Ricky Davis Indie Hits And Bill Little Scott Films Latest Movies
By: Michael D Tobin
March 26, 2024
On this episode of the Lookout Guy podcast, we unravel a couple of secrets behind seamless audio-video production, and remember Ricky Davis's heartfelt anthem, "Proud and the Blue," and get a sneak peek at Bill Little's spine-chilling horror film, Uninvited Spirits. Stay tuned for Ricky's latest release this month exclusively heard first on this episode of, Hurry Up. Get ready for an episode packed with revelations, exclusive music, and a preview of a film that promises to redefine horror.
There's not much worse than being told by anti-Christ followers and insane political idealists, to shut up. What's worse, still, is how many people have no clue that they are being controlled and led off a cliff. I'm back...
Have you ever stumbled upon a podcast that not only entertains but challenges the status quo? Welcome to the 'Lookout Guy' podcast, where host Michael Tobin takes you on a journey through the 'Censored Files' series. Episode 1 is a bold declaration of defiance against the censorship that has plagued his content for over a decade.
Michael Tobin is not your ordinary podcaster. He's a man on a mission, determined to share the episodes that mainstream streaming platforms have tried to silence. These are the discussions on spirituality, social issues, and politics that were deemed too provocative, too potent, too much for the public ear. But now, thanks to Tobin's perseverance and editing prowess, these censored episodes are seeing the light of day.
The first episode of the 'Censored Files' series is a blend of commentary and music, a mixtape of ideas and melodies that will leave you pondering and humming long after you've listened. Tobin delves into the political intrigue surrounding Ukraine, offering a perspective that mainstream media often overlooks. He challenges listeners to seek the truth, to look beyond the headlines, and to understand the deeper narratives at play.
But it's not all politics and punditry. The 'Lookout Guy' podcast is also a celebration of indie music, showcasing indie artists from around the world. These are the tunes that don't always make it to the top of the mainstream charts but deserve a spot on your playlist. The episode features a mix of genres, from the soulful strumming of a guitar to the haunting melodies of a violin, each track telling its own story, each artist sharing a piece of their heart. This episode alone includes artists from Russia, Ecuador, Pakistan, and the Good ol' U.S.A..
All multi-award-winning writers, composers, conductors, vocalists, and instrumentalists.
As you listen to the 'Censored Files', you're not just a passive audience member; you're part of a movement. You're standing with those who believe in the freedom of expression, with those who fight for the stories and songs that are too often pushed aside. Michael Tobin invites you to join him in this audio rebellion, to be a 'lookout guy' in your own right, keeping an eye on the horizon for the truth that is yet to be told.
So, if you're ready for a podcast experience that's unlike any other, tune in to the 'Lookout Guy' podcast's 'Censored Files' series. It's time to listen to the episodes that were censored, to hear the music that was overlooked, and to join a community that values the power of uncensored voices. Are you ready to listen to what they didn't want you to hear?
OK, my killer readers, listeners, and now, watchers, of this podcast, The Lookout Guy Podcast. On these episodes of the Censored Files Series, I merely want to present to the listener and viewer of this show, the real reasons, why dozens of my episodes continue after roughly 14 years of livestreaming, to be censored, by three major streaming sites.
I can show you screenshots of their replies, but it all boils down to my content which is merely discussing current matters whether they be of a spiritual, social or political nature. It is ALL education, but unless you've been under a rock somewhere, you would know that this universal thing called the internet has become a large thorn in the flesh to those who know that we were all better off being too lazy to read a book or go to a local library back in the day.
I am thankful to have had back-up storage of all my shows and streams. All you need to know, really, is what content is on the show, and you can see why it gets censored. I mean, look at the titles. Since 2009, I have been harassed, by one or another; beginning in 2009, when I created my FB account, then youtube around 2010, and following around 2015 with Spreaker Audio, now owned by IHeartRadio. So, please enjoy all episodes of the new series, Censored Files, on the Lookout Guy Podcast, heard on Iheartradio once again, but this time, without the need for Spreaker. Also, TLOG can be seen and heard on Spotify For Podcasters, formally, AnchorFM, and wherever podcasts are, except Spreaker. I also still have my blog for when I have the time to catch up, on I Like Mike at www.michaeldtobin.blogspot.com .
And, this episode has 2 more bonus tracks/Video of Tracy Bickford and Imran Ahmed's 2 most recent releases since this censored archived episode was originally aired.

Three Days in the Grave (band)
+++Jan 10, 2024 update. Here is a video I took of the actual launch from Tuesday evening of Jan 7, 2024 (Not a bad end to the first week of the year). But here's one of my recent podcasts I did and you may go to the 1minute 27second mark into the show to see the launch. It was spectacular.+++
2024 NewYear n' New Indie Artist Videos and SpaceX Launch
IOT: The Internet Of Things - Satellite phone service is about to be wayyy cheaper and available thru your provider on regular cellphones without having to have a special phone.
