I'm just hoping he doesn't show til 1:00. Then I can go to the pub and watch the Yankees.

[realmenhatelife]

In music news an all drummer supergroup has formed called Drumgasm, I cant wait to hear that.

It's the guy from Soundgarden/Pearl Jam, Janet Weiss from Sleater Kinney/Wild Flag, and the guy from Hella/Death Grips, which are both somewhat experimental.

It's going to be loud and amazing.

[realmenhatelife]

Here's the secret. It's not that there were a lot of great bands in the 90s, it's that record companies saw they could monetize independant bands and then started signing and promoting them. They were there before, they were there after, but the financial model made them extra visible at that point. Truth bomb.

Shelby rules! Love the energy and funny he brings out of Ron. :thumbup:

Sad contrast to when the caller asked about Fez, and you could hear the life drain out of Ron's voice. :down:

[LeedsJr]

Ron: "Most work is conversation."

I almost never talk to anybody to do my job.

[LeedsJr]

Since I've been listening to them wheeze and gasp for so long, I haven't even noticed them smoking the fake cigarettes. :happy:

[LeedsJr]

When Ron was doing his bit about giving his mom shit about the 3 little pigs story, and Shelby threw in: "Get the fuck out of my room", I almost fell out of my chair. :lol:

[Gutter]

yea, cause people that don't smoke never waste any company time at all. and 5 breaks is way friggin high. I take one smoke break aside from the one I have during lunch.

I have some of their music in my iTunes, but Counting Crows are absolute shit live. I took an extra ticket last minute a few years ago when a couple friends had someone drop out, and they were outperformed in every way by their openers, Maroon 5.

(not a concert I'm proud to admit I attended, at least it was free)

Do you want it in cash, e-cigs, or bitcoins?

This was before Maroon 5 dude had all his tattoos, so I was able to contain myself.

Actually, can I have it in work around the house? My shower needs to be re-caulked.

I had a completely different concert experience when I saw them. A few years ago they did a minor league baseball park tour with LIVE and Collective Soul, we were in Ohio at the time so went to the Dayton Dragons park and saw them, I was just a casual fan at that point, but their live show caused me to buy a couple of albums.
Of course I didn't have to compare them with the likes of Maroon 5.

[sailor]

Doesn't Ron openly despise counting crows, or am I thinking of another band?

[realmenhatelife]

Duritz is a much better interview than I thought he'd be. Still hate his band. But he's a pretty humble guy, when Ron tries to ball wash him he deflects it.

The band actually sounded fine, it was Duritz mumbling half-heartedly through the whole thing that ruined it. And who needs a mumbly, 12-minute version of "Long December"?

[deliciousV]

no, he has referred to them as a guilty pleasure.

[realmenhatelife]

Ron really understates the success of bands like The Pixies though. They weren't U2 but they were on all the tastemaker's radars. They didn't get rich but when Frank Black and The Breeders put out albums they drew lots of attention because they were in the Pixies, and those were both financially successful projects.

[deliciousV]

I guess they can't be "on" every night, when we saw them there had been a rain delay before they came on, they opened with Rain King and pretty much killed it from there. Strong set all around

[sailor]

no, he has referred to them as a guilty pleasure.

Really, I thought he always had contempt for long December when they played it.

[realmenhatelife]

For some reason I really hate the phrase "see you next time coming through."

[deliciousV]

Really, I thought he always had contempt for long December when they played it.

he actually insisted that he be told when they were about to play "Rain King" the time they were in the fish bowl, and he took a long break to run down and see them. Am I the only one who remembers things? Because I drink, a lot, so if my memory is better than the rest of you, shame on you and I can step it up some.

[realmenhatelife]

This kid is talking baseball pitching prodigys and his two examples are Doc Gooden and Joba Chamberlin. He's gonna fit in on the Davey Mac sports program.

[Lemieux66]

Really, I thought he always had contempt for long December when they played it.

I think I remember what you're referring to.

A few years back (3-4 minimum) they started playing Long December multiple times per day, every day in the month of December. Not sure why. But it was pretty funny how at first they were into it, then eventually grew to despise it.

Holy shit two more guests still.

At least this means I can get in a few more episodes of Arrested Development.

I don't get to listen as much anymore, so I miss a lot. Hence, me remembering shit from years ago and thinking it's the current situation.

[realmenhatelife]

Oh sweet jeepers, mike zito now?

[Warren Peace]

Mike Zito may be the only guest to have taken Ron's "we'll see you the next time coming through" line seriously.

[LeedsJr]

Might as well have another!

Holy shit.....I just found out that Chris May, the tattoo artist who did my George Carlin tattoo is going to be on the new season of Ink Master. I'm definitely starting a thread for the season later.

Nice, he'll be hanging out with Dave Navarro's beard. Ink Master is definitely the tougher of the two shows.


Line work, Line work, Line work. Oliver Peck is a prick about Line work.

It'll be a beard war. And, yea I couldn't imagine producing something that gets that scrutinized under that much time constraint. Tough show with some really good artists once the first four or five get the boot. I just can't figure out why Navarro with all the garbage ink he has displayed has anything to do with the show.

It could be whats his face from Fall Out Boy. Ink Master is tough because they wont let them tattoo in just one style, so they wind up booting really good people.

Navarro is the bridge for the mainstream viewer, I guess. I happened upon season 2 by accident and really enjoyed it, but I sure as hell didn't know who Oliver Peck and the other guy were beforehand. I stopped on it because I remembered hearing about Dave Navarro's tattoo show.

But yeah he's a bad example of good ink. The one tattoo of his that I really like is "I have one but not by choice" on his shoulder, because that's just a really neat story.

[jennysmurf]

Can I trade Mike Zito for Mark Zito?:dry:

[Gutter]

It could be whats his face from Fall Out Boy. Ink Master is tough because they wont let them tattoo in just one style, so they wind up booting really good people.

I think the season 1 winner got away with that the whole time. Whatever style they wanted them to ink, he just did it in black and grey. There was a noticable emphasis on that not happening the following season.

[Gutter]

Sounds like its worth a google.

Ron must owe Zito a bunch of money from back in the day...cannot figure another reason he'd be on the show this often

It seems like the guests have addiction issues; maybe Ron needs a meeting or two to stay off the pipe.

Tragically, I think it's because Ron enjoys this. And The Most Boring Sports Guy Ever. And Hard Rock Boring. And HT Boring. And G Boring.


Years ago, I became a fan of a really funny radio show.
Then, one of the hosts lost his mind, and the other became a smug, beret-wearing, pretentious, pseudo-intellectual, hipster.

Oh well, back to the pub! :drunk:

this is pretty much how I feel, the show has evolved, it's no longer all about wrestling and other TV shows, Ron has gotten older and doesn't seem to want to do a constantly silly show, "you know who" has nothing to offer in the realm of music, film, or books. I'll listen to whatever they do, and I'd listen to Ron read a phone book, he's still the funniest man on the radio.

Yesterday, I listened to part of the show on my phone app in the car for the first time. When I heard Ron, I involuntarily smiled--I love hearing him, and I miss listening in the car.
