This week I interview Ben Carey, one of the two genii (Geniuses?) behind Benrik.

"Benrik Limited is the corporate lovechild of Ben Carey and Henrik Delehag, and the outlet for their creative ideas and general outpourings.

Benrik's mission is to introduce a welcome element of branded anarchy into our predictable lives. Benrik's books are thus instruction manuals for warped living."

Today on the show we talk about some utterly insane man who hooks electrodes up unto his face. And then uses it as a music visualiser. Madness, I say!

Next, I rant for a bit about shitty music shops and the staff in them.

Then, we have some crazy cops who allegedly ATTACKED AND SODOMIZED some man who was alledegly smoking pot.

Then... VFTQ brings you a NEVER BEFORE HEARD trailer for the upcoming Saw 19! Yay!
