Johnny Rocket Launch Pad-libertarian Rock N' Roll Experience

Show Notes: Today we have an interview but first we check out the message of Freedom isn’t Free by Trey Parker http://bit.ly/2HIDHut Nicky borrowed his pick from the Tom Woods Show. He’s chosen Grand Tour by Big Big Train. He described it as classic prog for the most part with some very movern moments. https://bigbigtrain.bandcamp.com/ I’ve picked The Navigator by Adrian Prath. This record had the sensation I was hoping for this week. I wanted something upbeat but soulful. It has the charm of Best Coast with the charm of The Smiths. The vocal performance reminded me of Deathcab because it sounded like someone describing a dream. Link: https://adrianprath.bandcamp.com/album/the-navigator Tatiana Moroz of The Tatiana Show and Proof of Love Podcast is our guest this week. Check out the Podcasts here: The Tatiana Show https://thetatianashow.com/ Proof of Love Podcast https://proofoflovecast.com Here are some of the artists we talked about: Cat Stevens https://spoti.fi/2VS8LCh Prince https://spoti.fi/30s5

In this landmark decision, a unanimous US Supreme Court held that courts have to defer to the decisions of administrative agencies when the agencies interpret statutes. This case further expanded the power of the massive administrative state and gave power to federal agencies that combine the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the government in contradiction of our constitutional form of government.      

We’ll start with an analysis of that once ubiquitous hip hop romp Mo Money Mo Problems. Is it true? In I Heard This Happened: Nicky brings to the table some modern psych. Colors E.P by Triptides carries the best parts of 60s psych rock & bears some resemblance to acts like: Tame Impala, The Sea & Cake & The Stepkids. First off I'm a bit sick of constantly having to say LA-based band. What's wrong with these people? Move to a place that isn't overrun with socialists. Ugh. Anyway, the EP has a sound similar to the modern psych fare of the Stepkids with a less funky more authentic ambience. Summed up more Beatles less Beegees. The EP does well to balance the more shimmery garage stuff with the more ambient pieces. All in all a solid listen. https://salty-dog.bandcamp.com/album/colors-e-p This episode I went for some music for breaking stuff and probably gaming. It’s Anatomy by thrash metal band Death Be Not Proud. This record has grindy guitars with screaming in harmony. If that’s not enough to t

On this episode bide your time with Sherry and Alan as they contemplate the manufactured controversy between Tucker Carlson and people who have nothing better to do than dig up things people have said in the past and be outraged about them.

The citizens of Fo Shan were prosperous and practiced kung fu as a hobby. Martial arts clubs opened up turning Fo Shan into a province renowned for martial arts. In 1937, the Japanese begin occupying China. The Japanese general challenges Chinese men to duels to prove the superiority of the Japanese, but Ip Man refuses to fight -- at first.

The US Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, makes a great argument against police using deception, fraud, coercion and trickery in obtaining criminal confessions and creates the now famous Miranda warnings with which we are all familiar. Unfortunately, there is no constitutional authority for the SCOTUS to impose such a policy.

In Sounds Like Liberty: Episode 39. Hi folks. I’m (Lizzie) taking over writing these things, so dig these value packed new show notes. In today’s episode we talked with the wonderful Mr. Chris Spangle of We Are Libertarians fame. We go through the Libertarian gossip mill and of course culture. It always comes back to culture doesn’t it? To begin today we examine that classic hippy tune People Got to be free by The Rascals. But do people want to be free? http://bit.ly/2ClcOLn In I Heard This Happened: Nicky brings to the table some pop-rock gold in the form of the record Topiary by LA artist Alex Jules. The songs might remind you of classic Billy Joel. In fact if you couldn’t discern the modern recording techniques you might assume it was straight from the 70’s. There is something almost like Styx or Supertramp in Alex’s tenor and he has moments of swagger like early Ben Folds Five. The record came out on Match 8th and you can check it out here: http://alexjules.bandcamp.com/album/topiary I have the recor

We are joined by a yout from the Liberty Weekly Podcast to discuss a lawyer-themed movie, My Cousin Vinny. That's right, Patrick MacFarlane is joining us to discuss another movie based on lawyering, and it should be a great time as we explore this Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei flick that still holds up to this day. Two naive youts traveling from New York City to college in California drive through Alabama and are erroneously arrested, and accused of homicide. Luckily, one of them has a cousin who's an attorney - Vincent Gambini, a previous auto repairman from Brooklyn who just passed his bar exam after his 6th attempt. Vinny's never been in court - or in Alabama - and when he lands with his leather-clad fashionista sweetheart, to attempt his first case, hilarity ensues - for him and the deep South! Join us next week for our St. Patrick’s Day episode where we analyze a Chinese movie about Japanese occupation with a guy from Texas, the Anarchist Luke Tatum of the Culture of Peace Podcast.

