The Weird Show TWS110: Flashback to 2000-12-30

(Still on break. Should be doing something new in a couple of weeks. Thanks for your patience!)

A flashback to a time when the news was surrounded by a lot more music: December 30, 2000!

I was rummaging around at my mom's place this week and stumbled across even more tapes of my early shows. Back in those days, I had a much less news-focused show, with quirky music stuffed in at seemingly random moments.

This presented a problem: should I podcast it?

The answer is yes! I have cut out the music in the past, but not this time. It's integral to the conversation, and I think it's covered under fair use. I did clip out the PSAs and weather -- although I cleverly replaced them with podcast promos.

So.. don't sue me - I have no money. If there are complaints, however, I might pull the ep and remove the music.

The Music:

• Coffee and TV by Blur.
• Jimmy The Squid by The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets
• Fru Fru The Talking Cat by Radio Free Vestibule
• Stormy Weather by Lena Horne
• The Inn by Philip Glass and Kronos Quartet
• Mir Space Station by The Sin-Tones
• Hitchhike UFO by The Strangemen
• Colour Me Green by The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets

The Promos:

• Bells in the Batfry - Wacky comedy from the mind (and voices) of John Bell, Professional Voice Actor.
• Pod Culture - Fun discussions of all things geeky!
• The House of Grey podiobook - While I don't have time to read much fiction currently, I've been thoroughly enjoying this YA novel of mystery, magic and the Corem Vir.
• International Detectives From Outer Space - Deep thoughts, community discussions.
• Christiana's Shallow Thoughts - New thoughts daily.
