It's Only Inches on the Reel-to-Reel

Last week Irene McGee had me, Ben Fong-Torres, and various other folks on her show No One's Listening to talk about the past, present, and future of radio. The results are now available in podcast form.

(Like Nixon declaring that he's not a crook, and with about as much credibility, I have to insist that I'm not an asshole. I know it sounds like I keep steamrolling over everything the interviewer tries to interject, but that's because we recorded a half-hour conversation for a 15-minute slot, and one of the ways they cut it down to size was by taking out most of her comments and questions. Among other things, this means you'll miss the part where she exposes my ignorance of the Delilah show.)

Delilah is a sort of homeopathic wellness treatment in that it allows you to expel all that vomit that's been building up in your gut.

Delilah is a sort of homeopathic wellness treatment...

So in other words, it doesn't work?

We believe you. Honestly we do. Uh-huh.

How was the DC get-together, Jennifer? Was it well attended? Also, any pics?

...you'll miss the part where she exposes my ignorance of the Delilah show.

Trust me...you're not missing anything...

Smacky--

There was a pretty good turnout. Grylliade took some pictures, which I guess he'll be putting on his site. I came out looking godawful in each one of them.

The Delilah show is great at being unintentionally funny.

As Stevo would write, I know a guy (not me, really) who met a chick who started to dig him, so he asked her out. When he got to her house, he tried to figure out what kind of music she likes. Her daughter told him, "She listens to sappy shit like Delilah." Next time I saw him, he asked, "Who is Delilah? What kind of music does she play?" I just laughed. Opposites attract.

Ellie posted the pictures. I look horrible.

You do not.

In one pic you look crafty, scheming and backlit. In two others you look magenta. But it's a very hot magenta.

Woman, still thy fretting!

PS: I need to join you folks over there. That means I have to get my home computer set up. That means I have to go home to organize the room. That means I have to finish this letter and go home. That means I have to stop posting now.

Although it is a little disturbing to see the photos of some of the guys as they "master weight" on the carpet.

Pablo Picasso was an asshole. Mr Walker, you're no Pablo Picasso.

[Chris the Producer]

I produce Irene's show, and we have been laughing about this same issue lately. So I have posted more info in our show blog today, in case you want a glimpse into this phenomenon. Thanks for a great interview, Jesse!
