High Brow/Low Brow 001

It’s pilot three of three! Now that we’re teetering on the edge of uncertainty, with only a couple Super Special books left before we need to find something new to podcast about, we’ve got one last podcast concept for you to check out.

This week, Tanner and Bolphunga the Unrelenting are trying something a little different. We’re calling it High Brow/Low Brow and it’s an exercise in drawing suppositional insights from a text or body of work in an effort to elevate that work to a level of discourse fitting the standards of academia. Which is to say that we talk about dumb stuff like comic books in a smart way. Oh, and vice versa.

This week, we’ve prepared two selections:

“The Waste Land” by T. S. Eliot
The first three trade paperback collections of Geoff Johns’ run on the Green Lantern comics, including:
Green Lantern: Rebirth
Green Lantern, Vol. 1: No Fear
Green Lantern Corps: Recharge

We hope you enjoy! We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled nonsense next week.

Music Credits:

“Sonatina No. 1 in C Major - I. Allegro” by Aaron Dunn
“Song Groove (Abortion Papers)” by Michael Jackson
“The Waste Land” (Audio Recording) by T.S. Eliot

The theme song for High Brow/Low Brow is “Grizzly Bear Sharktopus” by Holy Coast (with some lyrical accompaniment from Tanner Greenring).

BSCSC 012 - Here Come the Bridesmaids!

Put a dollar in your Pete jars, folks, because the boys are talking about the Pete Lerangis Super Special so nice ... they read it twice! That’s right, your good buddies Weed Lord and Half Pipe are back for a second hit from the gravity bong that is Super Special #12, "Here Come the Bridesmaids!” and this time they’re not leaving until Dawn’s dad really makes it official by kissing Carol for a second time. And hold onto your wedding veils because there’s a brand-new, extremely cool catchphrase in this one, as well as a surprising amount of Rusted Root.

“Teenage Freakout,” by Mules

“Air on G String,” by Adigold

“Dark Cybernetic World,” by AllenGrey

“Jingle Bells (Dark Piano Version),” by Myuu

“Tanzen,” by KieLoBoy

“Sadness,” by AudioRose

“Battle Area,” by Fifty Vinc

Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, and to Superbrat for the outro music.

BSCC Live: Super Mystery 001: Baby-Sitters Haunted House

Live at Littlefield in Brooklyn, NY, the boys dig deep into one of the greatest mysteries of all time: What the heck is going on with ghostwriter Jeanne Betancourt and her twisted blood orgies? It may just be part of her writing process for these Super Mysteries, in which case it worked! Plenty of spooky ghosts, scary vampires, and unsavory teenage boys in this one, not to mention a whole mess of parades, because Stoneybrook has finally gone fully off the deep end. This is the first (and therefore, currently, best) BSCC live show! Avoid this one if you're scandalized by wine crimes.

“Inspirational Dreams,” by StereoNuts

“You Gotta Have Theremin and Ukulele,” by Squidlord

“Emotional Documentary Background,” by musicdream

“Lovely Memories Ident,” by CreativeMedias_net

“Kantai Collection: KanColle Theme,” by Akino from bless4

An extra special thanks to KJ from The Oddysy for playing our theme song!
