Podcast and Song Mashup
I organized my old magazines into months. So instead of giving in to the rare urge to buy a new magazine, I grab one of the dozen that I've collected the last several years. And I'm really boring and/or focused. I have Busts, I have Mother Earth News, I have a rare women's mag (Marie Claire etc), and some home-fix-it kind of mags. So, if you catch me waxing nostalgic for Jay McCarroll's Project Runway championship, that is why.
So, I'm reading the old magazines, and deciding if I actually need to keep them. I'm on Bust Feb/March 2012. I started listening to How Was Your Week, a pop culture focused podcast, and I skipped back to the one with the Carrie Brownstein interview. It's kinda funny, but also, I zoned out a little and got bored. I don't think this is my thing. Haven't gotten to the interview/discussion. To the rescue was this video of Pretty Good Dance Moves' I Wonder Why. Hearing Julie Klausner's observations over the music made it all better. I'm going to listen to more of their music, and yell at myself for not checking them out in Feb/March 2012. I really need to listen to more new music. Anyway, play them at the same time.
So. Podcasts. I like them, but also feel like I'm listening to someone's private notes mashed up with a cassette of 8 year old me singing horribly off key and incredibly loud for everyone to hear. Even if it's clever and funny and has lots of references to things I like.
Maybe I'm a luddite.
A luddite with a blog.
*sigh*
ETA (like 7 minutes later): OK I'M FURTHER ALONG THE PODCAST AND I LIKE IT NOW. Maybe because we're to the conversations now. Cool. Thank you, Julie Klausner. Sorry I was a douchebag earlier!
