Hi, everyone!
The Podcast is taking a quick holiday break this week, due to a combination of my being away for Christmas visiting family, and the upcoming move to Washington, DC. Yes, we are relocating Vully Bully Ranch to somewhere in the DC area, and it will be happening after the 1st of the year.
RADIO FREE CRUZE ONLINE will continue to be updated each day, and the podcast will continue as well, although the schedule will be a little more erratic for the next few weeks until I get settled.
Expect a new podcast for next week (after Christmas, before New Year's), and in fact it may actually be posted by Friday the 29th.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah to everyone, and have a great holiday wherever you are.
Love from Vully Bully Ranch...

Happy Holidays everybody!!! It's Christmas week, and things are even crazier than usual here at Vully Bully Ranch!
Things are changing just a bit for the Lovely Nadia and me...I talk about it on the show, and it's part of the reason that we missed a week of the show last week for the first time since we launched the podcast. Sorry to miss, but it was unavoidable!
We're back with a vengeance this week, however, and it feels great to be back! Not quite as much stuff crammed into this show, so there's lots of music, and several really cool holiday tunes!
Here is what we have in store for you this week:
So, lots of music! Please enjoy, and be sure to check out RADIO FREE CRUZE ONLINE, as we do something special on Christmas Eve. It's called the RADIO FREE CRUZE "Holiday Ho-Down," and it's a Free-Form Christmas Eve. Everything from Frank Sinatra to Frank Zappa, but all Holiday Music. It's all day Christmas Eve, and only at RADIO FREE CRUZE ONLINE.
Happy Holidays, everyone!

Welcome to show #69!! (Insert sophomoric joke here...) I do have a sophomoric topic...
Who would have thought we would ever have a chance to view Britney Spears' "private regions?" And who would have thought that it would be as much of a letdown as it was? If haven't seen the photos, and you really must, click here ...but don't say I didn't warn you. You will wish you hadn't. Some things are just better left to the imagination.
Fortunately, as disturbing as that is, we do have some really incredible music on this week's show, and it's not disturbing at all. In fact, these tracks are just downright AWESOME...
Giant Brian is back on this week's show, although his HEADLINES are a week old...and check out the TV Clicker Quiz...
Have a great week, everybody...and be sure to check out RADIO FREE CRUZE ONLINE!!!

Welcome to the show!! At least one serious segment this week, as I read a great article this week in the current issue of DETAILS magazine about GENERATION X, and it really got me thinking about how not only did GEN X sell out...pretty much EVERY generation sells out. Our favorite artists sell out. It's just a fact of life. And maybe it's not such a bad thing...but don't be too quick to judge the GEN X'ers...your generation will sell out too. Or maybe it already has!
We DO feature seven really strong tracks from bands that have NOT sold out, at least not yet. Give them time...
Speaking of magazines, Britan's "Q" Magazine has named what their writers and editors believe is the TOP 20 POP SONGS OF THE LAST 20 YEARS. See if you agree, and email me your thoughts at cruze@radiofreecruze.com.
And, although we've already done a Video of the Month for November, I couldn't pass up the chance to link you to THIS. It's a very cool music video treatment that somebody did for the OUTKAST song "Hey Ya." The video footage, though, is all taken from the classic Christmas Special "It's a Charlie Brown Christmas." I grew up watching these things every Holiday season, so I absolutely love this... CLICK HERE to check it out...
Thank you guys so much for downloading the show, and for checking out RADIO FREE CRUZE ONLINE. Your support has been so overwhelming!! Please let me know what you think of the show and the station, and any suggestions you have...I really appreciate the feedback!
Have a great week!

Welcome to show #67!! That line of dialogue from BILL MURRAY in GHOSTBUSTERS has always been one of my favorite movie clips...and now there's a story that indicates that DOGS and CATS may not only be living together, but SLEEPING TOGETHER, just like MAX and FLUFFY here:
So a woman in Brazil claims that her CAT gave birth to 3 PUPPIES, along with 3 KITTENS. A pretty amazing story, especially if it's true. The DNA results are still out...but I'm sure MAURY POVICH will do a show about it...
Here is the list of AMAZING MUSIC on this week's show...

Welcome to show #66...and it's right up my alley, with an ALIEN THEME!!! I love anybody who is wacky enough to talk about Alien Invasion!! Who knows...this guy could be right!!! I hope it's like the DESTROY ALL HUMANS video game, if it happens...
The RADIO FREE CRUZE "VIDEO OF THE MONTH" is one I'm actually not proud to say that I find hilarious. I really shouldn't find this funny, but I can't help it...I laugh my ass off every time I watch this, so here you go. Yes, we have sunk to new lows by featuring a JERRY SPRINGER clip as the VIDEO OF THE MONTH, but we're not proud. So we "not proudly" present...the VOTM..."MIDGET FIGHT!!!"
Enjoy the VOTM, and enjoy this week's show. Please be sure to check out RADIO FREE CRUZE ONLINE...our 24-hour Indie, New Rock, and Alternative Music Radio Station on the internet!! It's damn cool!!!

