Two new updates at On the pod.net

Hello Everyone,
 
Another week closer to the end of the year and the holiday season...time flies.
 
This week I decided to post the reviews I wrote for Finer Things Magazine.  There are two parts, the first being my work for their Fall issue and the second is the Winter edition.  Each part has three reviews along with a little commentary.  I know some of you guys don't have access to the magazine, so I thought I would post the reviews on the site so you could check them out before the albums are too out of date.  Speaking of albums, the two pieces have reviews for Breaking Benjamin, Los Lonely Boys, The Scrubs Soundtrack Vol. 1, The Scissor Sisters, The Indigo Girls and Evanescence.
 
I wanted to take the time to again thank Erik Remek for his piece on Queensryche that hit On the pod.net last week.  The trip sounded like it was a blast and the pictures were great too.  I swear this guy has met more famous people than anyone I know.
 
In other news, it was a crappy week for new music.  I managed to find a few new albums (at least to me), so I'll have a New: On the pod update either tomorrow or next week depending on when I actually remember to add the new tunes to my iPod.
 
In other happenings...
 
I'm working my way through a bunch of home made Audiobooks.  I happened to find a bunch of e-books online that included all of the Star Wars: New Jedi Order series that came out a few years back (I'm a geeky).  I took the e-books, converted them to PDF files, converted the PDF's to text files and ran them through a text-to-speech app which gave me audio files.  I've actually decided that I don't mind the computer's TTS voice reading the books, mispronunciations and all.  Actually it's kind of cool to have Sci-Fi read by a computer...I need help, I know.
 
My friends in Fear the State have a couple of gigs coming up in December:

That's about it for now, so as always...
 
Thanks and Keep Listening!!!
 
Joe
