Hey, I’m on this week’s Sound Opinions, defending the honorable art of cartooning! I love the podcast and listen every week, so it was really fun to have them pick my phoned-in comments to run on the air.
Last week they made some offhand remark along the lines of “if your songs can’t make the cut for a cartoon, something’s wrong” during their review if the new My Morning Jacket record and I felt compelled to call in.
I’m surprised they ran it because I really rambled on. They wisely edited it down a bit. Two of the folks that I mentioned as comics/cartooning “crossovers” that they edited out were Archer Prewitt of the band The Sea and the Cake (who also does the hilarious Sof’ Boy comic) and Bob Dorough who did a lot of the music for Schoolhouse Rock including my favorite one music-wise, “Little Twelve Toes.”
I was for some reason incredibly nervous calling in, and therefore sound a bit like the teenage “I dropped your taco in the fryer, Mr. Simpson” kid from The Simpsons. My rant begins at about 55:45.

Hey,didn’t I introduce you to Sound Opinions? Good to see it “paid off”–even in those times when jim and Greg badmouth the art of cartooning…

@Craig – Yep, you did… and about the same time as that one of my local musician pals recommended them as well. I really enjoy the show, althoug (obviously) I sometimes have a quibble or two. It’s a fun show. PS – Nice avatar.
