As you'll see below I have done a song for today's show. The weather outside is rainy and on rainy days I feel like writing a tune. My dog, Basil the Boxer, doesn't appreciate my music as he walks out of the room as I start recording. So great to have such visible fans when you're creating. Basil, so sorry that I'm torturing you with my music. Luckily inspiration is so few and far between!

Today we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster, PLUS we bring you the return of the much loved segment MIKE MAKES MUSIC where I debut a new song I just wrote and produced today. Please keep your expectations low.

Tomorrow we bring you the segment MIKE ON MOBILE, plus we'll hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley.

In news today we find that Bay Area drivers are the first in the nation to drive with algae based biofuel. Algae, for the those of you in the not-know, is that little organism that's going to take over the entire world at some point so we might as well use them now in our gas tanks. I love the smell of a bio-diesel truck in front of me burning fuel made from discarded McDonald's french fries oil which I'm smelling less and less of these days. I wonder what driving behind an algae car smells like. Is it the smell of a swimming pool that hasn't had any chlorine put in it for 2 years? Is it the smell of my dog's outside water bowl if I forget to clean it after 2 months? Or is it the smell of the perfect fairy fart? Who knows. I guess we'll soon find out.

Today we hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer, PLUS we bring you the FINALE of the segment INTO AN INTERVIEW with the band Finn Riggins and their vocalist/guitarist/bassist/

keyboardist Eric Gilbert!

Tomorrow we bring you the segment NEWS RANDOM, plus we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster.

There's a total solar eclipse going on in Australia today! Crazy! That also happens to be the name of a song from an awesome Australian band from the 80's called Icehouse. They never had a song about eclipses, that was Bonnie Tyler's doing. But in the end who cares because that waslong, long ago and the youth today just remembers the techno version by Nicki French. The big question now is why did I buy Nicki's album? I think I got it used for a dollar. Yes, that dollar could have gone towards something better like a nice toupee for me. Oh well.

Today we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster, PLUS we bring you the segment INTO AN INTERVIEW where we talk to Eric Gilbert of the band Finn Riggins and listen to some of their awesome songs!

Tomorrow we bring you part 2 of my interview with Finn Riggins' Eric Gilbert, PLUS we hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley.

Petraeus did the "Mad Men" thing and had an affair. Wow, he's joined the Bill Clinton Club. Those high stress jobs do strange things to people. Now he's quit his job and must try to reconstruct his life. I wonder how many librarians have affairs. That seems pretty low stress.

Today we hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley, PLUS we bring you the segment WHAT's THE CLICHE OF THE WEEK? where we look at not the most overused word or phrase but the most overused THING this week.

Tomorrow we bring you the segment MIKE ON MOBILE, plus we hear from Chely Shoehart, Floyd the Floorman, and John Deer the Engineer.

I am quoting directly from the NPD Group, a highly regarded market research company, via an article by Jason Gilbert on the Huffington Post website that the "percentage of Americans who listen to music on the Internet -- on services like Pandora, Spotify, YouTube and Rhapsody -- is closing in on the percentage of Americans who listen to music on traditional platforms like FM/AM radio and the compact disc." Did you hear that? If you still listen to "antennae radio" you are being left in the shadows like the Republicans who think they can win an election without appealing to women and Latino's. This news makes me so happy. I almost NEVER listen to antennae radio save for sometimes one of the two NPR stations in my area. Most of the time while in my car I'm listening to podcasts and I try to listen to non-radio podcasts, one's that aren't aired on radio first and then turned into podcasts. Unfortunately, the non-radio podcasts usually stink since they're created by immature males who think they're revolutionary because they use a lot of profanity. However, there is NO profanity on my show, it is NOT heard on a radio station first, and it is brought to you completely free! No commercials involved! If you discover another podcast that follows those worthy rules, please let me know!

Today we hear from Benita, the Disgruntled Fiddle Player, and the Brewmaster, PLUS we bring you the segment NEWS RANDOM where we hear about one of America's new dirty obsessions.

Tomorrow we bring you the delayed segment from a couple days ago WHAT's THE CLICHE OF THE WEEK? Plus we'll hear from Madame Rootabega, Valentino, and Bison Bentley.
