Do you care?    Dublin was a wonderful place to start the tour. Is there another city where a singalong doesn't need ANY encouragement? Despite a variety of "lags", the band and crew not only made it through the day, they did a pretty darn fine job. The crew followed that up with a day off in Manchester... sleep was had by most.     Tonight we play before a crowd that sold out the arena in 6 minutes to see the show. Wow. The boy band Take That was here last night for the 5th time this tour (plus 2 stadiums!) most folks in the US don't even know who they are.     We have a busy 4 days ahead of us...I'll do my best to keep you up to date!     7:20:08 PM    comment []

Podcasting article    I found this from Dave Slusher at Evil Genius Chronicles...   Dan Klass wrote an article about the early history of podcasting which can give folks one version of the beginning of the medium. I just can't believe that I was doing it only few months later. I'm no "pioneer", but it appears in the timeline I was in that first wave following Slusher, Curry and the rest. With my unbelievably low output, I've yet to reach 40 podcasts but that doesn't bother me; I'd rather have something to say that run up the show count. One will be coming from over here soon now that we're finding a groove... 4:58:36 PM    comment []

Early listen   If you're interested, streaming full versions (alternating with partial samples) of all the tracks from Paul Simon's new album "Surprise" can be heard at paulsimon.com. Produced by Brian Eno and including all the lyrics, it's a chance to hear it before his performance at Jazzfest today or the official release Tuesday the 9th... Different and more electronic, his lyrical ability seems to be back on track... 9:19:30 AM    comment []
