I really enjoyed Marc's interview with Peter Bogdanovich. It was interesting to hear about Peter's early career, and how he got into the industry

I am super pumped for the Lemmy/Thompson interview. Marc gets the best music guests of anyone

I would love if he got some of those CBGB guys on. As far as I know he hasn't interviewed anyone from Television, The Heartbreakers or any of Richard Hells side projects and the window is closing. Surely those stories are worth capturing on the podcast?

Fred Armisen was an interesting interview, but they seemed to wrap up right when it was getting really interesting (talking about Fred's failed relationships and how his partners tend to end relationships because he makes it unbearable for them to not leave). Good one though.

I heard that stuff about his failed relationships and all that when this article came out, but hearing about it from his perspective was really interesting. That was a good interview.

I'm late but that interview with the editor of Spin was painful and really illustrated Marc's Achilles heel which is other male pseudointellectuals.

in the middle of a rant denying climate change hysteria the dude says "science is all about proving theories wrong."

Unbelievably frustrating listening.

Yeah, that episode was annoying, because the guy had some really good stories about his pretty important place in the history of music and journalism, and even some not terrible points about internet hate-mobs and hiveminds, but a lot of the second half was very "We white men should be able to do and say whatever we want without fear of consequence".

For an even worse interview, check out any of the Bret Easton Ellis podcasts where he fixates on internet outrage, censorship, political correctness or anything else in that vein.

which means pretty much all of them.

That Spin Magazine one was really tough to get through. Holy gently caress, it made me want to hit the guy. What a condescending, full-of-himself jerk that guy was.

The Bret Easton Ellis podcast is even funnier when you realize he makes his guest sit through his pre-written 20 minute intro about political correctness or how TV is actually bad these days or what millennial nonsense his 20 year old boyfriend is into instead of recording it beforehand.

I really didn't think Father John Misty came off as very pretentious. He has a voice and appearance that make it really easy to bias towards that impression if you want to, though. He seems very self-aware about what kind of music he is making and who he is making it for and how he uses that to establish his sense of identity. I thought it was interesting and insightful, and I thought it was probably fair when he expressed his discomfort being compared to poo poo like Mumford and Sons. I got the impression that he takes his art very seriously, but doesn't expect people to like or respect it just because he does so. Like he was way more "I really care about what I'm doing" than "plebs don't get how great my music is."

The only part where he bothered me was when he was talking about being naked in a tree and Maron was like "haha, hosed up on drugs, huh?" and he was like "well, yes, I activated myself with mushrooms" or something like that. Like dude, you were hosed up in a tree, it's okay to acknowledge that and still say you had a profound personal experience. But even that I can kinda slide on since when they discussed heroin it was clear he had some level of discomfort with drug use which probably stemmed from his super fundamentalist upbringing.

It was a pretty big contrast to the hilarious and candid conversation Maron and Bateman had about cocaine. Drug stories are the best.

E: Just listened to the Sinbad interview and I remember people saying they liked it, which is interesting, because the entire thing is basically a serious of stories where "even when I was intentionally trying to fail I succeeded and regular people didn't get me but all the famous legends I met loved me and thought I was the coolest person ever." But he's a way more jovial and likeable guy than FJM so it comes off endearing even though it's almost non-stop shameless bragging. It's interesting how character seems to influence perception a lot more than content. And I'm the same way, I'd much rather hang out with Sinbad than FJM even though I feel like Sinbad would spend the whole time talking about how awesome he is and I could actually have a real conversation with FJM. Weird.

I like the sick burn at the end with the smoking campaigns jab.

The interview was pretty great. I really liked how the one story he told about when his anger got out of hand was about dirty tea cups, and like someone else said the Yorkshire dialect stuff was awesome.

You just gave me a reason to listen to this podcast. (I don't dislike Richards, I just kinda don't care about the Stones at the moment, and listening to a full ep of Maron is usually a struggle.)

Stewart episode was really good. He gives a great interview.

Keith Richards is the man. Glad Marc was able to pull his poo poo together and get a good interview, but wouldn't have blamed him if he didn't as Keith Richards is also a hero of mine. I think Marc is right: as far as gets in that this will probably be his peak. Genuinely really glad he got to live out a dream.

And I think Rihards is normally fairly lucid (although surprisingly so here), it's just that he has a certain way of relating things when he's talking. Sometimes his little anecdotes of people are a little confusing because he'll just launch into a one sentence impression without altering his voice at all. Keith is the man and I'm glad he's lived this long.

Now interview Richard Hell or Tom Verlaine (probably not gonna happen) next
