll soon retreat as soon as you start singing Four More Years.

Hey hey hey nana nay
The Man is back in town!
Hey hey hey nana nay
The second time around!

For bonus points, you can show them the page on Unauthorized where you can play them their choice of SEVEN DIFFERENT MIXES of Four More Years. Better yet, offer to play them all seven!

And yes, as it happens, I am cranking up The Man is Back edition right now. Along with a cup of coffee, it’s a great way to start any day. Let’s enjoy the hopium while we can.

Four More Years, Four More Songs

People are threatening to stage an intervention, but I refuse to even slow the aural assault. After introducing not one, not two, but THREE new editions of FOUR MORE YEARS on last night’s Darkstream, including the specifically-requested Health and Human Services mix in honor of the new appointee, I followed up with what may well be the best edition yet.

We may have to record that one with Booster Patrol in addition to the Storm mix we’re already doing just because the guitars are so amazing. We may put some of them on Spotify and whatnot eventually, but they’re already available for Unauthorized subscribers in the Voxiphonic section.

That’s not all of them, those are just the four new versions. This may seem a little strange, but I’m simply just continuing the old Psykosonik tradition of providing a ludicrous number of remixes of our singles; after our second single, Welcome to My Mind, was released, the singer of a local band called HALO congratulated us on what he thought was our new album, saying that he really liked how we’d gone with what he thought was a themed approach to the CD. But his confusion was justified; about the only similarity between the Anaesthesia mix and the Sonik Bender mix were the lyrics and the choral vocals.

UATV is just getting better and better. Come join the party. Tell me which one is your favorite on SG. And since I forgot the Japanese name of the song, here’s my favorite flute solo that I referenced on the Darkstream as well as the autism study inspired by The Irrational Atheist that was mentioned.

Embrace the Hopium

I’m announcing a video competition for FOUR MORE YEARS (Storm mix). One week, put together the most absurdly triumphalist Trump video for it that you can, send me the links to download them, and I’ll review the entries on the Darkstream and we’ll put it out on YouTube, Rumble, and so forth after announcing the winner on Arkhaven Nights.

We’ll also use clips from those video entries as the basis for a GOD’S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN-style video featuring everyone in the community who is interested in going on camera when the full Booster Patrol version is ready. Sing, play a guitar part, the bass part, the drums, it’s all good. But don’t record yourself with this version, because there will be, at the very least, some minor changes going from the digital world to the analog one.

And when I say “absurdly triumphalist”, this is the sort of thing I’m talking about.

Four More Years and More

We’ve created two new channels on UATV for subscribers. Both are music channels and feature both listenable and downloadable MP3s as well as viewable videos. One is dedicated to Booster Patrol, the other, called Voxiphonik, is comprised of my various AI music experiments in a variety of genres, including A Drink with a Coconut, Seas of Blood, and Four More Years (Bright Future mix). Which, of course, should not be confused with Booster Patrol’s Four More Years (Storm mix). There are only a few songs up there now, but more will be uploaded over the next month.

FOUR MORE YEARS (Storm mix)

I woke up in the morning
In the real America
The sun was shining brightly
The new era had dawned

It felt as if the last four years
Were nothing but a dream
From nightmare to insanity
And nothing in between

Hey hey hey na na nay
The man is back in town
Hey hey hey na na nay
The second time around

Four more four more four more years
Four more four more four more years
This time he’ll do it right
Four more four more four more years
Four more four more four more years
The future’s looking bright

You knew that he was coming back
The man you couldn’t stump
You knew you couldn’t stop him
The man named Donald Trump

You stole four very precious years
And spent them all on war
So now we’re drinking up your tears
We’re coming back for more

Hey hey hey na na nay
The man is back in town
Hey hey hey na na nay
The storm is coming round

Four more four more four more years
Four more four more four more years
This time he’ll do it right, this time he’ll do it right!
Four more four more four more years
Four more four more four more years
The future looks so bright you’re gonna need shades!
Four more four more four more years
Four more four more four more years
This time he’ll do it right, yeah yeah
Four more four more four more years
Four more four more four more years
The future’s looking bright, Hell yeah!

Hey hey hey na na nay
The man is back in town
Hey hey hey na na nay
The second time around
Hey hey hey na na nay
The clowns are going down
Hey hey hey na na nay
The storm is coming round
I said the storm is coming round, yeah!

