I'm sure you could do 24 hours of people trying to sound like Bob somebody. (Your daughter is cool.)

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:24am ParUbi:

@dotpattern-- was just commenting on that to my wife.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:26am TheLoneliestMonk:

good word.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:32am Listener Baby:

Baby..
What brought that up?

Sat. 11/30/19 11:32am paul:

should...did you hear about Terell Pryor?

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:32am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

TheLoneliestMonk: well, i'm here in the Pacific time zone, in Fist City, AKA San Francisco

Sat. 11/30/19 11:33am paul:

I meant egould.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:33am Mailman Tom:

That's what Trump said. The guy was parroting him.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:33am mariano:

Damn, Michael - dishing it out today, huh?

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:34am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

none of my friends who saw that movie liked it

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:34am mariano:

I absolutely loved The Irishman. Watched it twice.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:34am Mailman Tom:

The Punisher was the worst movie I've ever seen lately

Sat. 11/30/19 11:35am clarke:

there was a time when a three plus hour film had an intermission. it would have served The Irishman well.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:35am Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

looking forward to seeing the new Almodovar film tomorrow

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:35am Handy Haversack:

Which one, GST? Irishman or the Jarmusch movie?

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:36am mariano:

Yeah, but 3.5 hours on Netflix is different, you can pause whenever you like.

Sat. 11/30/19 11:37am clarke:

yes, but i saw it in the theater - after drinking a lemonade!!!! painful. ha ha.

Sat. 11/30/19 11:37am ChrisB.:

Backscratcher.

Sat. 11/30/19 11:37am fullmetalmonkey:

The dead don’t die definitely a strange film. The one thing that stuck to me after viewing the film was. Life is in the details. Enjoy the things around you while you have them. Enjoy the moment. I was also very high when I saw the film.

Sat. 11/30/19 11:37am clarke:

i will say that it kept me from leaving the room, tho

Sat. 11/30/19 11:38am Josh:

We loved The Dead Don't Die but only because it was filmed in our town! For anyone who did not immediately recognize all the locations, your review is accurate.

Sat. 11/30/19 11:38am SmokinJ:

Turtles, once again...

Sat. 11/30/19 11:39am Vanessa and Vanessa:

How about key lanyard for premium?

Sat. 11/30/19 11:39am brooklynbanzai:

Michael thanks so much for that Martin Mull link - I remember watching that special when I was a 5th grader. Great guest appearance from Flo and Eddie!

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:40am mariano:

Oof, painful, @clarke, sorry to hear! Speaking of 3+ hour movies that could've used an intermission, in the early aughts I went to see Matthew Barney's Cremaster 3 with some friends. One of the most eye-glazingly tedious experiences of my life, especially because it was a midnight show. My butt fell asleep and I swear it took an hour for it to get back to normal after it was over.

Sat. 11/30/19 11:40am egould310:

@paul. Yeah, I read that about TP. Godspeed.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:41am full metal monkey:

@josh. What town was it filmed in. I forget

Sat. 11/30/19 11:41am Mark in Toronto:

Michael, most of the time I see your point and agree with you, but you are "dead" wrong on The Dead Don't Die. It's very funny, in-jokey and meta. You have to like Jim Jarmusch movies in general to appreciate it.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:42am Listener Baby:

Steve's E duets always excel.

Sat. 11/30/19 11:43am clarke:

i don't know mark, i think JJ is VERY spotty. love some of his films - can't stand Ghostdog

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:44am mariano:

I think the last Jarmusch movie I saw was Ghost Dog, which I really loved. I really love Dead Man as well. Need to catch up on Broken Flowers and some of the more recent ones.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:45am full metal monkey:

Deadman is great. Awesome Neil young soundtrack

Sat. 11/30/19 11:45am clarke:

there ya go

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:47am Handy Haversack:

It always seems like there are no lukewarm thoughts on Jarmusch movies. People have Opinions!

