Episode 60: Havana Nagila

By Mickey on Leave a Comment

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, January 23 2008 (10:00 PM – 11:30 PM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
    “This week, Mike, Schmoe, and Mickey return to reviewing albums, taking a look at
Havaña Daydreamin’. Plus, we introduce a new segment to the podcast: Hud’s Hooker Korner, hosted by special guest Hud. (And the Roger Clyne podcast starts at 38:49.)”

    So much for resolving to do a faster turnaround with the editing. This episode was recorded on Wednesday and didn’t get uploaded till late on the following Monday! For some reason Zodiac was very crowded on that Wednesday and we were thinking we might have to resort to the old empty haunted beauty parlor again (as we had done in Episode 34); but fortunately, the back room cleared out in time for us to set up and make our phone calls. Greg, who had suggested this week’s album review, was unexpectedly incommunicado; but we were able to reach Mike.
    01:30 – Lucy’s cookbook at Amazon & Borders
    01:53 – Lucy’s cookbook at Barnes & Noble
    02:02 – Ralph MacDonald’s CD, Mixty Motions
    02:19 – Ralph MacDonald’s site
    02:39 – Paul Shaffer’s Day in Rock
    03:49 – the decade and millennium too, but century sounds better
    04:19 – no pun intended
    04:48 – announcements not “announces”
    05:22 – as you can see here, our last album review was Homemade Music in Episode 55
    11:19 – no, it’s a tilde there, too. Here’s the Wikipedia source of my Havana information; and here it is at BuffettNews and at Buffett World
    13:32 – no, I’m wrong. My dictionary defines “dapper” as “neat in appearance” (not just in attire) so I guess it can still apply
    16:33 – the other song titles from this January 19 2008 episode of Car Talk were “Get Off the Stove, Grandma, You’re Too Old to Ride the Range”, “I Don’t Know Whether to Kill Myself or Go Bowling”, “One Day When You Swing that Skillet, My Face Ain’t Gonna Be There”, “If You Won’t Leave Me, I’ll Find Someone Who Will”, and “Billy Broke My Heart at Walgreen’s and I Cried All the Way to Sears”
    20:34 – anyone else remember the old Radio Shack CB tribute LP All Ears?
    20:51 – I don’t know why but I always pictured the narrator of “West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown” as a trucker. But, now having admitted it out loud, I went back to check the lyrics and there’s really nothing there to suggest that idea
    22:52 – songs taken From the Vault at COBO.org. The first one was edited to save time
    25:10 – also, edited to save time
    26:45 – I really should not have been so quick to say that. Not having bought that CD, I don’t know what its liner notes might have been
    28:58 – Schmoe sees “Defying Gravity” as being about getting high. I see “Defying Gravity” as being about death.
    36:15 – speaking of carbonated beverages, it’s fairly well known we in the north call it “pop”, the coasts call it “soda”, and the south calls it “Coke”. This map is a good breakdown of usage
    38:39 – Schmoe refers to our Changes review in Episode 34
    38:55 – link to Turbo Ocho concert clip
    39:11 – an unnamed person recommends the Download Helper add-on for Firefox
    39:42 – hear “I Do”, “Mercy”, and the other Turbo Ocho songs at the RCPM audio player
    40:15 – that would be Chad Heckler, who appeared in Episode 52
    40:30 – more details about Mike’s custom guitar coming soon…
    42:24 – “Jim” being, of course, Mike’s brother and the singer of our theme song
    42:40 – Government Honey and Voodoo Cafe
    42:56 – themes for Hud’s new Hooker Korner segment by Bernard Herrmann and Ira Newborn

Episode 59: 1,080 New Resolutions

By Mickey on Leave a Comment

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, January 9 2008 (10:00 PM – 11:30 PM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
    “Happy New Year! Not only is Mike still on speakerphone but now Greg is too, discussing, with Schmoe and Mickey, their Buffetty Christmases and New Year’s resolutions. Special guests: Hud and Jennifer. (The Roger Clyne podcast starts at 7:51.)”

