The Slacker Factor ::: The Voice of Generation X: Podcasts, Blogs, World Domination » cool http://theslackerfactor.com Wed, 25 Jan 2012 02:04:34 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 The Slacker Factor podcast and web space blossomed out of the collective frustrations of three East-coast-bred, corporately-employed friends who wanted to create a forum for discussion, expression, and learning. Wait…that sounds way too serious… The reality is we all hate the responsibilities of being adults, and wanted to get together to share random thoughts, listen to loud and curious music, and to have a few laughs. We want you to do the same, and to be a part of the slackerdom. Each podcast features the word and ideas of Generation X, as expressed by Christian Godbout, Robert LaFrance, and Patty Pino. Christian and Rob are veteran radio slackers and Rob continues to bring music to the masses as a professional DJ. Patty is a spoken-word performer, who, way back in the 80’s, made a living as a professional stand-up comedian. All of us met in the 90’s, when we bonded over beat-mixing and the Beastie Boys. Our voices express the angst of too-much-responsibility coupled with the never-ending search for all things less-than-mediocre. Thanks for listening to the podcasts, and checking out the web site.

Listen to bands that don’t exist

Swear off all friends and/or family

Develop an addiction (sex, drugs… anything will work – just ask Tiger)

Marry Up

Never lose your hair (Hairclub, Rogaine…do whatever it takes).  Hear me, Christian?

Produce Films (or buy a Flip Cam to tape your kid’s stupid tricks and call yourself a producer )

Work for Corporate America so everyone around you sucks dramatically more than yourself

Do what you Love

Become a DJ, pretend to DJ, play DJ Hero, or just buy a damn iPod and force your friends to listen your eclectic, purposefully obtuse, self-indulgent music

Follow Fashion Trends.. wait.. DON’T follow fashion trends… no… well, i don’t know but I’m sure there should be something about fashion on this list…maybe I should quit while I’m ahead/behind
