Colin & Mingo have a new podcast. It's our second ever video podcast.

It includes the live performance of "Wearing Plaid (It's a Fad)", a short Thurm clip and Magakrampi & Blanda's new video, "Festival of Light".

You can download the podcast: Maxwell Montes Video Download or subscribe to our podcast in iTunes (etc.): Audio output from Magakrampi & Blanda (this is an RSS feed).

We have also uploaded the Thurm Glupston show from 1988 (in 7 parts) to YouTube. Watch it from the convenience of your own home in glorious Tube-o-vision:

Way back in 1988 we did our second live "Thurm Glupston Show"--a show with a fake host, fake guests, and fake commercials. To add to the excitement we had real audience members (i.e., not "plants") call in as though it were all real. They played along quite well.

In this show Thurm (the host) interviews "We'll Save You Man" (in a surprise appearance), Woody B. Green (a man/plant who can change into a plant/man), Kitty Cologne (a astrologist/cosmetologist), and Russ Fink (an "impostor").

If this is popular I'll go back and do the first Thurm show as well.

Magakrampi and Blanda have a new video for a track they recorded about a year ago. It's called Festival of Light.

Last week Heather got more pool time in--both at her paternal grandparents' place (twice!) and once more at the Highland Park pool. She really wants to be a little fish.

My 20th high school reunion was over the weekend--and it was better than I expected. We did not go to the informal Friday event, but there were some people who attended that whom I would have liked to see. We went a little late to the formal event on Sunday because we needed that pool time with Heather :) It was nice seeing folks I had kept in touch with but who live far away. And there were some folks I hadn't seen since high school that it was nice to see as well.

( See videos from 20 years ago... )
Anyway, Heather & I have been on our own for a couple of days again this week and things have gone well. She's had her first taste of (cow's milk) formula and we went through the drive-through car wash. Both fairly uneventful :)

Are you ready for a bonanza of video?  I hope so...

Let me know what you think!  Maybe the files are too big, or the background music is too loud.  Any feedback is good feedback!

As an escape from nearly a month of silence I offer the following video test I did today in preparation for making video podcasts.


If things go right we should have a real video podcast out tomorrow night.

Colin & Mingo (sometimes known as Magakrampi & Blanda) had a new podcast last week.  (That link is the address you would use to setup iTunes to retrieve the podcast automagically.)  We had some requests for a holiday editon, but it is unknown at this time whether that will occur.

Nearly 19.5 years ago (!) Colin & Mingo stunned our High School audience with a rollicking live performance of We Have Mutated. Now, through the magic of YouTube, you too can witness the mayhem in this nostalgiac look at our heroes as they were in 1987...



The wobbly look is due to the amateur videographer who apparently didn't realize that the tripod should have been adjusted so that the edge of the stage was roughly horizontal when seen straight on...

It's nice to actually feel like summer has arrived--and to have the feeling within a few weeks of the actual start of Summer.  So far a lot of nice stuff has been happening--it would be even nicer for it to continue for a while :)

I think that's enough (too much?) of an update for now.

Magakrampi & Blanda (sometimes known as Colin & Mingo) have another new podcast. And this time it's longer than 1.5 minutes :)

In this (brief) edition, we hear a new jingle from one of our sponsors, and Maxwell Montes introduces our upcoming season of podcasts.

This is a direct link to the audio file for today in case you lack software for playing podcasts.

Enjoy!

Magakrampi and I stopped for a bite of brilliance... And this is what we saw.

One of the instrumental tracks on Electrosmog is called "al-Kitab al-mukhtasar fi hisab al-jabr wa'l-muqabala" ("The Compendious Book on Calculation by Completion and Balancing"), which is the name of the book that gave us the word "algebra". I was originally going to name the track using Arabic characters, but have since decided that the (English-speaking) world may not quite be ready for that...

Colin & Mingo made a slight return (as Magakrampi & Blanda) last year, but now we're poised to make a full comeback with the release of Electrosmog.

Check out the new podcast.

Geoff Collens interviews world-renowned pastry chef "Gerard". If you listen you will find out what churros are really made of.

I really need to catch up here but instead I'll just announce my first podcast. We're not listed anywhere yet (iTunes Music store wants my credit card info for some reason in order to be listed there...) but you can subscribe manually using iTunes or whatever podcast-capable gizmo you normally use for such things:

Using iTunes you can go to Advanced->Subscribe to Podcast and enter the URL above (your browser should offer some way to copy the URL).

We won't always do things in the same format so if you're not quite into this one check back later :-)
