What's a MRA's favorite Pet Shop Boys album?

i'm all picturing Mark Hamill Joker coming by to pick him up and just be all "Guys, guys, I'm sorry, he's.. he's going through a phase. You know, kids. GODDAMMIT GEOFFREY GET IN THE JOKERMOBILE."

Bundaberg is easily my favorite.

Maybe Edgar doesn't feed Killian….BECAUSE KILLIAN IS JUST IN JIMMY'S HEAD.

I thought that too! It's kind of funny how he seems to fancy himself Pynchon.

….and the penny just dropped for me. Thanks!

Honestly, this one was a little more like equal parts Psycho Pass and Meow Meow Beenz to me.

One of them — I believe it's Steve Jay, but it could be Jim West — studied under John Cage before joining Weird Al's band.

With "Dog Eat Dog", I was just happy that he built a song around The Best Riff Ever Which Was Inexplicably Thrown Away At The Tail End Of "As She Was".

"Dare To Be Stupid" was my favorite Weird Al song growing up.

This is one of my favorite things about Al — he can be funny, but also really sad. (I find "King of Suede" sad, too — like he knows being the King of Suede isn't particularly great and that he's stuck there.)

YES. The tool-based percussion, and the super-fast patter part, I love that one. Hardware Store RULES.

and featuring Weena Mercator as the Frightened Woman.

Yeah — I think my favorite thing was how the sidekick/cohost thing was CLEARLY a bit because it was kinda hacky (but in a Vernon sorta way), and Ultra Rehearsed.

haha, I figured appetizer.

yeah, i kind of thought it was some sort of appetizer or something, given 'marie callendars?'

Like the stuffing of a couch?

I'd wondered about that, but my phone was across the room charging, so I didn't check.

Cool — thanks!

In that case, is there another sponsor ready to go, or would the episode just not be sponsored?
