We are a group of guys podcasting about the music of singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett -- as viewed from the Great Lakes State. But since there is beer involved, who knows what we will end up talking about.

On the agenda: a review of Jimmy's new digital download EP. What we really talked about: more bitching about how Ticketmaster sucks. (Special guests: Joe and Jennifer.)

Schmoe's playlist project better end soon because I'm running out of football puns. This week, it's Greg's turn. Also, the guys show off their lyric writing skills.
This being the day after our local Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers show, you can probably guess what the topic is. But we also find time to discuss JB's two Paris concerts. (Cameos by Jennifer.)
The gang finally sits down for their Last Mango in Paris review. With his Houston hotel flooded following Hurricane Ike, Mike is still in town and was able to join us in person. Greg and Scott join Schmoe and Mickey as well, for a raucous and rambling discussion just like old times. (Special guest: Jennifer.)
What was intended to be our review for Last Mango in Paris turns into a rehearsal for our review for Last Mango in Paris. Guests include Lee, Cindy, Jen II, and another special message from Scott.

Our bad luck streak with tech continues as the guys try their first Skype call to discuss Listener Ed's review of the Alpine Valley concert.
Mike was free and in town which set in motion this bonus podcast. We study the first concert of the third leg of the tour; but we waited so long to begin, we were well in our cups by the start of recording, leading to one of our wildest, loudest, most drunken episodes!
Wherein our heroes talk about ... umm ... ehhh ... stuff ... kinda. And at least Mickey proves he can record and make phone calls at the same time. (Voices: Scott, Greg, Mickey, Mike, Schmoe and special guest Ashley.)
We've complained in the past about the prevalence of cover songs in Jimmy's albums and on tour, but now, in a new North Coast fourcast, we choose what covers we do like. A big crowd tonight with Schmoe, Greg, Mike, Mickey, Scott, Patti, and Larry on the panel, with guest appearances by DJ, Nathan, and Rachel.

The title refers to both Crazy Rummy and the fact Greg and Mickey finally offer up the first of our ultimate setlists. Special guests: Rachel and Nathan.)
A bonus podcast, recorded at Casa de Schmoe. The boys rehash the headlines, review "Swine Not?", take another look at fantasy setlists, and learn something disturbing about Greg.
Here comes another podcast about Roger Clyne...and Mexico! They just can't help themselves: Mike and Schmoe went to RCPM's Circus Mexicus in Puerto Penasco last weekend, and are full of stories. For those of you hungry for Buffett content, they at least made a stop at the new Margaritaville Cafe in Glendale AZ along the way. (Special appearances by DJ and Rachel.)
For a short episode this sure took a long time to edit. Schmoe, Greg, and Mickey see out our second year and kick off our third looking back at the tour's first leg and looking ahead at a new project. (Special appearance by Jen.)
With the start of our new season and Jimmy's concert tour coinciding, we bant-- I mean, we discuss the new setlist. (Panel includes Greg, Scott, Schmoe, Mickey, and, once again in person, Mike. Cameo appearance by DJ.)

I left WCSX (94.7 FM) on all day Thursday but came home to find my recorder had crapped out after only ninety minutes. I immediately continued recording, and lucked out in that I was able to catch the commercial about three hours later -- leaving the following morning free for ticket buying!

The boys continue their discussion of the box set with disc three, Bars. But to be blunt, this one sucks.
