Put This On is a blog and web series run by MetaFilter's Own Jesse Thorn about men's fashion. The project has been discussed here previously but the most recent episode of Season 2 is worth highlighting for the awesome and surprising song played over the credits.

AND I'M A PRODUCER OF THIS SEASON.
Well, contributing producer. But still!

Holy gravy, I've gone quite weak in the knees! * swoon *

I talk about Jordan Jesse Go so much that my spouse calls them my other boyfriends. I think he's just sore that I make him change out of cargo shorts into proper pants when we're going out.

I was namechecked during a recent episode of "Jordan, Jesse Go!" when they were discussing a promo for AskMetaFilter.com. Did I swoon a little bit? Yes, I swooned.

That was wonderful, thank you!
I loved the detail gone into in the interviews and am awarding double happy points for the use of 'jolly disposition' by the first, and 'cut a bit of a dash' for the last.
This BBC2 episode of Mastercrafts on the weaving industry is well worth a watch too, if you can get it.

Jesse Thorn looks so completely different than I had imagined from listening to his audio podcasts that I am _positive_ that the host of this show must be an expertly lipsyncing actor.

One of the things about Jesse that's interesting is that he grew up in a very rough neighborhood outside of LA, and was a minority student, but all his musical and cultural influences were from this neighborhood, meaning he looks nothing like people expect when he talks about what he enjoys or what cultural touchstones he brings in.

Before I saw pictures, for some reason I thought that Jesse looked like Simon Grim.

Wasn't his major in Rap and R&B or something like that? It is kind of amusing that he's a bow-tie wearing NPR International Radio host and podcaster while being almost comically knowledgeable about gangster rap, but it makes a lot more sense when you realise where he grew up. I think it was a ghetto neighbourhood in SF though, jscott, not LA.

You're right, corrected - I should have looked that up. I've been listening to Mark Maron's podcast, as well as Jesse's, and everyone's comments and worlds are mixed up. Jesse does currently live in LA, though.
Side thing: When Jesse Thorn renamed the show to Bullseye, he released the whole of The Sound of Young America to a creative commons-licensed torrent. So, I added it to archive.org.
