A Lot Like Christmas

Nothing says "it's Christmas" quite like receiving your Seven Second Delay marathon premium that you ordered in March. I'm pretty used by this point to Seven Second Delay premiums entering your life under the cover of darkness like a trashed, adulterous spouse, if they come home at all.

The long-awaited and superlatively hysterical pay-off to Andy's ventriloquism act would in itself be worth the delay, but this whole premium is absolutely amazing. It's got both the Best of LCD book readings, audio commentary, the 2006 Rock, Paper, Scissors premium, animated (!) foreplay, 40 minutes of Andy and Ken at the record fair, marathon jokes, waterboarding and tasering footage, photo galleries of the Maxwells shows, and, I just discovered, some hidden and substantial content like the 2004 Rock, Paper, Scissors show. This thing is incredible. Thanks to Andy and Ken, Nick Bertozzi and John K, it may be the best premium WFMU has ever produced.

If I'm pleased by this, it's because I never would have guessed something this professional and exhaustive would have ever come out of Seven Second Delay. It's almost very sweet.

Nothing Rhymes With Ange

December 3, 2008: 7sd Variety Hour

Inspired by Dori Disaster's impromptu American Pie Remix, here is a episode recap to be sung to the abridged Madonna version.

Time for another show
First week of December
Almost a month is kind of awhile.
Ken and Andy give guests a chance
to show they have the skills like Grant's.
Though, Andy might pounce and make them hostile.

First, a guy Ange got a hold of.
"Jeff Somers, which book you most proud of?"
The Breckman Bump will bring you dough.
Ken does a recap, that's his role.
Move on to meet the four guest goal.
Dori Disaster and her ukulele show.

Now, it's time for Andy's lil' whim:
A comic who's less famous than him.
Adam Wade paid his dues
on Conan with coffee abuse.

Who is surprised these shows barely suck?
Had the Kahlua drink named after a schmuck?
These biweekly hours have stuck.
Well, at least, Maxwell's tried.

Time for the chorus!
Ange, Ange! Nothing rhymes with Ange.
Gramma decreed she should emcee.
Who'd disagree, Ange?
Ken and Andy, where would you be without Ange?
Wait a sec, I just came up with flange.
Something rhymes with Ange.

Here comes Irwin late sans excuse
Andy asks, "Which topic do you choose?"
"Flora's visual, but Scott we can play.
Stalling stole his tunes for a score."
Hey, where is the Andy/Irwin rapport?
Just how it goes on Seven Second Delay.

Some more Dori, she reigns supreme.
A show without knocking Nick's esteem.
Besides the cowboy poking,
don't fix what isn't broken.
When at Maxwell's, raise up a toast,
then just send your bill up to the host.
We all learned now who makes the most.
Tip your servers with pride.

Another chorus!
Ange, Ange! Something rhymes with Ange.
Gramma decreed she should emcee.
Who'd disagree, Ange?
Ken and Andy, where would you be without Ange?
Earlier, I had came up with flange.
Something rhymes with Ange.
