Cartel hit the studio with Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount to record some acoustic renditions of their favorite tracks off their classic album, Chroma. You can find a playlist featuring a special video performance of these five songs after the jump.
Realizing I’ll never say anything that gets as popular as my Power Ranger tweet on Twitter ever again. I’ve peaked. I want to thank Jake for inspiration, this beer, and my mom for banning the show when I was a kid to make me need to rebel and watch it.
Preparing for this week’s podcast episode. We’re not going to be able to record until Friday, but there’s so much to talk about. What a crazy, and admittedly kinda sad, week.
After two non-fiction books in a row, I think it’s time to mix things up and get back into some make believe. #currentlyreading
My week of bad sports karma continues. This time in person. Was a good game at least — unsure how to appease sports karma gods into letting me out of the dog house.
For as long as I can remember I’ve had this habit of pacing while thinking — often while needing something in my hands to play with. Picked up this little guy to be my new thinking ball after the cat destroyed my previous tennis ball friend.
He sure looks excited to be cuddled. 30 lbs heavier and I’m convinced he’d eat all our faces.
For Christmas I got a few Amazon gift cards, and because these things apparently just burn a hole in my mind — I decided to buy myself a couple presents with them.
One of those was the Logitech UE Mini-Boom.
The problem I was trying to solve was how to give myself a very easy way to listen to podcasts while in the shower / getting ready in the bathroom. The rest of my place has speakers where I can be anywhere and hear them with clarity; however, the bathroom (especially with the shower running) drowns out almost all of the sound. So, I wanted something I could easily listen to while in the shower or shaving. And how’s this device solve that problem? With flying colors.
This best of list was put together by the AbsolutePunk.net staff in 2014. It used an old system for ranking albums, but has been brought over to Chorus.fm for posterity.
One thing Jason has always said he enjoys about our staff here at AbsolutePunk is that we are willing to let our opinions and biases shine through. No one here is trying to be a robot, solely evaluating music in an objective manner – if there even exists such a way to listen to these albums, the ones that have made us feel more emotion than all the other music released in 2014. Subjective opinion and bias is present as much as ever on any given publication’s albums of the year list, and ours is no exception. The following 30 albums were hand-chosen by our 21 active AP.net staffers, voted upon in only the most scientific of voting fashions. The best thing about these types of lists, though, is not seeing what we rank, but why we rank it; so each album is accompanied by a blurb from a staff member who loved it. We believe that there is no greater impetus behind listening to music than hearing someone tell you why they love it, so we hope you find something new here, or revisit something you enjoyed all year. – Thomas Nassiff

Podcasts have become one of my favorite ways to pass the time. I’ve compiled a list of my favorites and these span a variety of fields and interests. I’ll keep this list updated on a regular basis. I think there’s an argument to be made that I’ve received a better education from subscribing to podcasts than I did in school.
