Another Academy

[mjp]

I'm not a big fan of the Oscars or the Grammys or any other award-giving spectacle for that matter, but I think I may watch tonight. We've only seen one of the nominated movies - in any category - so I'm thinking an "Oscar wrap-up" podcast could be funny ("Didn't see it...didn't see it...didn't see it...).

In other news, rain is forecast this afternoon, and it's gloomy and sprinkley right now, so maybe we'll get to see the Los Angeles sky piss on the Oscars and the 20,000 media types who hover around it. Though I'm sure there are extraordinary measure in place to make sure a drop of rain never gets within 30 feet of George Clooney or Meryl Streep. But it's the thought that counts.

I still say it's a broadside. :wb:

A satirical podcast about the Oscars would be great.

 

[mjp]

Well here's your chance to listen to one!

 

[HugOK]

This fine podcast saves you precious time; you don't have to watch the oscars show and you can feel ok about not having seen most films getting one; and no broadway dancers here...

I used to like Tegan and Sara.

They're awesome.

Enjoyed the latest podcast #11, one of my favorites so far.
Listening to you is kind of relaxing, and no matter if the subject is interesting or not, it's always a lesson in American English for me.

 

[mjp]

Thanks.

I almost named the podcast A Lesson in American English, but I though that might be presumptuous.

I'll take this down if the listing is removed, but Jim Camp from Synaesthesia Press picked up some runover Another Academy copies that are not assembled. He made a video, so I thought I'd share. Personally, it's my favorite BSP Bukowski broadside -- when assembled. But it's pretty cool that you can get an unfolded cooy of the poem itself.

Unassembled state. Printers routinely produced a small number of extra sheets—known as overs—to ensure a complete run once losses, flaws, or misprints were accounted for. These surplus pieces were never intended for sale or circulation and were typically discarded after binding/assembly was...

Yeah, nice item. They only cost him about $20 each at the PBA on Dec.4th. Nice markup as well on what he wants for them.

I like these extra sheets. I frame ‘em and hang ‘em up on the walls of my hovel. I also have them pressed onto wooden boards and lacquered by a shop around here. I think it’s called “mounting on a wooden block”. I just tell the guy to “do what you did last time”.
