Baby Pictures - Part One
These are from our first ultrasound. Denise is 11 weeks along now, so the baby is a little bigger than a strawberry.

Stimulate This!
Hey, I went to a concert last night. The opening band was called Lo-Pro. I missed them completely. The show was supposed to start at 7:00. I got there at, like, 7:15, and they were long gone by then.
Second was Halestorm. I missed the majority of their show, too. I could hear them as I wandered around in the lobby / consession area. I heard their last three songs. Two of them were while I was walking around, and I was on my way to my seat when they played their last song. I didn't even see what they looked like. They sounded good, though.
Next, was Chevelle. I've heard them, and thought they sounded good and all, but seeing them live was great! They're a really good (THREE-PIECE!!!) band. They're like a heavier version of Deftones. The UFO behind them was a nice touch, but never really explained... But, they rocked!
And then, SHINEDOWN! This was my second time seeing them. The first time I saw them was in 2005 with Brother Roger. It was neat to see how much they've grown as a band in the last four years. They put on a really good live show. A lot of audience interaction. They had everyone jumping around the whole time. Good stuff!
Last but not least, Staind. It was my first time seeing them. I never realized how much they rock until I saw them live. I'd mostly just heard their mellow stuff... The coolest part was at the end, though, when Aaron Lewis went out into the audience, and sat on a tour crate, and sung with his acoustic guitar: "On The Outside Looking In," and "It's Been A While." Both songs made the hair stand on the back of my neck, and brought a tear to my eyes. Awesome! Good times!

