Hullo...? Anybody there?

It's been about... ahem... two and a half years since Culture Sluts ceased podcasting - hey a lot has happened! Check out Steve's new projects: http://irishmusictelevision.com/ & http://www.stylenation.ie/ & virtual cinema. And I haven't been completely absent from the podcasting & music & filmmaking buzz either!

But I just wanted to post a message as I have started a new podcast... this time there's really no talk and all music. Basically it's a weekly mixtape of 10 songs that just happen to float my boat that week. It's called Love Action Luvs Friday Mixes! And as the name suggests, it's posted on tinterwebs every Friday morning.

You can subscribe to the podcast in iTunes here... or you can just go directly to the blog just here: http://loveactionluvs.blogspot.com Hey, enjoy! We miss ya!

In The Lebanon...

who are we?

I know Culture Sluts is not a political blog or podcast, but it's one soapbox that I have to stand on, and I feel I've got a few comments I need to get off my chest.

I have personally found myself affected by the goings-on in Lebanon. One of my best friends was there to study and found herself in the middle of conflict. You can read her story here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13862665/

Since she returned home safely to LA, ridden with guilt about the friends and family she left behind, she has been updating her blog regularly. It's definitely worth checking out: http://beirutmonamour.blogspot.com Through some of her posts I came across this cartoonist who is currently in Beirut as well and has updating his blog and his Flickr with his drawings. I cannot help but feel completely sick about what is going on over there. And feel completely helpless, as an American, because my government has decided that they are going to step back from the matter and not help innocent civilians. It's disgusting.

podcasting army required for Darklight Festival

jessieloveaction@gmail.com (Jessie Ward) — Thu, 18 May 2006 12:30:00 +0000

Hey all, the 2006 Darklight Festival is just around the corner - taking place in Temple Bar the weekend of June 22nd!

The ENTIRE event will be recorded and podcast via the Darklight blog. In order for everything to run smoothly I'm looking for a small podcasting army to help out with recording. These would be volunteer positions, but in addition to great podcasting experience, it would give you free entry to the various Darklight Events taking place over the weekend.

if you're interested, or would like more information, send me a message, or email me at jessie-at-wildlight.tv

darklight.ie

Cheers! - Jessie

CultureSluts Podcast #19: DRUNK PRAVDACAST

noreply@blogger.com (CultureSluts) — Tue, 16 May 2006 10:04:00 +0000

At long long long long long last, the elusive CultureSluts Podcast number 19!

They said it would never see the light of day, it's finally the PRAVDACAST. Listen at your own risk as the Culture Sluts knock back more than a few pints in our sponsor bar Pravda with Fixer, Andrew and Lana Bus.

Talk gets dirty, talk gets messy, from sex in your parents house, to Irish immigration experiences... we cover it all. It even becomes something of a sound-seeing tour when we leave Pravda and head through Temple Bar seeking out more drink.

Apologies in advance for the bad sound quality and the ramblings of a bunch of alcohol-influenced people. How Irish.

ps... Fixer, hope you're nice and settled in LA. Keep in Touch!

FIXED!

noreply@blogger.com (CultureSluts) — Wed, 10 May 2006 16:29:00 +0000

FIXED!!!

apparently we exceeded our bandwidth... so all I can say, is thank you for downloading... come again!

And now, coming very soon, I present you with: Drunkcast, sponsored by Pravda

broken links & broken hearts

noreply@blogger.com (CultureSluts) — Wed, 10 May 2006 15:49:00 +0000

Hey guys, after uploading the latest podcast (#19!!!) I just discovered that the links to all the podcasts seem to be broken :( I'm trying to resolve the issue, so hopefully you can bear with me and once again be re-united by your favorite Dub-merica cast.

PS... how're ye all doing?? WE MISS YOU xoxox

CultureSluts Podcast #18

noreply@blogger.com (CultureSluts) — Mon, 27 Mar 2006 16:18:00 +0000

A big fat hello from the CultureSluts with Podcast number 18! Easily offended listeners this probably isn't the episode for you... or maybe it is, our offence-o-meter's never been used before.

We're in Filmbase's Curved St. Cafe (for the last time as it's under new - not as good - management) talking about the Paddy's day Daily Source Code, our download statistics and the reliability of the Frappr Map - our googleability.

On the "culture" side of things, we talk about tabloid newspapers, Soccer AM, the GAA, Athlone being the Berlin of Ireland, Varga Girl pinups, Asian genetalia, Paddy's Day, and the Blog Awards.

We get excited about the Electric Picnic lineup, and Jessie gives the update on the latest Love Action gigs: Our latest venture, the monthly Shotgun Club debuting on April 6 with Sickboy, Moutpiece, Queen Kong and LPX.

We finish off the cast with a track from Sickboy

The CultureSluts on Adam Curry's DSC!

noreply@blogger.com (steve) — Sun, 19 Mar 2006 19:47:00 +0000

Adam Curry played the Irish Podcaster's St. Patrick's Day Greeting on Daily Source Code #355. featuring Us, an Timeall, Bernie Goldbach, Brian Greene, Dermod Moore, Technolotics, Dec's Ramblings, Liam Burke, Keith Gaughan, Clonmel Chat, Tom Raftery, Sarah Stacy and Clara. Well done Bernie for a great idea!

Hopefully this may drive a few more listeners ( and podcasters! ) to the nascent Irish Podcasting scene.

It's kinda cool to get a mention on the DSC, since Me and Jessie have been listeners since the early days and it was Adam who inspired us to get podcastin' in the first place. So cheers Adam! I bet we will need a whole show to fit all the Irish Podcasters in next year :-)

Happy Paddy's Day from CultureSluts!

noreply@blogger.com (steve) — Fri, 17 Mar 2006 18:22:00 +0000

Happy Paddy's Day !!!!! from Jessie + Steve.

It's Episode #17!

We're back in Dublin (at the same time), casting from Thomas Reads and talking to the multi-talented John Brereton.

Jessie talks about last week's Terry Hall gig, Steve talks about LA and the Oscar Wilde's.

John tells us about all his millions of great projects from promoting gigs & venues such as all the great nights going on in Pravda (including Pravdavision & the King Kong Club), Thomas Reads and the re-opening of Thomas House. He also tells us about the trials and tribulations of his band Sack from being the Irish band during the Brit-pop years to touring with Morrissey over the years.

We end with the Sack song "Climb Mine Powerhouse" from their second album "Butterfly Effect".

Culture Sluts Dave Fanning interview postponed

noreply@blogger.com (CultureSluts) — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 18:01:00 +0000

If you missed Dave Fanning's show yesterday, fear not, Jessie's Culture Sluts interview was postponed to today! It seems that yesterday being Valentines day, the radio folks were more interested in playing anti-love songs than hearing about the new-fangled-thing we all call podcasting.

Sooo... tune in NOW! and you just might catch it. You can stream it as well!
