The purpose of this podcast is to potentially pad out your predisposed musical penchants. That is to say, here is some music that we know about that you probably don't- and we are here to share it. We give no guarantees that you will enjoy or even like any of the songs we have chosen to exhibit here, but we do hope that you may accidentally discover something you may not have otherwise. Six songs, briefly punctuated by brief exposition, await you below. Also we have provided links to the simplest information about the six groups we sample from- but we do not recommend you visit those links until you have had a chance to partake of the music.

Toy Dolls (british punk)

Midnight Brown (indie electronic)

Doctor Steel (mad scientist steampunk)

Zug Izland (detroit alternative rock)

Diskoteka Avariya (russian techno)

That Handsome Devil (alternative hip-hop)

Dudecast - From the Balcony Ought'9

A lot of important movies came out in 2009, but how many of them were actually good movies? Welcome to "From the Balcony", the movie deliberation segment of what we do here at the Dudecast. Joined by a special (and possibly impartial) guest, we wade through a master-list of movies released in the past year and determine which movies are worth seeing. And we mean that literally; we ain't film critics here, nor are we professionals, we are simply on a mission to isolate the movies that came out last year that you didn't see- but should have. We're calling our list: 2009 Movies for 2010. Documented here for your listening pleasure is the process we went through to come up with the list. So listen closely to the audio sweat and blood that we gave up to movie headhunt for you: our adoring public.

Editor's Note: The original incarnation of this podcast was a four-hour behemoth. I could only do so much to make a cohesive piece of audio, but there are certainly times we reference things that happened earlier in the recording that have since been cut. Although it pained me to trim it to such an extreme degree, I did so for the benefit of your attention spans- lest they be crushed under the weight of our full deliberations.