Backup Plan
So, over the next few weeks, or so, you're going to see a lot of posts on the blog that are not going to make a lot of sense. The next post will be one such post. Geocities will be closing on October 26th, so I lot of the content from the Cruel Music site will be making its way over here to the blog. Don't be alarmed.
The Cruel Music Catalog!
Here it is: The complete catalog of CRUEL MUSIC! A good deal of these tapes, CDs, and videos were destroyed in our 4-2-09 house fire. This is more of a document of what Cruel Music once was. Red text denotes things that were lost in the fire. If you, or anyone you know, would happen to have copies of any of these lost (red texted) items please contact the Cruel Music home office (that would be sandman1975@hotmail.com) immediately. There may be a reward involved!
---------------1988---------------
1.WDN "School Bus Garage" In 1988, we (Roger - my best friend, Terry - my uncle & the founder of WDN, Debra - my sister, and Junebug - me) began prank calling people to relieve our boredom. Me, Roger, and Terry (He was only seven years older than me, so he blended in pretty good with us.) would sit back and "make" my sister make up numbers, and call them. She had to ask them stupid questions, such as "Is your refrigerator running?" This provided hours of entertainment for us, because we knew WE could never get into any trouble for it. Debra was the one calling them, so SHE would have to pay the consequences. My mom caught on to our scheme, after continuously seeing us take the cordless phone in my room, and filling the house with laughter soon afterward. She bought a telephone recorder so she'd be able to find out what was really going on. She must have recorded several tapes full of our fun, and always recorded over them so we could never foil her plan. She recorded over all of them, EXCEPT FOR ONE. Sure, we would occasionally speak up, and not make Debra do all of the work, but unfortunately these occasions were not captured on this tape. We found this tape a few years later, and adopted as a WDN tape. It became the very first WDN tape, even though we didn't have a clue it was being recorded. Weird huh? Our prank-calling activities would later (around 1992) be dubbed as "On The Phone."
---------------1989---------------
2.WDN "Barbie and The Rockers." 1989. This tape is our "famous" info-mercial for Debra's "Barbie and The Rockers" tape. It features the very first "character" created for WDN purposes, Evander (played by myself). Evander quickly got stomped into the ground (as partially evidenced in our next tape), and became very stale very fast. We recorded a few tapes featuring Evander, but recorded over almost all of them, because they were just so horrible.
3.WDN "Evander." 1989, 1990. As previously noted, Evander was worn out. He was our only character, so we kept on trying to repeat his performances. Things got really ugly. This tape was recorded soon after the "Barbie.." tape. In 1990, we recorded over most of it, and put Evander out of his misery. (NOTE: In 1990 and 1991 we were very cheap. We only had two or three "blank" tapes, so we'd record stuff, keep it for a couple weeks, and then record over it. The thought never really occurred to us that we could actually KEEP our tapes, and buy new ones. We must have thought our "first" tape was really special to not record over it.)
--------------1991---------------
4. SOW. February 1, 1991. This is the first in a series of 16 (very embarrassing) wrestling tapes. These little ditties were recorded from 1991 until 1992 when we (me, Roger, and every guy in the neighborhood) thought we were professional wrestlers. We didn't have a camera to record the "action," so we resorted to our trusty cassette recorder.
5.SOW 2. February, 1991.
6.SOW 3. February 21, 1991.
7.SOW 4. February 28, 1991 (Yes, we REALLY DID run everything into the ground once it got started... Four tapes in one month... Amazing... Or maybe just pathetic)
8.SOW 5. March 27, 1991.
9.SOW 6. April 12, 1991.
10.SOW 7. June 2, 1991.
11.SOW 8. August 20, 1991.
12.SOW 9. August 28, 1991.
13.SOW 10. October 5, 1991.
14.WDN "Memphis, TN." October 1991. Ahhh... Finally a little sanity. Well, it may not be sane, but it's a break from SOW and the Evander stuff, at least. We introduced new characters in this tape, which must be how it survived the great "recording-over-old-tapes-and-saving-money" period.
15.SOW 11. October 25, 1991.
16.WDN "Flatwoods, KY." November 1991. Same story as CM14. Not a great tape, but we were still growing. One of us must have liked this tape good enough to not only keep it, but to make a sequel for it as well (see CM18)!
17.SOW 12. November 9, 1991.
18.WDN "Flatwoods 2." November 1991. Hey, lookie here! It's the sequel I just mentioned on CM16!
19.WDN 7. December 28, 1991.
20.SOW 13. December 31, 1991.
---------------1992---------------
21.WDN 8. Nice way to ring in 1992, if you ever get the opportunity: It's another WDN tape! January 14, 1992.
22.WDN "Bug's Holler." January 27, 1992. Not a tape that I'm proud of... Hmmm, am I proud of ANY of these tapes?! This tape is a rip-off of "Saturday Night Live's 'Wayne's World.'" "Holler" = West Virginian slang for "Hollow" or "A Small Road Going Through A Valley." Bug didn't have a world in order to completely rip off "Wayne's World," but by golly, he had me a holler! NOTE: "Bug's Holler," like "Evander," was one of those sketches that we just couldn't get enough of. It was a dominant force throughout 1992.
23.SOW 14. March 9, 1992. Notice how those SOW tapes are slowly deteriorating? Heh heh, it's almost over now!
24.WDN 10. March 17, 1992.
25.WDN 11. April 17, 1992.
26.SOW 15. May 16, 1992.
27.WDN 12. May 24, 1992.
28.WDN 13. May 26, 1992.
29.WDN 14. June 10, 1992.
30.WDN 15. June 18, 1992.
31.WDN 16. June, 1992.
32.WDN 17. June 29, 1992.
33.WDN 18. July 5, 1992.
34.WDN 19. July 8, 1992.
35.WDN 20. August 4, 1992.
36.WDN "Reporters On The Beach." August 28, 1992. This is a useless tape which we "promoted" for a few months prior to its recording. We loved WDN so much, we decided to take it to Myrtle Beach, SC with us for a vacation taping. We recorded pieces of the 14-hour trip every time we'd enter a new town. Brilliant! We even recorded the ever-present "Bug's Holler (along with some other sketches we had created by this time)" right at the beach. Also notable: This tape features the first WDN appearance of future cast member, Ryan M (My cousin).
37.SOW 16. September 16, 1992. All good things must come to an end. All bad things SHOULD end as quickly as possible. This is our last wrestling tape. Yippee!!! The sad thing is, we didn't want it to end. We had to end it, because no one in the neighborhood would wrestle with us anymore!
38.WDN 22. September 18, 1992.
39.WDN 23. September 20, 1992.
40.WDN 24. September 22, 1992.
41.WDN 25. September 22, 1992.
42.WDN 26. September 27, 1992.
43.WDN 27. October 26, 1992.
---------------1993---------------
44.Cruel Connection: "Perfect Little Gentlemen." January 16, 1993. This is the first of 14 six-to-eight-hour video tapes we recorded. Roger currently owns three of those 14 tapes. All 14 tapes are full of our awesome fake concerts.
45.WDN 28. March 12, 1993.
46.WDN 29 "Rocks." April 21, 1993. A tape full of other people's songs that we made fun of. We copied pieces of Cruel Music tapes into songs.
47.Cruel Connection: "Nightmare." May 3, 1993. Fake concert video.
48.WDN 30. May 27, 1993.
49.WDN 31. June 5, 1993.
50.Cruel Connection: "Two Hours In The Life Of The Cruel Connection." December, 1993. A bit of a ripoff of Metallica's "Year & A Half In The Life Of Metallica." This is a documentary about us.
---------------1994---------------
51.WDN 32. January 23, 1994.
52.WDN TV. April, 1994. The title says it all, it's a "televised" version of WDN. This tape marks Terry's final appearance with WDN for many years (he returned in 2003 for "Reporters on the Beach 9"). The tape also features the debut of our ripoff of "Mystery Science Theater 3000," "WDN Theater."
53.Cruel Connection: "Streetfight." April 12, 1994. Another fake concert video.
54.Cruel Connection: "Point of No Return." May, 1994. Fake concert video.

