Chortcast #2

 

Hello lovelies. Here’s another Chortcast… not as long as the previous but that’s what happens when I can’t fill it out with 15 minute Floyd tracks. Nevertheless, well worth a download, says I.

As usual, you can download through itunes with the rss button down in the footer, or stream from the site.

For some reason, Chrome seems to be having trouble with streaming the file from the link below. It definitely works in FF, Safari and Opera. IE I have no idea. So use one of those browsers if you need the chort real bad. I’ll look into installing a better player over the next few days. For now, I sleep.

Chortcast #1



The first Chortcast is now available for consumption. Come and get it you bastards!

I feel compelled to point out that I have no idea what I’m doing and it shows. The mixing (or blends?) between songs is terrible, and the audio levels are all over the place. I can’t be bothered to fix them because honestly, I’ll be lucky if four people even download this thing. With that said, it’s totally rad and you should listen to it. It’s music appropriate to doing the dishes, declawing a cat and vigorous mime.

If you want to download this thang all you need to do is grab my rss feed from way down in the footer and select itunes as your “reader” (I think that’s the terminology). Or you can just listen to the sweet sweet riddems from the site.

  • Je T’aime Moi Non Plus – Serge Gainsbourg
  • Little ole wine drinker, me – Dean Martin
  • I can’t hide – Flaming Groovies
  • The saddest story ever told – Magnetic Fields
  • Coma girl – Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros
  • Message from the law – Sic Alps
  • Two drummers disappear- Thee oh sees
  • Flower sun rain- Boris
  • The sun smells too loud- Mogwai
  • Echoes- Pink Floyd

Free your mind. Chortcast 1
