There’s only one true way to cure whatever sour thoughts you have, and that is to join in the victory lap for Cave Dweller Music’s single greatest audio output and ZED Digital flagship Tuesday night show, the Knuckledraggerzzz Extravaganza!

In a wee bit over 10 minutes, Matt will have a groundbreaking revelation about why Jared likes movies; Jared wants to go record shopping with Pat Finerty, and both of our broadcasters of buffoonery smash Spanish and Italian together to convince us that it’s just the same language with different levels of respect for tomatoes.

Music on the way from Between The Buried and Me, SPEED, Hole Dweller, The Postal Service, and Miserable Creature.

So we’ve just got word that Card Shops, Vault Games, and even some selected newsagents have started stocking Cave Dweller Music’s foremost radio program Knuckledraggerzzz Extravaganza trading cards! One of our listeners sent this photo of their most recent pack they found recently. Will you pull a Werner Herzog eating his own shoe; or will you find one half of the Sparks brothers? Let us know!

On the show last night; Jared goes in to a deep dive into how sick the new Sabrina Carpenter record is; Matt is comfortable with his position of not being super creative but knowing and cataloging creative people; and we revisit our favourite place on earth, the Aquarium!

Listen back to music from Ritual Mass, Sabrina Carpenter (obviously), Fell Omen, Opeth, and more.

Here at KDE, our brains may occasionally stop but our research does not! We are to here provide invaluable education to our listeners because we believe those who understand the unifying factors of dick and fart jokes, and the importance of being a swiwwy boy.

On tonight’s show of Cave Dweller Music’s premier form of radio idiocy; Jared tries to break down what makes the stoner variation of every genre; Matt admits to not enjoying dancing; and we will be versing things against things.

Music on the way from Afghan Haze, MEER, Audrey Hobert, End It, and sakanaction.

Tonight is a show that will make this man proud because it’s all about MEAT! What’s the best kind of meat? Is fish a real meat? Are ham and salami the same kind of meat?

It’s a meaty edition of Cave Dweller Music’s greatest exponent of radio idiocy, and it’s about to kick off.

On the show tonight, KDE reaches critical dingus as Zachary Ruane references Werner Herzog, Jared has seen a movie and wants to talk about weapons, and Matt hates callbacks.

Music tonight from Warpseer, Opeth, Atlantean Sword, Beast Machine, and more!

Why were we gone last week? Well Matt discovered what jabjab was and needed to do some cultural research, and Jared...well Jared went to his quiet place and took this glorious photo for us.

On tonight's instalment of Cave Dweller Music esteemed form of radio idiocy, the Knuckledraggerzzz return this evening with Matt being convinced that nobody actually looks good in a leather jacket; Jared thinks about questions that can be asked to Don Frye, and they both look at finding some absolute sword and sorcery gems on YouTube.

They serve the public in their professional lives, and they serve the public in their radio lives. Our front running fools, and champions of Cave Dweller Music’s premier form of radio idiocy Matt and Jared return in just over an hours time!

On tonight’s show, we have possibly the most vindicating news in the history of the show; Matt struggles to work out if he has progressed, regressed, or just gressed; and Jared continually tempts Matt with more prog rock.

Music tonight from Tigran Hamasyan, Pestilential Shadows, Valhalore, Phantoms G.D.L, and more.

A live look at how Matt gets brought to Bug Curse Records most nights. The grumpy git will join up with the true savant of the silly Jared in under two hours time to bring you the show that remains at the forefront of Cave Dweller Music’s auditory output, The Knuckledraggerzzz Extravaganza.

On tonight’s show; Jared talks about his plans to score Drew McIntyre vs. CM Punk’s Hell in a Cell match; Matt continues on his journey of trying to find things he likes in things he hates by listening to a prog record; and they both look at what Wangdangers are, and why lovely lad Justice Yeldham can’t stand them.

There’s a change in the air! It could be that we are dealing with a surprise second dosage of Brisbane winter; it could be that we are in the middle of school holidays; or it could be the fact that KDE has just begun their third season on ZED Digital and continues to be the flag bearer for Cave Dweller Music’s greatest radio show of all time. Knowing the prowess of our two digital dorks, they’ll make sure it’s all three.

On tonight’s show, they recruit a member of Worm House to investigate posers, Matt tries to explain his hatred for seals as the most overrated aquarium thing; and Jared tells us how much he is willing to spend on a vinyl if the right one appeared before him.

Music on the way from Dragonforce, Sparks, Bolt Cutter, Be***al Warlust, and more!

Now that we have been thoroughly reestablished ourself back Bug Curse, we will go back to focussing our efforts on conducting research in to crucial and oft ignored topics for Cave Dweller Music (and the greater good).

One that we’re looking at this evening comes courtesy of Jared; he has found a playlist consisting of a wide range of band that challenge people who say “they listen to all kinds of music”. Now we are wondering if these people actually listen to Wesley Willis, Steven Segal, or Lucille Bogan. We trust our audience enough to challenge them.

Also on tonight’s show, Jared talks about what he’s done to improve his life lately, Matt talks about Nic Cage going from meme status to actually respected movie man, and they both try to understand the mindset of a reddit user.

Music tonight from Draugveil, Carpathian Forest, JAFFA the Big Man, and bongbongbeerwizard.

Jared is noticeable by his absence from this week's edition of what we've been told by inside sources at Cave Dweller Music is their favourite thing to do on a Tuesday evening, and that includes playing the new Warhammer game or deadlifting 250kg+ for reps. Better than both of them!

With the two hours of premier boofhead broadcasting down, Matt has happily slid in to one of his favourite habits; list collation! It's the second week of June so he thought it the best time to look at his favourite records of the year thus far. Alongside broadcasting his opinion and then in turn making his thoughts a referable subject, he finally names where he broadcasts the solo shows from, has promised to only make one sports reference (hello Lord Stanley, indeed how are you?), and he's told us that he has some kind words for those who wish to say farewell to the sesh.

Music tonight from S***m, Mortuary Drape, LEATHERMAN, and Sadistik Exekution.

In what is becoming a really lovely yearly tradition for Cave Dweller Music's leading form of radio idiocy, Matt and Jared get to sit down with their close personal best friends Sparks to talk about their latest record. It's long been one of the core tenets of the Knuckledraggerzzz Extravaganza that more people need to listen to Sparks because they're the greatest band of all time so here's our duo of dullards living in line with their core values.

Alongside conversing with the greatest band of all time, Matt wants a research grant so he can be psychoanalysed; Jared has returned to the land of heavy circles, and they both giggle about their former habits.

Music on the way from Fugitive, Discount Code, Valtozash, and, obviously, Sparks.
