The Abasement Basement

TAB13: Iambic Speedometer Part 2: Tuesday and Part of the Next Day

2007-04-26T06:11:00.000-07:00

Andy wraps up his two part (not so epic) episode in true Grindhouse style with even more wierdness than before. This half includes five more questions, a walk to get a scarf, why Niagara Falls is the suicide capital of the Northeast, what not checking your email for a week will get you, and wondering what Ellen Degeneres is doing for lunch next week. Oh, and Andy dies. Or does he? Music holds no answers but is provided by Poison the Well, As Cities Burn, Moneen, The Dear Hunter, Thrice, and The Receiving End of Sirens.

TAB12: The Break Is Over Part 1: "Iambic Speedometer"

2007-04-24T20:26:00.000-07:00

Andy returns from a two week hiatus in the first part of a two part series this week. In this half he discusses the movie "Grindhouse" (the somewhat obvious inspiration for the two part episode idea), the next book in The Abasement Basement book club, two rants about why the media sucks (one involving college students pretending to be bums), and some crap about Facebook. With music from The Blood Brothers, Bloc Party, Armor For Sleep, Explosions in the Sky, The Academy Is, and Secondhand Serande. All this and special distortion just for these
episodes. All this and more can be yours if the price is right.
