    XMas Haul

    Originally uploaded by evilgenius.

    I never did post about the stuff I received for XMas. I got some shirts and socks and other practical things, which proved to me that I am now old. Getting socks for XMas and being happy about it is a dead giveaway. My wife also gave me that massive all in one Bone collection. It is both fine graphic literature and a good arm workout.

    My brother got me the balance of the stuff in that photo. He gave me the third volume in Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis series, as well as an Ask a Ninja shirt and a Tiki Bar TV tiki mug. You can’t see that well in the photo, but it has the Tiki Bar logo embossed in gold on the back. This is exactly what I was talking about the other day. Rather than charging a micropayment for your show, sell fans a nice fancy mug!

    All in all, quite a good holiday in the material sense. I look forward to filling that mug with some silly drink they make on the show, and also to killing you soon.

    EGC Clambake For September 9, 2006

    Here is the Bittorrent link and direct MP3 download for the EGC clambake for September 9, 2006.

    Today is a clip show and a live bootleg show. I play bits of other podcasts that have struck my fancy later and several songs that are freely available out there on the internet. I start with a song from the late great Warren Zevon; I play two bits from RU Sirius, one of which prompts me to discuss geographic elitism; I play a silly clip from the “official Ebert and Roeper podcast”; I play a bit from Jonathan Coulton on the PopSci podcast; I play a live bootleg from the Butthole Surfers; I play a little moment from the dada madness of Tiki Bar TV; I show what kind of crap I did for WREK in Atlanta; I play a snippet from Jeff Mallett at the Web 2.0 conference via IT Conversations; I talk about the Flaming Lips documentary and play a live song from them; it’s over and nothing can change that.

    Let it be known that I am indeed aware that I used the word “fantastic” about 15 times too many. Sorrry.

    I talk about the Portable Media Expo, my talk and the vibe of the thing in general; I play a song by the Gentle Readers; the interview with Phil Torrone of Make Magazine; I tell the story of meeting the bomb disposal guy and turning him on to Tiki Bar TV; I play a song by Paul Melancon and toodle.

    I’m in Washington Dulles Airport (IAD), an airport in a tight race with Dallas (DFW) for my least favorite in the US airline system. I just watched episode 8 (London Fogcutter) of Tiki Bar TV and was reduced into complete hysterics. It took me about 5 minutes to stop laughing, which really seemed to bother this snooty yuppie turd over my shoulder. I think I’ll watch another episode just to bug this guy as part of America’s War on Humorless Tightasses (TM).
