The Best/Worst Moments of last night's show

[Paul DeLouisiana]

I think Spike has made it absolutely clear that he cares about no one but himself. And that's why we all love him. His gross narcissism fascinates us.

He hasn't called recently because he couldn't manage to find a way to tie Tom's flood struggles into a story about himself.

[buffcoat]

More properly: "Howza boutit?"


Listening to the first Gorch call the other day: I would find it almost impossible to match the original Gorch voice to JW.  The later one sounds like an old man version of some of the other voices, but the first time he does it it sounds like a different person.

He underrates himself in that regard.

That sinewy Seona Dancing...

Alrighty, the FOT's have spoken and I shall 'cool it' when it comes to Mr. Spike.  27 hours til the next Best Show...

Can't find the week where Pearl Jam came up ... was anyone shocked, if by chance you strolled past the "P" section in a CD/record store, to find that Pearl Jam are now the Grateful Dead? They have almost 300 live "official" bootleg releases.

When I was in highschool I remember considering buying a Pearl Jam cd to get into them and seeing all those things and admitting defeat. I never looked back. I did like the Into The Wild soundtrack but haven't listened to anymore of the ukelele crap. I was hoping that that'd just be a one time thing where I could say I like Eddie Vedder solo and mean it.

I loved how the guy doing the Sweathogs' voices made them sound vaguely like Irving Cohen.

[cavorting with nudists]

I was going to say that who the ersatz Sweathogs guy really sounds like is Andrew Dice Clay doing his "gurl" voice, but after 3 minutes of looking through his YouTube clips for examples, I had to take a puke break.

This is the blog post that DJ Keili referred to on this week's show:

This is the blog I created in 2007 for the Linus the Blogger character.  Amazing.

FANTASTIC.

"Maid in Manhattan and Scorpio Rising."

"Just Got Paid" bed music.

"It's not Marduk, is it?"

Hall of Fame show last week.  And the week before, for that matter.

I actually tried to call in on the Orson Welles topic, but couldn't get through.  It's probably for the best!

Fonzerelli Slide

The full version of the Fonzarelli Slide. The fact that it's one guy doing all the voices is kind of impressive excpet for the fact that none of them sound anything like the people he's supposed to be imitating.

That segment was horrifying. It was simultaneously best and worst. That voices guy is the worst. 'Hey Fonz are you gonna be the new leader of the Sweathogs?' Worst crossover event ever.

I like to imagine that no time travel was involved in the crossover. Instead it's a 45 year old Fonzie in 1979 still desperately trying to be cool. Which I suppose might make him something of a proto-Gorch.

Here's a picture of Noveller summoning demons, a la Mr. Page

This was the scenario I envisioned as well.
