A NOTE ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This episode is kind of a "catch up" episode. I realized the season is almost over and I had a bunch of stuff I hadn't gotten to yet, so in order to cram a lot in, there's only one song per band. Also, check out David Byrne's new book Bicycle Diaries.
ALSO ON THIS SHOW
This episode features a clip from a segment on The Onion's Video News (subscribe to the video podcast) called Victim In Fatal Car Accident Tragically Not Glenn Beck.
ALSO ON THIS SHOW
This episode features clips from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart about Al Franken's first bill which sought to ban funding for contractors who essentially allow the rape of their employees, and New Rules from Real Time with Bill Maher's season finale.
AND NOW SPECIAL BIT OF PROMOTION
On this episode I talked over "The Yes Men Theme - Credit Roll" by Neel Murgai and performed by Sunny Jain's Red Baraat Festival with Neel Murgai. If you haven't yet, be sure to check out The Yes Men's new movie The Yes Men Fix the World. It's a good, funny movie you'll enjoy and on top of that Kelli and I are both in it!
