A very “sexified” show tonight (almost coincidentally, actually – this wasn’t planned). And this one’s not for the kiddies, with some language and suggestive themes. Here’s what’s on the show tonight:

I get a “File not found message” when trying to download 176.
A fun show, Brian. I thought that mentioning your wife’s birthday was rather sweet. I thought that mentioning her age was… less wise.
The feed is fixed now, so you should be able to get the show in iTunes, and other podcast aggregators.
And Andrew, you’re probably right about mentioning Tina’s age. However, she’s not the type to get bent out of shape about it at all. I didn’t have to sleep on the couch last night, so I think I’m OK.
This episode definitely made me feel like Phil at the end of Groundhog day as I was so grateful that the incessant barrage of Britney Spears (albeit an excellent choice of covers) ended. Seriously though, as a standalone show, it was very good. Kinda kinky, too! Either too much spicy food or the approaching V-day must have prompted this one… 😉
Thanks for letting us know that the first few songs weren’t kidsafe.
I’m off to subscribe to Mostly Trivial!
Brian, thanks so much for playing my request for Lovage. The male vocals are done by Mike Patton from Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, and Fantomas.
Happy Birthday Tina!
More Cheesey goodness… The old episodes of Coverville where you can find more Richard Cheese are #24 (doing Garbage’s “Only Happy When It Rains”), #49 (doing Weezer’s “Buddy Holly”) and #129 (doing Snoop Dogg’s “Gin & Juice”).
The man really does cover all genres, doesn’t he?

Brian, maybe I can shed some light on the pronunciation of “Sade”.
You mentioned that on her first record, there was a note saying that her name is pronounced “Shar-day”, or something like this. Well, Sade is British, and her first release was probably British, so I’m guessing they were using British pronunication as their guide. A Brit would see “Shar-day” and pronounce it like “Shah-day”, because they soften their R’s. So this would give the desired result in Britain. (Also, Brits tend to broaden their A’s, so they would need a pronunciation guide that keeps them saying “shah” like the Shah of Iran, and not “sha” like “shag”.)
However, show “Shar-day” to Americans, and you end up with the whole country insisting that Sade rhymes with Bar-Kays!
Anyway, I love the show. Keep ’em coming!
