its just that summertime makes it hard to stay inside and focus on doing a podcast.  but i can take the laptop outside and do blog posts, so if you are interested in what's happening in my world, please step over to the blog that Emma and I are doing.  Not too much punk rock, but more about gardening and home projects.  I know that's not why you came to this website, but maybe you are interested in that too.

new podcast soon.  i swear.

Hello again - its been awhile.  Tour, sickness, sunshine and the garden have all kept me away from the podcastin'.  My apologies to anyone who has been anxiously awaiting a new Podtravelin'.  But we have some new stuff for you, so hopefully you will be pleased.  Tracks from Pay Toilets, Sequoia, Midnite Snake, Brain Handle, Suburban Death Machine, Necracedia, Doomwatch, Crucial Unit and Antennacle. 

Hopefully getting back in the every other week schedule groove.  Also will hopefully have a couple special theme episodes coming up.  Stay tuned.

Several people have asked about the status of Podtravelin as its been almost 2 months since the last show.  I haven't given it up, just got caught up with a couple other things - went on tour for a week, was sick for a bit, then spring came and i've been spending lots of time out in the garden. 

Now today I went and tried to do a new episode and can't seem to get my equipment to give me stereo sound.  The culprit is my RCA to 1/8" jack that connects to my computer.  One side of the cable has been finicky for a while and may have finally called it a day.  So hopefully i'll replace that in the next day or two and get a new episode up shortly thereafter. 

Thanks again to everyone whose been listening and those who have shared the kind words.
