Baseball

    OK, ladies and gentlemen.
     Our home team is out of the running, which means baseball is done for Detroit fans—or so you might think.  Where can you now put all your baseball playoff energy?  Look no further than the Arizona Diamondbacks.  This is where we need to focus are energy.  Not for the sake of baseball, but rather the good of Arizona’s own Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers.
    Roger wrote a little ditty to help support his hometown team, the Arizona Diamond backs.  The farther they go the more I am sure we will hear his song, providing some much needed kudos for a very talented singer and songwriter.  So watch the video and spread the word.  This year, I back, you back, we back the D-backs.  That’s a fact, Jack!!
    Yes, I did go see Roger at the Magic Bag last night.  It is the best live show you will ever attend!
    Watch the video.  Very good tune!!

    Show opening recorded Thursday, May 3 2007 at Ferndale’s Magic Bag theater, using the same gear with which we record our podcast.
    For those keeping score, here’s Roger’s setlist for that night

    Mike and Schmoe and Scott had a busy weekend, heading off to Chicago the following day for another RCPM show; and then, recording the phone interview on Sunday.
    It was Mike who got the ball rolling regarding the interview.  He contacted Patrick Steven Patterson at Lotus Nile.com, back at the beginning of April, and was able to negotiate a twenty-minute phone interview.  We had hoped to use the interview to promote Roger’s local appearance, but it didn’t work out in time.  Mike happened to meet Roger before the concert (despite what I say in the post-show gabfest), bumping into him outside the rear of Magic Bag.  Mike, once again wearing his classic “The Peacemakers” t-shirt (as seen here, from the previous year), introduced himself and we were delighted to hear Roger was not only aware of the upcoming interview but even remembered the time (4 PM CDT).  He told us he’d be calling from the back of his tour bus, between his Minneapolis and Des Moines appearances.
    So that we could all participate, we used a phone service called Free Conference.com.  This isn’t necessarily an endorsement since the results did not sound all that great.  Using individual phones backfired on us, since a lot of echo and crosstalk got picked up.  I also dialed in using Skype, and got better results that way; and the finished product is a blend between both recordings (plus plenty of tweaks and filters).
    Learn more about Circus Mexicus here.  (The name Schmoe was trying to say is “Puerto Peñasco”.)  And learn more about RCPM’s No More Beautiful World CD here.  Scott’s songwriting question refers specifically to the title track from Honky Tonk Union and “Switchblade” from ¡Americano!.  You can see the RCPM tour bus in our photo gallery.  And as long as you’re looking up RCPM CDs, here’s the link for Sonoran Hope and Madness, originally released by Margaritaville Records.  You can try meeting Roger at 3 Margaritas.  And this is the Mexican Moonshine website, but there’s not much there yet.
    Not surprisingly, the other live track, “Lemons”, also stems from the May 3 show.  You can hear Mike and Scott cheering at the beginning, over their upcoming Chicago show.  Shurman was the opening act, and you can go to their website or visit them at MySpace.  The performance here is heavily edited, for time reasons.  (There’s also a performance of it in Episode 33.

Episode 33: The Bournemouth and District Amateur Clynecologists

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, March 21 2007 (9:00 PM - 11:00 PM), at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
    “The Roger Clyne podcast (which starts at 13:45) threatens to take over the whole episode.  BW Dream Setlists and BN March Madness are also touched on; and Mike and Schmoe gripe about pop stars and iTunes, respectively.  Guest appearances by Jennifer and Lee.”

    Our hideout was nowhere near as crowded as last time and we had no trouble setting up in our recording studio.  The food was ravioli for Schmoe and pizza for the others.  The drink was a pitcher of Amber Bock, bottles of Bud Light (for me), and water.  My “She blushes” comment is a quote from the “Shindig” episode of Firefly.
    There was a lot more behind-the-scenes commentary about the BuffettNews.com Buffett News podcast.  Here’s a blog page exclusive outtake.

    No official word on who the King Kong Trio was comprised of, but one disreputable site says it was Jimmy, Mike Utley, and Robert Greenidge.  Submit your Dream Setlist at BuffettWorld.  And follow the March Madness match-ups at BuffettNews.  How ’bout that 300 imitation, eh?  Bob-Lo was an old amusement park on an island in the Detroit River.  The revised Schmoeonade recipe is accessible here.
    Buy No More Beautiful World direct from Roger Clyne’s website.  Apparently, according to Mike, I’ll be seeing Roger Clyne on May 3 at the Magic Bag.
    I know we sound like a bunch of cranky old men, but, seriously, “Fergilicious” is pure shit.
    Hey, I just noticed Mike’s comment about living on Dix and Champaign! [Google Maps link]   Don’t know the story behind the quote but it should be fun to play back to his wife.
    Learn more about Mike’s homework answer at Club Trini.com.  Brandi Carlile’s iTunes listing really is screwed up.  I’m no expert but the races that lead to the America’s Cup take many months, so Scott and Schmoe can both be right.

Bank of Bad Habits ATM Card, from AOL’s Parrot Key

    And now, our product placement.  Whet your Herr’s appetite at their official site.  Of course, we’re more familiar with Herr’s as being a plot point in the “Grief Counseling” episode of The Office.  Here’s the official site for Schmoe’s Laughing Cow cheese.  And although, for your own well-being, this should not be construed as a commercial endorsement, you can learn more about Falstaff Beer bottle caps here.
    By the way, this week’s show title comes from “Silly Noises” track on Monty Python’s Previous Record.
