Hello boys and girls.
The Pod spent its summer vacation in Iowa.
In fact, it’s been welcomed by roses, in a Georgia O’Keeffe kinda way.
Merideth put DeVotchKa’s The Enemy Guns on the Pod.
For those who haven’t heard this song, you should listen to it, it’s nice.
It’s, as Merideth said, full of roses.
I didn’t know anything about this band, listened to the song and it slightly reminded me of Calexico, or let’s say if I had a record shop, I’d put their records nearish the records of bands like Calexico. You know, the interesting Indie Rock corner, the Mariachi / Slavic / etc. fusion corner.
In other excellent news, the Pod is on its way to San Francisco now. Wooohooo!
Merideth sent it to someone that’ll put something great on it (yesss!), for reasons which will not be named and have nothing whatsoever to do with Patrick Swayze.
Thank you Merideth!

Hello! The landing of the Pod has been confirmed. So that went quite well, I think! As Zurich is enjoying the latest heat wave, swimming and barbies, I feel a bit sorry for my UK mates, not many sunny days recently, huh. Laters!

Good Morning.
I have to admit I know next to nothing about Iowa. Amazingly enough, this is where the Pod is travelling next. Tom sent it to his friend Merideth. More news soon.

Good Afternoon Everybody.
Sweet news from Tom - I think I’ll just quote what he said, which is:
I listened to all the songs and at first I couldn’t think of a
song that linked to Matt’s song.
But then I remembered when I was at the Dot to Dot festival
(http://www.dottodotfestival.co.uk/). We were at the bar and it was
getting pretty late and there was a girl next to us who had just got
her drinks when the DJ played Los Campesinos. She obviously loves
that song, because she said something like “OH MY GOD things are going
to get messy!” and danced over to her friends. And things did get
messy because she was spilling her drinks all the way. And then they
danced and were still spilling their drinks.
So the song I added was ‘Roses’ by dEUS. Because Rose said, quote,
“It’s time to make a mess”. Also because I really love that song.
It’s a bit of a change of pace compared with what’s on there already,
but not too much.
Brilliant.

Hiya!
Apparently, Matt sent the Pod to Tom. Because he’s one of the nicest people on the internets :) Well, I guess he’s one of the busiest too! No updates yet. As for the team du tour, we’re off to Germany to see some of our favourite bands, have some drinks and sleep in a tent. We’ll miss the first match of the 32nd America’s Cup but we’ll keep our fingers crossed. Go Alinghi! <3

Good day internet people!
Matt chose a track by Los Campesinos. Because he likes boy+girl vocals and they are sweetsweetsweet :) Actually, I think he put two tracks on the Pod. It Started With A Mixx and You! Me! Dancing! I’m not quite sure about that, it’s unconfirmed yet. The Pod is travelling up North now.
More on that soon.

First of all - Hello and thanks for your nice comments, Matt, Jan and DigiBetti! Highly appreciated.
I chose CSS - Music Is My Hot Hot Sex.
It’s a love song, just as Stevie’s. Just as sweet and candy, in a more clever way. If I had a record shop, I’d file it under Electrocute.
There are 16 ‘Nos’ in I Just Called To Say I Love You.
There are 23 ‘Musics’ in Music Is My Hot Hot Sex.
The Pod is travelling to the UK now. I’ve sent it to my friend Matthew.
We like sending us stuff.
We’ve pretty much the same taste in video games. We’ve pretty much the same taste in many things.
We didn’t share an awful lot of music in the past. Interesting, isn’t it.
I like surprises.
To be continued.
