If anyone was keeping count, we’re on number four, and we’ve reached the point in the program where in I have stopped the editing. I did not edit any of my recording, other than trying to ensure that everything is approximately at the same level of volume. Listening to it with my volume bar dead center on the laptop give me a not-too-loud podcast that is doesn’t have too many volume jumps.
The content for this podcast is rather tame. I spend a little bit of time on my birthday next month, more time on things I hate to see in public, and I spill the beans on a super-secret project with a super-secret name that I won’t spill because I haven’t bought the domain name yet.
There is music in this podcast, but most likely You won’t like it. Good thing it’s my podcast, huh? The music also has nothing to do with the podcast, but I thought it’d be a good way to break up the podcast into parts. As always, I’m open to suggestions for what to include as music (must be podsafe, as always), and I’ll check it out.
Music Included
- Uma Floresta – If You’re Singing By Yourself
- Circle in a Square - Feels Like a Sunday
- Ocean Alexander – Pertinent not Penitent
All music downloaded from Pod Safe Audio, and so you are welcome to download them as well.
That’s all I have for you. No links or anything, because I didn’t talk about anything link-able. As always, I welcome comments, either here, or you can leave me a voice comment through Odeo.
Now, any bets on how long until the next podcast?

So, I present my second podcast, complete with music, and randomness up the ass. This podcast clocks in at just over 30 minutes, and it took me about two hours to go through and edit it and remove all the um’s and uh’s that I say when I loose my train of thought. Also, I didn’t realize I breathed very loud, and I tried to cut that out as well.
Randomness is the name of the game, and I cover a bad idea (as in, I’m not genius when it comes to Math), questions people think but never ask, and a retelling of how I annoy the guys in class with me. Also, the obligatory digression is included, and I even noted it when it happened.
I’m feeling a little iffy with the sound, I’m not sure if it’s too loud or not, because everyone’s systems are different. I would appreciate it if people would comment, and let me know how I did, and whether it should be louder or quieter.
Music Included
- Ocean Alexander – Mad World, from the album Belmont.
- Ocean Alexander – Intro to Psyche, from the album Belmont.
- Ocean Alexander – Kid Icarus, from the album This Island Life.
- Ocean Alexander – Drinking Heart, from the album Tricked Out.
- Podsafe Audio – where I found Ocean Alexander.
Other Links
- Naked photos of Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy (see, sometimes I will do the searching for you. Not that I wanted to see these.)
So, that’s what’s up for today. As always, you can leave me a comment through Odeo, and let me know how useless this whole endeavor is.
Also, I’ve received confirmation from You that he and I will be producing a podcast together as soon and we work out the semantics. Mostly, whether or not Skype will work with my crap dial-up. Look forward to a podcast all about sex coming soon. Should be interesting.
—”The Only Difference Between Matyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage,” A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out: Panic! At the Disco
I thought I’d take a stab at a morning post, if only to keep myself from going back to sleep. I’m so tired all the time, and since it’s spring break I get to arrive at work at 7:30, when I don’t have to work until 9am or later. Usually later.
Anyway, since I get here so early, I tend to go back to sleep on the couch, and pretend to not notice people coming in and out of the office. Good thing I normally have my head covered, to block out the light and the sound.
So this morning, I made sure to bring my laptop so that I could waste my time instead. Currently I’m surfing through podsafe music, so I think it’s safe to say I’ll probably throw something into the next podcast. I feel sorry though, because I’ll likely add things that I like, not that anyone else likes.
For example, I’ve run across a blue grass (what, you don’t like blue grass?) song that I absolutely love, and is just waiting for the right topic to make it’s way into a podcast. And at the moment, I’m listening to an Indie band named Ocean Alexander, who are decently good. After a few discussions with Matt Matt about music, I figured out that I’d probably like Indie music, since that’s where all my favorite main-stream bands seemed to start.
I can’t really do this without being at work. We only have dial-up at home, and it’s so slow for downloads. I don’t really mind if it takes awhile for a page to load, but I’m not waiting 20 minutes for a song. I feel for K, who downloaded the entire Panic At the Disco album from iTunes on dial-up. I think it took her three hours.
So, this is where my morning will be lost. Listening to free music, and thinking to myself, “hey, I like that… but K won’t.” It will be weird having music tastes that alter from her. But still, nothing will replace my Fall Out Boy… If only they had some free music listed on podsafe.
Yeah, so I keep finding new things. I’ll let you know if I think I come up with anything good.
—”We Are So Last Year,” If Only You Were Lonely: Hawthorne Heights
Ah, after a weekend of breaking promises left and right, I do finally present to you my very first podcast.
Warning: It’s rather crappy. I had a sore throat while recording it, so it’s rather raspy. Which I suppose is an improvement over being overly nasally, which is my natural range. I decided just to go forward with it, or I’d never get it done. Also, minimal edits, or again, it would never get done.The podcast is about 25–30 minutes long, wherein I ramble on about nothing. At the moment, I can hardly remember what I talked about. I think I made vague mentions to other podcasts, and probably school, but other than that, it’s a big blank.
When I get home tonight, I’ll try to listen to it again, and figure out what linkage I should be throwing up here.
As always, leave me a comment, either here or through Odeo, and it will probably help me figure out what I’ll be doing next time.
And yes, there will be a next time. Even if no one ever listens, I’ll still be here, rambling on about stuff no one wants to listen too.
- KnitCast PodCast
- Pointy Sticks PodCast
- Christopher got a shoutout, so it’s only fair he gets a link.
- Michael over at Binary Bonsai, and how I listen to his podcast even while I think it’s slightly boring.
- Fall Out Boy, and their MySpace page (I shutter that I had to link to MySpace just so people who have never heard them can download a song).
- Coming Soon: Concert photos taken by K.
Oh, and always, please please leave me a comment through Odeo. It’ll help me figure what’s coming next.
—”I’ve Got a Dark Alley and a Bad Idea That Says You Should Shut Your Mouth (Summer Song),” From Under the Cork Tree: Fall Out Boy
I have been fooling around with my microphone/headset for a few nights now, and I think I have gotten used to the way I sound when I listen to the playback. Although, I’m not very happy that it sounds like I talk through my nose, no matter how I try.
The problem I’m having, though, is what to talk about. I’ve started the first podcast five times, and each time it is different, and each time I think it’s the worst I’ve ever done.
So, I think I will leave it up to my few readers to what they want me to talk about. I would include an introduction, I think, saying a bit about myself, and maybe a story I think is funny, although it probably won’t be. Since I probably won’t get it done until next week, I’ll probably talk about this weekends concert (more about that later). I am looking to doing a 20 minute or so podcast.
Other than that, I have no idea. I’d like to talk about some of my poetry, and answer questions—sort of like an advice column, but with an unsympathetic edge.
Really, I’d like to hear what you want to hear about. No subject is off limits, and I’d really like to hear from you.
So, please, leave me a comment, drop me an email, or send me a voice message through Odeo. I look forward to hearing from each and everyone of you.
And yes I expect it. Is it too much to ask? Alright, if you can only answer one question, make it this one: Would you listen to it if I posted it?
