Well, it took a couple of months, but Bloor has finally put the finishing touches on the latest "Staff Inflection" edition of the Hip-D PodBlast, which you can stream at this link:

He actually interviews several Obnish (including me, HOORAY FOR ME!!!), so if you've ever wondered what us weirdos sound like, give it a listen. Here's the link to the playlist, including blurbs from several Hip-D staffers:

No interest in this???

Shit, how the hell did I miss this? Next up, then.

I started to stream it, but it kept stuttering, pausing, etc. I heard Rick Flair, little else.

I will try again.

just listened this morning.
pretty good show.
why don't any of you southern boys have an accent? i could hear a little twang in your voice bob.
would love to have heard more of the yail/opa interview. any chance of uploading just that as a bonus track?
it's almost like opa just dropped the microphone and ran away.

Twang? Really??? Aw, shucks!

I can totally picture OPA! doing that.

I wrote a blurb and you clearly lost it.

I didn't receive it via e-mail, but Bloor must have, because he actually reads yours on the PodBlast.

Bob's elongated tongue masks his.

Bloor is the Southern Norman Mailer (i.e. from Coweta County, talks like he's from Philly)

I have the flat tones of a man from nowhere.

Derris, on the other hand, gots dat twang.

I think you all got a bit of the accent; Derris most seriously, followed by Gar and Bloor. I definitely noticed it. You can hear it in Bob's voice a bit as well.

I've got more of a swollen Quincy Carter yak tongue than an elongated Gene Simmons slit splicer.

Sorry if this podcast sucks...

I do think the part where I go apeshit (not a bit by the way) is pretty funny.

Oh man this part is fucking killing me.

nice, a "casey kasem moment"...haha.

as usual, i like the chatter more than the music itself. except for "web in front", because that song rules.

I love it when Bloor refuses to read Jasmine's blurb, and she calls him a "fucking jerk." CLASSIC!

dude, this OPA interview is fucking classic.

i'm with ayah, i want more

yeah, ive isolated that audio for future use....

dl'ing now

The "Mr. Pink" bit is GOLD, JERRY, GOLD!!!

So, was OPA! quitting Hip-D, or just the PodBlast?

just the podblast. he just wanted to back out of any involvement...

Assuredly, this will prove as fugacious as OPA!'s disavowal of the board. He will return to the podblast. Guaranteed.

Allow three weeks for delivery. (Coincidentally, the same length that it takes for OPA! to receive his mail-out HIV test results.)

Get the facts straight. I simply suggested that you not include my interview if you couldn't get the Aislers Set song to work. Knowing that you introduce the Aislers Set during my interview, I thought it'd be easier to just delete the whole interview than edit it last minute. But once again, you were probably looking in the mirror when you read my PM.

see now I gotta hear this.

lololololololol....

Yeah, that was a pretty great line.
