Alternative Chris #1 on Towerpod.com


Yeah - this is fun. Well - while it lasts, at least. My podcast Alternative Chris is #1 on Towerpod.com. How did I do it? Don't know, really. Well, I have my secrets.

But, to tell you the truth - it's not me. It's the awesome music out there. Listen in. You'll probably like it. I love it. I almost live for it. Almost.

zZz & Brown Shoe on Alternative Chris

Check out the newest Alternative Chris podcast - I'm playing some totally awesome music from zZz and Brown Shoe. Both bands just blow me away.

Oh - guess what. Eli interviewed Minipop a while back at the Noisepop festival in SF. That interview and some of their music will be on the next podcast. Yippeeee!

Don't you hate it when people post photos of their pets to their blog?

Back from Santa Barbara

Whew - what a great trip and conference. Check out the cool videoblog with interviews of some of the attendees.

I learned sooo many cool things. United Villages is really fascinating - they put mobile routers on scooters and buses that pick up and drop off data in remote villages. Wow.
