Car Talk, The Neon of Dorian Gray, April 27, 2013, Hörbuch, Digital, 53min
This week on Car Talk, Ian's Neon has discovered the Fountain of Youth. When the car goes over 50 MPH, the odometer begins running backwards. Can Tom and Ray figure out what's going on before the car drives itself all the way back to the assembly plant? Elsewhere, automotive history is made in Oregon, as Jim becomes the first person ever to feel guilty about selling a used car that's performing too well for its new owner; on Stump the Chumps, we find out Dana's jerking Jetta was really due to the dreaded, "Shmutz on the Clutch"; and Tom and Ray finally get judged by their peers, as an 8th grade class reviews our show. Could Roger Ebert have topped, "I think the show is a good idea because people like listening to idiots"? All this, and lots more, this week on Car Talk.

Dharma Wheels: Zen, Motorcycling and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 729min
Dharma Wheels tells two stories as one.First: the story of a motorcycle trip through 10 western states that lie between the 105th meridian and the sea. Glacial mornings silent except for the squeak of still-cold leathers. Pinion smoke wafting over late-night country lanes. Meteors crisscrossing Red Rock Canyon lands like some jai alai game of the gods. Six weeks sans phone or screens, the ticking of the odometer the only clock. Dharma Wheels is a love letter to the art of motorcycling. Second: the ancient, ever-new story of the human quest for happiness. Itself a journey, this quest is the backstory to any tale of the road. As a cognitive therapist and Zen practitioner, the author's whole life has been an inquiry into the habits of heart and mind that enable us to live and die well. These twin disciplines provide the means to recognize and relinquish the cognitive filters that cloud a direct apprehension of reality. Classic Zen texts and fMRI machines now agree: Throughout space and time, well-being is one the world over. Through the lens of science East and West, Dharma Wheels snaps into sharp focus the moving parts of this wellness. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Mintie.

Car Talk Field Guide to the North American Wacko, Hörbuch, Digital, 203min
A radio road trip across America features some of the nuttiest callers ever to phone the show. Each week millions of radio listeners tune in to National Public Radio's Car Talk. A high point of every show is the call-in segment, when listeners phone in for advice and regale hosts Click and Clack with tales of their own automotive misadventures. Like Dave from Bemidji, Minnesota, who drives his Chevy Cavalier home from Alaska when it already has 350,000 miles on the odometer. And Dinesh, who strolls across Death Valley. Rather than worry about buzzards, he's concerned about how his car will hold up in the heat. Christy wants to know if she fried her dad's Citation. Adrienne frets that a load of rocks might crush her Saab. Single guy John wonders if he should tidy up his car for a first date or reveal its trashy self. And when Ann's husband travels from Georgia to Florida to get his vasectomy reversed, Ann drives like a banshee to bring him back home. Ever since, their Caravan makes strange grinding noises. It seems that lunatics aren't confined to Car Talk Plaza. They're everywhere, and they're dialing the phone. Four hilarious radio shows celebrate the land of the free, home of the wacko.

Gas or Ass: The 'Cuda Confessions, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 470min, (USK 18)
Not every relationship is about love. The odometer on my sex life was stuck at zero the day my mother dragged home a husband I'd never met. Dale brought his two grown sons to help us pack and move into their house. Both were hard-bodied and handsome, but Caine didn't speak to me. Colt, on the other hand, said crude stuff like, "Wanna ride with me? Then I'm gonna need gas or ass," but I couldn't take my eyes off his rippling muscles and challenging blue eyes. Some are about speed, sex, and defiance. When Colt offered me a ride to school, I thought the "gas or ass" thing was a joke, but he wasn't kidding. Though he barely touched me, he shattered the innocence I couldn't wait to shed, and even then, I sensed I'd never be the same. He and Caine soon upped the stakes, putting me behind the wheel of cars that could reach insane speeds. They kept challenging me to find my inner wild child, pairing illegal drag races with high-octane sex games, like "winner gets head". And some are about trying to break you. It wasn't long before I was hooked, but I always planned to walk away. Then everything spun out of control, and walking wasn't an option. I had to run. Disclaimer: This is a tale of a young girl's crush that turns to hatred and back to love. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patty Mo.

Rabbits (eBook, ePUB)
Conspiracies abound in this surreal and yet all-too-real technothriller in which a deadly underground alternate reality game might just be altering reality itself, set in the same world as the popular Rabbits podcast. It's an average work day. You've been wrapped up in a task, and you check the clock when you come up for air-4:44 pm. You go to check your email, and 44 unread messages have built up. With a shock, you realize it is April 4th-4/4. And when you get in your car to drive home, your odometer reads 44,444. Coincidence? Or have you just seen the edge of a rabbit hole? Rabbits is a mysterious alternate reality game so vast it uses our global reality as its canvas. Since the game first started in 1959, ten iterations have appeared and nine winners have been declared. The identity of these winners are unknown. So is their reward, which is whispered to be NSA or CIA recruitment, vast wealth, immortality, or perhaps even the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe itself. But the deeper you get, the more deadly the game becomes. Players have died in the past-and the body count is rising. And now the eleventh round is about to begin. Enter K-a Rabbits obsessive who has been trying to find a way into the game for years. That path opens when K is approached by billionaire Alan Scarpio, the alleged winner of the sixth iteration. Scarpio says that something has gone wrong with the game and that K needs to fix it before Eleven starts, or the whole world will pay the price. Five days later, Scarpio is declared missing. Two weeks after that, K blows the deadline and Eleven begins. And suddenly, the fate of the entire universe is at stake.- Shop: buecher

