I made my first podcast (basically a mp3 that kinda flows like a radio show..sans voiceovers) Anyway, the theme for the first set was under the radar 60'/70's hard rock. I think I did a pretty damn fine job, and I hope you enjoy. http://www.goodbyeforever.net/wordpress/ Download and listen. You can listen on your computer, load to your ipod or other mp3 player, or burn to cd. It's probably a huge mistake posting thise here since it will probably (definitely) kill my bandwidth. Let me know what you think. Track listing: 1. Blues Creation (Japan) - Atomic Bombs Away (from the album Demon & Eleven Children, 1970) 2. Cactus (USA) - Evil (from the album Restrictions, 1971) 3.

Blackfeather (Australia) - On This Day That I Die (from the album At The Mountains Of Madness, 1971) 6. Blue Cheer (USA) - Out Of Focus (from the album Vincebus Eruptum, 1968) 7. The Groundhogs (England) - Cherry Red (from the album Split, 1971) 8. High Tide (England) - Futilist’s Lament (from the album Sea Shanties, 1969) 9.

That's the point..it's under the radar stuff. Some of the band were fairly big in England, but never caught on here. I'm trying to turn people on to stuff beyond Zep and Sabbath. Some of the bands have member you're likely familiar with. Cactus was the rhythm section from Vanilla Fudge, The Groundhogs were John Lee Hooker's backing band for a while, Joesfus were a local Texas band that never quite broke big. My dad saw them a ton in his youth.
If you haven't heard of a band, they must be great. It's only when a lot of people have heard of a band or they become popular, they start sucking. That's the rules.
Don't be an idiot. I WANT other people to hear this..i'm not trying to be obscure to seem cool. This is all stuff that was on major labels, so it's not like these were bands that played 1 time in a cousin of a friends boyfriends uncles garage. The purpose of doing this is so others have a chance to hear this awesome stuff they normally wouldn't ever be subjected to.
Cool. Solo gig? I'm not sure if they're still together, but I know they got back together a couple of years ago and recorded a live record. My old man was a big fan.
Yeah. They did a couple reunion shows last Halloween. The drummer I work with used to play with them in the early 90's. She, my guitar player and I did a solo gig with him.
Technically, Podcasting isn't legal. But, it is becoming a really big deal and since Podcasts aren't CD quality (for the most part) and since they don't break the tracks up individually, there is a lot of debate over whether or not they can eventually be cleared for use on the internet like radio. You can bet the RIAA, radio stations and others are lining up to battle it. Many podcasts, however, aren't music. There are a bunch of techie type shows and other things as well.
Yeah, think of this as a radio show. The bit rate is low quality, and the files aren't seperated. Plus I make no money off this, and technically I'm actually promoting all of these artists. Most of the tracks are from out of print records anyway.
and radio shows never pay royalities. I am not trying to ride your *ss here. I am just wondering if you are painting a great-big-o bulleye on your forehead and daring the RIAA to sue.
Don't be so defensive Mr. Beard. As you can plainly see, that quote wasn't directed at you. I have no clue what you like or don't like or how good your bands are. Chill out.
Dan, maybe you should try this out: http://blogs.chron.com/techblog/archives/2005/05/kpft_takes_me_u.html May 25, 2005 KPFT takes me up on "Random Radio" I'm on the air at KPFT 90.1 FM, doing the Technology Bytes show. Ernesto Aguilar, the program director, just handed me a handwritten note. i'll be incorporating your idea of playing mp3 lists/players on-the-air, starting Tuesday morning, 4-6 a.m. email ernesto@kpft.org if ppl are interested. He's referring to this item I posted on May 18. In it, I suggested that a cool radio station might consider allowing folks to come into the studio, set their MP3 players on shuffle, and whatever plays, plays. I guess this is why they call it "public radio." This may almost be worth getting up early for!

Is this service similar to Shoutcast.com? I used to listen to Shoutcast a few years ago - I don't know if it's any good any more, but you could always find music of all types of genres and varied playlists on there.
