If You're Trying to Find the Margaritaville in Glendale, AZ

Entering the Address they give you (6751 N Sunset Blvd, Suite E109 Glendale, AZ 85305) gets you to the wrong place.. Google is completely wrong. It lands you on W Sunset Dr, approximately 7.3 miles from where you want to be -- the Westgate City Center near W Glendale Ave at 93rd Ave in Glendale. If you use this data to plan a trip by bus, you will waste a lot of time.

For whatever reason, Google does not know that this is N Sunset Blvd .. Or, Margaritaville Glendale made their address up. (Although the mall security agents sure seem to think that it their address.)

Jimmy Buffett Podcasts

I've been a long-time listener of Wastin' Away on the North Coast, but I just wanted to take this opportunity to pimp it a little here. They boys discuss the latest Buffett news and gossip and whatever else pops in to their heads (Roger Clyne, usually). They remind me of sitting around with my friends (on the Bradshaw porch, or the Jordan boat). The audio could use a little compression (and normalization), I find myself cranking the volume, and occasionally being blasted by someone too close to a Mic.. but it's worth it.

Just today I discovered The TropiCast Radio Network (The Official Soundtrack of Your Tropical Dreams) .. Jimmy Pirate plays great Trop Rock, unfortunately as a 64K MP3 sampled at 22.05Khz, so it's hard listening occasionally. Maybe they'll upgrade someday.
