    I like this series. John Flansburgh is cool as hell. He should have a talk show or at the very least a podcast. Has an engaging way of speaking.

      Flans might be more actively obsessive about music? He’s definitely passionate and still interested in finding new things.
      Linnell might be the type that just likes what he likes, often people slow down on music discovery/consumption as they get older and just stick with what they liked in their youth. Who knows, though.

    • @reginaldperiwinkle
      @reginaldperiwinkle 4 года назад +25

      @@ezekielbrockmann114 Maybe they are in fact married, but it's just a secret. Maybe in the relationship Flansburgh plays the role of the domineering and abusive husband to Linnell's long suffering wife. Maybe Linnell wanted to do the interview, but Flansburgh wouldn't let him. Maybe, once they got home, Linnell caught hell from Flansburgh for even asking. And maybe Linnell started crying under the abuse. And then maybe Flansburgh felt bad about it, apologized, and, in his remorse, made sweet love to Linnell. My point is, you ultimately don't know.

    I knew all the lady jazz singers he mentioned.... props Flans! Truly underrated singers. But I must say Lambert H&R I think is equal to the King Pleasure stuff with her, just because there's a real lack of her singing in the King Pleasure sessions, just a few featured songs.

    If you owned a first pressing that was worth some money and they just made another batch you'd think differently.
    Changing the art help distinguish between pressing with out you having to know everything about an album.

    I see what your saying but I really never buy a record simply because it's worth a lot of money. If I can get a good deal on something that is usually expensive and I like it then I'll certainly buy it, but I never really resell anything, The artwork thing just annoys me personally because even if its a reissue the music is still the same and I don't like when they change something the artists originally intended. Take care man
