Aqua Teen Hunger Force #96: “Juggalo” | April 5th, 2010 - 12:00AM | S08E08

Hey, this one’s pretty memorable, and actually has a decent amount of context on which I can heap. I love heaping things, so let’s go to it: 

Shake is attempting to create a simple diversion for some comedy reason, and he does this by causing a massive pile-up by throwing a concrete slab off an overpass. One of the lives he cut short is Paul F. Tompkins, sorta playing his dapper-ass self. By that I mean he’s got the same personality and they drew him in a relatively accurate manner (I think his head is too small, personally). The man’s spirit haunts Shake and forces him to do good. He has the ability to send Shake to hell when he mouths off. He makes him be nice to Carl, which is the final straw. 

When the angel has a bout of “angel diarrhea” and has to excuse himself, Shake makes a break for it and quickly finds a demonic force to help him vanquish his heavenly pest. But he only has a few minutes on craigslist and the best he can dig up is a teenage juggalo. He’s voiced by Paul “once told me he liked my online comic strip and I am pretty sure he actually meant it” Rust. Shake’s plan doesn’t work, because the kid just dresses shake up like a Denny’s goth and makes him give him and his friends rides. Shake eventually can’t take the torment and blows his own head off with a shotgun. 

The final scene takes place in court. ICP, voicing they (whatever the opposite of “dapper” is)-ass selves, are being sued for their lyrics causing Shake's suicide. George Lowe is the lawyer representing Shake’s household, now in mourning. ICP lightly defends their lyrics, and then reveal they can spit literal fire, and set the court ablaze. That’s it, aside from a brief over the credits scene where Shake is in hell, washing Carl’s car, which I guess also died and went to hell. 

Back around this time, Paul F. Tompkins was very regular on The Best Show on WFMU with Tom Scharpling. Tom Scharpling was on the show way back in 2003’s “The Shaving”. Paul would call the Best Show most weeks and occupy a huge chunk of time. Their most remembered riff was them talking about the then-viral Gathering of the Juggalos in 2009. There’s even a trading card commemorating it. I have it somewhere! I can’t find it in my home, or online. Sorry. PFT and Tom had a falling out shortly after this. What a couple of weirdos!

One last bit: Paul is credited, probably to skirt union rules, as “Mr. Hutchinson”. This is a particularly arcane inside joke based on a story where Paul was recognized in public by fan. At the time, Paul was the host of Best Week Ever, and this fan, who loved the show, misidentified Paul as “Mr. Hutchinson”, believing that to be his name. I actually remember there being one episode of Best Week Ever where Paul came back from a commercial by saying “welcome back to Best Week Ever hosted by Paul F. Tompkins. I’m Mr. Hutchinson”. 

I liked this one fine. I think sometimes going heavy on the guest star can be a mistake, but this one works for me. I haven’t really kept up with PFT, but when this aired I genuinely thought he was one of the funniest guys out there. He might still be for all I know. I respect him, and I should respect him. I am going about this the exact correct way.

MAIL BAG

You wear a disguise to look like SNL guys, but you're not Will Ferrell, you're in Chickenfoot

Mr. Hutchinson? Now that reference I get. What the fuck is this? Some kind of disrespectful music parody? Answer me at once

[some-pers0n]

Hello im. Sorry to bother you but I see you on my dash as "the will wood person"(well also the tf2 person and the wof person but that doesn't pertain to this) and was thinking about listening to his stuff but idk where to start do you got any recommendations?

Yippee!! I managed to be so Demented about William Woodard that it made me the "Will Wood person" to somebody :))) That's so silly

Okay, so recommendations. It's...really quite difficult to recommend stuff from Will because a lot of his music is quite varied and it kinda just depends on what music you've already listened to. If you've gone down the Jack Stauber, Tally Hall, or Lemon Demon path, chances are you're going to be somewhat on board with his music.

Will Wood is an experimental music artist who never exactly sticks to one sound. He said he doesn't quite like it. Self-Ish, his second album, he considers a concept album due to the fact that it's mostly grungy and rough vocals with frantic and wild instrumentals all with lyrics spouting stuff relating to a singular theme. However, if you ask me there are some things about him that stick out as being "Will Wood".

Piano. A lot of his songs have piano. In some places, what other songs would have as a guitar riff, is a piano bit. Piano (along with the baritone ukulele and also occasionally glockenspiel) is his main instrument.

Jazzy instruments. Saxophones, trumpets, all that. In his latest main album, In Case I Make It, Will forgos that sort of jazzy tunes a lot in favour of more calm and folk songs, but they still linger.

Tons and tons of lyrics. Will's lyricism is one of the main draws of his music to me. He often writes about his own experiences with his mental health and struggles in his songs. Themes of mental illness, being loved despite being human, and generally just being a person trying to get through this messy, cold world.

