Technical Glitches

Hello loyal listening friends and fellow music lovers,
It has been brought to my attention that due to some adjustments in my rss enclosure end tags that this may cause older versions of IPodder Lemon to duplicate downloading the same file. This is being corrected and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If in fact, you have downloaded the same file more than once, why don’t you ask a friend to listen and enjoy our little crazy world within the Getting a Leg Up universe? So I say off with the heads of the tech geeks until we need them again(and then re-connect their heads, of course).

Secondly, on NY Devil Show#39-I apologize for some slight static and the doubling up on last song-these are what make podcasts so endearing-the human element. In shogun tradition I have cut off the right index finger of my producer Pepe Lemoko. He has vowed never to make that mistake again.

Maybe I'm not Crazy After All?

Most of you that have listened to my podcast know that I have a love for poetry and have been reciting poems along with playing music. That’s why this headline intrigued me: Mixing Books and Booze-In Seattle, poetry is the new rock 'n' roll.

I've Said it Before and I'll Say it Again

Can’t tell you how much I appreciate and enjoy the fine music blogging and music recommendations of http://bangupjob.blogspot.com. Consistently intelligent content with excellent tips on the best in new power pop, and indie rock bands. It humbles the Brooklyn Bluesman to say this, but many of my NYC band tips come from this southern gentleman. One of my true behind the scenes partners for helping to bring quality music podcasting to you.

Taiphoon Takes Taiwan By Storm


We've been getting our share of heavy winds and now hard rains from the first typhoon of the season-Haitang. Fortunately, no major damage, paticularly around where I am. Will be posting typhoon influenced podcast later today. We can expect another shortage of produce and higher prices.

Follow the Money Trail-Careful Not to Get Wet

I can understand Mark Cuban( http://www.blogmaverick.com/) having an opinion, and after all he’s at least a hundred million times smarter than me. What I can’t get is why he’s pissing so heavy on the podcasting parade? Is there some conflict with some business plan he has, that he’s not telling us about? The technology he helped develop is still around, but he walked away with a billion ducats and his company tanked. Last time I checked, the San Antonio Spurs are the world champions, while Mr. Cuban’s team are also-rans. There’s still the issue of the billions, hey Mark if you can throw a little more coin my way, not the miserly $.17/hour that you guesstimate, but lets say even $17/hour, and I’ll start podcasting how great the Mavericks are and how white your teeth are, etc.

Sideways-DVD

I watched Sideways last night. What a scream-an excellent movie from beginning to end. I think Alexander Payne did more with grade “B” character actors than he did with stars(Jack Nicholson and Matthew Broderick) in his last and first movies, even though they were good as well. The “B” actors in Sideways, name Paul Giamotti, Thomas Hayden Church, Virginia Madsen, and Stephanie Cho don’t distract you from the characters or the story. Nice to see Alexander is wandering away from native Nebraska as well. Paul G has such a great face, permanently sad, even when he’s smiling. His college actor buddy is such a total louse- great stuff.

Under the Microscope: #32

I was recently put under the microscope by Eric & Cohry of Vox Monitor. Two independent musicians that do a podcast critiquing/reviewing other podcasts. Other than finding out that my podcast rocked their world, I discovered that Eric is afraid of blue M&M's and stepping on cracks in the sidewalk; while Cohry is an autistic idiot savant that never took a lesson but plays the theramin even better than the guy in "Good Vibrations", by the Beach Boys. This podcast is dedicated and in response to them.

Don't Be so Smart that your Stupid!

Words of wisdom  from my wise grandmother no longer here in body, only in spirit. I mistakenly transferred an e-mail as a post the other day and it contained an mp3 file which caused me major grief and errors with this blog. Couldn’t delete, bla, blah, blah, finally it dawned on me to edit, it took over an hour for the edit to cycle through do the huge amount of data bits showing in the post. Then I simply selected and dumped it and hit post, and voila, everything is fixed again. Computers were designed by people who don’t know how to talk to people. We must tame these dumb digital beasts. Blogger support is great for the price-worthless, but site is free. My grandmother also told me never to look a gift horse in the mouth so I’ll quit while I’m ahead.

One of my old locally based music buddies is getting interested in podcasting-good for him.

Brainwashed Blind Cowards

My prayers and sympathies for the innocent victims of the London bomb attacks. This is obviously the deed of brainwashed fanatics who move amongst the shadows striking out at the innocent, to strike fear in the hearts of all. London congratulations on 2012 Olympics-beat them by living large and living free!

In a perfect world...

While Itunes 4.9 is not a perfect system, and maybe not fully accepted by the core podcasting community, one thing I’m excited about I the internationalization of podcasting. There are 3 Japan(ese) podcasts in the top 100 now. Guess what, I’m an American and speak a foreign language! Several for that matter. I’m looking forward to my listing and to my Chinese speaking friends getting in the pool. 很高興非英文的播客出來，歡迎大家加油！

Never Know who'll you'll meet on Skype

Just had a disturbing Skype call from some guy claiming to be a spiritual medium for Hunter Thompson. Calling from Kansas of all places. This is just the type of thing that the Homeland security people are supposed to keep from happening so we can sleep peacefully at night. Well, any how I got the poor wretch to calm down after promising him some Girl Scout cookies from my own personal stash. This seemed to settle him down some, but then he started ranting about foreign tourists ruining Las Vegas for the rest of the hard working Americans that can pick up conversations from the planet Saturn without wearing a hat or tin foil.

Can anyone help me. If he calls again what should I do.....

In Memory of Christopher Rose

Very sad to see, in my home town of Brooklyn, this young boy of 15 was murdered for his IPod. I don't know if it's the first time, all I know is it's a tragic waste of a young life. My heart and sympathies go out to the family of young Christopher.
