If you tell me how, I'll 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.
(There is a good reason, though.)
Does it download as an MP3 or M4A? If so, I think I actually have a program that will allow me to do it.
Because you were listening to music and surfing the internet?
I still want to know how to burn these dang podcasts to cd so's I can listen in my car.
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.
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.

oh man, the NPR podcast sounds WAY better than the crap I downloaded! mofo if you can cut this up into tracks I will make you my new best friend
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.

lol. the NPR dude talking during the encore breaks is kind of annoying but at least he seems like a fan...
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."
Drugs are overrated; music is underrated.
Crap, guess I need to shut down that meth lab I have in my bathroom.
No way, I bogart that shit.
We see them Monday night.
Earplugs are the new condoms.
and at the end when he's talking about how awesome Everything In It's Right Place is...
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.
