I Recommend!: TV On The Radio, 11/2 FreshAir Podcast

If you get NPR's Fresh Air podcast, last Friday's had a nice nug in the center. It is a seven minute piece discussing the big SERIES releases of 'Seinfeld', 'Twin Peaks' and 'My So-Called Life'. The treasure clip is hearing David Lynch inadvertently (but in all his charming sincerity) deem "Baywatch" culturally irrelevant, as he's got no clue what it is. Weirdly, I couldn't avoid accepting my gut welling up with seething-hatred upon hearing Jerry Seinfeld's voice. His wifey comes off so icky, association is a real bitch, Jerr. And you know he is part of the machine churning out her "nutritional" shit.
The direct link to that portion of the podcast is posted here. You may, however, prefer to listen to the entire thing. For a good twenty-one minutes Kevin Costner sucks his own junk and tries without success to justify 'Waterworld'.
