THE DOOMSDAY DJ:
TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
This week in 1983, the Lionel Ritchie single “All Night Long (All Night)” went to #1 on the Australian charts (December 19)
One of the great party songs of the 80s…
The single from the “Can’t Slow Down” LP also reached #1 on three US Billboard charts (pop, R&B and adult contemporary), and went to #1 in Canada, South Africa, and the Netherlands.
Richie said to CNN that it took him about two months write this song.
He explained:
“I just couldn't find the ending - I couldn't find all night long to save my life. I had everything, the verses, the middle part, all the stuff.
I just did not have all night long.
It took me forever to find it. And finally one night, the heavens opened up and came through."
Richie told The Epoch Times that he got the vibe for this song from his vacations in the Caribbean.
Some of the multicultural words are authentic, but some Ritchie simply made up for the song..,.
Fun fact: a young Richard Marx is one of the backing vocalists on the song.
This was the first Lionel Richie video to make an impact on MTV, and was extremely popular back in the day.

On this day in 1969, the soundtrack to the movie “Easy Rider” debuted on the UK Albums Chart at #14 (December 20)
“Easy Rider” is an American independent road drama film written by Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Terry Southern, produced by Fonda, and directed by Hopper, starring Fonda and Hopper, and co-starring Jack Nicholson and Toni Basil.
The brilliant, iconic counterculture film explores the societal landscape, issues, and tensions in the US during the 1960s, such as the rise of the hippie movement, drug use, and communal lifestyle.
The movie's soundtrack featured major rock artists including The Band, The Byrds, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Steppenwolf, and here’s how it happened…
To make watching hours of bike footage more interesting during editing, editor Donn Cambern used various music from his own record collection, including The Band, The Byrds, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Steppenwolf
Interestingly though, the original plan was that Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were actually going to write a totally original soundtrack, but after the temporary songs were put in, they fit so well that the producers decided to go with that, and go get the rights to use those songs!
And CSNY reportedly agreed that they couldn’t have improved on it!
So most of Cambern's music that was originally supposed to be just temporary, was actually used for the soundtrack, with licensing costs of $1 million, triple the film's budget!
The soundtrack also peaked at #4 in Australia.

This week in 1971, the Who LP “Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy” debuted on the UK Albums Chart at #23 (December 18)
This Who compilation LP was put together by Pete Townshend, and apart from “Boris the Spider", every track on the album had been released as a single in the UK.
In fact, all except "A Legal Matter", "Magic Bus", and "The Seeker" were Top 10 hits there.
It also features favourites like “I Can See For Miles”, “Pictures of Lily”, “Pinball Wizard”, “My Generation”, “I Can’t Explain”, “Substitute”, and “The Kids are Alright”.
The curious name of the album comes from the band members themselves; Roger Daltrey got “Meaty” because of his muscular physique, naturally Keith Moon got “Beaty” as the manic drummer, “The Ox” Entwistle got “Big”, because….well, he was, and “Bouncy” was the ever bouncing around on stage Pete Townshend.
On the charts “Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy” went to #9 in the UK, #11 in the US, and #27 in Australia.
In 1987, Rolling Stone ranked the album #99 on their list of the 100 best albums of the period 1967–1987.

Why 1 Million Sats Isn’t ‘Small’
Most people still think in fiat.
They look at 1 million sats and say:
“That’s only a thousand bucks.”
“Not enough to matter.”
“Barely a start.”
But that’s fiat thinking talking.
Because 1 million sats isn’t about today.
It’s about leverage before the crowd understands what it is.
Let’s do the math:
→ Only 21 million Bitcoin will ever exist
→ That’s 2.1 quadrillion sats
→ And 1 million sats? That’s just 0.0000000476% of total supply.
Sounds tiny, until you zoom out.
Because right now:
→ Institutions are scooping supply
→ Custodians are tightening access
→ Regulation is racing ahead of retail
→ Halvings are compressing emissions
And most of the world?
Still thinks they’ve got time.
Still measuring in fiat.
Still thinking 1 million sats is “not enough”...
Until 1 million sats = $10,000.
Or $50,000.
Or something they can’t touch anymore.
Here’s the truth:
1 million sats is enough to:
→ Break the cycle
→ Store value outside the system
→ Leave a legacy no central bank can rewrite
It’s not a bet.
It’s a message.
A message to yourself, and the future, that you moved before the door closed.
So if you’re hesitating because it “doesn’t feel like much”...
Good.
Because the moves that matter never feel big in the moment.
They feel early.
They feel boring.
They feel skippable.
And that’s the edge.
Stack early, stack sats.

