Michael, you asked if this was the place to brag about seeing Iron and Wine. My response said nothing about the merits of said music, only that here is not the place to brag about it.
Why? Because it's not polite to try to steal ben's thunder on this thread flogging his supermegarockstar DJ gig.
13, the (probable) break until January is 'cuz I'm not sure I'll be able, or care enough, to rack up the necessary "volunteer hours" between now and whenever it is that I'll need to have 15 of them in order to get a show for the upcoming quarter.
I threadjack to point out that apparently Deborah Solomon has interviewed Lee Siegel. I haven't clicked to read it because I figure that the interview contains such a high concentration of annoyingness that it would reach critical mass, consuming my computer, me, and possibly the whole city of Lubbock.
But it does look like Seigel's gonna get some free pub for his book out of the deal. (via sausagely)
I will usurp this comments thread in a minor way to point out that tomorrow, the 19th, from 9:30 to noon or so EDT (so as not to cause any scheduling conflict with Ben's radio show), I will be at a potentially life-changing interview; and one that has nothing to do with Scientology!
I am having my second interview at a very intriguing tech firm. When I talked with the CEO a few days ago he seemed pretty gung-ho about hiring me and I think that if I hit it off well with the IT staff tomorrow, that they will make me an offer.
So: in a short time I may abruptly stop being bored with my job, a condition which I have been in for going on 5 years now. This would be a huge treat, though with the possible downside of reduced time spent at the Mineshaft. Anyway I would appreciate any happy thoughts of support sent my way tomorrow morning.
The dark comedy of Solomon's interview of Seigel is that he came off almost well. He sounded like a lunatic, of course, but since everyone she interviews sounds like a lunatic, I thought he did a decent job of using the interview to overcome the recent unpleasantness and to plug his new book.
(A nice thing about this intriguing tech firm is, its name can be rendered as "A Choir Medea" -- which makes me think of Euripides as performed by my parents' church's choir -- which could only be fun.)
And yes that Siegel interview is extremely annoying.
An example:
Q:You yourself comfortably adopted a false persona when you had Sprezzatura comment about one of your critics that he “couldn’t tie Siegel’s shoelaces.” Doesn’t that show great immaturity on your part?
A: I am too childlike to be immature.
Also, in the accompanying photo, he looks a lot like James Frey, of A Million Little Pieces fame.
M/tch, I don't think that the interview can truly be appreciated except in toto, but this bit is even crazier:
Q: Anonymous bloggers are also saddled with obscurity, which I doubt you would similarly glorify.
That’s right. In their case, anonymity is obscurity’s rash. At least for those who practice incessant character assassination, which represents a good portion of the blogosphere, they vent out of the pain of being unacknowledged.
I can! PACC meetings occur mondays from 7–9pm, when they occur, thus, there will be none such tomorrow from noon–6pm.
I have Finalized my Selections and can tell you that you can look forward to music from Ekkehard Ehlers, Sun Ra, Islaja, Roy Harper, Lubomyr Melnyk, Joe Maneri, Kimmo Pohjonen, Odd Shot, the Tiger Lillies, Tetuzi Akiyama, Marc Almond, Joe Henry, Bill Monroe, and more!
Because I'm disturbed that no one else is talking about it: Prior to West Wing, I know Bradley Whitford could play a character who was nothing like Josh. Tonight, he appeard to be playing Josh gone to Hollywood. I should probably give him more than one episode to differentiate them though. I like when I say to my roommate: this is a pretty direct Network quotation and then the fictional newscasters talk about how it looked like a scene out of Network, and then when I'm thinking how it'd be nice if real newscasters made observations like that, a character on the show notes that it's impressive that they're making that connection.
Including the rather strange inter-section titles.
Also, the first West Wing criticizes a fictionalized Jerry Falwell and involves a character getting in trouble for saying impolitic things about the religious, the first Sunset Strip criticizes Pat Robertson and involves a character getting in trouble for saying impolitic things about the religious.
Sorkin's also immediately doing the quasi-autobiographical drug-use stuff again. But I think it's ok to resort to old standbys while getting the characters' relationships off the ground. Once they are, they'll have to do more of the work.
It's ok, your beard is in fine shape. Everything worked out in the end. The right track was a different, more lute-containing track from the same album.
Bradley Whitford didn't sound as tired as Josh usually does, but otherwise he was really similar. In fairness to him, he probably was working on the pilot while wrapping up The West Wing. They really need to give him a haircut because the long sloppy hair is just too Josh.
I had watched a preview for Studio 60 off the intarweb last week and it contained pretty much all the good moments in the pilot, and it was only a five minute clip. I have high hopes to the extent that there is always room for an interesting guest host-of-the-week or musical group.
But the pilot from The West Wing was so strong. I pretty much sold from the moment Leo walks into the West Wing:
MIKE
It's a nice morning, Mr. McGarry.
LEO
We'll take care of that in a hurry. Won't we, Mike?
MIKE
Yes, sir.
BONNIE
Don't kill the messenger, Leo. [hands him some papers]
Ben, can you direct me to the playlist page? I walked the dog and misses many minutes, though on the walk I listened to Songs From Liquid Days, which I considered to be in the spirit.
I just want to complain that the entirely enjoyable music being played over the PA system here at ye olde French bistro is interfering with my ability to properly listen to your show, Ben.
Yeah, Ben, that was exactly my point. Your show sucks, and I'm sorry I can't listen to it even though the music that's making it hard to hear is itself entirely enjoyable.
How about you barricade yourself in the station, refuse to switch over to the feed from the convocation, but announce that if even one person calls in asking to hear the convocation, you'll switch?
76: There there, you big baby. What I meant, as anyone except you could clearly have seen, was that although under *any other circumstances* the music playing in here would be entirely enjoyable, given the unique excellence of your radio show, not to mention my personal interest in your every move, I am feeling very irritated at not being able to keep tabs on KZSU while I eat my pommes frites.
They say it'll be over around 5:15 or 5:30, which means I have to sit around until then, though it also means that afterwards I'll be able to play more. Though I can understand that you wouldn't want to sit around for that horseshit.
That was the stupidest comment I've ever heard ("you might feel you were admitted in error ... well, look around you ... they weren't admitted in error and neither were you" (paraphrased)).
"In a short time many of you will say goodbye to family members ... and in that period of silence that follows, you will reflect on what a rich life they must have led, to give them such tasty and succulent brains"
What just ended is Sun Ra's "When Angels Speak of Love" from the identically named album; what just began is the third track of Black Forest/Black Sea's album Radiant Symmetry.
A 60s relic enquires why? He can't see far because of his horns? He'll do what's wrong for as long as he can?

The Sun Ra is what I meant (though this next one is also good); haven't heard it before.
Not sure if you're going for a theme with the mood of these pieces; regardless, it's fitting at the moment.

Yes, just as I said, from Stormcock. That's the name of the album.

Do you find something funny about the word "stormcock"?

That's funny, I thought you said "from Stormcock".

It's no more interesting than "weathervane".

"ogged, the original discriminating buffalo man."
A 60s relic enquires why? He can't see far because of his horns? He'll do what's wrong for as long as he can?
