Mental Nomad Podcast 142: The Experiment, Part 2

Wherein we continue the experiment begun last week with .M4A-format episodes featuring embedded artwork and chapters that you allow one to skip forward or backward easily through the episode. Ideally, this should work with most media software and/or portable devices, but give me your feedback if you encounter trouble.

Here's what you'll hear today (right-click to download):

1. Josh Woodward: "Swansong"
2. Josh Woodward: "Sexy Nation Army"
3. Arrica Rose: "Porcupine in a Petting Zoo"
4. allMeadow and Rob Costlow: "Fruitful"
5. Luther Allison: "Soul Fixin' Man"

(Total play time: 1:02:32)

Track 1 is from the album Breadcrumbs; track two is a non-album track; tracks 3, 5-7, 10-11, 13-14 courtesy of Music Alley; tracks 4 and 9 courtesy of Magnatune; and tracks 8 and 12 are courtesy of the IODA Promonet and may be downloaded below for as long as their promotions last.

... And if you're thinking one of the songs looks like a Lou Reed cover and another looks like some twisted White Stripes cover (with some Justin Timberlake thrown in), you're absolutely right.

Pod Across America continues its look at New York music on Nov. 1, and the Mental Nomad Podcast returns next Wednesday.
