Actually the show is about Marc Maron and his issues, and either you enjoy his neurotic, angry, jealous, addictive, antic, bitter, probing, obsessive, self-loathing persona and love the podcast, or else it totally isn't for you. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/arts/09maron.html">The New York Times did a piece on WTF</a>, and Maron will be on Conan next week. WTF just made headlines as director Kevin Smith went off on Bruce Willis on his recent appearance. The podcast is becoming popular and influential, so as Maron starts becoming more famous after decades in the alternative comedy business, people are wondering: will this success ruin Marc Maron? Answer: no, because he's already ruined. At least that's how his comedy persona would respond. <br /><br />A good description from the NYT piece: "Mr. Maron, a stand-up comic by trade, has cast himself as an unlikely celebrity interviewer — one who is angry, probing, neurotic and a vulnerable recovering addict. And somehow he’s able to elicit from his guests, mostly other comedians like Sarah Silverman and Ben Stiller, the same level of vulnerability."<br /><br />WTF is available for free on iTunes, and averages about 230,000 downloads a week, meaning that Maron is regularly reaching a lot of people with the conversations he records in his garage-- far more than an alternative comedian could regularly reach. <br /><br />The must-hear WTF episodes are <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lee-stranahan/marc-maron-enters-mind-of_b_595136.html">the ones where Carlos Mencia talks about</a> dealing with the accusations that he is an a-hole who steals material from other comedians, which is the third rail of comedy that must never be touched. Most other comedians hate Mencia, but Maron gives him a fair chance to be himself, and just observes and gently prods as <a href="http://castroller.com/podcasts/WtfWithMarc/1652955-Episode%2075%20-%20Carlos%20Mencia">Mencia spins out his own unique version of reality. </a> Must listening.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879461584728820893.post-19981260031928956402011-01-20T10:24:00.000-05:002011-01-20T10:26:15.525-05:00Twitter WarningThe Surgeon General's warning on Twitter:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://static.someecards.com/someecards/images/feed_assets/4d384bde0c20d.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 600px; height: 452px;" src="http://static.someecards.com/someecards/images/feed_assets/4d384bde0c20d.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879461584728820893.post-406477465593594912011-01-19T23:31:00.004-05:002011-01-20T10:28:36.092-05:00The Year in Pitchfork album reviews<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://a.onionstatic.com/images/articles/article/49541/p4k_jpg_627x325_crop_upscale_q85.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 627px; height: 325px;" src="http://a.onionstatic.com/images/articles/article/49541/p4k_jpg_627x325_crop_upscale_q85.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.yearinreviews.com/">Here are the albums that Pitchfork reviewed in 2010,</a> organized by their ratings. <br /><br />Apparently three were 6 perfect albums in 2010, which seems like a lot to me, but what do I know, I am not a pitchfork.

In a very real way, Detroit is a lost world – or at least a lost city where the magnificence of its past is everywhere evident."<br /><br />When did the nuclear bomb go off in Detroit?

The pair have photographed once-grand hotels that were built in a carefree mix of gothic, art deco, Moorish and medieval styles, as well as countless baroque theatres, movie houses and ballrooms – the Vanity, where big band giants such as Duke Ellington and Tommy Dorsey played in the 1930s; the Eastown theatre, where pioneering hard rock groups like Iggy and the Stooges and the MC5 held court in the 1960s."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2010/12/31/1293797766087/Michigan-Theatre-012.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 606px; height: 480px;" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2010/12/31/1293797766087/Michigan-Theatre-012.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />"The abandoned factories, the eerily vacant schools, the rotting houses, and gutted skyscrapers that Yves Marchand and Romain Meffre chronicle are the artefacts of Detroit's astonishing rise as a global capital of capitalism and its even more extraordinary descent into ruin, a place where the boundaries between the American dream and the American nightmare, between prosperity and poverty, between the permanent and the ephemeral are powerfully and painfully visible.

At least we're not SOCIALIST! Anyway, here's your choice America: slash taxes for the Super-Rich by $61,000 a year, or by a more realistic $370,000 a year. <br /><br />"The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers would get a tax cut of $61,000 from President Obama. They would get $370,000 from Republicans, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. And that provides only a modest economic stimulus, because the rich are less likely to spend their tax savings."<br /><br />How much of a pile will the billionaires get? This is an important issue, because Wall Street just handed out the most bonuses ever of all time, so the poor workers there need to find out SOON how many new yachts they can buy, only one, like some chump, or 5, which all the cool people will be doing.<br /><br />So it's no surprise that poor people who can't pay their own bills and are losing money quickly are so willing to fight for a bigger tax cut for the ultra-wealthy. Because taxes are bad and socialist and once I win the lottery, that will be MY rightful tax cut, and I don't want to be stuck with only a mere $61,000 more than I would have now, because taxes are theft. <br /><br />"C.E.O.’s of the largest American companies earned an average of 42 times as much as the average worker in 1980, but 531 times as much in 2001. Perhaps the most astounding statistic is this: From 1980 to 2005, more than four-fifths of the total increase in American incomes went to the richest 1 percent."<br /><br />But that math is all boring so who cares? Taxes = bad so cut taxes for everyone. It's just a coincidence that the economy was humming and we had a federal surplus until the taxes for the wealthiest were cut. So what if taxes are already lower than they were under Reagan, much lower than they were under Nixon and incredibly amazingly lower than they were under Eisenhower. All those guys were socialist tax and spenders anyway.<br /><br />We will get the government and tax structure that we deserve. Unfortunately for 99.9% of Americans.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/14/opinion/14rich.html?src=me&ref=general">Another article from the lying lamestream liberal NY Times</a> asks Who Will Stand Up to the Super Rich? We all know the answer: Nobody.<br />"“How can hedge-fund managers who are pulling down billions sometimes pay a lower tax rate than do their secretaries?” ask the political scientists Jacob S. Hacker (of Yale) and Paul Pierson (University of California, Berkeley) in their deservedly lauded new book, “Winner-Take-All Politics.” If you want to cry real tears about the American dream — as opposed to the self-canonizing tears of John Boehner — read this book and weep. The authors’ answer to that question and others amounts to a devastating indictment of both parties."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879461584728820893.post-41619488624350489722010-11-12T19:56:00.001-05:002010-11-12T19:59:24.093-05:00Hating the Miami HeatWhat should I do?
