Also, although my music site LOOKED like Muxtape, it wasn't! It's Favtape, and it pulls from Last.fm... totally different! To me, anyway.

Keep that feedback coming. Like I've said, it always helps us to know what you like and don't like!

Peace on Friday,

Hey Sarah, if you like that Nick Cave album, you might want to check out Cave's band from the late 70's and 80's: "The Birthday party" ... drug-addled, noisy, sort of gothic, bluesy dirge.

Actually, I'm guessing you'll hate it.

My thing with the music segments is that they feel a bit like cheap filler in lieu of actual content. But, as I'll freely admit, I'm not the targeted demographic (Male, 34).

#1) Old people do have sex (thanks a lot Sarah)

#2)I have pretty eclectic taste in music (Jobim, Sinatra, Marilyn Manson, The Doors, CSN&Y, Flobots, Eminem, Modest Mouse, The Bird and the Bee, Beethoven, etc.) but don't like music podcasts that much. Heather covers that quite well in her segment and I follow her on Twitter for her recommendations.

#3)Moujan was hilarious as usual.

#4) I still love Sarsh despite the old people comment.

Gillian Anderson is all of, 39? I trust you ladies will have the good sense and taste to give up that pastime well before, like, such an advanced age, right?

omigosh... Ms. Sarah Lane... Ms. Director of Production...... We need BLOOPERS! I *really* miss those lol..

Good show -- the new format is growing on me, but still I want the show to last longer. Maybe that's just me craving too much popSiren, though lol.

Good job, ladies. Keep it up

What about Eyerize?
Yes, I am absolutely bias because I developed it. http://www.eyercize.com/
it's a similar but better offering that has a many more options.

I use it with the autoscrolling on, set to "page mode"
and showing around 10-15 lines at the time.

Give it a try, that's really helps you practice real-life speed reading skills.

Cheers
