EGC Clambake For March 4, 2006

Here is the Bittorrent link and direct MP3 download for the EGC clambake for March 4, 2006.

I play my favorite song from the Changelings; I talk about my chat with Damon Young and when musicians are grateful to have their music in podcasts vs suing your nuts off for playing them; I talk about getting interviewed a few times last week for the “Slusher Overexposure Tour 2006”; I play a song by Steve Newman; I talk about watching the Wild Bunch and listening to the Reel Reviews Cinephile show about it; I’m still knocked out by how funny the Better Bad News mockery of me is, enough that I play a segment of it; I play the song to end all songs by Beau Hall and giggle my ass on out of the show.

To clarify something I said in a flip manner in the show, I don’t mean that my sponsors are owned by right wing nut jobs specifically. I mean that companies have a strong tendency to be owned by right wingers, whether by cause or effect I have no way of knowing.

I have now seen the Better Bad News video and it was fantastic. I managed to snag it in the 17 minutes their website was up and running. They must have signed one of those 9.97% uptime deals. Guys, you need to watch the decimal points in those service level agreements.

Whenever their site comes back up, it would be a good idea to save the video to your hard drive as fast as you can because 1) the site will probably be down again soon enough and 2) you are going to want to watch this one more than once. Tighten up your Depends before you do, though, it’s a pants-wetter.

BetterBadNews!!

I saw from references in Technorati and Feedster that I have been made fun of by BetterBadNews!!! Apparently it has something to do with the ongoing conversation between Steve Gillmor and myself about sponsorship. Right on, I love them and am delighted to be the object of their derision. However, when I tried to go look at the site and see how vicious they were towards me (and Steve) I get this:
