Adventures in Podcasting!

I had a snowday yesterday and threw together my very first podcast. It clocks in at 40 minutes and was my soundtrack to the ice storm that raged outside throughout the day. I'm still a newbie when it comes to this podcasting thing, so for now, you'll have to visit my .mac page to hear it.

So check it out. I hope you like it. I thought it was a pretty decent mix.

It contains: Peter Bjorn and John, Explosions in the Sky, Ween, Marissa Nadler, Howlin' Rain, Damien Jurado, and a few others...

Very Good Height Podcast Episode 1
Hope you like.

RIP

I loved Molly Ivins. I was deeply saddened to hear of her death. She was such a welcome voice, and my favorite thorn in the GWB's side. Although I never knew her personally, I feel like I did. Maybe because she reminds me of a much more articulate version of my grandmother, and my gradmother is one helluva firecracker. Let me tell ya.

RIP Molly. I, for one, will miss you dearly.
Here is the last piece of hers that I read. She was so wonderful.

We need more soliders like her. I realize that referring to a 65 year old woman as a solider is a stretch, but she has been sticking her neck out for longer than most of those that may reading this have been alive.

Molly always got me excited to try to add my voice to the opposition. So does this guy.
