Is this thing on?Comments Off

It looks like the Podcasting is working, then. I might have killed the other feeds while I was at it, but the world will quickly get over it. So, why bother with Podcasts? Well, it’s a way of encouraging people to listen to the stuff I’m enjoying at the moment, without having to go through the grubby business of buying CDs or searching for MP3s. Obviously, I’m a fan of CDs, so if you enjoy a track, I’d suggest buying the album. But that sort of nonsense seems to be going out of fashion.

I’ll add a new Podcast whenever I can be bothered, which might be every week or two. If you tell iTunes (or whatever) to subscribe to the feed, it’ll probably deliver a fresh-from-the-oven Podcast shortly after I’ve uploaded it. It’s both clever and dull.

In case this post actually does make it through to other feeds, click here for the Podcast.

Envelopes, Plus-tech, Built to Spill, Calla, Film School, My Computer, Sugarplum Fairy, NIN.

The first one just about worked, so let’s see what happens when I try adding another. Here’s another podcast.

This is what’s in it, but I’ve added “announcements” to it this time;
Envelopes - It is the law
Plus-tech Squeezebox - Fiddle-dee-dee
Built to Spill - Sidewalk
Calla - This better go as planned
Film School - P.S.
My Computer - Stumble
Sugarplum Fairy - Far away from man
