Show Tonight on Blogtalkradio, and other stuff

First of all just wanted to remind everyone that I am doing a show over on blogtalkradio starting at 11 pm (eastern) hope to see everyone there, just follow the link below.

Also, this Sunday on blogtv I'll be talking about our wonderful friends at the RIAA contemplating a 3rd (thats right a THIRD) trial regarding the Jammie Thomas - Rasset file sharing case (click link for story).

They just don't get it. From Ray Beckerman's Recording Industry vs. The People blog;

Reported that RIAA will ask for a 3rd trial in Capitol Records v Thomas

According to news reports, the RIAA has announced that it will elect not to accept a judgment for $54,000, but to instead go for a new trial, limited to the issue of the appropriate amount of statutory damages.


Unreal.

Show Updates!

First of all let me talk about our return to blogtalkradio last Saturday. Regular readers of this blog know about some of the issues that originally drove the show away. Well since there is an advantage to the show, as well as the musicians I play on the show to be heard on two different websites I thought that maybe I would give blogtalkradio another go.

Things went very well. They have fixed the technical issues as well as improved the sound over there, I was very pleasantly surprised.

So the new home for the Saturday night show is now on blogtalkradio. Show starts at 11 pm (eastern) time, stop by and hang out with us.

Right now I am continuing on with the Sunday night show on blogtv. Things overall are going well over there, but I'm having some trouble booking interviews for musicians. Mostly because on SKYPE I would need to call them, and some are understandably not so eager to give their phone number to someone they just met online for an interview.

Not that I plan on moving the show (yet) but it was always easier to book an interview on blogtalkradio only because they had a number they could call in to. For that reason as well as a couple of others I am starting to contemplate a complete move back to blogtalkradio.

So, here's my plan (don't ya love that I always have one....lol) over the next month or so I'm kinda watching and seeing how things go on blogtalk and blogtv. If I see things on blogtv going pretty much more or less the same, and blogtalkradio takes back off, I think it'll be pretty clear on what I might need to do for the good of the show.

Like I said I'm not planning on making any snap decisions, right now I'm continuing with both shows and see where things go.

Great Show Last Sunday!

TygerWDR from YouTube was on the show talking about copyright issues, among other things last Sunday. Joining me on the interview was Deb from the Unsigned Musicians show and for almost 5 hours we talked about some of the issues on YouTube (the Warner Music group thing among others) and had a blast.

If you missed the show, we did record some segments which I'll have uploaded onto my YouTube page in the next day or so and if you can't wait, they are available on my blogtv page.

---------------------------------------------

Show notes;

I've decided to bring back the blogtalkradio show, while continuing the blogtv show.

The blogtalkradio show will be airing on my old channel over there on Saturday nights at 11 p.m. (eastern) along with the Sunday show over on blogtv at 9 p.m. every Sunday night.

I figure I'll try it out for a few weeks, see how things go, if they go well then I'll continue with the 2 shows on 2 different websites. If it doesn't go as well as I hope then I'll simply move the Saturday show over to blogtv. We'll see, I'd like to at least try it out.

So, hope to see ya then, here are a few links for ya;

Ok, a Real Blog About This Sunday....

This coming Sunday we're going to have TygerWDR from YouTube on the show. He's coming on to talk about some of the issues he's had with YouTube pulling the audio from his videos due to the dispute with Warner Music Group and if last Sunday is any indication, I have a feeling we're gonna talk about everything and anything. He dropped by for an "impromptu" interview last week, and together with Deb from the Unsigned Musicians show we ended up chatting for over 3 hours, which has to be my record for an interview....lol

It must have been interesting, I can't say that I remember that as many folks hung out in chat as long as everyone did last Sunday, real nice crowd especially when you consider that I didn't even know Tyger was gonna drop by.

So when you consider that, and that he's promoted the show on his YouTube page, this week the "real" interview should be a ton of fun and I hope you'll join us. The show starts at 9 p.m. (eastern U.S.)

Let me drop a few links below....

See ya'll soon!
