Introducing...Pilot Season from 2013-08-19T09:00

This is just a short blog post to pass the torch to my new show, premiering next Monday, Pilot Season. It'll have it's own page and all that but I wanted to do an audio pass off on the off chance s...

40.2 No Time for the Void Part 2 (part 2) from 2013-08-12T14:51

Well, this is the end. Yes, I'm OK, yes I still deal with a lot of this, yes I'm proud of DIV, yes something is coming in it's place, no I don't know how to live and be creative, no I don't know ho...

40.1 No Time for the Void Part 2 (Part 1) from 2013-08-07T22:42:06

Well, here is the big crazy ending to Dead Idea Valhalla. I bring as much back as I can. Thanks a lot to Kole for his help with narration and thanks to everyone who listened the first time and wh...

39. The Good Waifu from 2013-07-22T16:07

Starting off with some classic hate in this penultimate episode. After that, I talk about pets for a while, including a sad story about my lil buddy Poet. Then a song from my Master Wrench album c...

38. Future Furist Grandpa from 2013-07-16T13:59

Some fun talk about table top gaming culture, all about the time I met Beard Mountain during a formative college class. Including, appropriately enough, my fessing up to being grossed out by furrie...

37. The Behaunter in the Lobby Station from 2013-07-08T15:35

A very special Halloween episode! I hope you like it! A personal favorite of mine. After some talk of the holiday in general, I play a Metroids classic. Then an audio play presented for your cons...

36. Like The Wall of a Serial Killer's Apartment from 2013-07-01T14:45

I'm back! At least for a time. Inspired by the bathroom at work, a little bit about urinals and male bathroom ettiquette. Then, a song from the much missed Joystick Joy, a band whose live appearanc...

35.1 I Think I Need a New Heart from 2013-06-24T14:03:29

All right, all right. This is just the apology/retraction/revision of my quittin' episode. Like I said before, we're nearing the end but we've got a few great episodes coming up as well as some sor...

35. No Time for the Void (part 1) from 2013-06-17T12:52

It's the beginning of the end! You know the drill: I think I was being a bit of a whiney baby but I was also in a disolving marriage and they were real feelings I was having, so fuck it! There are ...

34. The Morelax from 2013-06-03T12:41

Here it is! The last episode before I go crazy and talk about quitting the show. From a more well adjusted place, these episodes seem sort of embarrassing. But this is a good fun time. We start o...

33. All Kinds of Dinners from 2013-05-27T12:36

Games! Gamers! I like it, sure, but it's also disgusting! Listen in! Then a song from The Midnite Snax, a little number called At All that I've always been real fond of. I close out this episode ...

32. Insert Six Punch-Bucks from 2013-05-20T12:31

amers!

31. Greece, the land of Milkhoney, Sodomy Pots and Rome from 2013-05-13T14:15

Here it is, the entire Dungeon Mister saga! Based on... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8LBpMuSTrQ One of my all time favorite things ever. Not too much to say about this, but I'm a big fan.

30. Scurvy Curves from 2013-05-06T12:08

This is a goooood ep. The first half, a little bit about my job history contains some fun stories and some awful ones. The middle song, a number called Don't No, comes from a little EP I like qu...

29. The Constant Death of Regular Humans from 2013-04-29T09:00

The first bit is something I'm not totally into anymore! I do think it's silly to mourn celebrities, for the most part, but I also realize it's very unkind. If I did this again, I might tone it dow...

28. And They Called Him Demolition Man... from 2013-04-25T02:02:16

The first segment is a tirade about weather that's pretty uninspired, I admit! But it gets better! The song in the middle is from The Midnite Snax, my 2nd rock band in my home town, and a song fro...

27. Sex Copse from 2013-04-15T12:21

The Sex Trillogy Concludes! Though I guess I talk about sex quite a bit. First, the Tiny Beings Errata, with the fakey Stan Lee voice, who I called Granny Guzzlin' Gary, which is fucking disgusting...

26. Shirts for Uncles from 2013-04-08T12:21

Part two of the sex trillogy. Fun little bit in the first half, in the guise of fake deleted scenes. Nothing much to say. In the middle: one of the saddest songs I think I've ever done. Then some...

25. Sex and the Mud Duck from 2013-04-01T12:00

It's the 25th Episode Spectacular! A bit about father's day, sex, and the awakening of sports appreciation in me. Then a song from my Master Wrench record. Finally, a return of the Dinobite, this...

24. Skateboard for Legs! from 2013-03-25T12:00

ne of my all time favorites. 

23. Fragments from 2013-03-18T13:00

So, "The Slender-Rap is definitely a little embarassing. But yeah, I love the idea of abject evil being more annoying than anything. The song in the middle is an unsung favorite of mine from the M...

Dead Idea Valhalla Neo Tokyo Ep.1 from 2013-03-11T13:00

I know it's bad form to end on a cliff hanger but consider this a sorbet between thrilling episodes of your regularly scheduled program. I've been threatening forever and here it is. New Dead Idea ...

