[Yes I am back with a short one, recorded with my new Windows Mobile Smart phone the HTC Touch Pro. Which I might do more often, I just described my phone and ranted about my crappy computer and issues with my new firewire audio gear. Also mentioned posting my Qik videos, some of which I will post later.

I’m rethinking the show, I’ll be back, overall I am just not happy with my current equipment or the flow of the show, I’ve got some new ideas but it means investing in a new portable digital recorder and some other things, soon as I figure that out I will return.

Imagine if you will, you are playing podcast catch up on a show you should have been listening to anyway, and on that show, you hear a plug for you plugging another show. This happened, what you will hear in this episode, is Jeffrey Bridges from Pendant Productions playing a clip of me talking about Umket Industries Presents: The Dixie Stenberg and Brassy Battalion the weirdness of Podcasting, then I play a promo for The Kingery. I also brought up the fact that Jeffery told me that he’s going to plug my show again on Sunday, whoa. Anyway, back to my Xbox 360 I guess.

We Three Kings – Daniel K. Miller
Will You Come Home To Me This Christmas – Blues City Blues Band

On this episode I talk about where I have been and why I haven’t really been able to keep up a normal schedule. Testing a few things and making some changes. This was actually recorded last week, so it’s a bit behind, but I ran out of time, because I kept rerecording parts of it, I still feel like it is unfinished, and a little sloppy. I may even have missed a few links below.

Looks like I am a week and a day late getting this posted, sorry about that, cable went dead last night.

I’m going to try again for a weekly schedule, I was going to record today, but I forgot I had to re-download Propaganda, which requires that I be sent a new download link, and apparently right now my email server is acting up, ugh, anyway, big changes to come, a more set format and whatnot to come.
