Guy Fawkes Day

Today is Guy Fawkes Day, where depending on your leanings we either celebrate the attempt to blow up the British Parliament building or the failure to blow it up. It can be hard to tell.

I had paid for and was using my logo for years before I realized it was Guy Fawkes. It took a young dude working on an Army bomb disposal unit who I met in Washington Dulles airport. He said that Fawkes is their mascot and started a conversation after seeing my logo. I explained it to the artist as a silent movie villain and only in the airport that day did I realize that the look of the mustachio twirling, tie-her-to-the-tracks villain is pure Guy Fawkes.

Today you can download for free Paul Melancon’s song “Guy Fawkes Day”, which I highly recommend. He’s one of my favorite musicians, so go get this while the getting is good. I love this song, I love his music, go do it.

EGC Clambake For August 29, 2006

Here is the Bittorrent link and direct MP3 download for the EGC clambake for August 29, 2006.

I decide on the spur of the moment to throw myself a second anniversary bash for this podcast (which began on August 20, 2004 – we start the party early around here, you frigging late-comers). I play the music of friends of the show – Paul Melancon, Rocket City Riot, Jonathan Coulton, the Gentle Readers, Steadman and Michelle Malone. I talk in the interstitial bits about life and love and loss, about why I podcast and why I care and who I care about and why we all need the little bits of joy we can scrape up in this shitty life we are in. Thanks for sticking with me, on to the next two years and beyond.
