This week marks the third anniversary of Dave’s Lounge. Whenever I think about why I’ve kept this show going as long as I have, I think back to this scene from the indie film Groove:
Thank you all for your nods for the last three years. I don’t think I could have gotten this far without you.
This week’s playlist features several of submissions from artists around the world. If you’d like to submit your music to Dave’s Lounge, send me an email at daveslounge@gmail.com, and I’ll give it a listen.
So I’ve decided that the best way to avoid crashing this laptop is to stop loading it up with extra software. I purchased a second laptop last week and moved all my general purpose software there, while my old laptop will now be my digital audio workstation. I’m hoping this will help me avoid having to skip weeks because some software not related to the podcast’s production crashed this laptop’s audio system. I’ll put that stuff on the other laptop instead.
The laptop audio went haywire again last night. I am once again in the process of reinstalling Windows and other software. (I’ve gotten pretty good at it, too.) I should have things straightened out here by the end of the week, by which time Dave’s Lounge will resume its normal schedule.
I almost put another old episode in the feed here tonight, but I didn’t want to do that so soon after the last one. You can download past episodes here.
So after listening to episode #20 again, I decided to go digging in the crates — so to speak — and looking for more songs created by the MP3.com-spawned electronic music community back in the day. There was actually a lot of really good music being created during this period. Perhaps it deserves another listen.
By the way, about that World Soccer Daily clip at the end of the show: Honestly, I didn’t try to pass off All India Radio’s music as my own. Steven Cohen just didn’t quite get that Dave’s Lounge was a podcast that promotes other bands and not actually a band itself. He made a bit of a mess of it there. Sorry about that.