    00:00 – Hud’s holiday cheer was taped Wednesday as well, but he had to leave before the formal podcast session started.
    01:04 – Mike and Greg were upset I prompted Schmoe like that, but I wanted him to get the date right
    01:25 – …giving me a chance to experiment with my iPhone’s conference call capability
    02:13 – Make it Right NOLA
    02:16 – YouTube video from the event, via BuffettNews
    02:22 – Dan Folgelberg‘s site. (It appears Mr Folgelberg cowrote “Domino College”, which makes me think I was confusing him with David Loggins, who cowrote and co-sang “Island”)
    02:39 – The Innocent Age
    02:47 – our local paper’s copy of this article
    03:15 – BuffettNews’s photos of the appearance | and their links to YouTube videos
    03:23 – BuffettNews’s coverage
    03:29 – “Blackwell”. I know, it’s “Blackwell”. (Maybe I was thinking of Nina Blackwood, having recently listened to a Martha Quinn interview from the Stuck in the ’80s podcast.) And here’s the link for Episode 50
    03:39 – Somewhere Over Hong Kong
    03:47 – Top 20 or 21 Tours of 2007, according to Pollstar
    06:08 – BuffettNews’s Top Story of 2007 Poll
    08:03 – RCPM’s Turbo Ocho page. But to be honest, writing eight songs in eight days pales in comparison to Jonathan Coulton’s song a week schedule or Beatnik Turtle’s recently completed song a day for an entire year project! (Though there’s still a lot to say for quality over quantity.)
    09:08 – here’s the video Schmoe describes
    10:33 – Steve Larson’s MySpace page
    11:55 – “Wackity Schmackity Doo!”, courtesy of Patton Oswalt, track 20, Werewolves and Lollipops (2007)
    13:03 – the famed Schmoenade recipe
    17:39 – mentioned because I recently saw Xanadu on Universal HD. The movie is pretty bad, but I have to admit I still like the songs
    18:22 – this show was recorded Wednesday night and went up Friday night, which I think just barely falls within the parameters of my self-imposed time limit
    18:55 – even trying not to say them I still said them tonight. However, I edited them out, for my own sake
    20:12 – for the record, Mike & Schmoe’s HDTV’s are 1080i plasmas from Vizio
    21:02 – some say “jacket”, others say “inner sleeve”
    22:39 – see 11:55
    23:02 – The Whole Enchilada
    23:50 – for the record, I’m referring to the Samsung BD-UP5000. And I completely forgot how I also got the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy on Blu-ray, which I guess could be considered Buffetty
    24:30 – nice, inventive pronunciation of “supposedly” there, if I do say so myself
    25:43 – an explanation on why I’m laughing so much. To cut down on interference we have my phone on one end of the table and the speaker (a plain old computer speaker) on the other end. Even though Schmoe and I should be facing the phone and its microphone, so that Mike and Greg can hear us, we inevitably start addressing the speaker just because that’s where Mike and Greg’s voices are emanating. At this particular point in the recording, I noticed Schmoe was really leaning in toward the speaker. I gestured that he should turn and face the phone. He nodded, turned toward the phone briefly, and then turned right back to the speaker. The fact he acknowledged it and then two seconds later forgot it really cracked me up. Then again, maybe you had to be there.

Episode 58: A Last Can of Schmoe Hash

By Mickey on Leave a Comment

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, December 12 2007 (9:30 PM – 11:30 PM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
    “It’s our second annual Christmas episode! Greg joins Mickey & Schmoe, with Mike as the disembodied Spirit of Central Standard Time. With special guest appearances by Lee, Shields
& Yarnell, Joey Heatherton, and Chip Davis’s lawyers.”

    00:10 – Mike and Schmoe said they couldn’t recognize our theme song in this new Mannheim Steamroller-inspired version. “Deck in the Halls” is in the right speaker, our theme in the left, courtesy of GarageBand.
    01:02 – bandolero: did I mean bandolier?
    04:32 – the tavern at Southland Mall is now a Ruby Tuesday’s. Originally it was called McBob’s; and, thanks to my new scanner, here’s a photograph of the old interior with Christmas Carol:

Mickey, Mike, and Schmoe at left; Christmas Carol, center.

