Smoking, leaning out of the kitchen window, thinking about all the friends who are centrifuged out around the world from here and the ailing degenerating wounds waiting to be made manifest with glimmering ostium and how man is religious essentially, because he has a sense of the infinite as he can identify the horizon and know that there is something beyond it and that he longs to share the welling up of infinity with his brother and sister I wish you would all collapse back here to the point I am with the violin welling out of my speakers.
I put on my pants one leg at a time like everyone else, but I do it three or four times a day.

FCPH Episode 22/28

So, this is my birthday episode from August with Suncloud and Cousin mixed up with a later addendum... Merry Christmas to everyone...this is the best and fastest gift that I could mass produce for everyone. Not totally sure about the content...I know that Suncloud plays a cover of Foggy Notion and a Guilty Pleasures track called "Beerio." There's also a discussion of brother marriage and something off the new James Hand and Billy Joe Shaver Albums. Hopefully I will have another episode out for NYE.

Fast Charles' Power Hour Episode 20 (Mardi Gras)

Admittedly, I've been slacking. Med school can really eat into one's free time...but I always take the time to celebrate notable occasions, though this one only got a half power hour. That doesn't diminish the mind-blowing music or meandering dialogue that we (guests: Marla and Stumpkiller) manage to cram into this episode. So on Mardi Gras, that most eminent of Feast Days, the King Cake was eaten and the wine and beer flowed copiously.
Enjoy and lift up your spirits,
'Fast' Charles

The Maneuverer phones in long distance and I drink 60 beers. My voice gives out about half way through, I get into a repetitive loop about New Year's Resolutions and finally descend into blithering idiocy.

The second is in my new upgraded studio in Richmond. A debate is ongoing about the name, but Mosby Court and Squatter's Paradise have been suggested. Notice my heightened level of safety:
