Sorry, folks. I’ve gotten way behind on my correspondence and music submissions and such, and I’m not going to be able to get a show out this week. I swear it has nothing to do with EURO 2008… okay, maybe a little, but that will be over next Sunday, and this show will keep right on going. Once I get caught back up, anyway.

Dave’s Lounge will return on July 1. Talk to you then.

This week’s playlist includes a few new artists, a few return artists, and one song that you won’t hear anywhere else but here — for the time being, anyway.

So I was planning on saving this encore of Dave’s Lounge #25 for next week, when I will probably be sleeping off my weekend excursion to Virginia Beach, but the 100-degree heat here in North Carolina has slowed me down considerably, and not wanting to leave y’all without music this week, I figured now was as good a time as any to revisit this hour-long milestone episode.

A few notes about this show:

• “By Candlelight,” the theme song to Dave’s Lounge, is now available exclusively from Amie Street.
• When episode #25 was first released, Musetta was still known as Pan.
• Natalie Walker left Daughter Darling to pursue a solo career just weeks after episode #25 came out.
• About one-third of the podcasters included in that bumper halfway through the show are either no longer podcasting or have moved on to new online projects.
• Gasoline in America was about a dollar per gallon cheaper than it is now. Heady days, huh?

By the way, I know I mention this in the show notes every week, but any past episode you don’t see on the iTunes feed is available on the Dave’s Lounge direct download page. You can also stream every episode of Dave’s Lounge right here on this web site.