Yeah that's about goes for the constants.

Okay, so, depending on your music taste, I don't know how to quite recommend stuff. His newer album, In Case I Make It, is a lot more folksy and softer than his previous work. It still has that Will Wood flare, but just with less loud screaming matches between Will and an alto sax. His earliest albums (Everything is a Lot and Self-Ish) are more edgy and dark with those grungy and gravely vocals. The Normal Album is a middle ground.

I personally believe the best way to experience Will Wood is to listen to the albums, but for individual songs? Here's some ordered from softer to more intense.

Skeleton Appreciation Day (Bones), Everything is a Lot

When Somebody Needs You [Song], Camp Here & There

That's Enough, Let's Get You Home., In Case I Make It

White Noise, In Case I Make It

Venetian Blind Man, Camp Here & There

...well, better than the alternative, The Normal Album

Falling Up, In Case I Make It

Against the Kitchen Floor, In Case I Make It

The Main Character, In Case I Make It

Memento Mori, The Normal Album

Laplace's Angel (Hurt People? Hurt People!), The Normal Album

I/Me/Myself, The Normal Album

Marsha, Thankk You for the Dialects, but I Need You To Leave, The Normal Album

BlackBoxWarrior - OKULTRA, The Normal Album

Suburbia Overture, The Normal Album

The Song With Five Names, Self-Ish

Mr. Capgras, Self-Ish

6up 5oh Cop-Out (Pro/Con), Everything is a Lot

Dr. Sunshine is Dead, Self-Ish

Hand Me My Shovel, I'm Going In!, Self-Ish

Aaannnddd if we're giving song recommendations, I also highly, HIGHLY recommend checking out his live stuff. Not just his live albums (those are fantastic though), but live performances recorded of him. They range from in-studio and professionally done recordings to somebody with a phone. I love them.

Here are some performances I recommended for one reason or another.

The entire BBQ show, as it shows off Will's character a lot as well as being fairly charming and fun (also good music)

Marsha Live in the Studio

Mr. Capgras (this one's I think something he did with patreon people)

Mr. Capgras/White Knuckle Jerk (WFMU radio)

Yeah that's about everything off the top of my head. See ya.

Setting - Live on the Frow Show / WFMU, April 19, 2024

It's always a good idea to tune into Jesse Jarnow's Frow Show on WFMU — the best freeform radio you can find on a Tuesday night for many years running. But it's an especially good idea when Jesse plays an exclusive live set from the North Carolina trio Setting.

Made up of Jaime Fennelly (Mind Over Mirrors), Nathan Bowles (Pelt, Black Twig Pickers) and Joe Westerlund (too many projects to name?), their 2023 debut on Paradise of Bachelors was an instant classic of improv headiness. That album was followed up quickly by a live recording at Black Mountain College — which might have been even better! The WFMU shows that Setting continues to evolve in beautiful, ineffable directions, with Bowles introducing some musique concrète elements to the mix. The band is currently out on the west coast for some live dates. Don't miss 'em.

(Oh and hey, Jesse's post-jam interview with Setting reminded me that I've totally slept on this latest Mind Over Mirrors release! It's Bandcamp Friday, people, why not go buy it like me???)

[so-much-for-subtlety]

I love this NJ based radio station WFMU because it’s completely community supported and have such a weird mix of DJs. The show this hour is called Bad Animals and is produced for animals :) on their website they also have full track listings and a comment thread that anyone can join. It feels like the best parts of how the internet can make non-internet things better.

Royal Headache- Live in America (What’s Your Rupture)

I never had a chance to see Australia’s Royal Headache but loved their records. So I could look at this live document as a new release I’ve never heard before or ……as a (sad) reminder that I never saw them and sulk.

I will choose the former.

The first 8 songs are from 2012 when they showed up in Jersey City on Terre T’s Cherry Blossom Clinic radio show on WFMU and did a ravaging set. Vocalist Shogun is in fine form as always, while the rest of the band (Lew on guitar, Shortty on drums, and Joe on bass) just hammer away like their lives depended on it.

The final 9 songs (side B) are from a set at Chicago's Empty Bottle in 2015 and again, the band sounds on fire and the sound is clear and raucous.

You'll hear old faves like “High,” “Really in Love,” “Down the Lane,” “Pity,” “Electric Shock, ” and plenty more. Dive in and hear, flat out, one of the best bands of the 2010’s.