927 Days of Summer: Drive Nacho Drive, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 859min
In their book Drive Nacho Drive, Brad and Sheena Van Orden traded the American Dream for the open road, and set off in their temperamental 1984 VW van named "Nacho." After 13 months of humorous and sometimes demoralizing misadventures along the Pan-American Highway, our intrepid subjects eventually arrived at the southernmost town in the world in Tierra del Fuego. This is where 927 Days of Summer picks up the trail. After shipping Nacho from Argentina to Malaysia on a container ship, Brad and Sheena resume their journey, this time with the ambitious goal of driving all the way around the world. When they roll out of the shipping container onto Malaysian soil, their odometer turns over to 300,000 miles. Is Nacho really up for the brutal journey ahead? This hilarious and harrowing tale cuts through the sweltering jungles of Southeast Asia to the buzzing hornet's nest of India, from the remote Nepalese Himalayas to the stony hills of Anatolia, on to the Sahara Desert of Africa, through Europe and beyond. Whether dodging rickshaws on crater-filled roads, defying Maoist rebels on cliff-hanging Himalayan tracks, getting hopelessly stuck in the desert on the Pakistani border, or becoming the subjects of an international missing persons' case in the remote mountains of Laos, there is never a dull moment in 927 Days of Summer. Come along as a diverse cast of characters guides our determined travelers through a world of unfolding landscapes and cultures on the road trip to end all road trips, and then ask yourself: can you really just go home, unpack, and eat a sandwich? ungekürzt.

Angela's Asleep
About 'Angela's Asleep' by Charlie Crow Initial CD by Charlie Crow Appeals to Americana Fans A new CD of songs written and sung by Charlie Crow, singer/songwriter from Little Rock, AR, has just been released. The CD targets fans of the Americana music genre. It's sixteen songs range in styles influenced by country, folk and rockabilly to blues and gospel. This album is the first professional recording of his own music, but Crow has been a songwriter and poet for over 30 years and was active in the songwriter community in Nashville, TN for 15 years before he and his wife, Anne, returned to Little Rock to be closer to family. He has appeared on numerous professional recordings as a background choral singer. Crow serves as regional coordinator of the Central Arkansas Songwriters Workshop, which he started in 2005 as an affiliate of the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI). Crow received a B.A. from Arkansas State University in Jonesboro and a Master of Arts from The University of Texas at Austin. Crow recently retired after a career in government, industry, investment banking and nonprofit management, and now pursues songwriting as a primary interest. The songs in 'Charlie Crow--Songs of Life and Living' reflect his personal experiences and astute observations of events in life--as they actually occurred, or as they could have. Noted songwriting coach and author John Braheny writes: 'I really like these songs...Charlie Crow has written a delightful set of well crafted songs that will appeal to a wide swath of lovers of old-timey, country swing and AAA blues-influenced trad (itional) country tunes. Exceptional for a first effort is his surprisingly artful and natural vocal delivery. Beautiful phrasing and melodies and clever lyrics true to the best delivery in their respective styles...impressive!' The CD's title song, "Angela's Asleep," blends two short poems about a young girl in a coffin, published by Charlie Crow's father, Wendell H. Crow, in 1949, the tune is performed in a Celtic style. Other titles include the frequently-requested "The Curse of Cursive Writing," "Odometer Blues" and "Too Much Information," as well as "Luvyabye" and "Coulda Been You." The CD was recorded at Lake Paradise Studio, Cherokee Village, AR., for Fading Sunset Music. It was co-produced by Doug Deforest and Charlie Crow. Charlie is backed in this recording by top-caliber professional musicians Tim Crouch, Robbie Springfield, Kenny Loggains, Gary Gazaway and Doug Deforest, all of whom choose to live in the Ozark foothills of Arkansas over Nashville, Los Angeles or elsewhere. In this album, Charlie Crow has developed his ear for converting an amusing situation or interesting phrase into a memorable lyric and singable tune. Some of these songs would (and should) play in a Texas dance hall, some are humorous observations of life as we often encounter it, and some are simply good stories, inspirational messages or good old-fashioned tear-jerkers. Each song places the listener where the song's emotional energy resides, staying faithful to the song's premise to the end. Charlie Crow's songs reflect a lifelong love for music of all flavors and genres. His other musical interests encompass four decades of choral singing, including as a member of the Arkansas Chamber Singers, and church choirs in Arkansas, Alabama and Tennessee. He prefers to write a song's lyrics first, allowing the flow of the words to suggest the musical direction for the tune. He loves bluegrass, Dixieland jazz, rockabilly and R&B oldies, the music of Gabriel Faure, and anything written by Jerome Kern or Fred Knobloch. He plays a digital keyboard, from which he records his own demos, and is hoping to broaden his songwriting skills as he masters a recently-acquired acoustic guitar.- Shop: odax
