We must conduct careful surveillance of collectors of smooth jazz records. We need to cultivate informants within this community and encourage them to step forward. If you see something, say something. We might have to round them all up and put them in internment camps.

@JakeGould: the conceit of the humor of the very on and off relationship between Popeye and Olive Oyl was that Popeye was an ugly one-eyed dude and often didn't care one way or the other about her. it's all there in black and white (color on Sundays) if you care to read Thimble Theater.

'Whale sounds are the _best_.' —almost Ron Fields.

Careful, S.M. Ken: Irwin might put the station over the top, but another 7SD like the Marathon first week's might pull it back under. (Did anyone, in fact, de-pledge during or after that?)

"Bertolt Brecht... suggested that a play should not cause the spectator to identify emotionally with the characters" Andy definitely achieves that in every episode of 7SD.

@Cliff: Hahaha. A true Brechtian!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:03am -Ken:

Cliff, I think the Alienation Effect of which you speak does not include the audience DETESTING one of the characters, which is what Andy achieves. Even in the Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui, the Hitler character is nowhere near as repellant as the BreckmanMan.
Avatar 11:03am davej:

@rake This reminds me of the sound of Danielle Dax vocally and musically
Avatar Ken's Marathon 2024 11:08am Murakami Whywolf:

@Marcel M. : Well, I've read that 'Audience Alienation Principle' is a mistranslation (like 'the idiocy of rural life'), but if we ignore that, Andy might well be King of the Brechtians („der Brechtschekönig”? ...„Brechtschen[s]könig”?). I mean, alienate an FMU audience, that's champion, in a Darwin Award sort of way.
  11:08am ʩʩ (:

I think 7SD audiences rather than loving to hate Andy, actually hate loving Andy.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:10am Dave in Vermont:

Thanks, Ken.
  11:10am Cliff:

That's a good point Ken, but I always just turn the show off when Andy starts getting really offensive....much of the time he's just apathetic to what's going on, and I keep listening for some odd reason.
  11:11am Ralphine:

My high school drama club did Brecht's The Measures Taken, and I emotionally identified with all of the characters.
  11:12am ʩʩ (:

Cliff,

You are the kind of audience I was referring in my previous post. Reality is you don't hate Andy. You hate you love him.
  11:12am Cliff:

(I mentioned on the 7SD comments once that I rarely make it through the entire hour, and somebody replied that they wanted to punch me in the face for saying that!)

Avatar Ken's Marathon 2024 11:13am Murakami Whywolf:

What I find compelling is trying to find the seam between Mr A. Breckman and 'Andy Breckman', the seam that was never visible for 'Andy Kaufman' or 'Frank Sinatra' but was part of the attraction of 'Marilyn Monroe', 'Cary Grant', or (in this case a zipper) 'Godzilla'.

Or Stephen Colbert.

Cliff,

I disapprove of what you say, but I will punch you to the death for your right to say it.

Wait. How that Voltaire saying goes?
Avatar Ken's Marathon 2024 11:19am Murakami Whywolf:

Colbert actively _plays_ with the seam, waves it around 'until everybody wants one'...having a pronunciation difference helps.

Now I wish Iain Banks had done a collaboration with Iain M. Banks.

This is one of my favourite songs of all time!
  11:28am P-90:

And I thought Ken and Andy's visit with the Schticky Borshtbelt Bear in week one was one of the highlights of the marathon. So I guess I'm a chronic outlier.

  11:30am Cliff:

What is this, Finnish polka? I likey.
  11:32am chalmers:

The alienation humor on 7SD two weeks ago led me to think "Hmm, interesting choice for a marathon show, but I guess Ken knows what he's doing."
  11:32am Brendan:

This song triggers leg humping
  11:33am Listener Robert:

I figured the whole thing with the graphic novel was to set up week 1 7SD's bit with the bear, which was in turn so people could feign offense at it, thus setting up the Andy soaking in week 2. Grand plan, right?
  11:34am ʩʩ (:

For all the psychoanalysts out there,

Funny we are talking about 7SD. Last night I dreamt about it.

I was during the recording of a show long time ago. I was friends with the producer so somehow they let me in to see behind the scenes. The show was going to be about a box match stunt. The background music was played live by an unknown musician at the time (which was Kurt Cobain). He looked nothing like him. He actually looked like a woman. The show was canceled because the box ring couldn't be deliver in the set. It was too expensive. Andy Breckman went home early in that episode.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:35am Marcel M:

@FOFO: Thus making it Andy's favorite episode of all time, because he got to go home early.
  11:35am JakeGould:

How bad did that bear outfit smell?

It was probably September, Blinda. That month's name is always hard to recall, especially because it goes by the old numbering of 7th month.
  11:47am Joe:

Just coming in. I imagine Ken was talking about Vinyl. I've only got through the first 3 episodes so far. One of my fav scenes is that he just happens to walk backstage at MSG just as Peter Grant is having the bootleg conversation from Song Remins The Same