Castel del Monte 🏰
Castel del Monte is a 13th century fortress built by Frederick II of Swabia, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Sicily, on the top of a hill 540 meters above sea level in the western Murge plateau in Puglia.
It is located in the homonymous hamlet of the Italian municipality of Andria, located 17 km from the city, near the town of Santa Maria del Monte.
Included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1996, in 2014 it was the thirtieth most visited Italian state site, with 206,924 visitors and a total gross income of 518,960 Euros. It is also depicted on the Italian version of the 1 euro cent coin.

You look at the bizarre, fleeting narratives of your sleeping mind and wonder: Are they meaningless neurological static, divine messages, or mere echoes of the day?
Sigmund Freud cuts through the mystery. He makes a radical claim: dreams are not nonsense, but the "royal road" to understanding the unconscious mind—a coded language of desire, conflict, and repressed childhood memories.
This book is not a simple dream dictionary; it is the foundational manifesto of psychoanalysis. It argues that to ignore your dreams is to ignore the most truthful, unfiltered part of yourself. Here is the core of Freud's revolutionary theory.
We are all actors on a stage, but our conscious mind is merely the performer in the spotlight.
The true director—the unconscious—works frantically backstage, censoring and reshaping unacceptable scripts. A dream begins with unconscious wishes, often rooted in infantile sexuality and aggression, that are too disturbing for the conscious mind to entertain.
The "dream-work" is the unconscious director's ingenious process of disguise. It uses symbolism, condensation (merging multiple ideas into one image), displacement (shifting emotional focus to trivial details), and secondary revision (polishing the dream into a coherent story upon waking) to veil the true meaning.
Thus, the apparent nonsense of the dream—the "manifest content"—is a carefully censored facade. The interpreter's task is to peel back these layers through free association, guiding the dreamer to uncover the hidden "latent content," the true, unsettling wish the dream fulfills.
For Freud, even the most terrifying nightmare is a fulfillment of a wish, often a wish for punishment. He famously analyzed his own "Irma's injection" dream to demonstrate this, revealing it as a complex tapestry of professional anxiety, guilt, and a desire to be exonerated.
Freud placed childhood experience and the family drama at the center of this psychic theater. He introduced the world to the Oedipus complex, proposing that the core, repressed wish for a young child is the unconscious desire for the opposite-sex parent and rivalry with the same-sex parent.
This unresolved conflict, he argued, becomes the primary source material for the symbolic language of our adult dreams. In his view, seemingly innocent dream images—a house representing the body, a king and queen representing parents, elongated objects as phallic symbols—are all part of this universal, psychosexual cipher.
In essence, The Interpretation of Dreams did more than explain nightly visions; it declared that we are not the masters of our own minds. It proposed that our most rational selves are perpetually negotiated with a hidden, irrational underworld of primal drives.
The book's seismic power is in its foundational assertion: to understand yourself, you must learn to interpret the cryptic, urgent messages you send yourself in the dark.

'Why I Am So Clever' by Friedrich Nietzsche is a sharp, bold, and deeply personal look into the mind of one of philosophy’s most fearless thinkers.
In this essay, Nietzsche doesn’t just talk about intelligence — he explores how he became himself. He speaks about his habits, his solitude, his love of clarity, and his refusal to follow the crowd. For him, being “clever” isn’t about knowledge — it’s about understanding one’s own instincts, body, and mind.
He rejects comfort, routine, and blind obedience. Instead, he celebrates creativity, independence, and the courage to think differently. Every line feels like a challenge to live more truthfully and to stop pretending for society’s approval.
It’s not arrogance — it’s a declaration of freedom. Nietzsche shows that true cleverness is knowing yourself so completely that no one else can define you.
