Its Not You, Its Me.

Its time for the Erstwhile Intruder to take a break; time for this old bear to retreat to a snowy den to hibernate for the rest of the winter. Except it will be the exact opposite of that. Replace "snowy den" with "sunny beach," and "hibernate" with "enjoy a sunny beach," and you've got a more clear picture.

But fear not listless listeners! There is a truckload of bonus material that will find its way to the website in a gradual "trickle down" like system. I will add and update just as often as I can, breathing continuous life into the EIRProject.  It will be just like old times!

A new poll to keep you satisfied! Vote early and vote often. Also, keep your eye on the Ever-Changing Picture, as it has a tendancy to change... every once in a while.

EIRP 08: Furious George Guest Edition

Behold, the EIRP:FGGE! Through the magicks of "telephone" I was able to link my friend Furious George into the world of EIRP. Feature a playlist entirely selected by he, and insightful commentary, the EIRP:FGGE could be the best yet. In fact, Furious compells anyone else to create a better playlist than the one he has provided. Post up if you'd like to try. I believe someone out there can do it, Furious does not.

EIRP 07: Cheesy Hot Country Music Wrapped In A Warm And Flakey Dance Party!

The 7th installment of the Erstwhile Intruder Radio Program is alive and well, and available for YOU my friend! Don't be dismayed, daunted by the title of this week's show, it is surely a winner. Though I can't say it is better than the metal show. The metal show will be the EIRP de triumph for a long time to come. Or at least until I do the All MF DOOM All B-Side Smashing Two Parter. Which will be soon, but not so soon before I pull off Furious George's guest show which will be next.

I can't believe it has been 7 episodes already, did you ever dream we'd make it this far baby? 7, we'll always remember 7. My goal is to have 24 EIRP's before I leave for the land of warm milk and cold honey. That will never happen, but I will try.

So enjoy the episode, OH, and check it, the EIRP contest is officially ON.

Sometimes when you stream it from here it gets cut off. I have no idea why. If you have this problem, you can go to the host site and stream it directly from there. I haven't had any problems with that Hosted HERE on archive.org

Erstwhile Intruder Radio Program Heavy Metal Spectacular

YES! The EIRPHMS is here. The HMS is my favorite EIRP so far, I can't stop listening to it, and its not even because I love the sound of my own voice! The mix of songs on this episode is perfect if the Erstwhile Intruder does say so himself. The Erstwhile Intruder can never decide between writing in first or third person, so I will just arbitrarily switch between the two, he said.

You may have noticed a change in style with the introductory ramblements. This is because, yes, the Erstwhile Intruder has written and read from a script for this episode. I wanted to give each metal band the credit they deserved since I knew I wasn't going to be speaking between songs. But don't worry, next episode will be chock full of akward pauses and senseless metaphors. I model my on-air style after my "podcasting" hero, Cecil "The Duke of Dead Air" Portesque from TMBG.COM

Also, as noted in the intro, Danzig appears, marking the first repeat artist in an EIRP, it could be argued that since the EIRPHMS is a special show, it doesn't technically count, but regardless, consider the floodgates open.

If you don't like Metal, I emplore you to listen to the EIRPHMS anyway, it will make you cool. It is designed so as not to alienate the casual listener, but it is also abrasive enough to satisfy even the most masochistic of ear drums. So, here's the goods:

EIRP 05

The Erstwhile Intruder is whipping through these. The EIRP 05 is an all rock show to compliment last episode's hip-hop show. Good stuff.

Things to come: EI got an all metal show pretty much set to go pretty soon, no words, no nothin, just metal. Also, Furious George has tracked a guest show that will be recorded pretty soon. And thirdly, I have a show coming up that can be described as country music wrapped in a dance party.

Here's the goods:

Stream it from archive


P.S. Sometimes archive is super goddam slow, so if it doesn't download try to stream it, or come back later.

I've decided to include the direct links to my archive site too, just in case people are REALLY having trouble getting the show to work:
