Hey it's your buddy Jamie with a Content Warning: every song on this album has been flagged by Spotify/Apple Music as 'explicit'. The lyrics and song titles may be offensive to you. Maybe sit this one out if you listen with your kids. On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Plouffe listen to Bell's next pick, Machine Girl's "U-Void Synthesizer". The fifth studio album from the duo of Matt Stephenson and Sean Kelly, it has been variously described as fitting the genres of Hardcore, Grindcore, Industrial and Drum and Bass. In their review where they gave the album a 7.8/10, Pitchfork said the album was "relentlessly smashing together bits of punk, grindcore, rave, industrial, and more". In just over 30 minutes, the duo beat the listener senseless with often dark lyrics buried deep in the mix, layers of sound and a small helping of spoken word samples. What will the boys think of Bell's most off-the-wall pick so far? Will this be the rare album we reach a quorum on? Come along and find out!
In the spirit of the diverse bill that was Outbreak 2023, we have Matt Stephenson from Machine Girl on the podcast this week. This was recorded in front of a live audience at the festival and we spoke in depth about his connection to the DIY scene, how he approaches shows and his experience with punk/hardcore helped guide some of his direction.

Let's just say you didn't grow up wanting to become a spy. You just wanted out of the family car business. You're armed with an Ivy League education in your back pocket. You have a more noble profession in mind. I don't know... maybe... to be an actor. But... to support yourself... you need a survival job. Before you now it, while your acting peers are waiting tables, you begin your apprenticeship as a corporate spy. Dear listeners... everything you about to hear is entirely true...

His new book RUSE: Lying the American Dream from Hollywood to Wall Street details stories that are just too good to not be true. Dig it... RUSE: Lying the American Dream from Hollywood to Wall Street RUSE: Lying the American Dream from Hollywood to Wall Street is the story of a young man who dreams of stardom but can't quite shake everything he's learned growing up in the family car business. RUSE lives in a unique intersection of Hollywood and Wall Street as Robert tries to straddle both worlds: interacting with entertainment legends as a burgeoning actor while making ends meet as corporate spy, coaxing people inside big Wall Street firms to reveal information and secrets that could bring down companies worth billions of dollars—and bring him into the crosshairs of the authorities. About Robert Kerbek Robert Kerbeck is the author of RUSE: Lying the American Dream from Hollywood to Wall Street, a thrilling look into the world of corporate espionage and his career as a secret spy. Robert's essays and short stories have been featured in numerous magazines and literary journals. One story was adapted into the award-winning film, Reconnected. He fought one of the worst fires in California history, the 2018 Woolsey Fire, to save his home. His debut book, Malibu Burning: The Real Story Behind LA's Most Devastating Wildfire, won the 2020 IPPY Award as the Silver Medalist in Creative Nonfiction, the Readers' Favorite Award as the Silver Medalist in Nonfiction Drama, and the Best of LA award. A lifetime member of The Actors Studio, Robert has worked extensively in theater, film, and television, appearing in lead roles in major shows and earning several awards. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, he resides in Malibu.

Standing in line, marking time Waiting for the welfare dime 'Cause they can't buy a job The man in the silk suit hurries by As he catches the poor old ladies' eyes Just for fun he says, "get a job" That's just the way it is Some things will never change That's just the way it is Ah, but don't you believe them -- Bruce Hornsby You tired of hearing about that 3.5 million open cybersecurity jobs number? You know for the open I like to bring either culture or data… let's go with some data this time. How bout we dig a little deeper? There are nearly 465,000 unfilled cyber jobs across the nation.

Analytics Insight forecasts 10,006,993 new job openings in cybersecurity by 2023 compared to 3,241,800 job openings in 2019 Cybersecurity has the widest gap between the workforce skills needs and the people who possess those skills MIT Technology Review fewer than 25% of applicants are qualified for open positions. Medium reports that ICO fines, incessantly evolving threats, and fewer tools are "creating exhaustion" among cybersecurity professionals. Let's add this from a Google search… As we are all more than likely familiar with how Google searches work. This… from the “People also ask” section Is cybersecurity a high paying job? Is cyber security a good career? What jobs can you do with cyber security? What are 3 jobs in cybersecurity? Valid questions one and all… What is actually happening in the world of Cybersecurity talent? Well… I got A Guy… Today Matt Stephenson welcomes Matt Donato, Executive Director at cybersecurity talent firm CyberSN.
