Oh no! Just when you thought it was safe to hang out at the Quick Stop…
Cabin Fever (hosted by the twisted souls Brian Fitzpatrick and Aaron Poole) is the result of having too much time on your hands and access to your local community radio station.
Over the course of an hour, they manage to trawl the depths of good taste, plus throw some music in. How much more could you want from a podcast?… Quality? Oh… we didn’t think of that.
Enjoy! And we hope our cross Atlantic friends can understand the Irish accent π
Hugs and Kisses,
Aaron P. + Rev. Fitzy
CABIN FEVER #45: Scotch Mist – Our dynamic duo are once again joined by everyone’s favourite Irish lass, and together they tackle and taste test some traditional Scottish treats. Ireland’s recent political turmoil also gets a mention, plus there’s some musical goodies from the cabin crew themselves. Additional music is provided by 1,000 Hours.

You know ’em as the RiffTrax trio, but here at Song Fu they are the mighty RiffTones…
I suppose I am what you could call a “Multi-Instrumentalist”. That is a nice way of saying “Jack-of-all-trades, Master-of-none”. I began playing drums as a teenager and spent a great deal of energy during my 20’s trying to “make it” in the music biz. As a drummer, I have had the opportunity to play with some pretty incredible musicians, garnering literally DOZENS of fans over the years. In 2004 I joined the band Celestial Static, and spent several years melting some face with good friends Jeremy and Julie Elzerman. Once that ran its course, I decided to spend more time locked away in my studio, writing my own songs and learning to play guitar, bass and sing. It doesn’t pay the bills, but I have a good time doing it.
Seth Green as the sarcastic Amish mechanic is the only saving grace of an otherwise uninspired teen-sex-road-movie, he really is absolutely hilarious with almost every line he utters. I will say that if all the gags and jokes weren’t completely tired in my 2008 eyes, I might say that Sex Drive is “pretty funny,” but I found it more angering and bland. I love teen movies too, please don’t think I have some vendetta against the genre. Perhaps my extensive knowledge of the genre is what is ironically damaging. This is a Frankenstein’s monster of teen movies, however not a parody, and if you are too apathetic, too lazy or too young to bother watching all that it steals from…then you will probably enjoy it.

I’ll be perfectly honest with you – I was not a huge fan of The Matrix. I enjoyed the flick for what it was – a minor mind-f*** whose special effects and energy thankfully cancelled out most of its banal, overcooked pseudo-philosophizing and messianic overtones. But then came the sequels, which both – in quick succession – managed to top each other on the “Someone actually wrote this crap?” scale. Declining box office was proof enough – a fair number of fans who though The Matrix was the second coming (make your own jokes) left the theater feeling betrayed by creators who obviously had their grip locked firmly on something besides the story.

ANDERS: Well, what happened was the movie turned out so well that the studio wanted to have word of mouth screenings all over the country because they know this movie is a hard sell.
CS: It was a nice sort of kick at the end. How did that all come about when you are doing all these gags? It’s a thin line between obnoxious “β in my advanced age, I’m 33 “β I’m no foggie but when I see it “β I get it, it’s supposed to be funny but you can have humor that just tries way too hard.

There is no doubt about the facts surrounding the Bush administration; there are some indelible moments that can never be adjusted or reinterpreted. The kind of film that Oliver Stone has created feels like one long dramatization of these facts and of some possible conversations that might have taken place.

CABIN FEVER #44: The Sho Show – Our cabin-girl Shona returns from the wilderness to add some quantity to the proceedings, but not necessarily any quality. This leads to talk of what not to do when urinating, some line treading on the subjects of our gay listeners, and Top 5 prospective lovers. Jonathan Coulton plays the team out, and for the second week in a row a 60 second review arrives on time. There is too much going on in this show these days…
I’m awesome. I wrote a book. It’s got little to do with movies.
