Drinks with Tony update

2009-08-29T04:04:00.001-07:00

Where I'm being held, there is limited access to computers, so sorry for the delay.

The judge has extended my court date again. I'll let you know asap. It's kind of hard since I don't speak French....especially at meal time.

Thanks for the letters and I look forward to resuming broadcast and re-entering society (and the United States) an exonerated man.

long time cherrybleeds.com writer, robert guskind, died earlier this week. i'm pretty sure it was suicide since he told me a few months ago he felt it was the only way out. if you've been playing along at home you know i have a lot of suicide in my family and friends and take suicides with a bit of sarcasm, love, loss and fuck off-ness. it's ballsier to just live. in fact, even if i had no friends or family to rely on, to stay alive would spite my enemies and that's enough.

violent femmes - kiss off
the jam - precious

psa - youth arts month

2008-09-18T21:09:00.000-07:00

Today's show started one hour early with an intimate conversation with Irvine Welsh.

It went great, and my podcast barfed, so the only way to have experienced it was to be at the studio audience or listening on the radio.

Irvine's new book is CRIME and he's reading friday at Booksmith and Saturday @ edinburgh castle.

then from 4-6pm i had a total nick cave freakout since i'm interviewing him tomorrow and he's performing friday and saturday and i'm a teenage girl when it comes to mr. cave, so i'm going both nights.

next week my guest is Harmon Leon. check out www.drinkswithtony.com for all up to date info.

a bunch of these were live, bootleg, and regular recordings, etc.

June 30, 2007

2007-07-03T23:26:00.000-07:00

Mark Haskell Smith, author of "Salty" was guest for the entire show.

Mark was the first official Drinks with Tony guest over five years ago. "Salty" is his third novel.

Around five or so years ago, about six to eight months after I interviewed Chuck Palahniuk for the "Cherry Bleeds Podcast", b/c that's what it was called then...and I interviewed a couple of high profile German actors for Filmjunkie.com b/c that was a film festival 'zine then, before it became a festival for two years and way too much work for a money loss.....when I realized a labor of love is better than labor(s) of love when the $$ ain't comin' in....

Ok, back up, five years ago, a little longer, I was staying in Alameda, temporarily....that city is seven miles from San Francisco and it's where the San Francisco Bay Area plunks down all its red necks, I was bicycling through the Alameda/Oakland tunnel, having a panic attack b/c I hate tunnels and the traffic noise was truly fucking with my zen whatever, I was on my way to interview a first time novelist....Mark Haskell Smith. He wrote a book called "Moist" and I dug it and we met for drinks. While I was sucking exhaust from the rednecks traveling b/t Alameda and civilization, I came up with a concept and a name for a show, Drinks with Tony...and all interviews will be taped in a bar.

Boom. Five years later and Mr. Smith releases his third novel and comes on my now broadcast live radio show last Saturday. I was kind of emotional about it. It meant a lot to me. All the hard work that I've put into the show over the years, I sat across the studio from Mark and it was all worth it.

Click the 6/30 podcast for the full show.

Anyway, Mark Haskell Smith, 3rd novel, second appearance since his first appearance on Drinks with Tony over five years when the concept was in my brain and he was the first person I told that I was going to name the show Drinks with Tony.....even before telling my wife.

I'm taking some weeks off of Drinks with Tony to finish a couple of writing projects that have been brewing and stay tuned for a live Drinks with Tony taping and event that'll happen in September.

It's time to get to the next level.

June 14, 2007 - all about Johnny Suede

2007-06-17T21:47:00.000-07:00

guest:
Tom DiCillo, writer/director of:
'Johnny Suede'
'Living in Oblivion'
'Box of Moonlight'
'The Real Blonde'
'Double Whammy' &
the upcoming 'Delirious'

Backstory
When I was little Drinks, I was pretty depressed because women were breaking my heart and I was trying to start a punk band......I was so broke, my entertainment @ night was going to the library and reading.
Then, I heard there was a movie with Nick Cave in it called 'Johnny Suede'. I rented the movie and it was Brad Pitt's first film as a lead and it spoke to me. I actually was already dressing like him and he was trying to figure out girls and trying to get a band together.
In the film, he writes songs and all the lyrics are written in permanent marker on his walls.
After every book I read, I'd write the title on my walls in homage to 'Johnny Suede'.

I heard 'Johnny Suede' was actually started as a monologue by the director that he performed in New York. I've been DYING to meet the director for years and a huge fan of his work.

I saw his latest film, 'Delirious', and it's up there with 'Living in Oblivian' greatness.

