The Unblinking Ear Podcast: What To Do

I suspect most of you listen to this podcast giving your full undivided attention, likely staring at a blank wall in your unclean, under furnished apartment.

However, if you'd like to do something to occupy yourself while hearing the podcast, listener (NAME REDACTED) has some suggestions for you. All of these will be fine until your boyfriend comes home and he'll want to watch wrestling. You might be able to persuade to keep it on mute though, as whatever I happen to be playing on any given edition of this podcast is surely more tolerable than having to hear Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler.

Incidentally, there's no truth to the rumor that the Unblinking Ear Podcast syncs up perfectly to Golden Girls ala Darkside of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast: Hermitude

(Above: The view outside my apartment.)

Doing this podcast on a weekly basis works out fairly well when I decide I'm not going to leave my apartment for an entire weekend.

This is not due to some isolationist/perfectionist impulse but rather because it's 20 degrees colder than it should be for any living thing it exist here in New York City.

However, if you listen to this podcast and come to the conclusion that I put a lot of extra time into it, feel free to continue to think that.

The Unblinking Ear Podcast: What I'm Into

(2010 isn't over. You shouldn't even be done with your advent calendar yet.)

Periodically, people ask me what I've been listening to lately. This kind of puts me on the spot as I try to cycle through everything I've listened to in the past few weeks and which of it might be appropriate or attractive to the speaker. Ultimately, it usually provokes a semi-hostile, passive aggressive reaction from me such as "I don't know! Stuff!"

Besides, I do a fairly regular podcast and maintain a music blog. What I'm digging at any particular time is a matter of public record. It's only a few clicks away if you own a computer. I can't do all the work for you people.

Incidentally, this is not a best of 2010 podcast. That will be the next one. Yes, I'll be condensing all the music I've liked best in the past year into a single download. How much more convenient does it get?

So the next time you see me out in public, just compliment what I'm wearing or something. We can talk about music. Just try and keep the topic narrow. And buy me a drink.
