Anyone else tap out of the Laurie Anderson interview.

Ooh-Fah :blink:

[STC-Dub]

No, just you.

[Devo37]

i audible and listen a day later, so i haven't heard it yet, but i'm not too optimistic.

"performance art" is generally pretty bad, imo.

[A buck 380]

I went in knowing knowing nothing of her and I am not going to run out and grab all her cd's but i found he interview quite enjoyable.

they started the show with one of her songs, unless i'm mistaken, and it was painful.

[StanUpshaw]

I haven't heard it yet, but I already find it interminable.

I haven't heard it yet, but I'm wondering how long it will be before someone uses the phrase "too cool for the room".

To make the show worse at the end they had some lame band and when one guy was talking he wasn't even on mic. Another segment I had to skip.

[dereckfishboy]

I generally try to go deep with my music, the avant garde shit is usually my cup of tea but I had to punch out on the opening song. I though it had potential to be cool but 30 seconds in the repetition got too much for me and I had to pull the cord.

I punched out as well. In a vague way it reminded me of that wannabee Philip Warhol Glass. Meh,

Me personally, I really need substance.
It is, after all, all about me.



Isn't it?

post 7.

[hanso]

Was there any show after it?

[Slim Anus]

I'l be honest, i skip through all the interviews. If anyone wants to know what the show would be like if Fez left, check out Ron Bennington interviews or Unmasked.

http://www.upcominghorrormovies.com/uhm/images/smilies/sleeping3.gif

[Death Metal Moe]

I had it on. I have no idea who she is. Ron is a good interviewer but if I don't know the person I usually zone out.

And it was a VERY LONG interview compared to most of the ones I've heard before.

[hanso]

So no show after it then?

[deliciousV]

It pains me to say it, but lets be honest, yesterdays show was a bust. A long interveiw with some self important chick who nobody cares about, and an hour set from a blues band nobody knows.
I've never even had the thought before that a R and F show was bad, but this time I did. But since they've been on XM I've heard every show, and downloaded and listened to most of their pre XM stuff, so one bad show in all that time is a pretty good record.

[Death Metal Moe]

So no show after it then?

Yes, there was show after it. Not sure how long after the interview but that band came in. I didn't get to hear it so I'm not sure if it was a live on air interaction or another pre-recorded interview.

[TheRealDray]

I went to lunch during the Anderson interview, not to intentionally skip the interview just worked out that way. That first song did nothing for me, I listened first minute or so, had to change the channel. Switched back hoping to hear North Americans, but still heard
"huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh......................."

I thought the usual show, ichiban segment etc was pretty solid.

I got back from lunch and actually enjoyed the Vagabond Soles music. I thought they were strong.

[teej]

I didn't enjoy it at all, and tuned out. I have a hard time listening to any artist/celebrity when they talk politics. But, the Robert Randolf interview was super! If you don't know him, check them out. He's got tons of live material on the Live Music Archive. And of course a NEW CD out

I would just rather hear R&F b.s. with themselves or the callers. Fridays segments are as bad as when Hoo Hoo had boring porn chicks or those stupid Miss Howard TV chicks.

[dommer]

I'm listening to it now and came on to post about this self-important bitch who utters a whole lot of words but isn't saying shit. I was interested to learn from her that after 9/11 nobody wanted to get Bin Laden until Bush fooled us all. Which is it, was he an idiot too stupid to be president, or an evil mastermind that tricked us all into two wars? These fucking whining libs can't have it both ways.

[disneyspy]

i got alot of stuff done during yesterdays show

I can understand the artist's need to be different, but somewhere down the line this chick never picked up the need to still be aesthetically pleasing.

[Kublakhan61]

The artist shouldn't NEED to be different. An artist does what they do and the public chooses to consume it or not.

I haven't heard the interview yet but I'm a big fan her work - and find her to be wholly pleasing in an aesthetic sense. That's Kant's sense of aesthetics though, I'm not sure we all follow the same philosophical notions of art.

[TripleSkeet]

I tapped out a minute into it. Not only was she boring as shit but her voice was fucking annoying.

[CardiffGiant]

Haven't listened yet (saving it for Monday's workday since I also use audible). I remember hearing some of her music on Fred (the old XM 44) back before the merger and it was WEIRD stuff but I sort of dug it so I'm curious to hear this to see just how nutty she is.

[spoon]

I tapped out a minute into it. Not only was she boring as shit but her voice was fucking annoying.

yep, like most of the recent "ladies" on the show

As for the music, I'd rather go with the less repetitive but cool sounds of Sigur Ros, Four Tet or something less weird for weird's sake.

Not my thing, but I never mind checking something out whether it sticks or not. Not all guests will be up my ally, and I get that. Hope those that like her enjoyed it.

[Sue_Bender]

I tapped out a minute into it. Not only was she boring as shit but her voice was fucking annoying.

60 seconds and you tapped out?

BORING as shit?!