    07:59 – Radio Margaritaville finalists
    08:57 – JB’s appearance at DBA bar
    09:41 – StubHub’s 2007 tour rankings
    11:21 – the complete Times Union Parrot Head quiz
    16:00 – no calls please, it’s U of M football coach Rich Rodriguez
    16:28 – for the record, our 100th friend was the official RCPM listing
    17:02 – a clue!
    17:47 – another clue!!
    24:02 – Frozen Concoction Maker
    24:10 – Amazon’s Steve Goodman book
    24:23 – Squawker’s McCaw
    24:34 – Margaritaville Cargo.com
    24:44 – Windjammer Cruises
    27:56 – our other Mannheim Steamroller Christmas album parody. The original features a recorder and although I have one I was lazy and just used a MIDI flute sound instead.
    28:50 – our tribute to Cheers. Note the phone delay … and Schmoe’s scat-singing skills.

Episode 57: Bollocks

By Mickey on 1 Comment

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, December 5 2007 (9:30 PM – 12:00 AM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
    “Just the core group of Schmoe, Mike, and Mickey this week, discussing the latest news, reminiscing about old concerts, and finally wrapping up their four-part review of the box
set. (Cameo by Lee.)”

    The plan was to record Wednesday, November 28; but evidently we were still too sleepy and full from Thanksgiving. The recording was postponed till Wednesday, December 5, when we would finish up our review of the boxed set with a discussion of “Ballads”.
    My apologies once again for taking so long to upload this. Not only are things typically busy at this time of year, but I spent two days just looking for my cassettes of the 1991 concert.
    And now, the show notes:
    01:10 – please tell me you all still know what Centipede is
    01:52 – of couse, this is a reference to the Live in Anguilla review n our previous episode, of coure
    02:51 – MTV’s blurb on Anguilla sales, via BuffettWorld.
    03:08 – WSJ‘s story on Palm Beach water guzzling, via BuffettNews
    05:07 – yes, we saw two concerts that tour
    06:29 – this refers to the first Palace show, back on Friday, June 30 1989. I’m pretty sure we talked about this, and even featured some audio, but to be honest I can’t remember what episode it was.
    08:17 – link to the ill-fated Journeyman, which Schmoe and I had just started really getting into…in time for its cancellation
    08:51 – Keating’s comments, via BuffettWorld.
    10:03 – Thomas Crompton’s blog post on the Chinese charity concert
    12:04 – story on Pulaski County, via BuffettNews’s discussion board.
    13:54 – Last Mango Stables
    14:05 – a reference to The Sopranos episode “Whoever Did This” from Season 4
    14:37 – I did not have access to a copy of Knocked Up so this audio comes from a clip YouTube. (And boy was I tempted to try editing around the phrase “her and her doctor”. What the hell kind of English is that?!)
    15:26 – a reference to the Scrubs episode “My Identity Crisis” from Season 7
    16:20 – you know, that joke never gets old. No…wait a moment…it does
    18:30 – “Everlasting Moon” debuted during the “Jimmy’s Jump Up” tour of 1990
    19:52 – our memories are not entirely correct. The shooting star occurred during Pirate Looks at 40
    21:09 – with my luck they probably only performed “Money Back Guarantee”. I almost forgot: the notes for Episode 28 have a link to the DVD of this show, available on Amazon
    23:14 – that rant sounded better in my head
    32:17 – “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo”
    33:59 – audio recorded Saturday, July 27 1991
    35:10 – the preceding was provided by the good folks at PodSchmoe.com
    We’re planning a new show on the 12th and we invite you to add your comments by e-mailing us at podcast@northcoastcast.com or leaving a voicemail message at 1-774-221-7346.

Episode 56: Thanksguilla

By Mickey on 1 Comment

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, November 14 2007 (9:30 PM – 11:30 PM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
    “This week, a look at Live in Anguilla and, in honor of the season, we ponder what
Buffetty things we’re thankful for. Hud is back, Mike is still on the phone, and Scott finally returns after a long absence. (Cameos by Deano, Lee, and a dessert pizza.)”

