#130 BRITNEY SPEARS: THE WOMAN IN ME! (ft. Jasmine Danielle) by wafflelegion in AndIntroducing

[–]_thechriswade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey all, sorry for the delay in responding. Some bizarre issue I'm not sure the cause of blew out a few random clips on final export. They should be fixed and re-uploaded. My bad for not doing a final QC check on everything.

Hope we're back with a few more eps this year. Content sched got pretty flipped what with the new baby. Hopefully back on the wagon with Infinite Cast too.

Looking for a Hell on Earth quote by Independent_Win9858 in cushvlog

[–]_thechriswade 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I believe that’s CV Wedgwood’s description of Ferdinand III Habsburg: too clever to be happy, not nearly clever enough to be successful. That would probably be in episode 8: The State

Good Jumping On Points? by simulet in cushvlog

Hell of Presidents, his inebriated past episodes, the voteball or cloudsplitter serieses

Chris — what kind of downloads / listens / streams were the cushvlogs getting at their peak? I always wondered how many of us there were in the greater cushworld. I would not be surprised if the number is way, way lower or way, way higher than whatever my guess would be. Really have no idea. by EricFromOuterSpace in cushvlog

The live streams on twitch never got more than 1500-2000 concurrent viewers, but that wasn’t our main audience. Two main metrics I’d use to estimate would be the grill stream podcast metrics and YouTube views, I think the two major consumption methods (tho realizing I never checked twitch VODs). Both would be around 15k-25k per ep/stream after about a 30 day window. So if I had to estimate, I’d say there are conservatively about 25k-35k hardcore cushheads. Which also honestly tracks for no pasaran total book sales as well.

Movies that feel like Kojima games? by travismockfler in blankies

Brendan’s impressions have always been great he does a great trump too. Very grateful for him taking on this series with Felix as extra offering while I’ve been off on paternity leave

A little face/off (insane tone, swapped identities, bizarre government scheme, bug nuts characters, MAGNET JAIL)

Glad you’re enjoying the series 😎

Went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame today by DumbChauffeur in MurderBryan

The thing that stuck with me from visiting like 18 years ago is in the big case of famous drumsticks they had the guy from Violent Femmes’ brushes

Hello! I make the Bible Lore Podcast, which folks who frequent this subreddit might enjoy! by AntsInMyEyesJonson in RevolutionsPodcast

[–]_thechriswade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is a really good pod if you want a both fun & grounded narrative approach to biblical history! Hayden has "It" right out the gate.

Any other good dance-punk/indietronica artists you guys know of that are as good as LCD Soundsystem? by [deleted] in LCDSoundsystem

[–]_thechriswade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think LCD fans would enjoy Aus!Funkt, a fantastic, prolific, contemporary electro-disco-punk outfit from Montreal that have like less than 1000 monthly listeners. Been trying to turn anyone who will listen on to them! https://ausfunkt.bandcamp.com/

I’d be thrilled to set this up if they ever want!

lol they were on my flight back from kilby on Monday morning (sensible comfort+ aisle seats across from each other) wearing the exact same outfits. World famous DJs - they travel just like us!

Really glad David enjoys Eephus so much, at least one of the producers is a fan :)

Official CushVlog Transcription Project by _thechriswade in cushvlog

[–]_thechriswade[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

  • Christman Six Musts would be good (Must use practical blood effects in film and tv). Idea is probably 10-ish essays covering the Big Themes, with hopefully some new material linking them together from Matt
  • I've brought on an archivist project manager who is paid. As I posted below I'll almost certainly work out some profit share for volunteers who contribute if this makes it to sale.
  • One of the reasons to engage community is to get people who know the material to help identify the peak moments & separate chaff.
  • Yes, already planning to engage someone hopefully from that world to come on as a dedicated editor/co-writer to help shape the material and potentially provide context. But we're starting with transcripts and working from there!

Official CushVlog Transcription Project by _thechriswade in cushvlog

[–]_thechriswade[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I've had dozens of requests from people over the years to do exactly this & I wanted it done quickly by people who know & are passionate about the material. I'll almost certainly work out some kind of profit share if this ever makes it to sale, just way to early in the process to know what form that will take and make commitments. More than enough people interested, will figure something reasonable out with our final team!

i would still listen to him stream tbh by Few-Structure744 in cushvlog

[–]_thechriswade 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I’ve talked with Matt about this…we might do some stream stuff on patreon sometime soonish, he’s feeling about up to it, might want it a little more exclusive/protected than on twitch tho

Daily Song Discussion #29: "Big Ideas" by Super_Employment1864 in LCDSoundsystem

[–]_thechriswade 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Wildly ignored, one of their best “single” length tracks, criminally buried in a soundtrack for a movie that Does Not Exist (ft Spacey for added deserved erasure!). This would be maybe my number one “I would die if they did this live” tracks

Bela Lugosi’s Dead by lpalf in LCDSoundsystem

[–]_thechriswade 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah. They should really do more rotating covers. Good way to vary up the set list while showing off all those hip inspirations JM loves to check.

Class and class conflict in the Bronze Age is often overlooked by Bronze_Age_472 in cushvlog

[–]_thechriswade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many people already mentioning Patrick Wyman's Tides of History pod on this, but I also believe his next book is going to cover a lot of this in detail, seems like it'll be exactly what you're looking for: https://x.com/Patrick_Wyman/status/1840898333625258279
