A brief phone update. Short version, I've hurt myself just badly enough that I can't record a show right now. Back soon. Thanks for your patience.

In this episode, I play my new album "Third Act Problems" and talk over it the whole time, in a madcap ruse to try to frustrate you into downloading it. (Or...y'know...think of it as a commentary track.) That's pretty much it. You'll enjoy it or you won't. That's up to you. I'm not responsible for your mood.
Thanks for listening!

Sorry Checkmates...no new episode this week. But I wanted to at least talk to you for a couple of minutes and tell you why. Thanks for your continued support. The show will return next week, assuming nothing bad happens to me in the meantime. Thanks again!

In another FAST CASH episode (that's almost too long to be a FAST CASH), I talk about the new U2 release, "Songs of Surrender." And that's it. I also whine about being tired. But it's mostly U2.

In a format I suddenly remembered I used to do sometimes, here's a super-short "FAST CASH" episode of the show, where we're out in like 20 minutes. In it, I give my thoughts on Mel Brooks' "History of the World Part II" which is now streaming on Hulu. There's some spoiler-ish stuff, so bear that in mind.

In one of our most chair-squeakingest episodes so far, we list our Fab 15 Disney/Pixar movies! This one might touch some nerves--and we HEAR you, and you're right! But we had a lot of fun with this one, and we hope you will too.

In this kinda grumpy episode, I share some personal stuff then talk about music from Michael Penn and the Decemberists, because their music helped me through a rough week. This one has a slightly different tone, but I think it still manages to be fun.
