Anybody else addicted to these yet? They come out twice a month and are released from various shows SBD. Number 18 was my first and both of these have been ridiculously good. Great for fans and newbies alike.[/blurb]

Notes:

* with Miss Tinkle's Overture teases

Believe the Lie, here with an extended ambient intro, is the opening track for the new album Safety In Numbers, due out April 4th. After an always rousing Prowler comes an Uncommon with a unique (uncommon, if you will) extended improvisational take. Smell the Mitten is another in the arsenal of Spinal Tap references across the Umphrey's McGee catalog. To close is another improvisation laden Padgett's Profile that sees the band traversing several moods before dissolving into Thin Air.

48:47 - Making Flippy Floppy >

54:13 - "Jimmy Stewart"^ >

71:26 - Mulche's Odyssey (10.12.05 - Blue Cats, Knoxville, Tennessee)

Total Broadcast Length 81:03

Notes:

* with Bridgeless jam

^ with Nachos for Two teases; with lyrics

The mixed-meter Sociable Jimmy slides into a soaring Jazz Odyssey, before slipping into the unique slow Partyin' Peeps intro. The rare Sweetness inside of Divisions was a treat, while the Bridgeless jam that followed teased the fans (the band delivered said song the following evening). The Talking Heads' Making Flippy Floppy is a springboard for extended improvisation including a tease of the no-longer-played Nachos for Two.

Here's a cool Poscast story, just happened.

I read about UM but couldn't find the podcast. Well i found the Bob Dylan documentary, started listening and heard Its Alright so i decided to sit down and learn the fingerpicking. Now i know a new song :)

Love it, man what a gorgeous song.
