Although I don't usually participate these types of blog-tags but when I read Karen's post, The Music of my Life Meme, onPediaScribe yesterday it looked too fun to resist. So, here's my iPod meme. No surprises here, from Kiss to George Jones with some jazz and bluegrass. The rules:
1. Put your music player on shuffle. 2. Press forward for each question. 3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn't make sense. NO CHEATING!

STOCKTON, California (AP) - The Beckwith Family - Matt, Dawn, Emily and Makenzy, have announced the grand opening of their newest website, Pizza Go Here - a family podcast. Nearly 10 years after they started sharing family news and pictures on the world wide web they have jumped on the podcast bandwagon.
"We are so excited to be podcasters" said 8 year old Makenzy. A sentiment that was echoed by her older sister Emily.
Matt said, "The name, Pizza Go Here, came from a famous slip-up my Mom uttered years ago so we thought it fitting to make our announcement on Mother's Day."
Pizza Go Here has already received praise from the handful of select friends, family and other podcasters that were given a recent sneak preview.
The show will feature Emily's joke and video of the week, Mak's Mac tip as well as other random thoughts. The podcast will also feature their "Would You Rather" question.
"We hope that all our friends and family subscribe to the podcast and we hope to get some new listeners as well" said Dawn.
For years you've had MattBeckwith.com and BeckwithWeb.com. Pizza Go Here is a new way to experience this whacky family from California's heartland. "It's like pizza for your ears!" proclaimed Matt.
Visit Pizza Go Here online at pizzagohere.com. If you have no idea what a podcast is or need help subscribing, send an e-mail to help@pizzagohere.com or call the Pizza Go Here listener line at 206-309-1631.

I am a self-professed podcast junky. One of my favorite podcasts is Mostly Trivial, with your host Johnee Bee. After doing some research on the penny-farthing bike I bought recently, I decided to pitch some trivia questions to the show. I was driving home from work, listening to podcasts, and Mostly Trivial started to play. I was blown away when Johnee Bee introduced the category as 'bicycles'. I'm practically famous! Finally, I knew all of the questions. If you haven't listened to Mostly Trivial, give it a try. It is a short, very well produced weekly show.

Pew Internet & American Life Project released it's study on podcast downloading today, 12% of internet users have downloaded a podcast, but only 1% do so on a typical day (check out the study results here). I am part of that 1%. Lately, I spend more time listening to my favorite podcasts than I do the radio. Nearly everyone I know uses the internet; all but a few friends or family members have an active e-mail address and some, like me, have personal web pages. But podcasts? Nope. Besides my twin brother Mike, I don't know anyone who even knows what a podcast is. I have a feeling that the number is actually lower than 1%.
So, who's downloading podcasts? I have a theory. First, let's assume there are two types of podcasts. There are those that are produced professionally (or excerpted from radio shows) and then there are the rest: the mutlitude of 'casts that are done in living rooms and basements in Anytown, USA. This population, the Mom and Pops of podcasting, are the very ones most likely to regularly subscribe to and download podcasts. That's the great thing about podcasting: anyone can do it, and so many actually are. So who's downloading podcasts? Podcasters, and me.
I openly admit that I am a self-professed podcast junkie. I like podcasts because anyone with a computer and a microphone can publish a show. I enjoy podcasts because they are a welcome break from mainstream, overly politically correct, radio. I enjoy podcasts because, given that the audiences are so small, regular people can actually participate with the shows. It's the intimacy of the format that is the cause of it's growing popularity, and the reason that it's mostly podcasters that are downloading podcasts.

OJ's guilty and he is finally bold enough to admit it... or close enough to it. How in the world this guy can go on like he has, without butting a bullet in his head is beyond me. Perhaps his new book, "If I Did It", and interview are his way of getting on with his life. Either way... I'm not interested!

What does Faith Hill have in common with Kayne West or John Kerry? Well, if you were watching the CMA Award show last night it was apparent that she has stolen the playbook of one of them. As we watched the announcement of the female vocalist of the year (I already knew it was Carrie Underwood because I cheated and looked online) it was very clear that Faith Hill blew up when her name wasn't called for the award.
Now, in the aftermath, her manager is saying that it was all a joke. A joke? Like Kerry's recent blunder about "getting stuck in Iraq", she should leave the jokes to the professionals (just as MarkDayComedy said in a recent YouTube spot).
So, was she really ticked about Carrie winning? If so, I would have liked to see a good ol' fashioned cat fight on TV... at least then there wouldn't be a debate about how she really felt.
If you've not seen the clip from last night's show, check out these videos and give me your verdict.

In case you didn't notice, we are busy adding archives from the past several years. Some of our entries from mattbeckwith.com, pizzagohere.com, familyisforever.com and even our old AOL webpages might show up. Some of the links may not be working (especially those to picture pages which have moved). We are trying to clean them up but aren't making any promises. Thanks for stopping by... stay a while... enjoy your visit... drop us a line.
With the start of Emily's and Makenzy's soccer season set to begin in less than 6 hours I have finally got most of the recent pics posted. I used a couple of different formats... let me know which you prefer. Good night!
