Stories From The Hiber-nation

My second episode of the new "The IDSL" show, from June 16, 2009.  I featured:"Alibi" from Troop of Echoes"Alibis" from Engine 11"aliensporebomb" from aliensporebomb"All Along" from The Oneironauts"All I Do" from Big B.I.Z.I've asked all the artists for their permission, and hopefully no one gets mad at me!Gee, this show is kinda fun!Theme: "140 Times" from RockOn.

 Part one, the first hour of last Sunday's live show.  I had some technical difficulties after the first hour, but this part came out really clear, with Callburner doing the recording, and a whole bunch of editing.Talked for a while about the swell deal I got at a nearby Rummage Sale: a Kodak Easy Share CX6200 and the original Kodak Easy Share printer dock, both in a box for $10.  Cool, huh?Music: Levar Thomas - "Ain't All Bad" and "Ain't All Bad Radio Mix."  Really like this tune, and it's got a really positive message.  I liked the way the two versions worked together, so I ended up editing them into one, long piece.  Hope he doesn't mind.  Thanks, Levar!Tried to talk to Jen from "Inside My Head" on the show, but couldn't get the audio on her end to work correctly.  This whole process, not Jen's fault, was what produced the escalating chaos later in the show.  Sometimes I think doing a call-in show is a mistake, once I got good on th
