A new feature has come to the Unsayable Podcast. Here are the links from the weekly email that I send to Podcast Co-Host Chris McVicker detailing all the interesting things he misses while he is stuck at work.

Brian McVicker, a loyal listener of the show (which is coming back into circulation soon) is, much like myself, a connoisseur of the ancient Japanese art of elegant desktop design. It’s the kind of thing that it takes a special breed of person to appreciate, but for us, it is akin to admiring a beautiful automobile. So, humbly, I submit the screenshots of my efforts.

Current system setup:

ACER Aspire Laptop 9500 with an 1.5GHz Intel processor and integrated Intel graphics chipset 915

1GB system RAM

Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn

Compiz Fusion desktop effects enabled using the Emerald Window Decorator

GTK and Emerald theme NOVA gold, with icon set and suggested background by Lyrae

Font: Segoe UI

Themes available at www.gnome-look.org

(Active programs in screenshot: GAIM instant messenger client, VLC media player, Terminal)

Bottom shot contains desktop running Avant Window Navigator with reflections and glass engine enabled.

I know the Unsayable community is not used to music related material, but I am posting this anyways, because music warms the soul. CAUTION: This music does not contain information about death lasers, exploding Neutrons, and cataclysmic cosmic collisions.
1. Girltalk: NightRipper
I know, I know… a mash up album at number #1? Everyone likes this album its hard not to.
2. Grizzly Bear: Yellow House
Very chill and incredibly good
3. Tapes n’ Tapes: The Loon
Debut album
4. Brightblack Morning Light: Self Titled
Good background music
5. Sunset Rubdown & Spencer Krug: Shut Up I Am Dreaming
Spencer Krug from Wolf Parade stars in this album.
6. Thom Yorke: The Eraser
Radiohead anyone? This will tide you over until Fall 07
7. Peter, Bjorn and John: Writers Block
Got this last week and can’t stop listening to it
8. TV on the Radio: Return to Cookie Mountain
Previous album Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes was decent, this album is a giant leap forward for this band
9. Islands: Return to the Sea
Catchy Pop
10. Asobi Seksu: Citrus
Their live show is very intense

What can I say…. We’re playing it right now instead of recording the podcast. I am sorry, it’s very awesome though. Fear not, we will record soon.

Bart Bartow will begin posting with us very soon. Bart will bring his own special insights to things on which only Bart is qualified to write about. You’ll just have to take my word for that.

Well, after having to re-install the webpage twice, we are back up and running. Everything has been worked out with GoDaddy, so you should not see any more interruptions to the website. Thanks for your patience.
