Girlfriend of the Week Dave is dating the voice of Jessica Drennon from the UVA New Dominions.  Christopher wants to make it a quintuple date.

Arrangement Spotlight “The” UofO Divisi can make tremolo guitar sounds with their tongues.

Better Than the Original The vocal band Eclipse performs “Owner of a Lonely Heart” better than the original version by Yes by using a killer lip buzz instead of an octavized bass.  See?  High tenors can be basses too.

In Your Earbuds Lately Christopher has been listening to Theresa Andersson, who uses live looping to make amazing music.  You can do it too!  WATCH THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO.  Repeat.

Album Review Foooooooooooooork!  Was there any question we’d like this album?  Ssso sensssual.

    Love this podcast! Hilarious and very interesting–I’m encouraging the aca-leaders of the groups at my alma mater to start listening and learning.

    Just an idea for another segment–maybe you could feature groups that take a totally different spin on a song (i.e. the Harmonics’ “Sounds of Silence” or “Brown Eyed Girl” by the Scattertones). I love it when groups do something different by changing the chord progression, tempo, changing the solo line, etc.

    I also wish everyone in the world would sensor using “joh-doh.” So great.

    Suggestion for Better than the Original – “Come Sail Away” by the Beelzebubs. Well, ok, pretty much anything by the Bubs is better than the original, but this song in particular is infinity to the 52nd power-times better than the Styx version.

    Hey, does anybody know where in the US to get Fork’s CD? I’ve tried the usual places (iTunes, Amazon, a-cappella.com, singers.com, acatunes — not necessarily in that order), and have had no luck. I’m not looking forward to spending 18 euros plus international shipping for it, and I don’t anticipate them showing up in California anytime soon — can anybody help an a cappella geek out?

    Hey Joel,

    You can purchase FORK’s newest album, Helsinki, through Fork’s website, http://www.fork.fi. It can be a bit difficult to navigate if you don’t speak Finnish so, we’ve created another link through our website, http://liquid5th.com/fork/. You’ll need a PayPal account, but it’s pretty straightforward.

    Hope you enjoy it!!
