Indie Spotlight is Moving

Since the show's inception we have done the show on Sunday nights, from way back during the NewsTalk days up until now. The time has changed, the old time slot for NewsTalk was, believe it or not, 11:30 on Sunday nights. We gradually moved to our current time of 9 pm Sundays especially since our format switch from a news program to a music oriented program, and now, that is about to change.

Starting this week, the show will be broadcast on Monday night at 9 pm (eastern)

The reasons for the change are several, the first being that my current work schedule isn't going to work with me doing a show on Sunday nights. After I wrap the show, I'm looking at maybe a couple of hours sleep before I go to my day job on Monday morning. Since it is my regular job that pays the bills (I make no money doing the show) it's obvious that my regular off the internet job has to have top priority, particularly now. I can not be dragging ass on Monday morning just because I ran the show longer that I had planned, which happens just about every week. The quality of my regular day at my regular job would suffer, and to be honest, the quality of the show would also suffer since when it's usually getting good I'm more worried about signing off than having an awesome show.

I'm also thinking it might be easier to book musicians for interviews if I was on a different night than Sunday, since it's not the weekend, not as many live gigs that they might need to go to. Monday is not the best, but I think it might be at least easier than Sunday.

Lately there seems to growing competition with my show on Sunday nights on blogtv. That is all I'd care to say publicly about that.

I did ask Shovelheadkevin if he was interested in continuing his show since he hasn't done one in quite a while (Kevin held the Monday timeslot previously in our little group of blogtv hosts) and he told me that he isn't planning a return to blogtv, and if he wanted to do something he knew I would gladly defer to him, which I would.

So, there it is folks, starting this coming week Indie Spotlight Live will now be broadcast on Monday nights, starting at 9 pm (eastern). I hope for your continued support, I have some awesome things planned for the show this year.

Show Recap

Had a great conversation with Rob, Deb, and Angela the other night. First live roundtable discussion for 2012 and I have to say that I have missed these! Special thanks to all who participated either on the SKYPE call or in the chatroom, what a special treat!

I will be working on getting the audio portion posted on YT with a slide show and all the links hopefully today.

Show notes;

I also made a major announcement regarding the future of the show. We are moving to Monday nights, starting this coming week.

New Show Motto

I'm adapting this from a comment I saw on YouTube...

to all the plastic manufactured "pop stars" of today...

Here's a lesson for you. Go pick up an instrument, turn off the auto tune, learn how to truly perform. Go to a seedy bar, entertain the few that are there, repeat that for a few years. Do it like the talented musicians you will hear on this show. Real musicians, with real instruments and real talent.

This is my new motto for the show.


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

Show notes;

Tomorrow night I'll be joined on the show by our good friend Rob Mazurek, Deb from the Unsigned Musicians show, and possibly Kyle Marney for a round table discussion about the music industry as well as the recent goings on with the now tabled so called anti piracy laws as well as recent developments regarding copyright infringement online. You won't want to miss this one!

Show about Recent Goings On This Sunday

Unless you live under a rock, there has been a lot happening regarding copyright laws lately.

How does this affect independent musicians, as well as internet broadcasters who are trying to promote independent musicians? Tune in this Sunday for a roundtable discussion to find out!

Joining me on the show this week will be our good friend Rob Mazurek, Deb from the Unsigned Musicians show, and I believe Kyle Marney will be joining us as well.

Indie Spotlight Live, this Sunday starting at 9 pm (eastern) and I hope you'll join us.