57.Cruel Connection: "Mingo County Jail." July 7, 1994. Fake concert video.
58.Cruel Connection: "The Big Thing." August 1, 1994. Fake concert video.
59.Cruel Connection: "Ice Cold Chicken Soup." October 17, 1994. Fake concert video.
60.WDN TV 2. November, 1994. More of the "televised" version of WDN.
61.Cruel Connection: "Going Crazy." November 21, 1994. Fake concert video.
62.Cruel Connection: "Jams 1." December 18, 1994. FINALLY an audio tape that displays the horrible musical abilities of our little band. Very early stuff compiled on a 60-minute tape. This tape is so early, we didn't even know how to play our instruments yet!
---------------1995---------------
63.WDN TV 3. January 1995. The final installment of the "televised" version of WDN for 5 years. What happa? The WDN camcorder died, and Junebug didn't buy a new one until 2000.
64.Cruel Connection: "Hey, Sweat, Woops." January 25, 1995. Fake concert video. What is "Woops," you ask? It's a quote from our SOW days. For Cruel Connection purposes, "Woops" became our version of the "Bleep" people tend to hear when something is being censored.
65.Cruel Connection: "Smells Like Jooky." February 16, 1995. Fake concert video.
66.WDN 34. April 2, 1995. This tape features Roger's final WDN appearance, to date. WDN almost died after Roger left. It would take over three years to wake the sleeping WDN monster.
67.Cruel Connection: "Jams 2- All By Ourselves." June 27, 1995. More "original" music by our little band. We were starting to improve a little here, but we were still very untalented.

73.Cruel Connection 6. September 5, 1995.

120.Emanon: "Jamanon." December 28, 1996. This is a video documentary of Emanon. Neat-o!
---------------1997---------------

122.Cruel Connection 30: "Crappy New Year." January 24, 1997. This tape became the first tape to feature the name change of Independent Records, "Cruel Music."

124.Cruel Connection 32: "Bandwagon." March 23, 1997. This poor, crumbled tape is (was) a five-song EP.
125.Cruel Connection 33: "Exposure To The Elements." April 26, 1997. Another five-song EP.
126.Cruel Connection 34: "Disconnected Again." May 29, 1997. Another all acousic batch of songs.
127.WDN 35: "Greatest Hits." June 15, 1997. The bands of Cruel Music were beginning to get repetitive and boring around this time period. It was time to bring back the old-faithful, WDN. Even though there was no new material recorded on this tape, it gave the public a glimpse of the soon-to-be returning WDN.
128.Cruel Connection 35: "Leftovers." June 27, 1997. The last of the five-song EP tapes. This tape was planned to be the last CC tape to be recorded for a few months, so the "band" could rest. It turned out to be a longer break than planned. This break would last for over two years.
---------------1998---------------
129.Independent Records: "Jams 9." March 21, 1998. Featuring the final performances of Emanon. This is also the last tape to bear the name "Independent Records." AND... It would become the last video tape produced by Cruel Music for a while, as the Cruel Music camcorder died.
130.WDN 36: "The Next Generation." April 18, 1998. Another self-explanatory title. This is the first new WDN tape in over three years. It features the beginning of Ryan M's career with WDN, also known as "Phase Three" of WDN.
131.WDN 37: "On The Phone." July 2, 1998. This one is named after the most successful WDN segment ever... the one where we prank call people. Look back on the description of the first WDN tape, if you don't believe me! As you might have guessed, it features a lot of prank calls.
132.WDN 38: "Pink." August 9, 1998.
133. WDN 39: "Da Bomb." September 27, 1998.
134.WDN 40: "Ton Bih, I Dop By To!" November 2, 1998.

