Why are the People Yelling Loudest to Wake Up Often the Deepest Asleep? You’ve got all kinds of political factions and ideologies running around these days like chickens without heads, quite a few of whom seem to love bandying about the word sheeple and telling people to wake up. They all see various threats that must be faced “BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE”, and… Dr. Dio Genesis 05/25/13 0
Busy-ness as Usual Been a busy week and a busy day. Kept up all night by a fucking car alarm (police won’t get involved, they just want to arrest anyone upsetting the rich & royals), I had to get my biometrics taken again for my residency on these blighted isles this morning and… Dr. Dio Genesis 05/18/13 0
Scientists Discover the ‘Dumb-Ass’ Gene Well, no, not really, but it does make a good headline, doesn’t it? I’ve seen some articles and posts on the internet recently based on a 2011 study in a Journal for the Association for Psychological Science linking racism and stupidity, entitled Bright Minds and Dark Attitudes. Really, this is… Dr. Dio Genesis 05/11/13 0
Much Ado about Something The Bard’s B’Day was this week and it got me thinking about poetry, art, language and music. I’ve spent years trying to figure out how and why music affects us so strongly. Without using drugs, there are only two ways to achieve instant ecstasy, sex and music. The pleasure behind… Dr. Dio Genesis 04/27/13 0
Clueless in Blighty I had the interesting experience of going out drinking with a bunch of UKBA Immigration Officers last night. My first mistake was, having cut down on my drinking in the last few years to the point that I have the tolerance of a bunny rabbit, trying to match their drinking… Dr. Dio Genesis 04/20/13 0
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed. Wake up, the Wicked Witch is dead. She’s gone where the goblins go, below - below - below! As I write this, I sit here feverish, ailing, congested and conflicted. I’ve been planning for this show since I started doing this, the celebration of the death of the ‘Iron Lady’,… Dr. Dio Genesis 04/13/13 0
Merry Musical Madness and Mayhem Every week, I make some irritable observations and irascible complaints about the world around me. This week is no different, but really, what to choose? The absolute insanity of the human race increases exponentially, like the velocity of a lemming falling at 32 feet per second squared. The most powerful… Dr. Dio Genesis 04/06/13 0
British Bureaucracy, Astounding Astarte and Wry, Witty Wrangling Ah, another inglorious week in Buggery Ol’ Blighty! As I drown in paperwork and demands from both the British government and local council, I freeze in awe at the icy winds and scattered snow that is the coldest Spring Britannia has experienced in centuries. Really. As I enjoyed my first… Dr. Dio Genesis 03/30/13 0
Ale Britania I’m going to my first British Ale festival this evening, BEXHILL’S very own Ale & Arty Beer & Music Festival , and am unsure as to what time I’ll be back. Tonight’s show will be all about the festival, the ale, the art and most especially the music. I’ll be… Dr. Dio Genesis 03/23/13 0
Popes, Phalli, Patrick & ...and, and, and? Must you ask? A new Pope, St. Patrick’s Day, the many obvious jokes, puns and snickering, snide, salacious, satyromaniacal references relating penises with ophidia, and last, but certainly not least, the 10 ton paedo bear in the sacristy. All that. great music, and who knows on this… Dr. Dio Genesis 03/16/13 0
Life in the United, Blighted, Frightfully Unenlightened Kingdom On Monday, 11 March, I have to take the “Life in the United Kingdom” Citizenship Test. Not because I plan on becoming a British citizen, merely to gain permanent residency on these blighted isles. Mind you, they no longer grant “permanent residence”, it is now called “Indefinite Leave to Remain”,… Dr. Dio Genesis 03/09/13 0
Mad Dogs and Englishmen I’ve never understood the phrase “Mad dogs and Englishmen”. It’s my understanding that mad dogs are clearly mad, foaming at the mouth and to a certain extent avoidable, whereas English-persons are, to all outward appearances, sane and reasonable. It’s not until you get within biting distance that they show their… Dr. Dio Genesis 02/23/13 0
Is Ratzinger Fleeing a Sinking Ship? Everyone seems to be agog at Ratzinger’s (hereinafter to be known as The Rat) resignation as Pope. C’mon, really? You’d have to be living under a rock to be unaware of the various scandals that have rocked the Catholic Church, and more specifically, his Papacy in recent years. All you… Dr. Dio Genesis 02/16/13 0
Echoes of Rage in the Ether aka. Gordon is a Moron Redux Last week I had more tech problems and glitches than I’ve ever had before, so although I went on a 45 minute record rant, it was lost in the ether. Therefore I think that a brief synopsis is in order this evening, of how… Dr. Dio Genesis 02/09/13 0
Gordon is a Moron No, I’m not talking about that slimebag Brown, the dumbass bully Ramsay, or even the crooner Lightfoot. I’m talking about...well, that would be telling, wouldn’t it? I’m going to be talking about England tonight. My experiences here so far, the insanity that I’ve dealt with, the corruption of the unions,… Dr. Dio Genesis 02/02/13 0
Divide and Conquer The actual quote was “divide et empera” (divide and rule), but two millennia on it’s still going strong and why not? It obviously works. At a time when we need more than ever to stick together, we’re being divided by prejudice, paranoia, ignorance, idiocy and inane ideologies. Misinformation has become… Dr. Dio Genesis 01/19/13 0
Colour vs. Color and 5,000 Shades of Hate It’s 2013, as if you didn’t know, and not a damn thing has changed. The words, excuses and rationalizations may vary but we’re still all wading through bigotry and mired in hate. Our society’s version of history has a way of forgetting those that don’t fit the paradigm, of ignoring… Dr. Dio Genesis 01/05/13 0
The Ins, Outs, Deaths and Doubts of the Year, Kicking and Screaming its Way into History The New Year is upon us, the old one almost over, and what a hell of a year it has been. Personally it’s been a nightmare, but globally it hasn’t been much better. A mad Jubilee for a decrepit queen, Olympics that were more a competition of megalomaniac sponsorship, greed… Dr. Dio Genesis 12/29/12 0
Twisted Fun House Mirror Shards of Perspective Perspective is a funny thing as we become inured to atrocity. Shock and sorrow depends wholly on the victims, who they are, where they live and perhaps most especially how unexpected the horror. I analyze this, twist it in my head, try to view it from different angles and become… Dr. Dio Genesis 12/15/12 0
The Not-So Subtle Difference Between Symbiotes and Parasites A.k.a. When bowing down becomes bending over.  Another highly eventful, stressful twisted week, wreaking woe, wrath and weakness here on the blighted isles.  As the scion of royal parasites breeds yet another idle, inept, ineffectually dysfunctional drain on an already doomed world, getting the best healthcare and treatment money can… Dr. Dio Genesis 12/08/12 0
Would there be a cure if it was a white, male, heterosexual, conservative Xtian disease? Well, there’s no cure for dumb-assery yet… but I was thinking about AIDS. Today, 1 December, is World AIDS Day. The day the far right reinforces the booby traps and steel of their closets in order to lie, cheat and steal at the expense of the sick and dieing, blaming… Dr. Dio Genesis 12/01/12 0
Thanksgiving: in the UK it’s Thank Fuck We Got Those Weird Jesus Bastards On The Boat Day This past Thursday was “Thanksgiving” in the US (aka the most obese country in the world), when people were supposed to give thanks for all they have by eating themselves into a carb coma, and Friday was “Black Friday”, when people lined up to buy cheap plastic baubles made by… Dr. Dio Genesis 11/24/12 0
Will all self hating Homos please stand up… Sapiens, that is. The ideological fragmentation of the human race fascinates me, and the modern penchant of allowing sociopaths into positions of power has led to fragmentation splintering out into moronic realms that would have been unimaginable in the modern world until very recently. For example, did anyone truly believe that the corporate… Dr. Dio Genesis 11/17/12 0
Is there, in truth, no cure for the common birthday? Just as I think that things could not get any more twisted here, Barmy ‘Ol Blighty throws a bit more flaming excrement my way, just to make things.... uhm… well, interesting. A few days ago I “celebrated” my third birthday on these Blighted Isles, on the same day that, back… Dr. Dio Genesis 11/10/12 0
Nothing to Say I Haven’t Said Before. Talk about a seriously exhausting, stressful week. Here in Blighty, while on the one hand I had the week off with pay (and next week as well), I’m only making minimum wage, so the pay is shit. I haven’t really been able to go anywhere or do anything, and by… Dr. Dio Genesis 11/03/12 0
If at first you don’t succeed, fuck ‘em Sometimes I’ve gotta wonder if I truly am the only thinking person on this dizzily spinning globe. Sure, I know everyone is critical of others, we’re all great at bashing people we disagree with or that we view as fools, but I’m constantly analyzing myself, my own beliefs and “knowledge”… Dr. Dio Genesis 10/27/12 0
Isn’t this wonderful world enough? Another wild and wooly week here in barmy and buggery ol’ Blighty! Madonna took off all her clothes to raise support for a young Muslim girl, who happens to not only believe in keeping herself covered from ankles to neck, but also wears a dupatta to cover her head. Somehow… Dr. Dio Genesis 10/20/12 0
I don’t use drugs, my dreams are frightening enough. Yes, I’m still in Barmy Ol’ Blighty, and it’s still raining, except when it’s just finished raining, preparing to rain, or so thick with fog that the rain can’t even begin to penetrate. The madness of the Brits must be contagious, for my moods have become like theirs, up and… Dr. Dio Genesis 10/13/12 0
Random Synchronicity, Remembrance and Other Vices Some strange things pop up when you’re researching to talk about something, rather than nothing. 15 years ago today scientists discovered the link between “mad cow disease” and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), 30 years ago today in the US a bunch of people died from cyanide poisoning after taking Tylenol, and… Dr. Dio Genesis 09/29/12 0
Another Tricky Day, Another Ticket to Ride Another slow, laborious, never ending week here in Buggery Ol Blighty, yet once again it’s Saturday and I have so much on my mind that I have nothing to say. Last week there were more people in the chat room than there have been in ages, so I’m going to… Dr. Dio Genesis 09/22/12 0
Nothing from Nothing Another exhausting week in SE England, coupled with a long night last night, has left me brain dead, hung over and feeling toxic. My trembling fingers can barely find the keys to type these words. Considering how little I actually drank (two or three pints), it’s obviously more exhaustion tainted… Dr. Dio Genesis 09/15/12 0
Summer Colds and Dithering Dolts. How nice of my immune system, to cap off my bold proclamation of the superiority of Hybrid Vigor and smug claim to NEVER get sick, by kicking me right to the curb for two weeks now with the worst summer cold/flu EVER. Well, OK, maybe not ever.... there was the… Dr. Dio Genesis 09/08/12 0
The Desperate Difficulty of Denying Delusions aka: The Terrible Quandary of Self Honesty. Lately I’ve had Cognitive Bias and Confirmation Bias on my mind & trying to analyze my views of the world has led to a bit of cognitive dissonance. Confused yet? Well, welcome to my world, but obviously not for the same reasons… When… Dr. Dio Genesis 09/01/12 0
I Have Mastered Confusion in the Same Way that a Dwarf Has Mastered Being Short Another long, eventful, stressful, exhausting, enlightening week here in Buggery Ol’ Blighty. I have nothing coherent to say, for there is too much on my mind and there is no consensus to the voices and thoughts spiraling incessantly around my befuddled brain. So, tonight I’ll discuss nothing and everything. From… Dr. Dio Genesis 08/25/12 0
Shit Comes in All Sizes, Shapes and Colors Britain is a strange place. It’s a country that was, until recently, relatively visually homogeneous, yet managed to develop racism based upon other things like culture and way of life. There’s a word they use that I hear often, “Pikeys”, which is an extremely derogatory term for Irish Travelers. Back… Dr. Dio Genesis 08/18/12 0
Yet Another Psudo-Intellectual and Completely Perverse XXX Olympiad Wrap Why hasn’t anyone really mentioned that these are the ending days of the XXX Olympiad? I call them the thirtieth pseudo-Olympiad and the 428th semi-Olympiad, but still, they have been the XXX Olympiad, yet not an orgy or naked body to be seen… except on the streets of London where… Dr. Dio Genesis 08/11/12 0
On Being a Myopic Primate in the Kingdom of Optically Challenged Equus Africanus Asinus I’ve been doing these shows from Buggery Ol’ Blighty for a year now. A year that has whizzed by, yet in some ways had been one of the longest years of my life. A lot has happened in the past year. I’ve gotten my National Insurance Number, which means I… Dr. Dio Genesis 08/04/12 1 08/06/12
