Show Notes:
Recorded Tuesday, April 19 2011 (9:00 PM – 11:30 PM) at Casa de Scott, Allen Park MI
“Mid-April marks the start of the 2011 tour, and how did we celebrate? By throwing a listening party for the new Roger Clyne CD! But don’t worry, we still talk about the Tampa concert and the exciting new changes to the setlist. (Special guests: Todd and Ron.)”
The show description originally began with “April 19 marked the start of the 2011 tour”. This is inaccurate; the tour began in Tampa on Saturday, April 16. April 19 was the release date of Unida Cantina as well as the date of the tour’s second stop, at Raleigh. What can I say, I wrote it after a long day of editing.
Get Unida Cantina from Roger (CD or vinyl), at Amazon (CD

01:56 – a much better photo than I remember, from @peacemakerjd on Twitter
02:14 – fan photo from RCPM’s sombrerofied Salt River Fields concert, April 16 2011
04:35 – RCPM’s Watering Hole discussion board
06:20 – radio interview from The Blaze, ASU’s Alternative Radio 1330 AM, March 24 2011
20:01 – a time cut
23:29 – Eddie Money’s “I Think I’m in Love”
29:17 – sound effect provided by Scott’s djay app
30:14 – Chad Heckler’s Heckler Custom Guitars
33:13 – I was merely nodding toward Scott’s speakers; I didn’t expect the gesture would provoke such a reaction. And his speakers are quite good; he was just playing everything too loud for the room.
50:38 – told you the speakers were loud
53:41 – O.A.R.’s official site | O.A.R. on Wikipedia
1:01:34 – Scott is trying to play “Green & Dumb” out of his music library but keeps finding live versions
1:24:23 – as you can hear in the concert montage in Episode 144, they did perform “Boomerang Love” in Australia (but this was the same show where Jimmy had his accident, so I guess you can excuse his confusion)
1:26:37 – a time cut
1:27:41 – Jimmy changed this for the following concert, repeating that line twice just like he wanted
1:29:53 – the full song, we mean, since some of it had been performed last year during “Where the Boat Leaves From”
1:31:29 – especially since it sounded like a newer arrangement of “Son of a Sailor”, which I wouldn’t expect needs another arrangement
1:35:26 – more from The Blaze radio interview
Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, April 13 2011 (10:00 PM – 11:30 PM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
“It’s another season finale! Topics include taxes, the start of a new tour, the release of a new RCPM CD, Square Grouper, a follow-up review of Mike’s M’ville eyewear, Amish racing, chat slang, and Schmoe’s terrible personal problem. (Cameo by Annie.) (The Roger Clyne podcast starts at 14:23.)”
00:06 – that knocking from behind the wall is indisputable evidence that…the back room is haunted!
02:36 – note to our readers: apparently, Schmoe did the same spit-take when listening to the episode in his car
03:00 – “April 16 is Jimmy Buffett Day in Florida“, from Buffett News | “Florida Congressman Proposes ‘Jimmy Buffett Day’“, from Buffett World
04:39 – nope
05:29 – nope
05:34 – nope
05:50 – “Are Sharks Mammals or Fish“, from Buzzle.com

06:41 – “Buffett Performs StageIt event in St Bart’s“, from Buffett News | “Buffett Helps Demo StageIt at SXSW“, from Buffett World
07:16 – “Head Hurts, Feet Stink“, “Chanson“, and “Volcano” (via Coconut Television)

17:52 – “Mike’s eyewear video again
18:29 – a reference to the old commercial for BluBlockers sunglasses
21:09 – M’ville Lifestyle.com
26:17 – it’s Annie, the beer girl at Wesburn Golf Course
26:47 – Annie references her studies in squamous and cuboidal cells
27:55 – I guess she’s thinking of the sign at Northville Downs
31:37 – meanwhile, I’m picturing this
Jimmy got another shout-out in the Late Show Top Ten List, Wednesday night, April 13. (For all you completists, the other half of the Top Ten follows after the jump.)

Mike got himself a pair of Margaritaville Eyewear recently. Here he is, showing them off.
We weren’t able to record a new episode last night (since one or two of us had family matters to attend to) but we at least got this little video recorded. Here are some other photos from our mini-cast.

