You have to finance your HDMI cables. In light of the online casinolitigious nature of the monster company in question, I’m not sure if I really want to finance anything through them… or through anyone associated with them. You know, now that I think of it, thank God they called jumbo loans “jumbo” and not “monster” or 1/2 of all that bailout money would be going for legal fees.

Thanks to listener Rick who sent me this picture like a million years ago.

And here I was not even knowing there was a code. I just skimmed the articles (there are a few if you follow the links) but you can get the full skinny on ARS. Apparently those graphics before each commercial indicate a letter. By the end of each episode, it spells a word. These words don’t work together create sentences, however, they just plug into the theme (mostly) of each episode. Personally, I downloaded the graphic just so I could probably not ever use it but whatever. I just wish the messages were less lame. One word? Seriously? All that work for a stupid word? There should be a secret revealed over the course of the season. Like “J.J. Abrams is a douchebag” or “Anna Torv only has one expression – sickly worry.” We all know they’ve only had about seven good plots and they just redo them over and over (she’s going into the tank again)?!? Maybe they’ll make better use of it next season. Probably not, though.

One more time with feeling. The listenership seems pretty split between leaving the music as is and Ted’s Disdress offering. One listener took up the challenge to send in something else. Simon from Denmark sent in a track – Slow Tinker. It’s a little slower tempo but the quality is very high. Please, make sure you listen longer than a few seconds before you vote. Both these songs have many different parts that I can sample for the podcast. If you like a particular section, let me know below. Vote for your favorite in the poll on the right.

There is so little really unique music out there that it is great to stumble across something truly original. J sent this to me. A pianist, a beat boxer, and a guitar? That’s just a combo I never would have expected. But somehow it works. I just wish the song had a different name.

Listener Ted doesn’t like the AV Rant music. He’s not the only one. Unlike the rest, however, he’s done something about it. Ted has sent me a few low res songs for possible use for the podcast. Listen at your leisure below and then vote in the poll on your right.