When it comes to finding a peaceful state of mind, music can be a powerful tool. New age music, in particular, has gained popularity in recent years for its calming and soothing properties. With advancements in technology, it's easier than ever to discover new age music online. In this guide, we'll explore the best ways to find and enjoy new age music for a serene experience. One of the easiest ways to discover new age music online is through streaming platforms. Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora are just a few examples of platforms that offer a vast selection of new age playlists and albums. These platforms use algorithms to create personalized playlists based on your preferences, so be sure to give a few new age tracks a listen to get the best recommendations. If you're interested in a more curated approach, there are online radio stations that specialize in new age music. One such station is WFMU's "SomaFM" channel, which offers a variety of new age tracks and live shows. Another option is "Hearts of Space," a radio show that has been broadcasting new age and ambient music since 1973. Both of these options provide a more immersive musical experience that can transport you to a calm and peaceful state of mind. Another way to explore new age music is through online communities. Websites like Reddit and Facebook groups offer a forum for enthusiasts to share recommendations and discuss their favorite tracks. You can also explore websites like New Age Music Circle and One World Music for in-depth reviews and content related to new age music. If you're looking for a more interactive experience, there are several online events and festivals dedicated to new age music. One such event is "New Age Gathering," which brings together artists and enthusiasts for a weekend of music, workshops, and community building.

You may notice most links on this page don't work, I'm still working on that. Sunsquashed is back up and my email is working - if something has bounced in the past week, please re-send it. But my advice is never, ever, ever do business with webhostplus or. The details are lengthy and not worth rehashing (you can read all about it here if you have the stomach for it). Sunsquashed has been down for a week due to a total lack of competence of 's part (AKA webhostplus AKA my ex-webhoster). Like Deja Vu All Over Again (Happy Birthday Yogi) My tradelist, the complete list of setlists, and the discography are back up for those seeking them.

The Oct 24 KEXP show mentioned below is available right here. Was the refusal of the cast of "The Times They AreĪ-Changin'" to take part the last straw? Really, is there anything to Just wouldn't be able to put together a lineup as Hanukkahriffic as We have concluded that our touring schedule is such we Reluctantly decided not to play the eight nights of Hanukkah this yearĪt Maxwell's. Ironically, that cover song is way better than anything off of this disastrous release.In answer to the most FA'd Q of the last few months, we have You get three CDs, including Acid Eaters and Mondo Bizarro, which has their cover of the Spider-man theme song. And if you're a completist who has to buy all the Ramones releases, get The Chrysalis Years. Buy any other Ramones album other than this one. Unsurprisingly, there is not one song from Acid Eaters on that, which should hopefully tell you something. The compilation Hey! Ho! Let's Go: The Anthology is a very good look at most of the Ramones' material. Even with that they still sound like a good opening band, definitely not the powerful being that was the Ramones. My favorite track on this was "I Can't Control Myself," as the whole production was wonderfully amazing. The closest thing to bubblegum here is "Surf City " by the time I got that far I had grown tired of listening (I was bored through the whole thing). The high point in Joey's vocals is the cover of "Substitute" by the Who, an OK cover, but not great. They sound like a crappy cover band trying to make a few bucks. Actually, on all the songs he sounds tired and lackluster and the whole band seems pretty bored and uncreative. The notable power chord sounds we have expected from the Ramones are finally emerging. "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" is an exception. One problem with Acid Eaters is the production, the guitar was too low and in the background on most songs. These songs sounded great when played in the Ramones' punk fashion. They have done great cover songs before Acid Eaters like "Let's Dance," "California Sun" "Do You Wanna Dance?" and "Palisades Park," which were 60s bubblegum pop songs, not hippy tunes. But this album of '60s psychedelic cover songs was the worst thing in their 22-year career. The Ramones are one of my favorite bands.

Squidbillies #45: "Confessions of a Gangrenous Mind" | June 15, 2009 - 12:00AM | S04E05

Tonight’s episode of Squidbillies mostly involves Granny just flapping her dang jaw to the other squids. She mentions Rusty’s great grandpapa, a man Early has disdain for. This doesn't actually have a pay off, because the man is shrouded in mystery and he seems to be surprised by the reveal himself at the end of the episode.

Granny begins to tell various tales about how she met the man she calls grandpapa, but keeps telling tales that mislead Rusty (and the FUCKING BEAUTIFUL bloggers watching) into thinking she’s talking about the man in question, but she’s actually talking about some random dude she gave a handy to. We never do find out who she’s talking about, as she seems to just pull the name General Sherman out of her ass, which would make the squids Yankees. This is overshadowed by Early’s realization that means they won the war, causing him to shoot his gun into the air in celebration. 

This one has a lot of flashbacks, and some bits of business where they huff gasoline and Early goes out to buy some of those bullethole decals for his truck. Also the start of the episode has Granny trying to get laid by a trucker on a CB radio. Okay, I know what a lot lizard is, but the guy on the other end of the radio conversation says he’s hauling pine cones. Is THAT trucker lingo? Is it fake trucker lingo? Was it meant to be literal? To all the truckers reading this, please illuminate me.

