I want to see the prom themed live shows When Griffin came up with it initially as Twenty-Rendezvous: Good Evening I genuinely laughed out loud a d I'm still not quite sure why. Just really tickled me.

If your music is being used in a commercial product without your permission or knowledge, you should probably make some sort of claim against them.

I released it all CCBY so I retain no legal claims to it and all use is legal as long as it's done with attribution, which they did. It's a cool way to get music out to people in a world supersaturated with content, in my mind. And it means I get fun surprises like this when it pops up in things I think are cool. Granted this is probably the coolest/highest profile thing to use it so far.

hah yeah I assume if the mcelroys were stealing music they would not include a prominent link to the artist in the show notes

Huh, I just assumed that there would at least be some courtesy correspondence with the artist in those cases. e: I'm tragically behind on TAZ, would you mind linking to the piece they used?

Also managed to make it on to the Everhood soundtrack last year and into an indie move called "M.O.M. Mothers of Monsters", which is a hell of a far cry cooler than what I ever imagined accomplishing when I started making this stuff years ago.

Hell yeah buddy, nice work! Is the track at the end of episode 22 one of yours? I don’t see it on your list there. I assumed it was one of Griffin’s, but frankly I assumed they were all Griffin’s because they fit the Ethersea setting so well. My favorite is Palaver.

I distinctly remember racing against the movie release to get my "head movie" version of Gunslinger crystalized in some form, afraid that after I saw the 2017 flick I'd never see it the same way again. Thankfully, I suppose, the movie turned out to be so entirely forgettable that my head-cast is still in there more or less untainted. Idris Elba was cool but that Mid-World was such a let down.

this isn't strictly about the mcelroys but there isn't a general Terrible MaxFun Podcast Ads thread so i might as well post it here, i was listening to a recent episode of the Flophouse and heard an ad for Fanti, the podcast exploring the negative aspects of the things we like, and also the positive aspects of gentrification and I couldn't help but be taken aback

I wish McElroy shows just advertised other McElroy shows. I think the only other max fun thing I listened to was Bubble. And that series....existed.

I think the problem is that you usually listen to a podcast for the personalities involved, and the premise is mostly there to provide structure. However, you can’t get a good sense of whether you’re interested in hearing someone talk for an hour based on a 30-second ad, so they have to sell it based on the premise. This is particularly bad for podcasts like Fanti, which seems to be a show where people talk about things they like but have complicated opinions about. That premise has no inherent appeal, so the ad sucks.

fanti ads are really bad but still buffering's are somehow worse, to me

was listening to the year-naming ep while cooking and decided to ride out the terrible maxfun ad instead of the hassle of washing hands/touching phone... then they played a rare second one. that was a kick in the dick lol I've somehow been spared whatever fanti is though, I think this is the first I've heard of it. god that show sounds awful

Entropic posted:the ads for Fanti and Minority Korner are literally unlistenable, just completely grating in a way that makes me reach for the skip button instantly is Dr Gameshow still a thing? I think that has Minority Korner beat for “quickest to get on my ‘must ignore’ list based on the ad read alone”. I don’t know anybody decided that two hosts doing “somewhere between the most twee version of ASMR and single-appearance supporting characters on an episode of Adventure Time” was a good aesthetic for a podcast, much less how a company like MaxFun went “yep, we gotta get these guys on our network!” It’s a loving excruciating listen.

Never heard of Fanti, but it's sounds like a great show to listen to if you're in Debate Club or if there's any two given leftists about to put their differences aside and you gotta come up with one Debbie Downer of a derail.

I think it's pretty safe to assume anybody in the "ubiquitous ads on podcasts/youtube" market is bad, or even an outright scam.