    00:00 – notice a difference in the sound? No, not Scott; I’m talking about the fact this week’s show is monaural. I will admit to nothing, other than to confirm that, yes, this week’s show is monaural
    02:32 – CMA winners
    02:44 – Corona sponsoring Chesney tour
    03:39 – JB with Little Feat | 03:46 – JB and Sonny Landreth
    04:22 – Amazon’s Eric Clapton’s autobiography link
    04:34 – Radio Margaritaville DJ contest
    10:56 – a catch phrase first introduced in Episode 13
    17:17 – Scott’s detestation of Best Buy stems from the events described in Episode 50
    18:47 – actually they were written the day before our Episode 46 session
    20:51 – Schmoe is referencing his less than successful acting job as the female lead in the Big Finish of Episode 50
    24:58 – oh Lord, don’t get me started
    34:48 – don’t get me started on that either
    35:37 – an old quote from Greg, which we’ve probably mentioned before
    35:58 – Schmoe told me later he meant to imply I could edit him even more
    36:54 – this old wheeze was severely overwritten, but was truncated here not only to save time but to get to the very predicable punchline faster
    Oh all right. I confess. The reason the show is monaural is because, before we started our talk, I had too many Bud Lights and drunkenly fucked up the record settings.

Episode 55: Homemade Musings

By Mickey on Leave a Comment

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, November 7 2007 (10:00 PM – 11:00 PM), at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
    “Not only does Mike join Schmoe and Mickey on the phone again, but Hud is back and
Patti returns for her second visit! The top of discussion is Hot Water, and these losers, these losers, these losers just drone on… (Cameo by Tommy.)”

    I bought a new and shielded cord for our speaker phone setup, to eliminate any more interference, only to find the cord would not work for some reason. Luckily, Schmoe had some audio cords in his car and we were finally able to contact Mike and get the show rolling.
    00:10 – Patti’s previous visit was when back in Episode 2
    01:30 – Amazon’s listing for the unofficial Jimmy Buffett Concert Handbook
    02:41 – Patti tried talking us into a road trip since her birthday coincided with the second Las Vegas show. Unfortunately for her, we’re too cheap.
    05:51 – Jimmy’s intro was slightly edited here to save time
    06:56 – “Tin Cup Chalice” was performed, but it was not aired on Radio Margaritaville so sadly it cannot be included here
    07:09 – oops, this interview with Mike Utley actually preceded the Thursday show, not the Saturday show. Jimmy’s interview on Saturday was actually an interesting, serious talk about his touring ethic and I include it here as an extra:

    08:10 – nope. Jimmy, George Strait, and Alan Jackson lost to Tracy Lawrence, Tim McGraw, and the upstart Kenny Chesney. And Mac McAnally lost to Jerry Douglas.
    09:46 – you can hear Bill make the suggestion at 38:17 in Episode 54
    14:39 – nope, I was thinking of “Lage Nom Ai” I guess. “Great Heart” was the leadoff song for the Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays tour.
    14:55 – you can’t hear it all that well, but Patti admits “I like ‘Pre-You'”
    15:39 – George Blaha
    15:53 – Schmoe is right, the video was shown during the intermission of the February 17 1998 show
    18:16 – Duck Dunn & Steve Cropper
    26:44 – Patti mentions “Rick Springfield”
    30:42 – “Great Heart” iTunes link
    31:39 – I can’t locate it in Episode 54 any more, so maybe Greg mentioned it before the mics were on. “Smart Woman in a Real Short Skirt” scared him, he said, because it reminded him of pick-up lines from his single days.
    31:59 – I said this because I would be celebrating a birthday in two days (and finishing the edit)
    32:46 – Jimmy and Marshall Chapman exchanged a kiss (or maybe just an embrace — I was sitting far back, after all) after performing “Perfect Partner” on July 4 1987
    33:23 – Last Mango in Paris was released in June 1985
    35:01 – this recording of “That’s What Living is to Me” comes from July 4 1987. (And I forgot to mention it includes steel drum here too.)
    37:30 – if I could find it, here’s where I’d link to that “Arlo & Janis” strip
    The snippet of “That’s What Living is to Me” is from July 4 1987.
    P.S.: New show next week. We’ll be reviewing Live in Aguilla and also talking about “songs we’re thankful for”. Share your own thoughts at podcast@northcoast.com or 1-774-221-7346.
    P.P.S.: Happy Birthday to Me!