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, March 16 2011 (11:00 PM – 12:00 PM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
“Mike, Schmoe, and Mickey are back together again, in time to discuss their ticket-buying adventures for Detroit’s other big concert event and to recap the third Sydney show. (Special guest: Joe Maj.)”
Waddaya know. First Charlie Sheen invades our Buffett podcast and now Jimmy wants to cash-in on Charlie’s blatherings. From Buffett World: “Buffett Trademarks ‘Tiger Blood’ for Vodka Energy Drink“. Can’t say I’d find something called “Tiger Blood” all that appealing, but maybe that’s why Jimmy makes the big bucks and we release a free podcast.
01:33 – the complete tour name was “Violent Torpedo of Truth / Defeat is Not an Option” and it, as you probably already know, opened in Detroit on April 2 2011, to less than winning reviews.
Speaking of Sheenisms, the name for this episode comes from the Sheen quote, “Boom, crush. Night, losers. Winning, duh”; and was, for a long time, “Night Losers Winning”. An alternate was “Vatican Assassin Warlocks”.
08:39 – that detailed PDF map link, again
20:50 – the interview’s background music was part of the broadcast and was not added by me
32:56 – Jimmy did this verse during the other two Sydney shows, but we saved it for now since this one got the best reaction
Show Notes:
Recorded Saturday, March 12 2011 (8:30 PM – 11:00 PM) at Schmoe’s Cantina Dos, Dearborn MI
“Mickey goes to Schmoe’s Cantina Dos for the lowdown on the Kalamazoo road trip, ticket buying plans, and a recap of the second Sydney concert. (The Roger Clyne podcast starts at 3:39.)”
Two shows in a week! Just trying to make up for missing all of February.
00:25 – Roger Clyne and PH Naffah performed at The Strutt in Kalamazoo on Wednesday, March 2
06:01 – Chad Heckler on Facebook | Chad Heckler’s Custom Guitars
07:26 – my TwitPic photo (taken at Vreeland Market, before going to Schmoe’s Cantina. Now that I think of it, I should go take a photo of my vandalism)
14:20 – Mickey’s Audio Island
14:39 – wrong again. It was the 1998 Winter Tour (which, in my defense, was at least a continuation of the “Havana Daydreamin'” tour) and tickets went on sale on a Tuesday and not a Monday.
15:21 – their behavior inspired us to write some parody songs, one by Mike and one by me
20:34 – Swine Not
21:04 – Swine Not, for the Nook
21:30 – According to Trading Stocks, Borders is closing their Ann Arbor, Dearborn, Grosse Point, and Utica locations. Schmoe, however, has reminded me there are three Borders in Ann Arbor, and the one closing is in the Arborland Mall. “For the record,” he writes, “the huge. two-floor, campus Borders is staying open and the one on the outskirts, right near US-23 and the Ypsi borderline, is the one closing.”
22:17 – Leah Flanagan
31:59 – a time jump
40:04 – another time jump (Jimmy was about to introduce “Bama Breeze”)
41:56 – an obvious time jump
42:30 – if you hear the crowd chanting then you’ve got the corrected version of this episode. An incomplete edit was online for a couple hours, by mistake.
Palacenet.com, the website for the Meadowbrook and Pine Knob (DTE Energy) amphitheaters and the Palace of Auburn Hills arena, had Buffett’s ad as the sole image for their front page. This splash page is no more, but you can still see the image here.
It took a few days, but the Detroit Free Press finally printed this year’s concert ad today, Sunday. Presumably this is our first look at the “Fin Land” logo.

Show Notes:
Recorded Wednesday, March 9 2011 (10:30 PM – 11:30 PM) at Zodiac Racquet Club, Southgate MI
“After an unplanned month-long break, Mike and Mickey take up the slack and record something at last — if only to share the last concert roundup for 2010 and the first for 2011. (Special guest: Jennifer.)”
00:55 – for example, Mike had to take a night off for his anniversary, Mickey had a friend visit from California, Schmoe had a sick day or two, etc.
03:07 – Buffett World’s announcement on Twitter
03:14 – WOMC’s announcement
07:08 – “Buffett’s Panama Vacation“, at Buffett News

07:57 – 2011 poster order page — come on, it’s only nine hundred bucks!
09:22 – Mike’s Circuit City ad
10:40 – having Elvis play behind the introduction to the Las Vegas show was a completely unplanned
15:01 – a time jump
15:25 – another time jump
15:37 – an old story, but included for the f-bomb
29:01 – Jimmy’s “20 years ago today” and banter followed “Brown Eyed Girl” and preceded the band introductions
35:05 – Jimmy made this same mistake throughout the song
37:52 – “Growing Older But Not Up” was the last song but “Louisiana 1927” just seemed a better ending for the montage
39:30 – again, the one-and-only Schmoenade recipe
40:43 – “February is second snowiest recorded“, according to the Detroit News, February 26 2011.
