Nikola Tesla. He Saw Machines Swirling in His Head
The Groonk Nation admires most things Tesla, mad genius that he was. Others are talking about him now. Others are writing books with detailed history.
Studio 360 is podcasting about it all.

Soma.fm has a Lovely Christmas Lounge of Music
It's kid and parent safe! It's one of the few Christmas laden music streams that I can stand during the holidays. It's a pity I can't hear the damn thing in my car.
And for those with less sensitive ears there's:
You can follow the playlist in their Twitter.
I repeat, the Xmas in Frisco stream is not kid friendly. All they need is some random, non-reading idiot raising a ruckus about not being warned. I did it.
I warned you all.

Penn Jillette has a radio show
I've mentioned Penn before. Too bad Teller doesn't do radio.
Now that would be quality radio.

"Wrote science fiction. Took drugs. Found God."
The world has become more Dickian. BBC Radio 4 aired an interesting, trippy "factual" program called Confessions of a Crap Artist the other day.
Other Philip K Dick fond on GNET:

A fake or a foot

LISTEN: Alexi Murdoch
I literally just heard a track of his on Eggradio.com. It fit the mood I'm in so I looked him up on the good ole interwub.
LISTEN: KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic show featuring Alexi Murdoch.
His sound is sorta folksy-pop(yeah, it's a down kind mood this evening/monring). But Murdoch's sound actually has a soul. If it could become a thing alive, it would live and die and get definite admission into heaven. Whichever one it believed in, of course.
There's a 2003 Austin Chronicle article that drops a good word on him, too. I'm not finding any new buzz on Alexi Murdoch. Wonder what happened to him.
He's scottish, kids. So he's not crap.

LISTEN: Delta Chi: The Band?!
There's a band somewhere overseas called Delta Chi. I being associated with the fraternity called Delta Chi find that fairly amusing.
Their music ain't bad either. I'm not rushing out and buying it, but it's not bad.
They also have myspace connections.

DIGITAL SHARE: Streaming Soundtracks
Lots of studying/reading is upon me. Time to listen to music that has no words.
Me + Reading = absolutely no lyrics
It's a quirk of mine.

"pure dag nasty evil, it's a fact!"
Two things you should take time out of your day to watch.
Anakin Skywalker has never had a truer portrayal than this:
The secret to the Matrix lies behind your local Hooters:

Inside Pandora: More than hope was left
A quick scan of Wil Wheaton's recent in-exile-from-Movable-Type site revealed Pandora.
Pandora is only free for the first 10 hours of use. After that you have to cough up $36 per year to keep going.
So far Flogging Molly has led me to the Tenement Halls who led me to Loudon Wainwright III. Lots of new interests there.
I made a full musical 180 and started over with Goldfrapp. Who led me to Bjork(duh). Who led me to Waterlillies. Who led me to The Warren Commission(the band not the committee).
Pandora is turning out to be a damn good thing.

LISTEN: The Shadow
Not looking to be outdone, I found a podcast called Radio Memories. It podcasts all sorts of radio shows: from sci-fi to comedy to Flash gordon and Superman to big band serenade to westerns to The Shadow.
They give a brief history of the program at the top of each episode.
I've always liked The Shadow the best.

LISTEN: 1940s/1950s Radio Plays
Boingboing found this podcast called Soap Detetcives which serves up hard-boiled radio plays like Sam Spade, The Saint, Paul Temple, and soon to be a lot more.
I've been partial to The Saint, but I'm about to try some Paul Temple and see how the brits got PI work done.

Guards! Guards!
Some streaming show called Guards! Guards! on BBC7's site that invovles, "The city of Ankh-Morpork is under threat from a 60 foot fire-breathing dragon."
Dragons destroying cities... can't be all bad.
