Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Host ,'Why We Fight'


Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I really wish that CNN offered Anderson Cooper 360 and MSNB offered the full Countdown with Keith Olbermann instead of the highlights show the put up, but I guess you can't have everything. I also listen to Slate Explainer, the NYT Ethicist, The Onion Radio News, and the NBC Nightly News vodcast, as well as one or two other things I can't remember because they aren't on the ipod right now.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

I dropped that Alan Watts one pretty fast. I like and respect the guy, but his delivery was of the snooze.

Dear lord how do you guys possibly listen to all that? I mean, I'd like to, but - no.

I just went and looked up the PRI show Afropop Worldwide (which I love but haven't heard in 5 years - and it does podcast!) and discovered that the host's name is Georges Collinet. I had been envisioning "Josh Geline" (he has a strong accent.)

I listen to them mostly on my walk to work and anytime I'm travelling on buses. Some definitely get listened to more than others. The daily ones I cull fairly regualrly.

I generally listen to a few going to and from work and catch up on longer ones over the weekend if there's time. Some I just delete if they've gone overripe.

I should say that I hear about a lot of bands I end up liking from the two KEXP podcasts. KEXP also went above and beyond for SXSW, adding 10 30-min. live performances in 3 days, including the Stooges, Okkervil River, Beirut, and the Apples in Stereo.

Good to know; I might drop it after I give it a try, because I've heard good things about the guy but if I zone out while listening, what's the point?

Podcast Without Intercourse

What's this one?

flea, I listen to them on the bus/walk to and from work, and on my lunch break.

I just went and looked up the PRI show Afropop Worldwide

how funny! that just came up on metafilter today, and I made a note to subscribe to it when I got home.

I also like the shorter ones, because if I'm just walking to the store or something they're a quick burst of intelligence for the ambulation.
