Jeff says that they got about 1/3 of the way through getting some songs tracked. Jeff explains that they set those songs aside and have started anew, but those 'older new' songs will probably end up on the record. Jeff mentions that they're starting with the rhythm section to get tracks together for everybody else to play on once everything gets completely safe. It was easier to manage a smaller group  to test out the new songs this way. 
-- Susie shows Lemmy to John & Glenn.
Be Not So Fearful (Bill Fay cover. John on bass. Glenn on drums)
-- Jeff jokes that that's all that they can play and wants to leave us wanting more. Susie thinks that his speech was horrible. Sammy requests a new song.

Reincarnation (Roger Miller cover. John on bass & backing vocals. Glenn in drums)

Well, that was an amazing surprise! I thought that Peter was going to be the surprise guest. I didn't even think that we'd have half of Wilco. This should be a shock for those who come here to read the recap before they check out the episode.

Yeah I read that Clarice isn't very good, though it's early in its run. Supposedly Hannibal is great so I think that might be the next show we watch. Is 86 Manhunter any good?? They essentially remade it with Hopkins in the early 00s right?

Manhunter is terrific! Michael Mann directed that and Brian Cox plays Hannibal Lecter. Yes, that was remade into Red Dragon (the name of the novel) which came out in 2002 with Anthony Hopkins. Actually, a year before that we finally got the Silence Of The Lambs sequel Hannibal which was without Jodie Foster and directed by Ridley Scott. Julianne Moore took over the role of Clarice. The only thing that I remember about Hannibal was a scene with Ray Liotta that almost made me pass out in the theater. 
 

My favorite Jonathan Demme film is Something Wild.

Have they stopped posting these shows to youtube?  Or are they in a different place?  The last entry on Susie's youtube page was from October.

 

Apologies if this has been asked and answered 10 pages ago!

Susie addressed this on an episode last week. I’m paraphrasing, but I believe the gist of it was that they were encountering audio issues when they were uploading the episodes to YouTube. I seem to think that YouTube was blocking the audio, but maybe there was another issue.
 

She also mentioned that she was going to try to upload them again. I noticed that there was an upload recently on the account and yes, it’s from October. YouTube be crazy!
