secret comics

here comes the sleep train

hop aboard the last train to new slumberton -- this edition of the secret comics stays up way past its bedtime -- and it shows... maybe.  metal is feeling fairly self-conscious, so please just ignore him

on the upside though, he had a delicious cranberry orange scone with lunch and dinner today (half and half), but, um, you won't hear about that on the podcast.  because it's exclusive content, you see.   a scoop.  tomorrow it's a veggie bbq sandwich for lunch.  again!  will he be talked into more choward's violet mints?  will they finally have the delicious all-citrus scone available for purchase, the one with no cranberries to get in the way of the zesty deliciousness?  stay tuned!

so... are the mints really that terrible?  well not really, and totally not at first, anyway... look, you'll hear all about it inside.  but not about how i totally got "suggested-sold" into buying said mints by the lovely folks at jo's coffee shop (downtown)

upon further reflection, maybe the whole "suggested-sell" thing is why i'm hell-bent on liking them... are the mints and i TOTALLY MEANT TO BE?

the power of a new t-shirt...

...meets the power of a couple glasses of red wine, and there's podcasting magic afoot.  and so the secret comics finally finds its way onto itunes with only a minimal amount of mumbling, but lots of excellent music -- lifter puller, the langley schools music project, eluvium, and european jazz giant bobo stenson this time out, among others.  come join the party -- later we're gonna either play board games or watch heavy metal parking lot. you can also visit very metal at last.fm if you'd like.  he's trying to get that whole deal going.

in any event, have a lovely day

it's here, it's new... i'll try to update this a little more tomorrow or whatever, but you should find all of the pertinent information in the link herein -- what else do you need?

and for the record, i'm totally kidding about the laundry.  listening back to this i worry that i'm coming across as putting people on the spot, which of course i am not.  but laundry will get done this weekend one way or the other, of that you can be sure

wherein things are no big deal jeans, really

you'll get to hear a lot about incense and bottled water this time around, it's pretty sweet

also -- there were verrrrrry few interstitial edits in this podcast, so go easy on me.  i may totally be doing this wrong, but i listen to a lot of public radio so i figure i have a pretty good grasp on things

actually i totally had to go back and make some edits upon listening to the final version, no big deal jeans
