    Medialoper Bebop Episode 34: Welcomed to the Jungle

    Jim is finally back from Maui, and so we’re finally back with a podcast! This week, we wonder if Axl Rose is right to refuse entry into a Hall of Fame that would induct someone like Axl Rose. (07:51 – 19:13) Then, in 2012, should anybody be watching shows like Mad Men or Breaking Bad in anything but HD? Of course not, so we discuss the fact that DirecTV customers still have to suffer with AMC in Standard Definition. This also leads into a discussion on David Simon’s comments about people not watching The Wire properly. (19:14 – 29:55) Then, we follow up on the DOJ’s eBooks anti-trust lawsuit. (29:56 – 37:46) Finally, what’s in Jim’s mix: the latest records from Wussy, The Men, Nada Surf and Imperial Teen. (37:47 – 43:16) Subscribe to us in the iTunes, yo! One More Thing Tim – American Idiot onstage. (43:20 – 44:35) Kirk – Mirage by Matt Ruff (44:36 – 46:53) Jim – How you know you’re in Los Angeles (46:54 – 49:10) Medialoper Bebop Episode 34: Welcomed to the Jungle was recorded on at 7:00PM PDT on Thursday, April 12 via Audio Hijack Pro over iChat. It was edited by Jim in Audacity. The opening and closing theme of Medialoper Bebop is “Big Hand on the Seven” by our close personal friends, The Miss Alans.

    This week, Tim, Kirk & Jim start off by banging their heads against the LA Times paywall. (4:40 – 10:35) Next up, what’s worse than taking a drug test to get a job? Having a prospective employer login to Facebook as you. (10:36 – 18:30) Then, we all plan to go see The Hunger Games, after convincing Kirk that it’s a sequel to Moneyball. (18:31 – 22:21) Also, we look at how the new iPad’s Retina Display doesn’t play nicely with app developers who took shortcuts or tried to control the experience too tightly.

    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.

    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.
