Just a heads up: I have submitted the new higher-definition feed to iTunes, so hopefully it’ll be accepted soon. Once it is we’ll have a link on the left side of the page. I know there’s some information about this on the last post for Episode 41, but I just wanted to have a direct post with the information as well. If you’d like to subscribe manually to the new feed, the link is:

http://www.pressednbound.com/media/pressednboundhd.xml

In iTunes, you simply just need to go to Advanced -> Subscribe to Podcast. Put the link in there are you’re set. Happy viewing.

Episode 41 of Pressed & Bound is online! In this week’s episode we review:

Books:

• Child of God

Movies:

• City of God

Also just an F.Y.I: We now have a feed for just the High-Def version of the show. You can find that feed here. Links and things on the sidebar will be updated shortly, and we hope to have the new feed syndicated through iTunes as fast as possible, so for now you’ll just have to manually input the feed into whichever feed gathering thingy you use. Enjoy!

Feel free, however, to download the super mega ultra version listed below. Also: the iTunes feed will now point directly to the iPod version.

Have you ever wondered why bad things happen in the world – not just to good people, but to anyone? It always seems random to me, but generally there are enough good people in the world to help when bad things happen. If you read my first post titled “Getting Married Is Busy” you probably would think that I am a conceited prick and you might be correct in your assumption. However, I didn’t mean for the post to be a true reflection of me but rather a reflection of a part of my humor. Apparently that humor has pissed off the gods/powers that be/Karma/etc. Just recently I have experienced the awfulness that life provides sometimes. Yesterday, I had to put over $600 of repairs into a car, which happened to be during monsoon season here in Oklahoma. It sucked. Then, to make matters worse, the chapel in which I am scheduled to be married on May 17 was damaged by the wind. That’s right, the wind broke the STEEPLE off of the chapel and it has punctured a hole in the roof. Currently, the bagillion-pound steeple is resting on the roof. I hope this is fixed promptly. And now, the show is being delayed due to the weather. All of these things may seem random, and they probably are. But as I said before, there are generally enough good people in the world to remedy the problem and so I will defer to a good person: Garret, if you are reading this right now, can you acquire one of those things from MIB where it erases people’s short term memories and use it on all the people who have read my first post and/or know about it? Thanks dude. And then delete my first post. That would be awesome. Hopefully, Karma has subsided by then.

Coming up in Next Time’s Post (as promised): Lars and the Real Girl and Lions for Lambs

This seems to be happening more often than we’d like, but due to some very inclement weather (read: tornados and hail), we are unable to do the show this week. I know it sucks, but to tide you all over, here is a video of three people performing the Tetris theme using bottles and WIND POWER:

And if you hate that, then look at this rendition of the Mario Theme using wine bottles and a remote controlled car. Yeah.

The show should be up next week at its regular time. Thanks for your patience.

Hello Everybody!

I’ve been pondering for the last couple of days as to how I would write my first post as the content writer (I’ve always been a happy person) for Pressed & Bound. I thought about everything from jokes, to high society, to social awareness, and also sincere reviews of popular (or not-so-popular) media. In the end, they all came up short of the foundation-shattering effect that I wanted to impart on all my readers. So the result of all of that endless pondering has produced this: I’ve got nothing. Seriously, what is there to talk about that you can’t already find out for yourself on the internet or from our wonderful talking heads, Joe and Garret. But then I thought “wait a minute, people can’t find out about me unless they talk to me.” Actually, you could find out about me from other people, but in all honesty they are probably liars or illiterates, neither of whom are worth the words used to describe them. So, I want to talk to you about my favorite subject: me. First of all, I’m getting married. In 16 days. To a beautiful woman who directs a non-profit. Now back to me. I like to talk about sports, literature, movies and some other things. I’m a nice person who could probably be friends with everyone. I like dogs, all kinds of food and Joe’s muscly beard. If you want to know more about me, just ask. I’ll be more than happy to answer your questions about my awesomeness.

My name is Andrew Rose and yes, I do sign autographs.

Coming Up In Next Time’s Post: I review the films Lars and the Real Girl and Lions For Lambs.
