HU Podcast #56: Obelisk 9:08 pm // Tuesday, March 2, 2010
Posted by chris in matt walker, podcast, teargarden by kaleidyscope.trackback
As promised last week, we mark our return with a catch-up podcast. Unfortunately we recorded prior to the release of A Stitch in Time, but we did talk about all the news that we missed during our absence, including possible touring plans and the first Teargarden by Kaleidyscope EP.
Listen to the whole show (50:57)
This week’s topics:
Panelists
-Chris, Jason, and Jill
-A few words on the return of the website. (4:04)
-Billy performs with Matt Walker at a benefit concert. Should Billy have played a more mainstream song than Widow Wake My Mind for the VIPs in attendance, or could he use it as an opportunity to gauge the crowd reaction to the song? (4:49)
-Billy is interviewed on Local 101 in Chicago. Is the band better served sticking to a rhythm with the song releases or trying to get the stronger songs heard by the most people through the radio? (21:21)
-The first Teargarden by Kaleidyscope EP package and release date are announced. Is the obelisk but the first in a series of mystical artifacts? We take some guesses at the identities of future curios. (13:48)
Song of the Week
-I Am One, Detroit, MI April 10, 1999
We hope to be back next week to sound off on A Stitch in Time.
it shows that the last released podcast on itunes was the widow wake my mind one back in january. and when i go to subscribe, an itunes error comes up saying how the podcast can’t be found or something?
@gyang333: Weird, I see the same thing in the iTunes store, but I’m subscribed to the podcast in iTunes and it had no problem pulling down the latest episode. Would the feed URL help? I think you can subscribe directly to the feed in iTunes. If so, you can use http://www.hipstersunited.com/blog/podcast/rss.xml.
I just tried that, but it still says, “There was a problem downloading
“http://www.hipstersunited.com/blog/podcast/rss.xml.”. An internal server error occurred.
Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again.”
My laptop recently died and I replaced the hard drive, so even though I was subscribed before, I have to do it again, and now it won’t let me :(
Great podcast! I think Billy should go on NPR’s game show “Wait Wait… Dont Tell Me!”, and play Not My Job! Its the 8th most popular podcast on i tunes, and it would be a great way for him to promote the album! Plus, both him and the game show live in Chicago, so it would be easy! And really entertaining :)
@gyang333: If you open up the RSS URL in a browser does it load the feed or give you some sort of 500 error?
re: curio cabinet –
I wonder if we can expect the 3″, the 6″ or the 7″ Smashing Pumpkins cauldron?
The bigger the better I say!

i’ve tried to comment a few times, i don’t know maybe it was too long, but from what I can tell, when i click on that chris, it’s working, i don’t get an error message.
I miss Andrew!
@WeRideAtDusk — He was fired. He had fundamentally unhealthy habits and we really couldn’t reach our full creative podcast potential with him still dragging us down.
LOL I had (maybe still have?) the “Zero” cassette single! I remember I hit ‘rewind’ after “Pennies” was over. ;-)
Also: The obelisk EP pre-order is on sale right now at Amazon!
