Listen: TMI by Benjamen Walker
Listen. Seriously, listen. This is the most fantastic radio show-podcast about the internet you will ever find.
No, that’s not correct. TMI is the best show that people who like shows about the internet and happen to be in the middle files of the pre-internet and post-web filing cabinet database. Our generation X(xx).
We’re not middle-aged. We don’t have kids. We’re careerily flexible. We have iphones and tumblrs and twitters and flickrs and etsys and facebookies and yelps and a lot of friends who are sometimes decades younger. We’re just trying to make sense of this thing that makes no sense because it is the greatest thing that has happened in our lives.
Listening to this show, in my obsessive manner, has been even more surreal because I went to high school with Ben. We were pretty close buddies. We did the drama fag thing at Thomas Jefferson High School. We smoked weed and cigarettes and drank beer and listened to music and drove around a lot. When I was a freshman, Ben tried to bust me out of Bethesda Mental Hospital in Denver back in 1989.
I’m so fucking proud of him. TMI is like TAL, but more interwebby, more personal and with more music behind the interviews. Artfags, you will love it. Listen, goddamit. Listen.
Go Ben!
