lol how many ilx names are longmont

fennel cartwright, Thursday, 30 September 2010 07:37 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

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".

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.

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
