The Metapodcast

A link for your listening pleasure. If you'd like to let people know of my ambitious project, this video is a nice summation of what is to go down in the next three years.

Ponyta

Before this show aired I had the wonderful fortune of meeting Osso, a string quartet that played arrangement's of Sufjan Stevens' 2003 album, Enjoy Your Rabbit. They played a live show that floored the audience. They opened with Year of the Dog and had the audience in the palms of their hands, but when they got to Year of the Horse, the audience was blown away. Tears seared my weathered cheeks and as the cello's wavering sounds flickered in the hall, the viola's punctual pizzacato flickered from ear to ear. I highly recommend their recently released album, Run Rabbit Run.

Ponyta, is an excellent example of the beauty of potential. More developed, Rapidash, is strong willed, occasionally stubborn, and simply put, not one to bowl over for anyone. While maturity is to be appreciated, there's a certain rawness to Ponyta that mustn't be overlooked. Eagerness to love, eagerness to explore, with an unabashed sense of curiosity. Often these qualities go stifled in the world we live in, but I reject this outlook and demand that we embrace a sentimentality where passionate, but darting whims are wholly appreciated and carefully nurtured. For it is only the darting flickering of kindling that can keep us warm in the cold of night.

Light a Roman Candle and let her hold it in her hands

Their hooves tread fiery paths on ashen landscapes, devoid of volcanic memories. Astride in fields, their flaming splendor bends the horizon. Tomorrow on Vulpixelation: Ponyta.

Tune in to WRCT from 8 to 9 PM, Tuesday, to see the kindling of youth transformed into ball lightning.

Trip to Vermilion: Snorlax's Rude Awakening

Dearest Friends and Pokéfans alike,
I write to you from the shores of Vermilion City. I have just arrived via the S.S. Anne and am about to eat a meal with the world renowned Surge. Apparently he knows of some great dim sum, nevertheless, I'd rather stick to what I know best, sashimi. Unbeknownst to many, Vermilion is an incredible gastronomic hub here in the Kanto region, second only to Cinnabar Island. With the vast amounts of fishermen out to see every morning and each evening. You can be sure to find at least 500,000 kilos of fish making their way to market.

This program is a retelling of my exploits in Vermilion and my findings on the Snorlax rumors that had been circulating. Listen in to see how I erred. Note, do not wake a Snorlax after its annual feast. Your nudges will go greatly unappreciated.

Our Ghastly Mortality

Ahhhhh, what better a time than right before all hallow
s eve to showcase as fantastic an ectoplasm as Ghastly.

For this show, I took my portable recorder down towards Lavender Town to explore the tower. On the way there, to pay respects to Mr. Fuji's poké cemetery, I came across many a abandoned control towers along the the tracks of my train. Tower after tower, I never ceased to be amazed at how hollow and yet inviting these buildings looked. As a result I got off as the tracks passed Victory road and trekked ways a way from the station near Lavender town to see this particular control tower. It reminded me so very much of my childhood home in Kyoto. 2 children a mother and an ever travelling father, all cramped ino a one room apartment.
The wooden claustrophobia and the ever present smells of cooked food, varnish, leather, and tea are hard to forget. Even as I look back, despite the terrors that I felt at night as I rocked myself asleep to the cold, harsh squeals of the rail road tracks, I remember my home fondly. I'll never be able to that apartment, but I'll always be there. Memories fade quicker than wallpaper, but the smells cling tightly 'til one's last breath.

As a result this program dedicated to the lonely phantom and master of the absurd, Ghastly, is as Regina Spektor says in one of her songs,
a lesson on how fleeting preservation is.