And here are the tracks for this week:
I mention in the show how much I like reading BLACK LAB's blog on their MySpace Page. You can find their page HERE, and just click on the blog and read back a few entries. Just heart-rending...the true emotions and feelings of a band of guys trying to figure out where they fit in to the music scene these days. As far as I'm concerned, I don't care WHERE they fit, just as long as they keep making music that's as awesome as RIVER OF JOY.
Hey, be sure to check out THE GIANT SHOW at www.giantbrian.com. It's very funny stuff, and one of my favorite listens every week!
I'll see you next week for show #66!!!!

Sorry this entry posted late! The podcast was on time, but there was some kind of problem with Moveable Type and the blog server that kept me from posting this entry when the show was done!
This episode reveals the answer to what PARIS HILTON likes better than sex! As if we actually believe anything this girl says...
There's also great music! Check these tracks out...

Well, welcome to the closest thing we'll have this year to a HALLOWEEN SHOW! I did a full-fledged Halloween Edition last year, but since this is being posted 6 days before Halloween, I'm just not quite in the spirit of playing ALL Halloween music. I DO play a really cool song CALLED "Halloween," as well as a BAND called "Halloween, Alaska.." Here are the tracks from this show:
I'll tell you, if there's one thing that pisses me off, it's an Indie Snob. I will never understand why people can't be content to like what they like, and let everyone else like what THEY like. I get a little worked up on this episode of the show over an email from some guy who calls himself BSlap221. I probably should learn to just let stuff like this go, but here I am ranting and raving. My apologies...
I think the music is SO GOOD, though, that it makes the whole show worth it. And GIANT BRIAN is back with his HEADLINES WITH THE GIANT feature. The Headlines are lifted right out of his excellent GIANT SHOW, which you can download for free by clicking HERE.
I'd love your feedback on the SCARY MOVIE POLL that I reveal the results of on this show. Do you agree with the concensus for "Scariest Movie Scene Of All Time?" If not, I'd love to hear what YOU think should have been number one!! Email me at cruze@radiofreecruze.com
By the way, if you are a band or musician, and you'd like to submit something to be played on the Show and Station, email it to cruze@radiofreecruze.com. If you want to send a hard copy, email me and I'll forward the address!
Have a great week, my friends. And yes, you too, BSlap221.

This month's VIDEO OF THE MONTH is amazing. You may have already seen it, but just in case, we're proud to announce that the RADIO FREE CRUZE VIDEO OF THE MONTH for October is "BATTLE OF THE ALBUM COVERS" ...and it's awesome!!
I didn't have time to get to the story on this week's show about why DICK CHENEY wants to arrest me. I will share that next week...
Have a great week, and be sure to check out RADIO FREE CRUZE ONLINE...it's really cool!

OK, so...thank God I don't live in Poland! If so, the authorities would be looking for me just from the content of this Podcast! Apparently, according to THIS STORY, you can be arrested in Poland just for expressing your feelings about the President. Especially if that expression is in the form of what The Urban Dictionary describes as "a minor explosion between the legs..." Although I'm not in any danger of being put behind bars, I'm afraid I have to admit I couldn't resist the obvious joke here. I hope you guys will forgive me...it seemed funny at the time. Actually, it still does. I'm such a child...
I think it's a great show this week...although you won't believe what that Giant Moron, Giant Brian did to me. Listen to the show and you'll see!
Here is this week's list of tunes:
Don't forget to check out RADIO FREE CRUZE ONLINE...I'm really proud of how the station is growing, and how it's sounding these days! MUSE will be the featured artist on THURSDAY 10/5!
Have a Great Week!

So...did it really happen? Did FOX-TV not catch the "F-BOMB" in last Sunday Night's edition of THE FAMILY GUY? Bloggers are reporting that this clip aired on the East Coast of the US, although that is being called a hoax or a viral marketing campaign by other reports. Here's the clip...check it out for yourself...
GIANT BRIAN is back from his extended summer holiday with a new GIANT SHOW. Unfortunately, he must have been drinking heavily all summer, because he didn't remember how to attach a file to his email, and didn't send me HEADLINES WITH THE GIANT for this episode like he was supposed to. Maybe I'll buy him EMAIL FOR DUMMIES and he can get it to me for next week...
Here is the track listing for show #59...

