Having learned yesterday, via Buffett World, that WOMC 104.3 had broken the news of a July 21 Pine Knob concert, I kept my recorder tuned to WOMC this morning to attempt capturing this year’s radio commercial. I recorded four hours this morning (an hour forty-five of which was silence…grrrr) and another two hours this afternoon. WOMC broadcast the ad at 12:40 PM.
The ad is shorter than usual, only :30, and I’m not sure if this is a cost-saving measure or if there might be a :60 version out there too. There was no newspaper ad this morning in the Detroit Free Press so I’m keeping an eye out for that as well. Update: I managed to catch the :60 version Friday, March 11, on WCSX 94.7. I recorded six hours of them this morning and, listening back to the files, encountered the ad after only fourteen minutes (having aired at around 6:20 AM, I guess). Quite the opposite of how it usually goes…

“Our Australian correspondents fill us in on Jimmy’s tour Down Under, Mickey rounds up the Irvine CA show, and Schmoe provides the latest about his nipples. (Special guest: Jennifer.)”
Jimmy sure knows how to make an exit. His return to Australia after twenty-two years made headlines, but probably not the way he would’ve wanted.
Mike provides this week’s title. Alternates include:
Gravity Storm
Last Man Standing
Stars Fell In Australia
Why the Things We Do
Survive
Beyond the End…Of the Stage
Face Plant For the Night
Sinko de Jimmyo
I Wish the Stage Could Last Forever
When the Stagefront Betrays Me
A Pirate Looks at Floory
Defining Gravity
Changes in Altitudes
08:19 – more video from TMZ.com: Steven Tyler fell off the stage in Toronto, in August 2010 08:55 – Listener Brett guested in Episode 30 09:07 – audio is off the video from 6:53 09:54 – Listener Mat’s video, at the Sydney Opera House:
12:25 – the Auckland show was scheduled for Saturday; I was confusing it with Radio M’ville’s broadcast of the second Opera House concert on Friday 12:35 – Jim Mayer’s Twitter post 15:01 – our partial research shows Hordern Pavilion is twice the capacity of the Opera House 15:30 – Listener Fiona’s pictures, at our WAOTNC Photo Gallery 18:15 – a couple hours after this recording, we got word the Auckland concert had been officially canceled 18:57 – “Buffett to appear on Lionel Richie Album” from Buffett News 30:28 – this quote followed “Creola” 37:56 – sorry, the M’ville Liquor Chiller deal ended on January 28 2011 38:37 – Mike bought us M’ville Spiced Rum for Christmas back on December 22 39:06 – Molly Maid 39:15 – Larry is the proprietor of Zodiac, and back on December 3 he hosted a poker party — at which Schmoe and Scott knocked out half of his outdoor Christmas decorations when they decided to cut across the front lawn rather than use the sidewalk like grown-ups. 42:53 – to be honest, Mr T’s “thumb dance” has morphed over the years from him simply standing up and pointing to the back of his t-shirts into us doing these moves from Airplane! 45:12 – this was pretty much confirmed in the video Jimmy recorded the next day:
49:25 – nope, not “Katie”: it’s Leah Flanagan 56:58 – Colin Hay will be at the Ark (in Ann Arbor MI) on April 28 and April 29 57:12 – vegemite on Wikipedia 58:31 – Vitameatavegamin 58:40 – welcome to Schmoe’s second nipplecast. The first one can be heard in Episode 126 1:03:40 – Chafe Free 1:05:22 – Good God, that was the longest lead-up ever! I hope the joke is worth it… 1:06:34 – …oh well… 1:06:51 – more audio off the video from 6:53

