    Welcome back to Constellation, Last Stand Media's conversational podcast. This week, Colin Moriarty slips into the host's chair, and is joined by his wife, Punching Up co-host Micah Moriarty, and the Defining Dukes themselves, MrMattyPlays and Lord Cognito. As usual, the topics are varied. Considering the makeup of the cast today, Colin kicks things off with an inquiry into Xbox's catastrophic hardware situation. Can the brand survive as-is while selling fewer than a million units a quarter? Inspired by his new multimedia YouTube project, Matty wants to talk about new ventures we've undertaken, or perhaps still plan to in the future. Leaping off of that is Cog, who recounts important milestones in his life, and wonders which moments are truly the most important in getting us to our respective today. Finally, Micah wraps things up with one of her great passions: The grill. It turns out that no matter what Micah's doing, she'd Rather Be Grilling.

    #68 | The Music Episode: Festivals and Touring, Discovering New Music, The Economics of Streaming, Remaining Relevant
    Apr 30 2024
    Welcome to an unusual episode of Constellation. It is I, Colin! Some time ago, I expressed that I'd like to pursue 'themed' episodes on occasion, and indeed we pursued such a program with episode 60, which was purely political in nature. This time around, I wanted to cover another of my deep passions -- music -- and I wanted to do so with the perfect companion: My best friend, Ramon. Ramon is the writer and musician behind all of Last Stand's theme music, yes, and it's true that we met as freshmen at Northeastern due to our shared love of 311. But, in his own right, he's also an accomplished and experienced working musician with excellent insight into the business, who knows obscure bands and records like I know Vita games, and who's currently toiling away on a new project of his own. We touch on a lot of topics, and we do so loosely, so... no timestamps (sorry). Click play to listen to us wax about Coachella's lame crowds and the grind of touring, the rise of the mega-festival, how the '90s helped fashion our musical tastes, the downside to the streaming economy, how the pandemic affected live music, and so much more. We discuss bands like No Doubt, Limp Bizkit, Blur, Ben Folds Five, and the Deftones, and touch on some non-music fare, too, like pro wrestling and baseball. Please enjoy.

    #67 | Nuts, Adaptability, Nintendo, Scams
    Apr 23 2024
    It's time for another Constellation, folks. Welcome back to the conversation! Micah kicks off this week's craziness with a fitting topic: Nuts! Eaten by the handful or as an ingredient in a wide variety of foods, which nuts tend to be our favorites, and which aren't worth their salt? Next, Chris leads the gang in a discussion about adaptability. What experiences have we had adjusting to new conditions, and who do we admire for demonstrating the talent and ability to do just that? For this week's third topic, Colin would like to talk about Nintendo. As the storied video game giant continues to ride the wave of tremendous success, the team breaks down Nintendo's past, present and predictions for their future. Dagan brings the festivities to a close with some stories and concerns about scams. With the harsh uptick in frequency and sophistication, what experiences have we had with scams and being taken advantage of by those shadowy entities trying to steal our personal data?
