Sunspot Road Mania - Ep. 36

Video podcast from when we were working at Aquamunkee Studios for the rough drafts of what eventually became the album.

This is the first video podcast I edited together in iMovie and I have to say it's a great program. Next time, I'll be more ruthless with the editing, but there's a bunch of good moments in this one.

Sunspot Road Mania - Ep. 34

Yeah, I know in the podcast we say that it's episode 33, but it's really episode 34. We're talking about our show at Bobby Rockets on Saturday and our upcoming CD Sneak Preview at Mad Planet in Milwaukee this Saturday, January 20th!

Byah!

This is also the first podcast we did on my brand new MacBook using GarageBand. Yeah, right we're only two years behind the times. I hope you can hear everything okay!

Sunspot Road Mania - Ep. 33 Part 2

Part two of two. Still sounds like space, unfortunately. I don't know about the MP3 converter on the Palm, it looks like the quality isn't there yet. But there's still some fun moments on the drive to Grand Junction.

Sunspot Road Mania - Ep. 30 Part 2

I had to split these to podcasts into two, this is part two. I tried uploading it the other day and it didn't work, so I tried again before I fell asleep last night and it did. I just checked it out on Wendy's laptop and the files are cooked as fuck. It looks like doing podcasts from the Treo might be a little bit too far on the low quality end, might work in a pinch, but this isn't what we're looking for.

Sunspot Road Mania - Ep. 32

Recorded from the Sao Paolo Cafe at the Rio in Las Vegas at 5 o'clock this morning. I was already on Bloody Marys by that point and I don't quite remember anything we said, I just uploaded it.

When we were recording this, we forgot the name of the band we were hanging out, but they're called The F-Ups and their new recording is a monster.

Sunspot Road Mania - Ep. 31

We did this one from the van yesterday and the upload worked, so here's us talking about the LA shows.

Sunspot Road Mania - Ep. 29

Got clipped at the end when we hit a traffic jam, but it's us talking about New Year's.

We're at Hollywood Alley right now in Mesa, AZ and it's a really cool place. We were going to do an acoustic show but it looks like an electric room. so I think we're gonna go with that.

We're playing in an hour!
