What does this mean? Favorites? Bests? Both, yes. These are the bests of our favorites. The most favorite-bests. We worked together as a team to come up with a list we both agreed on, fought and clawed for our favorites, and had to let go of some of them for the greater good. Ultimately, we're extremely pleased with the list we've come up with. So, after you check out the teaser list below, have a look at the big list inside by clicking through to continue reading/view comments. Once there, click the title of the album to purchase it, click the artist's name to go to their site, click the (+) to read what a variety of critics have to say, and click on the song name to listen to an MP3 from the respective album. As always, we welcome you to comment, complain, leave your own "tops of '07" list, or tag the comments to this post with graffiti. EAR FARM's Top Albums Of 2007 #'s 15-11 15. Let's Stay Friends by Les Savy Fav 14. Red Album by Baroness 13. Marry Me by St. Vincent 12. Autumn of the Seraphs by Pinback 11. Eardrum by Talib Kweli EAR FARM's Top 15 Albums Of 2007 15. Let's Stay Friends by Les Savy Fav (+) - listen: "Patty Lee" The real star of this album is guitarist Seth Jabour. Alternating between understated rhythms lurking at the back of the mix to insanely catchy lead lines dictating the entire direction of a given song, he gets my "Slash Award" for 2007. This isn't in recognition of technical virtuosity but rather for stuffing an entire album full of guitar parts that I can whistle along to from memory (except I can't whistle, so maybe just hum). Top to bottom, this is a really fun, uplifting, fist-pumping party album. - Mike 14. Red Album by Baroness (+) - listen: "The Birthing" Red Album is 2007's finest metal album and one I'm pretty sure you'd love if you only gave it a chance. I know, you scoff. You're ready to skip over this album because you don't need metal in your life. Oh but you do! And on this record Baroness has crafted an album that's just as heavy as it is ethereal, just as balls out riff-rocking as it is accessible. A metal album that's not very far off from what you might expect to hear from Isis, and yet entirely "Southern" and even partially "indie rock-ish". Huh? Trust me. For those about to rock, look no further. - Matt 13. Marry Me by St. Vincent (+) - listen: "Now Now" After spending time as a member of Sufjan Stevens' band and the Polyphonic Spree, Marry Me finds Annie Clark (St. Vincent) bursting into the music world like an excited child who's just returned from the zoo. While the record could've ended up sounding like an overly anxious artist's long awaited (messy) moment in the sun, Marry Me is anything but. Instead, it's a near-flawless debut and I can't wait for the follow up. - Matt 12. Autumn of the Seraphs by Pinback (+) - listen: "Good To Sea" When I heard grumblings that this was just like every other Pinback album I thought, "you mean it's filled with interlocking rhythms executed with swiss-clock precision beneath a bed of minor-chord hooks and twisting harmonies?", before leaving a vapor trail in my midst on the way to the record store. Knowing Rob Crow's tastes, if their last album was titled Summer in Abaddon and this one Autumn of the Seraphs , what are the odds their next one will be Winter in Middle Earth ? - Mike 11. Eardrum by Talib Kweli (+) - listen: "The Perfect Beat (feat. KRS-One)" A two sided truth: I'm calling Eardrum 2007's best hip-hop album (yep, better than recent records from El-P and Pharaohe Monch) but it's possible that it could've been even better if Kweli (and his army of producers and guest stars) had been more stingy with the number of tracks included on the record. That's not to say there are bad songs dragging the album down, just that there was really no need to max out all 80 minutes on this CD by pumping it full of 20 tracks. It's perhaps the most disjointed and sprawling album on this list of great albums. So what I recommend is to split it in half, split it in thirds, listen to one song each day for the next three weeks - take it in in whatever way works for you, but whatever you do, don't miss it. The production and guest appearances are top notch and Kweli really goes above and beyond with his delivery/flow and, most of all, with his lyrics. The best in the business. - Matt 10. Strawberry Jam by Animal Collective (+) - listen: "Derek" As they've gotten more popular, the fidelity of Animal Collective albums has improved drastically. Listen to Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished next to Strawberry Jam and the difference is startling. I always identified the lo-fi soupy sonics of their previous albums as just another signature element of their sound, and when the sparkling-clean production of Strawberry Jam power-washed these imperfections away, it left me a bit cold. BUT, coming back to this album recently I realized that all along I guess I secretly wanted their older albums to sound better and bigger to do their songs proper justice. Guess what? Strawberry Jam does just that, and the album cooks as a result. It's also perhaps their most accessible effort as well. - Mike 9. Fort Nightly by White Rabbits (+) - listen: "While We Go Dancing" We considered doing a nerdy list of best song sequences within albums, and for me that idea was partially born from listening to tracks 3-7 on Fort Nightly on continuous loop. And this isn't to suggest the album is front-loaded either, it's just THAT good. From songwriting and arrangements to instrumentation and delivery, this is an incredibly strong full-length debut. Good songs prevail. - Mike 8. All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone by Explosions In The Sky (+) - listen: "It's Natural To Be Afraid" I'm not a long-time fan of this band, but I know people who are. And I know they probably don't consider this the "best" album from Explosions In The Sky, but I'll tell you what: they're wrong. All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone is Explosions at their pinnacle, they've totally perfected their signature dramatic post-rock formula to create one of the most solid and complete works of art of any kind to come out in 2007. With tonal and melodic themes that seamlessly run throughout, it flows almost more like a symphony than a rock record. Listen to this alone, listen to it while driving, listen to it with headphones on, or listen on your stereo and wake up the neighbors. However you chose to experience this record, beware. Because if you let it, it will completely take over. - Matt 7. Friend Opportunity by Deerhoof (+) - listen: "The Perfect Me" Possibly better than The Runners Four , possibly Deerhoof's finest album, but not my favorite of theirs. It is, however, much better than most of the records released this year and has more than its fair share of fantastic/genius moments. - Matt What a shame this was released way back in January. If they had pushed it to coincide with "blog awards season" like Oscar contenders do every fall, Friend Opportunity would probably be at the top of most lists, EAR FARM included (and c'mon, inclusion on these lists is comparable to winning an Oscar, right?). As it stands, this is just another run-of-the-mill Deerhoof album, meaning it's a kaleidoscopic cocktail of ingenious time shifts, starts, stops, freak-outs and childlike melodies that will knock you flat on your ass. I will always be anxiously awaiting whatever Deerhoof does next. - Mike 6. Friend And Foe by Menomena (+) - listen: "The Pelican" I've been told to check out this band in the past, I didn't listen. But for some reason one day at work I threw this album on and was hooked immediately. By what? By the rhythm and melody, rhythm... and melody. And also by the fact that this is one of the finest (pure) indie rock records I've heard since Funeral . Tops. And also, gotta love the sax work. - Matt Two of my closest friends whose taste in music I will never question had been oohing and ahhhing about Menomena - and this album in particular - for quite some time. Late to the party as always (I also had cable tv taken away from me as a kid), the high expectations I already had for Friend And Foe increased even more upon nerding out to their incredible album art . So basically I was sold before I even pressed play. Turns out the album sounds incredible too. My friends are smart. - Mike 5. Person Pitch by Panda Bear (+) - listen: "Take Pills" Unlike most of the music dork world I didn't fall for this album in a big grand 'love at first listen' moment. I knew it was great, but I avoided overdoing it for the most part and took it in small doses. I'm glad for that. And though seeing Lennox perform (and by perform I mean ruin) Panda Bear material live nearly destroyed my appreciation of what he's accomplished here, it simply couldn't because the album is so damn good. - Matt I must have listened to this for three weeks straight when it first came out. I listened to it in the car, on the subway, at my desk and even while watching NCAA March Madness (on mute) on television. Therefore, it's entirely my fault and not Noah Lennox's that Person Pitch gradually lost some of its magic as the year wore on. Listening to it again, traces of its original irresistible charm still come through, and if we were making this list according to how we felt upon first hearing an album this would no doubt be my numero uno. - Mike 4. Sky Blue Sky by Wilco (+) - listen: "You Are My Face" Whoa whoa whoa, what's with all the "dad-rock" hullabaloo surrounding this album? Really? Guess what? If this is "dad-rock" then fuel up my minivan and put socks under my Birkenstocks because it KICKS ASS. Yes, I too was head-over-heels in love with "experimental phase" Wilco and I kinda sorta feel your pain, but how did Sky Blue Sky become labeled as a simple, paint-by-numbers album? Tweedy may have traded in some of the overt weirdness of his previous two albums for a more coherent and band-oriented sound, but in doing so he managed to capture for the first time on record Wilco's standing as the tightest and most musically gifted rock band in America. - Mike 3. We Are Him by Angels Of