144.WDN 50: "Conchicitto!" September 19, 1999.
145.Cruel Connection 36: "Cruel Karaoke." November 22, 1999. As with the WDN "Greatest Hits" tape (CM 127), this is to get the public prepared for the soon-to-be returning Cruel Connection. No new material here either... This tape features all of Cruel Connection's karaoke hits. These "hits" were previously only available on CC's video tapes. They were converted to cassette tape, and this very tape is the result of that conversion.
146.WDN 51: "Have a Very Good Dee." December 29, 1999.
----------------2000---------------
147. WDN 52: "A Century Of Achievement." January 1, 2000.
148.WDN 53: "This Garage Is Cold!" January 15, 2000.
149.CRUEL MUSIC: "The Mixture." February 2, 2000. A nice representation of what Cruel Music is all about. The tape features footage of every band, and everything else associated with Cruel Music, recorded throughout the years.
150.Asbestos. February 23, 2000. This tape marks the beginning of the "Transfer all of the Asbestos stuff from video to cassette" period.
151.Asbestos II. February 24, 2000. This is the second of the "Transfer all of the Asbestos stuff from video to cassette" tapes.
152.Asbestos III. February 26, 2000. The third, and final installment of the "Transfer all of the Asbestos stuff from video to cassette" tapes. Being the final installment, it features the final jam of the mighty Metallica cover band, Asbestos.
153.WDN 54: "Sanke Burgers." March 15, 2000.
154.WDN 55: "The Very Early Years." April 9, 2000. In 1993, a bunch of old tapes from the 1980's were found. This tape is the beginning of the "Transfer all of these old tapes over to new tapes, and call them WDN" period.
155.WDN 56: "The Very Early Years II." May 16, 2000. The second of the "Transfer all of these old tapes over to new tapes, and call them WDN" tapes.

157.WDN 58: "The Early Years III." May 16, 2000. The third of the "Transfer all of these old tapes over to new tapes, and call them WDN" tapes.
158.Cruel Connection 37: "Visit Your Mother's Sunglasses." August 25, 2000. Yet ANOTHER one of the CC tapes that feature guitar riffs and other stuff. This one is special, in that it includes some out-takes for the upcoming fifth demo "album."
159.Cruel Connection 38: "Project: Elian Gonzalez." September 9, 2000. The fifth demo "album." Remember that adorable kid, Elian Gonzalez, who fled Cuba, and tried to hide out in Florida? This tape is all about him!
160.Emanon: 18. October 25, 2000. This tape is the first in another annoying series Cruel Music videos being converted to cassette. Will the insanity ever end? Of course not! That just wouldn't be any fun... This series has become known as "51 Hours of Somewhat Previously Unreleased Footage!" If each tape is 60 minutes long, can you guess how many more of these you'll be seeing listed here? Hint: There will be around 51.
161.Emanon: 19. October 25, 2000.
162.Emanon: 20. November 1, 2000.