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:47am TheLoneliestMonk:

i'm no jarmusch fan, but i enjoyed 'coffee & cigarettes'
i thought the best segment was coogs with molina, and the taylor mead bit lamenting the desmise of old NY was genuinely touching

Sat. 11/30/19 11:49am Zydeco Phil:

Nice

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:49am full metal monkey:

@thelonliestmonk yeah coffee and cigarettes is one of my favorites. Iggy and Tom Waits is priceless

Sat. 11/30/19 11:49am Geoffrey in Ottawa:

I saw The Dead Don't Die. It felt like an inside joke that I was just on the outside of, but I didn't mind being there.

Sat. 11/30/19 11:49am Michael Shelley:

For me, when IRONY is all you have - you don't have enough. It just didnt add up to anything. Just depressingly un-creative. Not a lot of surprises, or commentary, or point of view, or great performances.

Sat. 11/30/19 11:51am SmokinJ:

Hail the Five!

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:51am TheLoneliestMonk:

@MS you just described perfectly my lack of love for that hipster doofus, wes andersen

Sat. 11/30/19 11:51am Geoffrey in Ottawa:

What album is this MC5 song on?

Sat. 11/30/19 11:51am George in WO:

Motor City Five, baby!

Sat. 11/30/19 11:52am SmokinJ:

The real fuckin' deal..

Sat. 11/30/19 11:53am paul:

Back in the USA, Geoffrey

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:53am mariano:

@TheLoneliestMonk: Paul Thomas Anderson on the other hand... I loved The Master. Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix made for a powerful combo.

Sat. 11/30/19 11:55am Todd-o-phonic Todd:

For a marathon premium...how about The Michael Shelley Gag? It can be placed in someone's mouth when they start complaining overmuch. I don't have anyone in mind to use it on by any means.

Sat. 11/30/19 11:56am Geoffrey in Ottawa:

How about a 45 adaptor?

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:56am Listener Baby:

I have someone in mind, Todd. But Michael isn't the person.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:57am Handy Haversack:

Beer coozie!

Sat. 11/30/19 11:57am STP:

COZI BRO

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:58am Listener Baby:

Etched wine glasses, Baby. Then you could finally have proper glasses at your house.

Sat. 11/30/19 11:58am SmokinJ:

How bout' a cheap USB flash drive loaded with #1 hits!

Sat. 11/30/19 11:58am paul:

Actually a DVD set of the complete Country documentary would make a nice premium.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 11:59am TheLoneliestMonk:

Re:swag
hats mike, we like hats

Sat. 11/30/19 12:00pm clarke:

i don't usually take any swag

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:01pm TheLoneliestMonk:

@mariano i WANTED to like the master.
it just didnt go anywhere for me.
i can understand why CO$ wasn't worried about it.
it was NO hagiography...

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:01pm TheLoneliestMonk:

@clarke we can't ALL be chaste ascetics, dude

Sat. 11/30/19 12:02pm clarke:

but, i do love when someone tries to turn one thing you are talking about into a diatribe for their agenda. calling wes anderson a 'hipster' is pretty much like racial profiling.

Sat. 11/30/19 12:03pm DG:

I've seen a bunch of Jarmusch movies and liked them (esp. the early ones), but with his slow pacing and weird characters, they're an acquired taste. I think "Broken Flowers" was the last one of his I saw; didn't see his zombie movie (weird that this indie director has now made films about zombies and vampires). Had you seen any other stuff of his before you saw this one?

Sat. 11/30/19 12:04pm clarke:

and the chaste was not by choice!

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:04pm TheLoneliestMonk:

@clarke what can i say, i like name calling.
peace & love, peace & love, baby!

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:06pm mariano:

@TheLoneliestMonk: with The Master, what did it for me was the scene where Hoffman loses his cool at a swanky Manhattan apartment gathering when someone starts questioning him skeptically and he snaps and calls the guy a pig fuck. That's peak Hoffman!