Episode 54: Sawings to Gnaw My Heart

By Mickey on Leave a Comment

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, October 24 2007 (9:30 PM – 11:00 PM), at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
    “There’s safety in numbers. The whole coven joins together to brew up a terrifying Halloween episode. Mike conjures himself across country and there’s even an attack by an undead Hud! Horrifying lulls, scary song titles, jokes returning from the dead — but … no GSM phone noise!”

    Mu-wa-ha-ha-ha-haaa!  Mine is an evil laugh!  Welcome to our Halloween episode — uploaded just in time too. This week’s episode required the use of two operating systems! Part of it was edited under OS X 10.4 Tiger and the remainder was finished in OS X 10.5 Leopard. Notice a difference?
    It would be nice to say our dedication to fixing the GSM noise problem caused Mike to fly up from Houston to join us in person, but it was actually just a coincidence. The project Mike is working on needs to be done by the end of the year, so his employers gave him this week off to give him a break before “crunch time” starts.
    00:04 – I’m not really sure what happened to Greg, even though I was sitting across from him. Schmoe moved his chair back and somehow Greg, sitting next to him, got hurt. As far as the subsequent references, perhaps someone more knowledgeable will illuminate us in the comments.
    01:26 – “…in my brain” has become our new catchphrase evidently, thanks to Greg’s mention of “my brain’s iPod” in the Episode 51. Hopefully you won’t get too sick of it, since you’ll be hearing this a lot
    02:59 – Jackson’s dot-Mac listserv group can be found at groups.mac.com/oneparticularph
    03:51 – Jimmy’s Detroit show for the Beach House tour was Tuesday, June 8 1999. Here’s the setlist.
    04:00 – our original album art, before my niece created our cool logo, was photographed before Jimmy’s Tiki Time concert: Tuesday, June 24 2003.
    04:11 – the video exists in crappy old RealVideo, but maybe one day I’ll re-edit it to something better
    06:27 – Jimmy calls her Chicamauga in “False Echoes” and A Pirate Looks at Fifty, but the news stories call her Chiquimula
    08:17 – Mac McAnally news story
    13:22 – the big screen TV got shut off (which Hud was facing), but the one above the bar was left on (which Greg, Schmoe, and Mike could see)
    18:27 – I’m really surprised I haven’t read any Headmaster jokes after the news broke. And how does Michael Gambon feel with his photo accompanying every article?
    23:44 – despite the long edit time, I still managed to screw this section up. I forgot to drop the recording in over the top of what I played live, but his has since been corrected. This message was left on August 24 2007, from New Hampshire.
    24:22 – Greg switched positions, in the stereo spectrum, because he was returning from a bathroom break
    24:34 – more outtakes from Episode 52. Aurora Rd was indeed the address of our SpringHill Marriott. Hud is referring to our last Caseville weekend.
    26:38 – another of Greg’s many nicknames, and it has been for many many years
    28:08 – don’t get the joke? Listen to Episode 53 from 13:18 to 15:49. This will quite likely be another running gag too.
    28:08 – Count Scary, played by WOMC’s Tom Ryan, hosted TV specials for WDIV, the NBC affiliate in Detroit. Scary was quite obviously based on the Count Floyd character played by Joe Flaherty of SCTV.
    34:50 – hey, I got the song title right! But it’s a swinging cutlass, not a swinging scythe.
    35:27 – Hud mentions “The Wind Cries Mary” because he has borrowed Schmoe’s JB discography printout and is scanning song titles
    38:06 – I heard a story on NPR how houses in Detroit could be bought for only a couple thousand dollars, but I can’t find that story any more. So I’ll link to this Detroit housing story instead. Update: here’s a related posting, of Detroit houses for less than $250.
    38:17 – and this, ladies and gentlemen, is how we decided Episode 55 will be our review of Hot Water. Send your reviews and comments to podcast@northcoastcast.com or leave a voice message at 1-774-221-7346.
    44:27 – “Isn’t this where we came in?”  — Greg does his own inadvertent homage to The Wall.
    45:26 – early listeners got to hear an editing oversight here too

Episode 53: Bores

By Mickey on 1 Comment

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, October 10 2007 (8:30 PM – 11:30 PM) after Episode 52, at Casa de Greg, Dearborn MI
    “The boys continue their discussion of the box set with disc three, “Bars”. But to be blunt, this one sucks. The microphones picked up a steady stream of GSM noise from our conference call with Mike; and, honestly, if you skip this one I, your humble description writer, would completely understand. (Return appearance by Cathy.)”