Light (+) - listen: "We Are Him" We Are Him is the best album released in 2007 that nobody is talking about. It's exactly what I'd always hoped for when listening to other Angels Of Light records, what Michael Gira has always hinted at but never quite achieved. It's frightening, difficult, droning, hypnotic, intimate, sprawling, lonely, paranoid, communal, unique, confrontational, abrasive, beautiful, and perfect. It's a good step or ten darker than most Goth rock you'll find kids with black fingernails listening to - it's what The Doors must've sounded like in their peyote fueled dreams, hoping for a sound they never quite realized. It's like Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, but better. The song posted here is simply to offer you a taste; however, this is truly a record to be experienced as a whole. Like a great book, you must work through the album with patience and fortitude and get familiar with its landscape before it will really payoff. And when it does payoff (multiple times throughout the album), I'll betcha dollars to donuts that you end up agreeing with Gira's proclamation that he is, indeed, “the god of this fucking land”. - Matt 2. Boxer by The National (+) - listen: "Mistaken for Strangers" Alright, go ahead and check me in to hyperbolics anonymous. "Hi, my name is Matt and I like to exaggerate." Right? Oh wait, I haven't offered the proof yet. Here: Boxer is a perfect record. Yeah? Is that good enough? I've only said 'perfect' some 35 times in the last hour. So it seems. Actually, I've only said 'perfect' twice, but then my hyperbolic statement regarding how many times I've recently said the word 'perfect' should be proof enough that I've got an exaggerating problem. We all do. Look, I know it's not going to blow your mind when I tell you this, because it's being said in so many places, but what The National have achieved on Boxer is nothing short of a masterpiece. They one-upped themselves; no actually, they've plain and simply blown Alligator right out of the water. I tried my damnedest to not be one of the many who love this record, thinking that I might retain some fraction of individuality by doing so. How idiotic. You know what? You're right. Boxer is not as good as all of us weenies are saying... it's better. - Matt I don't have quite the obsession that Matt does with this album and I attribute that to being a bit underwhelmed by seeing them live and having that taint Boxer just in the slightest. That being said, I still spun it on repeat for a 10-hour round-trip car ride and didn't even consider listening to anything else. This is like The Blob of 2007 albums. It slithers and oozes forth and seeps into you and wraps itself around you until you have no choice but to submit and be one with it. - Mike 1. In Rainbows by Radiohead (+) - listen: "House of Cards" + "Up On The Ladder" (from disc 2) Are you excited to read yet another yokel's opinons about In Rainbows ? Gooood. I'll try to keep it somewhat short...and in doing so will go back to 1995. That year a new tradition started with The Bends in which I would try to buy every subsequent Radiohead album on the day of its release (including hunting down Kid A in Australia in 2000). That mini-streak ended with In Rainbows . Not only did I not "buy" it on its "release day", but I didn't even pay anything for it when I did get it. Charlatan! I know I know, let me explain. Having been disappointed all year with the efforts of other heavy-hitters (cough cough Arcade Fire) I couldn't bring myself to be let down by another big band's big release. Now, two months later I can breathe easy again. Isn't it nice and orderly when the best band in the world also delivers the best album of the year? It makes me think all is momentarily right. Now excuse me while I go redeem karma points by purchasing this on vinyl. - Mike Okay computer, please don't let me mention how Mike needs to hurry up with buying In Rainbows on vinyl before the karma police come after him with knives out; because, I might be wrong but, that would be a bit of a let down for me to pun so poorly... shit, is this thing on? Damn. Remember how awful peoples' puns and references to Radiohead used to be back in the late '90s? I do. It was "ok computer this" and "karma police" that. Ugh. I remember. I also remember how good Pablo Honey was, how great The Bends was, how (here I go again) perfect Ok Computer and Kid A were, how great Amnesiac was, and how Hail To The Thief saw Radiohead (in my mind) return to just simply "pretty great". That's what happens when you set impossibly high standards as a band. Each time Radiohead drops an album I expect perfection, and while I'm not yet 100% sure that In Rainbows is "better" than Boxer , I WILL be sure in mere minutes when I open this package sitting in front of me and finally get to hear this sucker on vinyl with headphones on. UPDATE: No joke, I'm writing this now an hour and a half later. Today I received my special edition In Rainbows box set (all kinds of awesome artwork and packaging along with the album on vinyl (2 discs) and a bonus CD of b-sides) in the mail and it turns out that it was worth the wait, and worth every penny I paid for it. In Rainbows , on vinyl, with proper headphones on, my goodness . Also, disc 2 contains at least four tracks well worth checking out. As a test subject in the great Radiohead marketing/distribution experiment of 2007 I must say that I'm completely satisfied on all levels. But most importantly, the music... In 2007 Radiohead proved, once again, that they're simply in a league of their own. - Matt -- And there you have it. EAR FARM's Top 15 Albums of 2007. Sure, the top two spots might not have shocked anyone, but when there are albums out there as good as Boxer and In Rainbows , what do you expect? That we ignore the truth and force something else into the top spot just to be different? Yes? Okay, well maybe next year. For now you'll have to deal with the list above. Or, if you're still thirsty for even MORE list action, check out the extra bonus lists below. Beyond that - now it's your turn. Go ahead and offer up your criticisms and questions and name calling and all the whatever you call it... Mostly we'd like to see YOUR "tops of '07" lists, or links to your lists elsewhere, or whatever else you've got for us - so let us have it/them. And, as always, thanks for reading. 10 albums (5 from each of us) that nearly made EAR FARM's top 15 5. Dandelion Gum by Black Moth Super Rainbow - From the first note this album pulls you, floating and weightless, past tangerine trees and marmalade skies as if you're a character in one of Timothy Leary's dreams. My God, the SYNTHS! - Matt Listen: "They Live In the Meadow" 4. In Advance Of The Broken Arm by Marnie Stern - I'm not the first person to say so, but if this album were 6 songs shorter it'd be a masterpiece of an EP. 'Addition by subtraction' is my key phrase of suggestion to musicians for 2008. - Matt Listen: "Every Single Line Means Something" 3. I'll Sleep When You're Dead by El-P - Paranoid, introspective, sci-fi infused, a near-masterpiece, and the perfect hip-hop soundtrack for nerds who live in the city. - Matt Listen: "Tasmanian Pain Coaster" 2. Untrue by Burial - An icily stark (in a Martin Hannett kind of way) and dark "dance" record that truly furthers trip hop/garage/dubstep by shining a soft light on what made the genres such underground favourites in the '90s. - Matt Listen: "Raver" 1. Ire Works by Dillinger Escape Plan - Combining their ferocious chops with a fearless desire to explore elements of prog and hardcore, metal and math-rock, jazz (?!) and (at long last) pop-rock (see the song below), Dillinger Escape Plan have made one of the very best albums of the year. Easily. - Matt Listen: "Black Bubblegum" -- 5. Armchair Apocrypha by Andrew Bird - Haunting, shimmering, contemplative, dramatic, and just out-and-out purrty. This album really surprised me and is certainly worthy of all the hype and praise it's received. - Mike Listen: "Imitosis" 4. The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen - Perhaps unfairly dismissed for failing to sound like a proper "supergroup", the disarmingly relaxed and casual vibe of this album actually works in its favor and throws a relaxed and casual middle finger at those who feel differently. - Mike Listen: "Green Fields" 3. The Stage Names by Okkervil River - A wonderfully ambitious and rock-solid album that also contains some of my favorite lyrics of the year. You had me at "hundredth luftballon" Mr. Sheff. - Mike Listen: "Plus Ones" 2. Shaky Hands by The Shaky Hands - Largely ignored, this self-titled debut is an endearingly messy pop postcard from the Pacific Northwest and winner of the "Sounding the Most Like a Sub Pop Album Without Actually Being on Sub Pop" award. - Mike Listen: "Maker Make" 1. Random Spirit Lover by Sunset Rubdown - A mini masterpiece and overall my favorite record not on the big list above. Spencer Krug has the productivity of Lil' Wayne and the mad genius vibe of Brian Wilson. - Mike Listen: "The Mending of the Gown" EAR FARM's Top 7 EPs Of 2007 Arizona - Frameseeker and the Mono British Sea Power - Krankenhaus? Dead Confederate - Dead Confederate Goes Cube - Beckon The Dagger God Grizzly Bear - Friend EP The Muggabears - Night Choreography Yeah Yeah Yeahs - IS IS 10 albums that just aren't our thing, no matter how good everyone else says they are Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago Beirut - The Flying Cub Cup Dan Deacon - Spiderman Of The Rings Deerhunter - Cryptograms Dirty Projectors - Rise Above Justice - † Miranda Lambert - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend LCD Soundsystem - Sound Of Silver Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank Kanye West - Graduation 10 albums from this year that let us down Arcade Fire - Neon Bible Art Brut - It's A Bit Complicated Band Of Horses - Cease To Begin Brakes - The Beatific Visions Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Some Loud Thunder Dungen - Tio Bitar PJ Harvey - White Chalk Liars - Liars Of Montreal - Hissing Fauna, Are You The Destroyer?

