You may have noticed that there have been no recent sermons. Upon realizing this you are probably rocking slowly in the fetal positions at 3am instead of sleeping waiting for the clearly imminent apocalypse. I kind of like that. However, there is no reason to fear. The real reason for this is that my land lord decided that it would be a good idea to literally cut (as in with wire cutters) the cable line going into my apartment without telling me. This is the cable that supplies me with The Internet, which is a very important ingredient in my hybrid sermon-podcast about independent music. I tried very hard to convince him that cutting this cable was not really a good idea. He did a good job of patiently explining to me that he didn’t care. Apparently Comcast didn’t have the right to wire my apartment for cable, which consisted of apparently drilling one .5 inch wide hole. So now some very tedious negotiations are underway in which I will attempt to bribe my landlord’s wife into convincing him that I really do need cheap (kind of) reliable broadband internet service without signing a contract or buying new equipment. However, the general countenance of this man suggests that this might not work well.

Now, it should be very clear to you all that this in no way impacts you except that you will be without podcast for now. I will probably record them at home and then upload them from work. Not exactly ideal but such is the cross I must bear in my ministry. If anyone has any suggestions on how one might “stick it to the man” please email them to the Rt. Rev. Fischer… it would be much appreciated.

In a stunning tactical coup I was able to bribe my landlord’s wife into convincing him to let me have the Internet. So now things can return to normal. Also, here is the Friday podcast:

1) The Fiery Furnaces – I Am Waiting To Know You – Bitter Tea
2) The Flaming Lips – The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song – At War With The Mystics
3) The Figurines – Other Plans – Skeleton
4) The Mgmt – Love Always Remains – Time To Pretend
5) Gnarls Barkley – Storm Coming – St. Elsewhere
6) The Cloud Room – We Sleep In The Ocean – The Cloud Room

As always you can email the Rt. Rev. Fischer with any suggestions, requests, complaints, etc. etc.
