I resisted joining Facebook for a very long time, just out of general social networking fatigue. However, I suspect a lot of you out there are on Facebook, so I thought it would be nice if I could see your faces.
To that end, I’ve created a group called Dave’s Lounge Listeners, where fans of the show can congregate and talk about music, podcasting, methods for relaxation, or any other topics they feel like discussing. Feel free to join the group and spread the word about the show. Thanks.
In my continued attempts to break from routine, I’ve decided to promote a couple of items this week that are free.
I was recently introduced to the work of the late Alan Watts, a 20th century writer and speaker who helped to popularize Eastern philosophy with Western audiences. His son Mark is now curating his work, and he recently launched the Alan Watts Podcast, which shares some of Alan Watts’ best speeches with the rest of the world.
I thought it would be fun to combine Watts’ voice with the music of someone who also combines Eastern and Western ideas — MoShang, whose released his new remix compilation, Asian Variations, under a Creative Commons license, so you can download it freely and share it with the rest of the world. You can get your copy of this compilation at AsianVariations.com.
I encourage all of you to take the time to check out Watts’ work. I think you’ll find his view of the world quite illuminating.
Earlier this week, a couple of people purchased “By Candlelight,” the theme song/background music for Dave’s Lounge, and neither of them were able to download the song. Clearly, something has gone wrong with the Payloadz system I had been using.
So I’ve decided to offer “By Candlelight” and a couple of other songs I wrote a few years ago on Amie Street, a new social network for music that prices songs by their popularity. These songs will be free to download in the beginning, but as they grow in popularity, so will their price.
If you like these songs, I’d appreciate it if you would download them and give them some recommendations to others. Also, if you know of any bands on Amie Street that I should check out, feel free to point me in their direction. Thanks.
I wanted to share with you all a dream that I had last week. It was very vivid and very strange, and it’s been puzzling me ever since I had it. If anyone has any idea how to interpret this dream, feel free to email me or to post a comment here on the web site. I’m very interested in what other people think might be going on inside my head.