Reviews Reservoir Dogs (PS2) - Great addition to the story – extra info not seen in the movie – The “control” of the police is a nice touch Having 2 paths – psychopath and professional gives a tiny bit of replayability The visuals are dated and look old The driving portions are terrible The action portions aren’t that great – trys to add stealth elements but fails The soundtrack is the awesome “K-Billy super sounds of the 70’s” Voice actors seems like they are trying to be the original actor and not the character. Cutscene’s are CG’d scenes from the movie, mostly edited both for time and content. This would make a great extra disk in the 15 th anniversary edition (which is advertised in the instruction book) but not much more. Final Fantasy XII - PS2 Much better than I expected, based on what I saw in the preview from Dragon Quest VIII Story is fantastic! Fully imersive, great cut scenes, everythign done right. The sound is stellar as always, VO is top notch Graphics look dated. It’s an old console now and it shows. I’d love to see a version of this for XB360 or the PS3… won’t happen. Colour palette is muted and everything kind of blends together. The combat is the thing… It’s good, very reminisent of a MMO, but I miss the old style of fighting. The extra that come with the collector’s edition are nice, but not… OMG I can’t lve without nice. Download of the week Tony Hawk’s Project 8 New “Nail The Trick” mode is awesome.

One in 10,000 As North American college students gallivant in varying states of sobriety during their summer break, I only have memories of my Australian university summer nearly six months ago. Beyond the usual lifestyle of the beach, cricket, and Crappy Summer Jobs, my enduring memory of that holiday is of highway asphalt. It was a summer of driving to friends’ houses for long nights of poker, and of interstate coach rides for job interviews and trips to beachside towns. Sure, I experienced more than enough car sickness, but the laughter, fun, and employment made the long journeys worthwhile. But for every opportunity I was four-wheeling towards, I was leaving something else behind. At the start of the university summer, I packed my things into the car— why do I own so many CDs ?—and drove home from college. Inside my back pocket sat a not insignificant prize—a ’s phone number. There is no better way to inflate a man’s ego—or make him serene during the worst of Australian highway traffic—than to find him a nice girl and give him a real opportunity with her. Those prized digits remained unused for two of the three months of my summer break. I always found excuses to avoid making the phone call – you’re in a different city, it’s too late in the day to call . And for all of the travelling I did, I never managed to book a ticket to go and see her. To be sure, I was pining for her, but I wasn’t about to act on it. I don’t hide behind the pen and a few hundred words of well-crafted prose because I’m brimming with Don Juan confidence. So, instead I strummed my guitar and listened to Brilliant Fanzine, finding meaning in the melodies of a band tucked away in Melbourne, Australia. “ One in 10,000 ” is the song of my hesitation. The insistent 4/4 beat on the snare transports me to a cramped seat on an interstate coach. It could be the throb of my headache, or it could be the seams in the asphalt under-tire. It could be my heart beating as I called the girl on her birthday— don’t fuck it up . The five note piano figure is the sound of me staring out the car window to see dried Australian plantation zoom past. Wistful moments contemplating—no, dreaming about—what could happen between this girl and yours truly. I am haunted by the vocals: “And right from the first time I met you, I couldn’t forget you.” When Brilliant Fanzine penned that simple line, I’m certain they were referring to feelings that go beyond mere infatuation. After almost 22 years of living, breathing— feeling —on these brown lands, I can’t say that I have felt any real depth of emotions about any one person. I don’t even know if I’ve come close. I have been looking for my one in 10,000; girls here, girls there. The story of my so-called life is really a series of shorter stories about girls. And the soundtrack can be found in the warm acoustic strum at the core of this song, which resurrects every lost opportunity, missed call or unspoken word. Despite its bittersweet associations, I cannot speak highly enough about this band and their evocative tune. It is six months on from my holiday, and my yearning, and I barely even talk to this girl. The last time we spoke was after-dark and after much wine at her housewarming. People were dancing in her living room to Bob Sinclar— goddamn I hate that song —and I made valiant attempts to gyrate with all the grace I could muster, but soon gave up. I stood to the side, waiting to make my grand exit. In the end there was no goodbye, just a slight cuss under my breath and a bolt out the door. I could only think of my university summer as I ran across her yard to be confronted, once again, by more asphalt, more hesitation, and the ringing of “One in 10,000” in my ears. [buy stuff here ]

ENB #36 Popcorn Lung, Bush’s Latest Moronic Press Conference, Passive Aggressive Tazing, Bush’s New Math, Dan Rather Artwork by Roger Smalls direct link to small ipod version of show transcript: HELLO I’M RICHARD BLUESTEIN AND THIS IS THE ECLECTIC NEWS BRIEF FOR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2007. THIS PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY PODSHOW AND GODADDY. CHOOSE GODADDY TO RELIABLY HOST ALL OF YOUR DOMAN NAMES. ENTER CODES INSANE1, INSANE2, OR INSANE 3 WHEN YOU CHECK OUT AT GODADDY.COM.

THIS PODCAST FOR EXAMPLE, IS OFFERED IN A 720P HD FORMAT IF YOU GO TO INSANEFILMS720.PODSHOW.COM. ### THERE IS A NEW DISORDER EMERGING FROM THE MURKY DEPTHS OF CORPORATE GREED. IT’S CALLED POPCORN LUNG. ACCORDING TO THE SOCIETY OF ENVIRONMENTAL JOURNALISM, THE EPA, LAST YEAR, *BURIED* A REPORT ON THE HEALTH RISKS FROM THE BUTTERY FLAVORING CALLED DIACETYL. THE MICROWAVE POPCORN FLAVORING PRODUCES AN INCURABLE AND ULTIMATELY FATAL LUNG DISEASE IN WORKERS EXPOSED TO IT OCCUPATIONALLY. WORSE YET, A DOCTOR CAME FORTH WITH THE CASE OF A CONSUMER OF MICROWAVE POPCORN WHO CONTRACTED THE DISEASE. THE EPA TO THIS DAY HAS *NOT RELEASED* THE REPORT TO THE PUBLIC. THE EPA HAS, HOWEVER, GIVEN THE REPORT TO THE POPCORN INDUSTRY. THIS FROM THE SAME EPA WHICH CAUSED THOUSANDS TO GET LUNG DISEASES BY NOT WARNING THEM OF THE DANGERS OF WORKING AT GROUND ZERO. ### DURING HIS PRESS CONFERENCE, THE IDIOT AND CHEAT WAS ASKED IF THERE IS A RISK OF RECESSION. YOU WOULD THINK THAT HE *MIGHT* TAKE THIS QUESTION SERIOUSLY SINCE ONE MILLION AMERICANS LOST THEIR HOMES DUE TO FORECLOSURE IN THE PAST YEAR. INSTEAD THE MORON ANSWERED AS FOLLOWS: QUOTE. YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO TALK TO ECONOMISTS. I THINK I GOT A B IN ECON 101. I GOT AN A, HOWEVER, IN KEEPING TAXES LOW (THE KISS ASS PRESS CORE LAUGHS HERE) AND BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE WITH THE PEOPLE’S MONEY. WE’VE SUBMITTED A PLAN THAT WILL ENABLE THIS BUDGET TO BECOME BALANCED (NOTE THE USE OF PASSIVE VOICE HERE) BY 2012. - JUST IN TIME FOR ANOTHER CORPORATE STOOGE TO BE FORCED INTO THE WHITE HOUSE LIKE THE FECES OF AN ELEPHANT BEING PLUNGED INTO A FRENCH TOILET. BUSH ALSO SAID QUOTE AND WE CAN BALANCE THE BUDGET WITHOUT RAISING TAXES. UNQUOTE. I BELIVE WHAT HE MEANT TO SAY WAS THAT *SOMEONE ELSE* CAN CLEAN UP MY MESS BECAUSE I AM AN SPOILED BRAT WHO NEVER LEARNED TO CLEAN UP HIS ROOM. ### THE PRESIDENT HAS PROMISED TO VETO A BILL WHICH WOULD GUARANTEE HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR ALL CHILDREN WHOSE PARENTS MAKE LESS THAN EIGHTY-THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR. HIS ARGUMENT IS THAT KEEPING CHILDREN FROM DYING OF CURABLE DISEASES WOULD RESULT IN MORE OF, *THAT GREAT EVIL*, GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTHCARE. PUSSY REPORTERS FAILED TO POINT OUT TO BUSH THAT GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE FOR CHILDREN IS BETTER THAN NO HEALTHCARE AT ALL. MICHAEL MOORE HAS CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED THAT IN OTHER COUNTRIES, GOVERNMENTS DO A FAR BETTER AND MORE EFFICIENT JOB AT RUNINNG HEALTHCARE THAN CORPORATIONS WHOSE PRIME MOTIVE IS MAKING MONEY AND HIPOCRITICAL TV COMMERCIALS. MEANWHILE SADISTIC MORON BUSH IS ONCE AGAIN BLACKMAILING CONGRESS. BUSH PUTS CONGRESS AT FAULT FOR PUTTING FORTH A PLAN WHICH THEY KNOW BUSH WILL VETO. ACCORDING TO BUSH, BY ATTEMPTING TO PUSH THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE BILL INSTEAD OF A BILL WHICH PROTECTS INSURANCE COMPANIES AND *NOT* CHILDREN, CONGRESS IS ACTUALLY FORCING ALL S-CHIP COVERAGE TO LAPSE. THAT’S HARD TO FOLLOW. I KNOW. TO PUT IT MORE CLEARLY, THE S-CHIP PROGRAM IS ALREADY IN PLACE BUT CONGRESS WANTS TO DRASTICALLY IMPROVE IT. BUSH WANTS ONLY TO GIVE IT 5% MORE FUNDING SO THAT HE CAN AFFORD TO HAVE HIS POKER BUDDIES FROM BLACKWATER MELT TINY INFANTS TO THEIR MOTHERS WHILE STOPPING AT BAGHDAD STOPLIGHTS. BUT SEE THE S-CHIP PROGRAM RUNS OUT VERY SOON IF IT IS NOT RENEWED. SO BUSH IS SAYING THAT ALL S-CHIP CARE WILL END BECAUSE HE, BUSH, WILL NOT SIGN THE BILL WHICH THE LEGISLATVIE BRANCH OF *OUR* GOVERNEMNT AGREED UPON. ### WHEN ASKED BY THE *PRESS* ABOUT ALAN GREENSPAN’S SCATHING CRITIQUE OF THE PRESIDENT, BUSH SLYLESSLY CHANGED THE SUBJECT TO SOMETHING HE AND GREENSPAN BOTH AGREE ON: GETTING RID OF SOCIAL SECURITY. THE PRESIDENT SAID QUOTE: GREENSPAN AND I SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THE UNFUNDED LIABILITIES INHERENT IN SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE. AND HE’S CONCERNED ABOUT THOSE UNFUNDED LIABILITIES AS AM I. AND THAT’S WHY I WENT IN FRONT OF CONGRESS, TALKING ABOUT HOW TO REFORM SOCIAL SECURITY SO THAT YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING AREN’T PAING PAYROLL TAXES INTO A SYSTEM THAT’S GOING BROKE. UNQUOTE. THIS WAS ANOTHER CIRCULAR STATEMENT FROM OUR C MINUS PRESIDENT. SOCIAL SECURITY IS NOT IN DANGER. IF THESE SO CALLED LIABILITIES CONTINUE TO BE FUNDED, THEN THEY ARE BY DEFINITION NOT UNFUNDED. ARE AMERICANS REALLY STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THIS DRECK? IF SO GET ME ON A BIG JET AIRPLANE. COME ON COME ON. GET GOING. BIG WHEEL KEEP ON TURNING PROUD MARY. COME MOON. BUSH AND THE OTHER ‘YOU *CAN* TAKE IT WITH YOU’ REPUBLICANS WOULD RATHER SOCIAL SECURITY TAXES BE DIVERTED INTO RECKLESSLY MANAGED WALL STREET FUNDS. ### EDITOR AND PUBLISHER- A BLOG I FREQUENTLY QUOTE, POSTED A BIO OF THE MAN WHO GOT TAZERED AT THE JOHN KERRY SPEECH IN FLORIDA. THE BIO REAKED OF THINLY VIELED JEALOUSY. AFTER ALL, ANDREW MEYER RECEIVED AT LEAST HALF A MILLION DOWNLOADS OF HIS VIDEO. THE EDITOR AND PUBLISHER HEADLINE READ QUOTE STUDENT TASERED WHILE QUESTIONING KERRY WAS, OF COURSE, A QUASI-JOURNALIST. UNQUOTE. CAN YOU IMAGINE A MORE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AND INSULTING HEADLINE WHICH NEGATES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HEROIC ACT UNDERTAKEN BY MR MEYER. THE E&P ARTICLE WENT ON TO DISCREDIT ANDREW MEYER BY MENTIONING VARIOUS INTERNET PRANKS WHICH WERE COMPLETELY HARMLESS AND HAD NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH HIS JOURNALISTIC ACTIVITIES. ANDREW MEYER ASKED QUESTIONS THAT NEEDED TO BE ASKED, AND WOULD NOT ACCEPT NO ANSWER AS AN ANSWER. ANDREW MEYER DID WHAT THE SO CALLED REAL JOURNALISTS SHOULD BE DOING, BUT ARE AFRAID TO DO. SO INSTEAD THEY REACT BY PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE JEALOUSY BASED CHARACTER ASSASINATION. WELL, ECLECTIC NEWS BRIEF APPLAUDS ANDREW MEYER FOR TAKING A STAND, AND IF HE IS A QUASI JOURNALIST, WELL I’LL TAKE QUASI-JOURNALISM OVER ‘REAL’ JOURNALISM- KATIE KOURIC AND ALL- ANY DAY OF THE WEEKS. ### OH AND SPEAKING OF JOURNALISM,DAN RATHER, THE VETRAN JOURNALIST WHO WAS REPLACED BY KATIE KOURIC IS SUING CBS FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. DAN RATHER CLAIMS HE WAS FIRED BY CBS IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE WHITE HOUSE. IF TRUE, THIS IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE LAW WHICH FORBIDS PROPAGANDIZING WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. NOT THAT IT ISN’T BEING VIOLATED EVERYWHERE ANYWAY. TIME TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. ### PLEASE SEND COMMENTS, NEWS ITEMS, AND QUESTIONS TO RICHARD@BLUESTEIN.COM. I’M ALSO LOOKING FOR ITNERESTING AND PROVOCATIVE BACKGROUND FOOTAGE FOR THIS SHOW. IF YOU HAVE ORIGINAL CONTENT THAT FITS THE FORMAT OF THIS SHOW, I WILL GLADLY INCLUDE A PROMOTION FOR YOUR BLOG, VLOG, PODCAST OR WHATEVER.

Transcript below… Mark Blevis:  I’m Mark Blevis. Bob Goyetche:  And I’m Bob Goyetche.  Welcome to special coverage of the 2007 edition of Podcasters Across Borders right here on the Canadian Podcast Buffet. Mark Blevis:  This episode is brought to you in part by TD Canada Trust.  Listen at the end of the show to see how you can get a free iPod. Bob Goyetche:  So while you listen to the great sessions from Podcasters Across Borders 2007, keep in mind that Podcasters Across Borders 2008 is June 20 through 22 in Kingston, Ontario once again. Mark Blevis:  Keep following the www.podcastersacrossborders.com and www.canadianpodcastbuffet.ca for details on PAB 2008 registration, hotel room rates, programs and social activities. Bob Goyetche:  On this issue you’re going to hear Arthur Master’s presentation “Context is King”.  Arthur runs the Ottawa Local Podcast at www.ottawalocal.com . Arthur Masters:  Wow am I nervous.  I’ve known about this for months now and I guess much of this speech is gonna come from conversations that I’ve had with Mark Blevis.  One of the nice things about living in Ottawa is that I live just, you know, a minute’s walk from the Arrow & Loon Pub where Mark likes to get together with anyone who’s passing through town.  And it’s easy for me to convince him to stay for an extra drink because he lives around the corner.  And so once everyone else has wondered off back to their homes, we’ll sit around and polish off another couple of pints.  And we get into these really neat conversations.  And if we can remember them in the morning, it winds up on one of his blogs or on one of my podcasts.  So despite that, I am really nervous and, whoa, I just pictured you all naked, that was uncomfortable.  Okay, I want to welcome you all to Podcasters Across Borders but I also want to welcome you all to the future, because what we’re doing right now, this realization of technology, this interconnected community that we have is something which has been predicted by futurists.  Well, will make predictions and we only pay attention to the ones that come true.  Now maybe that’s kind of the shotgun theory, if you send out enough ideas, some of them will hit the bull’s eye and those are the ones that we wind up reading thirty years later.  And that is the case, in that there have been a lot of ideas.  But some people like Marshall McLuhan and Noam Chomsky and Alvin Toffler are futurists that seem to hit it just about every single time.  And I just wanted to…perhaps you’re already aware that we’ve already realized some of these ideas.  But I wanted to just hit on some of these points, so that you can all know what an incredibly exciting thing it is that we’re all participating in here.  And there’s an ancient Chinese curse which says “May you live in interesting times” and I think we are living in the most interesting of times.  People, when they think about the future, we tend to idealize it.  There was this idea once upon a time that we would all travel in tubes, you know, you would get up in the morning and put on your nice crisp shirt that was prepared by the robot maid, and you would leave your house and you’d  get on to this shiny glass steel tube.  And it would shuttle you across the city to your towering office building, where you would perform your terribly important task, punching numbers into a giant calculator, computer sort of machine.  This isn’t how it happened.  In fact, it’s the blue collar workers who take the tube to work in the morning, its people in Toronto who get onto the subway and it’s grimy and it’s noisy.  And it’s not what we thought it would be.  And the same thing applies to the future of technology.  Alvin Toffler described the paperless office almost thirty years ago.  I’ve seen more paper in offices…anyone here? Does anyone here have a paperless office?  No? No, maybe Goggle does, maybe you know, some of those, you know, entirely online businesses do, but no one I know.  But we do have something called iTunes, which is a recordless music store.  And the only thing is he just got the media wrong.  It wasn’t type media, it wasn’t print media, it was another form of media.  And so these things are really becoming true and I don’t think any of the predictions have fallen flat.  I think all of them have some validity.  One of the things that you also have to do when you’re being a futurist and thinking about the future, is you have to re-examine the maxims of today.  What was the environment that we thought we were sitting in?  And when we think about the future, can we go back and re-examine those and redefine them and does it fit the model better?  Well, one of the old maxims of radio has been “content is king”.  And this is the idea that when people tune into the radio, they want to know what time is it? What’s the traffic like? What’s the number one hit song? You’ve got to have this kind of a prioritized list of information.  And I would like to propose that we have left that era and we’ve entered a new one where context is king.  And this isn’t something new, I’m just stealing this from Marshall McLuhan.  And this is his most famous quote.  And I think podcasting realizes that maxim, the idea of context being king, more than any other media that we’ve had so far.  And part of the reason for that is the way that the idea of podcasting has manifested in our minds.   Now I believe it was at the 2000 or 2001 Portable Media Expo that the word first was used.  And someone had been speaking about narrowcasting which, as many of you probably know, is where you’re pulling a file from a website instead of broadcasting it.  And this is what makes podcasting able to circumvent all of the conventions of radio and conventional media.  And someone got up at the end of this conference and perhaps it was something that was…had come up in a conversation or maybe it just came to them.  But they said, well there’s this new iPod product and there’s this narrowcasting.  And those are the two most exciting things here.  And next year, we’ll all probably be podcasting, ha, ha, ha, and it just stuck.  And every single journalist who was there went home and wrote down podcasting, and put that into the article, and the word was born.  But people didn’t understand what podcasting was.  People thought oh, well podcasting is a delivery method.  Well podcasting is the content of what you’re talking about.  And then some people at first were confused because there was so much talk about well, what type of file format? Is this some sort of protocol that I’m just not aware of? And it was just so vague and blurry.  But that did something wonderful.  It combined content and context.  The delivery mechanism was synonymous in peoples’ minds with the content.  And when people first picked up a microphone and figured out how to do it, one of the first things that a lot of people have done, yourselves have done I’m sure, and I know you’ve all heard shows like this, is you talked about how to make your own podcast.  So the content is then giving you the tools and the information on how to use the tools to create more podcasts.  