Granny claims sexual encounters with Rhet Butler (from Gone with the Wind), Julius “Dr. J” Erving (from the world of professional basketball), Nitro (from American Gladiators), and Jesus Christ (from S01E04 of Squidbillies). She also credits a Frankenstein monster of her own creation might’ve gotten into that sweet squid puss. 

Some of Granny’s flashbacks have to do with her being a slave, and she has a delusional memory of her and all the slaves being really happy. This is maybe the biggest laugh of the episode, and is likely inspired by a similar characterization from the withheld Disney film Song of the South. The brilliant mind that runs the Squidbillies wiki writes: “The African slaves are revealed to pick up cotton during the past.” Hey, thank you for that. That’s the best part of the episode. The rest was okay. I don’t mind this show, really.

Let's face it folx, chalet 2000 sucks and if you like or try to defend it you're retarded. facts!

It is in the running for their worst sketch, and it's a good thing they made it show-length, so you can just skip that entire episode. When that sketch where Scott plays the queen and thinks Canada is leaving the Monarchy you have to fast forward and try not to miss the next sketch. Hey, isn't it weird that that queen sketch is in a best-of? It literally might be my least-favorite sketch of theirs. Huh!

Besides Ben from Dr. Katz (which you don't like that much because you put it behind Workaholics for clicks) and Coach McGuirk do you like H. Jon Benjamin in anything else? Curious.

Folks (or folx, as some people like to say), he's referring to a twitter thread where I ranked every Comedy Central show. I am going to think about this without looking anything up. I liked him when he called into the Best Show on WFMU. I liked him as the voice of the canned vegetables on Wet Hot American Summer. I liked what little of Jon Benjamin has a Van I saw. There's a current commercial where he's the voice of a pigeon and I detest it with all of my soul. Just keeping it real.

Can I spit some real at you, kimosabe? When you said "I didn't know Adam Savage could be so savage" a few years ago...fucking hilarious. He's an okay dude though you should be nice to him. That whole scene was messed up but I think our boy came out clean. See you on the Mybusters forums, broshoes.

I think it's a good idea to just not care about Adam Savage, that way you don't have to have an opinion. I think I must have momentarily thought he was Adam Ruins Everything guy, which I would've gotten significant schadenfreude off of finding out was rude to his sister.

Mick Foley aka "Mankind" has multiple claims to fame even to the non-wrestling aficionado: 1. being from Long Island 2. looking like Kevin Smith 3. officiating a wrestling match between Eric Matthews, Matthew Lawrence, and the giant redhead in an episode of Boy Meets World

BIG LOL at calling her the "giant" redhead. I know what you mean. She's large and in charge and I think of her often.

I always thought it was weird that they banned the confederate flag episode of Squidbillies considering "The Fine Ol Solution" is way worse imo

I didn't know about that episode being banned, damn!

The Best Show fans recommend me episodes and bits

[hyenabutter]

It was sometime around 2010 when I finally, after years of hearing its praises sung, started listening to The Best Show on WFMU, with host Tom Scharpling. Part of why I’d never gotten invested was the heft of the show: it’s hard to set aside three hours at a stretch to listen to a radio comedy program. But then I got a night-shift job at a sleep lab, from six to six, with tons of down-time, and it wasn’t long before I became something of a rabid fan. Nearly every episode in the show’s history was available for download, and I would sometimes listen to as many as three of them in a night, sometimes having to bite down on my hand to keep from laughing out loud and waking up the patients I was supposed to be monitoring. 

I don’t remember exactly what was going on at the time, but I do remember I was in a kind of down place in my life, and it was around then that I fell hard into comedy and podcasts: all I would do at work was listen to the seemingly endless stream of material that was pouring out of the internet. I don’t want to say comedy saved my life or anything dramatic and corny like that, but it was definitely a kind of life raft (no joke, I accidentally typed “laugh raft”) that I floated to safer shores upon. 

The sturdiest of those vessels, though, was always The Best Show. It was the hardest to get into, and it’s the hardest to sell people on, because it takes genuine dedication to sit and listen to a 35-minute conversation between two people that often has no obvious huge punchline. But you give it a little time, and god how it gets its hooks into you. There’s no way to explain its brilliance, or its strangeness. You just drink it in. 

I don’t work nights anymore, and so once again it’s become harder for me to listen with the religious intensity I had six or seven years ago. But I know the show is there for me, and I’ll always be appreciative of it, and what it did for me, when it made me feel a little less alone, and a lot happier. 

It’s Tom Scharpling’s birthday today. A hand, please.
