I know, a new show on a Thursday? And no theme today? Go figure. As it turns out, I've had some cool tunes just waiting in the wings for the right theme show to come along so I could feature them, but I couldn't wait any longer. I figured I'd just go ahead and give them their own little podpourri of an episode. Just for your pure listening pleasure.

I wanted to do it last Sunday, but was a little too pooped. 

I went to the NH Highland Games last weekend, and got to experience some great Celtic rock, as always, these games don't disappoint in that respect.  Not to mention the heavy athletics, massed bands, clan tents, competitions, and everything else.  Always a fantastic time!  On the heels of this, I wanted to do a show dedicated to Celtic music, and Celtic Rock in particular.  Hope you enjoy it!  Here's the lineup:

These tunes, while not literally about the joy and pain of working out, made me think of it nonetheless.  Overall, they are some kickass tunes.  Matter of fact, I think you could download the show, grab your iPod, and head out for your own workout.  Ha!  Here's the lineup:

    This is also the first 'cast that I've uploaded to the Podshow.com hosting site, and I don't know how it will affect everything. I didn't want it to download twice, but so far, I'm not terribly happy with the other hosting, so I'm attaching the file here, too. Let me know if it comes to you twice, so I can fix it in the future. Thanks!
    Anyway...
    It is finally a beautiful day! The house is open and I'm feeling fine. Still ops-checking different software and hosting options, so if you have any comments on how the show sounds, please leave me comments on the blog at opinionatedramblings.com or use MyChingo to leave me a voicemail. MyChingo links can be found on the blog, too.
