It's a quicky. Happy everything, everybody! We we're going to get one out sooner, but it's tough when one of you is on the opposite coast. So it's just me, saying a quick hello. Hope you and yours are well, and we'll both talk to you next week. Peter Show notes:

On this week's show: it's our tenthenial spectacular! In honor of ten fully-fledged shows and the end of the broadcast semester here at WXBC, we're featuring music by people we know in person. Listen in as we showcase the vocal and instrumental stylings of Negative Sleep Machine, Mist of the Maelstrom (however you pronounce it), Opium Rose, Rye Desylva (bass player extraordinare), and our most recent friends, Shagg. This was the last show from WXBC until school starts up again in late January, but fear not! SarahKat and I will brave the long distance between us to record a show, with luck, every week-just the way we know you like it. We'll se if our personal equipment sounds better or worse the the studio. Which reminds me: if you have any clue as to how to build a preamp using an op-amp, drop me a line. Please. The quality of the show is at stake! you know where: jesusradio@gmail.com. Peter (PS, Ok, so the show's quite late this week. That's exams for you.) Show notes:

This week's show is all SarahKat. I'm off at rehearsal for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and can't make the show. That's ok: SarahKat does a fine job on her own. Better than my attempts without her. Sigh. SarahKat announces a new contest in this episode: What do we look like? Email us your best guess and you might win...something. I've got my own contest up my sleeve-more on that next week. Peter (PS, this is the first show I've managed to post the day it's recorded! Go me! Ahem.) Show notes:

Due to thanksgiving break, this show was recorded on the 20th along with the last one. Therefore, if something huge and important happened between then and now, like the pope turning into a unicycle, we won't mention it. But then, it's probably getting plenty of coverage. Peter Show notes:

It's Thanksgiving next week, so the station is taking some time off. Not to worry-we recorded two shows this week! It worked out pretty well, but my voice sounds like crap for some reason. I think someone was fiddling with the settings on my mic channel. That's the trouble with sharing equipment with a whole radio station staff. And yes, the show's up later than usual. I'm back home for break and, sadly, home is where the broadband isn't. Peter Show notes:

It's geek rock week here at Jesus on the Radio. Not much to say up here, which is good, since I mostly talk about our technical foibles in this note. So listen to the show-I think we've finally got it working. And while you're here, add yourself to our listener map. Or, even better, leave us a quick comment at (206) 339-JOTR. Or both! We just want to know that you're listening, because, gosh darn it, podcasting's just so much cooler that way. And you wouldn't want to make podcasting uncool, would you? Would you? Peter Show notes:

On this week's show we feature Shagg, that smooth, jazzy, rocking septet from Brooklyn, NY. We just received their album, "Buh Ba Ba Ba", which we played one track off of a couple weeks ago. These guys totally rock. Check out their site and get the album, or download it from iTunes. This isn't just a few singles wrapped in elevator music; the album is strong from start to finish. As for the stereo troubles (for those on the edge of their seats), it turns out they never went away. I set my computer to play music mono on the left channel, which is the only channel that the mixer is picking up (for whatever reason). Turns out my computer thought that meant to only play the left half of the songs. Why does it even have that lever? Who knows. From now on I'll try outputting in stereo and using the "mono" setting on the mixer. We'll see if it makes a difference. Oh, and when I complain about the mic in this week's show, it's because someone broke the mic clip, and the mic keeps falling out. Which wouldn't be so bad, but the mic stand is somewhat spring-loaded. Which means that if the mic stops holding it down, it will fly straight up in the air. And if I'm speaking into the mic at the time...ouch. There was a red mark on my face all day. That's the kind of sacrifice I make for this show. Peter Show notes:

