Podcast Ep.2: Shaft Funk 1/4!

Guess what?

EPISODE 2 IS HERE! Check it out at http://survivalofthecool.podomatic.com/

Sorry no embed, but I have important things to talk about here.....

OMG MY EQUIPMENT IS BREAKING AND I NEED HELP FOR THE PODCAST TO CONTINUE. Just read:

Now, worst case scenario, I have enough imported material to do another 3 shows or so, if you don't mind hearing stuff from the same albums. And then maybe next spring the show could restart, but I really don't want to wait that long.

Jazz musicians don't have money (lol!) so I don't expect you guys to pay me anything, but here are some easy AND FREE (or almost) ways to help:
