In lieu of a show tonight…

Tuesday, March 15th, 2005

OK, so it’s not as bad as bronchitis.

I caught a cold this weekend – or it caught me – so I’m going to recover tonight. And either get a show on tomorrow night or Thursday night. But in lieu of a show, I invite you to listen to an interview that I was generously invited to partake in at Jawbone Radio. These guys just got a cover story in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and it’s easy to see why. Len and Nora, the hosts, have great banter and a very mellow approach. Here’s a link to their page. My interview is in Monday’s show.

Thanks for listening!

Coverville 61: Guster, Filter, Cowboy Junkies…because YOU requested it!

Sunday, March 13th, 2005

On Friday, I spoke to Julie at ASCAP, who is lifting the restriction on putting song lists in my show notes! So from now on, you’ll find the song lists on the Coverville site. Thanks Julie!

Tonight we have a special guest in the studio: Dave from the Colorado Springs Gazette! Dave is listening in on the show to see how it’s all put together. And here’s what I put together for the show:

“(Open Up Your) Filthy Heart (To Me)” – Shriekback (the Uncovered Gem of the week)

“One” – Filter (originally Three Dog Night)

“Midnight Cowboy” – Faith No More (originally John Barry and his Orchestra)

“I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” – Cowboy Junkies (originally Hank Williams)

“Wild Horses” – Gov’t Mule (originally The Rolling Stones)

“(Nothing But) Flowers” – Guster (originally The Talking Heads)

I’m trying to figure out a clean way to give you all faster downloads in the first few hours that the show is available. Until I do, though, I thank you for your patience and hope each show is worth the wait!

Coverville 60: The Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders Cover Story

Thursday, March 10th, 2005

Coverville is sponsored by iPodderX. Feed your iPod by getting your copy of the #1 podcasting Macintosh client today at iPodderX.com!

This is a theme night I’ve had in mind for a while, and since I’m waiting on a few tracks to finish up a few other theme nights, I’ll pull it out of reserve and do it tonight!

Tonight you’ll hear music from The Pretenders and Chrissie Hynde, both covers that they’ve performed as well as covers of their music. That, and a very special long distance dedication… Music tonight by Big Daddy, Jonathan Richman, Nikol Kollars, Saliva, Tom Jones, and of course The Pretenders and Chrissie Hynde.

I’m trying to figure out a clean way to give you all faster downloads in the first few hours that the show is available. Until I do, though, I thank you for your patience and hope each show is worth the wait!

Voting finally fixed at PodcastAlley!

Friday, March 4th, 2005

Chris has thankfully addressed the voting issues that many podcasters had with PodcastAlley. Specifically, the requiring of daily votes. You listeners already give me 30 to 40 minutes of your time three times a week, and I can’t thank you enough for that.

PodcastAlley is now a “one vote per month” arrangement, and they’ve reset the votes and (unfortuantely) cleared out the comments, which was a real bummer for me because they were all positive and gave new listeners an idea of what the show was about. But I can’t complain, the one vote per month is a great addition, and has given me new hope for PodcastAlley again.

My vote script here on the site isn’t functioning yet because of the new changes – and with the new changes, I’ll probably remove it this weekend. So you’ll need to visit PodcastAlley to cast your vote. The “big media” pays attention to the top ten list over at PodcastAlley, and if it weren’t for support from listeners like you, I never would have been mentioned in Time magazine, USA Today and the New York Times, just to name a few.

Since votes have been reset, I’ll ask again, and then I’ll shut up for a while about it, but please visit PodcastAlley when it’s convenient, and cast a vote for not just my show, but all the shows you subscribe to. Let’s have the list at PodcastAlley reflect the true popularity of the great podcasts out there!

http://www.podcastalley.com/one_vote2.php?pod_id=71

Thank you – and thanks for all the positive wishs for my health. I’m back up to 100% now, and a lot of that is attributed to your good vibes.

Coverville 57: Going undercover with…Originalville?

Thursday, March 3rd, 2005

Coverville is sponsored by iPodderX. Feed your iPod by getting your copy of the #1 podcasting Macintosh client today at iPodderX.com!

Tonight you’ll hear the original versions of songs that were more popular as cover versions. Can’t give you titles, but you’ll hear songs by The Four Lads, Gloria Jones, John Kongos, Dale Hawkins, The Clique and Joni Mitchell. These songs had popular cover versions by Happy Mondays, Counting Crows, Creedence Clearwater Revival, They Might Be Giants, Soft Cell, and R.E.M. (In no particular order.) Confused? You won’t be, after this episode of Coverville.
