If politics is “show business for ugly people,” the Scenecast suggests the leading candidates for Senate take a page from the Brangelina/Bennifer playbook and combine to form the media behemoth FORKER. This would save the electorate massive time and energy trying to tell the difference between the two and the remaining political season could then be lulled away to the dulcet tones of Howling Hex, Muse, The Stills, Sandra McCracken, Cheyenne Kimball, Thornton, Sufjan Stevens, Weird Weeds, My Brightest Diamond, Tony Joe White, Supersuckers, The Duhks, As Tall As Lions, Sparklehorse and the most aptly named of the season, I Love You But I Have Chosen Darkness.   Spread The Love (but leave the darkness to professionals)

The Scenecast is in MPEG-4 format to take advantage of chapter and image technology that .m4a files support. Microsoft's Windows Media Player doesn't support these files by default, though users can download and install Windows Media Player additions so that it will.

As an alternative to updating Windows Media Player, a .mp3 version of the Scenecast is available above. And, of course, Apple's iTunes supports .m4a files for both Windows and Macintosh platforms.

You may also subscribe to the Scenecast and have iTunes download it for you automatically whenever the latest episode is available. To subscribe, launch iTunes and follow the steps below:

2. Launch iTunes.
3. On the Advanced menu, click Subscribe to podcast.
4. Paste (CTRL-V on Windows, Command-V on a Mac) the link you copied in Step 1 into the URL field.
5. iTunes will download the latest episode of Scenecast into the Podcasts group of your iTunes library. You can modify how often iTunes checks for updates, how long it keeps old episodes, and more by choosing Preferences under the Edit menu and then clicking the Podcasts tab.
