Kate Cooper on O&A...

[Sue_Bender]

I was going to let it go....BUT...

They HAVE to fill time with something, after all.

All weekend long this "interview" is a featured highlight. Really?

She stinks. Her songs are rambling (albeit breathy) ruminations of a middle school girl.

Boring as shit with bad production.

She is worshiped, sans any irony.

How is this shit a HIGHlight?

The b,b,b,b,b, boys are REAL edgy.

The music stinks, and most importantly... the lyrics are embarrassing. It goes nowhere but samey-town.

Am I ALONE?!! (I'll assume I'm hyper-critical)

:wacko:

That should answer your questions.

I agree, but after she leaves the studio...and Jimmy doesn't get to fuck her...

why replay it all weekend long?

[meanmrbill]

I agree. Jimmy and Anthony's adolescent questions are tired and boring. Sounds just like every other interview they conduct when a hot woman is in the studio. It seems like every time I've turned on XM this weekend this shit has been on.

[Dirtbag]

I don't know why any of the interviews make best-of. Even on the off chance that one of their interviews is good, its good once. I hate hearing them 500 times.

Thats funny. My XM has like over 200 channels. I think your unit must be broken

i think the biggest problem is that the O&A staff has no idea what a highlight is.

i think the best O&A highlights is just them in studio with a good comedian just bullshitting. Nothing special. That stuff never makes highlights

even when you listen to "worst ofs" when they are on vacation, they have these weird segments from years ago that are so not worth playing. Its not worth playing a George Romero interview..sorry, i love the guy but there is no reason to hear it again, especially since that interview was 3 years old. Or when they do themes, like "the best of travis"...Travis may have had a total of 20mins of airtime is whole time with the show and non of them are really "best of" material but they play it all the time.

i think they think "well, this sounds like a highlight" because its an interview with an MMA fighter or something but the truly funny stuff just disappears

[Chigworthy]

Interviews have never been a highlight. Especially ones which only serve to give Jimmy jack material for later. The way they interspersed fervent questions about her sexual practices with other stuff was embarassing; you could almost hear Jimmy touching his dick. Enough with the shock jock horseshit, do a fucking comedy show if we have to listen to it four times a week.

[nate1000]

didn't hear the interview, but if it was anything like her bio:


"Born during an electric storm in a hospital elevator, I arrived on the scene charged with life. Some years later, never mind how long precisely, with little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see what the watery world of music had to offer. It is in this way I discovered Janis Joplin, Etta James, Big Mama Thornton and all the other rebel divas that taught me how to sing. I bounced between high schools like a pin ball in a music video for The Who. By this time I ventured away from the Operatic training of my youth, leaving my teacher at the Washington Opera, to study jazz at the Levine Music Conservatory. I account much of my success to being kicked out of my second to last high school where I was required to take a series of tests. This resulted in a still active membership to MENSA and being skipped ahead and graduating high school at the age of 16 and heading to NY. Upon arriving in NYC I though it was high time I moved on musically and took on Deborah Harry's coach Barbara Maier to breath the life rock n' roll into my blood. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to rock n' roll. In NY, I played in various bands all over the city at venues such as Arlene’s Grocery, CBGBs and Don Hills. Eventually, I found myself on the other side of the stage working as a ghostwriter and a talent booker. When I found myself involuntarily stopping in bars during the day; and having a hard time preventing myself from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off-then I accounted it was high time I return to the stage as soon as possible. In a desperate and immediate act (which I find are always the best ones), I quit my job, loaded my car with everything I owned and took to the road with my beloved Pit Bull Roxy Bone Snatcher the II . I landed in DC where I have been living for the past year while fronting the DC/Baltimore based band The Fortune Tellers and performing with The Aggrolites, Bad Brains, Everybody Out! (a band featuring founding Dropkick Murphys guitarist Rick Barton and Dead Pets / LCA front man Chris ‘Sweeney’ Todd), The Slackers, CHOPTEETH, Westbound Train and The PiETASTERS. I have now come full circle and am returning to NY May 2009... rock on!"

That is the worst paragraph I've ever waded through. :annoyed:

[paulisded]

Well, it was mildly more entertaining than their 20 minutes on Chickenfoot.

[burrben]

i thought their interview with forrest griffin a couple weeks ago was really good. but thats about it.

Is that the MMA guy? I always tune out when those guys are on.

[GreatAmericanZero]

i turn off the station when its an MMA guy or a wrestler on the air. I don't even make a big deal about it anymore...its just "we have an MMA guy on" and i go straight to music

its just always the same. Jimmy will ask him "you seem like a problem...what if another guy was hitting on your chick?" They never have anything interesting to say...it fuckin' sucks

it is frustrating that something like that, just cuz someone came in studio it will always make the "best of the week" and "worst of segments". I think it should all be comedy. I can understand for the sake of the live show that not everything has to be funny and they can get serious and give a serious interview...but for reruns i think they should just stick to the comedy

[foodcourtdruide]

". Some years later, never mind how long precisely, with little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see what the watery world of music had to offer."


I think this sentence needs another comma.

Yep, like Jimmy Fallon's twitter segment was on over and over this weekend. Sure, it was good that he called in on the day they were on his show, but it wasn't memorable enough to have repeated multiple times.

[Dirtbag]

I'm a huge MMA fan and I agree with you. Jimmy's right that most of them are "normal" guys and not typical spoiled athletes, but the flip side of that is that most of them are dull as dirt. Forrest is great though. If you're listening one of the 900 times they'll end up replaying it give that one a chance.

[beachbum]

Thats funny. My XM has like over 200 channels. I think your unit must be broken

Wow!That's the same model I have.

[tanless1]

granted, she was not great. maybe somthing will break for her. maybe if she tried heroin for a couple of years, and then tried kick'n. i just dont hear an edge. has potential though.
i think her biggest problem is she's pretty, nobody is willing to cringe lest it get in the way of a kind word from her.

Exactly brother...Dont like it, just change the channel. O and A wont hunt you down if you don't listen all weekend. I know during weekends I am usually listening only to the music stations on my XM. Might want to try the same pattern...

X2.

On the weekends I only stop if its R&F, and then only if its something I didn't hear.


I've said it before about O&A, 300 Producers and not one of them does shit. There "Worst ofs" really are. And most of the time the staff clips together THEMSELVES being in Studio.

Just awful. I am days away from cancelling my subscription all together because nobody even trys anymore. I'll audible R&F once in awhile to catch up.

It sounds like you have been had.

I agree to turn off programming you don't like but let's be frank here. ONLY reason many of us have the fucking service is 202. So when 202 is programmed poorly, has Jason Ellis' shit show shoved on there, has a lackluster SNV schedule and is generally fucked with, you don't think people are going to say something about it?

I'm glad I was busy this weekend, sounds like a horrible interview.

I listen to lots of music on the weekend...primarily on my ipod or through Simplify Media. But whenever I run some errands, I tend to turn on 202 and it's frustrating that almost all day Saturday is the same O&A bits over and over. Throwing in a R&F replay in the middle would add a bit of needed variety.

I agree. Every time I flip around XM music I get pissed off. DJ's that talk way too much, crappy rotation, don't feel like waiting for a radio station to play a good song when I can just go to my iPod. I've been very unimpressed with ever move Sirius has made after it's hostile take over of XM.

[Serpico1103]

This best of schedule sucks. Maybe do one 3 hour block of it, but to replay the same best of block over and over is turning The Virus into a Top 40 station.
