Insomnia Radio #156: Blackbelt

June 8, 2008
Written by Charles Stepczyk

Ninja AcademyAfter Stuart’s 45 minute in-flight entertainment programming, our plane touches down in the Far East… well… far enough east – New Jersey. We begin our journey diving fist first into the action with Union City multi-instrumentalist, Thirst for Hunger.

You’ll find that today’s episode has quite a bit of an obvious martial arts flair, and it takes us to some unrelated locations like Ireland, Canada, and throughout the States. We ultimately end up on the West Coast in Santa Barbara, CA, where we close out on a mellow meditative note with up-and-coming singer/songwriter Crosby Loggins.

We hope you enjoy the exclusives, classic Kung Fu/Ninjitsu dialogue, and a full hour long ride through a theatrically charged show featuring some of the best music being released worldwide, as well as the corniest cinematic dialogue we could get our hands on. Enjoy, and as always, please support the artists within.

    I freakin love the intro to this episode!!

    What a great episode, I loved every track and the interludes were awesome. :) Time to [add to cart]!

    That was a brilliantly executed intro, and a definite “repeat listening” episode. I’ve produced some quality episodes in my time, but this one has to rate in my top 10 from any producer. Really well done Charles. You have such a great ear for quality…

    I agree – it’s already had a couple of listens from me. Definitely one of my all time favourites. Great work!

    Thanks! Prepare to be deluged with 40-50 mixed music festival tracks over the next several days.

    Bravo! Living here in Chiner…I LOVE the Gung Fu references. In fact, if you ever get the opportunity to buy some Bruce Lee flicks with the original sound and subtitles…the movies actually have really good plots and subplots and make sense! Ha!

    Keep ‘em Comin’!

    BTW…Thanks to all for the Daily Dose…it is the Daily medication. ;-)

Got something to say?
