01/28/2009 — Sorry for the delay. We had a few technical difficulties. This week in news we talk about a “phenomenon” called Microsoft Songsmith and the new Reel Big Fish release. There’s a new segment called “Got You Covered” where we each present a cover song to you. Random Artist this week is dredg, suggested by Isaac a few weeks ago.

EASILY my favorite episode we have made. Man, we are getting so good at this!

Oh that commercial is just the worst! Great episode, guys, I thought it was hysterical. You were just fifteen minutes, too.
My favourite version of Take On Me (my favourite take on the song, you could say) is Cap’n Jazz’s version.
I had something else to say, but I cannot remember. Hey, no porn links this time!

Well done, Daniel!

Great episode. I LOVE the green screen and am jonesing for more next week. Thanks for using Dredg, they’re awesome. That microsoft commercial is like some creepy alternate reality from a dystopian society, the kind of thing you don’t want to watch on a bad acid trip.

Found you through the revision3 forums. Watched this latest episode, and will go back and watch earlier ones. This is my new fave podcast. You two have good chemistry, you are working through the technology, but most of all you have a passion for the content. It shows.
And also you are funny and fun. I have avoided “music” podcasts from day one, even though I was a podcaster, and hope to be one again, but I just figured “music” podcasts would be: “here’s a song we like, listen to it.”
But you two have a fun “young” Diggnation feel. Good luck. Gonna subscribe in itunes. I’ll send ya a thumbs up picture after I watch the earlier eps.

doh! also. I LOVE that peter gabriel cover. Gonna go buy it. You should become itunes affiliates and make a few $.
also, submit this to revision3beta.com and maybe go big league!

Gave you Five stars on itunes and a positive comment. Oh, and subscribed.
There is something about you two that “works”
Gotta work on the tech stuff a bit. Weird hum sound. And the sheet behind you needs to go. but overall. Fun and informative.
