A few thoughts on this week’s episode:
1. This was the first episode we recorded with Michael in Memphis and me in Chicago. The sheer technical complexity of how I did it would surely crash the Internet, so let’s just say it’s a technical miracle and the editing took more time than I anticipated. Hopefully the audio quality (particularly Michael’s, since there’s a big difference between his setup and mine) will improve each week.
2. I don’t like Phil Collins. Pretty sure that comes across loud and clear.
3. You’ll hear us make a pitch to Dippin’ Dots for sponsorship. It’s a pretty terrible pitch as we make our desire to “just get paid for this stuff” pretty clear, but it’s also honest and rooted in real events. So, Dippin’ Dots management, if you’re reading this, we’re ready to sell out and you can email us at supcuzpodcast@gmail.com.
4. Michael unveiled our first/worst listener contest ever. You’ll have to check out the podcast for details.
We may or may not be on hiatus next week. We’ll see how busy Michael’s party keeps him.
And finally, we leave you with this video clip from this week’s Good Enough To Netflix: Crossroads (1986), starring Ralph Macchio of Karate Kid 3 fame. In this scene, Daniel-son’s character is battling the devil’s guitarist for the soul of his friend, who sold it to the devil years ago for blues guitar prowess. No kidding. I couldn’t begin to make this stuff up.
Hey Michael (and cuz),
Your wife directed us facebook friends to your blog. Too funny. Glad you are putting that head of yours to good use.
I laughed when you were talking about driving to see where Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil and how underwhelming that was. My husband drove me 2 hours out of our way to the cemetery outside of Greenwood in the pouring rain so I could hold an umbrella over him while he etched the grave marker with a pencil and butcher paper. I was definitely underwhelmed…
Well, keep up the good work.
