This is what I've decided I'm going to do.
I'm moving the blogtv show back to Sunday nights. If my work schedule permits, I will do a regular show there, at 9 pm (eastern).
I'll also be debuting the show on Justin.tv, on Monday nights, haven't decided the time yet, but it will likely also be at 9 pm (eastern)
The difference between the two shows are that on blogtv I can play all the musicians I currently play, so if my work schedule doesn't permit me to do a full show I can at least give equal time to all the musicians, especially the ones that I can not play on justin.tv because of the CC rules over there.
The show on justin.tv will be all CC licensed music, and will archive for 7 days so if people miss the live show for whatever reason, and want to check out the music later, they can. They can even listen to it while working on other stuff without wondering what they are missing in the chat :)
So, that is what I'm going to do, lets see how it goes.
Thank you Kevin, for your Monday night time slot, unfortunately it wasn't as good to me as it was for you. You did a great show once upon a time, and I know that I for one would take a night off from my Monday show on justin.tv to hang out with ya on blog, anytime. Just sayin......

Another Show Update
Hey folks, hope this finds everyone well, and I hope that at least so far everybody is having a great 2012!
As anyone who has been a regular to the show, as well as a reader to this blog knows that I recently made a move to Monday nights. I have to say that unfortunately the viewers just haven't been there on Mondays.
Since the intent of the show is to promote independent musicians, that is not going to cut it, these folks deserve better. So, today I sat down and started exploring other websites for broadcasting the show.
The first one I tried was a neat little website called TalkShoe, which is similar to our old broadcasting home blogtalkradio. Ok, let me backtrack a bit, I checked out blogtalkradio to see what the improvements were, and from what I saw, unless you become a paid subscriber ($39.99 a month) you are limited to a 30 minute show per day, and can not broadcast in "prime time" (7 to 11 pm) so I said screw that and did a Google search for sites similar to it and thats how I landed on TalkShoe.
I really and truly wanted to like TalkShoe, I really did, but, it took forever to load, kept timing out, and when I finally managed to get on to do a test show, I kept having problems with the website loading. I stopped and restarted Firefox in safe mode, that let the page load faster, but then I had a couple of issues broadcasting. What my idea was, to broadcast the show in Skype, but I couldn't find a link to call in using Skype. You had to use the dial in number, which would require Skype credit, which I currently do not have. So then I tried using their proprietary call in feature "TalkShoe Pro" and when I played it back, it didn't sound good at all. In fact I had a user show up in the chat and tell me that my best bet was to use Skype as he had a similar experience on his show. While I thought it was beyond awesome that all I was doing a test show, still had a listener show up and offer advice, the site just didn't work the way that I think it needs to for the show to regain it's past glory. I really wanted this to work, it just didn't. If I, as a host, had issues even loading the site, people looking for the show would have the same, most would give up, so as much as I wish it would, it's just not going to work. I will check back at a later date to see if there are improvements, however at this time, as much as I wish it was, TalkShoe just isn't a viable alternative.
So, I then turned my attention to the account that I had recently created on Justin.tv. After tweaking and playing around for a few hours, I have to say that this one went better, but there are some issues to me taking the show over there. The first issue is that because all the shows archive, and every broadcast on the site itself is licensed under Creative Commons, all the music I play would have to be as well. While the majority of the music I play is indeed licensed under Creative Commons (CC) there are several musicians whose music I currently give airplay to, are not, nor would I ask them to. While I do have the permission of the song writers and the musicians that do not license under CC that I am currently giving airplay to (and honestly consider these guys friends as well), I myself am not comfortable giving them airplay on a site that by default licenses everything broadcast on it under CC. These musicians have not offered their music under CC, so it is not my place to play it on a site that is a CC site, whereby offering their music under CC, it's not my place to do so, it's just that simple.
The other thing I notice is that Justin.tv doesn't have a co-feature like blogtv does, not that I've used it much at all in the last year, but it is handy. The bonus with Justin.tv is that the entire show would archive for 7 days after broadcast so even if people weren't able to catch the live show, they can listen to the archive at a later date if they wanted to. I also found that I can use the Flash Media Encoder that I currently use on blogtv for the better sound and video also works over there, and the better quality archives as well.
So, here is what I'm thinking in regards to the future of Indie Spotlight Live. I am starting to think (nothing written in stone of course) that I might be moving the regular broadcast to my channel on Justin.tv. In addition, because several of the musicians that do not license their music under CC have been with me since day one, obviously also deserve airplay, I am thinking that I might also continue a semi-regular broadcast on blogtv. The other idea is to move the blogtv show back to Sunday nights, and do a shorter version of it featuring all the musicians I currently play, with a full sized show featuring the CC music on Justin.tv on another night (maybe not Monday, but another night where I can do a full sized broadcast) and seeing if I can attract a whole new following on there.
At this point, all ideas are on the table, at this point in time, at least this week, I am doing the Monday night show on blogtv. If I don't see the stats at least start to improve, I really need to start thinking about how, and where I am going to go next with the show. I know from past experience that doing 2 shows a week is draining, and is hard to keep up with, especially if you are doing them on 2 different websites, I've tried this before and it was a bit much. But to give the majority of the musicians that I currently play on the show airtime as well as taking care of the guys that have been loyal to me their due as well, to me it's worth it. I can even use the playlist that I would put together for the justin.tv show and insert these guys for the blogtv show. There are many ways I can go with this.
Bottom line is, I can't currently go back to doing the full show on Sundays, the viewer/listener stats aren't there on Mondays, so I need a plan B.
I'll let you folks know what I decide. Have a great evening!