We talked for a bit about 'Delirious' and why 'Double Whammy' bombed (he doesn't name names, but during the show I name them for you..

But, most of the interview is all about 'Johnny Suede'. So, if you're a fan like I am of that film, download the show b/c his segment goes for 1 hour and 40 minutes.

guests:
Miranda July (No One Belongs Here More Than You)
Andrea Portes (Hick)

"Hick" is the best book i've read so far this year. We're in June, so it might just be the best book of the year as far as I'm concerned. Buy this book. Not to play favorites, Miranda, your book is definitely in my top five, but it could be that I've read some of the stories when they came out...but for debut novelist, holy shit, Andrea hits it out of the park. I'm burning everything I've ever written and becoming an accountant.

2007-05-21T23:24:00.000-07:00

Guests:

Parker Posey
Hal Hartley
and local band Pebble Theory

what do you do when you meet one of your two favorite woman actresses of all time....the other being Catherine Keener (Catherine, there's a spot always reserved for you on the show).....you pretend that you're not a psycho fan, you suck it up, you pop a xanax, you look her right in the eyes and the very second you feel like you're going to spooge in your pants, you put your large shotgun microphone two inches from her glorious mouth to distract her from those embarrassing stains down below.

Parker is in Fay Grim, playing now and also available on DVD on tuesday. Fay Grim is the sequel to Henry Fool directed by Hal Hartley.

what do you do when you meet one of your favorite filmmakers of all time? you don't have to worry about it if he's in his 50's and you don't crave sucking on his bottom lip. actually this is my second interview with hartley, the first is on the drinks with tony website and was recorded before filming Fay Grim, www.drinkswithtony.com.

Will there be a Henry Fool III? Listen to the podcast to find out.

The New Yorker ripped Hartley a new one in their latest issue, giving Fay Grim the thumbs down. I think they just miss their filmmaker darling who left NYC for Berlin b/c it's too expensive to be an artist in such metropolitan areas. Hartley almost has me sold on moving to Berlin.

After the taped Posey and Hartley interviews, Pebble Theory drank most of my scotch in our green room and were ready to play 20 questions. Check them out this Saturday, May 26th @ Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco.

Playlist:

Autoclav 1.1 - Fault

Special Guest: Allen Shawn, author of "Wish I Could Be There".

Great interview with Allen Shawn, actually went a little over with the extra segments since he had so many important things to say regarding phobias and agoraphobia.

And, it was especially important for me since I suffer from the symptoms as well.

I'm really bummed I didn't grab a cd or two of his to play in between segments since he is a wonderful composer. If that's the only thing I missed in this last week of hellish deadlines, then it ain't too shabby.

December 2, 2006 - Dirk Dirksen Memorial Show

2006-12-03T23:40:00.000-08:00

Memories of Dirk

Archived interview of Dirksen when he was on Drinks with Tony in August 2006.

Family, friends, bands and fans paid their respects during the show.

Music played included The Contractions, The Symptoms, Los Microwaves, JFA, Naked Raygun, Ramones, DRI, Germs, UXA, Blondie, The Adolescents, White Trash Debutantes, Crime and more.

I never went to the FabMab since I was too young and I didn't know who Dirksen was when he came on my radio show with The Contractions and The Symptoms in August...he wasn't scheduled and I thought he was Kathy's dad or something....he completely punked me during the interview saying he was the janitor of the FabMab and sat on the couch in our old studio yelling from the background....pulling my leg very hard while i asked him to talk about himself. I played snippets of that interview throughout the Memorial show.

Big thanks to DJ Pixie for co-hosting the show with me.

It was a rough show to put together since my grandfather died a few days before the show....so it was a week full of emotion, conflicting emotions.

I got to spend two hours with Dirk during his life. It felt like 90 minutes.

Dirk, thanks for making punk rock happen in San Francisco and inspiring so many people.

Onward and Upward!

Peaches (Teaches of Peaches, Impeach My Bush)

tonite's guest was Mark Z. Danielewski who wrote "House of Leaves" and just released "Only Revolutions".

Danielewski is such a great writer I'm not even worthy of squeezing a pimple on his ass. After reading "House of Leaves" I experienced Immaculate Ejaculation, it's just that brilliant.

The interview will be archived at www.drinkswithtony.com and of course the whole show is available on the pirate cat radio website for download until the end of the week.

*Poe is Danielewski's sister and she released a concept album called "Haunted" based on Danielewski's book "House of Leaves". Danielewski appears on the release reading as well as their dead father's voice after he and his sister found old audio recordings of him. It's haunting and romantic at the same time, much like the book.
