Cant Stop

[sailor]

Won't stop

Groove via continuation.

[realmenhatelife]

Steely Dan, oh no this may mean a Donald Fagen interview.

[realmenhatelife]

Liking Steely Dan is way more hipstery than not liking Steely Dan.

[realmenhatelife]

Shit, I was right.

[LeedsJr]

Steely Dan, oh no this may mean a Donald Fagen interview.

Dot Net Psychic! Dot Net Psychic!

Oh, and... :wallbash:

[LeedsJr]

Shit, I was right.


To talk about a book about hipsters?!? God, this sounds awful.

[sailor]

When is interview starting? Wasn't he on within the past month or two?

[CountryBob]

hi all - having a good day?
Good.

[realmenhatelife]

When is interview starting? Wasn't he on within the past month or two?

Havent announced it but they do seem to be in a holding pattern so maybe they're waiting on him.

They probably replayed the last one he did, it used to make best ofs.

[sailor]

I thought I remembered fairly recently you complaining about him coming in. Could have been one of dozens of other aging rockers though.

Maybe the old drummer who couldn't talk.

Yep, just took my break, so there's his intro music.

[realmenhatelife]

When is interview starting? Wasn't he on within the past month or two?

Bringing him in now.

[sailor]

Bringing him in now.

Yeah, my fault. I'm now enjoying the first 20 minutes of the show.

[hanso]

hi all - having a good day?
Good.

Well if you say so.

[sailor]

Isn't a bad crowd also the performer's fault? Especially if they're showing up to see them? Like o&a always bitching about their fans being dicks? Like if they're just there and not into you, sure you can call it a bad crowd for you, but if they're paying to see you and THEN not into you...maybe you suck.

Oh, and love the PKD.

[CountryBob]

pretty cool jam

[CountryBob]

BORING! don't like his voice.
KILL HIM KILL HIM!

In my experience there is such thing as a bad crowd HOWEVER 9 times out of 10 the crowd being bad is somehow the band's fault. Like you booked a venue you shouldn't have, you've alienated your good crowd, you're putting out a product that only attracts shitty crowds like "only playing their hits!" or they are feeding off the bands low enthusiasm.

All of our exposure is through pitchfork and now we're pissy on stage because we're looking at a sea of iphone screens.... Yeah man, thats your fault not theirs.

[sailor]

BORING! don't like his voice.
KILL HIM KILL HIM!

When he was on in July, RMHL said steely dan was ear garbage. Print it!

[CountryBob]

SO who is this guy?

[realmenhatelife]

I make no secret of my feelings for Steely Dan. (The bands not the eponymous fictional dildo.)

[CountryBob]

what in the holy fuck is this guy even talking about???
Im so sick of the whole - corporations are bad shit...

I would go to the pub if I had one nearby.

At least they had the decency to start the awful interview after 12:00 yesterday so I could go to the pub.

[sailor]

He starts most listening threads... :rimshot:

Why I never!






This interview is as long as a Steely Dan song.

[realmenhatelife]

They're playing him out now.


40 minute interview, damn.

[sailor]

I cant tell if you're correcting punctuation or grooving.

Just noticed that was the tread title. I was working off the "can't stop"

[LeedsJr]

They're playing him out now.


40 minute interview, damn.


And now we'll get the extra half hour of Ron reminiscing about the interview he just did, and taking calls telling him how he is the greatest interviewer of all time. :sleep:

[realmenhatelife]

The Seahawks play in NY in a few weeks so we'll see if cold weather fucks them up.

[realmenhatelife]

Rose McGowen was all kinds of naked in Doom Generation.

[LeedsJr]

Didn't Ron say something yesterday about not being as mad at Fez because he was rested from the break?

That wore off fast. :tongue:

[deliciousV]

Ron knows a guy who popped Viagra "just to jack" , ladies and gentlemen, I give you Jim Norton, giver of advice.

[RADIO-SHARK]

doing all those shows I hope he doesn,t have a heart attack ack ack ack:devil2:

[realmenhatelife]

I think Billy Joel does 13 months.

[sailor]

Isn't this just like getting a Vegas show?

And I don't think something like this would fit the whole phish vibe.

[sailor]

Doesn't Joel already do a ton of shows back to back at the garden? Or is that Springsteen?

[LeedsJr]

They've both done long runs at the Garden. Nothing open-ended, though.

And this is some boring fucking radio right here. Bad show today. And the damn bar is full at my pub. Things are not going my way today.

I could ask my pub to set up a phone bank, and you guys can call in and donate pints! :drunk:

[sailor]

I liked gosling in blue valentine, which I just saw over break.

[sailor]

You know him from his brother's batman. Ha!

[jennysmurf]

crabby pants

Yeah, kinda. I'm still a bit jetlagged, but I agreed to meet my trainer today at 10:30, and I'm not very excited about it.

[jennysmurf]

But if the bar is full, where would you drink them?:glurps:

[LeedsJr]

I'll head back around 1:30. The ham n' eggers should have cleared out by then. :drunk:

[sailor]

Doesn't Ron just mean "he has a chick?"