22. Emerald Wasps from 2013-03-04T13:00

First up, I love this pair of episodes. This catchy little bit in the first part is improvised, one of the few times having a keybaord right next to me worked out. Watch out for hints in this first...

21. Hitting Me is Like Climbing a Mountain from 2013-02-25T13:00

Lots to like here! I love this pair of episodes, I like this weird direction for the show. First off, the season 2 theme music, which I really enjoy. The music episode I mention is the first episo...

20. Book Boy Rides Again (Season Finale!) from 2013-02-18T13:00

Just listen to that throat clear! It was so perfect I had to use it! Why do I always want to organize things in seasons? I talk about it a little bit here but it doesn't make much sense. Still, th...

19. Benie Mac's All Seeing Eyes from 2013-02-12T01:36:24

Listen to that sad sackery in the beginning! Also, get your lips away from that microphone, past me! Ugh! A little bit about the separation of art and artist, name checking both Lovecraft and Scot...

18. How Can I Concentrate on these Mashed Potatoes!? from 2013-02-04T13:00

Good god! The mouth noises! A lot of these observations about college hold up in light of my recent experiences with that institution. Hell is other people and a lot of the time, I'm in a constan...

17. Rich Creamy Vein from 2013-01-28T12:00

This is a defeated man right here. At this time, my mother had suffered a series of heart attacks. I didn't have enough energy to do a whole big thing, thus the lazy first part of this. Not lazy, I...

16. Just More Kung Fun from 2013-01-21T10:32

I'm a pretty big fan of this episode! Some ear wormy nonsense about "houses" in the beginning, a little bit called You Know What I Fuckin' Hate? that was going to be a recurring segment but never g...

15. Pestomancer from 2013-01-14T13:27

I'm balancing some serious and some silly here. The first part is me recounting my experience with the NIU School Shooting a few years back, both in story form and in a song I wrote about it. I ex...

14. Butterfly Porkchop from 2013-01-08T04:35:55

Probably a below average episode. The first half has a little pop screen nonsense and then something that can't really be construed as anything other than agism. But you know, ehhhhhh. The song is...

13. A Touch of Gray from 2012-12-31T13:00

This is one of my favorite things I've ever done. My favorite things I ever did with the show were to fuck with the show. This, the Slenderman arc in the beginning of season 2, the finale, all stuf...

12. When Taints Misbehave from 2012-12-28T02:11

Fun episode! As a porn enthusiast, I notice a lot of things about it. Like how it's god damned ridiculous. The first part is about that. I threw in a song from my song-a-day project from February...

11. Songs One from 2012-12-17T09:00

An unconventional episode in which I play a bunch of songs.

10. Greasy Tasty from 2012-12-10T13:00

There are only a couple episodes I think are relatively uninspired and this is one of them. Why didn't I title this episode starchy wad? Anyway, I'm not crazy about the first half of this episode. ...

9. Parenting from 2012-12-03T13:00

The end bit is probably why this episode is so well thought of. It's one of the first really produced things I've done, it introduces a character I'd go on to use, and it's batshit insanity was at ...

8. Noisily Devouring a Still Beating Human Heart from 2012-11-26T13:00

Positivity, rap, and commissioned songs.

7. El Debarge with Bears from 2012-11-19T13:00

The first part contains some whining, complaining and ranting. The song in the middle is something I'm pretty proud of and that I'm unable to remember how to play, which is ridiculous, but it's tr...

6: Dippy Crust No No from 2012-11-12T03:06:51

And here's the second part of my probably very cruel animalization of homeless people. I wonder if history will judge me harshly? It doesn't matter though when we have such delightful treats. Bray...

5: The Bindle Suite from 2012-11-05T13:01

Original Fiction: The Pathetic Fallacy from 2012-10-31T10:38

Hello! Here is a special Halloween surprise: a dramatic reading of a piece of fiction I did for [Insomnia Press][1]. Sorry about the interuption to the regular feed. DIV syndication will continue...

Coming Halloween: A Special Dramatic Reading from 2012-10-30T00:12:23

4: The Tyranny of Literacy from 2012-10-22T12:00

3: Gay Little Milano Cookie from 2012-10-15T12:00

This is when I started sort of putting episodes together with themes in mind. It's also the first time I recorded a song specifically for the episode. Think about how labor intensive that is!

2: I Walk Away and I Strumbo from 2012-10-08T12:00

Episode 2 is where things take off, I think. A lot of things that make the show what it is first show up here. Repurposing editing mistakes, lists, improvised conversations and my pitch perfect Mac...

1: The Extinction of the Dinocast from 2012-10-01T14:35

This is it! The first episode of Dead Idea Valhalla! It's mostly about the end of my previous show (found at www.garybutterfield.net) and about this whole "Keep Portland Weird" nonsense.

Episode Zero: Mostly About My Breasts from 2012-09-24T12:00

Just what is Dead Idea Valhalla? Well, this episode is designed to tell you just that! Don't be so god damned impatient. Back to the desk in the back, Sherman. Just kidding. It's a comedy/therapy/m...