“For the first show of 2011, we look at the top stories of 2010 and the concert roundup is from Portland. (Special guest: Michele. Cameos by Jennifer and Lee.)”
00:21 – unfortunately I cannot find this cell phone commercial anywhere online (and can’t even remember what company it was for). 02:28 – since the purpose of these entries is to share behind-the-scenes information, I might as well go ahead and admit her name is ██████. 06:33 – I’ve completely forgotten the story behind this, but Scott was referred to as “cherubic” by someone some time before recording, to Schmoe’s great delight 09:28 – I guess you could say I tangentially got something Buffetty for Christmas. I bought myself the John Lennon Signature Box, which includes Robert Greenidge playing on “Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)”. (A connection I had planned to make during our John Lennon episode but, once again, forgot to do.) 09:36 – for Christmas, Mike bought all the podcast guys a bottle of M’ville spiced rum 11:43 – Scott’s sound file got accidentally deleted; and this potion was all I was able to restore off the SD card, using some newly bought recovery software. 13:36 – at the time, I was assuming our opening blather would not make the show 13:40 – Ticket Web 14:38 – “Land Shark Bar & Grille to open May 2011 in Myrtle Beach” from Buffett News | “Land Shark Bar & Grill Coming to Myrtle Beach” from Buffett World 15:30 – Jimmy on the Today show 16:29 – “Hollywood Beach Margaritaville Resort gets approval“, from Buffett News 16:56 – “Margaritaville Eyewear Available Now, from Buffett World 18:20 – “Sail On, Jay Spell“, from Buffett News 19:06 – Tour Dates, at M’ville.com 19:46 – Welcome to Fin Land artwork 20:46 – Monty Python’s remastered Contractual Obligation Album and Spamalot CDs, from Amazon 22:04 – no surprise, there is a 1-800-ASK-GARY website, but that still wouldn’t stop me from teasing Schmoe 24:20 – Jimmy is referring to a pre-show interview, not a concert itself 27:03 – a couple highlights that didn’t make the montage are the return of “Rhumba Man” and a beautiful medley of “Cowboy in the Jungle” and “Banana Republics” 33:04 – DOM Coon let us know “Margaritaville Casino may be coming to Biloxi after all” and “New Margaritaville Casino plans are moving forward” 34:16 – “Buffett Ukulele Songbook Released“, from Buffett News 35:12 – Buffett World’s “Year in Review” for 2010 36:45 – the 30 Rock sound clip is at the end of Episode 120 38:06 – Jimmy’s South Park clip was included in Episode 126 (with screen-grabs in the blog) 38:51 – audio from the Late Show Top 10 was included at the end of Episode 128. Plus there was this reference included in the blog 41:05 – as evidence, the concert roundup in Episode 137 41:21 – Nothing But Monkeys 41:58 – from the TNT series‘ tenth episode, the season finale, “I Want To Be Free” 47:41 – download our theme song from iTunes (US) and Amazon.com 52:24 – music is “In My Canoe”, performed by The Beau Hunks [iTunes (US) link]

“Scott, Mickey, Mike, and Schmoe review Peter Mayer’s Goodbye Hello album, only about thirteen months after its release; and the concert roundup is from the October 16 Mountain View CA show. (Cameo by Jennifer.)”
01:18 – sorry about talking with my mouth full; I was finishing off the pizza. 01:48 – audio taken from one of the many versions on YouTube 03:05 – “Behind Cosell’s Announcement of Lennon’s Death, from New York Times 06:40 – Double Fantasy was released on November 17 1980 (US) 07:27 – Scott is reading from “Death of John Lennon” on Wikipedia 07:53 – John Lennon: The Life by Philip Norman [Amazon link] 08:28 – Hud used to drive me (and Mike’s sister) to high school 09:32 – Peter Mayer’s Goodbye Hello [Little Flock Music link] 11:02 – “Photos from Jimmy’s Appearance in Nashville“, at Buffett World 11:14 – “Videos from Andy Roddick Foundation Charity Gala“, at Buffett News 11:27 – setlist for the Andy Roddick Foundation gala, from Buffett News 11:37 – “Use Me” clip at YouTube, via Buffett News 11:50 – “Videos of Jimmy with Allen Toussaint at NOAAHH“, at Buffett News. Jimmy’s third appearance was a private show in Houston for American Express platinum cardholders. 12:28 – “Jimmy Buffett Announces Australia Concerts on Today Show“, at Buffett World 14:02 – Outsourced, at NBC.com 14:57 – refers to a U of M football Top Ten List in the Detroit Free Press and its “One Particular Harbaugh” listing. For more information on Jim Harbaugh, e-mail Schmoe. You’ll learn more than you ever wanted to know about University of Michigan football coaching. 15:34 – Mike’s shopping suggestion: the cordless Frozen Concoction Maker on sale at Buy.com 17:01 – our 2009 Christmas wishlist 17:26 – my insistence in making fun of Schmoe had me taking a clip from the end of the recording and jamming it here, hence the difference in sound 18:02 – unfortunately I failed to record this concert — the only one I missed this year — and had to use SunLover‘s MP3s from Buffett News. Note: there was no pre-show interview this night, Jimmy and Mac played through what would’ve been the intermission, and apparently Jimmy’s cold was why he sang “Margaritaville” so badly. 28:01 – specifically, Coverville #723 The 7th Annual Thanksgiving Double-Shot Beatles Cover Story 30:40 – hey! Scott set off a new alarm! 32:09 – “Shoot me” is what John Lennon repeats during the beginning of “Come Together” 34:17 – The Beatles remastered box set at Amazon: stereo and mono 36:20 – pistoning the forearm, much like the Irish Drinking Songs seen here 35:51 – St Mary’s in Rockwood MI 37:30 – Michele, by complete coincidence, will show up in Episode 140 38:12 – I seriously have no idea why I’m saying “frenchified” so much. I don’t know what came over me. 38:49 – an inside joke. Schmoe completed the Detroit marathon (as almost seen here) on October 18; Mike ran the half-marathon, and we won’t let him forget it. 44:40 – Nadirah Shakoor’s Nod to the Storyteller, which we reviewed in Episode 94 57:12 – Faygo Pop, a local pop company. [Warning: page loads with music.] 58:27 – get the “Love Theme from Wastin’ Away on the North Coast” at iTunes (US) and Amazon.com

