I have updated my sidebar podcast links. Some of the links had changed, some podcasts were added, some have regrettably faded. I would love nothing more than to re-link to some that have disappeared. Theory of Everything, smallWORLD, The Seanachai and RU Sirius are at the top of that list; I truly [...] - AudioLingo 89: Gormenghast (13mb)
Tue, 27 Nov 2007 17:39:02 +0000
A cursory glance at the first page of each Gormenghast novel, by Mervyn Peake. Titus Groan, Gormenghast and Titus Alone were published by Eyre & Spottiswoode from 1946 to 1959.

Computer problems have made the recording process untenable for now. Audacity, along with every other application, keeps crashing, leading to the tearing of hair and gnashing of teeth. As soon as I replace my hard drive, I’ll return. Please don’t write me off. - AudioLingo 87: Many Hats of Sandburg (15mb)
Wed, 08 Aug 2007 06:30:45 +0000
Carl Sandburg was every bit as much a storyteller as a poet. This piece proves it. It’s called Many Hats and it was included in Good Morning America, published in 1928 by Harcourt Brace. His subject matter, as usual, was larger than life: the Grand Canyon. The stories it tells are [...] - AudioLingo 86: My Bad (1mb)
Thu, 02 Aug 2007 14:15:13 +0000
Vickie hangs me out to dry for being so late. Excuses follow. My blog has gone from fun pastime to scary obsession, what with all the collecting, remixing, painting, scanning, tweaking, posting and writing about all the critters there. My business eats all my weekday daylight hours. KABF music-directorhood and Audio 101 and World Tour steal [...] - AudioLingo 85: Pure Drivel (6mb)
Tue, 26 Jun 2007 07:32:47 +0000
Some Pure-D Drivel from Steve Martin. A story like this makes it evident Steve Martin could have been a latter day Robert Benchley if he’d just not have been led astray by that pesky Hollywood. Come to think of it, Benchley was somewhat led astray by Hollywood himself, but still managed to write book after [...] - AudioLingo 84: Vitreous Trimfins (12mb)
Wed, 13 Jun 2007 06:14:52 +0000

And check out [...] - AudioLingo 83: Millaysian Offering (7mb)
Fri, 08 Jun 2007 07:03:36 +0000
A tribal grunt is followed by a Counting-Out Rhyme by Edna St. Vincent Millay. Then another Edna, The Singing Woman From the Wood’s Edge. Both are backed by Glass Drum by Stett Audio: OpSound here and MySpace here. Then, an Offering by Staraya Derevnya: OpSound here, Jamendo here and MySpace here. Back [...] - AudioLingo 82: Tralfamadore 2 (14mb)
Fri, 25 May 2007 06:25:29 +0000
Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time. This is the third and final ode to Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., borrowing from the text of Slaughterhouse Five and the abridged reading by the author as recorded by Caedmon Records in 1973.
