Fan Rants

This week Johnny and I went to C2E2, the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo.  I’m severely disappointed because we weren’t able to drink as much as we wanted.  This is because we were working.  I know, you’re thinking “when has drinking at work ever been a problem?”  Well, hindsight is 20/40, especially when you’ve been drinking in the morning.  We really had a great time at the convention and were sad to leave.

We spent 4 lovely days in Chicago, taking in the sights and reporting our findings on the website.  I do hope you’re reading the website… You can follow the podcast at @fantsinpants where there are links given out to new articles as they’re posted along with my comments and banter and digital belches, OR if for some unknown reason you don’t like to hear me rant at celebrities and talk about the book I’m reading on the crapper, you can follow @fanrants and just get link updates.  Either way, follow one of them… It really is the best way to see what we’re doing AND get in touch with us.

Johnny and I picked up some pretty awesome swag at the convention, and we plan on giving most of it away!  You will either need to check back here, or follow one (or both) of the above twitter accounts for details.

Music this week was very graciously provided by the band The Browncoats.  We met them at C2E2 and they agreed to let us use their latest CD, Space Age Loser, as the backing music this week.  They were SUPER nice guys and thier version of The Hero of Canton is great! The whole CD is great!  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE support them!! You can hear them at The Browncoats Webpage.  Please go buy their stuff.

FINALLY!  First off, let me apologise for the delay.  Life happens.  Please note that there are no sponsors for the show (and we aim to keep it that way), which means we do this podcast (and this website) because we love doing it.  What this means is that sometimes life can get in the way of editing or recording the podcast.  While we aim to be a weekly pod, the reality is that sometime we are going to be bi-weekly, or something thereabouts.  Heh, “bi”.

This week we talked about Captain America, Fringe, Legend of the Seeker, boobs, movie ticket prices, and all that fun stuff.  There’s also a little bit about which Trades we’re reading.  This episode was actually recorded a couple weeks before it’s airing, as is evidenced by our Alice in Wonderland talk, so if you think the news is stale (which I personally do not) then focus on our liberal use of the word “balls”.  I also say “F*ck” a lot, which should make the 10 year old in you giggle.  Wait, why is there 10 year old in you?

Music this week was provided by the artist Tab. The first few songs were off the album Nightmares Daydream {a Silent Film}.  The rest of the music was from the album Traveling in Stereo

Barely legal… Welcome to Fan Rants Episode 19. This episode was edited rather drunkenly. It was recorded that way too. We talk about some movies. Since there’s not too much happening there, we bust into TV, where we talk about Lost. Due to a quadrennial sporting event, there hasn’t really been much on. Anyway, without further adieu, here is your episode.

Music this week was first from the artist Kudai off the album Shah Mat

The second artist was Fresh Body Shop from the album Make This End

Wow!  It’s been a long time!  We’ve missed you.  Sorry it’s taken so long to pump out an episode.  Johnny was out of town and last week we had some technical difficulties.  We actually recorded an episiode, but the audio was all messed up.  We got it right this week and we hope to deliver a  flaming golden turn to your doorstep for you to stomp on.  We talked about Superman this week.  A lot.

There was no music this week.  I looked around for some, wasn’t feeling inspired by anything and hit a deadline to get this one out, which I am already a day late for.  Music will return next week.

More Tentacles than you can shake a little Asian girls bottom at!!  This week we we FINALLY talk about Lost… I guess we wanted to wait until it was airing and we would sound like we were behind the times.  Same thing with Fringe.  Did you see that Olivia could see Peter “glimmering”?  We hadn’t yet either!  And no, he’s not a vampire.  They “sparkle”.

Anyway, we hope you enjoy listening to our drunken rambles, even if in this case they may seem a little behind the times. 

The first music you heard was from the Brooklyn based band “The Trembling Turncoats” from the album “Lieutenant Commander”

The second music was from the Dutch band “Kismet” from the album “Hiatus“