From this link: https://www.androidauthority.com/starlink-satellite-phone-service-3375427/ SpaceX's Starlink plans to roll out its Direct to Cell satellite phone service starting in 2024. Texting will come first to the service, with voice and data to follow in 2025. Initial coverage will include the continental US, Hawaii, parts of Alaska, Puerto Rico, and US territorial waters. ... On the Starlink website, in the business tab, the company says its Direct to Cell satellite phone service will start rolling out in 2024. Texting will come first to the service, with voice and data to follow in 2025.
Once Direct to Cell is fully rolled out, it will “enable ubiquitous access to texting, calling, and browsing wherever you may be on land, lakes, or coastal waters,” according to Starlink. And it appears the service will work with Internet of Things (IoT) devices with common LTE standards. ...
IoT is an umbrella term that refers to the billions of physical objects or “things” connected to the Internet, all collecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the Internet.
While IoT has been in existence since the 90s, recent advances in a number of different technologies have made it more practical, such as:
IoT devices can range from small ordinary household cooking appliances to sophisticated industrial tools. Each IoT component has a Unique Identifier (UID) and they can also transmit data without the assistance of humans.
From this link: Starlink’s ‘Direct To Cell’ Service Will Beam Internet To Your Smartphone Anywhere In The World Unlike Apple’s satellite SOS connectivity feature that requires a special chip in its iPhones to make it work, Starlink’s service doesn’t have any such limitations. The Starlink Direct To Cell service only requires the user to have a device that supports LTE connectivity and stay subscribed to Starlink’s network carrier partners. Currently, Starlink is bringing the service to T-Mobile subscribers in the USA, Rogers subscribers in Canada, Optus subscribers in Australia and KDDI subscribers in Japan. It is also working with New Zealand’s One NZ and Switzerland’s Salt and there will be more partners across various countries in the future.
Additionally, subscribers will be able to access the Starlink cell phone service only on land, lakes and coastal waters. For oceans, Starlink has a maritime service with a separate subscription plan. It remains to be seen whether Starlink’s service includes the polar regions of the Arctic and Antarctic.

Alice Cooper has released a new single, "White Line Frankenstein", from his upcoming album "Road", due out August 25 on earMUSIC.
"White Line Frankenstein" is built on a rocking riff as it goes into a memorable chorus, "They call me 'White Line Frankenstein'," leading into a trademark Tom Morello guitar solo, hot enough to burn rubber.
Alice Cooper White Line Frankenstein
"White Line Frankenstein is a monster that we created. It's a truck driver who's been out there a long time. He's the king of the road. He doesn't live in a house. He lives in that truck," Alice says. "In the song, this surreal tough guy is driving on white lines for his whole life. So, 'White Line Frankenstein' would be his CB handle. It's monstrous and definitely a stage song." ...
For AC's tour dates and read whole article here: Source article
I just found out about this young group, Treazon, a couple days ago. Following is a demo song from their first upcoming album. A good friend who I almost met in person during the 2010 California Gubernatorial candidacy debates were going on, I had met personally a few candidates and a now mega star political podcaster, @RickAmato. But Chelene Nightingale, the record vote-holding of all previous CA Libertarian candidates, recently posted on her social media a demo song of her son's band, Treazon. So I was blown away by the song, Desperate Eyes. So after this broadcast I have a feeling the band will have their new lead singer, as I already forwarded their invitation to a similar genre friend's band, their youtube video in case they know of someone, mentioning the need for a new permanent first lead singer, (the lead in this demo is a guest. Interesting, right?). And they are already signed with their first of who knows how many or not, label. The following is their media page's song and full description:
Treazon (US-KY) are a young Melodic Heavy Metal band from Glasgow, Kentucky.
The band are currently looking for a singer to record new material and play live shows.
They are influenced primarily by US Melodic Rock and Heavy Metal, FWOSHM, and French Heavy Metal.
Their demo Victim of Treason will be released in 2023 and will include 3 songs; the band are already working on new material.
Lineup:
Dylan Nightingale - Guitars
Brody Busser - Guitars, Bass, Drums, and Keyboards
Craig Cairns (Guest) (Tailgunner, etc) - Singer
Social Medias:
The following Indie artists are all great friends of mine, and only 3 of the 6 I haven't met personally yet but will this come first week of August coming up real soon, in Atlanta at the 5th annual International Singer Songwriters Association awards. Interestingly enough, the first in my line-up of all ahead, the new Indie superband collaboration of Nkounter, includes the 3 I have yet to meet, and include multi award winning Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist from Pakistan, Imran Ahmed with heavy metal's Project X, (who actually has collaborated with this whole following list of artists ahead, such as, Ricky Davis a gas trucker in Minnesota, Tracy Bickford a circuit Singer/Songwriter and multi award winning indie artist in Florida.) Nkounter, a fusion of Eastern Classical, metal and rock, also consists of multi award winning artists, David Pollard, Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist, and Chad Shipley, Drums, both formally of the heavy metal band, Cheering Tokyo. Nkounter recently released their first album, self-titled, Nkounter, with 11 songs total, and from that I have in que, Media. And you may find the Nkounter audio playlist here: Nkounter on Boomplay .
