Like LOST? Like Podcasts?

[migrated from myspace blog]

Then you'll want to read about how LOST and podcasting have been feeding off each other from the start.

Happy 40th, Sgt. Pepper

That echo-laden voice you hear counting in the middle of 'A Day in the Life?' It belongs to Beatle roadie Mal Evans, who had been asked to count the measures in a gap in the tape that eventually would contain the song's first huge orchestral buildup.

The alarm clock that precedes the "Woke up, fell out of bed" portion was nothing more than Evans' way of signaling the end of the gap.

LOST

[migrated from myspace blog]

Reliable sources assure me that tonight's season 3 finale is anything but predictable. Yes, it's mostly an action show as war erupts between the 815 survivors and the Others / Hostiles / immortals(?). But the last 5 minutes is said to be the biggest reveal in the history of the show and will change the way we think about LOST forever. I'm completely spoiler-free. I haven't even watched the commercials or promos this week, so everything I know is generic and second hand. The only thing I'm sure about is that people will die. But after tonight, there's no turning back. Drink the Kool-Aid.


Here are some anti-spoilers from ew.com as written by Damon Lindelof. Everything in brackets is mine in case anyone doesn't get the references.

THE TOP FIVE THINGS YOU WILL NOT SEE IN THE LOST FINALE

5. Rose quietly snuffing the life out of Bernard by holding his nostrils closed while looking distractedly at Aaron's car seat. [The Sopranos]

4. Hurley feeling a great disturbance in the Force (''as if many voices cried out and were suddenly silent'') because his cousin back in Valencia, Calif., was blown up in a nuclear explosion and no one seemed to give a crud. [Star Wars: A New Hope...duh.]

3. Kate and Juliet doing each other's hair and nicknaming Jack ''McIntensey'' and Sawyer ''McMurderedTheManWhoConnedHisParentsy.'' [Grey's Anatomy]

2. A character travelling back in time to warn all the other characters to do something, but by doing that something, they prevent a future that might have happened but never did had the character not travelled back in time, thus negating the entire reason behind everything. [Déjà Vu]

1. Sanjaya. [American Idol]

What a week...

Last Saturday was my 6th Anniversary. The second one I've spent alone, and the first since the separation. Sunday was my birthday. (Tonight is the LOST season finale. ) Tomorrow is my divorce hearing, and this coming Sunday is 1 year from the date I found out about the affair.

Here's looking forward to the month of June...

The Glorious Unseen

I just found out about this band that was signed to Tooth and Nail Records last year. It's really well-written, completely not boring worship music. I'd post a song in the blog if I could, but the only track available for download is a wma file, and the embeddable flash player I've been using only plays mp3s, so you'll have to check them out on your own.