Well, welcome to the latest edition of the RFC. It's a really odd show...I'm not sure why I was in such a weird mood when it was being recorded. Maybe it's because I'm so excited about the new weird creature that has been discovered in Russia!! Check out this picture...it's not a crocodile, and not a fish. I don't know what it is, but it looks pretty creepy and cool to me. If you want to check out the story and all the pics (20 or so of them), CLICK HERE...

Hey, everybody...I'm headed for a week's vacation, and may not update this fully until I return. Here's the photo of Travolta kissing a guy:
And here's the list of songs from show #56. I will update the links when I return, I promise!
So...would you interrupt sex to answer the cell phone? I talk on the show about a new study that says ONE in FIVE of us would! I think that's a load of crap, but I put out the call for you guys to let me know if you would do it, and we'll do our own unofficial poll. You can drop me an email, or just add a comment by clicking on "comments" below. Please participate!
Finally...I mention a new dramatic, or "podiobook" podcast on this show that is where the MUNK song we play on this episode comes from. It's called SHADOW FALLS, and it sounds really good. I have subscribed to it, but as of this blog posting haven't heard the episodes yet. The first three are available, and it's supposed to be a pretty cool sci-fi-type adventure that's in the vein of XFILES. If you want to check it out, here's the PAGE for it.
Okay, I'm going back to the beach now. Enjoy the show!

So, Hello Malta! Beginning this week, with SHOW #55, Radio Free Cruze is now broadcast each week on 93.3 Central FM in Europe, based on the island of Malta.
Malta is, according to Wikipedia, a "densely populated island nation consisting of an archipelago of seven islands in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, which lies directly south of Sicily, east of Tunisia and north of Libya." Here's what it looks like from space:
This is a really cool expansion of the show, and I'm very excited about this new step in the evolution of Radio Free Cruze.
I share a troubling story on this show, from Britan, where a new survey says that although 37% of British teens who are sexually active report that they use condums, a large number of them DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE THEM CORRECTLY! This really gets me angry, because it doesn't need to be that way! With proper sex education, this would be a non-issue, but the neo-conservative political activists keep our school programs hopelessly locked in the sexual dark ages. If they tell teens how to use condums properly, they are afraid teenagers might, (and I know this will shock you) HAVE SEX!!! So they allow them to risk dying instead, like that is somehow better. Let's wise up, please, and not vote for these selfish morons again! Please!!
Meantime, there is a really cool TRU/FLS Challenge, and I share my quick review of both MADDEN NFL '07 for XBOX 360 (I really like it!), and the new movie SNAKES ON A PLANE (I love it!).
Enjoy the show, and make sure to check out RADIO FREE CRUZE ONLINE! It absolutely rocks!!!

Welcome to show #54...where we reveal, from our semi-legitimate sources, that Osama Bin Laden is in love with a Crack Whore! Specifically, a Crack Whore who "...will aaaaalways...love you....ohhh wooooahh!" Yep. That's right. According to a new book by a woman who claims she spent time as the terrorist's sex slave, Osama is in love with none other than Whitney Houston! And somehow, I think they probably deserve each other.
Here are the great tracks on this week's show:
Finally, I'm really proud to post this month's VIDEO OF THE MONTH. It's called "CHAD VADER, DAY SHIFT MANAGER," and it examines the not-so-glamorous life of Darth Vader's "less charismatic" younger brother. It's absolutely hilarious, and I hope you get as much of a kick out of it as I do!
We're just about set to begin rebroadcasting RADIO FREE CRUZE in Europe! Details on that will be coming up in RFC #55, and I will also finally deliver on my promise and post RADIO FREE CRUZE SPECIAL EDITION #2 this week, our in-depth interview and music show with Ruston, Louisisana's SQUINT. Check back here in a few days for that!

Happy One Year Anniversary to RADIO FREE CRUZE! Our first show (which is now out-of-print) was posted on August 14, 2005!
Here are this week's CRITICAL LINKS:
Wow! A year of podcasting! You know, it's interesting...a lot of the first podcasts I started listening to have "podfaded" and are completely gone now. Especially a lot of the music podcasts, for some reason. In any case, I'm incredibly proud that RADIO FREE CRUZE is turning One Year Old. And I'm proud of the music on this show, too...
So I guess you've noticed the picture above of the enormous hole. I know you're expecting a Kirstie Alley joke here, and I do make one on the podcast, for which I immediately apologize. Seriously, though...does this look like something out of REVENGE OF THE JEDI, or what? It's actually a big hole in the ground near a city in Siberia. Notice how small the buildings are in comparison to this thing. The red arrow is pointing to a DUMP TRUCK that's inside the hole on one of the ledges, to give you an idea of the scale of this thing. It's monstrous!!
Does Martha Stewart pimp for cigarettes? And is there really a turd in England that looks just like the Queen Mum? The answers to that kind of soul-searching questions are found in the TRU/FLS Challenge in this episode of the show.
Please enjoy!