179.Cruel Connection 39: "Mouse House." December 30, 2000. ANOTHER tape full of guitar riffs and stuff!
180.Emanon: 35. December 31, 2000.
1.WDN "School Bus Garage" In 1988, we (Roger - my best friend, Terry - my uncle & the founder of WDN, Debra - my sister, and Junebug - me) began prank calling people to relieve our boredom. Me, Roger, and Terry (He was only seven years older than me, so he blended in pretty good with us.) would sit back and "make" my sister make up numbers, and call them. She had to ask them stupid questions, such as "Is your refrigerator running?" This provided hours of entertainment for us, because we knew WE could never get into any trouble for it. Debra was the one calling them, so SHE would have to pay the consequences. My mom caught on to our scheme, after continuously seeing us take the cordless phone in my room, and filling the house with laughter soon afterward. She bought a telephone recorder so she'd be able to find out what was really going on. She must have recorded several tapes full of our fun, and always recorded over them so we could never foil her plan. She recorded over all of them, EXCEPT FOR ONE. Sure, we would occasionally speak up, and not make Debra do all of the work, but unfortunately these occasions were not captured on this tape. We found this tape a few years later, and adopted as a WDN tape. It became the very first WDN tape, even though we didn't have a clue it was being recorded. Weird huh? Our prank-calling activities would later (around 1992) be dubbed as "On The Phone."
2.WDN "Barbie and The Rockers." 1989. This tape is our "famous" info-mercial for Debra's "Barbie and The Rockers" tape. It features the very first "character" created for WDN purposes, Evander (played by myself). Evander quickly got stomped into the ground (as partially evidenced in our next tape), and became very stale very fast. We recorded a few tapes featuring Evander, but recorded over almost all of them, because they were just so horrible.
3.WDN "Evander." 1989, 1990. As previously noted, Evander was worn out. He was our only character, so we kept on trying to repeat his performances. Things got really ugly. This tape was recorded soon after the "Barbie.." tape. In 1990, we recorded over most of it, and put Evander out of his misery. (NOTE: In 1990 and 1991 we were very cheap. We only had two or three "blank" tapes, so we'd record stuff, keep it for a couple weeks, and then record over it. The thought never really occurred to us that we could actually KEEP our tapes, and buy new ones. We must have thought our "first" tape was really special to not record over it.)
4. SOW. February 1, 1991. This is the first in a series of 16 (very embarrassing) wrestling tapes. These little ditties were recorded from 1991 until 1992 when we (me, Roger, and every guy in the neighborhood) thought we were professional wrestlers. We didn't have a camera to record the "action," so we resorted to our trusty cassette recorder.
5.SOW 2. February, 1991.
6.SOW 3. February 21, 1991.
7.SOW 4. February 28, 1991 (Yes, we REALLY DID run everything into the ground once it got started... Four tapes in one month... Amazing... Or maybe just pathetic)
8.SOW 5. March 27, 1991.
9.SOW 6. April 12, 1991.
10.SOW 7. June 2, 1991.
11.SOW 8. August 20, 1991.
12.SOW 9. August 28, 1991.
13.SOW 10. October 5, 1991.
14.WDN "Memphis, TN." October 1991. Ahhh... Finally a little sanity. Well, it may not be sane, but it's a break from SOW and the Evander stuff, at least. We introduced new characters in this tape, which must be how it survived the great "recording-over-old-tapes-and-saving-money" period.
15.SOW 11. October 25, 1991.
16.WDN "Flatwoods, KY." November 1991. Same story as CM14. Not a great tape, but we were still growing. One of us must have liked this tape good enough to not only keep it, but to make a sequel for it as well (see CM18)!
17.SOW 12. November 9, 1991.
18.WDN "Flatwoods 2." November 1991. Hey, lookie here! It's the sequel I just mentioned on CM16!
19.WDN 7. December 28, 1991.
20.SOW 13. December 31, 1991.
21.WDN 8. Nice way to ring in 1992, if you ever get the opportunity: It's another WDN tape! January 14, 1992.
22.WDN "Bug's Holler." January 27, 1992. Not a tape that I'm proud of... Hmmm, am I proud of ANY of these tapes?! This tape is a rip-off of "Saturday Night Live's 'Wayne's World.'" "Holler" = West Virginian slang for "Hollow" or "A Small Road Going Through A Valley." Bug didn't have a world in order to completely rip off "Wayne's World," but by golly, he had me a holler! NOTE: "Bug's Holler," like "Evander," was one of those sketches that we just couldn't get enough of. It was a dominant force throughout 1992.
23.SOW 14. March 9, 1992. Notice how those SOW tapes are slowly deteriorating? Heh heh, it's almost over now!
24.WDN 10. March 17, 1992.
25.WDN 11. April 17, 1992.

35.WDN 20. August 4, 1992.
36.WDN "Reporters On The Beach." August 28, 1992. This is a useless tape which we "promoted" for a few months prior to its recording. We loved WDN so much, we decided to take it to Myrtle Beach, SC with us for a vacation taping. We recorded pieces of the 14-hour trip every time we'd enter a new town. Brilliant! We even recorded the ever-present "Bug's Holler (along with some other sketches we had created by this time)" right at the beach. Also notable: This tape features the first WDN appearance of future cast member, Ryan M (My cousin).
37.SOW 16. September 16, 1992. All good things must come to an end. All bad things SHOULD end as quickly as possible. This is our last wrestling tape. Yippee!!! The sad thing is, we didn't want it to end. We had to end it, because no one in the neighborhood would wrestle with us anymore!
38.WDN 22. September 18, 1992.
39.WDN 23. September 20, 1992.
40.WDN 24. September 22, 1992.

44.Cruel Connection: "Perfect Little Gentlemen." January 16, 1993. This is the first of 14 six-to-eight-hour video tapes we recorded. Roger currently owns three of those 14 tapes. All 14 tapes are full of our awesome fake concerts.
45.WDN 28. March 12, 1993.
46.WDN 29 "Rocks." April 21, 1993. A tape full of other people's songs that we made fun of. We copied pieces of Cruel Music tapes into songs.

48.WDN 30. May 27, 1993.
49.WDN 31. June 5, 1993.
50.Cruel Connection: "Two Hours In The Life Of The Cruel Connection." December, 1993. A bit of a ripoff of Metallica's "Year & A Half In The Life Of Metallica." This is a documentary about us.
51.WDN 32. January 23, 1994.
52.WDN TV. April, 1994. The title says it all, it's a "televised" version of WDN. This tape marks Terry's final appearance with WDN for many years (he returned in 2003 for "Reporters on the Beach 9"). The tape also features the debut of our ripoff of "Mystery Science Theater 3000," "WDN Theater."

