The Midday Distraction #19: Luke Parkin

The final of today's three shows brings us back up to date, and hopefully we'll finish out the second half of the month on time.

Here's what you'll hear today (right-click to download MP3 or to open in a new tab or window):

• Luke Parkin: "1-20-09"
• Luke Parkin: "Fade to Black"

(Total play time: 9:12)

Today's music comes to you courtesy of Ariel Publicity.

The Mental Nomad Podcast will return Feb. 3, a Wednesday. As for Pod Across America and Canadian Vagabond/Vagabond Canadien ... I have no idea.

I can't record audio that works at the moment, and I have no idea when I'll be able to replace my recorder, assuming there's not some technical problem I'm just not sure how to fix. So you might or might not ever hear my voice on a podcast again.
