Some Other Great Shows on Blogtv...

Ok at the show the other night I promised a link to some other great shows on blogtv.

In order of day of broadcast, all times are eastern US;

Just Another Show hosted by my good friend Kevin, this one is currently on hiatus but he's looking to make his return somewhere around the end of January at the start of Nascar season. Broadcast bi-weekly on Monday nights starting at 9 pm Kevin talks about things having to do with auto racing, cooking tips, and everything in between.

Unsigned Musicians hosted by my friend and colleague Deb her show is broadcast weekly on Wednesday nights starting at 9 pm. Her show features the original music of incredibly talented musicians. In fact on the nights that I primarily play music I've modeled my show after hers. If you are looking for awesome music Deb's show is the right place!

Flute and Didgeridoo live with Didgerod is hosted by Rod every Friday night at 9 pm. Blowing the universal vibrations.~~ Grounding,Relaxing and Healing from within Rod plays the Native American flute and Digeridoo and you will leave this show feeling relaxed, refreshed, and grounded.

Jimtzu's Flute Room hosted by blogtv favorite Jim Cook is broadcast every Saturday night at 9 pm. Live native american flute music by Jim and whoever else may drop in. He's just getting started but I gotta tell ya it's always a great time at Jim's show, you just never know who's gonna come by and be co-hosted. Really great music ya'll really have to check it out!

Indie Spotlight Live this is my show hosted by yours truly every Sunday night at 9 pm. Featuring the music of Independent musicians as well as musician interviews, home of the Weenie of the Week, and much more.

Hope you'll join us at some of these fantastic shows!

Pete Berwick Live, Uncut and Uncensored (whole interview)

This is the whole inteview, I was able to take the 12 parts and splice them together. Was surprised that YouTube allowed me to upload a 2 hour video, really nice that my account is enabled for longer uploads!

So now I'll take the other interviews and do the same, stay tuned!

Show Recap, and Other Stuff

Wow a recap? Yeah haven't done one of these in a while. Coming off the lull that typically happens at the show (and pretty much everywhere online) during the holidays now seems as good a time as any to get back into blogging about the show a little more.

I had originally planned last nights show to be primarily music, but over the course of the conversation in the chat Deb from the Unsigned Musicians show and myself decided to take some time to talk about some of the he said/she said bs that goes on behind the scenes on blogtv sometimes. It had come up in the chat that there was someone who had hung out with our regular crowd on blogtv that was found out to be not as they presented themselves to be and rather than do a bunch of typing in the chat about it I decided that it would be better to just cut the music for a bit and bring Deb on so we could talk about some of the things this person had said about us, herself (or himself...lol) and how she/he had destroyed some friendships as well as tried to kill our viewer stats at our respective shows because we didn't fall for her "whoa is me" line.

It was a lot of fun, we really had a great conversation with the folks in the chat. After we were done talking about that particular situation Deb gave everyone a how-to on how to figure out if someone was a "tranny" by looking at a picture of them.

Yeah it was one of those nights....lol Deb was even kind enough to do her "Fresh and Easy" voice for the folks who had never heard it. From reading this blog you might not be able to tell it but we really had a fun chat!

Hey maybe it's another reason to drop by the show sometime, we're on every Sunday night at 9 pm (eastern time). If you're looking for a link, just click the logo at the upper right hand corner of this blog!

Show notes;

Deb will be making another guest appearance within the next couple of weeks as we do another show about how the music industry REALLY works. It's come to my attention that some of the folks that have recently started coming to the show don't know how the politics of the music industry really play out, and why we don't get to hear more of these awesome independent musicians on regular radio. This show would be a bit of a refresher for the regular listeners that have been coming to the show for a while but I'm willing to bet that it'll be an eye opener for folks who haven't been previously exposed to this information.

Deb and I are also planning another music event show. The only big difference between this one and the last couple that we've done is that instead of billing and planning it as a 12 or 24 hour event, we're just going to plan an event style show without time constraints. What this means is that if we are only able to book enough musicians to cover 10 live hours then it'll be a 10 hour event. The opposite is also true, if we find enough folks to do longer then it'll be a longer show. The idea behind this change is to take away some of the stress of planning the show. Trying to find enough musicians to cover a set amount of hours is challenging. While Deb and I are more than up to such a challenge, we've always had the concern that we might compromise the quality of the show by trying to fill time in between live music with mp3's which isn't what people come out to these shows for, they come for live music. This way we can just book the musicians and let the show flow where it may and give the listeners more of what you guys want as opposed to trying to spread out the live music to fill a time block. If anything it's worth a shot we'll see how it goes. No, we haven't set a date for this yet.

It's come to my attention that some of the musicians that have come on to the show for interviews in the past would like to come back. I'll be reaching out to these folks over the course of the next couple of weeks and get back (finally!) into booking musicians interviews (although I'd rather think of them as chats, it's more fun that way) so stay tuned for that.

Said quite a mouthful here, guess it makes up for my lack of blogging over the last couple of weeks...lol

Catcha folks later!
