For five years in the 2000s and 2010s I made a daily podcast for Woot.com, the original deal-a-day site. There were well over a thousand of these things. Here are a few examples.

Might Have Seen A Monster

"Savage Sounds" collects songs written in the early 2000s for Woot.com's daily podcast.

Original liner notes for this track: "When North Korean nuke tests were in the news back in October of 2006, internet users around the world yearned for the in-depth geopolitical analysis that can only be found in the Woot podcast. They might not have said so, but they did, they totally yearned. And the podcast team obliged."

Kim Jong Il, Would You Please Just Chill?

"Savage Sounds" collects songs written in the early 2000s for Woot.com's daily podcast.

Original liner notes for this track: "The date was November 9. The year: 2006. The item for sale on Woot was an Audiovox Portable DVD Player. The podcast was this heartfelt paean to the 2001 film that remains our favorite piece in Sean Hayes’s oeuvre, which isn’t actually saying all that much."

"Savage Sounds" collects songs written in the early 2000s for Woot.com's daily podcast.

Original liner notes for this track: "September 18, 2007 was Chicken Day on the Woot network, with a 2-pack of SnacDaddy wing plates on woot and our 'Hot Wings' tee on shirt.woot. This was the soundtrack that had us all doing the funky farmyard fowl."

A Little Chicken Limb

"Savage Sounds" collects songs written in the early 2000s for Woot.com's daily podcast.

Original liner notes for this track: "We’re going to go ahead and claim that the terrifying scenario described in this song helped us sell a record-setting number of Vector Jump Start Systems with Air Compressors on September 29, 2006. After all, no one’s going to go back and check."

"Savage Sounds" collects songs written in the early 2000s for Woot.com's daily podcast. 

Original liner notes for this track: "Like a sexy vampire, the fulsome beat of 'I’m Gonna Melt Some Chocolate Down' nauseates even as it arouses. The song was written for the Salton Chocolate Treat Maker Two-Pack we ran on December 12, 2006."

I'm Gonna Melt Some Chocolate Down

"Savage Sounds" collects songs written in the early 2000s for Woot.com's daily podcast.

Original liner notes for this track: "This song accompanied the Toshiba Docking Station and USB Hub we sold on July 26, 2006. Of the hundreds of ditties the Woot podcast team has ground out, this song is probably the acme of our lyric-writing achievement. See if you’re clever enough to catch the references to a certain English Romantic poet and Laran, the Etruscan god of war, in the second verse!"

The Pterrapins are a North Seattle basement band specializing in American music, garage folk, a city kind of country. A lot of their songs are slow, but a few are fast. There are four Pterrapins, and one of them plays the mandolin.
