The world of metal has lost its grandfather this week with the passing of Dio and his metal horns hand gesture. What's the best way to pay tribute to such a voice? With the D, of course:
Another topic near and dear to our hearts this week was the unfortunate (but not unexpected) cancellation of the Heroes televised drama broadcast serial. Not much more can be expressed but the eternal blue balls of geeks everywhere who never truly got the all out Peter/Sylar fight to end all fights on the show, so I pay tribute with a nu-metal cover of Snap's I've Got The Power:
Replacing Heroes on the schedule for NBC this fall is the Cape, a surprisingly similar superhero show that seems to play fast with costumes and special effects, something Heroes might have lacked. I want to hate it for ending my favorite show of the last 3 years, but I just can't. Here's a preview:
On the other hand, I can hate NBC's newest sitcom, "Outsource," using the hilarious premise of focusing on jobs being outsourced to India.

And to close the shownotes for episode 311, where we were sure to take it down down down, I give you a live performance mentioned during the episode by the band Chemlab. Of course I must add some disclaimers: it's filmed from the audience by a fan, so it's not the best sound or video quality. And also the lead singer may or may not be cosplaying as a blackface Ric Flair.