Well, this was quite a show. Steve drops in for an afternoon with Jesus. Except Jesus isn't really on the show. It's just a Guster song. Get it? Oh, whatever. The left-channel problem should be fixed now. The podcast will have to be in mono for now, but at least you'll hear the the right and left mixed together, like mono should be. I only wish that we could have played Deformo's "Stop and Go Station". They probably wouldn't have cared, but it's the principle of the matter. Still... I don't wanna be Jesus. / Wolomah! / I don't wanna be Jesus. / Uh-huh, uh-huh. Peter (PS, the contest is still open. The game is played by rolling a small, hard ball up a curved ramp, then shooting it in the air with a rifle. Be the first to name that game and you win!) (PPS, as always, we'd absolutely love to hear from you on our comment line at (206) 339-JOTR. Really. You never call. You never write. But it's alright, you're busy, we understand. Maybe a few seconds, though, you could could call, just to say hello. But you're busy, it's ok. We know you love us. You don't need to make an effort to show it. So don't call. We'll be fine. All we want is that you should be happy. That's all.) Show notes:

SarahKat is back! The show gets much more interesting this week. We introduce a contest, formally present our new listener comment line (206-339-JOTR), and play some frickin' awesome music. Only one problem. As I surmised last week, the right channel is, in fact, completely missing. It's nowhere to be found. Instead, we have a copy of the left channel wearing a deceptive right-channel suit. Don't be fooled-it's not the real deal. I'll look into the problem. In the mean time, the upshot is that until we get it fixed, the show will be in mono, and for this show some songs are missing bits. It should sound fairly normal, but the mashup is sadly missing some cool loops that play mainly on the right. Oh, well. Peter (PS, Please do give us a call on our comment line (206-339-JOTR). We want this communication this to be a two-way street!) :) Show notes:

Kat was away this week, so you get to hear what I sound like all alone, without an ounce of banter in sight. It's pretty pathetic, actually. More pathetic than I actually felt. You know how hard it is to have energy when you're talking in a room by yourself? Part of the problem is the board. We've got nice little meters that tell us how loud we are, but judging from feedback we've gotten during the show, we sound best when we're in the red zone on the meters. I don't think they're supposed to work like that. We'll just have to work at it. As usual, show notes are below. And as always, feedback is much more than welcome, either as comments to this entry, by email at jesusradio@gmail.com, or by leaving a message at (206) 339-JOTR. And again, if I sound pathetic, don't worry. It's just the mic. Peter (PS, I think the right channel isn't being recorded or streamed. I don't know why, but we'll look into it. I hope the music doesn't suffer too much for it.) Show notes:

It's the first ever real live Jesus on the Radio podcast! Except it's not live. It is, however, real. Sadly, SarahKat and I were both a little sick, both a little tired, and both a little rusty, so we may sound a bit out of it. Do not adjust your player. We are attempting to control the transmission. It's only a northern podcast. How do you get the show? Well, you can get it manually off of this page, but that's a pain. The enlightened among us perfer a podcast aggregator. That's a handy piece of software that checks the site for you and downloads new shows automatically. The classic "podcatcher" is iPodder Lemon. Some other clients are listed here. Also, since version 4.9, iTunes supports podcasting. Until we get listed on the Music Store, you'll have to go to "Advanced->Subscribe to Feed...". My personal favorite for podcatching is Odeo, a website where you can manage your podcast subscriptions online, and then sync everything to iTunes or another player. Many text RSS readers now support podcasting too, if you already use one. If that last sentence was gibberish to you, ignore it. I'm not going to go into how to subscribe to a podcast in each of these; you'll have to look at the directions for your aggregator of choice. At some point, though, you'll need to enter our RSS feed URL. See the little "RSS 2.0" logo on the sidebar? It's linked to the RSS feed. Right- or control-click it and click "Copy link" or some such. You've now copied the address. Paste it into your aggregator wherever it goes. If you manage to get the show, congratulations! If you're still confused, I don't blame you. Email jesusradio@gmail.com with some info about what you've tried, and we'll hook you up. Thanks for bearing with me for all that. Good luck getting the show, and thanks for making the effort.
