Episode 239 - The Best of Music Vol. 2

[Episode 239 - The Best of Music Vol. 2]

Does Besser always just seek out the musicians himself, or if we throw some suggestions of indie/underground artists he'll take them into consideration? I guess she's really blown up in the last year, but I would lose my socks if he ever got Aurora on the podcast.

 

If suggestions are in play, Eric Bachmann would fit in perfectly with the I4H musical dynamic. Plus he's just about my favorite live performer working today.

[Episode 56 - Los Feliz, Karen's House, 1997]

I was listening to this on my lunch break and the EXACT SECOND Chris Tallman said, “No, a dream is a wish your heart makes,” I glanced up at the coffee shop trivia board and saw "'A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes' was originally featured in which Disney film?" I don’t know what this means but I’m frightened.

[Episode 41 - Musical; Theater with Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber]

I'm going to amend my statement from earlier in this thread: I will sell a human soul for another episode of this down the road with Don DiMello *OR* John Lennon.

 

John was soliciting listener questions for a vague upcoming podcast project at the end of today's CBB, so I suspect you may get your wish.

 

I really want to believe Gino's comment about ska bands not having much room for black musicians was intentional irony on Gabrus's part, what with ska being a product of Jamaica and all. (Granted, '90s ska was pretty dang white.)

[Episode 128 - Streets of Fire: LIVE!]

The whole fight with the sledgehammer thing made me think of all the times I've seen someone in a film fight with a sledgehammer.

 

You gotta see Emperor of the North, in which Ernest Borgnine and Lee fuckin' Marvin have a brutal sledgehammer duel on a moving train.

[EPISODE 29 - Backstage at the Rush Concert: Live from Largo]

Is the bit about there only being 1,000 people in Canada a Comedy Bang Bang call back? That's a deep cut. I can't remember what episode it's from; one of the live shows in Canada maybe?

 

If memory serves, it’s one of Alan Thicke’s goals to meet every Gord in Canada, which isn’t as difficult as it sounds because there are only 1000 people in the country.

[EPISODE 366 — Cafeteriapalooza]

Lot of school workers coming by the studio these days what with health teacher Joe Bongo and now cafeteria technician Frank Frank. I wonder if either of them know Ms. Listler via the underground teachers and janitors network.

 

In fact, Mr. Joe Bongo was introduced on the Womp it Up podcast and is quite familiar with Ms. Listler. I very much hope Frank Frank crosses over in that direction soon.

[EPISODE 338 — Be My Guest, Literally]

Y'know, if I was trying to sell an improv-hater on this show, describing it as two hours of conversation and game-playing between a hammy French actor, a stoic German filmmaker, an English investment attorney, a naughty elf and a grumpy Santa Claus would probably sound like everything people hate about improv. And yet this is perfection.
