Episode #10

I'll put out a separate reminder next week about the feed/host change for the show. If you subscribe through the blog here (the little orange RSS square in the corner) or through your browser's bookmark feature you should be fine. If you don't, at the end of this month head on over to Podango to get the show. I'll be submitting the new feed to all of the usual podcast directories as well!




Gift of Gab
1. Doug Evans - I found this artist through Garageband. This song is from his album Soul Cinema. Described as "Conscious lyrics that talks about serious issues with ease and a grown up kind of humor. " Great album. You can purchase it through CD Baby.

My Life
2. BayBrotha - Also found through Garageband, he uses a sample from one of my favorite songs by Mary J. Blige, My Life. I wish I could play her music here. At least I get to play BayBrotha's music. My Life is from his album Serious. You can purchase it through CD Baby. You can find more of his work on his MySpace page. He also has another website, Platinum Bound Music. Check it out!

For Real
3. Amel Larrieux - Again, I love her music. I've posted her MySpace page here before but it bears repeating. You'll find all album, concert and information news there.

Uam Uam
4. Povo - I have no idea how to pronounce the name of this song but I love it! It's a fun, little piece of jazzy electronica. I think electronic music is one of the best things that's happened to jazz. For me it's the best of both worlds. Anyway, Uam Uam is an old song. Check out Povo's new stuff at their MySpace page and their website.

Break: information about feed/hosting service change for show. Just keep subscribing through the blog and show deliveries will not be disrupted.

Dragonfly
5. Universal Hall Pass - I found them through Garageband. This group has a lot of influences and you can hear it in much of their work. Triphop comes to mind. I have to play more triphop! Anyway you can buy their latest CD, Mercury through, who else? CD Baby.

867-5309 - Jenny
6. Tommy Tutone - I decided to go back. You might be wondering why I played this song. Well, I check a site called RIAA Radar each week to see if the music that I want to play belongs to the RIAA or not. Surprisingly this song isn't on a RIAA label so I felt it was safe to play it. Hope I'm not wrong! I like it anyway. Always have! Here's their website!

Well that's it for this week! See you next time!

Episode #9

Ch.. ch.. ch.. ch.. Changes!
I'm having some odd problems with the layout of this blog for some reason. I don't know if it's template issues or what. I'm trying to get that fixed. As I stated in my last post, I will be changing feeds by the end of this month. I'll put out an audio update put out by next week explaining this so that you can resubscribe through the new feed. . .

. . .and here's the first show of 2008!


Good Clothes
1. Little Brother - I love this song. It reminds me of the days when mainstream hiphop was fun. Little Brother proves that independent hiphop is where it's at. Find them on their MySpace page or The Hall of Justus. I first heard of them through the Indiefeed hiphop podcast. They just dropped a new album, Get Back, and are on tour right now.

Collage
2.Median - Of course this is one of my favorite hiphop artists. From his album, Median's Relief. It's a great album and this is an artist that will go places in my opinion. He's just that good.

Unfold
3. Marie Digby - From L.A., I first heard one of her songs on Smallville. Wonderful voice. She has a lot of great music projects that you can view on her MySpace page, like concert dates, songs, latest releases and music videos on YouTube.

Wild Is The Wind
4. Amel Larrieux - She has such a beautiful voice, just like Marie does and she does jazzy, alternative pop songs like this one and also R&B. One talented woman. Find out about her latest album release, songs and concert dates on her MySpace page and her website.

News break: Information on female artists Marie Digby and Amel Larrieux. Background music: Travel With Me outro by Arson Optics. I've played the entire song before on a previous show.

Tell Me
5. The Beeps - I found them through Garageband. They remind me of the Norwegian Ladybugs and Hot Bitch Arsenal. I love this song. Check them out at their Garageband page.

There Is An End
6. The Greenhornes featuring Holly Golightly - I saw Bill Murray's Broken Flowers and that is where I first heard of The Greenhornes. They have a strong 1960's influence to their music that they've honed and made into their own unique sound and boy, is it great music.

Night
7. Midival Punditz - I've been a longtime fan of this group. Their music never fails to impress me. They always bring something cool to the table. This song is a dark, moody dreamlike piece that stays in my iTunes player for rotation all of the time. Find them on MySpace and their website. You can also find them on the Six Degrees Records website.

Laureline
8. The Gentleman Losers - I first heard of this group through the Solipsistic Nation podcast. A beautiful, haunting song. The rest of the album is wonderful too. It's like melancholic poetry. They're from Finland. Check them out on their MySpace page. You'll love their work. You can also find the album at the City Centre Offices label.

Hope the year is starting off well for you. Enjoy the show!