63.WDN TV 3. January 1995. The final installment of the "televised" version of WDN for 5 years. What happa? The WDN camcorder died, and Junebug didn't buy a new one until 2000.
64.Cruel Connection: "Hey, Sweat, Woops." January 25, 1995. Fake concert video. What is "Woops," you ask? It's a quote from our SOW days. For Cruel Connection purposes, "Woops" became our version of the "Bleep" people tend to hear when something is being censored.
65.Cruel Connection: "Smells Like Jooky." February 16, 1995. Fake concert video.
66.WDN 34. April 2, 1995. This tape features Roger's final WDN appearance, to date. WDN almost died after Roger left. It would take over three years to wake the sleeping WDN monster.
67.Cruel Connection: "Jams 2- All By Ourselves." June 27, 1995. More "original" music by our little band. We were starting to improve a little here, but we were still very untalented.

129.Independent Records: "Jams 9." March 21, 1998. Featuring the final performances of Emanon. This is also the last tape to bear the name "Independent Records." AND... It would become the last video tape produced by Cruel Music for a while, as the Cruel Music camcorder died.
130.WDN 36: "The Next Generation." April 18, 1998. Another self-explanatory title. This is the first new WDN tape in over three years. It features the beginning of Ryan M's career with WDN, also known as "Phase Three" of WDN.
131.WDN 37: "On The Phone." July 2, 1998. This one is named after the most successful WDN segment ever... the one where we prank call people. Look back on the description of the first WDN tape, if you don't believe me! As you might have guessed, it features a lot of prank calls.

144.WDN 50: "Conchicitto!" September 19, 1999.
145.Cruel Connection 36: "Cruel Karaoke." November 22, 1999. As with the WDN "Greatest Hits" tape (CM 127), this is to get the public prepared for the soon-to-be returning Cruel Connection. No new material here either... This tape features all of Cruel Connection's karaoke hits. These "hits" were previously only available on CC's video tapes. They were converted to cassette tape, and this very tape is the result of that conversion.

150.Asbestos. February 23, 2000. This tape marks the beginning of the "Transfer all of the Asbestos stuff from video to cassette" period.
151.Asbestos II. February 24, 2000. This is the second of the "Transfer all of the Asbestos stuff from video to cassette" tapes.
152.Asbestos III. February 26, 2000. The third, and final installment of the "Transfer all of the Asbestos stuff from video to cassette" tapes. Being the final installment, it features the final jam of the mighty Metallica cover band, Asbestos.
153.WDN 54: "Sanke Burgers." March 15, 2000.
154.WDN 55: "The Very Early Years." April 9, 2000. In 1993, a bunch of old tapes from the 1980's were found. This tape is the beginning of the "Transfer all of these old tapes over to new tapes, and call them WDN" period.
155.WDN 56: "The Very Early Years II." May 16, 2000. The second of the "Transfer all of these old tapes over to new tapes, and call them WDN" tapes.
156.WDN 57: "Hog Dog Got Cool Cotton." June 15, 2000.
157.WDN 58: "The Early Years III." May 16, 2000. The third of the "Transfer all of these old tapes over to new tapes, and call them WDN" tapes.
158.Cruel Connection 37: "Visit Your Mother's Sunglasses." August 25, 2000. Yet ANOTHER one of the CC tapes that feature guitar riffs and other stuff. This one is special, in that it includes some out-takes for the upcoming fifth demo "album."
159.Cruel Connection 38: "Project: Elian Gonzalez." September 9, 2000. The fifth demo "album." Remember that adorable kid, Elian Gonzalez, who fled Cuba, and tried to hide out in Florida? This tape is all about him!
160.Emanon: 18. October 25, 2000. This tape is the first in another annoying series Cruel Music videos being converted to cassette. Will the insanity ever end? Of course not! That just wouldn't be any fun... This series has become known as "51 Hours of Somewhat Previously Unreleased Footage!" If each tape is 60 minutes long, can you guess how many more of these you'll be seeing listed here? Hint: There will be around 51.

208.Cruel Connection 40: "The Ghost Of Han." September 26, 2001. A fine example of a wasted tape. Junebug records himself playing his guitar.
209.Emanon #50. October 2, 2001. This is the final tape by Emanon.
210.Antiseptic Anxiety "No Escape!" September 18, 2001. The second explosive album picks up where the first left off. It features a bunch of dumb folk songs, as well as many songs you know and love from the first album.
211.WDN 67 "The Early Years IV." November 13, 2001.
212.The Squabs "We're Going To Change The World, Man." November 20, 2001. A demo / rough mix tape of the upcoming Squabs' CD. It lasts 30 minutes, and really sucks!
213.Cruel Connection 41: "Nirtallic Rose." December 26, 2001. Junebug plays an assortment of Nirvana, Metallica, and Guns N' Roses songs on his guitar, while the tape recorder is rolling, and it becomes the 41st CC tape.

