Eric Clapton’s best song is probably “Layla,” and he didn’t write the riff (Duane Allman did), he also didn’t write the piano outro (Rita Coolidge did and her bf Jim Gordon stole it). So I guess his main achievement in music is rhyming “down” with “down.” A stellar career.

I somehow managed to cut my forehead open on the sneeze guard at the grocery store hot bar, now I look like fuckin’ Rimmer from Red Dwarf. Very smooth.

How’s this going, Spyglass? I’ll personally never forget when you labeled Melissa Barrera’s rational concern over civilian death as “flagrant hate speech.” That was in early October, ~20k human lives ago. I suggest you don’t make this movie, you have well and truly poisoned it.

Seeing Ayo become a bona fide star has been crazy, since she was a guest on my last in-studio Hollywood Handbook before the pandemic (w/ Julie K). At the time a super funny improviser & pod host, but look at her now! It’s way cool 😎

He must have no meaningful relationship with whoever records his show, corrals guest audio, cleans & refines it, edits, bounces, uploads, titles, describes, publishes, & troubleshoots it. If I were his producer I’d put out a blank file next time, titled “¯\_(ツ)_/¯”

I’ve decided my project for the day is to migrate all Hollywood Handbook episodes to our new permanent backup storage place. A cosmos without, say, the Ellie Kemper episode, scarcely bears thinking about.

Amazingly, @RadioTFB and I got to make @VideoArchives for Quentin Tarantino, @AVARY and @GalaAvary ! I built a little studio in QT’s VHS room, and we spent many happy hours debating movies, eating Thai food, occasionally even recording! What a great team, I did the first 20 eps!

I’ve had to make small talk over Zoom with a bewildering array of famous people in the last year, the nicest and funniest of which was easily Catherine O’Hara, the day after the election, who said “So, anything going on in the news or not really?”

I couldn’t be more proud of my time at @earwolf , I started in Aug 2018, just before the new studio opened, and stayed until Dec 2022, just before the new studio closed. I engineered, produced, mixed, edited, composed & sound designed for some of the funniest shows on earth.

Recovered from the Earwolf studios yesterday, my Kaoss Pad which has lived there in a drawer since Jan 19, 2019, the morning I brought it in for Hollywood Handbook’s Masked Engineer ep. The same Kaoss Pad through which Tawny Newsome later sang “Down With The Sickness.”

Weird Al is not legally required to ask if he can parody songs, he does it because it’s classy. R.E.M. weren’t legally required to give Leonard Cohen credit on “Hope” from Up, but they felt the lyrical structure was close enough to “Suzanne” that it would be classy. Be classy.
