Not much going on here. I have pretty much moved everything over to Indie Nation

Greetings and Salutaions
Welcome to the first LumpCast of 2010. For those of who are not familiar with it, I hope you enjoy it. It is pretty simple, me on the mic, and a hard drive full of Creative Commons music (Podsafe). So why not get started with what I try to do the most of on the show, spinning music;

Mac vs. PC Rap
May 29
I must confess that I have enjoyed the rather long run of the Mac vs. PC commercials. Now that they are going to become history, there are top ten lists everywhere. I spent too much time watching each and every one of them over at Mashable. I thought that the one below was simply the best and well worth a mention. Get ready to rap!
In my last post, I wrote about the passing of someone I would consider a friend. As an update, I would like to tell you others have also been crushed by it and have set up Remembering Cory.
Also check out this special episode of The Half-Eaten Hat Show in which his friend plays music that Gimpi liked.
RIP Gimpi

I awoke this morning and happened to notice some text in an IRC Channel I idle in often. I have known most of the people in that channel for years. Although we don’t chat as much as we used to "back in the day", it is still nice to hear how they are doing and good news does brighten my day.
Today was not one of those days. The black screen with white text could not have looked any gimmer. The chat was about the passing of a very unique and exeptional person.
With the passing of Cory "Gimpi" Carrier, our world has just become a darker place and heaven just gained an angel with a great sense of humor and outlook on life.
With his passing, even my normal wordy nature, fails. I am in a state of wishing I could have known him even better. He certainly was high on my wish list of IRC friends to meet, regretting not making that list a higher priority. I am not Alice Cooper. I DO cry. I have been doing so off and on all day.
Today, as I am sure many other long time IRC friends have. spent most of my day fighting tears. No, I did not know him as well as others. Most of us, like here and here are not saying much. I suspect, like myself, we just don’t know what to say.

Listeners, below are the notes for another archive of The LumCast on Geeks Radio. It first aired on 4 February, 2009 at 8 PM EST. Currently, I still do a weekly podsafe, all indie, all genre show there each Wednesday at 6 PM EST. For the sake of those iTune users, I am not including all links for each artists. Instead, I would suggest you check out my more complet list of artists I have Played
I am also pleased to announce that Geeks Radio is currently all indie. They also have a similar list.
LumpCast now on iTunes
Jul 4
It took me a good while but I am now approved on iTunes. Woot!
According to the email I got, it should already be searchable.
What is a PodCast?
Jun 15
It amazes me how long we have stuck with the term "PodCast". It is just as amazing, but also somewhat disheartening, to see how many still have no clue what one is referring to when one uses the word. Maybe the name is a failure?

What follows are the show notes from my 21 January, 2009 show on Geeks Radio. The show was to originally air on the 7th of January but a few weeks of the bot being podcast hostile prevented that.

Here is another archive of my show on New Year’s Eve on Geeks Radio. It was such an exciting way to start off a new year!

I know this has been a sporadic site for posting podcasts to of the late but I simply have my hands full enough doing a weekly 2 hour show over at Geeks Radio
I am also aware that many of you who listen over there used to download me over here. I know at least a few of you that have requested spins from artists that either I am not able to play over there. It may be something as simple as the musician and I have not made contact, there may be some material that is not fit for broadcasts with out adding bleeps or there may simply be a license issue.
This show is especially for those listeners. Thanks for all the support from all of you over the years. Can you believe that Usrbingeek posted my first podcast as a topic in lockergnome in Wyldryde IRC over 5 years ago? Seems like yesterday.
I have also begun archiving the Geeks Radio past show here at lumpy’s corner. The catagory for those shows is Lumpy on Geeks Radio. Soon enough I will have more up and will also begin a similar archive for the old Radio Static podcasts.