    Here’s the second half of what we recorded in Greg’s basement. We had minimal phone noise then, but nothing but phone noise this time. The only difference is we called Mike the first time and Mike called us the second half. And, based on this minimal research, I would posit that receiving a phone call causes more interference than making one. Thank you for contributing to our lesson. Because of the interference I added a bit more noise reduction than usual, but the GSM noise remains omnipresent.
    Schmoe cleared up the confusion over the four questions with a revision, e-mailed the morning of October 9.

1) Review the new songs on the disc
B) What songs (3 or so) would you take off that CD?
3) What songs (3 or so) would you put in its place (from the time period the set covers)?
D) What songs (3 or so) released SINCE the boxed set would you put on that disc?

    09:12 – silly me, I thought Greg was implying the song had been used in a Rodney Dangerfield movie, not that the lyrics were the same as a title of a Rodney Dangerfield movie.  …And the name of the dive is the Triple Lindy.
    12:55 – James Jones on Wikipedia (my hesitation stemmed from fear of confusing Jones’s bibliography with Herman Wouk’s)
    13:33 – Mufasa’s line is “Remember who you are.”
    24:57 – another Arrested Development quote
    26:03 – at last, the story Greg merely hinted at three minutes into Episode 52.
    28:52 – speaking of Episode 52, Greg’s little comment was taken from the earlier show to make the transition to his wife reappearing. The joke was actually recorded before our second call with Mike, which explains why it is blessedly free of GSM interference.
    30:02 – please send your suggestions for heated, alcoholic, dairy-free drinks to podcast@northcoastcast.com.

Episode 52: Strummed and Rum’d

By Mickey on Leave a Comment

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, October 10 2007 (8:30 PM – 11:30 PM), at Casa de Greg, Dearborn MI
    “The Roger Clyne podcast starts at 00:00.  The boys reminisce about their weekend seeing RCPM in Detroit and Cleveland; and they interview Chad Heckler, the man who made Roger’s new guitar. (Cameo appearance by Cathy.)”

    Attack of the Clyne-cast, Part II.
    We recorded two shows last Wednesday, the Roger Clyne show presented here and the “Bars” review we promised earlier. Schmoe couldn’t round up enough people for wallyball so we ended up simply recording the show at Greg’s house. His basement, specifically. We assumed the Clyne podcast would be brief, consisting of a quick wraparound to our interview with Chad Heckler; but we ended up talking for an hour and a half! What we’d assumed would be a quick and easy bonus show for the feed turned into our longest episode yet.
    Chad Heckler’s MySpace page.
    Our locations in Ferndale: The Post, Howe’s Bayou (link pending), and The Magic Bag Theater.
    Here’s the Waterin’ Hole page where people first started discussing Roger’s new guitar.
    Chad’s custom guitar for Roger: 1 | 2 | in action.
    11:26 – Red 57
    11:47 – Ha!. and you thought this show would have no Buffett content!
    12:43 – Pictures of Roger’s “Old Faithful”:

Old Faithful, front

Old Faithful, back

    13:02 – buy Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy direct from The Peacemakers
    14:09 – Brian Blush
    17:55 – Chad’s favorites: Better Than Ezra and The Refreshments.
    27:51 – Detroit concert recorded by yours truly. Much of what we talk about an be viewed in our Gallery: Detroit album
    35:52 – The old Beatles song is “She Came in Through the Bathroom Window”.
    37:06 – yes, Cleveland refers to themselves as the “North Coast” and Wikipedia says that Michigan is really the “Third Coast”. Too late to change our podcast name though, I guess. I still contend that Michigan’s two peninsulas offer more of a coast than Cleveland’s.
    40:20 – ironically, while we were just down the street from the stadium we watched the midge attack on TV like anyone else
    41:00 – Latvian dance music performed by Atštaukas
    43:18 – Cleveland concert recorded by Matt Miller (complete recording available here). Much of what we talk about an be viewed in our Gallery: Cleveland album.
    43:49 – Diana’s MySpace page | Tippy’s MySpace page. Tippy also has some excellent photos of the Detroit and Cleveland shows, over on her Flickr page.
    44:47 – another one of those references to an old story from college
    46:38 – Shelly and Tim’s MySpace pages: 1 | 2

