Japanese Underground

Here it is! The first podcast! While technically its something like the third of fourth, I wanted to upload it first because it was supposed to be for Asian Heritage Month but my mp3 encoder gave me problems.

Anyway, this episode is on Japanese underground music, and is co-hosted with my good friend Parker Mah. Just click on the link below to listen to it, or right-click and 'save as' to download it and throw it on your iPod.

It...finally...works...

So about two months ago I decided I was going to make good on my promise to start a podcast and went out and bought this fun little toy.



What that ad does NOT tell you though is that the Tascam US-144 doesn't play well with Windows Vista and it literally took me (on and off since I have work and grading) the full two months of troubleshooting to fix it with on and off help from Jas' boyfriend Paul and my buddy Justin.

But now its working. And I'm stoked.
