A very special “Happy Birthday” to our number one fan, Devyn. We here at Secretly Timid hope you have a wonderful day. You are 21…so you must drink to excess and wake up in a strange place in a puddle of mystery fluid. Think of it as one of those “rights of passages.”

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Our friends over at Vagrant Records just sent us some tunes from Alexander Ebert. We like what we hear. In fact, Jon liked it so much that he did two cartwheels and attempted the chinese splits. It didn’t end well. Here are two tracks from Ebert’s debut album. Expect a full review in the next couple of weeks.
“Truth”

“Million Years”

Although Paul could not get into the box today, we are still the Fantastic 4. Let’s just say that for today’s episode he is playing the part of the “Invisible Woman”. I suppose that would make Danielle “She-Hulk.” Regardless, let us all mourn our fallen hero, The Human Torch. We will miss you, you flaming hero. On today’s show, Jon, Jill, and Diane talk about Cold Stone Creamery jumping on the frozen yogurt bandwagon, a duo in Austin who were arrested for DWI…on a horse, the autism debate, and whether or not promiscuity may be genetic. Later Jon reviews the album, Early in the Morning, by James Vincent McMorrow.
The featured song for today’s episode is “If I Had a Boat” by James Vincent McMorrow

This show is truly a comedy of errors. Paul turns into a robot and is unceremoniously cut off by the Skype Gods.  Jon talks poker/Jill yawns/Diane blinks. The trio sans robot discuss over-sharing in private settings, home school vs. public schooling your children, and Jill’s new big girl bed. News stories include  a college student who paid for his tuition with one dollar bills,  Gucci Mane’s hot new ink, and Starbuck’s new trenta size.
(Post Show Script – Jon unkinked the kinks. It is amazing what 8 bucks and a conversation with the hot guy at Radio Shack can do!)
The featured song for today’s episode is “Dirty Thing” by Telekinesis.

On today’s episode Jill shares that she hates 80’s movies [gasp] and Jon shares his new television obsession, Pit Bulls and Parolees. Jon also discusses this editorial about Mel, one of Michael Vick’s victims. Later the cast discuss Stanford’s crazy marching band, an iPhone app that could make life easier for the color blind, and a possible organ donation which could allow criminal sisters an early release from the pokey. Speaking of jail, a Dallas parolee was just declared innocent after spending 30 years in jail.  Other news stories covered this episode include two interesting studies; one which explores the differences in conservative and liberals brains, and the other which discovered that the wealthy have trouble detecting emotions.