Episode 51: Chanson des Abrutis Bavards

By Mickey on Leave a Comment

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, September 26 2007 (9:30 PM – 11:30 PM), at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
    “Greg and Scott are no-shows, but Mike joins Mickey and Schmoe via speakerphone to review Volcano and to pay tribute to Episode 11. Guests: Lee and, just barely, Jennifer.”

    00:11 – Autumn 2007 began Sunday, September 23, 5:51 AM (EDT)
    02:13 – not all of Canada, just the Canadians I deal with at work
    02:21 – evidently, on the day of our recording, a US dollar was worth $1.0039 Canadian. And also on this day, the US dollar hit a new low against the Euro. One US dollar was worth 0.707 EUR.
    02:44 – to hell with putting clips in context!
    04:00 – you can read all the “Glory Days” complaints during the “live commenting” on BuffettNews
    05:21 – here’s an image of what we’re talking about
    05:49 – an RCPM related story best explained in the comments … right?
    07:38 – as discussed in Episode 32
    09:23 – nostalgia for LPs, I mean, not scratchy playback
    09:28 – and no Buffett LPs, I mean. I’ve got plenty of LPs, believe me; just not any Buffett LPs
    11:12 – I never knew Schmoe was so determined to talk about Mike’s cutoffs
    12:10 – Gary is Greg’s older brother. (Should I have mentioned this?)
    14:55 – I thought I saw this same Chet Flippo article online somewhere, but the best I can find is this reference to it in the Steve Eng book (via Google Books)
    15:54 – Greg’s Word DOC [PDF]
    17:15 – yep, One Particular Harbour in 1983. BuffettWorld confirms it
    19:12 – well, you guys know the “Fins to the left, fins to the right” part. But the third step in the Fins Dane is to put your left fist in your right armpit and your fist over your left shoulder. Then move your elbows apart, like a giant shark mouth. (I really wish I could do technical drawings.)  We’re not making this up either. Jimmy explained the Fins Dance back in the 70s
    22:00 – link to Episode 11
    22:11 – it just so happens Greg still possesses this cassette tape, and that we do shout a greeting between “Fins” and “Volcano”. Here is an excerpt from that actual cassette:

    22:19 – link to Episode 11
    22:56 – hey Greg, it’s “stylus” [stī’-ləs]
    23:27 – Landshark listing in Wikipedia
    24:49 – remora listing in Wikipedia
    25:46 – no podcast next week, as most of us will be seeing Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers on Thursday, October 4 and in Cleveland on October 5. Look for other upcoming shows at the AZ Peacemakers site
    25:57 – buy Roger Clyne’s “D-Back Swing” at the Peacemakers’ new Digital Downloads site. The WAOTNC boys also recommend The Whole Enchilada. Eight CDs for fifty bucks!
    30:42 – James Taylor’s brothers are named Alex, Livingston, and Hugh. He also has a sister named Kate.
    31:06 – “Treat Her Like a Lady” is available at the bottom of my my 2000 setlist page
    31:45 – do most people think “Treat Her Like a Lady” is about a ship or about the ocean? Chime in in the comments
    32:42 – Schmoe’s daughter Kate is infatuated with horses
    33:56 – let’s see how long it takes Margaritaville.com to fix their Volcano track list
    34:35 – “…respectively”
    35:49 – a reference of course to our recent Caseville mini-podcasts
    36:03 – yep the LP lyrics say “Princess Lia”
    36:50 – once again, here’s an example of what Greg’s talking about, right off his cassette. Schmoe’s recording style really is a mood-killer:

    38:29 – link to my 1998 setlist page
    40:38 – Schmoe’s gone Hollywood. He’s talking about himself in the third person.
    47:30 – link to Episode 11
    48:40 – dang it, I forgot to add rimshots
    49:49 – no, actually it’s Episode 41
