    Medialoper Bebop Episode 32: Rehab Rehab

    And we’re back! Kirk, Tim & Jim start off by discussing Daylight Saving Time and the logistics of attending SxSW in a wheelchair, and wonder Kirk didn’t do just that following his knee surgery. (4:28 – 10:00) You wonder why e-book prices have gone up in the past couple of years? And they’re all pretty much the same wherever you happen to shop? It’s because of a thing called “agency pricing,” and the U.S. Department of Justice are considering suing Apple and the major book-publishers over colluding to fix prices. (10:01 – 26:33) Then: we discuss artists asking Rush Limbaugh not use their songs on his show. (26:34 – 33:40) Finally, it’s Kirk’s turn for In The Mix. This week, it’s Ben Kweller, Chuck Prophet and The Died Pretty. (33:41 – 39:52) Subscribe to us in the iTunes, yo! One More Thing Tim – It’s William Shatner’s World, and we’re just living in it. (39:56 – 41:45) Kirk – MLB.TV has done the right thing this year. (41:46 – 45:20) Jim – Have you heard the new Van Halen album? (45:22 – 46:30) Medialoper Bebop Episode 32: Rehab Rehab was recorded at 2:00PM PDT on Sunday, March 11, 2012 via Audio Hijack Pro over iChat. It was edited by Jim in Audacity. The theme music for Medialoper Bebop is “Big Hand on the Seven” by our close personal friends, The Miss Alans, who not only don’t ask us for promotional consideration to mention our use of their song every time out, they don’t even know we have a podcast.

    Medialoper Bebop Episode 30: All The Great Swedes

    This week, Kirk, Tim & Jim start with a discussion of the awesome smart thermostat, Nest, — by the fathers of the iPod — which has become the target of a patent lawsuit by Honeywell. (04:10 – 14:04) Then, we talk about the new Neflix original series, Lillyhammer, (aka Silvio Goes to Norway and what it might portend for the future of programming. Oh, and of course, Steve Van Zant’s amazing acting chops. (14:05 – 19:25) After that, it’s a quick look at Madonna at the Super Bowl, and that time an A&R rep tried to convince Kirk to play her on our college radio station. (19:26 – 23:23) Then, it’s the return of the Coco Crisp Afro Watch! And Kirk has some absolutely stunning news.

    Medialoper Bebop Episode 27: Brain Decline

    In their first podcast of 2012, Jim & Tim wonder if you’ve heard that new Van Halen song. Kirk could care less. But it does lead to a discussion about various band reunions as well as the various incarnations of Van Halen. (4:37 – 11:04) Then, there is general worry at a British study that says brain decline starts in the mid-40s, not the early 60s. (11:05 – 19:55) Also, speaking of decline, has any retailer had a swifter decline than Best Buy? Probably, but who can remember? Kirk traces it back to when they got into a public spat with the DuroSport Electronics Corporation. (19:56 – 29:18) Finally, the latest inductee into the Medialoper Bebop Great Albums Hall of Fame, Horses by Patti Smith. Even though it’s Kirk’s choice, Jim is going to use this opportunity to link to his article about seeing Patti live in 1996, as well as Kassia’s article about her love for Patti Smith. (29:19 – 47:10) All that, and the new Van Halen song! On Medialoper Bebop Episode 27: Brain Decline. Subscribe to us in the iTunes, yo! One More Thing Tim – Thinks that The Onion is 47% less funny than it used to be. (47:11 – 49:03) Kirk – Is positive that, after this offseason, the Oakland Athletics are 47% less good than they used to be. (49:04 – 52:02) Jim – Thinks that Colson Whitehead’s most recent novel, Zone One is 47% better than the average novel.
