I heard this about a month ago and thought it would be good for a share. I'll warn you in advance that the audio quality of this one isn't sterling. It's far from terrible, just a little distant sounding (you'll have that with audience recordings.) Headphone listening is recommended ( Read more... )

I've avoided owning a cellphone, but I was given a brand new one for xmas, making me an actual cellphone owner and user. It's nice to have, I guess.
