Dream Waves: The Best Of Audio Assault, Vol. 1

If you’re new to Audio Assault, or you have friends that are new to Audio Assault, this is the place to start. The award-winning first three seasons, condensed into one power hour of non stop riffage and awkward silences.

Audio Assault #37: Black Swan Time Machine

An episode about Radiohead, the Oscars, and Jeremy Clymer’s disappeared Twitter account.

Audio Assault #35: Iron Holiday

It’s the Season 2 finale of Audio Assault! Oswald drinks wine, Jere talks football, and special guest Eddie Martinez finally makes concrete the connection between cat owners and transsexuals. All in all, it’s an average night for the gang at Assault HQ but a fucking spectacular one for you.

Audio Assault #19: The URL Of Your Grandfather’s Blog

In this amazingly tight and concise episode of Audio Assault, which does not go over time and features all of the hosts staying completely on topic for the entire duration, Oswald is joined by Dr. Joe Gibson and Chicago scenester Todd Abbott. The guys discuss, in no particular order: Orny Adams, Teen Wolf, prom, Joe’s height, Todd’s vegetarian agenda, Taco Bell, chocolate milk shakes, hipsters in Chicago, the pros and cons of blogging, Facebook, more Orny Adams, Kanye West, Joe’s library, cassette tapes, Woodstock ’94, time zones, the concept of time itself, IMBD message boards, Dexter, and Picks & Dicks.

Twitter is fun and easy, bro. It’s far better than Facebook or MySpace because it’s super-interactive and you don’t have to listen to the details of anyone’s pathetic life story.

I understand MySpace has always been a necessary evil, but when it comes to actually getting a decent return on investment from [...]

Why Twitter Followers are Worthless

It’s not too often I get an email from Twitter telling me I have a new person with a high follower count following me. When they do, I tend to look into what they’re all about on their profile. 9/10 times it’s someone who follows twice as many people as they have following them. 10/10 times said person is a “social media power user”.