And this is…so listening to a podcast actually primes you for creating a podcast.  And the early version of Podcaster X or iPodder…I think it became Juice.  It was Adam Curry’s baby.  It actually had a program in one of the sub-directories that helped you write RSS feed.  So as soon as you had the tool to listen to it, you also had the tools to make it.  And this struck me as being an extension of this context, the medium is the message realization and this was now part of what Chomsky had described as means and viral means.  And the content of an idea containing the information which is needed to prime people and get them to create more of that, something which is viral, you are infected and then you become a producer as a result of the information.  And it passes itself on that way.  Now I’ve never actually read a lot of Chomsky.  I’ve read People on Chomsky and I’m a big fan of Douglas Rushkoff.  I don’t know if anyone here is familiar with Douglas Rushkoff, a nice Jewish boy from New York.  And he is a cutting edge, frighteningly intelligent futurist who’s…anyway, I just want to recommend if anyone gets a chance go read the book Media Virus.  And it was written in 1993.  But the things he talks about in the book are more and more relevant every day.  One of the things that resulted of this mass explosion of people who we’re being primed and then putting out content was an incredible diversity in subject matter.  Now that diversity…if you want to have a hit, you don’t want diversity, you want mass appeal.  So this has been the depth of the hit as well, having, you know, 800,000 voices all speaking on their own personal areas of expertise.  And this has created a micronization of markets.  Markets which appeal to a single niche.  And if there’s a million people, all who are experts in one particular tiny field like, you know, there’s Jay Mooney who is an expert on capitalizing on…. Mark Blevis:  Maybe your battery died.  Thank you very much to Arthur Masters everybody.  It was going nowhere man. Arthur Masters:  Wait till it gets there. Arthur Masters:  Check - one - two.  Okay, we’re back.  So, as a result of this incredible variety and this medium which actually primes people.  Like, can you imagine if every single person who watched television was suddenly struck with the impetus to go out and create a TV show with the same like rabid drive that podcasters seem to experience it?  You know, we would have a massive explosion.  And if you look at the growth curve and the adoption curve that…it’s hard to get numbers for this year.  Last year, the numbers were spectacular, it was experiencing this kind of zero to 5,000,000 podcast curve and it was really exciting to look at.  But what this means is you have all these people, this incredible diversity, and there’s no focus.  It’s not like podcasters are all computer geeks.  Or podcasters are all on-line music junkies.  Or podcasters are all hobby radio enthusiasts.  You get this whole spectrum.  And you’re not going to find two of the same person or two of the same common experience.  So because of this, you get this incredible micronization, this over-specialization, sometimes to the point where none of us can keep a market of more than 30 listeners to our specific area of interest.  But that’s okay, because we’re satisfying the need of those 30 people.  Now Alvin Toffler…I first heard of Alvin Toffler in 1993.  And I was reading Wired Magazine which was in its second year of publication.  And I think they were only putting out one episode every two months.  And it was really counter-culture, it was edgy, it was anti-big business, it was pro-individual piracy and privacy and anti-big business.  And it was really cutting edge.  And today it’s more corporate and I don’t read it anymore.  But they had Alvin Toffler.  And I didn’t know who Alvin Toffler was but if Wired Magazine had Alvin Toffler, then he must be cool.  And he was talking about in 15 years from 1993, he was saying we’re going to have thousands of channels.  We’re not just going to have a sports channel, we’re going to have a sports channel for every sport.  And at the time, there was still only 30 channels on my television set.  So I don’t know what kind of drugs he’s on or what kind of, you know, crystal ball he’s using.  But his ability to describe the environment that we’re sitting in right now I find mind blowing.  And I’m so excited to be a part of it.  And that’s why I’m here today.  Because I really feel like I am living part of that wild roller coaster ride of ideas that I’ve have been reading about for 30 years.  And it’s so flattering to know that I can participate.  And right on the cusp, in terms of participating and being a podcaster.  Now once you have…now as I mentioned a moment ago, sometimes because of this great diversification, you have this very shallow niche.  And maybe you’ve only got 30 or 60 listeners.  This means that people aren’t doing it for profit.  This means that people are doing it out of a sense of powered by passion, to use, you know, a phrase that Andrea Ross coined.  They’re not doing it for money. They’re doing it out of a sense of volunteerism.  And its very anarchist.  It’s very communist, very socialist in that we’re providing a service which was a paid service.  And we’re doing it out of a sense of, not out of a sense of duty, but out of a sense of fulfillment.  We’re fulfilling a need in our society, in our media.  And to do that, we had to democratize the tools of production and the means of distribution.  And this…when I start to hear phrases like that, and that’s not…I’m not using these, I’m not making those terms up.  That’s…I’m quoting from Chris Anderson in his recent book “The Long Tale”.  He says we had to democratize the tools of production and the means of distribution.  And right away, I’m thinking Carl Marx.  This is the new factory.  This is the electronic factory.  And I’m the worker and I own the factory.  And this is another radical revolution.  You know once I made that realization that I was also living a socialist dream, you know, instead of just voting NDP, I can participate by owning that factory and I am the network.  And I don’t do it for a pay check.  I do it out of a sense of personal fulfillment.  And that spirit is also something that Mark has talked about - the day when people would do away with things like currency which simply re-enforce power structures.  And we would, you know, we would all become sort of renaissance men who had not one job that, you know, perhaps one task which was necessary to perform, but many other tasks that we would perform that society would benefit from.  And there would be no pay scale, there would be no pay structure, there would be no ownership.  And we’re also living in that world, increasingly so.  And I’m going to jump ahead to what I just mentioned, Chris Anderson, “The Long Tale”.  Some of you may have read it.  I wanted to make sure that instead of just bringing a bunch of guys to the table who’d been, you know, had all their theory’s out there for 30 years, I wanted to have someone new and more modern.  And Chris Anderson is perhaps not a futurist, in that he hasn’t been jumping ahead 30 years and saying where we’re going to be.  But he’s…he does a very good job of describing where we are right now.  And he’s the Editor-In-Chief of Wired Magazine.  And despite my feelings that Wired has become kind of a lukewarm corporate sell-out rag, I still respect his opinion.  He’s a very hip guy.  And he introduces an idea that someone mentioned to me the other day, just in conversation, that we have probably left the information age for the communication age.  But we’re getting into a new age here.  Where, because we’ve started to re-enforce the communication structure laterally, rather than just vertically, I mean by vertically, I mean from network to receiver.  Now it’s from podcaster to podcaster, from blogger to blogger.  There’s an increased amount of communication and we have entered into, as a result, the age of referrals.  No longer are we dependent on the top 40 list on Billboard to tell us what’s a hit.  We can go to our friend’s, you know, computer or look at his iPod and we can find the songs we want, even if no one else has heard of them.  And it’s more word-of-mouth.  And we’re now able to filter through all the stuff out there through a system of referrals.  And this is a result of the increased kind of depth of re-enforcements that we’ve had along these lateral communication chains, which is a part of owning the means of production, being able to democratize these tools.   Like, if you want to buy a car, it used to be you went and you bought a copy of  Lemon-Aid.  You know, we all know the book Lemon-Aid.  You know, I’m sure anyone whose bought a new car in the last 10 years or a used car in the last 10 years has probably, you know, looked at a copy or borrowed a copy, or sat in Chapter’s and read a copy.  And the reason that was a great book is because it was a source that you would trust and it was a good referral.  Well now, anyone who’s ever owned any model of car has probably posted a blog.  And if you type in, you know, 2002 Honda Civic 4-Door, you’re probably going to wind up reading a lot peoples’, you know, referrals about whether or not you should buy a 2002 Honda Civic 4-Door.  And this is something that we didn’t have before.  And so it’s taken the power away from the hit-makers, the people who decide what popular culture is.  And this is part of the whole kind of getting that long tale, having niche markets, fewer hits.  And that’s something that’s interesting because it means that I, as a content provider, am not competing as far to get to the top.  It means that people like Julien, who’s here somewhere…there he is.  