If you love podcasts, and music, the Dallas Does Indie Podcast is for you. The weekly podcast is pretty much an hour long radio show hosted by my old friend Jasien Swords. Jasien has been influencing my music listening habbits since the early ’90s, and he somehow seems to keep doing it.
You can either download the latest podcast as an mp3 right off their site, or subscribe to it through iTunes.
LOST is back, and I’m proud to say, better than ever. Creator J.J. Abrams and his crew have been able to keep the story moving forward with great momentum. Ever since I finally got caught up in the LOST craze, I haven’t missed an episode! But, just in case you missed the Premier of Season 3, you can watch it for free online at ABC.com. Even better, download it for keeps at near DVD quality at the iTunes Store.
And if you’re always looking deeper into the making of LOST, or just want to know more about your favorite show, you’ll probably interested in this interview with writer J.J. Abrams at TV.com: “Given the sheer quantity of episodes that need to be created, there is just no way you can foresee where the story will go,” he said. “The rhythm of the piece kind of defines itself…and is also the result of actors, directors, and editors. The audience might see something important that we don’t, as well.”
Ever since Apple started selling TV shows through it’s iTunes Store, and networks started realizing that viewers were downloading episodes of their shows using P2P software, I have seen network after network start airing free episodes of their shows online (which is a nice feature for those of us who don’t always have the chance to see our favorite shows when they air on TV), and aren’t quite sure if we want to download an episode onto our iPod. I’ve tested out the players on ABC, NBC and CBS (my favorite of which is ABC’s player).
This morning, I learned of new updates to Fox’s Full Throttle page on MySpace.com, allowing viewers to watch their favorite new shows from Fox. Among the lineup: “Bones,” “Prison Break,” “Standoff,” “Vanished,” “Talk Show With Spike Feresten,” “’Til Death,” “The Loop” and “Justice,” among others. The site seems to work quite well, with two minor downsets: First, you have to download a video player to watch the shows. Secondly, if you use a Mac you’re going to get one of those grand old messages saying the video player doesn’t support your platform yet.
Full Throttle, not quite ABC’s media player, but great none the less!
