Let's Find Some Good Podcasts
[More blog entries about podcasting; podcasting, webbradio.] I've been laid low all day with a cold. To entertain myself while unable to read, I've listened to podcasts, and when I ran out of shows I subscribe to I started checking out Podcast Alley's top-10. Unfortunately, most people being morons…
Radio Stars
You listen to a podcast that you like for months and years and you start feeling like you know the people on the show a little. Their voices are certainly familiar and you know a bit about their personalities. And so you start to wonder what they look like. At least I did. So by various means I've…
In My Earbuds Lately
The increasing number of podcasts I subscribe to has tended to crowd music out a bit from my earbuds in recent months. But I do have some good albums to recommend. Here's what's on my smartphone right now. Fleet Foxes. Fleet Foxes. 2008. Folky guitars and complex vocal harmonies. Heavy Blinkers.…
Great Science Fiction Podcast
I've been a devotee of Escape Pod, the weekly science-fiction short-story podcast, for 2.5 years now. Its audience has grown and grown and grown until Escape Pod is now the world's second-largest paying market for sf short fiction regardless of medium. It's second only to Analog! Steve Eley, who…

Check out the Sleep spinoff Om and their Conference of the Birds. Also, whilst not my cuppa, Midlake's The Trials of Van Occupanther might be right up your alley.

If you're liking the Sleep you should seek out some Electric Wizard! Probably best to start with Dopethrone; on the other hand if you're happily listening to Jerusalem you may find the Wizard's 30-minute two-track Supercoven pleasant light relief! Come My Fanatics... is possible the most extreme and weird of their output, but not for the faint-hearted. I think it's fantastic but I tend to listen to it only when I'm in a mood that nothing can make worse.

What is soul? 'Let's take it to the stage' and 'One nation under a groove' are the seminal Funkadelica, but there is much to enjoy from Parliament, Bootsy, Brides of Funkenstein and George's solo releases.
If you've got a hankering for some usa post punk, try the Thermals, 'The Body, The Blood, The Machine', or 'Against Me' by New Wave. Oh and 'Let's Stay Friends', Les Savy Fav.
