Funky Pants Radio Podcast Volume #3

Even cats wear funky pants, especially those that are Thanksgiving-themed. I hope I didn't let anyone down by not making a Thanksgiving themed podcast. Our relationship is so new and so I wouldn't want to jeopardize it by taking it too fast. I might have already moved too fast by introducing you to my funky-pants-turkey-suit-wearing-cat. Please forgive me. Here is the lineup for this week's podcast:

1) Colin Isler - Behind
2) Air - Cherry Blossom Girl
3) The Mother Hips - Time-Sick Son of a Grizzly Bear
4) Neil Young - After the Goldrush
5) Talib Kweli and Hi Tek - Move Somethin'
6) Malajube - Montreal -40C
7) Junior Kimbrough - Tramp
8) The Talking Heads - Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)
9) Feist - Inside and Out
10) Umphrey's McGee - In the Kitchen
11) The Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post
12) Metallica (acoustic) - Tuesday's Gone*

Welcome Aboard!

If you've ever started a new job, you usually spent the beginning of your first day meeting all of your new coworkers. At least one person will shake your hand, look into your eyes, and utter a heartfelt "Welcome aboard." "Not with these sea legs," is how I like to respond, followed by a brief moment of silence while I wait for the confusion to set in on my new coworker's face. I then take my leave by stepping away with short, wobbly steps.

Even if you have wimpy sea legs, you can always cover them up with some awesome funky pants.

Here is a brief summary of how to listen to the podcast:
1) Download and install software that can play podcasts. I suggest iTunes. For iTunes, click here.
2) Click the link on the right side of the screen that reads "Subscribe to Funky Pants Radio."
3) A new window will open with more information about the podcast. Click the button on the upper right that reads "Subscribe with iTunes."
4) A dialogue box will open asking you which application to use for the action. You will select iTunes, and then press OK.
5) iTunes will open and the podcast will begin to download. After it downloads, just click on the podcast and then press PLAY.

Just so you know, after you subscribe once, you never have to come back here, unless of course you want to or you want to view the track list for each podcast.

Don't forget to put on your funky pants!
