The devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina along the Gulf Coast of the United States has torn apart countless families and left hundreds of thousands of people with no homes, no livelihoods, and little hope for the future.

The American Red Cross is now undertaking the largest disaster recovery operation in its history, and now more than ever, this organization needs your support. Please donate money to the Red Cross at www.redcross.org. If you are unable to donate money, please consider donating blood. Contact your local Red Cross chapter for information on upcoming blood drives.

Please help the victims of Hurricane Katrina, because in times of crisis, all we really have is each other. Thank you.

There appears to be something amiss with my RSS feed at the moment, which is why you probably haven’t received Dave’s Lounge #16 yet — a rather unfortunate bit of timing, given the big announcement in this week’s show. I have contacted Liberated Syndication about this matter. Hopefully, this will be resolved shortly…

UPDATE (10:40 PM): Okay, the feed should be working properly now. I think we figured out what the problem was, so I’ll be sure not to duplicate the conditions that caused that problem any time soon.

I am pleased to announce the opening of the new Dave’s Lounge Shop, powered by CD Baby and iTunes. Here you will be able to purchase CDs and iTunes downloads from artists whose music has been featured on the Dave’s Lounge podcast. By purchasing music through the Dave’s Lounge Shop, you’ll help support quality independent music, and you’ll help keep Dave’s Lounge ad-free.

For more information, visit www.davesloungeshop.com.

I plan to make a special announcement about the shop in Dave’s Lounge #16, which will be released on Wednesday, so stay subscribed for more info…

A couple of things about this week’s show:

First, I was planning on launching the Dave’s Lounge CD Store this week, but I’m still waiting for Liberated Syndication to get back to me regarding a support issue. Hopefully, this will be resolved in time for next week’s show.

Second, in show #2, I played a track by Bitstream Dream called “Whirlwind.” It was actually a collaboration between Bitstream Dream and Beauty’s Confusion, who is featured in this week’s show. “Whirlwind” actually ended up on Beauty’s Confusion’s CD, Breathe In. You can purchase that track from iTunes by clicking here.

Playlist for Dave’s Lounge #15:

1. Beauty’s Confusion, “The Wrong Way” Buy this track at iTunes.
2. Get In Line, “Movie Star”
3. Mad Influence, “In the Dark”
4. Melinda Miller, “Secret”

This may be the single geekiest thing I have ever done…

Two weeks ago, I purchased a Palm Treo 650. I’ve been lusting after this smartphone for almost a year now. It’s my first smartphone, not to mention my first Palm. So what better way to celebrate the arrival of my first Palm with a show that features downtempo tracks created entirely on Palm PDAs?

All of this show’s tracks were created with Bhajis Loops, a portable music sequencer for Palm OS. You might not know that from listening to some of them, especially the stuff by Transient, who has released six Palm Cuts collections on archive.org. There’s some really good music within Palm Cuts.

Playlist for Dave’s Lounge #14:

1. Transient, “pure-veg ninja blobby”
2. Dr Dr Aardvark, “soochi”
3. Motor Mind, “Paper Army”
4. Transient, “Symphony for the Isotropic Rabbit”

Enjoy the show!

2. Hungry Lucy, “Rainfall” Buy this track at iTunes.
3. Alu, “Asphyxia” Buy this track at iTunes.
4. The Past Present Organisation, “Beautyfull” Buy this track at iTunes.

It’s the first of the month, so a vote at Podcast Alley would be much appreciated. Enjoy the show!
