In this edition of Musings of the Living, we experiment with pitch, hence the title. We include an opening song, which is based simply on the dial tone of a phone. We also have our second original song that we've recorded and after that Joel reflects on his photography. To finish it all off, we do our musical spotlight on Neil Young and then let you exit our world with a remix of a grade 10 applied mathematics class.

Fluctuating Octaves and Oscillating Falsettos

This edition is shorter than the rest, mainly due to an absense of Joel's writing and a comdedy section. It's focus is on the beauty of small town and rural life. You will get a glimpse of Canada by listening to the emerging new band The Sword Swollowers (name in continual process of change) first song, The Rockies.

You'll then get a taste of Erik's knack for storytelling as he completes the story that he started last edition. The musical legend Johnny Cash is then focused on in this edition's musical spotlight. Enjoy!

Small Town Glory

Heroes on the Radio focuses on the quirkiness of an everyday life in which everyone can and is a hero in some odd way. We open up with a quirky song that uses everyday sounds to establish a beat. Going back to the idea of responses a quick dialogue on the song follows. A new serial story begins after this, read by Erik this time. Then we've got a one time interview with a local cat-saving hero: Jo-bob.

We sequel that with a new section to the podcast that will hopefully give you an idea of the kind of movies and books we read and watch as well as introduce you to some new films and novels. We've taken a small break from the musical discussions as we need to find another band/artist that both of us know enough about to sustain a conversation. Then Joel stars on the guitar doing a duet on his own to ease out of the realm of the living's musings.

Heroes on the Radio

This edition contains a multitude of absolutely great songs (Potatoes and Cheese is a must listen). Joel Penner then reads a heartfelt opinion on his favourite band, The Beatles. A discussion with Erik Berg and Joel Penner then follows, on The Beatles which starts off our regular section on music. Then there is a uniquely odd calling-in feature where our many fans ask questions they've had about Musings of the Living. A fast, rhythm-oriented song then finishes this episode off. Enjoy. Rhythm of the Ancients

In this episode Joel Penner and Kelsey Heinrichs collaborate on a song, and Kelsey responds once again, detailing his opinion on the song. Joel reads his opinion piece on the Iraq war in a unique British accent. Kelsey gives a timely response to the popular book, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. To finish it all off, a very, very odd song will fill your mind. Hmmmmvuh

Produced in record time by Erik and Joel, this episode contains quite a few songs, including Erik Berg's debut song, which you will hear. A timely discussion about the return to school will be heard and a discussion on the famed band: Nirvana. I also read a piece on how marks are over-rated in the education system.

This follows three themes: Nature, School, and Grunge Music.
Enjoy!

Rhythm of the Ancients

This episode starts off with the brilliantly titled song, Grass, while Miles makes his debut and gives a very intelligent, almost professional response. Joel expresses his view on theatre and what it means and why it is great! Kelsey makes his musical premiere with the imaginative song; Midnight Ramblings.

A very interesting and experimental song then finishes the episode off.

Bleeshub

The debut! Joel Penner unleashes his first song on the general population (Artistic Screaming Grace), while Kelsey Heinrichs gives a very helpful response to it. Joel's debuts with his writing as well with an odd piece on how his teeth portray changes in his life. And to finish it off, the short-lived reporters Bob Zoodoggle Joe Smoochka, who were reporting from an island at the time passed away before their first segment even got on the air. A tragic tale indeed.

Hope you enjoy it!