“It’s our last podcast of the Summer. And it might sound like a rerun since we talk about album covers again, but it’s not. Really. And anyway there are two concert roundups too (Camden and Pittsburgh). (Guest appearance by Joe Maj. Cameos by Jennifer.)”
02:23 – the You Get What You Give Deluxe Editions from iTunes, Amazon, Target, Walmart, and the official site 04:17 – “Jimmy Buffett visits campus“, from The Student Printz 04:42 – “Trump Marina Hotel deal in Atlantic City off again“, from Buffet News | “Margaritaville Casino in Atlantic City now ‘Out of the Picture’“, from Buffett World 06:01 – Robert Greenidge’s A Coral Reefer Christmas, to be released on October 26 and available for pre-order 06:10 – see 7:18 07:18 – concert montage from Tuesday, August 10; the second show of the fourth leg of the tour, and the second of two shows from Camden NJ 19:46 – hear that, Mike? I bet Jimmy played that final chord just for you. 21:22 – I meant to repeat how I’m always giving License to Chill short shrift by always forgetting about it –- and, ironically, it slipped my mind! 23:20 – yes, I admit it, despite Schmoe’s admonition to ignore songs performed live, we still based our selections on concert setlists 24:52 – reviewed in Episode 104 27:15 – already covered in Episode 10 28:23 – Margaritaville Orlando has a cool t-shirt based on the Changes cover: Buy it here | View it here 31:51 – all this was previously discussed in Episode 10, including my photo of the original Feeding Frenzy packaging 33:33 – it appears the Songs You Know By Heart MasterDisc is out of print, so here’s the album cover just to prove my point (and to show all you youngsters what you’ve been missing):
Hey, MCA! THIS should be the cover!
38:45 – concert montage from Thursday, August 12, at Pittsburgh, the second to last show of the fourth leg of the 2010 tour 45:13 – transmission problems caused us to miss a song, to lose the beginning of “Volcano”, and for the rest of the concert to be broadcast in mono 50:21 – the “hillbilly shit” comment actually followed “Gypsies in the Palace”

“Listener Ed’s 2010 Alpine Valley review plus a concert roundup from Bristow VA. (Cameo by Jennifer.)”
And clips from the concert are part of our concert roundup in Episode 132B. 01:20 – for more on “shadows tall”, consult Episode 98 02:20 – Listener Ed’s blog 03:33 – here’s Listener Ed’s proof:
“Just wanted to show that the cell network could not process calls even though I had 5 bars.”
04:12 – I had the same thing happen at our Pine Knob show. As the intermission started, I tried sending one of my photos to TwitPic. A song and a half into the second set I finally gave up. 09:14 – our own concert roundup is part of Episode 132B as well 19:55 – here’s the photo I refer to 22:40 – “stopped mentioning”. I meant to say “stopped mentioning”. The exact opposite. What a dumbass. 22:50 – this was brought up in Episode 131. The mistake has been corrected, but here’s our screen-grab of it. 23:20 – “Margaritaville (Live) – Single” by Bret Michaels & Jimmy Buffett [iTunes link] 35:50 – the change in audio is because I moved the mics for the joke. The “We’re back” was in case the joke immediately followed the concert roundup.