And finally my good Southern California friend who we will actually be traveling with in a couple weeks to the International Singer Songwriter's Association awards in Atlanta, Gregg Wietstock, Bassist for the Christian band, 3 Days In The Grave.

This episode features a story on a coming SpaceX launch of a space ship to monitor a space rock, that is going to be about a ten year mission according to the article, new Indie music from Ricky Davis, songs, Out Of The Basement and Just A Bad Dream. Then a quick bit on a day-old Forbes article on a world-famous hotelier, just dropping a whole San Francisco city block of a hotel, because of San Francisco's issue. THEN a song from Gregg Wietstock, bassist from 3 Days In The Grave, with one of his most recent solo projects, I Cracked My Eye. And I'll conclude with the last performance I've seen 3 Days In The Grave, from Feb this year. 3DITG is, Robert Tyler (lead vox/guitar), Gene Copley (drums), and Gregg Wietstock (bass). Articles: Owner of SF's Largest Hotel, the Hilton Union Square, Is Walking Away, Surrendering It to Lender , and ‘Golden Asteroid’ Mission Is Back On Track, Says NASA
I also briefly discussed how God has answere a few of my recent prayers, (and there's ALWAYS more yet to be dealt with, right?) And I opined about Park Hotels CEO Thomas J. Baltimore and the San Francisco hotel property he just dumped to the lenders.
On Prayer:
God answers prayers. I discussed with him a possibility of skirting California's and Federal fees and taxes, and petrol prices, while staying in my home state instead of running to a different state. I told God I want to stay and see the last drop of life in this state if I have to because I ain't running away. I tried Oregon and Virginia but those were out of pure venture and saw no need to make those moves permanent, way back before it was popular to go to Texas. This photo doesn't have anything to do with what Im getting at, but is just another weird internet thing I just turned on for a bit and am about to turn it off. It's one of the new Microsoft Edge upgrades. I just used it to make sure it's what I thought I had just purchased because the product is from Mexico and the label is in Spanish. But here's how the Lord has been answering my prayers past several years. It is an all-purpose finely powdered milk. Im about to save $200 a year just by using this for smoothies and coffee instead of 24 gallons of milk yearly and 24 bottles of creamer. If I didn't use this powdered creamer at all then I'll save another $40 but then I'd have to replace smoothies with some other food and I cannot imagine that. So far, I now live only 5 miles from work instead of 13 and my new wages/hrs actually lowered a bit but keep me in the same ballpark as I had before I moved, but in a more preferable location and less necessities and expenses, and in the long run I'll be ahead, and my food bill is equal to previous. It was a forward lateral move but will increase even more as my hrs become full-time. This is all on top of athe previous 7 years that already has been nothing short of a time of provision in the midst of famine, pestilence, drought and tyranny. And I even had to work part-time 16-20 hrs a week during 3 of those earlier months until a about 3 yrs of temp-work. I was just above rock bottom living on God's miraculous provision until the last 3 years working 50+ or - hrs per week. I took all I could get until I had to make a choice of being crippled by the time I retire in several more years. And that's when our new plan kicked in. God remembered some of my requests that I had given up on and forgot. If you are tired of being tossed and driven, maybe you can do what I did, and ask God for another plan, to make it happen? It takes dedication and sacrifice. But you get to see God do things you cannot see yourself succeeding in by yourself. Without God, you are really on your own. And that's no fun.
On The San Francisco Dump:
WOW! See what I mean? #sanfrancisco This article is harsh it says it all for the whole state's large cities' future. like San Diego and L.A. This is what I've been talking about past 5 years or so. This article is huge. They only owed 3/4 of a billion out of 1.56 billion $$ but they still dumped it. That's a disaster for SF. I hate to say it really, but it serves them right. From the article; "..."After much thought and consideration, we believe it is in the best interest for Park’s stockholders to materially reduce our current exposure to the San Francisco market," said Park Hotels CEO Thomas J. Baltimore in a statement. "Now more than ever, we believe San Francisco’s path to recovery remains clouded and elongated by major challenges, both old and new: record high office vacancy; concerns over street conditions; lower return to office than peer cities; and a weaker than expected citywide convention calendar through 2027 that will negatively impact business and leisure demand." ..."
