Ice Cold Cash

Ice Cold Cash

A number of months ago Aaron had the opportunity to work on the Food Network trivia show Ice Cold Cash.

His job was to research and write “difficult” questions for competitors on the show. Needless to say he ended up learning far more about fermented shark meat than any person rightfully should.

Now, finally, Ice Cold Cash is set to make its official debut.

The first episode, “Brotherly Love,” is set to debut on Friday. Here’s its upcoming airing schedule:

  • Friday, February 10, 2012 4:30 p.m. EST
  • Friday, February 10, 2012 9:30 p.m. EST
  • Saturday, February 11, 2012 12:30 a.m. EST

The Imaginary Shins-Decemberists-Sleater-Kinney Portlandia Supergroup

The members of Echo Echo

The members of Echo Echo

UPDATE: Because Spinner is RIP, we’ve unearthed this story here.

There’s a supergroup called Echo Echo featuring members of The Shins, The Decemberists, and Sleater-Kinney that kinda exists, but only in the fake world of the indie comedy show Portlandia.

Aaron was interviewing The Shins’ main main James Mercer about his band’s forthcoming album Port Of Morrow and he talked about being part of the fake Portlandia band.

You can read what Mercer said by heading over to Spinner and clicking here.

How The Wire Helped Me Finally Understand Ghostface Killah

The Wire meets The Wu

The Wire meets The Wu

The Wire is a brilliant television program. Ghostface Killah is a brilliant rapper. But both of them are kind of difficult to understand — their respective art forms are filled with codified language, insider street slang that’s virtually impenetrable.

At least, that’s how Aaron felt about the music of the Ghostman until he watched all five seasons of The Wire. Then it all made sense. The criminals of the show provided him his eureka moment to understanding the Wu Tang Clan member’s music.

Wanting to share this revelation with the world, Aaron wrote How The Wire Helped Me Finally Understand Ghostface Killah for AUX TV. You can read the story by clicking here.
