Euge,

This Ira Glass song is the business, brother. I got hip to it through my man Kevin Church here in Boston. I’m thinking there should be a music video with some relevant imagery to go with the flow you laid down on Mr. Glass. Would this be something you’d let someone get creative with? One of the up and coming youngblood filmakers here in Boston would be able to put together a tasteful and prop drop of visual to match the lyrics. Check him out out at http://iloveqp.com In the meantime, be easy and stay blessed.

I’m trying to work it into my vocabulary. Great stuff sir.

Brilliant!
Now we need a hip-hop ode to Carl Kasell!!!
From his morning anchor work on NPR….to his prized voice on players’ answering machines (for “Wait Wait — Don’t Tell Me!”)….that would be fierce!

14. pitu - December 17, 2009

Fab!! I am going to say this all the time – When I do my thing, I’m so Ira Glass.. rofl

15. Brittany - December 17, 2009

Ira Glass is my hero. The perfect mix of curiosity, class & intelligent sex appeal. This song is SO Ira Glass.

16. A. WarRock - December 17, 2009

Wow, thanks to PRI for the retweet. Thanks to everyone here who’s giving more love to the song.

I’m working with a DJ on an album for 2010, and there’s a chance he might be able to get me an appropriate beat for this one. Maybe we can have a professionally mastered version of “Ira Glass” sometime in the near future.

17. Volkai - December 17, 2009

This is song right here is a prime example of why I like rap despite hating just about every rap song I’ve heard on the radio.

Superb.

18. Volkai - December 17, 2009

Rap? Hip-hop? Eh… whichever. This track kicks ass, that’s what matters.

19. ZOMGITSBRIAN - December 17, 2009

LAWLZ. Love it.

20. yining - December 19, 2009

Yeah, and if I have my way I’ll get her to tell him to get you on the show and do a live performance. That’d be so Ira Glass, don’t you think?
