Well, my internet connection at home isn’t letting me upload files anywhere — strangely enough, downloading files isn’t affected — so I had to upload this episode at a Panera Bread Wi-Fi hotspot this morning. I’m going to have a nice long talk with folks at Verizon later tonight…
A quick follow-up on Elevator, a band I played on last week’s show. As I had expected, the group is no longer together, but its lead singer, New Zealand native Julia Grace, has embarked on a solo career. You can hear more of Julia’s music on her Myspace page. As it turns out, Elevator was described by one writer as “a worship band.” I had suspected they might have been a Christian group, judging from the lyrics, but I didn’t really know for certain, and really, the song itself was too good a fit for this show regardless. (Thanks for the info, Mario!)
This week’s first artist, MoShang, was recently interviewed on The Chillcast with Anji Bee. Click here to check out that interview.
Just FYI: Episode #62 is completed, but I’m having trouble uploading it to LibSyn’s server this evening. After some testing, it appears to be a problem on my end. I’ll try to get it uploaded as soon as possible…
It took a while to get this one together, and for a while, I wasn’t sure it was going to get done tonight. One thing after another came up that kept me from recording, but I somehow managed to get through it all and get this one done. I even made this show a little longer for y’all, since you’ve been so patient.
You’ll recognize a lot of names in this lineup, but that’s just because they all make great music. I hope you enjoy this one as much as the last 60…
So I came back from an out-of-town road trip today, and I had planned to settle in, finish re-installing all my audio software, and put together the next show. When I got home this afternoon, I found my parents in my house. They were rearranging furniture. All my computer equipment was scattered everywhere…
That said, this is a temporary state, and I will do everything in my power to get a show out this week. That’s a promise to all of you out there who faithfully stayed subscribed during this unexpected lull in the show.
Dave’s Lounge is still open. Keep an eye out for Show #61 later this week.
My new laptop crashed today. Something went horribly wrong, the system files got corrupted, and I have no idea how to fix it — or whether or not it can even be fixed without wiping out everything on the hard drive already.
So it may be a few more weeks before I can get a new episode of Dave’s Lounge out to everyone. Sorry about this, folks. I promise that I’ll be back with a new show as soon as I can.
Sorry, folks. The furntiure’s getting rearranged around the house this week, and my audio equipment is scattered everywhere, so I won’t be able to do a show this week. I’m trying as hard as I can to keep up with everything right now, and I will try harder to get #61 ready for everyone soon.
Incidentally, I got a note from Cling, the band that led off Dave’s Lounge #59, and they inform me that eMusic has been pretty good to them:
See you are an affiliate of eMusic as well, we actually made more by giving our tunes away (so to speak) via eMusic than we would have made if we had sold them normally, the music business has become a little crazy.
So if any of you were wondering whether or not eMusic was a good deal for the artists, too, that should answer your question.
