Check out podcast #19.

I found this in a directory that I was backing up.  It was apparently recorded it back in April…of 2007.  Just to amuse myself I didn’t listen to it but it seems to have some John Coltrane, John Zorn, and a piece on the Bazantar.

This may suck, but since I forgot all about this one it’s like I get to listen to it with complete innocence. 

This short podcast of James Bond music was recorded a month or so ago and I’m just now remembering to post it.  The first couple of songs are pretty well known (at least within my circle of peeps) but it all flows well.  It leans heavily on the band Sex Mob but I think that’s a good thing.

Enjoy Quickie #11. 

I recorded the latest edition of my periodic podcast about a week and a half ago. There isn’t a unifying theme other than simple good music. There’s some Lou Reed, David Bowie, and a couple of indie/roots/americana-ish tunes that close out the 45 minutes or so.

Here’s the first, and probably only Christmas podcast for this holiday season. While I’ve totally been in the holiday spirit I haven’t really been jamming out the holiday tunes. The snow over the weekend gave that a jump start.

Porter sits in for the first third singing carols and giving his Christmas list.

Speaking of Porter, he got to play in the snow Sunday for what is probably the first time. Many pics: Snow Angel, proud snowman maker, a close up of the snowman, digging for a snowball, a big smile, and he even asked to help clean off the car.

Enjoy!

Recorded quietly and quickly Wednesday night, featuring 6 or 7 ska tunes (including 1 Christmas ska number), enjoy Note To Self #16.

I almost forgot to post this newish podcast.

The tunes are probably in a guilty pleasure sort of vein, the second half of it for sure.

Enjoy guiltily.  

Check out this new, double stuffed podcast.

It features the Portishead song ’Wandering Star’ and the Sonic Youth song ‘Kool Thing’ performed by a couple of folks talked about in the first SXSW posting (Kid Beyond and Tub Ring).

Dig it hard.

I had a few songs left over from Monday nights Note To Self and recorded this short one at the same time. The songs are along the same vein.

I’d comment more, but I just saw that Mallrats is on Starz only to be followed by Dazed & Confused. If Mike and Don were here it’d be just like old times.
Who am I kidding?  Every last one of you was subjected to that mini marathon during the 90′s.  Now I have a sudden craving for Steak N Shake.

Hot diggity dang! 

I got 1 podcast completed last night and a couple more partially done.  I was on a roll and have to say it was very satisfying.  I just finished listening to this one and am pretty pleased with it.  All the music is really mellow with songs from Spin Doctors, Joss Stone, Patrice Pike and others.  It’s a long one, about 45 minutes.

I hope you enjoy Note To Self #15.

This may be a bit sloppy (at least it feels that way, I haven’t listened to it) but while we were on the subject of Save Ferris I thought it would be fun to post another of their songs I’ve been playing in the car a lot. Here’s Father Christmas.

Enjoy

Hopefully there will be a couple of more Christmas podcasts before it’s all said and done, but here’s the first one in any case. It starts with the greatest holiday song ever (debate me), a few songs that are getting a lot of play this year, and a couple that aren’t quite Christmas, but more holiday season themed. It’s got some flaws, I did it rather quickly, but enjoy nonetheless.

Note To Self #14 (aka Christmas #1)

What? Another one so soon?

The rainy, chilly weather last night provided a moment of inspiration. The songs were on the hard drive, I had a scant amount of time while Jessie was asleep, Trish was at work, Porter was in bed, so I threw it together.

For best effect, listen to it at night.

I typically try to not repeat an artist in a podcast but this one is all Trey Anastasio and David Byrne.

Dig.
