He has challenged the community to create an original song that encapsulates the feel of Zeta shift. It’s not about Beej, it is about the total absurdity that makes really makes Zeta what we all know and love.

A few quick guidelines to help y’all make the best entry possible-

  1. Each entry should be uploaded as a public video to Youtube, and you’ll need to send the link over to [email protected] with the subject line “Zeta Song Contest”. Please let us know in your email what name you would like us to announce on air should we show your submission
  2. Please keep the songs to 90 seconds or less
  3. We want to see your original compositions created during the challenge that showcase your talent! Samples are awesome! Covers are not!
  4. All entries must be in for judging by 8pm PST on Wednesday so it can be played for Beej’s shift!

A baby of a gifted scientists on the doomed planet Pognarma, Captain Wizard Monkey Mark 3 was sent to Earth by his parents to ensure their legacy. But instead of using his powers to make his parents proud he derped.

It’s Desert Bus’ 10th year:

His first memory of Desert Bus:
Driving down from Nanaimo to bring cookies to my friends that were doing this crazy thing in their living room. Not wanting to leave and then watching the stream on my phone as my wife drove me back home late that night.

How he feels about driving for Desert Bus 9:

When not at Desert Bus, he can be found:
In Victoria? Am I supposed to write my postal code here? How much personal information is too much to share with the Internet?

We have concluded our Ogre Prize Pack giveaway with a staggering $3609.90 raised by the donation drive! The winner was Miracleknight, congratulations!

I feel though that we must have a brief moment of silence…for any chance of a positive point/crash ratio. In the duration of the donation drive we had, THREE CRASHES.

This is the moment Beej decided to go mad with power…wish us luck everyone!

When not at Desert Bus, he can be found:

Working crew for LoadingReadyRun & hosting shows for Synaptic Chaos Theatre.

Special Skills:

I play guitar. I play saxophone. I do really good improv. I do pretty good impressions. I overreach. I underwhelm. I use too many spaces after periods.

I also really like to sing, so I hope we can fold some of that in there. I’m keen to see what new J-Pop songs people ask me to play.

He’s a total geek for:

Anime. Wait, I mean *good anime*, Nintendo games, Discworld novels, Barenaked Ladies, Mercedes-Benz (maybe just half-nerd)

Claim to Fame:

My eyes are *all-naturally* f***ed up

Biggest fear about driving for DB8:

I like to fall asleep when I drive. Cars. IRL.

If he was reincarnated as a fruit or vegetable he would want to be:

Celery topped with peanut butter and raisins

Favourite Cheese:

The sharper the cheddar, the beddar

Doesn’t want you to know he listens to:

Polling Rank of ’96 Japan Animation Theme Song

His “moves like Jagger” are more like:

Octodad. And I guarantee I’m not the only person that said this.

Editor’s Note: He totally was.

To prepare for driving the bus he is:

Going to work for eight hours, going home to sleep for five hours, then arriving hungry without having read the instruction manual.

Man, I hope some cool stuff happens on my Zeta shift.

What symbol does your superhero cape have on it?
