In this episode, Sherwin addresses the rumors that he is Chester the Cheetah – the mascot for the orange volcanic Cheetos Snack. In a new segment “Midnight Movie Reviews” Sean discusses Lars Von Trier’s “Melancholia” outside in the cricketty fields at midnight. And we also play some new Fiverr songs – including a song about the soon to be phased out Windows Start button, and several songs commissioned by Radio Ghost listeners. Lastly, but not leastly, we get to know Paul and Grace Potts via a short submitted audio recording of their walk together down the blossoming promenade.

Also for Jess, who liked it when we played it on the show tonight – here’s the “Start Button Song” written, at the $5 request of someone on Fiverr.com about the nearing extinction, in Windows 8, of the little Start button in the lower left hand corner of the PC screen.

Lyrics:
It wasn’t there in 3.1
That little button starting gun
Miss the start, miss the start, miss the start
In 95 and 98
They introduced the starting gate
Miss the start, miss the start, miss the start
With Win XP they really popped
It had a start it never stopped
Miss the start, miss the start, miss the start
Now Vista took away the word
But then the whole OS was served
Miss the start, miss the start, miss the start
In Windows 8 I’m really stunned
No on or off no start button
Miss the start, miss the start, miss the start
So let’s say goodbye to start button
And all go back to 3.1

Sherwin and Sean both have just gotten jobs at the Mount Lemon Academy for Boys and cannot guarantee the steady supply of audio they once could. They do believe that they will continue at the same pace – but uncertainty requires thoughtful concession.
