| PAST EPISODES | | Episode 52 | October 5th, 2008 | It's been a looong summer, but when cool autumn breezes kiss the cheeks of fresh freshwomen, you know it's time for some a cappella edification. Or, put another way, when your ass is back in class so are we. We've go a lot of pent up a cappella energy from this summer ready to be unleashed. The Fall '08 semester is now in session!

| | | Episode 49 | May 3rd, 2008 | This is about as normal an Episode of Acappella U as you're likely to find - great music, listener mail, inane commentary, everything that makes the show great and turned Joey into a celebrity (yeah right), and not a drop more. Next week we'll be hanging out in NYC for Episode 5-oh and the ICCA Finals, but for now much on some Rambler Bits dipped in Cream of Testimony.

| | | Episode 47 | March 31st, 2008 | Wow. So this took a while, but FINALLY our On The Rocks premiere episode is finished! See, originally this was supposed to be OTR AND Divisi, but then the Divisi stuff wasn't finished yet and. . . well, you get the picture. The point is, Pete Hollens et. al. have put together a great CD. We plug in some Appalachian State a cappella to fill the gaping hole left by Divisi (is 'gaping hole' politically correct??) and talk about our new show, Acappella U HD.
| | | Episode 46 | February 28th, 2008 | The votes are in and, well, you won't be rid of me so easily. Mwahahahaha! It turns out that many of you enjoy, and dare I say look forward to my episodily commentaries. But as usual, I am willing to bow to your wishes and give everybody everything they want. . . . sort of. Midwestern a cappella occupies the first two slots this week, again this is due to student (whining) suggestions. Oh, and FSU's All Night Yahtzee returns to the U, replete with ICCA Quarterfinals victory garb. Huzzah!

| | | Episode 45 | January 30th, 2008 | By (apparently) popular demand, we're trying out a new condensed (read: no talking) show format. The last few reviews on iTunes have been un-erringly critical of my yip-yapping, so we'll see how this goes over - after all, the audience is always right. Tell us what you think, and maybe shoot us a nice review over on iTunes - we need the love!
Blurry (Puddle of Mudd / Chordials)

| | | Episode 44 | January 22nd, 2008 | We know, it's actually been less than a month, buy if our new, er, supporters have their way we'll be delivering the goods a lot more often. Auditorily scope the new Oregon hotness, aka OSU Outspoken. Mix in some Cornell and you've got a hell of an a cappella cocktail, just remember to Sing Responsibly. OK that was lame, but it's like, 14 degrees out, and our brains are frozen.

But now we're back and stylin' in our new studio, thanks to some venture capital moolah. We also dropped some serious coin stocking up on premium music for your listening pleasure. We're even hiring!

| | | Episode 42 | August 27th, 2007 | 'Back to school, back to school, to prove to dad that I'm not a fool.' Ah, the end of summer begets a new school year bedecked with $140 backpacks, a cornucopia of halter tops, and 'great for dorm room' crap from Target. And who better to put teh dopest a cappella licks to your otherwise run-of-the-mill BTS experience than Acappella U?? That's what I thought. Oh, and please watch Flight of the Conhords as soon as humanly possible.

Not that Joey ever leaves his audience dissapointed, especially the ladies;-) We're rolling out non-stop heavy hitters for the occasion, including the new Dear Abbeys, Beelzebubs, and Noteworthy. No, not that Noteworthy. The OTHER Noteworthy, who is still, um, Noteworthy.

| | | Episode 39 | May 30th, 2007 | In true collegiate fashion, we're cramming to get that thesis done by the deadline. We haven't come up with a topic yet, and it's due Friday, but we're sure something will come to us if we just watch a little bit more of the History Channel. This go-round we bring you some quality, mid-major a cappella, music that DOSEN'T make you wonder if it is, indeed, actually made entirely by singers. This is the bread and butter of collegiate a cappella, the backbone if you will, the sort of salt-of-the-earth, middle-class a cappella that this university was built on. Well, not really, but that sounded good, right?

