I was shocked to hear Adam say that first record sold like 300k. Embarrassing.

Now I might actually listen to that podcast. Aukerman is hilarious but his taste in rock music sucks.

First hour of E1 was brutal; Scott Aukerman is so horribly unfunny here. The second hour, when they started talking about the band, was much better.

Thats my experience with their podcast. I havent listened to a lot of the REM eps but i always skipped to the part they talk about the band.

Is this your first time listening to any of their podcasts? That's a very common initial reaction (see here) but you warm up to it. I enjoyed the first hour more because the second one had those unspeakably shitty songs.

Ugh so are they all like this? I honestly wish they’d lose the comedy and just play it straight.

I love Scott

I have now listened to 5 episodes of the REM podcast and it has completely ruined my opinion of Scott Aukerman (though I didn't really have one before). He's rude, smug, dismissive, close-minded, full of bad ideas about how music works (any song that is an instrumental or isn't hooky and upbeat is "not a real song"), not very knowledgeable and not particularly funny. I don't know how Adam Scott puts up with how he's treated by this asshole.


True story: Back in 2001-2002, my roommate was banging Michael Showalter. He stayed with us for a week, and he was EXACTLY like Aukerman in this podcast. I never warmed to him, and Aukerman immediately reminded me of this. I’d be surprised if I come around to his schtick, rather than just put up with it because I like Adam Scott and love RHCP.

But Showalter is great though

You guys don't get the pod. Aukerman is shtick. You want some straight up pod where Scott and Adam talk earnestly about a shitty band (rhcp not rem)?