[sailor]

Does this mean Defoe is coming in?

[LeedsJr]

Does this mean Defoe is coming in?


Probably. It's a funny-free Tuesday!

[realmenhatelife]

You could really troll these topics, call up and say "he was so great in XXX 2 with Ice Cube. I loved him in Batman."




Sounds like a pretape, I dont think that mic is mixed the same.

[deliciousV]

Does this mean Defoe is coming in?

I don't think so, they have a box on the Ibang about this

[deliciousV]

I don't think so, they have a box on the Ibang about this

Sailor=radio psychic.

[LeedsJr]

As I expected, the pub is now mostly empty.
Cheers!

[hanso]

the barca lounge is being busted up

[CountryBob]

oh snap - Ron busting Fez on the Bluberries

[LeedsJr]

the barca lounge is being busted up


Hanslation? Is Barca on? Is Ron trying for least entertaining radio show of all time??

[CountryBob]

Ron's making a decision by the 6th - speculation begins!

[Dell]

Ron's making a decision by the 6th - speculation begins!

does it?..:thumbdown:

[CountryBob]

does it?..:thumbdown:

yeah

[LeedsJr]

does it?..:thumbdown:


Really. Didn't they JUST do this bit?
Are they on vacation again next week?

[RADIO-SHARK]

its only a matter of time before Fez starts cutting himself for sympathy]

[LeedsJr]

yeah


Ok. I speculate Ron is full of shit and absolutely nothing will change and when they come back on Monday Ron will start the show as usual and when someone finally calls in to ask him about his big decision he'll brush it off like he's done the last thousand times they've done this bit.

[hanso]

Thought Fez toe nail talk would take off.

[CountryBob]

they need to do a reality show on mental illness with Fez.
Has the star appeal of nationwide radio show and the nutso behavior mixed into one.

You are being EXTREMELY generous with the term "star appeal".

gotta give him something positive

this is not the place for any of that!

Hicks sure is becoming quite the jetsetter. I wonder if he finally got a settlement on his mothers lawsuit against the city?

That's what PaulO wanted to do with his last movie pitch, remember? Follow Fez around and film what goes on.

[CountryBob]

I could see him being like the Penguin in the Batman movie - living under the city, wanting to regain his proper birthright etc.

honestly did not know that - is that why Fez went nuts on him and strained the relationship?

[jennysmurf]

Who knows? I think that was what his Kickstarter campaign was for.

Everything is always part shoot and part work, thats what I take away from the show.

I admit I didn't hear the last hour and a half of the show, but I'll believe a change is happening when it happens. Ron's only been teasing it for about 5 years.

[LeedsJr]

Exactly.
The shoot part is Ron is fed up with Fez and doesn't want to do the show with him anymore.
The work part is that he would actually say no to the money and give up his cushy gig. It's not happening.

I think a strong formula in their old show was based on Professional Wrestling (e.g., the heel turn)...I think Fez is still dependent on these formulas, Ron has grown tired of them (especially when they die on the vine), Fez leans on them when pressured by Ron to be more interactive which further frustrates Ron

I don't think either one of them knows how to come to terms on this...with any outcome, I'll continue to listen because I am still entertained

I think some changes are coming, I don't think the show goes away, like you said, Ron ain't walking away from the money. I don't think Fez continues in his current capacity as a partner, I think the show name changes, and possibly the time of the show, maybe it goes to evenings.
And lastly, the constant references to how we'll never see or hear from Shelby again makes me think he's coming back in the reboot.
But, as many times they've done this bit, this one smells different, so I think there will be changes.

[sailor]

Ron really sounded ready to push fez off the show today.

Who?

[deliciousV]

yeah, that's the feeling I got. The thing is, Fez is pretty much daring him to, they had a week off after a pretty clear warning from Ron that something had to change, he comes back worse than he left.

[LeedsJr]

Who?

:lol:

I'm sorry I missed the only vaguely interesting part of the show.
But again, I'll believe it when it happens. Ron has been crying wolf for at least 5 years now.

Crying Wolf would be an excellent Native American name.

[realmenhatelife]

Parks Crooked. That's my mom's navajo name.




But I do think an additional creative figure on the show would help ease tensions a lot.


Densionsssssss.

This sounds about right. Hopefully there is someone hanging in the wings that can be a an equal pillar to Ron to raise the level of the show to where we know it can be. (Not just swapping Shelby in for Fez.) Somebody like Jay Mohr, Bill Burr or one of the other regulars on O&A would be great.

If all else fails Ron always has his podcast with Jennie Hurt to fall back on.

since we're speculating, JJ has his own show already, and he'd drive Ron crazy, he's a bit of a mic hog. Burr is being hailed as the next Louis CK, no way he gives up his constant touring and acting career. Big J is about the only constant to the show, as far as comedians go, I'm not too sure about him though, he's a funny standup, but doesn't work too hard at the banter when he's on the show.
