Pondcast #1: "How's Your Hat Wearing?" or "Worst DJ Ever"

*This is the first of many outtakes that we'll be posting. Things get cut for a lot of reasons, most frequently because they are boring. However, there are occasionally some leftovers - some scum - worth a listen, generally because they're silly-funny. 

An outtake from Pondcast #1; Blair mocks Ben for no apparent reason, using a voice that both annoys the listener and sounds nothing like Ben. 

Pondcast - Scum #1: "Ben is Rap-curious"

We're obviously internet-celebrities; Ryan poorly promotes Charm City, USA; "Alternative Rock" is coming back, but we're not lining up for Sebadoh tickets; Ryan gets grief for (allegedly) strong-arming a radio station into booking Eric Gaffney ("I'm Sebadoh Fan #1!"); Mark Eitzel gives Ryan grief on facebook for loving Maroon 5, which pleases Blair to virtually no end; Hail Fiona, Slayer of Men; We break down episode #1 w/ observations courtesy of proud new papa Shawn, only to realize that we're being nostalgic for our first episode during our second; Ryan speaks Blair's language, and we produce a far better "Episode 2" than Lucas (even though Ryan still sounds like he's underwater)
