Out With Gout '84: Best of 2008

So here it is. Years of hard work and sweat and blood and maybe a little pee have led to this moment. Well, not exactly this moment. Listen, I don't want to get into this argument about the time relativity and fifth dimensions, okay? I did enough of that at cool dude camp.*

So, I present to you the first podcast. Some things to consider before/as you listen:

1. The intro song will change. When I made it I had forgotten I had another opening in mind that is way more awesome and will probably melt your soul when you hear it.
2. The microphone I used sucks. When I try to speak loudly, the sound gets all blown out and I want to cry a little. So the mix isn't especially good. I apologize if you have to turn it way up to hear me and then get a face full of music right after I finish speaking. In the future I hope to get better equipment and master the mixing program so this won't happen again.
   
3. I will get better. When you listen, you may think Trigonometry Palin wrote and performed the podcast interludes. NOT A FACT. It is a baseless rumor and I will release the medical records** to prove it. Don't give up on me yet.
   

I have also decided to post the tracklist of the podcast. I do this because my enunciation is bad and my "radio" voice is 37% slurrier than my normal voice, which is awesome. Also, I forgot to mention the artist/title of the last song. Totally a Trig thing to do.