Sat. 11/30/19 12:06pm clarke:

leaning into the wind

Sat. 11/30/19 12:07pm DG:

I didn't like Anderson much either, but was totally taken by Moonrise Kingdom, and Grand Budapest Hotel. He creates his own worlds and odd plots, but I guess some people find that childish or weird. His animated movies are worth checking out too. And yeah, I thought The Master was too long and couldn't figure out what it was trying to do.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:08pm Matt Fiveash:

My love for Ray Charles is unending. Recently stumbled on a full Ray Charles show on youtube, France 1961, really good picture/audio, the band/Raelettes on fire and Ray in absolute peak functioning dope fiend form. Michael, check it out if you haven't already seen it. But please wait till off the air to do so...

Sat. 11/30/19 12:08pm DG:

That Explorers Club cut was great, BTW.....

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:09pm TheLoneliestMonk:

i was surprisingly pulled in by budapest hotel.
maybe cos my expectations were so low?
i think he dialed by the twee factor on that one

Sat. 11/30/19 12:09pm Mark in Toronto:

@Geoff in Ottawa: Back in the USA

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:10pm mariano:

To me, The Master was a portrait of megalomania and delusion.
www.youtube.com...

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:11pm TheLoneliestMonk:

as far a downtown vamp films go, i remember i enjoyed 'the addiction'.
i mean, walken pedantically quoting Nietzsche & kant while a vamp is going into blood withdrawl is peak ferrara!

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:11pm Ross T.:

Ah, indeed what the day needed was Curtis Mayfield...

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:12pm TheLoneliestMonk:

and for my money, tenenbaums had the weirdest combination of a mediocre film that contained one of the all time great screen portrayals

Sat. 11/30/19 12:14pm DG:

Yeah, we watched Budapest on cable and were just taken in by it...great. I see others here are commenting on Mr. Mull---pretty sure I remember watching that on PBS back when. His albums were full of funny parodies, commentary on music of the day (as Flo & Eddie did), etc. I think his last album has fake commercials (like for "Bun & Run"). Saw him at the Palace in Albany around 1979; I think the place was half-filled. Wish he'd do some music again, instead of taking roles on crappy sitcoms (I keep expecting him to turn up on "The Conners").

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:15pm mariano:

Remember Martin Mull's Showtime series, "The History of White People in America"?

Sat. 11/30/19 12:16pm andy fuchs:

I guess we know where Nick Lowe got the feel for "I love the sound of breaking glass" ?? lol

Sat. 11/30/19 12:16pm davek2:

The only place I've heard this song is in my home! Thee great Trevor Burton was in the band

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:17pm TheLoneliestMonk:

@mariano did you see the lecarre flick he did right before he died?
it's a solid performance, even if the accent was completely unnecessary

Sat. 11/30/19 12:17pm DG:

Royal Tenenbaums was the one that made me stop watching Anderson movies (for awhile)....I spent half the movie trying to figure out WHEN it was taking place, since they kept showing old technology (phonographs, etc.) but I guess that was a comment on the family, not to set up the time period. Also thought the dialogue and family dynamics (mean father, etc.) wasn't that original.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:17pm listener 126464:

he's not asking too much. this may be post-breaking glass. 79?

Sat. 11/30/19 12:17pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

www.youtube.com...

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:18pm TheLoneliestMonk:

@DG ...and steve zissou was worse!
say what u will about tenenbaums, hackman is a stand out in it

Sat. 11/30/19 12:20pm DG:

Could swear that Steve Gibbons track was played a bit on WNEW's "Things from England" back then, I know I heard it somewhere, but I always mixed up Steves Gibbon & Harley (Cockney Rebel).

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:20pm TheLoneliestMonk:

Mull is SUCH a solid comedic actor, he even managed to be amusing on 2 1/2 men

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:21pm mariano:

@TheLoneliestMonk: Yes, "A Most Wanted Man", and I absolutely loved it. I'm a big Le Carré fan, so for me it was a pairing made in heaven. Nina Hoss was really amazing in that as well.

