Dan Wilcox: Ok, so I’m sitting here with Sarah Silverman for KCRW’s guest DJ Project. My name is Dan Wilcox. What’s next on our list of songs?

Sarah Silverman: Well Dan, the next song is a song by a band called the Mountain Goats, who I don’t really know much about at all, but I came across this song called “No Children” and I LOVE it. It’s not heartbreaking per se, it’s definitely negative -- it’s like ‘I hope you die, I hope we both die.’

Dan Wilcox: (laughs) How did you come across this?

Sarah Silverman: You know when you’re on iTunes and you’re just searching and one thing leads to this leads to this leads to this and then somehow I just heard this song and, you know, then I learned it on the guitar and sing it to myself in the apartment.

Dan Wilcox: Oh really, so you have your own rendition of the song that you do.

Sarah Silverman: Yeah – it’s a terrible version of this…

(song plays)

Dan Wilcox: Ok that was “No Children,” but the Mountain Goats.

Sarah Silverman: I love that song. How bout when they go (sings with music) “I am drowning, there is no sign of land, you are coming down with me.” I love that, all right, sorry.

last night's episode was kinda lame except for the Bachelor Party/Oingo Boingo parody party

She's on 8 Out Of Ten Cats next week, which seems surprisingly surprising to me.

Apparently she's not funny.

I would like to see this woman.

Probably didn't think a bunch of Britishes would get most of her references.

40 minutes is a short set?

ಥ﹏ಥ (cankles), Monday, 20 October 2008 20:15 (fifteen years ago) link

she and J0hn oughta do a co-headliner...

i think she's funny a good 70% of the time. i also think she's cuet 100% of the time

anyone who paid that much to see a comedy act is probably a douche anyway

40 mins is OK if it's a comedy club and there's 2 or 3 other acts there as well. It's not if you are the feature act and the venue is a theatre, with prices to match.

Mark G, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 07:20 (fifteen years ago) link

My guess is she was badly advised (or not advised at all). The UK comedy scene is a hell of a bearpit at the best of times. To assume they are more laid-back audiences is about as wrong as you can get.

Pretty sure staring at tits while someone makes "edgy" gags is a universal thing.

Carrie Bradshaw Layfield (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 07:52 (fifteen years ago) link

Sarah Silverman is very open about her lifelong battle with clinical depression, crediting her current freedom from attacks of despair to her use of prescription Zoloft, which she says was urged by her mother and aunt, both psychologists.

Silverman is a teetotaller.

didn't she get back with kimmel? that's punishment enough for 10 lifetimes.

Former host of The Man Show? More like current host of the Oh, Maaaan That's Terrible show.

She was on JRoss show, and 8-10cats...

Likeable, yeah. Once she got in a stride of sorts, she was funny. But I get the impression she's not a 'died-in-the-wool' professional comedian type, which is fine. JRoss was 'feeding' her possible comedy spur lines and she was batting them away. "Madonna and Guy splitting? I have nothing to say about that..." GOOD!

Mark G, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 08:16 (fifteen years ago) link

You mean she's just doing this for a while until she gets some proper acting jobs?

Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Tuesday, 21 October 2008 09:02 (fifteen years ago) link

Well, I meant as in not a 'honed to the nth degree professional' like yr Monkhouse/JRivers types.

Mark G, Tuesday, 21 October 2008 09:09 (fifteen years ago) link

Well that's hardly unusual, is it? Her appearance in last year's (or was it the year before?) Secret Policeman's Ball seems to have been airbrushed out of history, which is just as well for her sake.

I hear that's how the shepherd passed away.

"news is dicks."

anyone else watching her show this season? i think my favorite thing was a week or two ago when jay and laura spent all of their time alone dancing wildly.

LOUT of ICHOR (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 24 October 2008 09:15 (fifteen years ago) link

the only thing i like about the show is that it's set in valley village -- i always pass the valley village station on the orange line on the way to my bf's place in sherman oaks, and it makes me smile.

thandie newman (get bent), Friday, 24 October 2008 09:25 (fifteen years ago) link

and sherman oaks makes me think of it's garry shandling's show!

I would just like to pop onto this thread to express my disappointment with her twitter quips.

that is all.

richie aprile (rockapads), Friday, 26 March 2010 00:09 (fourteen years ago) link

i'd rather look at her than listen to her.
that is all i have to say on the matter x

For some reason assumedly having to do with Google's algorithm, if you do a gis of me, several of the pictures are things I posted on this thread. The internet loves a hot chick.

apparently she thought Inglo*****s Bast*rds was great Jewish propaganda, so obv a pinhead after all.

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 1 April 2010 02:13 (fourteen years ago) link

and to think, she used to post here, before we forced her out

I wonder if there is a way Morbius can fit his hatred for QT into every thread on the board.

Seriously, I'm almost starting to admire his level of dedication to this cause. Almost.

someday I'm gonna meet Quentin T. and I'm gonna say "I know this guy who totally hates you, you gotta have a character called 'Morbius' in your next movie & you gotta make the movie suck even worse than usual" and he's totally gonna say "I will do it because you are cool" and when the movie comes out we will totally have a thread about it

gonna be a great day

Twink Will Ferrell (J0hn D.), Thursday, 1 April 2010 03:16 (fourteen years ago) link

can you also tell QT to make the character a yankees fan?

Nicely played sir.

I like his earlier, funny movies; maybe he should make one with Sarah Silverman

i would 'make one' with sarah silverman
