Association Of Music Podcasting

Well after taking a week off to recharge my batteries in the sun and getting caught up in the Olympics the podcast is back for a fresh helping of great rock and roll. As always these bands and artists are either unsigned or are on independent record labels so if you like what you hear please support them by buying their music and going to their shows.

I have been getting a lot of great suggestions for bands to play on the podcast and as I sift through those email me and let me know what you thought of the show and let me know if there are any bands you think I just gotta hear. Email me at rockandrollreport@gmail.com or drop me a comment on the listener line at 206-339-3646. Always love to hear what you are listening to.

As always if you want to subscribe to the podcast, just click either of the links below. The more subscribers podcasts like the Rock and Roll Report Podcast get the easier it gets to convince some hesitant record labels to adopt a podsafe attitude.

Oh and say hi to big fan of the podcast the beautiful Sharon Vaughn (she’s been there since the beginning!) who graces todays playlist.

We do releases through independent labels who are surviving from one release to the next. We are so pleased when we see blogs and torrent sites offering our music for free as it’s pretty much how most people discover new music these days. We don’t have a problem with anyone downloading our stuff, but if you have downloaded a record/release of our music and listen to it regularly, it would be nice if you could spare some cash to help go towards paying for future recordings.

I just returned from the New Media Expo in Las Vegas and just wanted to thank all of you that attended my presentation for coming. It was a blast meeting each of you and getting to know you. I look forward to helping you in any way that I can. But right now, I need your help. I need your help in the form of a vote. We are putting together a panel for the upcoming 2009 South by Southwest (other wise known as the SXSW Interactive Festival) in Austin Texas. We have proposed a panel called "Using Social Media to Create a Buzzing Podcast."

It is easy for you to help. Just click the following link, "Using Social Media to Create a Buzzing Podcast." Once there take the 30 seconds to sign up and then vote for the panel, with a little luck, maybe we will be chosen to speak again this year at the conference.

Currently there are two people on the panel. Myself and Gary Leland, CEO/Owner of Podcast Pickle. Podcast Pickle was noted as one of the top websites by Time Magazine. Gary is an expert on podcasting and has incredible insights on how to use New Media and Social Networking to grow your podcast listeners. There are plans to add others to the panel and once their attendance is confirmed, I will notify you promptly.

Again, your vote for our panel suggestion "Using Social Media to Create a Buzzing Podcast" is greatly appreciated.

Since we’re not getting enough of the constant Sugar flowing from Bob Mould’s Minneapolis & now Washington based cookie jar, we’ve decided to forage further to the east and break the lock off the overstocked New York musical pantry, bringing you a somewhat similar sounding and striking selection off the 2007 release by NY musical protagonists, Blood Red Sun.

BRS let out a blast of inspirational rock that transcends what’s currently on the radio waves with ‘All at Once’, from their 2007 release A Nation of Saviors on Thought Crime Records. Like neighboring New Jersey’s The Milwaukees, Blood Red Sun are the torchbearers of an intelligent and solid sound movement we hope breaks some of the grip that mass media has on keeping quality new music at bay.

You can purchase the tracks from A Nation of Saviors at CDBaby or iTunes. [cs]

So I got back last night from the New Media Expo in Las Vegas, where I had an absolute blast. It was tons of fun meeting and hanging out with so many great podcasters, including Anji Bee from The Chillcast, Brian Ibbott from Coverville, Roxanne and Shane from Beachwalks, Ariel Hyatt from Ariel PR, Dan Klass from The Bitterest Pill, Rob Walch from Podcast411 and Today in iPhone, CC Chapman from Accident Hash, Charles Stepczyk from Insomnia Radio, Elsie from Elsie’s Yoga Kula… the list could go on forever, really. Plus, the Coverville 500 party was spectacular, and we all had a ton of fun out on the strip. I’ll have photos from the New Media Expo up here very soon.

Unfortunately, I stayed out late and didn’t get much sleep while I was there, and I am heinously jet-lagged. So I’ve decided to release an encore performance of Dave’s Lounge #50, which includes a speech I gave at a conference at Duke University three years ago. A few things have changed since then, but a lot of it still applies today, and it’s kind of amazing how so few people, both musicians and podcasters, don’t know about this. Perhaps I need to publish this info somewhere else on the web…

Playlist for Dave’s Lounge #50:

1. Artemis, “Fountain of Life”  Buy from: eMusic | iTunes | Amazon MP3
2. Bitstream Dream, “Rising Sun”  Buy from: eMusic | iTunes | Amazon MP3

Over the years, The Clintons have become a huge hit with a very small group of people. In other words, they’re not for everyone. If you have Montana roots, you’ve no doubt heard of this energetic, humor-driven four-piece, but they may not have tickled your musical fancy. But if you live life outside the boundaries, like to discover music instead of having it force-fed to you by a huge media conglomerate, or prefer to drive a rust-colored ’81 Chevy Chevette just because you know nobody else has one, then you might be qualified to become the newest Clintons fan.

[From their most recent album, Have Another,] John wrote Dance Slow a couple months after his wedding in August of ‘07. What was meant to be a beautiful and sunny beach wedding on the Oregon Coast (Manzanita) turned into a rainy and overcast day. It was still an amazing and special day but the beach party around the bon fire never happened because of the rain. John and Ingrid’s first dance ended up being a couple days later in their small Portland apartment. Go figure, he turned the lights down and lit a candle on the coffee table to set the mood. Sometimes happiness is all in your head.

Only just over the hour mark. Note to self, less angry ranting about war movies next time...

A happy week for me. Podcasted bands getting TV exposure, friends getting nominated for awards and the chance that I will finally get myself a job.

Also lots of success in the Olympics, especially in my beloved cycling. By the time you read this Great Britain will probably have a ton load more than the two golds and a silver we currently have.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that Atlantic Wave Radio is back. I had only just started listening to it when it went 'off-air' so I'm really pleased to see it back.

From the first EP released by Australian band Drawn from Bees. Drawing on their influences of art and literature, the first EP is a tale of survival, struggle and desolation, set against a backdrop of seafaring antiquity.

The principal character begins his sojourn quite carelessly bathing in the ocean safely near the harbor of his sail ship (“A Mighty Splash”). However the wrath of the ocean is soon unleashed as a thunderous gale ravishes the ship and crew leaving our hero adrift and isolated at sea. Visions of ghostly terrors and the haunting whisper of perishing hope echo through the caverns of the young boys mind as he struggles to cope with all encompassing struggle he is forced to endure (“English Line” & “Ready to Explode”).

The story draws to a close as our champion contemplates equal parts hopefulness and despair as he finds himself through a twist of fate, to be washed upon a shore (“The Picture Show”). Overcoming shear exhaustion, the sole survivor manages to gather the strength to battle to his feet, he surveys the surroundings of his refuge – he finds himself captive of an insignificant island hidden amongst the immensity of an endless ocean, the last glimmer of hope slips away (Talk to God).
