Wide Asleep and It's Christmas!

Hello my jolly podcast listeners! I am back for the last time this month and part of January. I'm doing a Christmas podcast again to get you all in the mood for gift giving and being happy that you're around the people that you love. I get to go home and be with all of my friends and family, and then I get to go and be with my lovely boyfriend. So this is a season for joy for me. Exams will be over, classes and worries will be dismissed for an entire month, and happiness will prevail over all!!!!

So listen to this, and maybe if your day sucks it will brighten it. And if not, it can only make it a little brighter, right? Forget all your inhibitions and just sing along!

Wide Asleep and I'm Seasonal

Woot, Hey everybody it's meeeee! I'm here to give you this week's lineup of music. It's all Christmas themed stuff. Things having to do with the season. The songs are good, and they're by awesome artists, and so I want you all to check this one out and don't skip it because of something like "I don't like Christmas" or "I'm not Christian." or whatever your lame excuse is. Because I'm not christian either, so suck it up and check this jive out. Next week is another Christmas lineup, but it will be songs that you know done by people you love, and that does not mean Burl Ives. So enjoy, and see you back next weekend!

Wide Asleep and I'm Cruising

So in merely 2 days I will be cruising down highway 63, headed back home to Memphis, TN. It's a beautiful thing, going home for the holidays. In this case it's "Turkey Day," as some now like to call it. I would talk in these podcasts but my roommate is never out of the room...ever. Thus, you're left without my little stories about songs and laughs. Sorry, folks. Anyway, after this podcast I'll be absent for a week, and then I'll return again to do more podcasts. Of course, I'll be thinking of all the things to put on the next podcasts. I know you'll all love them; I already have part of them planned out haha. Sad, I guess.

Anyway. So this is just a collection of songs that I love to listen to while I drive. Some of them are about driving, some of them aren't. It starts out fast and tones down, because when I'm leaving the city I want my music loud, but when I'm on the open or winding roads, I want it mellow and relaxed. So I'm really satisfied with this, and I hope you will be too. Everyone who's driving somewhere for the holidays, safe driving, and take this little diddy with you.

Wide Asleep and I'm Lazy

Yeah yeah yeah. So I haven't updated in 2 weeks. Get over it. Haha. Actually last weekend I just forgot, and was overly stressed without time to do it anyway. So I don't blame myself, and neither should you har har. This week's was hard to do. I just couldn't get the feel for it, so if it's not as good as some of the previous ones I'm sorry. However, I do hope you enjoy it. There will be one next week before my Thanksgiving break that will be a mix of car-tunes. Good driving songs. Look forward to it. Listen to it on your drive back. Or around, if you're not driving back to anywhere.

So this week's lineup is as follows:

00:00 - 06:32 Delerium - Fallen Icons
06:33 - 09:25 Erin McKeown - Slung Low
09:26 - 13:00 Fiona Apple - Red Red Red

15:58 - 21:49 Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah! - The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth
21:49 - 25:46 Stellastarr - Homeland

Sorry it's out on Sunday instead of Sat. Have a good one though.

Wide Asleep and I'm Groovin'

So it's been two weeks since my last podcast. Didja miss me? Haha, well if you did, I'm back in half-bloom. This podcast isn't as long as some of my past ones, but I think 7 songs is a good amount, and I guess I've found that the shorter they are, the easier they are to find time to listen to. That's not to say that they'll get shorter than this, or even that they won't be really long again. It's just something I discovered in my podcast-capades.

Recently I've missed Post-Radio Podstop, since he hasn't had a podcast since mid-September. Check it out though, it's always a chillin' blend of music. :)

So all that being said, here's my line-up for the week:

00:00 - 04:02 Franz Ferdinand - Dark of the Matinee
04:03 - 07:39 Jamie Cullum and Katie Melua - Love Cats (Cure cover)
07:40 - 10:25 The Weakerthans - Reconstruction Site
10:26 - 14:47 Jazon Mraz - Clockwatching
14:48 - 17:45 Bandi Carlile - Closer to You
17:46 - 21:17 Rhett Miller - Our Love
21:18 - 24:58 Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Jihei Tansaku

I would worry about getting in trouble for this podcast because of all of the more mainstream music, but not enough people listen to it for anything to matter. Thus, I am just not going to worry.

Hope you enjoyed! :)

Wide Asleep and It's Fall

This podcast starts upbeat and goes down into some mellow jive. It's sortof an assortment of songs I've listened to this week and just gone "damn that was good, I'll put it on my podcast." Isn't that how it mostly goes anyway? haha. So this is it for this week, a bit shorter than the others, but they're getting perhaps a little TOO long? I think this is a good length. Otherwise you have to have a long long stretch of time to listen. Once again, no talking since I didn't have time. Ah well, enjoy!

Wide Asleep and It's Fall

00:00 - 02:29 The Futureheads - Decent Days & Nights

32:45 - 36:55 Jamie Cullum - Singin' In The Rain

Hope it was enjoyable. Not sure if there will be one for next weekend, though I doubt it. My boyfriend is coming to visit me and I'm sure we'll be "oot and aboot" and not sitting around in front of the computer. Check the next week, though!

Wide Asleep and I'm Dreaming in Japanese

So this podcast is entirely made up of Japanese music. It's some really great stuff, a little bit of jazz, a little bit of electronica, a little bit of rock, some other stuff. You don't have to know a language to love it's music, and this is definitely one of those cases. I don't talk in this one, mostly because I didn't have time this week. Upon retrospect though, I should have done an intro in Japanese. I can't go back and re-do it now though. Maybe another time. Instead, you can have this:

Ninhongo no ongaku ga suki desu yo! Ii kikimasu. Arigatou gozaimasu.
