Flashback: Acid.Funk.Digital
This week we flashback to another of DJDeedle's favorite classic Deedlecasts. Acid.Funk.Digital was too caustic for funk, too funky for acid, and totally digital back in April of 2008. It still is all those things and more in April 2014.

Flashback: Glitch
Even the smoothest running system can encounter a glitch or two. In digital music, bit rate reduction, digital distortion, hardware noise, computer bugs, crashes and system errors can ruin an otherwise flawless musical composition or performance, and be the source of endless agony and frustration. But sometimes, used in the right way, glitches can work a kind of magic on an otherwise mundane sound.
What is interesting about the glitch aesthetic is that it is hard to tell sometimes what sounds are "erroneously" produced, and which are intentional.
This week's Deedlecast is presented in its unedited entirety, glitches and all, and hopefully better for it.

A Short Break
As we close in on 8 years of weekly Deedlecast, DJDeedle has decided to take a short break to recharge his creative engines, upgrade his technology, and re-engage his musical muses. That just means a little hiatus from weekly production. But he'll never make you face a Friday without facing the music. So, each Friday during the hiatus he'll be highlighting classic shows from the archives, remastered works, and other "lost" episodes.
With over 400 episodes and singles, there's much to choose from. Because of the great volume of shows in the archive, Deedlecast's RSS feed only goes back 200 or so shows, so those of you who have subscribed to the podcast in the past few years may have missed some of these gems. All the shows are available on DJDeedle.com. But, unfortunately, given the limits of technology, those subscribing via iTunes and other podcast apps may not be able to capture some of the earlier shows directly to their devices. In the next few weeks while DJDeedle works under the hood tweaking and upgrading Deedlecast and DJDeedle.com, enjoy these classic flashbacks.

Fast Break
Everyone needs a break now and then, and DJDeedle's no exception. As Deedlecast closes in on the end of its eighth year, DJDeedle's going to take a little hiatus from weekly production. This week's show has all the quick changes and fast breaks you love. This final Deedlecast of 2013, "Fast Break," will be the last new show for a bit while DJDeedle enjoys a little hiatus, a creative vacation.
Don't worry. You'll still be able to face the music every Friday, even while DJDeedle's resting. Each week during the break, we'll feature a classic Deedlecast, remastered and re-released. The break will be a great time for those of you who've tuned in for years to rehear some of those great old shows. For those of you who are newer to Deedlecast, you can discover some great shows from the archive that you've missed.
