Untitled Music Podcast #2: The Difficult Second Podcast

Posted on 02.08.10 by Widge @ 3:32 am

So the podcast returns (earlier than I expected--I just now realized it's only been one week since the first episode--criminy, what a week). This one covers music and other transgressions and is co-hosted by Rob Levy, Tuffley and myself. Let us know what you think.

This episode's central topic is "The Difficult Second Album." Within you will find the the discussion of some bands that didn't get second albums and should have, along with some bands that did that probably shouldn't have. Also discussed: break-up songs, "We Are the World," musical biopics, Roy Orbison, Grammys, Edison, and a serious request for Warren Ellis to take steps.

"Here's Tom With the Weather..."

Posted on 02.04.10 by Widge @ 3:57 am

A broadcast from 1973 and WLS out of Chicago. At first when I saw this I thought it might be Twitter-worthy but maybe not post-worthy. Sure, it's scary retrotastic, what with the hair, the powder blue blazers, the Spinning Cube of Meteorological Knowledge, and other such fun. See if you can see what line made the clip transcend. Answer after the vid.

In the meantime, check out the aforementioned blazers with the "7" logo on them. These guys could be two members of a DC team appearing in Showcase or something, you know?

My Advice: Rent It

Demetri Martin's comedic style is firmly in the observational school, like Steven Wright without the drone or Mitch Hedberg without the contact high. Martin's doesn't restrict himself to the standard stand-up mold though. In his Comedy Central special Demetri Martin: Person, he uses a large pad to illustrate some of surreal observations. He is performs musical accompaniment with the piano, guitar, harmonica, and some brightly colored toy bells.

Stuff Bulletin: Criterion Massive Going Out of Print Sale

Posted on 02.02.10 by Widge @ 1:01 pm

Okay, a few quick things I wanted to make you aware of so you could get going on them if you choose to.

Apparently, The Criterion Collection is losing the license to a crapload of titles. They're putting them on sale, $5 off each one. Below the jump, at the very end of this post, I'll give you a full list with links to the Criterion Collection's store. Snag them while you can. Please note: these aren't Amazon links, as Criterion is currently giving you the better deal, and I'd rather you got the better deal than me get the kickbacks. However, Amazon has a tendency to beat online sales when they become aware of them, so you might comparison shop before you pull the trigger. Last Criterion sale if Criterion had something on sale for, say 20%, Amazon would go 21%. So just FYI.

Also, something that is at Amazon is the complete series of Six Feet Under, which is their deal of the day. It's 62% off today and while stocks last, so that brings it down from $179.98 to $67.99. So move on that if you so choose.
