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:
