Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan on Marc Maron's "WTF"

November 23rd, 2015 at 11:53 am by Gerard

Perhaps having tired of interviewing such nobodies as Lorne Michaels, CM Punk, Steve Albini, Tom Arnold, Matt Sweeney, The Amazing Jonathan and Barack Obama (sadly, not on the same episode), Marc Maron today welcomes Yo La Tengo's Ira Kaplan to the garage . Bob Odenkirk and David Cross stop by as well, though perhaps they were taped on different days. I have no idea how Marc feels about people hanging out in his driveway waiting to talk, but I don't think I'd like it one bit.

Julian Plenti On Julian Plenti Imposters

August 21st, 2009 at 1:33 pm

Doing a little PSA work for that creep that is pretending to be JP on Facebook. From JulianPlenti.com:

Hello,

A friend of mine just told me he was a little creeped-out by a Facebook impostor.

Just so you all know, THIS is my ONLY web presence. I don't twit, facebook, or myspace. (yet)

I always thought impostors were funny, but maybe they're not.

If somebody got a domain and wants to do an homage, that's ok. But someone perpetrating like they're Plenti, that's a no-go.

So stay alert to the phony mojo.

And don't go mailing these monkeys any secrets or brownies.

JP

Your business card is CRAP!