Julien, you know, 15 years ago, you might not have been able to reach, you know, as many people or get the recognition that you were able to get.  But the context was right for it, and the scene was…the stage was set and everyone was primed.  And there was…it wasn’t as far to go between just being some guy with a mike to being some guy that everybody is listening to.  There was a lot more options and the ground work had been laid with everything that’s been happening with putting the tools of production back in everyone hands.  And that’s sort of thing has been going on for a long time.  If you want to think of it in terms of, you know, in the 1970’s, electric guitars and cheap recording devices, you know, sprung up in every garage.  And instead of being an artist or a performer, you know, with a $1,000,000 studio to back you up, you could play just as well as the Ramones of the Sex Pistols, you know.  And today, with the powers of home studio production, you know, people can produce an album for $15,000, you know.  And those tools are then going on to the next level of communication, the next level that we’re ready to go, you know, beyond music, into news, into video, into audio.  And what this is all doing is it’s…and I really do think of it this way.  We’re hard-wiring ourselves for a network, almost a neural network.  If there’s a drive or an idea that exists in the kind of the podosphere, the online culture, it’s like a neural network, you know.   In the simplest form something like Oprah decides that she likes pagminas.  And within a year, every woman between 35 and 55 owns a pagmina.  You know, it was like a neuron fired and a muscle got pulled, you know, and there was a physical reaction.  People ran out to stores, you know, and started buying these things, you know.  If Mark Blevis says I recommend getting a particular model of solid state recorder, sales for that recorder will actually jump by 2 or 3 sales, you know.  But there’s…but it’s…you actually can affect the world by saying something, having it encoded into an electronic file which is really just a bunch of ones and zeros.  Someone else picks it up and they go and they take action.  That blows my mind, you know.  This is, you know, so we’re slowly kind of laying a network by which we can communicate, and ideas.  And not even a single idea, but a movement, a bunch of people all with the same idea, can really affect change in the world.  And this is laying a network for our collective unconscious, because we’re not always conscious of the effects that we’re creating.  Sometimes it’s a general desire and the way that it manifests is different.  I mean, there’s obviously been a desire for greater communication in an increasingly populous world.  And podcasting has been the manifestation.  The fact that people went out and developed the technology, developed the code, developed, you know, the tools, you know, to allow this to happen.  That’s a manifestation of an unconscious need for a greater communication among a higher density of population.  And so I really feel that we are participating in that hard-wiring of the collective unconscious globally. And something that someone mentioned last night which it occurred to me was really the summation of everything that I’m talking about, because I’m talking about some kind of far out ideas.  And maybe some structural concepts that you can lay over this revolution that we’re all experiencing.  And the wildest one of all is Timothy Leary.  And I didn’t even know this, but I’m familiar with some of his earlier work.  But I didn’t know that…so this is actually unsubstantiated, someone told me this.  So whoever it was, it’s their fault if it’s wrong, not mine.  And he said that on his deathbed, he said that the internet for the next generation would be the LSD of his generation.  Because he and Ken Casey would dose, and Ken Casey would be in San Francisco, Timothy Leary would be in New York.  And they would be able to communicate telepathically, you know, on LSD, sharing streaming audio and video.  And they did this in 1969.  And today, every single kid in America is, instead of high on LSD, they are high on the internet.  They have, you know, a 1,000,000 colours.  And they can create and they imagine something and produce it, you know, within minutes with the tools lying around their bedroom.  And they can alter audio and video, you know, to an amazing degree.  And then share with other people and have one-on-one conversations, have group conversations.  And this is an expansion of consciousness.  This is turn on, tune in, drop out of reality into virtual reality.  It’s better than any drug.  And it’s not the opiate of the masses that television was, you know.  This is something that’s really exciting, you know.  And interactive and hot in terms of how McLuhan would describe it.  And that’s what I wanted to communicate is that like I’m really excited.  I’m, you know, sometimes I feel like I’m hot, you know, when I’m listening to podcasts, you know.  Sometimes I am hot when I’m listening to podcasts, you know.  But it really creates an intense visceral experience, you know, that equates any, you know, other experience I might have had, you know, through use of non-internet technologies.  There’s one guy in particular, just to…I’m going to wrap up in a second. I can see Todd’s been giving me…Mark’s been giving me the countdown.  There’s one guy, Avalanche Radio done by Hector Herrera.  And I always mention the guy.  I don’t think a lot of other Canadian podcasters listen to him, but he’s out of Toronto.  And he’s done a couple of shows where I hit “play” and I had a cup of coffee and I was doing something else.  Maybe I’m playing online poker and reading a book and listening to a podcast all at once.  And suddenly I have to stop everything because this guy, his voice comes on and I’m frozen.  And I close the door and I unplug the phone.  And it’s such an all encompassing experience.  I listen to one of his shows that I have to close my eyes because it’s…I’m just being over stimulated by his show.  And I haven’t had another form of media do that to me in a really long time.  And that’s something that some guy in Toronto is producing out of his basement as an escape from his marriage, you know. He talks about that, it’s an intense show.  But anyway, but that’s the sort of thing, I’ve never been moved by something and it’s really exciting to me that instead of just experiencing it, I can experience it really, wholly, by also becoming a part of it.  And I wanted to invite you all to take that journey yourselves and don’t just produce podcasts, but really revel in the moment.  And know that all of you are doing something really exciting and groundbreaking.  And I want you all to congratulate yourselves for being a part of it.  And next time you podcast and you’re about to hit the button to upload with your FTP, you know, and get it out there, just stop for a moment and think about how far we’ve come.  Thank you. Bob Goyetche:  Thanks Art.  We have a few minutes.  Does anybody have questions for Art while we have him nailed to the podium?  I didn’t realize you had a hand on each arm.  Audience:  Hey Arthur, how are you? Bob Goyetche:  Who are you? Julien Smith:  I’m Julien Smith. Bob Goyetche: From? Julien Smith: In Over Your Head, never heard of it.  I just want to say this is spectacular, everything that you’re saying right here, because this is everything that podcasting used to be about. Arthur Masters: Exactly. Julien Smith: Right, you remember Bob? Bob Goyetche: Yeah. Julien Smith: You remember.  But it’s not very much like that anymore, but those…I mean, I don’t know, I still remember, right?  So, and Bob still remembers, you know. Bob Goyetche: What?  I can’t hear you. Julien Smith: Hello, hello.  So anyway, next time that you have a conversation with Mark in Ottawa like this, call me. I’ll take a bus, I don’t give a damn. No, seriously, this is what it’s all about.  And it’s like, we all need to return to what this is and how spectacular and how revolutionary all this was. Arthur Masters:  Year One, Year One was wild, like I remember listening with bated breath on the edge of my seat to Don and Drew. I don’t listen to Don and Drew anymore. Julien Smith:  But I mean, no, seriously, we’re listening to it and going wow, these people are just sitting on their couch talking for 45 minutes and I’m listening to them. Arthur Masters: I have a virtual trophy, I have an e-mail that Drew Domkus sent me in response to me going,hey, nice show. Julien Smith: Yeah, right, exactly. Like hold on, wait, a personal connection, wow.  So anyway I just wanted to say, I mean this is a great way to open a thing, because this is why we’re all here.  I mean that’s why I’m still here, you know what I mean? Arthur Masters: Yeah. Julien Smith: Cheers. Arthur Masters:  Thank you. Bob Goyetche:  Julien brings up a great point because my first exposure to Julien was because Julien and I, we both started in 2004.  And my first exposure to Julien was listening to his show.  He said, I mentioned you on my show.  You have a show?  There’s another show in Montreal? And, yeah, there’s these two old guys talk about music and stuff, they’re cool.  And then he swore a couple of times.  And that was, you know, that’s what it was.  You just communicate, you know, and I’m listening for the first time to his show and I hear my show back because we were just grabbing each other’s audio and passing it back and forth.  And that’s gone a bit and that’s too bad. Julien Smith:  Do you remember the first time that like…does anyone here remember the first time they heard someone else talk about their show?  Yeah? And you get this like he, he, he.  Yeah, I still get that sometimes.  Should we pass the mike? Bob Goyetche:  Two minutes… Julien Smith: Two minutes… Bob Goyetche:  Anybody?  Well, thank you Art.  Great talk, great start to the day.

