It's that time again, folks - time to review 2009 in comics, pop culture, politics, and other stuff.

(Or, to put it another way, to hear me rant for just under an hour). Plus, some news about the podcast you don't want to miss.

Enjoy!

It's a podcast with a difference as this edition examines the uncanny interaction between pop culture and history - 46 years ago, we lost a president, a movie was pulled from circulation, and a television show debuted half a world away.

Coincidence? You decide.

(Note - had to rerecord due to bad file. Editing a bit choppy, but firm nonetheless. Enjoy!)

Taking my cue (again) from Sound Opinions, I'm going to be focusing on a band that I had blogged about long ago - at least, one of their albums.

This is a trial podcast, of a sort, as the focus is on the first three albums by cult favorite band Big Star. Enjoy!

Even though there are some "rerun" podcast, this month's Record You Should Own (coming on the heels of August) is a compilation by a band that deserves much more attention - Special View by the Only Ones.

This month's selection is a record that made me cool for all of about two seconds in high school. Hear about that story - as well as my usual ramblings - when I discuss Prince's Purple Rain

But don't just take my word for it - listen to a more in-depth analysis on Sound Opinions.

And finally, there's a little babbling at the end about some upcoming news and events.