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.

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.

Not Set in Stone But.....
I'm thinking that tonight's show might be the last one of 2011. I really haven't had much traffic the last couple of weeks, and we are into the usual holiday slump as far as internet activity goes.
Case in point, last Sunday's show had 13 hits, usually it's in the 40's or 50's.
So, given the hits the show gets tonight, this might be my last hurrah of 2011 as far as the show goes (of course if the hit count is off the charts, well, maybe next week might be my last one but I doubt it). Personally, I'd like to have one or two more shows to do, I love promoting and talking about how the "industry" screws over the independent musicians but if no one is even listening why bother? I always love the audience I get, but if it's only going to be a handful of hits, and only one or two folks in chat why bother? I'm not bitching, we are in a time of year where the traffic online is not going to be all that great to begin with, people have things to deal with that don't include hanging out online, it's just the nature of the beast, it's the way it is.
Right now as far as the show goes, I'm already looking ahead to the New Year, I'm planning on having more musician interviews, more chats with the movers and shakers of the industry, and, as long as I can plan ahead and know they'll be there so I know whether or not to broadcast in Standard as opposed to HQ, live music.
In case I don't get a chance to say it, I'd like to thank everyone for all the support this year. On a personal level, the past 12 months have been the most difficult of my life. I've really had to prioritize things and as much as I hate to admit it, Indie Spotlight has fallen near the bottom. Sometimes I have to wonder if I'm even worthy of the support I've gotten, but then I realize, it's not about me so much as it's about the musicians, and are they worthy of the support? Um, Hell Yeah!!
I know that even in person, but especially online, I haven't been the greatest friend, or host. I'm thinking that taking a break when the online traffic isn't going to be the greatest to begin with, might not be such a bad idea.
Indie Spotlight Live, the possible (on my end I say likely) last show of 2011 will air on blogtv at 9 pm (eastern) tonight. Hope anyone reading this will come by!

