John Darnielle pretty much nails it

Over at Last Plane to Jakarta, Mountain Goats singer John Darnielle pretty much summed up my feelings exactly on why podcasting (generally) sucks eggs. Less with the talking, more with the musicing. KTHXTTYL.

It makes the most bong-addled college DJ hosting a weekly show of three-hour Phish soundboards sound like Christopher Lee reading Basho. Three. Three minutes of talking about shoes, or "computers," usually. This number may actually be "four," or even "five" or "ten." No-one knows. Know why? BECAUSE AT THE THREE-MINUTE MARK, NOBODY WHO DOESN'T ALREADY KNOW YOU HAS ALREADY APPLE-DELETED YOUR FILE INTO THE FUCKING GARBAGE.

Also dudes, check out my sweet podcast right here. Two quality songs every weekday, maybe some on the weekends if I am bored. And no talking.

But Mark, why no songs today? Because I somehow forgot my log-in for this here blog. It was pretty brilliant. But I just found it (obviously) so I'll toss some up later - don't fret.

I write like a dumbass.
