It’s Grand Final weekend for our friends down in Australia, so I thought it might be fun to start with a song that Australian radio station Triple J called the 77th hottest song of all time — a bit bombastic, perhaps, but I think you’ll enjoy that tune and the rest of this week’s playlist regardless.

There are a lot of artists I would love to promote on this show, but I can’t, because they’re signed to RIAA labels. These major labels are actively trying to punish music fans for sharing music they love with others and helping to grow their favorite artists’ audience. They’re also forcing new music companies out of business by charging those companies exorbitant sums of money for the right to expose their music to new potential customers. Chances are good that the RIAA would sue me for hundreds of thousands of dollars if I played one song in a major label catalog on this podcast — even if that label’s marketing arm asked me to play it!
So this podcast remains dedicated to promoting music by independent artists and labels, because they understand the value of podcast promotion. We don’t need the RIAA to make good music. Let’s hope more people understand that and vote for the music industry they want with their wallets.

Now that it appears the majority of our Feedburner trouble is behind us, we can get back to sharing some new music with the world. A few months ago, the awesome Properly Chilled podcast talked about the idea that downtempo electronic BPMs seem to be rising every year, almost to the point where downtempo means midtempo. This week’s playlist represents that more midtempo side of the genre very well, I think.

If you’re an iTunes user wondering why Dave’s Lounge #169 hasn’t shown up in iTunes yet, there’s your answer. For whatever reason, Feedburner hasn’t been able to access any of my Wordpress sites on Bluehost since Monday. I talked to BlueHost about it, but they claim they’re not blocking anything, and since I can load the feed directly in my browser, I know it’s accessible. Why Feedburner can’t get it, however, remains a complete mystery to me.
And since Feedburner offers nothing in the way of tech support, I’m pretty much stuck here.
My only real option here is to stop using Feedburner and get the iTunes page to redirect to http://www.daveslounge.com/feed/. At this point, however, I’m not entirely sure how to get it to do that, and Apple’s instructions haven’t been much help. So until I figure this out, you’ll have to get the latest episodes of Dave’s Lounge directly from the web site.
If you’re able to help me with this matter at all, please email me at daveslounge@gmail.com, or post a comment here. Thanks.
UPDATE: Thanks to my buddy Rob at Wizzard Media and the Today In iPhone podcast, the iTunes feed should update properly within the next 48 hours or so. If you’re not using iTunes, however, and you’re subscribed to the Feedburner feed, unsubscribe from that and use http://www.daveslounge.com/feed/ instead. Once iTunes stops pointing to Feedburner, I’m going to blow away that feed and use my own URL instead. Thanks, and apologies for the inconvenience.

And we’re back. I’m continuing to sort through music submissions and finding new music from some familar faces as well as a few artists new to the Lounge. If you sent me some downtempo tunes but haven’t heard back from me yet for whatever reason, email me again at daveslounge@gmail.com, and I’ll give ‘em another listen.
