The flaming episode 37
It’s episode 37. (37!??) Yes, 37! This week we cast our critical ears on The Flaming Lips’ new album At War With the Mystics. In the Weakly Disappointment segment, Lunchbox spoils The Sopranos for Padrino. We introduce a new segment, Slanguage (and prepare to fend off a lawsuit from Rich Hall). We talk about moments from the episode 3 cliffhanger on The Amazing Race. A late-breaking news bulleting comes in. Finally, in the Geek Zone, we hear about Star Trek: New Voyages and find out what news about the PlayStation 3 has Microsoft clicking their heels.

Padrino! I didn’t realize you were a Sopranos fan! Gosh that was a long wait huh??? David and I never miss an episode! Funny Episode guys!

Dang, you are quick! I just posted this one!
March 27th, 2006 at 11:56 am
Yeah, I have nothing to do at work about 6 hours of the day especially when no one in this dumb town is dying! hah!

Mrs. Brightside!
I’m certain that if the Ill Crate had more listeners in your area, you’d have work coming out yer ears! There would be tons of Texans takin’ “the easy way out.” Glad you liked the episode . . . I thought it was one of the best ever. BTW, I sort of got hooked on the Sopranos last season (well, the last time they had a season) because I was the only person at work who wasn’t watching the show and I was feeling a bit left out of the scuttlebutt loop.
Umm, L.G., I didn’t get the Rich Hall remark in the synopsis; wasn’t he a game show host or something? Anyway, I didn’t really steal the idea for “Slanguage” from Rich Hall, well, not unless he is the guy who takes care of the column for FHM. Cuz, that’s where I stole the idea from. Actually, I got the idea from Lewis Carroll. The recent FHM simply reminded me that I’ve been wanting to do something like that for some time . . . however, my lame attempt at matching wits with L.C. has me reconsidering what a true ass I really am.
With Love,
Pads

Hey good show guys! I always have fun listening in. I happend to love the slanguage part of the show. I think you should continue with it. Wow, the Flaming Lips…haven’t thought about them in a long time. They sound quite different from what I remember though. (hey, click the link to my page when ya have some time!)

Well we have had a rise in suicides since I started posting banners around town about The Ill Crate. I never thought to connect the two! hah! The Sopranos rule! Paulie is the best! I love his white winged hair. Uncle Junior reminds me of Dad in about 10 years or so. I don’t know why!
March 29th, 2006 at 2:56 pm
Hahahaha! That is to be expected! And we wouldn’t want it any other way . . .
Speaking of suicide - I nearly committed kitchen knife to wrist when I took a look at She Appizle’s “MySpace” page and noticed that a certain Padrino didn’t make the “Heroes” list? I guess 2 National Poetry awards before the age of 17 just doesn’t hold as much currency as it did in the 80’s; we won’t even mention several papers published in certain academic journals.
(yelling downstairs) - “Hey 101011, where’s that sharp knife I used to keep in my desk drawer?”
Just kiddin’ Spacer!
I actually loved both of your pages. Looks like it took a helluvalot of work. Very Colorful. Very Creative. Very nice. And I must commend you on your loving tribute to LLT. Both of you are true champs!
Your fan!

P.S. Paulie rulz! And I also love Little Steven Van Zandt’s Character! I can never remember his name on the show for some reason. BTW, you did know that he was the guitar player for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, didn’t you? He wrote the song “Sun City.” You may know U2’s version of it better.

His character is Sylvio and did you know the one who plays his wife on the show is his real wife? She travels with the band and everything. Talk about needing some room to breathe!

That’s gotta be really difficult to yell out 101011’s name in an emergency situation!! Do you ever just call her 10? Wow, so no one told me about those poetry awards and academic jounals. I’m not surprised considering how incredibly creative you are. Oh my gosh, and so quick and clever. There is one episode of the ill crate I almost wet my pants I was laughing so hard. The one when LG says he had a robot named 2XL and you said, something like “that’s not a robot, that’s my shirt size”. Loved it!! Can’t wait for your next show. So, do these shows just come out at random dates or do you guys post them on a certain schedule?
March 30th, 2006 at 11:50 am
That’s hilarous about 1010011′a name being shortened to 10! She Apizzle is quite clever!
March 30th, 2006 at 3:30 pm
We need to ask L.G. to be certain, but I think 101011 is something like “43″ in binary. So I could just start calling her that! About the schedule for the Ill Crate, we try to have them up on Monday, but sometimes we have trouble getting them done on time. The regular schedule is to record the show on Friday night, then after my bike ride on Saturday, I edit the show, adding all the sound FX and all, which takes about 3 or 4 hours, then I have convert it to an mp3 and upload it. The next step is for L.G. to carefully listen to it and write all the show notes and make links for them. Then he has to “publish” the show and write the synopsis. It is a lot of work and takes a ton of time. And sometimes we just simply miss making a show . . . I guess that is why we were only able to get 35 shows on-line when we should have had 52! Man, now that I look at the numbers, L.G. and I took about 17 weeks of vacation last year! Yowzaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Here’s a scary thought . . . I haven’t even picked out an artist for the next episode yet. Any suggestions? It has to be quick!

Hey everybody on the ill crate I am she apizzles significant other I enjoy listening to the ill crate and laughing along with she apizzle
March 30th, 2006 at 6:29 pm
Thanks, Mr. Exodus! Hope you’ll stay tuned!
Padrino, I vote for the Dirtbombs. And you were right: 43.
March 30th, 2006 at 7:59 pm
I suggest Social Distortion!!! Too popular though?
March 31st, 2006 at 8:24 am
How about Pulp? That whole “different class” album is awesome!!!!! Especially common people.
March 31st, 2006 at 1:36 pm
Holla, Mass Exodus!
Glad to have you aboard! I’ll get on seeing about Pulp and Social Distortion. I’m pretty familiar with Social Distortion . . . I think I have a few of their albums buried in the Ill Crate somewhere. I’ll have to take a look. It is Friday, about 1:30 p.m. and I still haven’t settled on an artist yet, however, I have been listening to quite a bit of Rilo Kiley . . . I was thinking of doing that, but I’m going to check and see if I don’t have The Dirtbombs and the others hiding somewhere in the crate.
BTW, if any of you have some contributions you’d like to add to “Slanguage” send them over to us at:
padrino@illcrate.com
Of course we’ll give you props. I’m sure a creative soul like She Apizzle could come up with a few.
The Sophanos:
Padrino and Mrs. Brightside, avid watchers (fans) of the Sopranos. Har har!
Yours,
Padrino

April 3rd, 2006 at 7:04 pm
Mrs. Brightside!
We haven’t received any “Slanguage” tidbits from She Appizle . . . YET, but I’m certain that that fireball of creativity will not disappoint us! I bet you have something up your sleeve as well, so send it along:
padrino@illcrate.com
You have about a week and a half since we will be on hiatus this week. Again, we really appreciate your listening and your feedback.
Padrino
