Duckfeed Presents

This man is one shower away from being a lucky boy. For some reason, at this point, I thought the overwhelming negativity of my podcast and personality was a bug, not a feature, so I needed to talk about something positive. That's where this comes from. In the middle, I have a song from my rap group, HWP, and it's definitely the high water mark of that band. That was a partnership with my very fun...

Feeling Brave Tonight? One of my all time favorites. 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 true. The real meat though, is the end bit, an extended reference to this. I enlisted some friends to work on this segment, which would eventually becomi...

When he gets up, there's going to be a big pile of Hobo Grease. 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. Brayton is back with his performance as Dr. Brace Grodin. We've got my favorite song by my band The Midnite Snax and we have yet another fakey i...

Pre suitcase technology Here we have several firsts for Dead Idea Valhalla. In the first half, we have my first guest spot with my very funny friend Brayton playing a noted Hobologist. (his voice is a dead on ringer for ST Joshi ) This interview is continued in the next episode, making this the first two part segment. The 2nd segment has the return of two characters from my former podcasting life...

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

Looks innocent but know that only misery lives here. Merry Christmas! I arranged a Christmas version of the song! This show was weekly! I don't want to sound like I'm tooting my own horn or to belabor the point but man, the time this thing would take, I tells ya. It's almost as if someone making it wouldn't have time for healthy relationships! This marks the beginning of the "around a half hour" l...

Will they discover the secret of the scepter? Here's the third episode, ya mugs! Controversial! 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! The back half of this remains one of my favorite things I've ever done and it's the first time I've done an audi...

FUCKING FERAL. 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 Macy Gray impersonation. A coworker once got ahold of the podcast and said, "What the fuck do you have against Mariah Carey?" True story. I've got nothing against Macy Gray. I just happen to...

Never fear! The Cosmic Fool is here! This is it! The beginning! The first episode of Dead Idea Valhalla! Me, being who I am, created the beginning of a new show by focusing on the past. The beginning features a lengthy treatise on the end of the Dinocast as well as an unreleased song from my band, The Metroids. Afterwards, we really get into the meat of the show with a bit of railing against this...

GRAPES! WHERE ARE MY GRAPES! Here it is! Hello! You in the back, skootch closer. Don't be shy. This is the first episode on Dead Idea Valhalla to appear on the Duckfeed flock of podcasts. My name is Gary Butterfield and you probably know me as one half of Watch Out For Fireballs! In addition to WOFF! I do a whole shit ton of other stuff, including a wealth of past tense podcastery. That stuff live...
