My Brother Started a Podcast

Uncreative title is uncreative.

For some years now, my brother has spent most of his time in the jungles of Peru (yes, really) doing biological studies. Tracking and cataloguing local wildlife and such.

Now, he and his team have decided to launch a podcast called Field Stories in which they’ll recount the colourful (mis)adventures they get up to down in the South American wilds. In the first episode, he and his co-host introduce themselves and share some stories of their own.

My brother is the exceedingly tall man on the right.

Song of the Month: Metric, Who Would You Be for Me

As I’ve probably mentioned before, I was not terribly happy with Metric’s Formentera album. It had only a couple songs I liked, and even those didn’t really feel like their best work. I was understandably less than thrilled when they released a sequel, Formentera II, a few weeks ago, and sadly, I found it even more disappointing than its forebear.

There’s only one song on this album I like, but on the plus side, it is truly excellent, and a welcome sign that Metric has not yet lost their mojo entirely.