218.Cruel Music: "August 31, 2002." August 31, 2002. This tape is a diary-type-documentary-thing of how exciting life is in Chatty. It captures every highlight of the day, in the span of 30 minutes... Some of these highlights include: Tom singing, Junebug talking to 10 on the phone, guitar pickin,' and watching TV. Can you handle the drama? We think it's best if you didn't try it...
219.Weekend Sale "Sick." September 30, 2002. Like concept albums? Well, "Sick" may just change your life forever! This strange CD (the first CD recorded in Cruel Music history, by the way) has a central theme of having the flu. It only lasts about 30 minutes, but the chart-topping hit "I Can't Believe" makes it worth your time.
220.Weekend Sale "Rough Mixes." October 1, 2002.
221.Weekend Sale "I Can't Believe: The UK Single." November 3, 2002. What a treat, eh? The UK single of Weekend Sale's big, huge, monster hit song, "I Can't Believe." It features re-mixes, and all the other dumb things that UK singles usually feature.
222."WDN Presents Reporters On The Beach 9: The Video." August 17, 2003. All the fun you've come to expect from WDN over the years. A grand total of 2 hours of said fun! And, it even features cameo appearances by WDN founder, Terry, and his family. This video turned out to be the only thing we recorded in 2003. Slow year...
223."WDN TV Volume 5." July 2, 2004. Another one of those massive 6-hour tapes! This one covers a two-year period. Some of the footage captured here includes crap like The Few Get Family's big 5-31-04 mud slide. Exciting stuff! This tape features Ryan's last appearance with WDN.
224."WDN Presents Reporters On The Beach 10: The Video." August 22, 2004. It's a new dawn for WDN! We welcome Terry (creator of WDN)'s son, and another one of Junebug's cousins, Terry Jr., to the staff of WDN... Or not... This tape was an attempt to begin WDN "Pase Four," but it just didn't work out...
225."WDN TV Volume 6." May 16, 2005. More of what you've come to expect from WDN, except this time the tape only lasts 2 hours. Even though WDN "Phase Three" was over, this tape was an attempt to continue in that vein, and it just didn't make the grade... It became the last recording of WDN for nearly three years.
226."Junebugg Fewget's Big, Wild 2005 Myrtle Beach Vacation." August 28, 2005. A visual diary of Junebug's vacation. It's funny, and a little disturbing, and it lasts 2 hours.
227."Junebugg Fewget's Video Journal (August 31-September 11, 2005)." September 11, 2005. Not quite sure about this... I guess it's, like, for my die-hard fans, who can't get enough of me. Kinda like Tom Green's video blogs (ever saw those?). And, this particular tape deals A LOT with me being love-sick. So, maybe it's good for die-hard fans of love(?). I don't know... Whatever it is, it lasts 2 hours.
228."Junebugg Fewget's Video Journal (September 16 - October 16, 2005)." October 16, 2005. Some talk about love, but mostly mountain-top journeys, and news bits. Pretty lame, really. (2 hours).
229."Junebugg Fewget's Video Journal (October 19, 2005 - July 2, 2006)." July 2, 2006. More of the same lameness you've come to expect from these journal things... Features the end of the "Roadside Studio" days, the beginning of the "Belfry Studio" days, and the end of the "Belfry Studio" days. This will most likely be the last tape of the series. (2 hours).
230."Big Hit Blockbuster Of The Summer" July 6, 2007. "You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll learn to love life all over again," raves Jim Slapman of The USA Times. Follow Junebug, Denise, Ozzy, Tommy, and a host of wild critters in their home video adventures. (2 hours).
231.Antiseptic Anxiety "The Threat Is Real" July 31, 2007. The long-awaited return of Antiseptic Anxiety is in the form of this 7-song EP. Features: Dead Rat (?!), I Have To Fart, Pete's Hay, He Walks With Me, Talkin' Show, Country Girl, and Bible Song.
232.3 Santas "Christmas Karaoke" December 25, 2007. It's kinda what it says it is, a Christmas karoke album... With a twist... Three guys dressed like Santa Claus are singing the songs! Features guest vocals by Aunt "10" on one song, "O Holy Night."
233."WDN 69: Larry King With Oprah And Friends" January 30, 2008. The first official "Phase Four" WDN recording, featuring a one-man show of Junebug impersonating several fictional characters (Karl Childers *IS* Larry King!).
