Yeah, I liked the Schwartzman one. He came across as way more likable than I thought he would be. Considering the family he grew up in, he seems really grounded too.

definitely. he made me feel very lazy too, talking about working on music for three hours every night (!) after his family goes to bed.

Jesus God, man
What do you think someone could come away from the interview with apart from "seems to have written a book that isn't selling and is maybe touring in a panto"?

loved the Gaffigan interview, especially when he called out Maron on his socio-stereotyping bullshit

^^ this bit was hilarious. Maron can be such a prat at times indeed. "I believe you were the ENEMY once?"

Cameron Esposito is great and funny, but I feel like she's turned into the comedy podcast community's resident "ask a lesbian" guest and this Maron interview is no different.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 9 February 2015 16:47 (nine years ago) link
turned into or wilfully positioned herself as?
― oochie wally (clean version) (sic), Monday, 9 February 2015 21:24 (nine years ago) link
I think that's a fair criticism, but about halfway through her interview with Marc, she makes some comments to the effect of "I can only imagine if when I were coming out, there were people like me saying the things I'm saying about being a lesbian. It would have made things so much easier." She totally has a little bit of a cause in her art. Not an issue for me, but it is there. Marc attempts to back off the lesbian discussion a couple times, too.
I think she's pretty funny and quite intelligent and insightful.

Oh yeah, love her. I just hate seeing her become so one dimensional in the context of all these male-driven podcasts (which is probably just a reflection of how many male-driven podcasts I listen to).

christ, the nick tosches episode is a drag. two old men yelling at clouds, made worse by the fact that tosches sounds like mr plinkett of redlettermedia
― bizarro gazzara, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 20:48 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I'm about halfway in and considering giving up. Given Maron's intro, I was hoping for some more delving into the seediness of old Hollywood but, nope.

yeah i couldnt finish that nick tosches interview, just as i thought he was about to say something interesting he veers off into some boring rant about cellphones and the internet...with maron only too happy to encourage him

anyone ever read his books? ive been intrigued but its waned after that interview

i read the dean martin, jerry lee lewis and sonny liston ones years ago, and I enjoyed them at the time, so i was looking forward to hearing what he had to say. unfortunately it turned out to be cripplingly dull :(
― bizarro gazzara, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 21:02 (nine years ago) link
you all need to be honest with yourselves. but no, you won't do it. because you are too scared! scared of maron and tosches! so you missed their mind expanding conversation about twitter.

I tried to read the Sonny Liston bio but it was painfully purple and I tapped out after a chapter or two.

Anyone want to guess how many minutes into the Kim Gordon interview until he tries to wow her with the fact that he has Trout Fish Mask Replica on vinyl?

Looking forward to finding out her guys are.

also whether she ever played a les paul jr

Either that interview will be amazingly great, or amazingly painful.
― RAP GAME SHANI DAVIS (Raymond Cummings), Wednesday, 25 February 2015 21:27 (nine years ago) link
yeah - it really could go either way. it will be great if he reads her book (which is good and has plenty of family and relationship stuff for Maron to get armchair shrinky about) and it will be horrible if he asks a bunch of dad questions about rock music.
― Brio2, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 21:36 (nine years ago) link
it's funny though - lots of disdain in that book for men in their 50's with peter pan syndromes - but she'll probably go easy on him
― Brio2, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 21:40 (nine years ago) link
i guess the other horrible option is that he spends the whole episode clumsily flirting with her D:
― bizarro gazzara, Wednesday, 25 February 2015 21:54 (nine years ago) link
he'll spend the entire time making her grapple with what listening to Goo meant to him.

I still have an mp3 of the interview he did with Thurston on his post-Morning Sedition radio show from around the time Rather Ripped came out and before Air America completely collapsed.

clumsy flirting + tube amp talk, then they end up dating and sonic youth reforms as a boogie band with maron instead of thurston

That Thurston Moore interview isn't as bad as I was expecting. The 70s NY rock scene talk is interesting at least. But yeah, you can tell he's not a fan. "My Bloody Valentine or whatever the kids are playing!" in 2008 is prime Maron and he's at his most ridiculously jurassic when talking about Noise bands with him.
― tayto fan (Michael B), Wednesday, 25 February 2015 23:12 (nine years ago) link
How many times has Maron dropped Fred Frith's name at this point? Seems to be his go-to reference (along with The Residents and Eno) whenever more "out" music comes up.
― spastic heritage, Thursday, 26 February 2015 02:43 (nine years ago) link
He's only just now really exploring more music, so I'll cut him some slack for having a limited frame of reference nine years ago.
Holy shit, I just realized that Rather Ripped is nine years old!
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 26 February 2015 02:52 (nine years ago) link
I was going to say, he's been posting some really decent stuff that he's been getting into lately. Seems to be a big Ty Segall fan, but who can blame him?
