Larry Winfield.com: Sundown Lounge podzine

Sundown Lounge is a laid back (and often explicit, you bet your ass...) international weekly podzine of extremely eclectic music, spoken word, weird science, progressive politics, interesting audio goodies, and occasional etc. Physically, I'm in rapidly gentrifying downtown Los Angeles, but metaphysically, my toes are in the sand and the sun is ablaze with deep hues, and a few poets and musicians and scientists have dropped by my beach house to hang out and jam, as the surf whispers nearby...

The Open Mic Stage accepts spoken word and music files for play.
Max of 3 audio pieces, please - MP3, AIFF, Ogg Vorbis files, OR 2 - 3 pieces recorded onto a good quality audiocassette. 4 minutes and under per piece is preferred, unless it's really good. Include a short bio and a photo, if possible.

Via Snailmail: 121 E. 5th St., #302, Los Angeles, CA. 90013.

Via Email: sundownlounge "at" larrywinfield "dot" com. Please submit media download links, no attachments; my email box is too small to accept them, so they'll only get deleted.

The Meaning of "dub"
When you're telling someone about a website without benefit of pen and paper and mention the URL, isn't it clumsy to have to spell out the non-domain part? "http://www." Instead, I use the word "dub" as verbal shorthand that implies the code. So, my site's URL is mentioned in conversation as "dub, larrywinfield.com." When the URL doesn't have "www" in it, just use "slash"...