(Are you listening ASU ?): (1) Knowledge of business operations - If you don’t know how a business works and especially, how it makes money, you cannot succeed in PR. Period. Public perception is the ultimate referendum on good business operations or the ultimate check against poor operations. You need to be in a position to know your client’s business as well as the client does in order to advocate and deliver. (2) Personal relationships – Smart content and distribution only get you so far. For best results, it is always who you know. Everything else is a cold call. That’s right: you’re a whore on Information Blvd. whispering “Hey baby, want some sugar?” at passing journalists. (3) Knowledge of consumer behavior — No consumers, no business. Wrong consumers, no business. Who target consumers are, how they think and how to reach them — especially on the Internet — is the lynchpin of PR. (4) Strategy – “Every battle is won before it is fought” — Sun Tzu “The Art of War” . If you’re not strategic, you’re simply tactical. Anyone can be tactical — it’s called telemarketing — or spamming. You’ll win some battles but always lose the war for media and consumer attention. Noone plans to fail, they fail to plan. (5) A great attitude. “If you think you can or can’t, you’re right” — Henry Ford . A can-do attitude is simply unchanneled passion. A great attitude builds confidence and trust, even if the end result is a loss. You always get hired on attitude, not skill. (6) Journalism skills – PR pros are essentially corporate journalists with sales responsibilities. You have to think and write lik journalists in order to out-think them and write stories they want to write themselves. This is why the best PR pros are generally former journalists, especially those who go to work for major corporations. (7) Rhetoric and negotiation skills — You need to know how to argue well and properly break down an argument into premises and conclusions. You need to know how to negotiate (fight) beyond one round. And to play poker and call bullshit . This is a sure-fire recipe for another important quality: thick skin. (8) Focus — PR is a non-linear, fast paced business with an ever-changing environment. It requires a lot of juggling — the kind with fire sticks. Good “jugglers” must focus on tasks at hand, stay calm and organized and know when to switch gears.

ENB #36 Popcorn Lung, Bush’s Latest Moronic Press Conference, Passive Aggressive Tazing, Bush’s New Math, Dan Rather Artwork by Roger Smalls direct link to small ipod version of show transcript: HELLO I’M RICHARD BLUESTEIN AND THIS IS THE ECLECTIC NEWS BRIEF FOR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2007. THIS PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY PODSHOW AND GODADDY. CHOOSE GODADDY TO RELIABLY HOST ALL OF YOUR DOMAN NAMES. ENTER CODES INSANE1, INSANE2, OR INSANE 3 WHEN YOU CHECK OUT AT GODADDY.COM.

THIS PODCAST FOR EXAMPLE, IS OFFERED IN A 720P HD FORMAT IF YOU GO TO INSANEFILMS720.PODSHOW.COM. ### THERE IS A NEW DISORDER EMERGING FROM THE MURKY DEPTHS OF CORPORATE GREED. IT’S CALLED POPCORN LUNG. ACCORDING TO THE SOCIETY OF ENVIRONMENTAL JOURNALISM, THE EPA, LAST YEAR, *BURIED* A REPORT ON THE HEALTH RISKS FROM THE BUTTERY FLAVORING CALLED DIACETYL. THE MICROWAVE POPCORN FLAVORING PRODUCES AN INCURABLE AND ULTIMATELY FATAL LUNG DISEASE IN WORKERS EXPOSED TO IT OCCUPATIONALLY. WORSE YET, A DOCTOR CAME FORTH WITH THE CASE OF A CONSUMER OF MICROWAVE POPCORN WHO CONTRACTED THE DISEASE. THE EPA TO THIS DAY HAS *NOT RELEASED* THE REPORT TO THE PUBLIC. THE EPA HAS, HOWEVER, GIVEN THE REPORT TO THE POPCORN INDUSTRY. THIS FROM THE SAME EPA WHICH CAUSED THOUSANDS TO GET LUNG DISEASES BY NOT WARNING THEM OF THE DANGERS OF WORKING AT GROUND ZERO. ### DURING HIS PRESS CONFERENCE, THE IDIOT AND CHEAT WAS ASKED IF THERE IS A RISK OF RECESSION. YOU WOULD THINK THAT HE *MIGHT* TAKE THIS QUESTION SERIOUSLY SINCE ONE MILLION AMERICANS LOST THEIR HOMES DUE TO FORECLOSURE IN THE PAST YEAR. INSTEAD THE MORON ANSWERED AS FOLLOWS: QUOTE. YOU KNOW YOU NEED TO TALK TO ECONOMISTS. I THINK I GOT A B IN ECON 101. I GOT AN A, HOWEVER, IN KEEPING TAXES LOW (THE KISS ASS PRESS CORE LAUGHS HERE) AND BEING FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE WITH THE PEOPLE’S MONEY. WE’VE SUBMITTED A PLAN THAT WILL ENABLE THIS BUDGET TO BECOME BALANCED (NOTE THE USE OF PASSIVE VOICE HERE) BY 2012. - JUST IN TIME FOR ANOTHER CORPORATE STOOGE TO BE FORCED INTO THE WHITE HOUSE LIKE THE FECES OF AN ELEPHANT BEING PLUNGED INTO A FRENCH TOILET. BUSH ALSO SAID QUOTE AND WE CAN BALANCE THE BUDGET WITHOUT RAISING TAXES. UNQUOTE. I BELIVE WHAT HE MEANT TO SAY WAS THAT *SOMEONE ELSE* CAN CLEAN UP MY MESS BECAUSE I AM AN SPOILED BRAT WHO NEVER LEARNED TO CLEAN UP HIS ROOM. ### THE PRESIDENT HAS PROMISED TO VETO A BILL WHICH WOULD GUARANTEE HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE FOR ALL CHILDREN WHOSE PARENTS MAKE LESS THAN EIGHTY-THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR. HIS ARGUMENT IS THAT KEEPING CHILDREN FROM DYING OF CURABLE DISEASES WOULD RESULT IN MORE OF, *THAT GREAT EVIL*, GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTHCARE. PUSSY REPORTERS FAILED TO POINT OUT TO BUSH THAT GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE FOR CHILDREN IS BETTER THAN NO HEALTHCARE AT ALL. MICHAEL MOORE HAS CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED THAT IN OTHER COUNTRIES, GOVERNMENTS DO A FAR BETTER AND MORE EFFICIENT JOB AT RUNINNG HEALTHCARE THAN CORPORATIONS WHOSE PRIME MOTIVE IS MAKING MONEY AND HIPOCRITICAL TV COMMERCIALS. MEANWHILE SADISTIC MORON BUSH IS ONCE AGAIN BLACKMAILING CONGRESS. BUSH PUTS CONGRESS AT FAULT FOR PUTTING FORTH A PLAN WHICH THEY KNOW BUSH WILL VETO. ACCORDING TO BUSH, BY ATTEMPTING TO PUSH THROUGH A COMPREHENSIVE BILL INSTEAD OF A BILL WHICH PROTECTS INSURANCE COMPANIES AND *NOT* CHILDREN, CONGRESS IS ACTUALLY FORCING ALL S-CHIP COVERAGE TO LAPSE. THAT’S HARD TO FOLLOW. I KNOW. TO PUT IT MORE CLEARLY, THE S-CHIP PROGRAM IS ALREADY IN PLACE BUT CONGRESS WANTS TO DRASTICALLY IMPROVE IT. BUSH WANTS ONLY TO GIVE IT 5% MORE FUNDING SO THAT HE CAN AFFORD TO HAVE HIS POKER BUDDIES FROM BLACKWATER MELT TINY INFANTS TO THEIR MOTHERS WHILE STOPPING AT BAGHDAD STOPLIGHTS. BUT SEE THE S-CHIP PROGRAM RUNS OUT VERY SOON IF IT IS NOT RENEWED. SO BUSH IS SAYING THAT ALL S-CHIP CARE WILL END BECAUSE HE, BUSH, WILL NOT SIGN THE BILL WHICH THE LEGISLATVIE BRANCH OF *OUR* GOVERNEMNT AGREED UPON. ### WHEN ASKED BY THE *PRESS* ABOUT ALAN GREENSPAN’S SCATHING CRITIQUE OF THE PRESIDENT, BUSH SLYLESSLY CHANGED THE SUBJECT TO SOMETHING HE AND GREENSPAN BOTH AGREE ON: GETTING RID OF SOCIAL SECURITY. THE PRESIDENT SAID QUOTE: GREENSPAN AND I SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT THE UNFUNDED LIABILITIES INHERENT IN SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE. AND HE’S CONCERNED ABOUT THOSE UNFUNDED LIABILITIES AS AM I. AND THAT’S WHY I WENT IN FRONT OF CONGRESS, TALKING ABOUT HOW TO REFORM SOCIAL SECURITY SO THAT YOUNG PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING AREN’T PAING PAYROLL TAXES INTO A SYSTEM THAT’S GOING BROKE. UNQUOTE. THIS WAS ANOTHER CIRCULAR STATEMENT FROM OUR C MINUS PRESIDENT. SOCIAL SECURITY IS NOT IN DANGER. IF THESE SO CALLED LIABILITIES CONTINUE TO BE FUNDED, THEN THEY ARE BY DEFINITION NOT UNFUNDED. ARE AMERICANS REALLY STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THIS DRECK? IF SO GET ME ON A BIG JET AIRPLANE. COME ON COME ON. GET GOING. BIG WHEEL KEEP ON TURNING PROUD MARY. COME MOON. BUSH AND THE OTHER ‘YOU *CAN* TAKE IT WITH YOU’ REPUBLICANS WOULD RATHER SOCIAL SECURITY TAXES BE DIVERTED INTO RECKLESSLY MANAGED WALL STREET FUNDS. ### EDITOR AND PUBLISHER- A BLOG I FREQUENTLY QUOTE, POSTED A BIO OF THE MAN WHO GOT TAZERED AT THE JOHN KERRY SPEECH IN FLORIDA. THE BIO REAKED OF THINLY VIELED JEALOUSY. AFTER ALL, ANDREW MEYER RECEIVED AT LEAST HALF A MILLION DOWNLOADS OF HIS VIDEO. THE EDITOR AND PUBLISHER HEADLINE READ QUOTE STUDENT TASERED WHILE QUESTIONING KERRY WAS, OF COURSE, A QUASI-JOURNALIST. UNQUOTE. CAN YOU IMAGINE A MORE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AND