Hey folks, Brendan here. While this isn't technically a "Scamper Podcast" (because the only member of Scamper involved in the foolish thing is yours truly), I thought you guys might want to hear it, so I posted it up here in the "Podcast" section. Unfortunately, Scamper.net doesn't have a "Self-Indulgent Drunken Tripe" section, per se (although my Journal is pretty close to that most days), so this page seems the closest to appropriate.

For the past couple of years, my friend Madden and I have been blowing off a day of work to goof off. We usually engage in some incredibly nerdy activity, eat way too much junk food and drink down the contents of an antique liquor cabinet each. This, good people, has been deemed the Day of Fun.

June 1, 2006 was the chosen date for the third annual edition of the Day of Fun and this year, Madden and I were lucky to be joined by our good buddy/convicted llama sex offender Hogg. We also invited the little podmachine and captured the day's festivities for posterity. Bloobiddy bloo!

So feel free to click the link below and listen to this little mini-podcast. It's probably boring to most folks, but I always have a good laugh at hearing my friends and myself becoming progressively drunker throughout the day, so there you go. Be warned - if you're offended by foul language, juvenile humor and honest discussion of the impending robot uprising, you're in the wrong fucking place, Frodo. Enjoy.

You can read more about the Day of Fun hnyaw. Thanks to Harris for lending me the music for the beginning and end.

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, good bye. Like a sappy movie or a favorite pet's terminal illness, Season 1 of the Scamper Podcast comes to a tear-jerking conclusion.

This week on the Scamper Podcast:

1. Scamper takes this one last opportunity to shamelessly self-promote, as we play some music by... Scamper. Including a never-before-released song from the upcoming Boulevards EP.
2. The boys wax nostalgic about the Podcast season that was and look toward an uncertain, but hopeful future.
3. Music from this year's winner of the WBCN Rock and Roll Rumble. Spoiler alert!

Do you enjoy the sputtering last gasp of a diseased and dying goose? Then this podcast is for you!

Come on ride the train (hoo hoo!)... and ride it (hoo hoo!). This podcast party train has only got a couple of stops left, so store your luggage securely in the overhead compartment. That's right - we'll mix transportation metaphors on your asses. This week on the podcast:

1. Once again, we are broadcasting sort of live on tape from a van; this week outside the Middle East before our WBCN Rumble semifinals show. Four sweaty men in suits in a steamy van. Yum.
2. The final episode of "Nate Sets U Str8," subtitled "The One in Which Nate Finally Goes Round the Bend."
3. An in-depth interview with Scamper's better half, the lovely Alena.
4. Mike exposes his sensitive, beautiful poetic soul in a segment entitled "What Up Wit Dat Bitch?"
5. Music from legendary Boston rock heroes Fooled By April.

And so much freakin' more! Whoomp, there it is! Please Scamper, Don't Hurt 'Em with your Ed Lover Dance 1990!

Like a deep hacking cough that the antibiotics just can't seem to kick out of your aching wheezing chest, the Scamper Podcast invades your sinuses for yet another week. On this week's show:

1. We broadcast live on tape on location from Brandeis University, home of the Fighting Walnut Scrapers. So put a tie on the door and light up that doobie - it's c-c-college!
2. Relive the glory and grandeur of Scamper's unexpected upset victory in Round 1 of the WBCN Rock and Roll Rumble in Brendan's audio journal.
3. Kick ass music from fellow Rumble semifinalists The Campaign for Real-Time and Appomattox. Catch them now while their clothes aren't all bloody from ripping us a new one on stage in the semi-finals.

Plus, we say some stuff. And then some other stuff.

3. More Nate than you can shake the proverbial stick at - Volume 2 of "Nate Sets U Str8."
4. Scamper predicts the results of the Rumble, the major league baseball season and the results of the 2008 Presidential election (five words for you: surprise candidate Billy Dee Williams).

Hey hey, it's the eighth episode of the Scamper Podcast! And believe you me - Eight is definitely more than Enough! Get it? Because of the TV show? From the seventies???

This week on Episode 1.8 of the Scamper Podcast:

1. The three remaining and befuddled members of Scamper try to solve the greatest mystery of the ages: where's Nate? Turns out he's right there, behind Waldo. No, wait - that's not Waldo. It's a crack whore that looks like Waldo. Don't feel bad - it's a common mistake.
2. The warm-up to next week's WBCN Rock and Roll Rumblecontinues with music from the lovely and talented Casey Desmond.
3. Longtime male companions Keith and Nate test their extensive knowledge of each other's deepest secrets in a fun new game show: The Bandlywed Game!
4. More Rumble-riffic rock and roll with local studs the Rudds.

All this and a whole lot more! Okay, it's not that much more. That's about the long and short of it. We don't want to oversell you or anything.

2. Our lucky contestant Justin tries his luck at the infamous $25 Scampyramid. The tension! The drama! The humanity of it all!

4. Scamper finally uses this podcast technology to do some good in the world as we debut a new segment: "Nate Sets U Str8." You know - for kids.