While BYU continues to conqor the known world of collegiate a cappella, we decide to take a couple of hits from the sunshine hooka (tobacco of course) with UCLAs Awaken A Cappella, because after, Life's a Beach, man. We're happy that the Spartans/Pan Greek Army eventually won the war, that the crew of Galactica got to hear some Hendrix and that those come in mesquite flavor now. What is mesquite?

| | | Music Videocast Episode 2 | October 21st, 2006 | Here's the first of two videocasts you'll be seeing from our trip to Ithaca College. We decided to do do music videos this month instead of one plus a masterclass because this concert had two groups at it. This first one features Ithacappella's guest group, the Tufts Amalgamates. The video featuring Ithacappella should be up by the 30th or so. Enjoy!
| | | Episode 25 | October 11th, 2006 | What a weekend - Ithaca NY is one kuh-razy place, and the Acappella U team wound up passed out in a strange basement with strangers all around us, but we still managed to make it home in time to get this filthily good episode up on the internet-waves (that's actual physiks). We had a blast meeting the Amalgamates and Ithacappella, taping the concert, and throwing people out of the party house when she could house no more. All in all we learned three things -
1) That guy with the eyebrow ring is pretty sweet (at singing). So's the black guy. And the really skinny guy.*
2) Joey is a very streaky beer pong player
3) Rymachine needs to learn to keep his hands off the talent
Oh, and 'Zombie' from Baggage Claim will be on BOCA 2007 - we're calling it. Here's the rep-uh-toire
'Island In the Sun' (Weezer/MIT Logs)

| | | Episode 24 | October 3rd, 2006 | All right Class, this lesson is one for the History pages, quite literally! Chad Bergeron submits his doctoral thesis to Acappella U this week, which coincidentally focuses on the history of collegiate a cappella. On top of being filled to the brim with Joey's corny shtick and jokes (which closely resemble the atrocity in the opening sentence), this episode is full of some classic a cappella songs that will broaden your educational horizons here at the U. Standout groups such as the Stanford U Fleet Street singers provide some interesting and truly original arrangements that make for an entire lecture of collegiate a cappella history, coupled of course with a contemporary hit to satisfy all of our full time students who are not history majors. So come on in, fire up your laptop, and get ready for an exciting class...

| | | Episode 11 | March 2nd, 2006 | This episode is a double-header. I took the material I got from both the Rochester (Feb. 18th) and Cornell (Feb. 25th) ICCA shows and combined them into one extra-large helping of collegiate a cappella. The second show, as promised, features all Cornell music except for the 'Winners Circle.' Thanks to Hayley, the Midnight Ramblers, After 8, Sarah, Bryce, Steve, James C.C., The Diesel, Stevie J. and every one else who made these last couple of weeks possible.

This was a bit of a learning experience, particularly with the audio levels during interviews, so you may have to adjust your volume a bit. We'll be much better next time, though. Several of our Loyal Listeners found the booth and said hi, and we had a lot of new folks interested as well. I also got the chance to sit down and have a chat with Maxine Sharavsky, the ICCA NE region producer.

| | | Episode 1 | September 6th, 2005 | First episode!!! This will hopefully be a weekly podcast. I've arbitrarily decided that 20 downloads warrants me doing another episode after this, so listen, my people!! Introduction to show concept, includes music from the Tufts Beelzebubs, U Penn Off the Beat, Buffalo Chips, Brown Derbies and Skidmore Bandersnatchers. I?m looking for groups who would like to be in our Feature Group segment, basically we'll do a phone interview with a couple members, talk about your website, concerts, albums, etc., and spin a couple of your choice cuts. This weeks poll: top five college acappella songs ever, email them to acappellau@mac.com All-female groups, this is a cry for HELP! I have no all-girl music to play on my podcast, please help a guy out! Happy downloading
