When I was a kid I listened to a lot of podcasts. We'd always be eating around the time of the Radio 4 6.30 comedy show, so I'd record it and listen to it on my mum's walkman while I took the dog out. Also my sister bought my mum podcasts of On The Hour a couple of years ago, which I also listened to.
I listened to couple of recordings of Ricky Gervais's show, which was pretty good.

That's totally web1.0 - modern day podcasts are driven by a thing called RSS - pushing the content out to you rather than forcing you to have to retrieve it.

right now benny, not so good. Got a bit of a cold, so I've been tossing and turning. Also, last night some dude was trying to break a door down at like 4am, and the whole building was shaking. Went on for half an hour, just banging and banging. Damn thing never opened. The sweet part was that the dude next door to me (who hasn't bothered me since I went apeshit at him) got up and was complaining to whoever was attempting the demolition. It almost made it worth it to be woken up, knowing that he was woken up as well.

Do you listen to the american Gamespot Teh Hotspot podcast, or the UK one? I tried the UK one the other week, but I thought it embarrasingly shit.

american. I'm still too bitter about not getting a job at the UK one to listen to their shitty podcast. I'm in love with Jeff Gerstmann, so I get my Jeff fix every wednesday.

What's Facebook, and how does it work? Orlando Bloom is on it, you see, anonymously, looking for the right woman to settle down with (me). Is it like the myspace thing- teenagers listing their favourite colours and best mates and stuff?

it's much harder to be anonymous on facebook than it is myspace. It's still about social networking though; you have a public profile, you can add contacts, there are messaging capabilities, and grouping functions. Kind of myspace, but not really. It's a bit more functional, and is built around RL networks. Myspace crossed with friends reunited.
I've got back in touch with my old school friends through it, which has been scary, but rewarding.

if it's sex you're after, then myspace is still best. Necro shags chicks almost exclusively through myspace. He'd probably shag you if you went over to New York. Forget OB, a lily livered kentish flannel, and go with Necro, a brutish jew from brooklyn with a love of fantasy violence and abusive sex.
eta: is bloom jewish? seems to be an issue of contention.

Hi VP. From what I understand it's pretty much the same thing as MySpace. Good luck winning Mr. Bloom's heart. If he doesn't pick you, should we stab him in the heart, for being an idot?

I don't really understand MySpace either. Isn't it just an ad for yourself and your likes/dislikes? Like, who gives a fuck?
Bloom is his stepdad's surname, don't know if his mother's Jewish.

A good knee in the back would finish Bloom off.

He's doing it as a friend though, so that he can meet a woman who loves him and not his starpower - so be prepared to work your way through loads of people pretending to be him pretending to be his friend.
I think that famous people who say that they can't find love because they can't be sure that they are loved for themselves or their stardom are full of shit. They can't find love because they are self centred, work stupid hours, sleep around etc etc etc

I think MySpace is doing a lot of harm to modern music actually. About the only public forum that Trans-Global Underground have is through their MySpace page and it's got pages of people going, "Tx 4 teh add. Ur music is gr27." Everyone that's heard their new album is saying how mwah-mwah it is dahling. Truth is, it's frankly shite. (n.b. This is my favourite band of the last 15 years.)
I'm convinced that the explosion of MySpace arselickers since their last album has caused them to completely take their eye off the wonderfully eccentric ball they, er, had their eye on all the time before.

maybe after 17 years, it's all just getting a bit tired. Why not try something new, like Sunshine Underground? Similar name, very Myspace friendly. The kids like it. The band recently 'teamed up' with Red Stripe, according to their official site. I'm planning on 'teaming up' with guiness. I'll give em a bell, friendly like, and just be all "hey, you err..you want to team up with me? Hmm? We'd..I think we'd make a pretty good team. Just you and I. A team."

There's a bit of an elephant in the room with the old YouTube, I find.
When that elephant clears his throat and speaks in a lilting West Country accent, what he says is this: "The problem with EweTyaub is that the the stuff that's good is old and professionally produced while the stuff that's shoite is new and amateur, which is so-kind-of-not-the-point, sh-surely? Example: watching the Devo video for 'Whip It' is approximately fifteen billion times more entertaining than any of the "Ask a Ninja" episodes."

The best thing I ever found on You Tube was a photo-montage of these two slightly pudgy, but basically attractive 15 year-olds' day out in London, which included loads of pics of them trying on lingerie in a department store changing room. That was really brilliant, and kind of started to win me over to user-created content.

Yeah, everything has it's time. Thing is TGU had moved on hugely from what they were originally (vaguely) remembered for and their last album, about three years ago, was genuinely excellent.
As for Sunshine Underground... I presume you're taking the piss. The clip on that MySpace page sounds like fucking McFly.
C'mon, there's got to be something that really rocks with a passion hasn't there? Not just loud guitars for the sake of it, but something that actually makes you want to kick something. For fun.
