No podcast today, but I just wanted to wish everyone in the U.S. a happy Thanksgiving.

Remember to be thankful for what you have.

Also, remember to snark.

Yes, I know this week’s episode is late. I am out of town, and while I have all of my devices it would take to make and upload an episode, I have not had the time or privacy to get it done. It is a good thing for me, but a sad, horrible, lonely thing for you. But fret not, as an episode will be forthcoming in a day or so.

In the meantime, check out this song by my best friend and best man, G2, who has a head and heart for lush electronica like no one I know:

I will be posting non-podcast stuff here, too, by the way. Podcasts go in the “podcasts” category, and the rest goes in the “Just Sayin” category.

I still want to you to listen to the first episode of the podcast and subscribe and all that, but I also will be using this blog to link to other intersting stuff. Some I’ve had my hands in, others I just find cool.

This post is both.

My friend Heath Lowrance recently published his first full novel (he already had a rep in the short story scene), and I was honored when he approached me to supply the style of music he wanted for a book trailer he was making for it. My other friend Ron Warren (who also designed the book’s cover) assembled the video, and I cranked out a guitar part that Heath okayed, and we mixed it all together along with Heath doing the overvoice in “The Quiet Room” at my house.

Not only did the trailer come out pretty well, but the book is pretty cool so far (I am not finished yet), and you should check it out! Amazon has it HERE.

The Bastard Hand by Heath Lowrance

Okay! This is set up. I’m sure I will tweak the menus and such soon, but this is really just an avenue for publishing the podcast, so more effort will go into that. Episode one will be up very soon!
