Episode 13: I Think I Was Punk Once
Somewhere in me is a punk rocker trying to get out. He surfaces on occasion, and I applaud his efforts. Here's a handful of tracks that could more or less be considered punk (but in my rather old-fashioned definition of the term, just so's ya know).

Episode 12: Hybrid Covers
Yeah, I record songs that other people wrote. But I like to mess with them and smoosh them into each other. This episode is about smooshing songs into new compositions.

Episode 11: St. Olaf Emergency Statue Fund
Take one part Chris Combs and one part Mike Lebovitz, and you get the greatest musical force ever named for a punchline from one episode of a 1980s sitcom. Mike joins me in the studio to spin some Olaf tracks and talk about our collaborations together.

Episode 10: Do Not Accept Candy From This Man
For some reason, I am really good at writing creepy songs. Don't ask me, I don't know. But here are a handful of them. You are hereby warned: this stuff gets pretty upsetting.

Episode 9: It Was After The Apocalypse
Due to awfulness, I did not complete Transmission Ends this month. I made demos of a few songs before my hard drive crashed, and happened to back those up. And when I replaced my recording setup I recorded some unrelated things. So this podcast is stuff I did this month before and after the... the Incident.

Episode 7: Transmission Ends Preview
May is National Album Recording Month, so I'm kicking around the idea of recording an album called Transmission Ends. I began the project in 2000 and like so many other projects, I have yet to complete it. On this show I'll play the demos I currently have as a preview of what may be available at the end of the month.

Episode 5: Does Music Belong In Humour?
The songs in this episode are funny. Okay, you can argue that all the songs in any episode are funny, but these songs are very much about funny on purpose, not by accident.

The Public Domain Project consists of me taking song titles from the public domain and writing new songs with them. It's a clash of past and future, presented here for you.

27 Feb 2006 (16:08)
Episode 2: Crazy Old Stuff
The oldest stuff you're likely to hear on this show. These songs come from the period between 1995-1998 and document my very earliest dabblings in recording.

What Is The This?
Every month or whenever (whichever comes last), I will produce a little programme that showcases some of the songs I've written and recorded. It's mostly because I miss the radio shows I used to do in college and the pre-podcast craze Pickle Radio. I have lots of musician friends, so I imagine they'll pop in from time to time.How To Listen
Option 1: Fire Up A Podcasting ProgramI'm sure you've heard of these things. iTunes, Juice (formerly iPodder), Podsage, whatever.
Once you've got one of those going, it's just a matter of finding "Music From Planga-La" in the listings. Or if you're impatient or frustrated with the search process (like I am), you can just use this URL as the feed: http://www.planga-la.com/podcast/planga-la.xml
Option 2: Live Bookmark Action
Mozilla Firefox has a live bookmark feature, which will display direct links to all of the episodes (the next version of Internet Explorer is supposed to have this too). Use the same URL (http://www.planga-la.com/podcast/planga-la.xml). This method is how I keep tabs on everything important in my life.