Annoying as shit, I'll give you...but you respond like a fucking idiot.

You most be one hyperactive SOB.


You must hate the show, since it takes 2.5 hours to get going.

[Slim Anus]

I smell Payola.

Why The Fuck would they (SirusXM) have such a boring and no name, gimmick "interpretive artiste" other than to take money from her label to promote her shitty music. Not only that but to give her as much air time as she got tells me someone got paid off her painfully long segment.

[hanso]

Bump in the ratings.

I have a response, but I'll immediately be yelled at for being a know it all about radio.

I will just succinctly say you're wrong and you have really no idea what you're talking about.

[sailor]

The tiny bits I heard, Ron seemed to genuinely enjoy her stuff. If so, I don't think he'd care if no one else was interested. No payola needed.

OK, here is my response, better laid out:

Ron has done a ton of interviews with Grade Z people we don't know or care about. The hope is to appeal to more people. Just because you haven't heard of them or they are unappealing to you doesn't mean payola.

Besides, payola as it was defined in Allen Freed's day is a dead concept. It's a lot more shades of gray now, instead of money under the table for spins.

Besides, her label is an indy. They don't have any money to create payola ANYWAY.

[StanUpshaw]

It's Ron being a evangelist of "hip".

Nothing more.

[Ritalin]

Would it be surprising that Ron is interested in Laurie Anderson and wanted to hear what she had to say? She's pretty old school downtown scene, and Ron's into that.

I haven't heard the interview yet, but I'm a fan of hers, and I can definitely see how she could be boring. A lot of that downtown crowd can be.

[oPant]

The only interesting fact was that she was married to Lou Reed but that wasn't even enough to make me listen.

[Slim Anus]

I would say either XM Sirius took money to have her on the Ron and Fez show or Ron has a shitty taste in guests as of late.

No. Ron seems to be into a virtual heterogeneity of different things.


The only suprise is that some people are suprised.

[oPant]

Ron loves to be "too cool for the room" that's why he had her on the show. That's also the reason you almost never hear him laugh in the studio when someone says something funny.

I too was at lunch during the Laurie Anderson interview, but came back to a band singing "rain, rain go away come back another day" and just switched to a music channel.

[Sue_Bender]

Perhaps you have shitty taste in radio shows.

[Death Metal Moe]

Ron has always just had on who he wants to interview or interesting people that were available in the building for different reasons. Why are we doing a conspiracy theory discussion?

It may not have been everyone's favorite interview, fine. I won't fault you for not liking it, it wasn't one of my favorites either. I had no idea who she was and it went on far too long.

But to start suspecting Ron of shit with this one interview? I'd say more often than not I don't know the person Ron's interviewing but I usually give it a chance because he's a great interviewer and he can get me interested in what the person is talking about.

In other words, I trust Ron to bring us interesting interviews. If you don't, then don't listen. No problems either way.

Um, Laurie Anderson is pretty far from a "no name" artist. She's pretty well respected in the avante garde world. I didn't hear the interview, and I'm not a fan of hers, but I have no doubt that Ron had her on because he wanted her on. If you want to play the "too cool for the room" card, fair enough, but I the payola accusation is retarded.

I maybe the oldest person on the board. I remember her from the early 70's. Wasn't a fan of her though but I respect a person to perform music the way they see and feel. it I didn't punch out, but then I did some stuff around the house from time to time and would listen. To each his own. My husband was a musician, he had some friends in others bands where I thought WTF. But I respected them. Shit, I remember seeing Todd Rundgren with an old bf. It was in a small theatre in NYc aroung 1980. I think it was called a Man and his Piano. From what I heard he was the 1st musician to use video behind him. It totally freaked me out.

Her voice reminded me of Bob Ross the painter - "Now we have a squirrel that lives in the tree - in our happy world"

I dont understand when someone says this is the result of payola anyone takes the time to address that as a serious point. If I said ketchup is farmed by drilling ketchup wells on the moon, and the apollo missions were actually funded by heinz as a counterpoint to all the work hunts was already doing in Russia you wouldn't feel the need to explain to me how thats wrong, and show me pictures of tomato fields and old recipes, talk to me about the mother sauces and anthropologically how and why ketchup developed, you'd just ignore how wrong I was being.

[LordJezo]

I came on here to say that opening was the greatest song used to start the show in several years, normally I skip over them as they are pretty bad or generic. I am listening to this show on Audible and haven't even made it past the opener yet as I have repeated it half a dozen times already.

It's beautiful, very calming, and has an amazing sound to it, so unique and wonderful. I need this on my mp3 player for late night driving.

Great comparison since one has actually happened so much it helped destroy radio, while the other is just a complete utter failed attempt at a joke/point combo. Nice work!

[Zipgun]

You're a cunt, how about that? Just because you don't know her, doesn't mean shit. You think anyone knows who the fuck you are? She's extremely well respected as an artist whether you like her or not.

On top of that, I doubt that Ron gives anything resembling a fuck what you think. For him personally, he sat and talked with a person that he finds interesting. Maybe some other people will find it interesting as well or maybe they won't. Leave that up to the listener. But Godfuckingforbid anyone tries to expand peoples horizons beyond a fucking lolcat website and shit talking radio shows they supposedly like. I'd rather sit through an interview with her or anyone of her ilk any fucking day before whatever douchebag of the week making the talk show circuits telling the same fucking story over and over again or some UFC meathead or porn chick pushing a magazine layout.

And if it was a half hour with Justin Bieber then maybe there could be a discussion. But it wouldn't make any sense to spend money or favors to push a woman who has absolutely no expectations to sell records. What they offer would have to be proportionate to their return, which would be a ludicrous business proposition. I'm saying recognize when someone is baiting you, then dont take that bait.

The point isn't whether it happened here in this case or not, I could fucking care less. However, don't go and act like it hasn't happened at ALL LEVELS with ALL TYPES OF ACTS in the past so you couldn't possibly even hint at it here. I think it was mainly said to make a point on how bad they thought the guest was, nothing more. Still, I won't dismiss it be you believe she has no interest in selling music or being seen?! Ha!

Isn't that exactly the point? I dont think Mr. Anus is making a dramatic point, he's saying explicitly and repeatedly that Laurie Anderson was on Ron and Fez in exchange for money or favors. If anything Laurie Anderson was the favor for some other bullshit.

She has no interest in selling a Beiber amount of records or having Gaga levels of exposure. She, and everyone around her, understand how narrow her audience is, her style is actually defined by being challenging and inaccesible. If you were going to break the law and increase her profile you should probably start by putting her on a music chanel, one whose audience is not primarily in the New York area where she probably has her highest level of exposure already, and dont waste your resources on a guy who is obviously tickled to interview her already. It would be the most poorly thought out case of fraud ever to happen in radio.

[OGC]

I've been listening to the show on audible for a few months and am usually about a day or two behind, so I saw this thread before I heard the interview. I have to admit when I found that Laurie Anderson was going to be interviewed, I groaned and actually thought about skipping that day's show. I had heard of her and thought that she was one of those "out there" artsy types based on what others had said about her.

I listened to the show because I knew that there would be more to it than just the interview. The opening song intrigued me and made me want to hear the interview.

No, I can't see myself becoming a big Laurie Anderson fan, but I heard some interesting stuff. Ron always manages to make any interview good.

If people are at a point in their lifes where they close their minds to new things, I feel sorry for them

[CountryBob]

How about Ron interviews Willie Nelson - now that's one I wouldnt want to miss!

[Rhah]

I didn't like her but liked the Blues guy.

It doesn't really matter though, if Ron wants to interview someone he will

I dug the music and the interview.

Another win in my book for Ronnie B.
Never watched "No Reservations" until after the Bourdain interview.
Since then, it's become my favorite show on television.

Same kind of thing happened with Alton Brown and "Good Eats".

I'm one to pretty much instantly get annoyed when I start hearing a lot of political stuff so that was one of the reasons I skipped past the rest. Still though, anyone who thinks there's some big conspiracy is just plain wrong. Just the fact that she's married to Lou Reed who Ron absolutely loves is reason enough to know that he had a legitimate interest in having her on the show plus being generally into her stuff.

Worst interview ever.

How did you dopes find your way out of wackbag, a trail of breadcrumbs?

Hahaha - so on point.

Also, I didn't see this mentioned yet but Laurie Anderson is married to Lou Reed. Perhaps Ron found her via his love of Lou and when given the chance to sit with her, said yes.

Speaking of Lou Reed, Ron made a comment a couple of weeks ago that kind of irked me. It was a discussion about what albums you'd like to see performed live in their entirety. Rorschach called in and saying that he'd love to see The Velvet Underground & Nico live, and Ron acted like he was blown away that someone from Alabama would like VU. I realize it was a joke, but would people please stop acting like The Velvet Underground is some secret handshake of coolness already? The secret is out, folks.

Laurie Anderson was interviewed today on NPR and has been on other media outlets. She'd pushing a new album, I doubt its cause Ron likes her god awful music (if you can call it that).

Wait. So you think the interview was forced on him? I sincerely doubt that was the case.

I didn't listen to the interview or the show that day but just from reading this thread it would seem she has a new album and is on a press tour and maybe Ron got to interview somebody he likes because of that.

I liked the interview, I thought she was interesting. Robert Randolph intrigued me as well and I bought his album as a result of the interview.

Over the years I've checked out a ton of books, movies and music they've talked about. What more can you ask from a radio show?

Laurie Anderson's music isn't really my thing but I can appreciate why someone would be into it.

I don't like all the interview subjects. But, I do like being exposed to people that are off the mass media circuit.
If I want to hear what a prankster Clooney is, or that Stairway is the best song of all time, I know where to look. R&F pleasantly surprise me.
