It's why I actually recorded the first version of this podcast with one. Then I chickened out. 291994@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Dec 2005 12:46:21 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-291961 I humbly appreciate the props, DJR. Especially on a Monday. Much better than a stocking full of fuck. Although both look good in writing. It is interesting how having a sidekick makes things seem easier. Although I think only Philip can get away with his wife as a regular. :o) I thought of singing the joke blues track... but then fear set in, so I spoke with a twang. Thanks. 291961@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Dec 2005 12:18:16 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-291922 Maybe just one... Muddy Waters is a better blues singer. But the podcast is still really good. 291922@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Dec 2005 11:36:16 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-291914 The wife to whom I am married wanted no part of appearing on my podcast. I don't blame her. She's heard my show. 291914@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Dec 2005 11:29:24 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-291910 As for some constructives... I... I can't do it. It's good, Mark. You have the best production sounds of any of the podcasts I have heard on here. You do some great remixes and sound effects. 291910@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Dec 2005 11:25:24 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-291902 I am glad I decided to re-record. I almost used the "Deeper Voice" as a sidekick. 291902@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Dec 2005 11:18:11 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-291896 Next year, you supply the Newcastles. That would be righteous. 291896@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Dec 2005 11:11:08 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-289411 Yeah, or do what I am about to do in the Christmas episode. I am raining huge fuck-ridden filth upon a worthy yet unsuspecting target and if any of the legions find out... I'll get their attention. 289411@blogcritics.org Thu, 15 Dec 2005 16:40:48 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-289396 That's the spirit! *tapping vein on arm* Give me more! More I say! :o) 289396@blogcritics.org Thu, 15 Dec 2005 16:03:21 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-289385 that was the post pathetic excuse for a podcast i've ever listened to. there. feel better now? 289385@blogcritics.org Thu, 15 Dec 2005 15:47:11 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-289383 DJR: Thanks man. I wasn't targeting you though. It's like that anomaly I mentioned before: I can tell on my webstats that the file was downloaded 16 times yesterday, yet it's tough to get any feedback from more than 1 or 2 people. Hell, I can't even get someone to rip it! Seems impossible to say that at BC, but it's a reality. Oh well. Maybe I need to start talking about politics. ;o) 289383@blogcritics.org Thu, 15 Dec 2005 15:41:05 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-289364 Dude, that's funny. I have it downloaded and am going to listen later today. 289364@blogcritics.org Thu, 15 Dec 2005 15:06:30 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-289337 WANTED: Single multicolored podcast seeks lasting relationship with criticism (Constructive or negative OK). Loves fine dining. No baggage. Enjoys travel. 289337@blogcritics.org Thu, 15 Dec 2005 14:35:43 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-288714 not in high school. Hall & Oates maybe. or maybe a little disco that i wouldn't have admitted to at the time (nobody woulda suspected anyway). prolly lotsa horrible stuff during the new wave era though. 288714@blogcritics.org Wed, 14 Dec 2005 13:18:08 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-288669 I confess to being a big Genesis, INXS, and Van Halen fan back in the 80's. While I can still listen to those albums now, I cannot help but hear elements of corniness to them. That's my point. You can't tell me you didn't to any bad pop back in the day... we all have sinned. And don't try to blame it on the chicks! 288669@blogcritics.org Wed, 14 Dec 2005 12:19:51 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-288656 screw that! i listened to some great stuff as a teen. the bad stuff came from my girlfriend back then. i had to put up with it because...well, you know. 288656@blogcritics.org Wed, 14 Dec 2005 12:06:31 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-288649 Here I thought the tipping point was that after you realized how bad some of the music you listened to as a teen was, that you could freely listen to any genre as an adult. 288649@blogcritics.org Wed, 14 Dec 2005 12:02:43 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-288629 the trick is to nail down the 'annoying music tipping point'. that is...you spend your youth listening to music that annoys the crap outa your parents. at some point, you have to begin listening to music that annoys everybody younger than yourself. good fun for the whole family, i say. 288629@blogcritics.org Wed, 14 Dec 2005 11:40:17 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-288625 It's actually a desperate cry for help, as I'm basking in the last 2 weeks of my twenties. After that, I'm officially ancient to the in-crowd. Of course, I could start lying about my age. 288625@blogcritics.org Wed, 14 Dec 2005 11:37:59 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-288618 hey! what's this "older people's music" crap?! ;-) kids these days! 288618@blogcritics.org Wed, 14 Dec 2005 11:31:23 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-288615 Thanks Saleski. I tried not to make fun of older people's music this time around. Actually, most of the Xmas music samples are from the 60's. What irony! Actually, I never realized as a kid that Boris Karloff was the narrator/singer of the Grinch cartoon special. It was a pretty cool discovery. 288615@blogcritics.org Wed, 14 Dec 2005 11:26:43 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-288598 as usual, fantastic stuff. 288598@blogcritics.org Wed, 14 Dec 2005 11:00:40 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/12/14/100346.php#comment-288576 You win. Downloading... 288576@blogcritics.org Wed, 14 Dec 2005 10:28:34 EST
