WELCOME TO DIDDLETOWN:
DAN AND JOE TALK ABOUT HOUSE OF DEATH

Dan Budnik & Joseph A. Ziemba, 02.10.11

Do you ever think about what it might be like to watch a movie with us? Because we think about what it would be like to watch a movie with you. Every single day. Sometimes, three or four times a day.

Recently, we were asked to contribute the first-ever Bleeding Skull commentary track to a DVD that will be released this spring. The recording session went well. Super well. So well that Dan had an idea.

"Hey Joe, you know how we're always talking about how great it would be if every single person who has ever 'surfed' Bleeding Skull could watch a movie with us?"

"Hey Dave. No. Not really."

"Well, it would be awesome. After Amoeba on Saturday, we should record another commentary track. But it'll be different than the one we just did. No preparation beforehand. Just sitting down and letting things flow. Then, we could put it up on the site and everyone who hears it could imagine that we're all together in your apartment, watching a movie together."

Two days later, we found ourselves in Joe's living room with a bottle of wine, some beer, five tubes of Crack-Cream, and a Rocadiles t-shirt. We also got loaded and dabbled in faint eroticisms that (possibly) shouldn't be shared in mixed company. For that reason, Bleeding Skull Commentary #2 is currently residing in our pockets. You will most likely hear it sometime before the end of this year. But not today.

Undaunted, we reconvened in Dan's living room for the recording of Bleeding Skull Commentary #3 -- House Of Death aka Death Screams. No booze. A few notes. And two tickets to Diddletown. In four simple steps, you can join us:

1. Download Bleeding Skull's Diddled-Up Commentary For House Of Death (MP3, 105 MB)
2. Grab your Video Gems VHS of House Of Death, or your truck-stop DVD of Death Screams.
3. Cue up our commentary and your copy of the movie at this point: When the words "A UNITED DISTRIBUTION COMPANY PRESENTATION" settle on your screen, Joe will say "A UNITED DISTRIBUTION COMPANY PRESENTATION" and you'll be set.
4. Feel awesome.
