OH ANNIE

[delgriffith]

I really love her a lot.

[badhat]

I was glad Maron was at least into the Kaufman mythology; if he had been combative or too probing it would've been a much more tedious interview.

totally true.

every bullshit story he offered up one "aw cmon" but then let it go and went along for the ride. really brilliantly walked the line i thought.

[badhat]

ok guys i listened to chelsea on wtf and am now on mercer

mercer is really boring but i'd listen to 40 more hours of it before i listen to chelsea do anything ever again

i dunno man, i checked out around the 45 minute mark. just couldn't do it.

[Cyril Sneer]

When Maron gets to the part about synthesizers! it reaches CYE levels of cringe

[badhat]

still better than chelsea.

mercer seems like an ok dude.

[badhat]

if you skipped the last half hour of zmuda you missed out.

[Markman]

Didn't listen to Chelsea (and glad I didn't it looks like)

Mercer wasn't bad. Not the best but no where near the worst guy. I always figured him to be an ass from the stories I've heard about him firing his band but he came off as pretty legit

[Feech La Manna]

Hitchens hologram on CBB wrecked me

[grammatron]

Submitted a story pitch to RISK! and got a polite "your pitch has been filed and who knows!" response. It was the Michael Miller story, for those of you who recall that from the Unsolved Mysteries thread. I didn't really expect it to get snatched up, but it would be cool to tell that story to a crowd.

[Durham]

Bugle this week was incredible

[Lowercase Tea]

OH ANNIE

this and her general attitude to CBB really makes it baffling that half of America hasn't already proposed to the girl.

[Markman]

Bugle this week was incredible

Bugle is consistently great. Probably #1 for me right now.

[Petty]

Marc Maron is on Fitzdog Radio and Greg asked him who he would hate to run into and he brings up John Stewart for a while

[grammatron]

Man I haven't listened to Fitzdog in ages. I think I thought he stopped doing it maybe.

[Petty]

I only listen to FitzDog when he's got a guest I'm into, but then they are always pretty good episodes and I think I should listen to it more often but then I don't

[neopolitan]

fitzsimmons usually does a hilarious job antagonizing maron.

[badhat]

really really loved wayne coyne on wtf.

none of the embarrassing maron talking about guitars and music culture shit...

just two bros talkin about performing and drugs

[Prof. Horatio Hufnagel]

I love how well they got on with each other

[jewels]

i liked when marc geeked out about guitars with what's her name.

[grammatron]

I listened to Wayne Coyne yesterday too. I love the guy anyway, but I really enjoyed listening to him. I find his positive outlook and sort of mystical view or music to be really refreshing. Plus I just like his voice.

[badhat]

i like the Lips a lot but wouldnt really call myself a fanboy or anything, though just through circumstances (festivals, opening for other bands etc) i've seen them over the years probably more than any other band (7-8 times i'd guess).

i guess i've never really heard coyne in conversation before and i was surprised how self-aware he is. i kinda pegged him for sort of an artsy flake.

[Markman]

Just got through the ferguson episode. Really good. Some interesting stuff about alcoholism and the guy is just awesome all around. Michael Cain and Sean Connery impressions were funny.

[badhat]

also i live under a rock so i didnt realize that "Do You Realize" was some big giant pop phenom

i thought they were still best known for she dont use jelly.

[Petty]

Is the secret alcoholism recovery thing that Maron and Ferguson talk about just A.A.?

[lostintheair]

yes

from speaking to "someone i may or may not be related to whom may or may not be in said organization" i always knew they are pretty serious about not revealing other people in the program, but i didnt know the anonymity extended to not speaking the name in a public manner

[badhat]

or to speak on behalf of the organization publicaly

[acapelli]

also i live under a rock so i didnt realize that "Do You Realize" was some big giant pop phenom

i thought they were still best known for she dont use jelly.

it was pretty big on the 50 first dates soundtrack

i think that might have been my first exposure to the lips actually

[grammatron]

It was in a Volkswagen commercial too.
