Weirdos TV episode 12 - Post-Joey and Wisconsin Weirdos

In this extra-long episode, we dissect the Joey Reynolds interview from the previous night. It was really fun; I'm looking forward to doing more appearances like this.

AND, we get our first live interview with some Weirdos, excellent cool kids from Wisconsin who called in before the show and were urged to call back. Actually, I called them back during the show and that got them to call in again. Rock on, Wisconsin Weirdos.

Weirdos TV episode 11 - Preparing for Joey

After this episode ended, I went off immediately to the studios of WOR to do a national radio show hosted by the legendary Joey Reynolds. Since Tom Ritchford and I had done the show last May, I add the recording of that to tonight's broadcast of the Weirdos TV show.

In the next episode, of course, I will be including the interview from the Joey Reynolds show, including video.

Weirdos TV episode 10 - Sleep No More for the Rest of Time

This episode has the radio alarm running in the background; you probably can't hear it. But it informed the whole show. Curtis Sliwa was on so I had to riff about that a bit.

I review some of the recent Weirdos line messages, including Howie's message from when I was asleep and should have been doing the show.

Some text is read from Harry Stack Sullivan's "Psychiatric Interview" and some Hawthorne samples left over from House of Celestial Experiments.

Weirdos TV episode 9 - A Dream Come True in the Best of All Possible Worlds

Aha! In this episode, I celebrate the dream come true that is this TV show. I read from the book Unmasking Our Minds. Many more samples from Hawthorne and old Weirdos messages.

You know.

Weirdos TV episode 8 - Short and Super-sick

In this episode, we explore pre-recorded audio I have of various recitations of text. Some from Shakespeare, some from Hawthorne.

I could not go for very long; I wasn't feeling well. I hope you still respect me in the morning.

Weirdos TV episode 7 - Future People and Carcasses

"I have already forgotten the secret, so I cannot reveal it even in spite of myself."

In this episode, we have our very first real guest, Monsieur Armand Ruhlman, who apparently rules man. He cast me as the Mad Doctor in his bizarre-O serial The Earth People vs. the Carcass Eaters. So I'm on the carcass-eater's side, and I point out that the old folks are delicious.

Armand and I talk for quite a while, and it's a good chance for those of you with questions about the show to have them answered in a somewhat coherent manner. At a certain point the audience rebels, things got nasty. But Armand was cheerful throughout, and will be coming back on the show soon, resplendent in his visual existence.

I also met some People from the Future tonight, and I spoke to them for 2 minutes. It was really fun and I think they may ask me to return to the future on a regular basis. I really hope so. Their future is carefully imagined and full of adventures. I highly recommend you go see their show, Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind irregardless of whether they invite me to join them.

I also have a virtual conversation with my ex-girlfriend. It was nice.

Weirdos TV episode 6 - Amsterdam and Junk

This episode is not. I don't know why, it just isn't. So don't ask it to be; that just isn't nice.

But if you like old Verge songs, I do a groovy little version of "The Grass is Always Greener in Amsterdam". I am not well, so it isn't the best, and, well, the whole show isn't...oh, yes, I told you that already.

Weirdos TV episode 5 - Anna Karenina

When Vronsky avoids confusion, he only cheats himself of the opportunity of loving Anna fully. She, of course, goes mad.

Meanwhile, Jeremy X. eats the Weirdos, but they don't agree with him, so he vomits them back up again.

There was some trouble with episode 4, so it's getting posted today instead of yesterday like it should have been. Isn't that wonderful? Doesn't it make you whine and wonder?

I know. Me, too.

Weirdos TV episode 4 - Elevators and Escalators

Episode 4 is really really really. And I mean really.

AND I tell the story of the man and the artist and the painting of the fish. A big favorite on the old radio show.

And then there's episode 5...that's getting posted today as well. We had some trouble with episode 4, so they're both going up together. Isn't that wonderful?

36. Respite in the Woods and the Carriage Motel

More crazy shots from my journey in the NorthEast. You can see how exhausted I was after climbing Mount Lafayette.

And a hort bit from behind the Carriage Motel, where there was a lovely river. The room had the classic "Magic Fingers" device attached to the bed.

35. Green Screen Madness - floating and falling

Since I wasn't in an unusual location, I decided to do this videocast in my underwear.

I can't remember anything about it - it all happened so fast.

I hope you enjoy the madness.

33. The Lake - the big room in my mind

This is the earlier video - the one that iTunes posted instead of the audio for a few days.

I don't remember it at all, so that's even better. "Testing the System" and the Ogg is featured.
