HAPPY NUDE YEAR!!

You know, it's hard to squeeze 30 minutes of irrelevance and irreverence into less then 26 minutes, but I did it.  A great big Stevie Z thank you goes out to Bob and Mark at Canadian Podcast Buffet for their listing and their mention.  Good to see people who take an interest in the Canadian Podcasting community and want to build it.  Speaking of which, look for the next episode to be an All-Canadian affair, featuring music from my favourite singer-songwriter, whom just happens to be a fellow Canuck.

On Today's Show:

A funky shakin' number from The Thing in Itself called The Thing That Can't be Taken Away

A brief-as-possible, un-geeky-as-possible rundown of the equipment and software that I use to record this mess....errrr....podcast.  The Main Brain behind the outfit (equipment-wise, of course) is the TonePort UX2.  Here's where you can find out more info about it.

An explanation as to why what I SAID I was going to put in Episode 002 wasn't actually all in there.

A really, really, really, REALLY bad song.  With a couple of questions as to "What the hey"? Hey, if you really like it, you can probably get it here.

What's the connection with Celine Dion, hot dogs, and Grover from Sesame Street ??

FYI, that photo is my other cat, Sushi.  She too, is sometimes a little intense....

Oh yeah, PS, and by the way, no interview with CBC Potentate Shelagh Rogers.  Yet.

Take Luck!

The attached podcast contains no msg.  BUT, it is high in glucofunomine.  Sorry it took so long to get this one out....it was a little like giving birth this time.  Trust me, you do NOT want to have to clean up the mess at Sieve HQ.  Not to toot my own horn however (put your own joke in there, I'm too tired) but I do believe that this may be one of the best intros in the history of podcasting.  Well, okay, the history of my show, anyways.  Hooray for Digital Audio Editing, or DAE as I like to call it (pronounced "DUH").

There were 2 glaring errors in this weeks podcast.....first one that spots em gets a cookie.  Sorry, but that's what happens when you start recording a podcast and don't finish until 3 days later. 

Definitely on the show, however, are a couple of fantastic songs from Nashville Singer / Songwriter Kim Mclean.  You can check out her stuff at her website.  The first song of hers is called Pearl, and the second one is Angels and Eagles.  Check out the lady doing backup vocals on that one. 

Also, another great high-energy gem from Jonathan Coulton.  He can still be found at his website.  This one's called (and it's one of the greatest song titles EVER!)  "Dance, Soterius Johnson Dance"

No interviews with Shelagh Rogers this time though.  Maybe next time, we'll have to wait and see.

Here's a couple of time-wasters to check out while you listen to the merriment and music that is The Sieve:

This guys makes some of the coolest looking guitars and amps.  Ever.

Are you sure the Chinese Characters on your tattoo are correct ?

And that'll about wrap this one up.  Don't worry though, I'm already working on number 004.   Shhhh......it's okay little one.....rest your weary head......shhhhhhh......

Can Ya Smell it??  Can Ya See it?  Can Ya Feel it?

It's a new podcast...bein' brewed up right now.  In fact, I'm about half done as we speak.  Another couple of hours it'll be finished and posted.  Heck, if I wasn't wasting so much time right now doing this blog post to let you know I was doing it, it'd be done by now.

Hey, wait a minute.......
