Lets Be Specific About Stuff http://www.letsbespecific.com Fri, 17 May 2013 20:45:22 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 If you love exposure to noteworthy people passionately going on about stuff they sincerely love; listen to the podcast. If you love exposure to stuff that may brighten your day, broaden your horizons or indeed, enrich your life; go to the show postings at letsbespecific.com and explore the links. If you don't value exposure to new things or people then sadly, you are dead inside. A hollow husk of a human being whose sense of wonder, discovery and curiosity likely died in adolescence. I'd suggest you go watch E! News. Like some wise git said; "Every time you're introduced to something you may come to love, it has the capacity to make your life better."

Actor Sean Patrick Flanery (‘Boondock Saints’, ‘Powder’, ‘Young Indiana Jones’) and comic/actor Jeff “Boomer” Phillips spend time trying to ‘out-alpha’ each other while I give my account of getting ‘gay grifted’.

When I’m done dealing with the trauma of a convincing gay con-man, we discuss Vincent Gallo and the varied types of tools, dicks and douchebags, e-assaults on friends through cake farts and gross-out porn, training to fight in the apocalypse and, Sean and I re-visit our Scientology Center experience.

Working Title;  ”How ya like me now?”

Canadian Radio Icon Alan Cross (host of long-running Ongoing History of New Music, creator/proprietor of ExploreMusic) wasn’t s’posed to get me a job.

(We met years back and he was, in fact, super giving of his time and guidance with a show concept I was putting together) But it was pretty clear he didn’t feel like I had much business – not having put in my time at a WKRJ in Moosedick, Alberta – putting together and/or being talent on a show.

And yes… it turns out he was right.

Jesse Brown (TVO Podcast Host (Search Engine), Macleans New Media Writer and all-round plugged-in cat) was mostly – albeit charmingly – along for the ride as I endeavor to drag Alan down to my level with an unrelenting awkwardness.

When I’m not makin’ it weird, Alan, Jesse and I discuss fans who ruin it for you, Canada’s cultural landscape, the intellectual property cops and why CBC TV sucks so much compared to its big brother BBC.

James Adomian may not be a comedy name you’re aware of and to that I’d just say… exactly! And you’re welcome.

James shares a bunch of specific stuff he digs (see links below) and we get into musical impressions, “finding your voice”, making your peace with being culturally incomplete and never trusting anyone with all their hair.

Go down the rabbit hole yourselves and check out stand-up, actor, impressionist, raconteur, bon vivant (.. sure, why not) James Adomian at jamesadomian.com and his oft updated tumblr; High Noon in the Garden of Good & Evil.

I’m particularly fond of his Jesse Ventura ‘appearances’ on CDR Radio; Adomian on Earwolf and his Last Comic Standing Set as a way in.

James’ Stuff;

Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band – Abba Zaba

Magical Misery Tour Parody

Queen – Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy

Pink Floyd – Fearless

The Third Man Theme

Ty’s Stuff;

Happy Halloween From Michael McDonald

Punching the Clown (Official) and Punching the Clown (Not As Official)

Stephen Fry Podgram on Beauty of Soul: Oscar Wilde

SURFWISE (No Full Length Link To Be Found)

Tim Rose – If I Were A Carpenter (No Other Playable Link To be Found)
