    This show inspired by me taking my son to see the Cuban national baseball team play Italy in new ballpark here in Taichung. The Cuban team trounced the Italians and I got entire Cuban team autographs for my son. So music has Cuban related theme-kind of. Also get back to Monkey King. Shout out to Hugh Brackett for informing me Monkey Site back up, and to SL katzenjammer Kid friends Lilsparklez and Nerolus who keep me in stitches. Mention new podcast at Second Life Notes. The rest just classy music.

    I'm not going to say much here because I already said what I had to say in the podcast. However I would like to say how very proud I am of the NYC Police and Fire Departments and the people of NYC during that time of crisis and insanity, and how they showed their humanity and great courage. It broke my heart to see the Towers fall, but seeing you folks take action and overcome by living life with gusto, made my heart beat again.

    Here is a very poignant poem from my friend Aron that was there in NYC that day.

    Funny how the music business can sound just like "monkey business." Seems the music making monkeys are taking control of their music and the money making monkeys don't like the bananas they are left with. We play the following songs over a bed of verbal prose imagery and some song lyrics. Famous comment on Music Biz: The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side. Hunter S. Thompson

    Yes lovers of good audio books and literature, it's true. Todays FC News offers interview with PodioBooks.com co-founders Tee Morris and Chris Miller.I talk with them seperately on their roles and experiences in starting PB.com. We play several CC songs with 3 of them from Magnatunes.com which is one cool label and provides it's artists with half of the income from sales. Similar to what PB.Com does with it's authors on received donations.

    Episode 2 of  the "eX-Wife Files" is played four your listening pleasure. Today's SongStory is all about the old "noggin." Using it, working with it and without it, but hopefully not losing it. Of course we reole out the heavy artillery off songs from a bevy of international podsafe bands. Oh yeah! Thanks to Paul the Balticonning ADDFisch for the skype props. Will have a nifty Free Culture News interview program next week with Tee "24" Morris and Chris  "Code Shaman" Miller talking about the good stuff happening over at Podiobooks.com. You say what no Evo Terra-hey none of us could handle that triple-threat. For all of you Free Culture fans patient;ly waiting we'll have some new shows going real soon with assistance from the Illudium guy- Ed Gadget, er.. Hugh Brackett helping out.

Layered in and around this are the latest in cutting edge songs for the 3D listener. We at MindField endeavor to do stuff we find interesting, because we like doing that.

    Water, the stuff of legend, of life. The substance that keeps us going on this globe mostly covered by the liquid. We crave it like the Fremen on Arrakis craved spice, only difference our eyes don't get that nice blueish glow, but our skin does get a nice sheen to it. Splash it, sip it, swim in it, cleanse in it. All this and a variety of water music to refresh your ears.

    I've been thinking about the subject of dreams and the action as well. What can I say-surreal, vital, addictive, mysterious and fascinating to rattle off a handful of adjectives. The famous poet and Taoist immortal Chuang Tzu wrote the Butterfly Dream. This is a poem where the poet questions is it himself dreaming he is a butterfly or is he in fact a butterfly dreaming he was Chuang Tzu-do you all get that? Anyhow, the Butterfly Dream together with the musical: Monk's Dream serve as the bed over which we play these songs.

    Perhaps the Demented Millionaire, no not me unfortuntely (well maybe the dementia part) but John Hodgman. John Hodgman of Little Gray Books, Areas of My Expertise, Self-promoter par excellence, crime partner of Jonathan Coulton(aka Crouton), gang-banger ( the Whiffenpoofs), and the aforementioned “DM� of the They Might Be Giants Podcasts. I almost forgot he is the accuser of Jonathan Crouton’s poor cat-iquette(funny video). Todays story is from one of John’s hobo essays in the Areas of My Expertise book. While John is not really a demented millionaire, he told me if he sells a million books he’ll gladly become one, and hire me to say funny things on his podcast.

    When I was back in the US recently I was appalled by the number of pharmaceutical ads on tv and their tone-get the consumer tweaked about some drug or condition and go tell your physician to prescribe said drug... This really alarmed me, thus I rant and mix music in. Play some promos for my new site, Kick Ass Mystic Ninjas and Babylon 5 podcasts. Todays spoken content from the FDA themselves no wonder it's as bad as it is. Today's music is all druggy in theme.