Thinking About What If's......
Sitting here listening to Pete Berwicks 2007 album release "Ain't No Train Outta Nashville" has gotten me thinking. Dangerous thing, I know.
First, a little history lesson, this album was originally supposed to be released when Pete was in Nashville back in the early 90's but was hung up in contract disputes for over 15 years when the label he was signed with went under. Pete was able to resolve those issues and released the album under his own label.
The "what if" I'm thinking of is suppose that didn't happen and ain't no train made it onto the record label shelves back in the early 90's when Barf Brooks was starting to make it big?
At that time, country music was in limbo, there was music, just not anything anyone wanted to listen to. Many people were wondering if the genre was going to die. Randy Travis was pretty big at that time, and said he understood why people thought that way. He apparently didn't think much of what his fellow singers were doing saying "it just wasn't good music" in an interview. Garth (Barf) Brooks' song "Friends in Low Places" took off, and to be honest, it does sound like an honest country song. Shame the rest of his really wasn't. I remember from the time that there was a country dance song that took off, "Boot Scootin Boogie" that was big.
So, suppose Pete's album made it to the record store shelves in this time period, especially with the genre in the limbo that it was, I'm thinking the industry wouldn't need saving now. And I'm sure there were 100+ Pete Berwicks out there at that time, the only fatal flaw being was that they were willing to tell the industry to kiss their ass when a record executive wanted to tell them what they thought people wanted to hear (when in actuality they didn't have a clue then, or now) and think of what might have happened is just one asshole decided to leave his ego at the door, and let real music flow?
I wouldn't have to listen to classic rock stations, or talk radio on my ride to work. Just my .02 of course.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Show notes;
I somehow managed to keep the regular broadcast going, only missing one show in September this Halloween season, although the shows were shorter. How? I have no idea. I even did a show the day before Halloween which hasn't happened in years. Were those shows my best, no, I was reusing old playlists, and was almost a zombie myself at the computer running them. I plan to get back to my fighting form in the coming weeks, I'm hoping that I might be able to try (note the try) and schedule some musician interviews in the next couple of weeks.

Upcoming Shows
Hey everyone, it's been a while since I posted a real blog or update, now would be a good a time as any to let ya know whats going on.
I have some new music for the show this week, I really hope you'll come by and check it out. We will be featuring the music of two new musicians this week.
The following week we'll be paying tribute to our good friend J.D. Steagall from Buster Chopz and JD and the Cherokee Boys who passed away on June 16th of last year. He was a great guy, a huge supporter of the show and other indie musicians, and one hell of a musician in his own right. We'll be replaying some of our favorite moments of him being on the show, and pay tribute to a gone, but not forgotten friend.

Updates, and Where I've Been...
I apologize for not having posted a blog in a while, to be honest with everything I've had going on over the last month or so I have had a real hard time putting my thoughts together in my head, much less get them down in print. While sitting here listening to Didgerod tonight I have to say that the music has really helped calm my busy little brain down to where I can finally focus on some of the things I've been neglecting, the blog being one of them.
Rod, I don't know if you ever read my blog, but if you do, thank you.
I don't generally talk about my personal life online at all, but for those of you that don't know my mom passed away several weeks ago. Needless to say it's been one hell of a month and I've really been having a hard time getting back into the rhythm of, well anything. I'm not going to lie, I've been having a real hard time dealing with this.
One of the things Rod (Didgerod) is talking about during his show is the Native American belief that spring is the renewal of life. It's been therapeutic listening to this music tonight and I would encourage everyone, especially if you are going through a stressful time, to check out his broadcast as well as his youtube channel. It'll help you clear you head a bit, and maybe help you relax. Tonight is the first time since this happened that I've been able to do exactly that.
Honestly speaking I've been on autopilot for the last several weeks. I ended up taking a couple of weeks off from the show, and when I did make it back on the air I was there, but not really. I'm sure you folks know what I mean but I do have some things that I want to blog about, including a new website for independent musicians as well as some other stuff in the music industry that's been going on and I will try to have those posted pretty soon.
Maybe now in a healthier state of mind I'll be able to get it done. I've said it before but music is magic!

