Ten Story Relapse has been a indie favorite of mine for a long time. They just put this video on Youtube. It’s a great song with a great message from their newest album, Antidisestablishmentarianism. Yeah…that’s a mouth full. Enjoy.
Face the Music 33 - Vague World
It’s a tribute to all things vague and undefined…to all the times you find yourself saying “stuff” and “thingy” when what you really mean is “whatchamacallit” and “doohickey”. So sit back and enjoy the yada yada yada.

Face the Music 30 - War
I said in the podcast that I had taken a 6 month break. I just added it up and the break has been closer to 9 months. Well, after 9 months I’m back! During my break I’ve had many things going on in my life and I’ve listened to a lot music.
This episode is about war. I started to plan this episode before I took the break and decided that I would pick it up again. The songs are only loosely related to war. All three songs are outstanding tracks.
Also on this episode, I introduce you to a special guess that may become a permanent part of the podcast. It was fun to record this episode. I hope to bring you many more on a more regular basis.

Film at 11:00 (actually make that 6:15)
It was entertaining to see myself on the news tonight. I was interviewed for a piece on podcasting over the weekend.
Just a couple of small corrections: It’s not that I have always wanted to be a DJ; maybe I did once. But I guarantee…podcasting is a lot more fun than being a DJ, especially in this modern age of canned radio.
Point two: you don’t need an iPod to listen to podcasts. Almost half the people that listen to podcasts, listen from their computers. Some listen from OTHER mp3 players.
Other than those small points…thanks for the coverage John Hollenhorst. I think you hit the mark.
