Brian, I’ve been trying to download this today, but iTunes just keeps saying
The URL “http://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.m4ar/backbeat.cacheflynet/c could not be found on the server.
(I’m guessing there’s more to that URL, but it gets cut off by the text wrapping on the error box.)
It’s been fixed – refresh your podcast listing in iTunes, and you should see the reposted show. Sorry about that!
I LOVE Is That All There Is?! It is SO demented.
Yep, all better now – thanks! I’d be bummed to miss out on an episode of my favorite podcast. 🙂
Björk rhymes with “work”, not “fork”. 😉
Liar! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhuBjxWj5Fk
Love the Joya Landis song. Never heard of her before. Thanks for turning me on to that. What a great sound…so good!
