my thoughts exactly. I admire all the people who can dive headfirst into the sorrow, but I can't seem to put myself through that just yet. I was catching up on the most recent Getting Doug's and he was in the ad for the live episodes... it took me by complete surprise and felt like someone had punched me directly in the stomach. other than the painfully prescient Eardrop clip, I don't think I'll be able to hear his voice for awhile without holding back tears. however, that doesn't stop me from googling his name every five seconds... fuck.

am I the only person who just assumed that Lauren sang the theme song? also, the game... we love it.

this is literally all I've been able to think about the past few hours. no matter how much happiness he brought to my life personally, I could never pretend to understand how crushing today has been for the comedians and writers that had the honor of working or spending time with him. it's upsetting when anyone dies, especially a comedian... but when something like this happens there are simply no words to express the type of sadness we're all feeling.

no real corrections or omissions since I would have had to watch this movie at least fifteen more times to fully understand it. that being said, I feel compelled to repeat this quote that Paul mentioned in the episode... along with Zed getting "sucked" into the crystal, it was the biggest laugh I had in the movie.

yo Scott and Scott... I'mma let you finish, but improv4humans just released the best podcast of all time!

the interview segment was a bit awkward (as already mentioned in this thread ad infinitum), but I feel that Jack definitely arrived at some points.

trumped only by the image of him standing in front of a wide open oven, busting clench while his pizza cools. also, the concept on running on "douche fumes" fascinates me...

speaking of Jodorowksy, they should definitely do one of his movies. as much as I adore everything he's done (Santa Sangre is probably my favorite), his films are arguably on the level of Zardoz and Xanadu when it comes to absurdity and lack of plot.

if Dan Harmon isn't the guest this time, there will be riots. I was willing to overlook his absence during Xanadu, but Zardoz.....? do the right thing, guys.

aka Onion Head...?

am I crazy or has Matt told the left ear story on an earlier i4h... or on another podcast perhaps? I usually start listening to the show as soon as I wake up so my mind is still somewhat hazy, but it sounded very familiar for some reason. also, I'm with him on that snow video... it looks and sounds contrived as fuck.

corrections and omissions: as much as I loved the reference, Hot Butter were not the actual writers of the song Popcorn. as a massive fan of 60's and 70's German electronic music, I felt obligated to mention that it was written by Gershon Kingsley (of Perrey-Kingsley) and originally appeared on his album Music to Moog By. their music, including the popularity of that particular single, is widely responsible for making electronic instruments relevant in pop music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hU8gVDxmUc hmm, sounds like I need to write a book on how sitting around listening to obscure music has made me lazy when it comes to my own creativity.... damn.

hell yes, when I saw them both Jared and Coady were there. I won't lie, I was sort of hoping they'd be playing with Trevor Dunn that night because I'm a huge fan of his, but shortly thereafter I got my wish when I saw Tomahawk that Halloween. I know that's sort of a joke considering your cramstuffed schedule, but yeah... you do.

see cherubism. the actor is question is named Robert Z'Dar, best known as the titular (or.... eponymous) maniac cop in the cult horror/action movie Maniac Cop. edit: a little late on that one... looks like I need to start screening my posts.

Wild Horses were wonderful together as always, but those fake ads just keep getting better and better... "I work for free... and by free, I mean drugs."

yo Stard... you know the Melvins, boi? but seriously, their new record is great! for the uninitiated, it was recorded with two members of the Butthole Surfers (Jeff Pinkus and Paul Leary). I got to see them back in 2012 after they released their album Freak Puke and they were a sight to behold... something about two drummers in a live setting is, for lack of a better term, face-melting.

damn, I sincerely wish Community started in February... but the first two episodes air on March 17 and, unlike most streaming services, they're going to release them a week at a time after that. it should also be noted that, much like House of Pies, this will be its last season. (Six Seasons and a Movie)

finally caught the Newsreaders... a brilliantly understated and convincing performance from Howard. "'Miss My Brother'... sounds kinda gay. I like Mister Mister though."

so many unrecorded 'nothers coming this year... can't wait. I also can't wait for some more Cyrus/Stard music if that show or anything else ends up surfacing. the spontaneous musicianship in those Rafflecast episodes remind me of what it was like to flesh out songs in a garage with my friends for the brief couple years that lasted. I can also totally relate with Brett when it comes to just wanting to do your own thing musically but not quite having the means to (other than his stuff with Howard, of course). you gotta have those collaborator/spirit animals... and they're usually few and far between.

no hard feelings Mr. Ducca, I just have extreme abandonment issues... between the Fogelnest Files' ongoing "hiatus", Topics disappearing with no warning for three weeks (and counting) and the erratic frequency of HDTGM episodes, I've been a complete mess lately. whelp... looks like I'm going to seek out a medically induced coma as well.

four words: Dr. Pepper neti pot.
