It was a shorthanded crew tonite, Emily was dealing with homework and Jessica was sick with a stomache virus (but she did make a short appearance near the end). We reviewed a couple restaurants, a play, and a movie and played five songs as usual. Here's the lineup: Joanne's Song - 16 Military Wives - The Decemberists, Fred's Song (for Jessica) - Mardy Bum - The Arctic Monkeys, Josh's Song - Angie - The Rolling Stones, Fred's Song - Our Swords - Band of Horses, Joanne's Song (for Emily) - You're Beautiful (acoustic version) - James Blunt

We took off last week to go skiing and so this is only the second podcast of the year. We talked a lot about basketball and skiing. We also reviewed Mario Batali's new restaurant Del Posto which The Gotham Gal and I ate at last night. Josh also ate there last week with his friends Benno and Leo so he gave us his take on the place. Here is the song list: Josh's Song - Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd, Fred's Song - We Are The Sleepyheads - Belle and Sebastian, Emily's Song - Mudfootball - Jack Johnson, Jessica's Song - Let It Rain - Tilly and the Wall, Joanne's Song - Dancing With Joey Ramone

We took a month off from our weekly podcast to celebrate the holidays and go to Thailand. It was a long time away from the weekly routine and we missed it. We got back into it today with a fiesty show, some of which ended up on the cutting room floor to save all of your ears the shock of Josh yelling loudly into the mike and the girls yelling back. Let's just say there were some differences of opinions voiced on several topics, including the sound effects in Come Together vs Walk This Way and other equally important stuff. We talked a bit about our Thailand trip and heard Emily review a couple movies among other topics of conversation. Here is the song list: Josh's Song - Come Together - The Beatles, Jessica's Song - DaisyDunes.com - Bicycle, Emily's Song - Winter In The Hamptons - Josh Rouse, Joanne's Song - Lollipop - Ben Kweller, Fred's Song - When It Flows - Great Lake Swimmers
