The Incomparable Podcast, number 70, December 2011.

Welcome back to The Incomparable Podcast.

I'm Glenn Fleischman, and I'm slipping into the blue suede shoes of Jason Snell this week

to host our first geeky nerdy music episode.

Back in September 2010, we did talk about soundtracks. This was in episode four. But this is the first time we're talking about bands, songs, earworms, our favorite music, that kind of thing. And there's a lot to talk about. So this will likely be the first of several over the next millennia podcast we do on the subject of music.

We certainly can't fit everything in.

There's an explosion, a nerd stravaganza of music design for those of you who are listening to this podcast.

So joining me tonight is our regular host, subjected to my mockery.

This time, Jason Snell. I miss the regular host. What happened to him? What's wrong? Is he in rehab again?

No, he's been locked into a closet. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for hosting.

Thank you. Also joining us is Lex Friedman, who is a friend of the podcast last on in episode 41, so long ago, on Back to the Future.

And he was also a silent guest for episode 22.

Stephen Fry does not appear, which we hear at the podcast call The Podcast That Must Never Be Repeated.

Well, I hope to continue that trend of making unrepeatable podcasts with you.

It's also called Glenn's Folly, but that's informal.

There are so many podcasts that are called Glenn's Folly.

That's pretty much most of the time that's edited out of podcasts is in fact called that, I believe.

That's Jason's Folly, because he's doing the editing.

And finally, we've got Scott McNulty.

Oh, Scott.

Scott.

Oh, Glenn.
