Dying Eyes

Dying Eyes

Author: James Cummings March 29, 2021 Duration: 1:09:52

This episode starts of strong and upbeat with shoutouts to James' sister, Melissa, and a big thank you to everyone. James learned while editing that Nespresso and Nescafe are not the same thing...and though he says Nescafe repeatedly, he meant Nespresso...and shouldn't record first thing in the morning as a rule. Then the musings take a more somber turn up the Boulder turnpike as James goes on about how the recent shooting event there got under his skin quite a lot. 

A song by the band Apathy (Colorado) is included in this episode, with permission, and is also the namesake of this episode's title. Hug your people if you are able. Take care of yourselves, and each other. 

"Dying Eyes

And they died. The look in their eyes. Unconscious surprise. Unknown terror. It’s concrete in their eyes. They were taken – death’s form in children. What were they thinking? Not a Goddamn thing, they were gravely mistaken. Mistaken. Fucking cowards. There are no words to describe the void that you left inside. Your lives in vain, your mind’s – insane. What made you think you had the fucking right, what the fuck? You had no fucking right. Taken. Unliving. Past forgiving. A place on Earth that we can call Hell, but we’re lucky enough to call it home. Fucking pussies. Two minds so weak. What made them think they’d accomplish a thing? I’m sorry to the victims and their families. We all share in your grief. Weak-minded motherfuckers. How could this be? This can’t be happening to me. My mind’s now free. Eternal serenity. Fucking freaks. My mouth can’t scream. I can’t let these fucks take my life from me. But if I can hold on I might make it to see another day. Crouched on the floor. Horrors outside the door. I am numb to everything, except complete fear. I turned to God that day. I looked for His help that day in hopes that I could go away. Just go away, and see my family. But some died. A whole world cried. They lost their precious lives for nothing. What’s so wrong that our young think they have to kill to be heard at all? Fucking why, have innocent died? We’re truly sorry. Respect to you. And our love to you, and we hope that you make it through. But fuck those two that fucking put you through insane shit that you should have never had to go through. Weak-minded motherfuckers."


James Cummings hosts Death Metal Disco, a comedy podcast born from the chaotic intersection of seemingly opposite ideas. The title itself is a clue: this isn't a show about one specific thing, but rather the delightful and absurd collision of high-intensity passions with everyday life. Episodes meander through a wide-ranging mix of topics-you might find a deep dive into a cult horror film followed by a heated debate about the best roadside diner pie, or a travel story gone awry that somehow loops back to an obscure metal album. It’s the shenanigans, the hootenanny, and the general hullabaloo of just being a person with eclectic interests. The conversation is less an interview format and more like pulling up a chair with a friend who has strong, often hilarious opinions about everything from music and movies to food and philosophy. Listening to this podcast feels like being in on an inside joke that somehow makes the whole world seem funnier. James guides these freewheeling discussions with a comedic voice that finds the weird in the mundane and the relatable in the extreme. It’s a space for unstructured curiosity and laughter, where the only real rule is that nothing is too serious or too silly to talk about. The result is a consistently surprising and entertaining audio experience that defies easy categorization, much like a disco beat dropped into a death metal song.
