If you listen closely to this recording, you might notice a happy accident.

There's an eerie vibrato effect on John's guitar. I think it's because we recorded everything with one mic, and Josh's percussion happens to sync up with John's strumming and kind of cancels out the "attack."

I think it sounds fantastic. It reminds me of the guitar effect on The Smiths' "How Soon is Now?" and it was purely unintentional(!) I hope I'm not the only one who's hearing that. Maybe I'm going bonkers.

Thanks for fixing that, my car was running, and I did not know where I should go. Keep up the good work, & thanks for making me laugh.

Due to an error while uploading this week's podcast, last week's episode was offered again as an unintentional "rerun." We choose to blame the error on ... uh ... unusual sunspot activity.

The correct episode, dated Sept. 24, is now available above for your listening pleasure.

If you enjoyed the Grits 'n' Gravy stuff we posted yesterday, you'll want to check this out:

This is their Aug. 13 in-studio performance of an original song with the working title of "Simmons' Blues Song No. 1."

Whoopsie-daisy. In this week's "Six Minutes Over Hutchinson," we mention the movie "Changeling" (hint: it's not the movie Jorge rants on angrily about). Kay and Jorge have since learned the movie theater ad we looked at is incorrect, and "Changeling" is coming to town Friday, Dec. 12. However, we still stand by our grouchy views on "Punisher: War Zone," which opens today.

The two movies Kay and I

Jorge Sosa — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 11:03:27 -0500

The two movies Kay and I chatted about in the most recent edition of "Six Minutes Over Hutchinson" reigned at the box office this weekend.

"Kung Fu Panda" took the top spot with $60 million and "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" took $40 million.

I saw "Kung Fu Panda" Saturday and it's probably my favorite movie of the summer so far. It was very well written, had some great fight scenes and lots of laughs. Of course, they leave a coupe loose ends untied. I smell sequel bait. I you haven't seen it yet, be sure to stick around through the end credits.

Did any of you see "You Don't Mess with the Zohan?" That looked funny, too. How was it?

I'm not a charter member of the Keanu fan club or anything, but can you really picture anyone else in “The Matrix?” Whoa! I know kung fu! Excellent! :-)

Aura_Lee — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 11:02:43 -0500

Not that you care, but I won't see either movie. Prom Night appears to be another movie about some lunatic chasing around some girl that screams just as much as the girl that would be sitting behind me kicking my seat at the theater. I would rather see a movie like this where they do all the killing and get through the so called plot in the first 10 minutes, and then show previews for an hour and a half.

I thought the previews to Street Kings looked good, but I have a really hard time watching Keanu. He is almost as bad of an actor as Nick Cage. I like to watch movies and be able to forget the actor and focus on the character. When I see Keanu act, I just see some dude regurgitating lines.

“Prom Night” ruled the

Jorge Sosa — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 10:24:30 -0500

“Prom Night” ruled the box office this weekend, bringing in $22.7 million in nationwide box office. The other new movie Kay and I blabbed about, “Street Kings,” came in at slightly more than half of that — $12 million. Did any of you out in Leaderland see either or both? What did you think? Which of the two makes a better date movie?

I agree. I enjoyed it a lot, too. The Hutchinson Theatre Company always does a great job. This one was a whodunnit and it held my interest from beginning to end. Here's what happens at the end — just kidding. I'd highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for something to do this weekend.

I went and it was great! I can't say much as I don't want to give anything away, but it was well worth it! Great job cast and director!
If you have the chance, you must see it!

Did anyone go to see “The Mousetrap” last weekend? When we chatted with director Mary Haugen for last week's podcast (click here to listen if you missed it :-) ), she promised there'd be a few startling jolts.

I've never been to a theater performance that made me jump, and I was wondering how that works. Back in 1959, the horror movie “The Tingler” featured vibrating buzzers in the seats to startle audience members. Now, there's an idea.
