Just because you have families, and jobs, and important paying things to do is no reason to stop entertaining us with kickass podcasting.

Hell, I think we’d all settle for a Skype show if you guys can find the time.

These are the lyrics as I hear them.

avoidance is not an art
throw my troubles in a box and bury them in the yard
packed with dirt, packed down hard
go inside for the day, hope i never see them again
but then comes spring
blossoming
up they grow, call them weeds
i know i say the dandelions are beautiful
take them inside
there they are in front of me
all my troubles now as weeds

but it’s so cold out in december
never would i wait
no summer to come
but it’s so cold out in december
never would i pray
no summer to come
hate how i look in my summer clothes
hate how i look in my summer clothes
arms and legs all sticking out, man i’m so exposed
arms and legs all sticking out, i’m already exposed

denial is not an art
throw my troubles in a box and bury them in the yard
packed with dirt, packed down hard
go inside for the day, hope i never see them again
but then comes spring
blossoming
up they grow, call them weeds
i know i say the dandelions are beautiful
take them inside

but it’s so cold out in december
never would i wait
no summer to come
but it’s so cold out in december
never would i pray
no summer to come
hate how i look in my summer clothes
hate how i look in my summer clothes
arms and legs all sticking out, man i’m so exposed
arms and legs all sticking out, i’m already exposed

Great show as always! So I sent a three part novella via your inboxes, hopefully you get it before NuMusic 88! Happy April to everyone across the pond, hope packing goes well!

Take care,
Alex (formerly known as Cougar)

I work at Sarathan Records, an indie record label in Seattle, WA. I looked over your website and took a listen to some of your play lists. You’ve got some good rock/heavy pop stuff on there like Animal Collective. I thought I’d toss you a track by a band called War Tapes. They’ve got an interesting rock/pop sound that I think you’d appreciate.

Here you can download a tune from their debut LP, The Continental Divide, set to be released on May 26th!

If you’ll humor me for a moment with this brief bragcast, earlier this month, two War Tapes songs were played on Carson Daly Show five times. Four War Tapes songs (including two live performances) were also recently featured on Greek, on ABC family. There are some very developments for War Tapes in the works, and I’ll be sure to keep you posted. (That’s my job, after all.)

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the tune! Feel free to share with whomever you like.

Cheers!

Well I hope that this is not goodbye Dan. Thank you for your antics. because of you i brought back the high five in my area. I appreciate that.

For you. my first attempt at embedding a song.
Dakotafish – Teenage Years

And no, its not Thom york, but yes it does sound like’em

But I must say, it feels like the end of an era – no more Dan? or Dr. Spence? – although I can’t wait to hear from him one last time. And on top of all that, I’m graduating college this spring and the thought of not having my beloved NU crew to cheer me up may almost be worse than the thought of finishing my college degree in time for the worst recession since the dirty thirties.

Thanks for all the great song picks Dan, you will be missed.