MusicFest 2011 a Huge Success!
My special thanks to all the viewers and listeners that came out and supported the musicians that were kind enough to lend their time and talent to the event. We had over 2000 unique hits over the course of 12 hours!
Deb from the Unsigned Musicians show and I warmed the crowd up by playing some of the music we play during our shows, and the live action started at about 1 p.m. Many of the musicians that played at this event had been on before and it was a delight to have them back, as well as a couple of fresh faces.
And of course I'd like to thank Deb from the Unsigned Musicians show for putting it all together and hosting this event with me. If it weren't for you it wouldn't have happened. I'd have to say that all of the talented musicians that came to play were people that she had found and contacted to come and play for this event. She did all the organizing work for this event, I just had the honor of hosting it.
As promised here is a quick rundown of the musicians that played, and their links.
Lisa Ltan made a return appearance and was as awesome as ever.

Tom Meny, after tastefully handing one of blogtv's notorious haters played and outdid himself as well.

Our good friend Didgerod came on and as always was incredible. He also does a regular show on blogtv, every Friday night at 9 p.m (eastern.

Kelly Hoyle Fuller played her heart out. Really great music, it was nice to see her again.

One of our newcomers to our events and blogtv came on shortly after. Personally I think Eva Walsh won everyone over with her smile, then she started playing and blew everyone away.

Our other newcomer was Kyle Marney. He played a really great set, and was kind enough to do an encore later in the evening. I'd also like to note that the proceeds from his CD are going to the Warrior Foundation, really great organization.

At 9 p.m. our good friend Jim Cook assumed the hosting duties. I for one was really glad to have him take over and play as I've seen him at his regular show and knew he'd be a kick ass host. Jim does a regular show on blogtv as well on Saturday nights at 9 p.m. (eastern time). Jim has folks come on as a co-host during his regular show who were kind enough to come on during his portion of the event. Really great stuff I hope you folks will check him out!

Rob Mazurek as always sent us 3 videos that we played during the event, Rob has been with us since day one and I'm happy and proud to be able to play his music and call him a friend. He's a really great guy and one hell of a guitar player.

Now Accepting Interview/Play Requests
I would love to get back to doing musician interviews so if you (or someone you know) is an independent musician, who would love the exposure, please shoot me an email. Please keep in mind that this interview would have to be done over Skype, or I would need a number to call via Skype to bring you on. If I need to call you, I have no problem footing the bill, as it only costs me something like 2 cents a minute and for a great musician interview, it's well worth it to me. I would also like to get back to co-hosting musicians and having live music during the show. Message me if you are interested (I have another channel set up just to do test shows to make sure everything works) and we'll get ya set up.
Also, anyone who was on the show for an interview over the last couple of years, is also invited back to the show, we had some awesome interviews with you guys and would love to see what you've been up to since we last talked and introduce you to our larger audience on blogtv (as opposed to the old blogtalkradio channel)
I would also like to extend a special invite to all the musicians who have come by and played at our music events, I think it would be really great for our viewers/listeners to get to know you folks better as well!
Also, I know I mention it during the show, and I've mentioned it in this blog once or twice, but I do have a standing invitation for musicians who have been at our events, or have played live on the show before to come on and play a set. I don't always remember to ask, invite or offer so if there is a night that you guys and gals are feeling musical just ask, I would love to bring you on and entertain us!
The show airs every Sunday night at 9 pm (eastern time) on blogtv.com! Again, drop me a line at riskybusiness04@gmail.com and let me know if you're interested.
Thanks and have a great weekend!

Show Updates
Haven't done one of these in a while, guess now is as good a time as any to do a quick update.
I really enjoyed our recent chat with Pete Berwick, he's always been a great guest to have on the show. He told me later that because of lack of sleep he was worried about sounding incoherent but after listening to the interview found out that he made perfect sense.
Yeah ya did Pete, it was great talking to ya, and having you on the show, and the feedback I've gotten from the viewers, they enjoyed it as well.
So, here we are at the end of the year, as regulars to the show as well as this blog know, we kind of get into a lull this time of year because of the holidays so I won't be doing any heavy show planning between now and the end of the year. We're just going to have great music and great times in chat. Come join us, we're on blogtv every Sunday night at 9 pm (eastern US), and if I don't get an opportunity to say it beforehand....
Happy Holidays

