12:33 – I would dispute this, but I don’t own the original LPs and, like I said, don’t have liner notes
19:07 – the bass reminds of both “Graceland” (the song) and “I Know What I Know”
24:36 – we’ve been making fun of Schmoe’s girlish tote bag for a while, which one of his sisters had given him as a present
29:51 – note that expert three-syllable pronunciation of “karaoke”
Show Notes:
Recorded Tuesday, April 19 2011 (9:00 PM – 11:30 PM) at Casa de Scott, Allen Park MI
“Mid-April marks the start of the 2011 tour, and how did we celebrate? By throwing a listening party for the new Roger Clyne CD! But don’t worry, we still talk about the Tampa concert and the exciting new changes to the setlist. (Special guests: Todd and Ron.)”
The show description originally began with “April 19 marked the start of the 2011 tour”. This is inaccurate; the tour began in Tampa on Saturday, April 16. April 19 was the release date of Unida Cantina as well as the date of the tour’s second stop, at Raleigh. What can I say, I wrote it after a long day of editing.
Get Unida Cantina from Roger (CD or vinyl), at Amazon (CD

30:14 – Chad Heckler’s Heckler Custom Guitars
33:13 – I was merely nodding toward Scott’s speakers; I didn’t expect the gesture would provoke such a reaction. And his speakers are quite good; he was just playing everything too loud for the room.
50:38 – told you the speakers were loud
53:41 – O.A.R.’s official site | O.A.R. on Wikipedia
1:01:34 – Scott is trying to play “Green & Dumb” out of his music library but keeps finding live versions
1:24:23 – as you can hear in the concert montage in Episode 144, they did perform “Boomerang Love” in Australia (but this was the same show where Jimmy had his accident, so I guess you can excuse his confusion)
1:26:37 – a time cut
1:27:41 – Jimmy changed this for the following concert, repeating that line twice just like he wanted
1:29:53 – the full song, we mean, since some of it had been performed last year during “Where the Boat Leaves From”
1:31:29 – especially since it sounded like a newer arrangement of “Son of a Sailor”, which I wouldn’t expect needs another arrangement
1:35:26 – more from The Blaze radio interview

17:01 – our 2009 Christmas wishlist
17:26 – my insistence in making fun of Schmoe had me taking a clip from the end of the recording and jamming it here, hence the difference in sound
18:02 – unfortunately I failed to record this concert — the only one I missed this year — and had to use SunLover‘s MP3s from Buffett News. Note: there was no pre-show interview this night, Jimmy and Mac played through what would’ve been the intermission, and apparently Jimmy’s cold was why he sang “Margaritaville” so badly.

38:49 – an inside joke. Schmoe completed the Detroit marathon (as almost seen here) on October 18; Mike ran the half-marathon, and we won’t let him forget it.
