Item 53 – Sleepy boos land

Sunday, June 10th, 2012

Jen’s asleep. So it’s a solo show.

More complaints about the neighbors.

Nathan got us a mention on The Morning Stream podcast!

I tried finding someone to join in via Skype. It didn’t work.

DiC(k)!

It’s been windy. And allergy-y.

I played a song by Tycho.

I put out a call on Twitter to see if anyone wanted to join the show via Skype. No one did. Then, I talked a little about guitar stuff.

Item 28 – Super fly ho

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

GeminiDragon28We promised you one podcast per month. Here it is for June. Consider your ears blessed. I don’t really wanna put together show notes right now. Which, if you think about it really, who cares anyway? Most people just download the episodes, listen once and then delete ‘em. And honestly if they can’t take the time to appreciate the effort that goes into writing a quality show summary then why should I even bother? Podcast listeners. What a bunch of no-respect having freeloaders. By the way, don’t forget to visit our tip jar. I mean, I know you won’t. Freeloader.

Item 24 – Axl’s not gonna sue

Sunday, February 27th, 2011

GeminiDragon24Buttons – how do they work? I was wondering at the start of today’s program. We responded to some feedback and talked about the .tv Internet extension. Jen answered a question about the long-awaited followup to her first book. (Also, this.) We reviewed the film Smash His Camera. We covered a story about how cell phones were found in the possession of Charles Manson. That was followed up bu a PRESUMABLY (!) non-related story about an office worker who croaked at her desk. Next, this:

Next we read a story about a Tennessee woman who was saved by her daily pizza habit. Following that, we discovered who Axl Rose is suing this week. Then we played a bouncy song by Fake Elegance. We recapped our exciting studio liquidation contest. Finally, we rounded out the program with the top 10 of the 50 greatest guitar riffs of all time.

Item 23 – Geminiraptor

Monday, February 21st, 2011

GeminiDragon23Another unlive presentation. The live ones will be back soon. Maybe. We responded to some feedback (thanks, David and yarnspinner!). We talked about how I filled in for a sick Colin on the most recent Halfway Around The World episode. We announced our first contest! We read an article about how the band Smashing Pumpkins’ new bassist is (allegedly) one of the girls on the band’s album from 1993. We discussed a story sent in by Nathan about a teacher who was fired because of her blog. We played some audio from the news reporter who had an on-air “malfunction” and gave our own thoughts. Then it was time for obligatory Bieber news. That was followed up with a song by JacksonsWarehouse. Then we read another story submitted by Nathan about a real Gemini dragon! We finished things up with an announcement of the 10-haiku-per-day project beginning next month.

Item 22 – Mammoth, deadly cock and Baals

Monday, February 14th, 2011

GeminiDragon22I was nursing a cough lolly at the start of the show due to an allergic reaction. We gave an update on Jen’s jury duty summons. Thanks to feedback from David, Rowley, Les, Nathan, Erk and Robert, the audience has unlocked the bribery badge. Well done, audience. Prizes coming soon! I made an officially unofficial announcement about the future of my blog. Also, domain-name conspiracy theories. Then we covered a story about an avenging cock. After that, we discussed how a survey shows that California is full of fat kids. From California to Indiana where they’ve got some serious Baals:

Scientists want to resurrect a mammoth. Using SCIENCE! Of course, no one knows why they want to do this. A woman in India was ripped off when it turned out her husband wasn’t a dude. We played a fine, fine song by The Hold Steady. We brought the whole thing home with an important question from WikiAnswers.

Item 4 – PPM BS is on the air

Sunday, May 23rd, 2010

GeminiDragon4We’re live! Well, we were when we recorded this GeminiDragon item. It was a bit of an impromptu affair. But our friends Medros, Lou, Nathan, Druey and Ben all showed up to join us. As I mentioned during the recording, we’re still soft launching this new project, and this is more of a test recording than anything else. Still, we managed to have another conversation about Subway. We also talked about my new guitar amp, its problems and my experience so far in dealing with the company that sold it to me. We also covered the TV show “Deadliest Catch” and wondered why it is that these guys continue to risk their lives fishing when they could just take their money and go to college, already. We heard a nice voice mail from Robert. Then there’s a cool song by Lizards From Afar that I heard earlier in the day on DarkCompass. We will be releasing some more audio from this session later in the week.

So, what’s your favorite Subway sandwich? Also, see the photos we took during this recording here.
