Good Thing The Spoonbridge is Downtown
David Bowies’ ChangesBowie came up this afternoon on the shuffle. Made me feel like visiting the Walker or some other contemporary art museum and browsing through their pop art collection. Specifically, some Odenburg and Lichtenstein. No Warhol though. Save that for the Lou Reed.
Why Use Copyrighted Music in a Podcast?
Since I started podcasting nearly a year ago, there’s always been the question of how best to include music in a podcast.

In my world, lefse is filled with far more interesting flavors than sugary butter. Like a layer of mashed potatoes …
