00:27 – New York Times Magazine article, “The Day the Music Burned“:

Eventually the flames reached a 22,320-square-foot warehouse that sat near the King Kong Encounter. The warehouse was nondescript, a hulking edifice of corrugated metal, but it was one of the most important buildings on the 400-acre lot. Its official name was Building 6197. To backlot workers, it was known as the video vault.
[…] The term “video vault” was in fact a misnomer, or a partial misnomer. About two-thirds of the building was used to store videotapes and film reels, a library controlled by Universal Studios’s parent company, NBCUniversal. But Aronson’s domain was a separate space, a fenced-off area of 2,400 square feet in the southwest corner of the building, lined with 18-foot-high storage shelves. It was a sound-recordings library, the repository of some of the most historically significant material owned by UMG, the world’s largest record company.
[…] The vault housed tape masters for Decca, the pop, jazz and classical powerhouse; it housed master tapes for the storied blues label Chess; it housed masters for Impulse, the groundbreaking jazz label. The vault held masters for the MCA, ABC, A&M, Geffen and Interscope labels. And it held masters for a host of smaller subsidiary labels. Nearly all of these masters — in some cases, the complete discographies of entire record labels — were wiped out in the fire.

02:01 – the list is part of a follow-up article, “Here Are Hundreds More Artists Whose Tapes Were Destroyed in the UMG Fire”

05:58 – New York Post: “Oklahoma Jimmy Buffett fans mysteriously fall ill while vacationing in Dominican Republic”

Our poor site, for one week in June

01:50 – unfortunately we’ve been unable to identify the bird in question. It appeared to have a white breast, gray wings, with some yellow near its tail feathers.
12:34 – Mike texted the Air Margaritaville photos on Sunday, June 16, at 7:43 PM.
15:49 – Mike is confused. We’ve discussed it via text; we obviously did not podcast about it.
19:41 – by “screen” Mickey means “site”.
20:40 – the scammers were attempting to imitate Absa Online, which is actually located at http://www.absa.co.za.
22:00 – oh, the hubris of trying to tell a story from memory while tipsy. The exact figures are $49.99 a month, which comes to $600 annually, but they’ll knock off a month if you pay for the whole year, which you have to do anyway since you can’t pay monthly. This makes it come to $550 a year, not “a month”.
23:05 – actually their quote was for $285
24:11 – Mickey is getting his numbers confused and is incapable of doing math in his head. He’s gotten $550 and $600 confused. But, like we said, the figures are $50 a month coming to $600 a year, reduced to $550.
32:30 – not exactly true. Norton Safe Web provides site owners with convenient links on the report page. Site Advisor’s contact page can be found via search engine.
36:23 – audio clip from Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, June 12.
