       On The Topic of Interviews

       you ever notice how rz-related interviews always seem to be
       conducted by these... really kind of bumblebutt kinds of hosts?
       they always seem to get Cryptic mixed up with The Residents and
       never seem to move beyond the first 5 albums. it's bothersome.
       i guess that's why the BOGcast was so appealing. it's one of
       those things that, regardless of potential for success, i think
       something like it should be brought back. (now, personally, if i
       had the proper recording equipment and so on, i'd lend myself to
       such a task... but that's for another day.)
       anyone else agree or am i just shaking my fist at clouds ad
       infinitum and ad nauseum?

       I've found pretty much all the ones I've listened to at least
       have some basic etiquette: making sure to always refer to them
       as "they" or "The Residents" instead of confusing them with any
       specific people. Today's interview was pretty aggravating since
       the production seemed very unprofessional (like... why wouldn't
       you edit out the bit where Captain Doc was dealing with
       construction noise? And HOW was the CD playback that horrible?
       Did you rub your CDs down with sandpaper and take a hammer to
       the equipment or something?!). I will say the guy kind of had an
       excuse with being kinda Clifford-ish since the show's scope was
       focused on 60's-70's music, but still, you can't like, read
       their wikipedia page a few times before interviewing a
       spokesperson?! I feel like the Japanese WAVE interviews went
       more smoothly and were more respectful, since Homer Flynn tends
       to use big words and complex sentences that are hard to
       translate!
       To a certain degree I understand specific aspects of most of
       these radio shows; they tend to play specific tracks to
       demonstrate how weird The Residents are while also needing to
       stay safe enough to not freak out people who just wanted to
       listen to some NPR over their lunch break. Also, most of these
       hosts just aren't mega fans of The Residents who know exactly
       what to ask and what to play along with and how great all the
       albums after the commercial album are.

       yeah, i can see that a lot of these are for people who either
       aren't aware of the rz or only know about the first 5 albums.
       but as a fan, it kind of makes me wish for more. like, even some
       kind of discussion among fans would be cool.
       man, i know the rz are done with podcasts, but like.. as a fan?
       what i wouldn't GIVE to have a Project of The Week style thing..
       in audio form. gosh. wouldn't THAT be nice. (life WOULD be
       wonderful..)
