By popular(ish) demand, the CFR t-shirt stores now stock long-sleeved shirts!

And do also check out the t-shirt designs by C*POP and Hef, my 16 year-old nephew.

If you’re reading this on the CFR web site you’ll see that some of the links which were cluttering up the sidebar now reside in a nice neat navigator bar just below the header.

Thanks to all who responded to my call for help, and thanks in particular to Philip Rodrigues Singer (aka Philly Cheese), who guided me to the solution this morning. Long live WordPress!

I’d like to free up some space in the sidebar of this page by moving some of the links into the bottom of the header graphic as in the image below:

Any WordPress whizzes out there who can guide me on me how to do this? Any assistance would be much appreciated.

The header graphic is a jpeg and my page design is based on the WordPress theme Benevolence, if this is of any help.

Another instalment in CFR’s Video Chronicles series (which just got established as I wrote this, by the way), in which I invite my friend and colleague Danielle Dieffenthaller to help me tell the story of the video shoot which spelt the end for one unfortunate member of the species Dasyprocta leporina. Sorry we couldn’t put our hands on a copy of the song “Goutimania” as promised on the show.

A couple of new listeners have written in about not being able to find CFR on iTunes. The reason for this is of course the fact that we’re still not listed in the iTunes directory (and will probably never be, from the look of things).

You can still subscribe to CFR using iTunes, however, by doing the following:

1) Open up iTunes

4) Hit “OK” and you should be subscribed.

CFR was featured on yesterday’s edition of Podfinder, the podcast showcase Adam Curry does for the iTunes Music Store. Not sure I’d have been encouraged to listen to CFR on the basis of the clip they selected, and can’t say I’ve seen any significant increase in listenership (though it’s hard to tell these days since my hosts at Libsyn has been having some problems). But thank you, Podfinder.

Sorry I haven’t done a podcast in the past week or so, but all my time lately has been devoted to work and sleep.

Adios, Ibrahim Ferrer.

This episode takes you behind the scenes of a music video shoot for rapso artist Ataklan’s “Shadow in the Dark”. Listen in as I rove the streets of Trinidad annoying the crew with endless queries as to “Where to next?” and “What’s the plan?”, talk to street vendors, babble on about various topics and basically get underfoot during this freewheeling exercise in budget-free filmmaking.

The background music for this episode was produced in record time by the versatile C*POP.
