PLASTIC SOUL BAND

PRESIDENT GAS

The 55th WHIT podcast

Another "Kyu ni" cast. "Kyu ni" means suddenly. "Kyu" sounds like the letter "Q". And "ni" can be translated as "2". Thus "Q2". Also, WHIT's Q2 casts aren't quite as polished as the regular "WHIT-xx-xx-xxx" podcasts.  Q2 casts are sometimes done live, using different recording software than usual, and without a lot of time spent on post production.

This Q2-010 cast is dedicated to Kaishin who gave me some great audio feedback - it's in the show. And Kaishin likes JIndies Rock. So all the music is rock.

The tunes in order

  • 'Johnny' by 'Plastic Soul Band'
  • 'Mark 2' by 'President Gas'
  • 'A Stellar dream' by 'President Gas'.
