VERY cool show! I don’t think I’ve heard that version of “American Girl” before.
Maybe now we’ll get the long overdue Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Cover Story. (hint, hint)
I got my iPodJuice battery today and put it in my 15G 3rd Generation iPod.
IT’S ALIVE!
Very exciting.
Add this version of American Girl to the 10 or so I already have!
On the battery, touch wood, my 5th Gen still seems OK after 18 months, though, as I am DL podcasts and partly charging every day, I rarely have to fully charge.
I wonder if they export to the UK, should I have issues in future? Although, as i’ve said before, they have just halved the price here of the 80GB, so that would be hard to beat if my 5th Gen gave up.
Hey Brian,
First time commenting but as I’ve become an avid listener, I figured I should. First…you have an aMAZing podcast. I love your selection of music and the covers sometimes just totally blow me away. I actually found your podcast sometime last year and have really only tuned in to hear one or two songs. But lately I’ve been downloading the whole episode and I find myself enjoying a lot more of the selection. I especially liked the Journey Cover Story. Simply awesome. I’m sure I’m a little younger than some of your audience so song recognition isn’t really up there. But I do work in a music store and my nickname is “Jukebox”…and your podcast has actually helped there…so that’s a plus.
I know I’m rambling but i just needed to tell you to PLEASE keep podcasting. I look forward to each one in the future.
Sincerely, KobUU
Hearing all these songs reminded me of watching this movie over and over when I was 13. Thinking back now, I can’t believe I was ever allowed to watch that film. I would never let my kids watch it today.
Brian!
Dude, that’s my skull! What a great podcast. I was completely amused to hear “American Girl” as I sat in my hotel room on 441 in Gainesville Florida tonight.
Thanks!
Paulie