Show Summary: Liberty Ignites! After liberty fighters have been chased across the galaxy! Our heroes have departed the secret base of the Austro-Libertarian where Johnny and Raylene reach a small resistance pocket in the Bastiat Sector. Where Bravery, ethics, and philosophy, the lifeblood of liberty rests! Johnny and Raylene battle alongside Luke Henderson, libertarian Author and journalist, who oversees the training of resistance fighters, with the help of contracted bounty hunters. Luke talks about his book and what libertarian values are the philosophy and the complexities of differing cultures in a free society.

Free Your Mind by En Vogue in today’s analysis. Is there something inherently libertarian about inclusivity? Find out. Get smooth with some soft rock and then get rowdy with power pop in I Heard This Happened. Nicky went with Try And Begin by NY band UV Rays The entire album has this incredibly strange mix of California pop-punk and 90’s female fronted alternative groups like Veruca Salt & The Breeders. There are moments where it has the shimmer and technical bits I might expect from the theme music to an anime. http://uvrays.bandcamp.com/album/try-and-begin Liz’ pick is City Pop by Amsterdam artist Benny Sings . It has a sound like Metronomy and Phoenix with a heavy dose of 70’s soft rock smoothness. It’s a summery breath of fresh air. https://bennysings.bandcamp.com/album/city-pop Mason Joseph is the other half of the Tasting Anarchy podcast. He adds fuel to the fire of our awkward conversation & we know how much nick loves awkward conversation. https://tastinganarchy.com Mason Recommends Th

We do an analysis of the Coen Brothers latest effort, the Ballad of Buster Scruggs. It's a series of 6-western themed vignettes with the requisite Coen-quirkiness. Each story has a few interesting points for the sake of our discussion...and what do you know, it comes out to enough for a show. The Ballad of Buster Scruggs recounts the narrative of a sharp-shooting vocalist. In Near Algodones, a would be bank-robber gets his due to say the very least. Meal Ticket is a dreary story around two fatigued weary traveling entertainers. All Gold Canyon is an nearly one man show about a miner digging for gold, while a lady finds a startling level of adoration, alongside a portion of life's savage incongruity, on a wagon train over the prairies in The Gal Who Got Rattled. And lastly, spooky feels frequent The Mortal Remains as a Woman downpours judgment upon a diverse group of fellow carriage companions each with a different philosophy on life. We throw about ten minutes at each story and this falls right into Rober

Show Summary: Johnny at the helm of “Liberty One”, and Raylene armed with her “Ray of Truth” travel far across the galactic sea of statism in search of the Austro-Libertarian himself C. Jay Engel! Alone on a desolate world of socialism and communism, the Austro-Libertarian C.Jay Engel stands alone and does what he can to fend off evil.  C. Jay Engel advances the Austro-Libertarian tradition of economic and political thought, especially as it has been articulated by the likes of the original libertarian cosmonauts: Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard, and Hans-Hermann Hoppe. The Austro-Libertarian separates his beliefs from libertarianism technically defined; The Austro Libertarian pulls no punches when he tends to favor culturally traditional western traditions in contrast with left-libertarianism. So Behold the Austro Libertarian on episode #34  of Blast Off with Johnny Rocket! About The Guest:  C.Jay Engel is a business owner and entrepreneur who lives with his wife and two children in northern California.

Tyson Timbs pled guilty to a $400 drug transaction in Indiana. Government agents used that as pretext to steal his $42,000 car he purchased with money he got from his dad’s death. The US Supreme Court held that the 8th Amendment’s prohibition against excessive fines applies to the states.  

In today's episode Nicky P & Lizzie examine Signs by The Five Man Electric Band. No need to even guess where this one goes if you’ve ever heard it...but how riled will I get? http://bit.ly/2StIGCT Synthpop and Stoner Metal this week in I Heard This Happened. Nicky’s pick is Swedish metal band Ordos with The End. I really enjoyed the textured approach to vocals on the record. Some Jim Morrison-esqe cleans next to some Tray Sanders styled grows really works. There is a fantastic squelch on the guitars that is incredibly appealing. They’re crazy thick but somehow smooth & never drop the heavy. They’re not exactly breaking the sludge/stoner mold here but fans of the genre probably see that as a feature not a bug. I certainly do. http://ordosofficial.bandcamp.com/album/the-end-2 Liz’ went for some Synthpop with Pastel Skies by Detuned Goom. It sounds like the ‘80 we wish there was. You would have looked fab in those leg warmers.It is not completely instrumental but the vocals are so oddly tonal that t
