Wow, what a bunch of crap! Where to begin? Ok, War-N jumps in and talks about how we spent christmas day, as does CB, and the joys of a solitary holiday. CB chats about making her movies and how the vision of “Shawn Scorn” enters her brain every time she doesn’t complete something. Thank you, Shawn!! War-N poses the question to all of you about the possibility of a live call-in segment on TWHL to give the podcast more of a spontaneous feel. Wouldn’t you love that? Also, do you prefer whole albums, or do you just purchase individual songs? Let us know! OPM’s included Null Device and their 2007 album “Excursions” (iTunes), which was CB’s pick, and War-N chose Two Loons for Tea and their album “Nine Lucid Dreams” (iTunes / Amazon MP3). Movies talked about were the very powerful “Tideland” (trailer) and “I Am Legend” (trailer). Both of these films were VERY powerful, in different respects, and should be watched with much enthusiasm!!

Hope you have enjoyed the theme tunes, and all of the other jingles, as they are all retired as of now. Thank you for humoring them as long as you did With a new year, new tunes must be made. We are, after all, sporadic creatures with short attention spans! We are now feeling the flow of the music once again and hope to share some with you VERY soon! Thanks for listening and supporting us through nearly 100 episodes!!

We’ve just posted TWHL #96 and as promised (during the episode) created some new podcast jingles for 2008. I only hope they sound as fun after the wine wears off! Tune in next week to judge for yourself.

Happy New Year EVERYONE! We love you all!!

We promise that 2008 will bring more HL goodies than 2007 did!

So, yes, we did a podcast this week. Slacker mode is over. Sorry we were gone so long!

After a bit of a slow start, Christa and War-N remember how to make a podcast and return to your ear-holes. This week’s topic include Christa’s affinity for ugly socks, the difference between geeks, nerds and hackers, War-N’s didgeridoo, some old vinyl and Christa’s uncanny ability to edit video without looking. War-N also shares a lovely birthday greeting from Shawn and I-Li (aka Bloodwire). Other people’s music this week covers Nik Kershaw’s latest album “You’ve Got to Laugh” (Download) and The Postal Service.

War-N also announces Hungry Lucy’s performance at the Blacksun Festival in New Haven, CT on March 14th. HL are hoping to stop for a show in Pittsburgh on the 12th or 15th of March … if anyone is interested.

Also mention, from Elsewhere on the ‘net:
Sock Dreams
David Byrne and Thom Yorke on the Real Value of Music (Wired Magazine)
David Byrne’s Survival Strategies for Emerging Artists - and Megastars (Wired Magazine)

Hi all.

There will be no podcast this week (Dec. 9) as I’m officially playing the birthday slacker card.

Finally, the monkey kids have returned with some new ramblings and such! This week mentions holiday business, out of town caring for family, voluntary hair loss on both counts and what influence The Beatles had on CB (her OPM choice of the week). Lots of mentions of movies including Across the Universe (hence the Beatlemania) and Inland Empire. The latter scaring the pee pee out of CB whilst folding laundry and the former being a wonderful musical treat for all. War-N’s OPM was A Fine Frenzy, especially the song ‘Almost Lover‘, and both videos for said song (CD/Download). CB mentions the movie-making process for a yearly video she does, including all family-oriented happenings, and how that’s all going. Also mentioned was a photographer Christa saw featured in BW Magazine named Dominic Rouse. For fans of interesting black & white photography, and just good photography in general, go check out his lovely work! The podcast closes with some brand new music … yum yum!

Join us again next week, and we WILL be back next week, for some more musical fun and maybe a few OPM tunes for your listening pleasure!
