If you tell me how, I'll do it. :D

Does it download as an MP3 or M4A? If so, I think I actually have a program that will allow me to do it.

Well so far I've downloaded Raconteurs, the Wilco sampler, Neko Case and Belle & Sebastian. And I'm not done yet. In fact, I'd better hurry up and download Okkervil River before somebody scolds me.

That Okkervil River concert is one of the few Podcasts I've ever downloaded. 'Twas good from what I remember.

(There is a good reason, though.)

Because you were listening to music and surfing the internet?

Well yeah, but also because my dog is having some kind of allergic itching attack and I was up all night. And I never get sick (knock on wood) and always have near-perfect attendance so I have to make up an excuse now and then for a half sick day, and since everyone else has been sick, now's a good time to jump on that "gee, I don't feel so good either" bandwagon. :D
 
I still want to know how to burn these dang podcasts to cd so's I can listen in my car.

Well here's how I did it. I converted the podcast to AAC by right-clicking on the file and selecting AAC, so it then appeared in my iTunes music folder instead of just the podcast folder. Then I created a playlist with it and burned that baby. I was worried about how it would divide it into two discs but it did it perfectly, ending the first disc after Bodysnatchers (the end of the main set) so disc 2 begins with the encores.
 
I'll take a look at the podcast and see what I can do, I think I can actually break it up if it is in an MP3 format. I'll let yous guyz know.

Just one more reason you're the wind beneath my wings. :love:

If this indeed does edit perfectly to CD (the two cds split in between songs), I can burn it into discs and then rip the discs into broken out files. It will take a bit of annoying work and time (converting to different file format to burn it to disc just so I can rip it off of that disc to edit it and eventually burn it to discs once again after editing...), but it shouldn't be a problem as I've done it before years back and I still have the same old program on my computer.

:happy:

From the NPR site he says...

When I think of the best concerts I've seen, I always flash back to Pink Floyd in early 1972. Almost two years before the band released what would become Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd performed the entire suite of songs to the amazement of us all. We'd never heard any of the songs (then titled Eclipse: A Piece for Assorted Lunatics), and with its quadrophonic sound, it remains the most massive musical surprise I've experienced.

Radiohead's show at the Santa Barbara Bowl came as close for musicianship and creativity as any show I've seen in 37 years. I've seen a lot of shows.

These guys write great songs, and sometimes you can even sing along to them, but what they do better than any band is create a sonic adventure — a soundscape which, at its best, stretches time and allows the mind to wander and rejuvenate. I think of it as resetting the synapses. Creativity breeds creativity. When the music was over, I felt unboxed and changed and pretty darn happy. Drugs are overrated; music is underrated.

Back in February, All Songs Considered invited Radiohead's Thom Yorke on the show to discuss the music he loved. He was happy to talk about someone else's music, after months of being asked about the record business and the decision he and his band made to release In Rainbows as a pay-what-you-want download. So Thom Yorke played DJ for us, turned me and others on to new music, and talked about creating In Rainbows. We had a good chat, but our meeting was long-distance; he was in Oxford and I was in Washington, D.C. We made mention of meeting when the band came to America for its tour.

So after the show, my guide Laura Eldeiry of the band's PR firm, Nasty Little Man, told me to wait around for Thom; that he'd come around and we'd have that face-to-face we'd talked about.

I've never understood how someone can perform and create for more than two hours and come down to earth enough to carry on a conversation. I could never do it. When Thom finally arrived, he said he was blasted (tired, that is), but he looked happy and satisfied. We talked a bit of politics; Barack Obama's speech at the Democratic National Convention took place in tandem with the Radiohead show.

I told him how unusual I thought it was to have a thinker like Barack Obama running for president; Yorke talked about corruption and lobbying in British politics, and said to be careful about pinning all of your hopes on one person.

Later, on the car ride home, I thought of the words to "Videotape" from Radiohead's In Rainbows: "Today has been the most perfect day I have ever seen."
 
:yes: and at the end when he's talking about how awesome Everything In It's Right Place is...

Was just listening to this in my car...

How is it possible that I saw this show, and and this song, 4x on this tour and didn't notice that the LED lights spelled out Everything In Its Right Place? I need a visual confirmation.

:reject:

I blame Thom's red pants.
 
Are Amnesiac, Hail to the Thief and Pablo Honey worth getting for someone who's short on cash but is thoroughly enjoying Ok Computer, In Rainbows and The Bends?
