   Interesting show. Several things bothered me: Lisa sounded like she was only lightly touching on huge issues “Hurricane’s are bad and kill children” but otherwise it was a decent conversation, and the JMOCA interview was possibly the worst sounding thing ever on the show.

   I thought the hipster discussion was excellent, although all parties were guilty as charged, props to Mark for not letting Caleb to get away with passing shots and following up.

   I know the audio quality for JMOCA sucks. I am shamed and grovel before the Bad at Sport listeners.

   (If it means anything, that was the last audio from a field recording trip to LA that was technically cursed so bad we were lucky to have any audio at all … damn digital technology.)

   Marc, stop posting as me. I don’t think it is funny. I’m not a wizard.

   That’s MarC with C doing that — NOT MarK with K, by the way. I do not support using aliases (unless obvious), false names, the names of others, or anything similar. Just use your own darn names.

   It’s neither me or MSB. It is Duncan posting as himself, trying to stir things up. Real mature Duncan.

   Duncan is indeed, the best part is when he puts on his wizard outfit and pointy hat and blares 2112.

    Duncan, Duncan. So, is using your own name as a pseudonym the new shitty photography? Or something.

    i love how Marc and Caleb arguing about who is a hipster is also like the pot calling the kettle…

    Hmmmn…I wanted more content as well in the discussion of Lisa’s work…

    I listened to our conversation while in Canada…lovely, lovely Canada. Thanks for having me on and talking with me about my show and practice. I’ll check this blog out daily so ask me questions and I’ll answer ’em Mr. or Ms. Pointing and Balzac as well as any other takers.

    as usual The Wizard and Richard rock and are hipper than hip.

    Duncan was out last night wearing an outfit just like Geddy Lee’s on the 2112 album cover with a wizard hat on top it was so so awesome.

    OK — so now I don’t trust anybody. Except the Shark and Amanda’s mom.

    I think you should change the name of this operation to “The Priests of the Temple of Syrinx.”

    Richard on July 1, 2007 at 9:30 pm

    You think I haven’t tried that!!!

    Mike on July 2, 2007 at 6:03 am

    I think Mark Staff Brandl is in love with the Shark?

    Mark Staff Brandl on July 3, 2007 at 1:42 am

    No. Amanda’s Mom.

    Um — by deleting the post above Ball Zak’s, you have destroyed his joke and make his comment seem a bit weird.

25. 

    Bowl Sack on July 5, 2007 at 8:25 am

    All of my comments are weird, no matter what gets deleted. I think I like the punch line, hanging lonely, by itself.

    What? Censorship on bad at sports? Surely not.

    We as a general blanket policy will not remove messages. However lately some genius figured out how to leave “bot” messages on blogs which have links to websites that install viruses on your machine. So I know Christopher has pulled several of those, the messages are generally gibberish which I suspect is what Ball Zax, or whatever his/her/it/their name is today was repsonding to.

    Thanks Richard

    Yeah, it was one of those silly emails — but Ballzac’s response was amusing.