The GenX Election

This may be the only US Presidential Election that Generation X ever decided. And, even so, we still had to choose between two candidates who weren’t one of us. Let’s face it, most of us would vote for an infant or a corpse over a Boomer. Any Boomer. Except, in this case, the old Boomer was much closer to our values than the young one.

Still don’t like this “Red State” nonsense. Democrats are the Reds.

Megan Fox, a fellow GenXer, attributes our generational hostility for the Surveillance State to our semi-feral childhoods. Which is probably at least partly true. We don’t see what business our employers or government agencies could possibly have poking into our business when our parents couldn’t usually be bothered with it. It’s actually kind of comical when our children are disappointed that we don’t keep closer track of the details of our lives; they have no idea how much more interested we are in them than our parents were in us.

And now we’d very much like to see President Trump transform into God-Emperor Trump and burn the whole Deep State structure down to the ground. If you listen to last night’s Arkhaven Nights, you can hear, not one, but two versions of FOUR MORE YEARS, although listeners should be warned that they contain 100-percent raw hopium.

I woke up in the morning in the Real America
The sun was shining brightly, the dawn of a new era
It felt as if the last four years were nothing but a dream
From nightmare to insanity and nothing in between

Hey hey hey nana nay the man is back in town
Hey hey hey nana nay the second time around

Four more four more four more years
Four more four more four more years
This time he’ll do it right
Four more four more four more years
Four more four more four more years
The future’s looking bright, hell yeah!

I think we’ll have to make a video of the second version. The bass really drives and the guitar solo is epic.

Booster Patrol Goes Pro

If you’re a backer of Booster Patrol, we’ve completed the necessary permissions to get the 10-song e-album out to you. As part of that process, we put some of those songs on Spotify, so if you happen to use that app, you can now fire up some proper boosting on demand now. The available songs are:

  • Possession
  • Don’t You Want Me
  • More Human Than Human
  • God’s Gonna Cut You Down
  • Thought Contagion
  • Wow

That’s pretty much more guitar solos than were recorded in the 1980s, so it should keep you a while. I understand our first original effort may be done soon, which features Rachel on vocals, so you’ve got that to look forward to as well. In case you missed it, there’s now a video for Wow, which is a very boosted cover of the Kylie Minogue song.

In other music news, here’s the first live performance of Babymetal and the two guys from Polyphia playing Brand New Day, which is a really nice and well-written song in the From Dusk Til Dawn vein.

200+ Videos

And that’s on the Legend’s channel alone. If you haven’t resubscribed to UATV yet, this is a good time to do so. The new backend now permits a vastly improved method of uploads for pre-existing videos, which is why there are 20 new videos from The Legend Chuck Dixon available; we should be caught up with his YouTube channel within two weeks.

Why bother subscribing to UATV when you can get a number of the creators on YouTube? Because they’re probably not going to last there much longer. The first big wave of YouTube censorship took out Big Bear, Stefan Molyneux, and me because we were amassing significant numbers of subscribers. The current wave, which is just getting started, is likely going to take out a number of the creators who took our places; sooner or later every right-of-center creator will find himself ejected from SJW Central. That’s why we constructed UATV in the first place.

JDA’s recent ejection from Kickstarter after no less than 10 very successful campaigns there is an object reminder of the absolute need to build and utilize our own platforms. The censorship pogroms come and go in waves, and it is evident that the latest wave of thought-policing is just gathering strength.

In other UATV news, Booster Patrol debuted our new video for WOW! on the Darkstream last night. So 80s, much wow. Sadly, John did not play the guitar solo wearing a pink plastic jumpsuit, as the Stylistic Imperative clearly demanded.

The 80s were 100 percent pure cheese, but they were a LOT more fun. I know. I was there.

Diddy and Biggie

I have succeeded in living my adult life with very limited exposure to any knowledge of Sean Combs. I think I’ve heard parts of four songs in which he was directly involved in some way, which includes the abomination in which he rapes a famous Police song. His complete lack of talent combined with his inexplicable stardom and his ubiquity always made me assume that he was a complete satanic sellout, but the revelation that he was the Black Epstein of hip hop makes me wonder, in retrospect, if Biggie Smalls was the sacrifice he made to ensure his ascent.