Sat. 11/30/19 12:21pm clarke:

you have probably played many mac davis songs, but not the version by mac

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:21pm TheLoneliestMonk:

she basically did the exact same character on 'homeland'

Sat. 11/30/19 12:21pm DG:

See, I found "The Addiction" kinda pretentious (and I usually like Lili Taylor)....I also thought you had to know a bit about Catholic imagery and history to appreciate it.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:21pm Listener Baby:

Baby in all seriousness, we are are here because of your fantabulous musical taste. Anything music related would be a gift. Anything else is a trip to goodwill waiting to happen. The USB idea is excellent, if it can be done affordably . How about taking song requests from your listeners? One per listerener? Dunno what that has to do with your taste, other than your influence.. Just think music, not stuff.

Sat. 11/30/19 12:22pm Sean T:

Not just Mac Davis, It's Strange ... Billy Strange

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:23pm TheLoneliestMonk:

@DG i haven't seen it since it was first released in the theater and home video...VHS!
aargh!
i might hate it now, i knew it was pretentious at the time, it was ferrara trying to transpose his junk addiction to a horror story

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:24pm mariano:

Lili Taylor is incredible. I love her in "I Shot Andy Warhol".

Sat. 11/30/19 12:25pm Todd-o-phonic Todd:

I have this Otis 45...I read that it was issued by John Fred. It came out a good # of years after the recording I believe.

Sat. 11/30/19 12:25pm DG:

RE: Mull. That "White People" series was on Cinemax which is probably why I've never seen it...would like to, it sounds funny (& Harry Shearer directed it). Apparently it's only on VHS at the moment.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:26pm mariano:

Oh, sorry, Cinemax. Memory is funny, don't know why I remembered it as being on Showtime.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:29pm TheLoneliestMonk:

@DG, Mariano

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:30pm TheLoneliestMonk:

@clarke we caught you in the sin of omission!

Sat. 11/30/19 12:31pm clarke:

the patch flew down from the sky, i swear!!

Sat. 11/30/19 12:31pm Michael Shelley:

BABY - the non music items are usually VERY popular with listeners - after 25+ years w/cds I think I'm going w/ some kind of thing! Must admit - your Goodwill comment is spot on... but we have a magnetic flashlight on our fridge that we use all the time (that my wife got at some work event). BRAIN STORM... what would be useful? (and around $2)

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:32pm TheLoneliestMonk:

@clarke well, better omission than emission!

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:32pm Listener Baby:

How about Super Hits that missed. A collection of songs that should have been recorded by all those wonderful bands that helped out, but didn’t pick.

Sat. 11/30/19 12:32pm clarke:

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:33pm TheLoneliestMonk:

@LB thematically, that's great

since we're all over the place today...has anyone seen the smithereens with crenshaw?
is it worthwhile?

Sat. 11/30/19 12:39pm David watts:

i thought the jarmusch vampire flick was alright, as far as vampire movies go. not great but not as bad as you made it sound. Wanda jackson at half speed sounded cool....

Sat. 11/30/19 12:43pm clarke:

Swag idea: one of those credit card sized multi-tools, printed as #1 Hit Club membership cards.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:46pm Ross T.:

I have not seen Crenshaw with the Smithereens but of course it's worthwhile.

Sat. 11/30/19 12:46pm Michael Shelley:

had no idea that there was a huge line of those... www.amazon.com...

too expensive - I think - but good BRAINSTORMING

Sat. 11/30/19 12:47pm clarke:

perhaps the bass player hit the right notes to another part of the song?? (in other words, he thought it was going to the bridge or something)

Sat. 11/30/19 12:47pm Richard:

They can definitely be acquired in (reasonable) bulk for under $2.

Sat. 11/30/19 12:48pm clarke:

at any rate, bass player caught the correct change and kudos for leaving it in.

🎃 Sat. 11/30/19 12:48pm Listener Baby:

Did a B- Side make exactly the $$ if the A-Side was a hit?

Sat. 11/30/19 12:49pm clarke:

yes, baby - as far as mechanical royalties

I like his here Charley Crockett

Another fun clam: Bo Diddley's "You Can't Judge A Book By Its Cover" -- towards the end of the final chorus, he plays a C chord instead of the correct B -- missed it by that much!
