New podcast up.

I guess mypodcast.com reduced the amount of bitrate they allow to be saved on their site, so I had to reduce the sound quality a little to get it to fit. Luckily, with my new condenser mic, everything worked out okay.

You can download the newest edition of the podcast here.

Featuring:
Passion Pit

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes

Andrew Osenga

and much more!

Check it out!

Peace,

Joshua

Update

I'm out of town for the weekend in Kansas City (well, Liberty, technically), and it was brought to my attention that I haven't posted in a while.

With the craziness in all my classes, preparation for seminary, and an upcoming marriage, it's pretty safe to say I've been occupied with other things.

Anyway. I'm not going to take this time to catch you all up on everything that's happened in the last month or two, but I will give you these three things:

1) I finally got my new guitar. It's an Alvarez FF60WR folk-style cutaway acoustic-electric. It sounds AMAZING, and I'm so lucky to have it! I can finally plug in! And the best part is, even though it's a discontinued model, the list price was originally around $900, and I got it on ebay (plus a hard case, which runs around $100) for only $250. I can't wait to do some jamming!

2) Andrew Osenga's EPs, "Letters to the Editor, Vol.'s 1 and 2." I've been obsessed with this guy for a couple months now. His basic mixing and layering of vocals with guitar melodies is astounding, and I love his lyrical content. I highly encourage you to download both EPs for free (and completely legally!) at his website. They make excellent road trip music. Let yourself be challenged by his message.

Check out "Swing Wide the Glimmering Gates" below:



3) Central Baptist Theological Seminary in Shawnee, KS. The home of the CREATE program, and my hopeful choice for my Master's degree in Divinity. I went in for admissions interviews on Friday, hence my staying in Liberty with Tyler and Jess this weekend.

Peace,

Joshua
