saw the title, was somewhat skeptical, and after listening to about 30 seconds: yup, that's Alan
not safe for listening on the way to work. he almost put me into an induced hypnotic sleep state by calmly droning on about his definition of magic

decades of heroic weed consumption, magickal workings and thinking more deeply about the town of northampton that anyone ever has or ever will again have given him eldritch powers which may or may not stand up to the psychich assault of felix biederman's stream of consciousness about fortnite, uncles and knausgaard

Downloaded a couple of eps of producer Chris's music podcast (And Introducing), it's pretty good (ie more listenable than Chapo has been lately). I'm halfway through the one about Meet Me In The Bathroom, it's ridiculously long (2.5 hours) and it's endearing to see someone's take on it a few years younger than me/the average ILXor. They still think all the people involved in the early '00s rock scene were kind of cool, it's adorable.

I was going to ask who from the show picked The Fall to end the latest episode, but figured it was Chris.

i feel like everyone involved in chapo has a tragic taste in music
― findom haddie (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 11 June 2019 15:50 (four years ago) link
they used to pick pretty good music to end the episodes until they presumably got too big and didn't want to draw attention. distinctly remember an ep ending with "who makes the nazis".

xp to milo
is there a good representative episode of that podcast (And Introducing) that's a good start?
the one about the book, which I've read and have spent all my own commentary on, is simultaneously intriguing because they're younger and making me holler about how they seem to have missed a bunch of experiences of seeing shows in houses, 90s music scenes, whatever
― mh, Tuesday, 11 June 2019 23:05 (four years ago) link
And Introducing is fantastic! My introduction was the one Felix guested on about Kanye's tweets. I thought that one was pretty fun, but it's kind of atypical for the show. I honestly think the show's first episode is still one of the best.
― OneSecondBefore, Wednesday, 12 June 2019 01:05 (four years ago) link
The one about The Hacienda is pretty good too.
― OneSecondBefore, Wednesday, 12 June 2019 01:06 (four years ago) link
I've only listened to that one and part of the Felix Soundcloud rap episode - I think the book one is pretty representative, non-cynical 30-year olds' takes on music
― Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Wednesday, 12 June 2019 01:29 (four years ago) link
the greatest Chapo running gag is that their producers/engineers have much better radio voices than anyone actually on the show

ilx is pretty much all rockist now isn't it

Should I listen to the hacienda episode though? I do tend to avoid podcasts and only experience them vicariously in forums such as this.

they also had the fall at the end of an older episode pre-chris

Checking this out for the first time. Liked the Alan Moore episode basically because it was Alan Moore and always interesting to hear him talk. Had to turn off the live in Berlin episode as I cannot think of anything I'd rather listen to less than American punk types making shit jokes about dance music. Is it worth checking out other episodes or are they always like this?
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 15 June 2019 11:47 (four years ago) link
That was probably the worst possible one to check out, generally the live ones are not well liked. Lemme scan for a representative recent ish one.
― Simon H., Saturday, 15 June 2019 12:22 (four years ago) link
I liked 310, the one where they discover Marianne Williamson

The live eps are almost universally awful
― gbx, Saturday, 15 June 2019 14:55 (four years ago) link
actually the Premium one they did excerpted from their UK shows was not bad, mostly cause it stuck to readings
― Simon H., Saturday, 15 June 2019 14:56 (four years ago) link
All the shows are awful be honest

the Berlin one was so badthis recent one w Ryan Grim is good and has a lot of the classically Chapo stuffListen to 318 - Rahm Emmanuelle: The Joys of a Neolib feat.

I'm not sure how on board with their pro-Sanders arguments vs. Warren work if Sanders can't pull more than 15% of the dem base. How can he rally a mass of the entire population to enact his agenda if he can barely crack 15% of the left?

i think his appeal would be the corbyn thing. he will bring out the people that don't usually vote due to being disenfranchised- young working class people - and in the general he'll get the liberal voters that would eschew him in the primary.

biden is the front runner in the dem primary so I'm assuming they're not a very "left" cohort of people. liberal baby boomers mainly i guess? (sorry, no idea of the social composition of registered democrats)
i was at a retirement party on monday with a well-heeled, retired, baby boomer liberal who is heavily involved with some expat democrat org here and who hates sanders with the fire of a thousand burning suns and was in for biden.

i found him quite genial so i didn't go in on handsy uncle joe at him
I understand the appeal but I don't see Bernie making it real. His campaign feels like its running on autopilot. Maybe the polls are skewed but uh, thats a bullshit excuse.

FWIW at this moment in previous election campaigns:
2008 Dem: Clinton led by 13.2 points2008 GOP: Giuliani led by 7 points2016 GOP: Bush led by 2 points
And Hillary led by 50 points atm for 2016, and there are fifty people running right now. Definitely true that Sanders isn't blowing anyone away right now (and Warren feels like the person who will beat out Biden), but there is just a massive amount of time between now and when it counts. Super Tuesday isn't until March 3, 2020 – a bunch of stuff is going to happen between now and then! I think a lot of people are just in a holding pattern, waiting for everyone but Biden / Warren / Sanders / Harris / XXXXXX to drop out.
