The No-Penney Opera http://www.davidaspitzley.org/NoPenney A podcast of music from my collection, much either discoveries from clearance bins, or purchases inspired by the powerhouse music crew at WDET FM in Detroit, which was sadly gutted by management in December of 2005. en-us Friday, January 26, 2007 Friday, January 26, 2007 My own two hands http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss The No-Penney Opera Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace

Yeah, dumb joke, but until I do Episode 2, this is mostly just a phantom. Anyway, I can't guarantee that the audio quality of this effort will work out real well, but here goes nothing. 45 minutes | Download Episode 1

...or Fortsmas, for our listeners across the pond. This episode is a tribute to famed anomalist Charles Fort, born August 6 (or 8) 1874, with songs reflective of his work and legacy. In otherwords, goofy. NOTE: Due to an error on my part, the host segments were recorded at a very low bit-rate, and sound like a radio broadcast. In the interests of hitting Fort's birthday, I've decided to post it as is. The music is unaffected, so feel free to fast forward over me, and I'll get it fixed for next episode. 75 minutes | Download Episode 9
