Wander over to The Signal weblog if you're interested in the most recent of a long, long series of mixes made for a handful of people, most of whom I know.

If you are not interested, just go anywhere else.

If you were to journey over to The Signal weblog, which is kept on a separate page for no good reason--- oh, how I would like to burn this website to the ground and see what grows up in its place-- you'll find some music!

How about that!

With luck, this will be enough to tide me over until I see Kumail perform at the Punchline in SF later this month. (And I guess if it's not, he is being brilliant and hilarious every day on Twitter, so... no hardship for me! (Anyone else out there like nested parentheticals ((like these!)) as much as I do? ((I doubt it!)))

Here's the link: Kumail Pinkiani - The Invention of Cheese.

If you drop by The Signal weblog you'll find a new music mix has been posted.

If you do not stop by, it won't change anything. The mix will still be posted. What kind of solipsist are you, to think that if you don't know about it, that circumstances will be different?

The world is bigger than you, buck-o. Just as your parents didn't actually vanish when they played peek-a-boo with the infant-you, this mix doesn't disappear just because you don't actually visit this weblog and will never read these words that I'm typing.

Probably.

The Annual Detectives Meeting: a recording of me reading a short piece of my own fiction, set to music. Available for a limited time.

Scotch Eggs: Episode Zero - A test outing for a new podcast project about Scotland and its lovely alcoholic export, scotch. At least, that's the theory. There's also a fair amount of goofing off, mixed with saying unkind things about the characters of nations. All in just under 30 minutes!

Your three podcast hosts are: Alan Black, a Scotsman and author of The Glorious World Cup: A Fanatic's Guide; Michael Hodder, an Englishman and San Francisco-based MC and DJ; and Michael Van Vleet, an American who went to a Highland Games once.

New Signal mixes will still go here, but... I dunno. Blogging is easier on Google+.

If you were to head over to The Signal, you would find a new music mix. Just sayin'. Not a threat. A promise.
