My super bowl party is of the most unusual nature. No salty foods, beer, pizza, wings, people or tvs are present. I do have a radio but it is set to not let me know what is going on in the wolrd of sports. I win!

Love your show but have turned it off after you briefly discussed the Super B. I turn to you to get away from such crap.It is just too disgusting and boring to hear about it and I do not want to be annoyed by any more reference to it.Football marketing lingo and rituals are profoundly crass, stupid and probably corrupt...Shall now stop complaining. Will listen next week.

Hmm...my only mention of Superbowl XLII was to give an alternative to it and to begin a discussion among listeners about how they deal with it's enormity in our culture - along those lines, I appreciate your feedback...it's all grist for the mill.

'til next week -b.

...and they time travel with your cat?

To my knowledge, Ryan is the only cat (of the jazz nature) I know who has actually done it. It's not really the type of thing one discusses freely, you know, so there could have been other occasions.

hi Bethany.i do agree w mary jane,but-as w many other things that annoy me about american"culture"-much of the world culture,from what i know- i'd be terribly depressed if i wasn't able to laugh at it(though sometimes provocatively)...that said-i'v never watched a superbowl.I have had 1or 2 SB parties w no TV on,though...and,if i had a bigger appartment now i'd have a lingerie party,or costume bash-maybe TV-no sound-another TV in another room w tapes of Soultrain from the 70s' on-(no sound)-good music-sushi,red wine,sake,ouzo,honey-sweetened dairy-free hot chocolate w sambuca,frangelico,ameretto,or brandy...lots of chocolate & olives & walnuts & fruit-& games,dancing,and,maybe"super bowls"(nudge,nudge!)...alas-not this year.

I've never watched the Superbowl. However turning off a video I found the preparations for it going out on British TV, so I half watched for a few minutes while clearing up my ironing. There was some terribly smug pompous promo video from the Patriots about teamwork and why they were going to win following a commentator about their perfect season and how they were the favourites, so I'm made up about the result. Of course, if I knew anything at all about the Giants I probably wouldn't like them either.

Just listening to The Sinking of The Titanic - sounds a bit as though it's recorded through a bowl of cornflakes, but presumably that's the marker that there's some turntablism going on!

Great show as ever - marker to self, must not stay at work to listen all the way through today - there's domestic labour to be done!

What?? The Stuporbowl is still around??
Seriously, that dumb show represents all that sucks about America: brain-dead Homer Simpsons snacking on deep-fried crap, advertisements for crappy domestic pisswater pilsners that put real beer to shame, and a retarded game where many retarded gorillas fight over a stupid pointy ball that doesn't bounce right. Blechh...
