Is the part in Improv4Humans still called "Case Closed?" Anyway, I really hope you address the attacks on Lena Dunham in your show because I'd really like to hear your thoughts.
Â
Personally, I think she's dumb for writing about that stuff -- it's kind of karmic that she's seeing a backlash from it since it's probably embarrassing to her sister -- but I think the truth is being stretched so people can attack a prominent feminist.
Â
This HuffPost article has the most "shocking" section from her book:

Â
But if you can find the other one (not only some Pro-Conservative site), I highly suggest you read it.

Okay wow, we need to put some real facts and reporting behind these statements.
Â
First off, Sean Conroy is an amazing improvisor and really fucking funny but he didn't know what the fuck he was talking about when it came to Spike Lee's comments about his dad playing bass:
Â
Â
Here's the bottom line -- there's nothing wrong with a city getting cleaned up by money. What's wrong is when dumbasses move next to sources of loud noises -- clubs with live music, the homes of musicians -- and then do all they can to shut down the source of noise instead of accepting the fact that THEY MOVED SOMEWHERE THAT'S LOUD.
Â
This shit was already bad in Seattle and surrounding suburbs (it's getting worst, with some of the city's oldest, most important clubs getting the boot so more condos that no one will buy can be built) and it's getting just as bad at a record pace down in San Francisco.
Â
I think Spike was so mad about the whole thing that it was hard for him to get his thoughts straight and that should be taken into account when considering his arguments.

Public access was a gift that kept on giving

Yeah, being that Matt is a Jets fan, I'd love to hear his reaction to this, especially after reading this:

Â
I don't care for Tebow but I agree it was a dick move on the Jets' part.

I can only hope to be this awesome when I'm that old. BTW Tampax is one of Italy's oldest punk bands, having started in 1978

The Dog Police video on the SXSW episode was a fave of my for a while and imagine my surprise when I learned that a pilot had been made based on the song that featured Jeremy Piven and Adam Sandler!

Is this video the most racist video ever? I would think scene of him pulling on the corners of his eyes is enough to win that title...

I'm trying not to just post music videos here but this one is so ridiculous. It starts off like a typical bad 80s music video, complete with a totally unremarkable song, and then at about 2:30 it gets amazing/god awful, only to end with an artistic interpretation of a gang rape.
-
Seriously. That split is just a crime against humanity. And of all people, I would think Tom would follow the path of Gandhi and be able to forgive anybody. But then again he sure does seem to get mad a lot.
Â
This is of course coming from someone who has no clue what happened between them, other than I think a show was at the center of it.

And finally, a song I really like with one of the most entertaining videos I have ever seen

This is what happens when Disco comes to Canada

BTW, get Tom Scharpling to be the guest! He talks about this movie ALL THE TIME and has some really funny comments on it

How can one man kill so many people and not have to answer for it? Because that motherfucker is Charles Bronson!

The entire movie is on YouTube here:

Yes, do this movie! Must be done!!!

A short one, naughty one but worth seeing for the quote from the "proto-Kim Gordon" as one person put it

I just want to be sure you've seen this... Devo is the greatest

On the subject of Tom Waits, I definitely share the opinion of Tom Scharpling:

It should be noted that after Peter Ivers was mysteiously killed in his LA loft, they tried to take the show nationally with Chevy Chase hosting. Here's a newscast where near the end, they show how his taping went:

Holy shit this was one of my favorite podcasts ever! The content alone makes me love life.
Â
First off, about Anal Cunt -- everyone should read this:

Second, the one thing I was surprised that you didn't mention after playing the Fear on SNL clip was the fact that if the Fear gig had gone well, Black Flag was scheduled to play the following week.
Â
And then I wanted to ask Jake: have you heard about New Wave Theater? There's a great book all about it and the guy behind it, Peter Ivers, who also wrote the Lady in the Radiator song for Eraserhead, "In Heaven, Everything Thing Is Fine."
Â
Here's a great sample of the show, which would appear on Night Flight. It's a performance by the creators of "Rape Rock," the Mentors (I think their biggest hit was "Woman from Sodom").
Â
If you don't like the music, skip to the last 2 minutes to see a sweet, WWF-like rant from El Duce.

Hell, the Velvet Underground could sound punkish, as certainly did the likes of the Sonics.
Â
YES. And don't forget the Wailers!
Â
Â
(Being a Washingtonian who lives in California, I have some serious pride in my state's musical roots)
Â
The Troggs definitely deserve some credit for being proto-punk as well.
Â
It should also be noted that Crime's "Hotwire my heart" single came out around the same time as the first Ramones LP did and the only way it can be described is as "punk as fuck."
Â
Â
As for Sound Opinions, I think these shows where DeRogatis and Kot talk about old albums/important musical movements are just their way of taking advantage of the show and talking about their favorite tracks at length, instead of just dedicating a moment or two in their "Desert Island Jukebox" segment. Sadly, the tracks they chose are always the most played out jams possible and never as exciting as "Hotwire" or the Pagans' "Six and Change"

I interviewed Matt Besser!
in improv4humans with Matt Besser

I spoke with Matt on the phone about his start and improv in general. It was a real good time!
