Audio commentary

In blog on April 24, 2006 at 12:02 am

OK I haven’t done one of those “point out something funny on the net” posts in awhile, but here goes. I’ve been watching a few DVDs of sitcoms lately (Arrested Development, Dave Chapelle, The Mighty Boosh), and sometimes the audio commentary can be funnier than the show itself. I think that’s true for the Lies issue from Vice Magazine. (Click on an article, read it, listen to the audio after.)

(To hear a hi-fi version of my podcast, click here.) And here’s the tracklisting. All the songs can be downloaded from the site linked to the band name.

Note: Listen to an archived version of the show here, plus more of my archived podcasts here. Oh yeah and … LULZZZZZZ! – 29/05/09

(1) Remember the Orphans by The Boggs: Here in New York I’m doing an internship with a magazine and one of my fellow interns was telling me about this band she plays for called The Boggs. After listening to their songs I think they’re pretty rad.

(2) You Who Me? by Theatre of Disco: You guys might be more familiar with these guys than I am because I think they’ve been doing a lot of gigging around Sydney at the moment. Anyway I discovered them because I had to write a profile for them on Kripy.

(3) It’s Getting Quiet, Baby by The Go Naturals: Lots of downloads on their website but this track I actually downloaded from their myspace page here, and for some reason isn’t on their main website.

(4) Edit Render by Glitch Jukebox

(4) President by IAMX: Sneaker Pimps dude.

(5) Broken Girl by Twisted Charm

(6) No Wow by The Kills (Raary Deci-hells remix): So you’ve probably heard the original, and you’ve probably heard the MSTRKRFT remix, but have you heard the Raary Deci-hells of the now disbanded Test Icicles remix?

Mercy vs. Damn

I want to start a band war between Damn Arms and Mercy arms. See the current issue of Kripy here to read about it (in the Friday section, plus the intro). And check out that contributor’s list — more interesting names! I mean how cool is “Ari Weisz-Koves”?