Olympian Fantasies With the rising tide of Olympic fever sweeping across these blighted isles, I find myself swept into a stagnant pool of ennui. I find it difficult to care, really. But, for a lack of any better ideas, that’s what tonight’s show will be about. I’ll discuss the vast differences between… Dr. Dio Genesis 07/28/12 0
This is My Weapon, this is My Gun, this is for Killing, this is for Fun? I had some ideas for this evening’s show, but they’re all out the window. I can’t seem to get what happened in Aurora out of my mind. Columbine was shocking, but didn’t really phase me, I’ve come to expect most atrocities from human beings, and this is no different. As… Dr. Dio Genesis 07/21/12 0
What Does it Profit the World to Gain Technology but Lose it’s Soul? For some very strange reason I had Paul Simon’s Kodachrome running through my head, over and over, a few days ago. Not a bad song, really, but truly tiresome after a while, and it got me thinking about the fact that Kodachrome is no longer manufactured. That Kodak is going… Dr. Dio Genesis 07/14/12 0
Independence Day, Part Deux (aka. Where Liberty Dwells, there is My Country) This will be the second part of my show dedicated to the 4th of July, American Independence Day. Last week I discussed the plague that decimated 97% of the Native population just prior to European colonization and the formation of the United States. To put it in perspective, around 97… Dr. Dio Genesis 07/07/12 0
History’s Ink is Liquified Predjudice This coming Wednesday is the 4th of July, American (or more succinctly, The United States) Independence Day. A whole can of worms, that. What do we really know of those heady days, 236 years ago, other than what politicians and their minions; the historians and teachers, have told us? Any… Dr. Dio Genesis 06/30/12 1 07/05/12
The Best Secrets are the Most Twisted Over the years (typing things like that makes me realize why people think I am so much older than I actually am), whether working for the US Govt., with various “celebrities” or around persons of dubious character, I’ve picked up more than my share of secrets. I’ve even developed my… Dr. Dio Genesis 06/23/12 0
Freedom isn’t about BOGO or the abilty to choose an ISP. The word “free” has become a marketing gimmick. When people talk about “freedom” it’s in the context of choosing which phone to use or car to buy or clothes to wear. I want to get away from that a little bit by remembering Emancipation Day, or Juneteenth as it’s called… Dr. Dio Genesis 06/16/12 0
June in Enghland Searing sun, melting humidity, ripping winds, torrential rains and bone chilling cold… that has been my experience so far of the onset of summer in England. I am beginning to wonder whether, when Shakespeare began Sonnet 18 with; “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”, if he was, perhaps,… Dr. Dio Genesis 06/09/12 0
The Diamond Jubilee: A Celebration of an Elderly, Chronically Unemployed Woman Living Off the State. There are two bank holidays (the British equivalent of federal holidays in the US) coming up, on Monday, 4 June & Tuesday, 5 June to celebrate the Queen of England’s Diamond Jubilee - the 60th Anniversary of her coronation. I find the hypocrisy of conservatives fascinating, frustrating and not a… Dr. Dio Genesis 06/02/12 0
Spring, Summer and Straker Redux in Orbit Had major problems with the trains last week, so I went on late and missed discussing everything that happened, so I’ll recap tonight.

Straker & Summer in the Spring In a few hours I’ll be going to see Peter Straker perform live in Brighton, after which we may have a few drinks and catch up on his latest projects.

Britain, I shall not defeat you - I shall transcend you. Yes, it’s been 1 year, 6 months and 7 days since I moved to England. Time to recap what I’ve learned so far about these Blighted Isles. Quirks and manias of the British, madness and mayhem. Wherever you live and wherever you’re from you’ll find it funny as hell, you… Dr. Dio Genesis 05/12/12 0
Cinco De Mayo One hundred and fifty years ago today the Mexican army beat the shit out of superior French forces at the Battle of Puebla. One year six months ago today I moved from NYC to the UK. Today I have a damn nasty cold. So tonight, I’ll be playing Mexican Rock,… Dr. Dio Genesis 05/05/12 0