INSULTING HEADLINE WHICH NEGATES THE IMPORTANCE OF THE HEROIC ACT UNDERTAKEN BY MR MEYER. THE E&P ARTICLE WENT ON TO DISCREDIT ANDREW MEYER BY MENTIONING VARIOUS INTERNET PRANKS WHICH WERE COMPLETELY HARMLESS AND HAD NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH HIS JOURNALISTIC ACTIVITIES. ANDREW MEYER ASKED QUESTIONS THAT NEEDED TO BE ASKED, AND WOULD NOT ACCEPT NO ANSWER AS AN ANSWER. ANDREW MEYER DID WHAT THE SO CALLED REAL JOURNALISTS SHOULD BE DOING, BUT ARE AFRAID TO DO. SO INSTEAD THEY REACT BY PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE JEALOUSY BASED CHARACTER ASSASINATION. WELL, ECLECTIC NEWS BRIEF APPLAUDS ANDREW MEYER FOR TAKING A STAND, AND IF HE IS A QUASI JOURNALIST, WELL I’LL TAKE QUASI-JOURNALISM OVER ‘REAL’ JOURNALISM- KATIE KOURIC AND ALL- ANY DAY OF THE WEEKS. ### OH AND SPEAKING OF JOURNALISM,DAN RATHER, THE VETRAN JOURNALIST WHO WAS REPLACED BY KATIE KOURIC IS SUING CBS FOR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. DAN RATHER CLAIMS HE WAS FIRED BY CBS IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE WHITE HOUSE. IF TRUE, THIS IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE LAW WHICH FORBIDS PROPAGANDIZING WITHIN THE UNITED STATES. NOT THAT IT ISN’T BEING VIOLATED EVERYWHERE ANYWAY. TIME TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. ### PLEASE SEND COMMENTS, NEWS ITEMS, AND QUESTIONS TO RICHARD@BLUESTEIN.COM. I’M ALSO LOOKING FOR ITNERESTING AND PROVOCATIVE BACKGROUND FOOTAGE FOR THIS SHOW. IF YOU HAVE ORIGINAL CONTENT THAT FITS THE FORMAT OF THIS SHOW, I WILL GLADLY INCLUDE A PROMOTION FOR YOUR BLOG, VLOG, PODCAST OR WHATEVER. I’M RICHARD BLUESTEIN AND DIT WAS HET NIEWS. #### Tags: Popcorn , Lung, , Bush , Latest , Moronic , Press , Conference, , Passive , Aggressive , Tazing, , Bush , New , Math, , Dan , Rather Goalie Wow. Jeff Cutler reaches 25 episodes. OK, really 24 because I think we skipped #13. Call us - 201-793-8255 or drop us an email - podcast@bowlofcheese.com And take a moment to look at our blogs... http://www.jeffcutler.com http://www.bowlofcheese.com http://www.thingstoworryabout.com Here's today's podcast... For some people, setting goals is driven by their situation. They are less free - in my opinion - to make decisions that contribute to their happiness and more prone to choose 'tasks' or paths that others strongly influence. If I were still married, I imagine that many of my decisions would follow the whims and wishes of my wife. I'd be less free to jump on opportunities like a free Six Flags Day from Scion or Podcamp Boston. Doing tasks around the house would become a stronger focus and the me generation might face extinction. Fortunately, I'm extremely easy-going and not at all obsessive. My journey through life is in no large way adjusted because of external drivers...it's essentially a live life and enjoy it philosophy. That's why the cat decision is very difficult. While I might joke about skinning and dining on cats, that isn't how I really feel about these cute creatures. From Rags to Nick to Huckleberry, all the cats in my life have been (or will be) full-fledged members of the family. I can assure you I won't creating a Michael Vick-esque den of catfighting (I'll let the women in offices all over this great country of ours do that). But a new cat is definitely going to be a change for me. Primarily, a cat is a little more needy than a goldfish or plant and slightly less needy than an infant. So dropping everything and riding my scooter to Florida for three months is going to be a little less realistic. And my penchant for shutting off the heat in the house will probably have to stop during the winter months. But the things I gain will more than make up for the slight crimp in my lifestyle. My main concern is that my cat will want more attention than me or have an OCD mentality. So prepare yourself. In this space you're soon going to hear about cute little kitten adventures and be subject to innumerable photos of kitten cuteness. But while kittens are fun, this column is about goals. To that end, on Tuesday I listed out a few 2007-2008 goals and I'd like to share the majority of them here. The world-domination plan gets a little convoluted, so I'll save that for its own post. 1 - Invent a device that is similar to an iPhone but just plays music 2 - Write a joke for David Letterman 3 - Keep up with all my blogging and podcasting (this current post kills two birds...NO, there is no killing of pets in this blog) 4 - Cultivate some more clients who want me to write Dave Barry and David Sedaris type columns 5 - Win more cash via assorted lotteries (last night I hit Keno for $452, really!) 6 - Buy a scooter (you didn't see that coming?) 7 - Take some serious steps toward home renovations (would like to go from 923 sf to 2300 sf...maybe I just need to put some mirrors on the walls to open up the space) 8 - Land a writing assignment for the 2008 Tour de France 9 - Be more visionary in nature and convert that to billions and billions of dollars 10 - Pay a tiny bit more attention to the world around me (contrary to my miniature amount of self-focus, I would like to remember the birthdays of my nieces and nephews and siblings and parents and girlfriend as well as major holidays like Yom Kippur and July 4th and Talk Like a Pirate Day) So, with those lofty goals in mind I'm off to play poker tonight and generate funds to help me achieve my dream. I urge you to do the same. More to come... PAB2007 - Arthur Masters Download PAB2007 - Arthur Masters Context is King: Re-examining Conventional Wisdom for an Unconventional Media presented at PAB2007 by Arthur Masters . Learn about the idea of ‘Context is King’, other shifted paradigms and the realization of theories by media futurists including McLuhan (Hot and Cold Media), Alvin Toffler (predicted granular micronization of niche markets circa 1995), and even Jung’s ideas about the collective unconscious, and how the interconnectedness of communication media has begun to actualize it.

Transcript below… Mark Blevis:  I’m Mark Blevis. Bob Goyetche:  And I’m Bob Goyetche.  Welcome to special coverage of the 2007 edition of Podcasters Across Borders right here on the Canadian Podcast Buffet. Mark Blevis:  This episode is brought to you in part by TD Canada Trust.  Listen at the end of the show to see how you can get a free iPod. Bob Goyetche:  So while you listen to the great sessions from Podcasters Across Borders 2007, keep in mind that Podcasters Across Borders 2008 is June 20 through 22 in Kingston, Ontario once again. Mark Blevis:  Keep following the www.podcastersacrossborders.com and www.canadianpodcastbuffet.ca for details on PAB 2008 registration, hotel room rates, programs and social activities. Bob Goyetche:  On this issue you’re going to hear Arthur Master’s presentation “Context is King”.  Arthur runs the Ottawa Local Podcast at www.ottawalocal.com . Arthur Masters:  Wow am I nervous.  I’ve known about this for months now and I guess much of this speech is gonna come from conversations that I’ve had with Mark Blevis.  One of the nice things about living in Ottawa is that I live just, you know, a minute’s walk from the Arrow & Loon Pub where Mark likes to get together with anyone who’s passing through town.  And it’s easy for me to convince him to stay for an extra drink because he lives around the corner.  And so once everyone else has wondered off back to their homes, we’ll sit around and polish off another couple of pints.  And we get into these really neat conversations.  And if we can remember them in the morning, it winds up on one of his blogs or on one of my podcasts.  So despite that, I am really nervous and, whoa, I just pictured you all naked, that was uncomfortable.  Okay, I want to welcome you all to Podcasters Across Borders but I also want to welcome you all to the future, because what we’re doing right now, this realization of technology, this interconnected community that we have is something which has been predicted by futurists.  Well, people will make predictions and we only pay attention to the ones that come true.  Now maybe
