Longmont Potion Castle

I voted for his latest on my Pazz & Jop ballot last year. Nobody batted an eye.

my name on ilx was 'towelette pettatucci' for a short amt of time

i heard a rumour LBC has done live shows? anyone experienced that?

super funny shit.

lol how many ilx names are longmont

I read a review that said there are some calls to celebrities on your releases. Did I miss those? Who are they?

I don't know how to answer that. They're unlisted on there, and I'm unlisted on there, you know? But just for your information, GG Allin and Sidney Portier both make an appearance. GG is the one who is "sitting here drinking Beam," and Sidney is the one who insists that "no one in this house ordered any millipedes."

Every couple of months I scan eBay in the hopes of coming across the 6 disc box set he put out, but I never see it on there.
...Anyone got a lead on a copy?

If I ever wonder if the ilxor experience has been worth it, I'll just remember that I discovered LPC here.

double double check double triple flip check

i was in touch w/ him years back, wish i still had those emails. he did tell me that the orange julius calls were not done by a little girl as i'd thought but by his then gf's son. still have a vhs copy of the lpc home video around, its pretty strange.

you should make that digital somehow and share it with me

or else what you're proposing is a complete Darwinian society

I don't accept your rhetoric.

its part of the box set

The DVD contains the videos Live From Longmont Potion Castle, Return to Longmont Potion Castle as well as several other clips.

Sorry wrong thread!

Heh - "Wig Out at Jagbags" totally sounds like it COULD be an LPC thing

i can't believe this is still a thing. i was reminded of LPC today and hadn't thought about it/him for probably 15 years.

pretty interesting!
https://www.thedoe.com/articles/the-first-longmont-potion-castle-album

that's amazing

Yeah wow what a story

apparently he's answering Qs on twitter:

Fans! Have a burning question for @LongmontPotion? Leave one below and the man, himself, just may answer it. 👇#longmontpotioncastle

— The Doe (@wearethedoe) January 20, 2020

That story is wild.

new one tomorrow

can't believe this went unreleased. i'm fuckin dying here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr49txvlke4

yes, just what i needed

that is the best

What's the frickin subtotal up there, cap?

I got no total

omg that sampled laughter

the longmont "... or?" has infiltrated my own speech

10 pounds of soda

Always found the Alex Trebek calls heartwarming - Trebek is so nice and seemed like he actually secretly got a kick out of it, genuinely curious and interested to talk to random people from around the country, even if he's kind of acting annoyed. Like this one where when the phone rings again he immediately goes "lets wait and see who picks up".

yeah is it weird when the news came one of my first thoughts was "LPC lost his only friend"

My name is Whip. I was recently on a frigate.

apparently the new one has a ton of alex trebek

yeah im halfway through and theres already much alex content

admittedly when he died one of my first thoughts was sympathy for LPC cuz he must've considered him a friend at this point

Kind of a tense moment on the new one where what sounds like a 7 year old picks up, and I'm praying he doesnt fuck with a little kid and freak him out and make him upset. But LPC seamlessly modulates his routine and the kid immediately gets into the spirit and starts having a blast yelling into the phone and answering silly questions and it ends up being very adorable.

"Wwwhat is yourrr opinnnnion of rubberbandsss?"
"I love rubberbands!"
"Do you like to feeeed squirrels?"
"HOW DID YOU KNOW I LIKE TO FEED SQUIRRELS? BECAUSE I NAMED A SQUIRREL AND I FEED HIM! SO YES I LIKE TO FEED SQUIRRELS!"

Haven't done comparative study, but good screamin' over guitarr: https://deertick.bandcamp.com/track/divine-providence-feat-longmont-potion-castle

Longmont used to be a cow town, now it's practically a suburb of Boulder.

started listening to the last few I missed, he's just as funny as ever though oftentimes a little more conceptual, for better or worse

the moment OEO mentions above is cute - I was a bit nervous about it as well but it's actually pretty cool, because for once he found someone who's taking him seriously, it's a really fun conversation

but the ones I really like are "Gentlemen's Quarters" and "Skipper's Housewarming" on 18, because he manages to make both ladies laugh uncontrollably which I think catches him off guard and causes him to break character a bit. one of them even offers to come over, and *not* because she wants to kick his ass! I don't think that's ever happened on an LPC album before

this one from the new album is incredible, idk why but that STAR PEOPLE loop just kills me

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXkOuJrYnV0

its like edited together from a Judas Priest song too lmao

yeah that's just an all time longmont track

Listening to his latest, and it concludes with an hourlong interview with him (mostly) out of character talking about his life & process, kinda shocking to just hear him have a normal conversation with someone. Dont think I've ever heard him with the mask off like that

oh wow -- that's wild

lol I immediately went and bought it and within 30 seconds was helpless with laughter

Yeah I'll need to hear this, what an amazing thing to do after all this time!

the interview is great -- he's both not in character and still doing his thing with the sfx -- this release is a bright spot this week

So interesting to hear him be candid like that. Big reveal that he apparently has loads of unreleased Trebek calls that he hasnt decided what to do with! Maybe a tribute comp?

when he says he has a bunch of stuff with Alex Trebek he hasn't released I'm like PLEASE YOU HAVE TO LET US HAVE THIS

xpost yes I need this
