POPCAST #547 TREATS THE FOLLOWING: The inability to catch up, to lift your head above water, to break through the cellophane ceiling of administrative mumbo jumbo and get to the stuff that really matters. Also treats hair loss.
RECOMMENDED USE: This week's popcast is a little sinister, a lot cheeky and all perfect for a 45 minute escape into the world of your choosing. I choose the Swiss Alps, a helicopter and a high-speed ski chase down a mountain into a lodge full of happy Scandinavians eating fondue who upon seeing me all yell "HEJ!" and toast many bottles of champagne in my honor.
SPECIAL REPORT: Last weekend I had the distinct pleasure of tagging along with my friend Lisa to a loft concert in San Francisco to see Audiafauna, first group on this week's popcast. They were nothing short of amazing and the energy… simply incredible! These 7 hip kids from Santa Cruz will be very happy to rock your world so go see them live. Though you will find it hard to resist shakin' yo bootay; as beautiful and haunting their songs like Fallen are, I also witnessed them raise the roof like a crazed gospel band out of Macon, Georgia. Holla.

Yay! My dear first commenter! How I’ve missed you! And of course, let it be known that I have you to totally thank for the awesome Moneybrother song. Its so good! Its like The Clash meets Madness and they all go discodancing together. Thanks for passing that along!
(also I’ve had the Modernaire song on repeat since last week. My goal is to learn the lyrics cuz they’re so awesome: “Trip wire, small fire, bathe him with a hairdryer, arsenic, ice pick, cyanide, makes you sick…”

Hallo Kriss! Thanks for the kind words and whoa, for playing P&C over the loudspeakers at metro..! Im supertotally honored, wow! Maybe one day I can do a live broadcast from there and I can feature either coffee-themed pop songs or the athiest tendencies of swedish pop music. Hmm…
Love the Audiafauna! Especially while it is raining outside. Wait- what the heck? Where did this rain come from? What happened to the summer? These are the thoughts running through my head, but Audiafauna makes it all OK.
Summer is over lady..! I also found myself thinking the same thing until i looked at the calendar and noticed it was well into September, so I guess its just about right! And man am I so ok with that. Sacto summers can be pretty brutal… sheesh. (ps: we must meet up soon! I’ll ride my bike over!)
