Inside My Head Podcast number Eighty Seven

I did nearly nothing on the rest of my “stay-cation”, and therefore, have little to talk about for this show. I had lots and lots of time to relax, which is what I really wanted, so, it’s all good.

So, instead of a rant, you get extra music to enjoy in this episode.

Today’s haiku of frustration is called : “Not Cool”.

Are you working this summer at a dreary, tiresome, frustrating wage slave type of job? Are you stuck in retail hell? Do you need more haiku in your life? I got what you need!
Haiku of Frustration: Wage Slave is available as a download, or a cute little pocket sized book. Now with new and improved paper!

Music in today’s show by:

* Planetary Nights, with a song called “Road Trip”.

* Jennings, with a song called “Doorway”.
Want to know more about this song? Jennings has a video that explains how she wrote the song, and what it is about:

Unfortunately, the offer of free music mentioned in this video has expired.

* Pistolita, with a song called “Oliver, Under the Moon”.
Check out this very energetic video for that song:

* The A-B Theory, with a song called “Tell Me How Colorado Is”, and another song called “Ataraxia”.
Now, for a limited time, you can get free music from the A-B Theory right here. Don’t miss out on this beautiful music! Thank you to Jesse Smith, of The A-B Theory, for being so kind, and offering free music to listeners of my show.

Here’s a live version of “Tell Me How Colorado Is”. It’s followed by a song called “A City Scene”, that I did not play on this episode of Inside My Head, but, is still a amazing song. I am impressed with how great The A-B Theory sounds live.

And while I’m at it:
Here is the video of the song “Comin’ Days” by the band Heath Street that I played in the previous episode of the Inside My Head Podcast:

This is the episode that almost wasn’t. First, I got sick. (No, it wasn’t the Swine Flu). Then I recorded an entire show, but garageband ate parts of it, (and spit out the rest). Finally, today, I tried to podcast, but the neighbors wouldn’t stop making all kinds of noise. /sigh

I managed to power through all that to get this episode out for y’all to enjoy.

There are several Haiku of Frustration in today’s show, for you to be amused by. Add your own, at Haiku of Frustration dot com.

Time to watch some videos!
In the previous episode of Inside My Head, I played a song by Puppetbox. Here is their awesome music video for that song: Kill You Dead.

My video Why I’m Sick, which is no longer available on YouTube can still be viewed here. Why is it no longer on YouTube? Listen to find out!

My video, “Ants Go Marching”, got a nice comment on YouTube! Here is that video:

Music on today’s show is by Shill. There is an interesting story about how I got their music. I played their songs “Pick A Fight”, and “Play”.

I started off this show with The SIdebars, with our song called “Bubble”.

Inside My Head show number eighty one.

No. Just no.
Things are not going my way, and that includes my allergies.

Wondering how this year’s “Quest for a Shamrock Shake” went? Shawno and I recorded our yearly trek to McDonalds, and I included it in today’s show. You get to come along with us, and see if we did, in fact, manage to obtain the highly coveted Shamrock Shake.

Today’s haiku of frustration is called : “Pollen Count”.

This haiku is part of my contributions to the Envisage 365 blog. The blog started in September of 2007, and there were fifty women from all over the world involved. Each of us submitted one photo each day, and we will continue to do so until the year is over. We are more than halfway through now. If you like looking at photos, you may want to go over there and click around. All my photos have an exclusive haiku attached to them, that you won’t have read anywhere else.

Music in today’s show by:
* Trey Green, with a song called “My Fantastic Ass”. Couldn’t say no to the guy with the Fantastic Ass song!

* Jonathan Coulton, with a song called, “Take Care Of Me”. I’m always impressed by the work of Jonathan Coulton.

Normally, I do not include videos of songs that are made by fans, but, I am fairly certain that Jonathan Coulton allows his fans to use his music for videos they create. I found this wonderful video for the song “Take Care of Me”, by Jonathan Coulton, that some brilliant person put together with scenes from the TV show “House”. Unfortunately, the creator of the video has disallowed embedding, so, you will just have to go here to check it out. It’s worth it, especially if you are a fan of House.

Ok, that’s all I got for now. “Have a great day, or not. The choice is up to you!” (This phrase is announced daily at the school I work in).
