Craig Elsten and Chris Reed are back with one of the longer episodes in show history, because they've got a LOT to say about Squid Game Season 3! SHOW NOTESWelcome/housekeeping/email/5-star reviewsSQUID GAME 3Why is Squid Game the most popular IP in Netflix history?

"Strange Kind Of Paradise" Formed in Leeds at the dawn of the '80s, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry were weaned on the MC5 and Wire, but their brooding melodies and dark and churning instrumentation got them lumped in with the Goth scene. Their 1985 debut Talk About The Weather went to #3 on the NME indie chart and to this day remains an undisputed classic. With John Peel a huge fan and their own fans affectionately referring to them as the Lorries, they quickly followed that up with fabulous albums like Paint Your Wagon, Nothing Wrong, Blow and Blasting Off. Ironically, 1992's Blasting Off sounded like a band taking flight, but at that point they were a band breaking up. Well, not really breaking up, but heading into a deep hiatus. The band's braintrust Chris Reed surfaced in 2004 with a few new tracks and the Lorries did tour that year and into 2005. But aside from the Thunder In A Black Cave live DVD and Reed's acoustic record Minimal Animal, the Lorries were silent for more than twenty more years. Until now. Long considered to be a holy grail of sorts for Lorries fans, Strange Kind Of Paradise is the band's sixth and final album. Brewing for two decades, the band completed work on the album and it'll be the last word for the Lorries. A wicked blast of angular beauty, dark melodicism and grinding intensity, Strange Kind Of Paradise is a brilliant final chapter that ends with an artful and deeply satisfying crescendo. I hope you'll feel the same way about this chat--it's a good one. https://www.red-lorry-yellow-lorry.com https://redlorryyellowlorry.bandcamp.com/album/strange-kind-of-paradise www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers The Podcast BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

With more than 27,000 members in 32 states, the NIA's goal is to provide nonprofits with access to a stable source of fair and equitably priced property and liability insurance.

A Queens pizzeria is causing quite a stir with its new line of T-shirts featuring the accused Gilgo Beach serial killer, Rex Heuermann. The shirts, created by Pizza on the Point in Breezy Point, playfully reference the method of Heuermann's capture, which involved DNA found on a pizza crust. "The Pizza is Amazing," the shirts read. "But make sure you finish the crust — Rex Heuermann, Gilgo Pizza Connoisseur." While the pizza joint's owners defend the shirts as a slice of Big Apple humor, some customers find the joke to be in poor taste. "That's dark!" commented Breezy Point retiree Paul Fallon. "That's beyond dark. That's tasteless, and tasteless is not a good thing for a pizza parlor." Customer Samantha K also expressed her disapproval. "Oh my God, take the picture off," she said. "It might be funny for some people but it's really inappropriate. They should definitely take his picture off! That is some dark, dark humor." The idea for the shirts came from the pizza shop's owner, local restaurateur Tom McGoorty. Chef Stefano Ballato, who spoke on behalf of the shop, explained, "He has a very good sense of humor. He had them printed by his friends. He was born and raised here in Breezy Point." Pizza on the Point is a popular eatery in Breezy Point and is known for its laid-back atmosphere. "Most of the people here are relaxed," Ballato said. "If you go to Manhattan, you can't make nobody happy. Always someone finds a problem, a way not to be happy. They don't appreciate nothing funny. Not here, no worry in the world. They're all good here." Ballato mentioned that the pizzeria has been giving the shirts away to regular customers and might start selling them due to their growing popularity. "This is America," he said. "The tragedy becomes comedy after time, like Saturday Night Live." Despite the controversy, many customers find humor in the situation. "I think it's hilarious," said customer Alyssa Kotzman. "I really like the way the shirt was laid out. Now that I know I'm definitely going to eat the crust!" Another local, a municipal worker who only identified himself as Brian, also appreciated the humor. "It's funny," he said. "It's a little dark. Dark humor, but definitely New York humor." Breezy Point local Chris Reed agreed, adding, "It doesn't bother me. You gotta make fun of things. You can't always be a tight ass." Rex Heuermann, a married Massapequa Park architect, is charged with killing six sex workers who went missing as early as 2000. Their bodies were discovered along a desolate stretch of waterfront along Ocean Parkway. The cases went unsolved for over a decade until Heuermann's arrest last year, which was partly due to DNA evidence found on a pizza crust. As the debate continues, Pizza on the Point remains at the center of a discussion about the limits of humor and the appropriateness of making light of a serious criminal case.

"The tragedy becomes comedy after time, like Saturday Night Live." Despite the controversy, many customers find humor in the situation. "I think it's hilarious," said customer Alyssa Kotzman. "I really like the way the shirt was laid out. Now that I know I'm definitely going to eat the crust!" Another local, a municipal worker who only identified himself as Brian, also appreciated the humor. "It's funny," he said. "It's a little dark. Dark humor, but definitely New York humor." Breezy Point local Chris Reed agreed, adding, "It doesn't bother me. You gotta make fun of things. You can't always be a tight ass." Rex Heuermann, a married Massapequa Park architect, is charged with killing six sex workers who went missing as early as 2000. Their bodies were discovered along a desolate stretch of waterfront along Ocean Parkway. The cases went unsolved for over a decade until Heuermann's arrest last year, which was partly due to DNA evidence found on a pizza crust.
