Episode 501 - Manchester Orchestra's Kith and Kin

[DaltonMaltz 1119]

Robert McDowell and Andy Hull of the indie rock group Manchester Orchestra join Scott to play songs off their new album “A Black Mile To The Surface” on this week’s musical episode of Comedy Bang! Bang! Photographer Sissy Montgomery stops by to share the best techniques for capturing a senior portrait. Then, statesman Lord Dingle arrives to discuss dealing with his subjects and the fight for global warming. Later, Sissy and Lord Dingle perform original compositions.

I was hoping we might get a Zach and Jess episode.

Nice

Did we know that Scott was in a band with No Doubt's drummer? Because I did not know this. What a 'sclusie. I am also about to download Manchester Orchestra's album, I dig their sound.

Holy shit, that third segment is delightful

[rabidus6 25]

I was sorted into Slytherin but I think it was all based on how I answered the question about how many dogs I've dismembered.

[Royboy 430]

That rap breakdown was Best Of The Year material.

Had heard of these guys from the awesome Dirt 3 soundtrack, loved this track, never occurred me to look them up, this changes things. Expected them to be British and aloof from the name.

Mmmm... haven't had a chance to listen to this ep yet, but that clip of Manchester Orhestra is pretty sweet!!

Check out Scott's early appearances on Never Not Funny, he goes into this and a whole lot more about his early life! And they're all hilarious, of course.

"Affable Southerner" has a very high hit rate as a character archetype.

[AimeeMcCarthy 27]

Beautiful band and Jack Reino was amazing! A C from me!

Zach's song was catchy as hell. When Jessica joined in it became great. Is this what their new podcast is like? No wait, don't answer that, I'm already downloading it.

[Bigsmak 80]

The third party with the singing and rapping... C+

 

 

I'm also downloading because of this.

"Affable Southerner" has a very high hit rate as a character archetype.

 

Often referred to as The Tarver Method.

 

Seems like I'll be listening to Off Book now.

[ChrisEllis 25]

Wow, if Jess McKenna made an entire album of that stuff I would listen to the shit out of it. Really liked the melodies and her voice is fantastic. It was also funny. Great stuff.

[NameThatPunky 804]

I felt I loved this episode after the "leaning against a column" harmony. I knew I loved it after the rap breakdown.

[JLivermore 55]

I'm concerned Scott doesn't know what "ska" is.

 

I watched four (4) Naked Postmen clips on youtube and there was 0% ska.

 

No horns, nothing was being picked up, not an offbeat in sight.

 

Let's circle back, study up on The Braces, Maroon Town, and the Busters.

 

Thanks!

I felt I loved this episode after the "leaning against a column" harmony.

 

That single, one-line harmony is already one of my all-time great CBB moments. It was incredible.

[Crybaby Jones 103]

Great ep. Manchester Orchestra (or the two guys, at least) really brought the "Yes, and" throughout.

 

Best myooosical guest, IMHO, since Colin Hay in terms of playing a song AND ALSO playing along.
