Man oh man!

What a bugger getting that last podcast up! All cuz I mistakenly changed the name on one file (pasted when I shudda copied), and f&%#@8ed up the sync fucntion witth .mac. Anyway, it's done - and now I'm only moments from starting into #8. BTW, if you have any friends who might be interested, I could always use a few more listeners. Don't really need votes - I'm quite content being number 2108 on Podcast Alley's Top 100, but feedback always welcome.

P.S. The line up for the Apple Store opening now only went thru Yorkdale Mall, but outside and around it!! Watched the first few keeners get in and heard the cheers, but no way I was gonna wait in that line!

Yikes!!

I can't believe it! Finally reactivated my .Mac account, and presto! DicksnJanes is out there, ready for real live listeners. At least I think it is - it works for me, but I'm sure there are still glitches here and there. So let me know eh - the one thing I need now, more than anything else (okay, besides a new head), is a comment from a human who actually listened to one of these...

Mile End - Pulp - Trainspotting soundtrack
Can't Help Lovin Dat Man - Showboat soundtrack
3 Days in May - Blue Rodeo - O Canada

Upwards & Onwards!

Can't believe the progress that's being made! You wouldn't know it, as there are still no published disks&janes podcasts, but hey, I've learned how to cut out nasty bits using Audicity, have blogger ast least partially figured out, stole - I mean borrrowed - podcast info blurbs from Bob&AJ and Kobe Beef, got feedburner all ready to go - and now all that's missing - I think - is a site to host my mp3's! If all goes well, we'll be up before I leave for Japan May 30!

Dicks&Janes Podcast#4


Yup, number 4 - but still in practice mode. Off to a drunken start, and deteriorates from there. An attempt to reach out, explaining the origins of Dicks & Janes, what it's like to be born a boomer, some whining about how hard it is to be yourself no matter what your age, and a ridiculous range of music moving from cowboy to Indian.

Featured tunes from the Scarborough Dude's Collection:

Into The Night - Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks Soundtrack) (background only)
Mr. Jones- Talking Heads (Naked)
Visions of Johanna - Bob Dylan (Blonde on Blonde) (background only)
My Pony Won't Go - Gordon Lightfoot (Old Dan's Records)
Tumbling Tumbleweeds- Roy Rogers (Best of Roy Rogers)
Love To You - The Beatles (Revolver)
The Story of My Life - Marty Robbins (#1 Hits)
