Programming note

Wednesday, February 27th, 2008

I’ve been really good, since last September, keeping up with my three-shows-a-week goal so that I can get to 500 in time for this August’s 500th Episode Concert in Las Vegas.

But I just flew back from Orlando, and my arms feel fine, but the rest of me is w-i-p-e-d o-u-t.

So tonight’s “Sadie Hawkins Originalville” will be (more appropriately) tomorrow night, the Velvet Underground show will be moved to Sunday night, and the All-Request show moving to Tuesday. Everything goes back to normal next Thursday with a Monkees Cover Story in honor of Mickey Dolenz’ birthday.

I mentioned Wintergreen’s brilliant Atari 2600 E.T. game-inspired music video in the show. Here’s a link where you can check it out.

Also, make sure to check out the excellent Shifted Sound Podcast, hosted by my friend Shelby. If you liked the Wintergreen, Far From Frail, Mechanical Bride and The Apples tracks, you’ll like the style of music he features on his show.

Coverville Facebook Application?

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

facebook screenshot

One of the most common recommendations that I have received for expanding the show has been social media and networks. I agree. And it seems like Facebook is the way I’m moving, and I’d like to create a Facebook Application for the show.

What would you like to see in a Coverville Facebook App? Here are some ideas that Im kicking around:
1. A constantly updating app that lists upcoming theme shows, cover stories and interviews, so you can make suggestions
2. A listing of the three most recent episodes of Coverville
3. Cover Song of the Day?

I think the biggest hurdle for me is that I don’t know what Facebook is capable of, or how it would integrate with Coverville. I’m like that boss that came to his staff 15 years ago and said, “We need to get on this interwebs thing. Make it happen.”

Now, I have created a Cover Song Trivia Quiz, and so far, the best score has been Dave Lifton’s 91%. Is that a sign that I made it too hard?

If you’re a Facebook power user, let me know what you think the right direction would be for me. I thank you.

Drunk Covers V on The Waiting Room

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Forgot to mention last week that the folks over at The Waiting Room released their fifth installment of Drunk Covers, a three-hour tour with some great covery goodness. I haven’t listened to the whole thing, but I liked what I heard in the first hour.
