Episode 10: The Last(?) Podcast

spinn — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 05:26:20 +0000

Probably not the last podcast, but at least it’s the last one my brain is obligating me to make. I really wanted the “last” one to go out with a bang, but turned out it was more of a whimper.

Episode-ish 9.5: Intermission

spinn — Wed, 11 Aug 2010 05:44:38 +0000

Yeah whatever!

30 Seconds (Hey Man, Nice Job)

spinn — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 03:18:09 +0000

From Episode 6, my reimagineering homagination of Hey Man, Nice Shot.

And Now, The Lightning Round

spinn — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 15:01:30 +0000

After I put together the last podcast, I found myself playing the last bit over and over so I could listen to the music, except this guy’s voice kept getting in the way, and I wished he would shut up a minute so I could hear it, and then sayyy wait a minute…

This is yet another song I’ve put together that I think is probably just for me. I can’t picture anyone really listening to it more than once except me. But here it is anyway.

Episode 9: 1/4th of a Spanish Milled Dollar + The Treaty of Ghent + The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo

spinn — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 04:21:06 +0000

Greg talks neither about a Spanish milled dollar, nor the Treaty of Ghent, nor the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. First person to figure it out and send in the solution (showing your work) wins a prize! I don’t know what! But it’ll be some sort of prize!

Music from this one will be available separately on spinnwebe.com in the Discography.

Episode 8 pictures

Here are the pictures of my Wii/easel pad experience I mentioned in the podcast:

Episode 8: Bits and Pieces (American version)

spinn — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 14:59:57 +0000

Strange tales in a stranger’s house with the strangest dog. Eh, that last part’s not true, I just liked the parallel structure.

The pictures I mentioned in the podcast — I’ll get them up later.

Episode 7: Bits and Pieces

spinn — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 03:39:00 +0000

Greg cleverly disguises the topic of the podcast in a bit of fairly transparent English slang, and describes his experience with Chat Roulette one weekend.

Episode 6: Work Lyrics

spinn — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 14:02:45 +0000

Greg talks about work (again) and writes some song lyrics (not again! For the first time!) and shares with the class.

I start the thing by saying “this is going to be a shorter podcast” but clearly I lied. MP3 of the song will be available later; you can see the lyrics in the podcast’s info.

Episode 5: Also Friends (the Movie)

spinn — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:54:09 +0000

The video companion piece to Episode 5. Same audio, but with scenery.

Episode 5: Also Friends

spinn — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 03:51:59 +0000

Okay, let’s finish up the friends topic Greg wussed out on last time. Also: sittin’ in a field! Bein’ scoped out by possibly attack birds! Becoming an unwilling home for who knows what kind of parasites!

The contra-positive of air guitar

spinn — Sat, 29 May 2010 23:41:02 +0000

Decided Guitar Hero “expert” wasn’t good enough, so I moved up to “double expert” — only looking at the screen for parts of it. Maybe later I’ll move up to “triple expert” — playing a real damn guitar instead.

This is what I mean about fighting my perfectionistic nature. After I recorded this, I thought eh, I better not upload it, I kinda messed up a few parts, and I had to look at the screen for a few of the interlude bits. But man! What the hell was I griping about, many people can’t even play the game this well while looking at the screen. This is pretty awesome as it is.

Episode 4: Friends

spinn — Wed, 26 May 2010 13:48:56 +0000

Greg risks life and car by talking about friends while driving, then risks sanity and well-being by getting all maudlin about it. Now with 30% more angst!

Episode 3: Boundaries

spinn — Wed, 19 May 2010 14:57:55 +0000

Greg talks about breaking down his boundaries, and kicks ‘em in the teeth by inviting his grandboss to his house to talk on the podcast.

Episode 2: Work

spinn — Wed, 12 May 2010 15:07:06 +0000

Greg sort of loses it a little in a caffeine-fueled work rant, and reveals his deep-seated anger with easel pads. Not so much awesome as a plea for awesome.

Ep 2 coming soon

spinn — Sat, 08 May 2010 03:51:40 +0000

I have episode 2 done, but due to Reasons, I’m waiting until sometime during the week to release it.

Episode 1: Origins

spinn — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 02:16:45 +0000

In which Greg explores the origins of the podcast, and the origins of himself by talking to his parents. (Did you know the neighborhood kids paid him a quarter to spell “encyclopedia” when he was two years old? Neither did he!! But it’s true!!!)
