The Network Is Down
No proper bloggin’ today – my home internet is out, leaving me bored and stuck on 3G.
How bored?

Finally. As soon as these kick in, Flash Pulp will be up.
Theme Music
[youtube_sc url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBIqLqUenz0]
I got a request to clarify the name of one of the theme songs we’ve been using – so, I thought, if it’s worth doing, it’s worth over-doing. Here’s a complete list of themes we’ve used, with links to downloads where available:
FlashPulp Theme: Paul Whiteman With Johnny Hauser – Gloomy Sunday
Mother Gran: Dock Boggs – Pretty Polly (From Wikipedia: The song is a murder ballad, telling of a young woman lured into the forest where she is killed and buried in a shallow grave. Many variants [Mostly those that stick closer to the traditional British tune – JRD] of the story have the villain as a ship’s carpenter who promises to marry Polly but murders her when she becomes pregnant. When he goes back to sea, he is haunted by her ghost, confesses to the murder, goes mad and dies.)
Mulligan Smith: Harry A. Yerkes Dance Orchestra – Mystery
Thomas Blackhall: Hanafins – Bantry Bay (Hornpipe) (The Wikipedia: The [Irish] town of Bantry, at the head of the bay, is associated with the Irish Rebellion of 1798 as being the place where an earlier attempt to land launch a rebellion was made by a French fleet, including Wolfe Tone in December 1796.)
Joe Monk: The Edison Concert Band – Hot Time March
Fictional Science: Elektro\Ulysses Vibraphonic – Moebius March
Chiller: Berkes Bela – Hej Cigany Hallod E

Delay Of Game
Update II: It’s the future of tomorrow, today!
Update: It’s still not the future.
Our podcast host is in the middle of rocketing our service into the future, and, until such time, publishing new content has been disabled.
Mulligan Smith and The Pregnant Pause will be up as soon as the future is now.
Quick FP Note
I just wanted to mention that we re-posted Episode 002 last night.
Quick Flash Pulp Bulletin
Episode 002, in its current form, is going to be a collector’s item as soon as I can get the production crew back in their shackles – if you want a copy of the original, now’s the time.
Technical Difficulties
Despite the vacation day, and the fact that scripts are done for both 019 and 020, Murphy has had at the podcast with a hammer tonight, and posting just isn’t going to happen.
We apologize – it’ll be up first thing in the morning.
Flash Pulp, Now With 100% More Facebook
Jessica May whipped up a facebook page for our li’l dog & pony show, click above if you’re generally into that sort of thing – it’s definitely appreciated.
Functional Friday
It’s been quite a while since I’ve done a Functional Friday post, and I thought it might be interesting to throw some random Flash Pulp stats out there. (Or, interesting to me at least. Har.)
Episodes: 14
Script Word Count Total: 11,635-ish
Total Run Time: 1h 22m 35s
Most Downloads: #11 – Red Mouth’s Legacy Pt. 5 (Mostly due to Mr. Tom Merritt)
Least Downloads: #3 – The Downtown Couple
Shortest Episode: #12 – 04:16 – Red Mouth’s Legacy Pt. 6
Longest Episode: #6 – 08:43 – Mulligan Smith in The Trunk
I didn’t include our two newest episodes (Say It Ain’t So & Mulligan Smith and The Retired Man) in the popularity contest sections, as the last episode will likely always count as the least downloaded.
Tonight’s episode introduces the first science fiction regular to the cast, and next week should bring a three part Mulligan story.
Whee.
