On Podcasts And Curried Goat

-i am currently listening to Ben Gibbard recorded live in May of last year. the best part of it (besides the actual music of course) is that it was delivered directly to my computer at no cost to me courtesy of NPR's All Songs Considered podcast. alongside the aforementioned concert i also have shows by Tom Waits, Devotchka, The Arcade Fire, Rilo Kiley, Gogol Bordello, The Hold Steady, and Stars (as well as a few others). the sound quality is stellar. did i mention it was free? it amazes me what you can find online. not to mention the fact that a few short years ago if you had told me about these things called 'Podcasts' i wouldn't have had the foggiest notion of what you were talking about. ah technology.

-so i spent monday with my friends Emily, DJ, and Sarah Rose standing in a line of approximately 2000 people at Leonard and Broadway for over four hours to audition for the upcoming Spider-Man musical. for about 45 minutes we were positioned in front of a small carribean cafe. the menu looked tantalizing and featured such delicacies as oxtail and curried goat. since moving on from that spot i have been intrigued by the concept of curried goat. i am almost positive that i will find myself trying this dish in the near future. i think i'm going to attempt to write-up an actual recap of the new york trip but for now i will imagine what curried goat might taste like. heck, i can't even imagine what non-curried goat tastes like....

The sound quality from the Stars show was "stellar?"

Neat.
