The Thing Of The Day Podcast

Here's another archive show, probably the most requested show I have.

It's been requested 3 times.

Due to space limitations this week on my podcast server, this week's show is an archive MP3 show. Hey, it's probably new to you. Back when I was teaching, circa 2002, one of the shows I produced a cover show tackling a different band or genre each week.

This is an all Clash cover show. It originally aired on KWSC-FM and all of the songs are mentioned in the show.

I did make the picture especially for this post.

Pirate Clash Radio on a Podcast Web Site.

Here's the crappy MP3 version of The Thing Radio Six. You can find all the info and goodies on the enhanced page HERE.

This week's podcast was once again hastily assembled, but the mix is okey-dokey by me. There's a variety of songs. Guess I should narrow my tastes more so those subscribing (all 3 of ya--ya b*stards!!) would know what they're getting. Well, no. Discover different stuff, ragamuffins. Here's an idea how the flow goes--power pop, pavement guy, funny, electro-funny, pop, country pop, R & B, blues, yo la sounding, weird country, fuzzy freakout, hip hop weird, soft weird.

Works for me.

Here's the crappy MP3 version of The Thing Radio Five. You can find all the info and goodies on the enhanced page HERE.

Today's Thing Radio was put together rather quickly, so I'm not a hundred percent how it all will turn out on reflection. But what I lack in quality, I make up for in quantity. All the music is relatively new music---the oldest track being from February of this year. There's even a few preview tracks in there. Visit the website links and check out the bands while you listen. I'm in a bit of a hurry today, so no comments on the tracks, but all the regular bells and whistles are there.
