It is Secretly Timid Tuesday and Dallas is frozen. Rather than call in the snow day the cast decided to record via this program called “Skype.” Topics include…um…well…EGYPT, Chik-Fil-A, the Rush Limbaugh/Sen. Leland Yee, Artist Jeff Koons latest performance piece, and Helena Bonham Carter’s fashion. Other topics include Washington University’s decision to cancel Bristol Palin’s speech, Super Bowl craziness, a possible oral sex/cancer link, and this U.S. Map of shame. It’s a snow day! So enjoy this special 2 hour episode. Devyn pops in. Little Andie says ‘hi.’ And Jon got drunk. Don’t judge.
Today’s featured song is “Dirtied Your Knees” by Thrift Store Cowboys

A very special “Happy Birthday” to our number one fan, Devyn. We here at Secretly Timid hope you have a wonderful day. You are 21…so you must drink to excess and wake up in a strange place in a puddle of mystery fluid. Think of it as one of those “rights of passages.”

Hey Guys and Dolls,
Our friends over at Vagrant Records just sent us some tunes from Alexander Ebert. We like what we hear. In fact, Jon liked it so much that he did two cartwheels and attempted the chinese splits. It didn’t end well. Here are two tracks from Ebert’s debut album. Expect a full review in the next couple of weeks.
“Truth”

“Million Years”

Although Paul could not get into the box today, we are still the Fantastic 4. Let’s just say that for today’s episode he is playing the part of the “Invisible Woman”. I suppose that would make Danielle “She-Hulk.” Regardless, let us all mourn our fallen hero, The Human Torch. We will miss you, you flaming hero. On today’s show, Jon, Jill, and Diane talk about Cold Stone Creamery jumping on the frozen yogurt bandwagon, a duo in Austin who were arrested for DWI…on a horse, the autism debate, and whether or not promiscuity may be genetic. Later Jon reviews the album, Early in the Morning, by James Vincent McMorrow.
The featured song for today’s episode is “If I Had a Boat” by James Vincent McMorrow

A short film by Seamus Murphy
On the very first episode of ‘Evening Bender,’ Paul and Jon welcome humanitarian Chelsea Adelman to the Cat Studio. Chelsea shares her travel adventures and offers hitchhiking tips. (Jon’s lawyer/boyfriend advises our listeners to NOT hitchhike.) Later Jill Skypes in and asks Chelsea and Jon what they do when they are alone. P.S. Jon and Chelsea over share sexy talk.
