The Ruckus 022: The Tough Questions

The Ruckus is back and it’s tired of pussy-footin’ around with all the little mamby-pamblers. This time we get right down to the brass tacks and start asking the tough questions. We’ve decided to just start asking socially inapropriate questions and giving our honest answers. How bad-ass is that? Not bad-ass enough? Well after the questions, we had a knife fight like in the Beat It video. Only instead of knives, we wielded live alligators and instead of dancing around like pansies in the breeze, we punched marines in their noses. Then we went out and picked up heavy things and put them back down again!

For episode 22 The Ruckus bench pressed ten reps of three hundy while listening to: Shari Elf – Jerk-a-lator off of the album: I’m Forcing Goodness Upon You.

The Ruckus 021: Hairy Women

Hey, The Ruckus didn’t disapear, it just got really damn lazy. But we’re back and better then ever. We’ve added the exciting and amazing Ask A Scientist portion to the program. We’re also up to our typical jibber jabber when we tell you all about an Italian nun pageant, the fast Japanese internet and a whole lot of what we’ve been up to in Portland, including a little musical musing on the Monsters of Accordian tour.

This extra special episode of The Ruckus is jam-packed with music with not one, but two special guests.

First from Japan, we bring you the musical stylings of the beautiful and talented Miss Kawa with her song, London (wow I’ve named like 17 different locations in this post, what a worldly episode) You can check her out at: http://www.myspace.com/misskawamisskawa

And then we give you a little musical snipet from the insanely talented Mark Growden (of San Francisco) who you can check out (and download) at: http://www.myspace.com/markgrowden

The Ruckus 019: Hellboy II

After receiving celebrity endorsements from both Ron Pearlman and his assistant, we felt obligated to do a Ruckus episode where we give a completely unbiased review on the most recent Hellboy movie. Listen in as Rachael and Justin discuss the finer points of what makes an action movie succesful and what’s the matter with George Lucas anyways? We also reveal our feelings on some of the upcoming summer blockbusters such as The Dark Knight and Quarantine. Oh and also we tell you in passing why Wanted was so horrible.