234."29 Things Not To Do While Trying To Study." February 27, 2008. Here's the story... I recorded myself reading chapter summaries from my Management 320 book, in an effort to help me study during my last semester of college. The plan was that I would play the CD over and over, and memorize the stuff covered in each chapter, thus helping me to do good on my tests. The only problem was that I ended up doing a lot of other things while I was trying to memorize the stuff. So, as you might have guessed, I didn't do so good on the tests. But, on the bright side, I got this hilarious CD out of the deal!
235.Junebugg Fewget "Cover Sessions 2005-2008" March 29, 2008. I bought my nifty little Zoom Pocket Studio 4 back in 2005, and I started recording a CD of cover songs. I was just really slow in doing so. The entire CD took nearly 3 years to complete. Features my versions of Beatles, Nirvana, Faith No More, Bob Dylan, Nine Inch Nails, and Pearl Jam songs. The first 235 pressings have a bonus track, the old Rockapella song, "For The Longest Time."
236."WDN 70: Gump & Co." April 29, 2008. 70 recordings is quite the accomplishment, don't you think? We do, too! So, to commemorate this milestone in WDN's nearly 20-year history we recorded this *MASSIVE* 6-disc boxed set. To some folks it would seem to be nothing more than an audio book. We have news for these folks: It's not! It's an audio book with a WDN twist! Check it out, Ja?
237."Home Video 2007-2008." May 9, 2008. Kinda self-explanatory. This is a 2-hour home video recorded between July 2007 and May 2008. Features Junebug and Denise's wedding, and their wild honeymoon.
238."WDN 71: Larry King Live: Are UFOs Real?" May 19, 2008. Junebug reads more Larry King transcripts with a host of characters. And, like before, Larry King's voice is provided by Karl Childers.
239.Ultrapoop "The Demo" June 5, 2008. A lot of Jonathan's 17-month-old gibberish with a little of this and that to go along with it. Features Junebug and his parents, too!
240.Ultrapoop "The Album" June 13, 2008. Is it pop? Is it techno? Is it folk? You be the judge! Features 11 "songs." Lots of different noises with Jonathan on lead vocals.
241.Ultrapoop "The Remix" July 1, 2008. Umm... The remixed version of those same 11 songs. The last recording to feature Big Tom before his stroke.
242."WDN 72: Larry King Live: Psychic Kids" August 21, 2008. This is kinda becoming what WDN is all about these days... Includes a special guest appearence by Aunt "10."
243."WDN 73: The Whole Entire Phone Anthology" September 28, 2008. Just in time for WDN's 20th anniversary, this is EVERY SINGLE phone call ever recorded throughout WDN's history captured in a ten-disc boxed set. Celebrate with us!
244. "WDN 74: Larry King Live: Could There Be Ghosts?" October 29, 2008. The big Halloween Special!
245.Junebugg Fewget "Buh Buh Done Got The Blues" November 14, 2008. One song, lasting 39 minutes. It's called "Buh Buh Done Got The Blues." It's a blues-based-improv-sort-of-thing.
246.3 Santas "Deckin' The Halls (Christmas Karaoke 2)" December 13, 2008. Following the standard, olden-day tradition of Cruel Music, this is yet another karaoke album. Features guest vocalists "10 ("Away In A Manger")," and Karl Childers ("Joy To The World").
247."WDN 75: Larry King Live: Twas The Night Before Christmas" December 24, 2008. The big Christmas Special! This time Larry interviews a lady, whos husband was killed in a horrific garbage truck explosion.
248."Famous People (Soundtrack)" January 28, 2009. A very sick Junebug tells stories about all of Chatty's "Famous People." Backed up by music from 1996's instrumental album "Not a Word Was Spoken (CM114)," this 13-song journey is guaranteed laughs for all!
249."WDN 76: Boring Everyday Life" February 22, 2009. It is what it is... Nothing too exciting here. It's more like a home movie, except it's just audio. Features a lot of stuff from Jonathan, and some more sick Junebug moments. Much of the nonsense found on this album will be featured in the upcoming second Ultrapoop album. And an interesting tidbit: The album was completed at 2:22pm on 2-22-09. Coincidence? You decide...
250."Ultrapoop 2" March 22, 2009. The exciting follow-up to the multi-platinum "Ultrapoop" album! Features the smash hit "I Got A Strawberry," and 13 other songs.
251."Cruel Music: The End" April 25, 2009. A 16-song compilation of the Cruel Music CDs created during the 18 months we lived on View Avenue. Features stuff by Ultrapoop, Antiseptic Anxiety, WDN, 3 Santas, and Junebugg Fewget.
