Podcasting Day: Satanic Backmasking with Jason Pargin 🌭
Added 2022-11-30 13:00:08 +0000 UTC
It's Dogg Zzone 9000 day, and we are playing all the hits-- we're talking about a classic moral panic with classic podcast guest, Jason Pargin. His new novel, If This Book Exists, You're in the Wrong Universe, is available here, or here.
We are discussing the Satanic phenomenon of backmasking, which is when demons give you suspiciously incoherent messages when you play music backwards. It sounds stupid and crazy because it is, which means Sean owns several books on it. You will not believe the sinister commands maybe hiding in several songs! Did the Beatles kill a clone, and since they did, was it for the devil or publicity? Did the dumbest fucking dumbshits catch Freddy Mercury using sorcery to subliminally influence marijuana decisions? The evidence speaks for itself! Sort of!
Listen here, or at your normal podcast place. If you support our Patreon, by the way please do that, you can listen to a bonus podcast where Jason and Brockway compete to find the most wicked album cover in the cattiest anti-rock book from Seanbaby's library. It helps if you like and Review! And it spleh if you weiver and ekil!

Gotta disagree with Jason. When an artist is saying to a large audience - not in hidden backwards messages, but outright and for real - that certain sexual or racial minorities are a social poison which is actively hurting our kids and wouldn't it be great if there were some kind of "final solution" to them? Calling for their "cancellation"/deplatforming is NOT the Satanic Panic. What they are actually saying, outloud, really IS the Satanic Panic. Only the stakes are not innocent people going to jail, but innocent people being forced out of their homes or jobs or even lives by mobs. The Satanic Panic was ended PRECISELY because of "cancellation"/deplatforming - i.e. the fearmongering nutjobs ceased to be taken seriously and given airspace by the mainstream media.

2022-11-30 21:30:08 +0000 UTCQueen has a song with the forward-masking message "Don't Try Suicide." It's on the same album as "decide to smoke marijuana" though, so it probably wasn't around to counteract Judas Priest.

2022-11-30 16:47:07 +0000 UTCBackmasking used to be my jam on early YT. Pity not even backmasking can save you from the truly wicked devil that is Content ID (cue orchestral swell).

2022-11-30 15:14:06 +0000 UTCWhy would Satan put messages into lyrics that can be found so easily? I assume he'd want potential followers to find them, but anyone trying to stop him could also find them rather quickly.
