CAMERON ESPOSITO live at the CINECAVE at LOST WEEKEND VIDEO!
Fri, August 30, 2013
TWO SHOWS: 8PM & 10PM
Cinecave at Lost Weekend Video, 1034 Valencia St
San Francisco, CA

Hip hop blogger and Pitchfork columnist Andrew Noz joins us with a couple of his all-time favorite hip hop tracks. His first recommendation is Pacific Coast Remix by DJ Quik (featuring Ludacris), a track devoted to sunny Los Angeles's dark side. He also suggests checking out the 1983 track Beat Bop by Rammellzee and K-Rob. It's a song from an era where the uptown and downtown communities mingled in a way that the rap world would rarely see again.

Weird Al Yankovic is the undisputed king of parody music. Inspired by the novelty songs he heard on broadcasts of The Dr. Demento Show, Yankovic began writing his own comedy songs for the accordion -- starting with a love song to his parents' car, entitled Belvedere Cruisin'.

He sat down with us in 2011, before his album Alpocalypse was released. He talks about his food parodies (think "Eat It"), his special talent for rapping, and having an unusually long and successful career for a parodist (or musician of any kind).

Weird Al just kicked off a nationwide summer tour. He's also just released a new children's book, My New Teacher and Me. You can find more information .

Geoff Nunberg is a professor at UC Berkeley, the resident linguist of Fresh Air, and the author of Ascent of the A-Word: Assholism, the First Sixty Years. He talks to us about his studies into the word "asshole," which began life as a bit of slang used by WWII servicemen and has come to envelop the concept of modern incivility.

We spoke in 2012. The book is now out in paperback.

Jesse explains what makes David Letterman such an especially gifted late night host in a world of very good late night hosts.

Live, from MaxFunCon, it's My Brother, My Brother and Me's show-closing spectacular! Well, okay, it's not live anymore. It was live on Sunday. Now ... now it's dead, we guess?

Ya'll come back now, ya here? Wait, please stay! Erin is back from Houston, Bryan nearly survived a weekend of food attacks, some real dumb stuff went down in a Chicago cab, and Swiffer "accidently" pissed off everyone with Rosie the Riveter the Mopper. Listen to Bryan be absolutely startled by a doorbell announcing Mr. Special Shorts himself - the pop-lific and mansome Louis Virtel, who you know from everything plus thebacklot.com. Bye, Felicia!
