Mike and I couldn’t get to the show this week due to holidays, travel, etc.

We hope you have a great New Year’s Eve and we’ll catch you next week.

Here’s a picture of a robot and a disco ball.

Thanks to one Brian Day, Mike can now do his Spidey3 strut down the street in time to a tune.

It’s odd.

We missed the Cleveland gig, but we’re playing this one for sure…pinkie swear.

James Abels decided to make wallpapers of Big Jim’s pic and share them with us.

Thanks Jabels!

Man I love it when we get stuff – here’s a great pic by Big Jim Miller.

We seem to have been having a couple of issues over the past week or so.

The first is looking like it’s related to a recent update from Apple for iPods and iPhones. Symptoms include the software locking up when it hits our mp3. This appears to happen with our older episodes as well as newer ones and I havn’t found a clear explanation for it online yet. I’m still seeing if there’s anything I can do from this end to help.

The second issue was our RSS feed disappearing into spam. As far as I can tell that was something odd going on with Feedburner (the place we used to route our feed) and the only option I could find to fix it was to stop using them. The old feed address should now be redirected to the site’s feed address http://crankcast.net/?feed=rss2 . If your podcatching software doesn’t update soonish you can try and manually input the new address.

Sorry for the oddness,
crank!

This week on the Crankcast…Taber’s on and he talk about movies and some TV. Not much LOST conversation though as he’s a laggard and wasn’t caught up yet. Sorry. On the other hand you can go to Mike’s site and see how he’s filling the void LOST left him with. Cartoons!