Upcoming Shows
Hey everyone, happy Saturday.
Just wanted to take a few and talk about some of the upcoming shows for December. On the 5th Pete Berwick will be making his return appearance. It's always a blast to have Pete on the show and to be honest it's been way too long. I'm really looking forward to it!
I'm also planning a end of the year recap, just a short walk down memory lane for one of the last shows of 2010 so if there are any moments (besides the night Angela and Deb showed me the pink pig, already planning it) let me know. You can leave it in the comments section below or just email me.
People have been asking me if I'm going to be doing a show on New Years eve. To be honest last years show was just a spur of the moment almost didn't happen sort of thing and I'm kinda hesitant to do one this year because there are other regularly scheduled shows on blogtv on Friday nights so it really depends partly on if I have any plans and what the other guys are doing. If I'm home and not doing anything else, and there isn't anything else going on in blogtv land, then yes.
Another idea is maybe to do it on the channel I usually use for my "test" channel. I really haven't decided yet, I'll let you guys know.
Don't forget to join us tomorrow starting at 9 pm (eastern), and have a great weekend!

Updates 11/8/10
Hi everyone.
I was planning my return to the airwaves last night, however something came up and instead of trying a "juggling act" I decided to extend my hiatus to 3 weeks.
So, my return to the blogtv airwaves will be this coming Sunday, November 14th. I have an action packed show with new music, a rant or two, as well as a funny weenie of the week.
Sorry I missed everyone last night, see you all real soon!

Ok, a Real Blog Now
While I sit here listening to Shovelheadkevin now is a good time as any to post a quick recap of this weeks show.
While at work on Sunday I chugged down a Red Bull, and a one liter of Mountain Dew. I was pretty hyper Sunday night...lol
I broke out the infamous pink guitar, and the whole nine yards. You can tell in this weeks videos that I was pretty wound up.
Later in the show as promised Kelly Hoyle Fuller made her return appearance and played a couple of her new songs. One of them is on her youtube channel so check it out!
I did record the usual weekly update, (see post below) as well as an idea I have for the show. I want to do a segment called "Weenie of the Week" and pick out someone, or something that fits the title, preferably related to the music industry in some way. As I mentioned during the show it's open for anyone with any ideas or whatever just submit them via the comments below. I'll post the video when I get it uploaded onto youtube.
One thing I noticed today that I thought was kinda cool. Blogtv has the recorded video for my Weenie of the Week idea featured on the front page, would be cool to see if anyone that doesn't usually come to the show has any ideas.

Other Shows on Blogtv....
Just about every week during my show on blogtv I record a video, calling it the "weekly update". I've also called it the weekly ramble in the past, because sometimes that is how it ends up coming out...lol
What I decided this week for the video was to talk about some of the other shows on blogtv that I generally hang out at (see previous post) so I think it would be handy to have a blog post with the links as well.
All times posted are Eastern U.S.
Tonight, and every Wednesday night at 9 pm my good friend Deb hosts her show Unsigned Musicians featuring the music of some of the best of the best of the Indie Artists. If you like my show you'll love hers, in fact many parts of my show were modeled after hers including the slideshow and playing mp3's. I haven't seen many shows on blogtv doing this sort of format.
A great show to hang out at on Friday nights after a stressful week is Didgerods. As I've mentioned in past blogs he plays the Native American flute and didgeridoo. His show is a great place to unwind and relax, I'll be honest and say I don't always log in to the chat. There are many weeks I'd much rather sit back, relax and unwind. I gotta be flat out honest and tell ya, words can't describe what this show will do for you, your best bet is to check it out for yourself.
Every other Monday night at 9 pm (the next show is this coming Monday September 20th) my bud Shovelheadkevin hosts his show called appropriately enough "Just Another Show" on his channel on blogtv. He talks about everything from racing, politics, (or politricks as he likes to say) cooking tips, and everything in between. One thing I can say about Kev's show is that you never know whats going to happen next. It's never a dull moment and always a good time at Kevins show.
There are other great shows on blogtv that I didn't mention during the video. These are shows that I haven't have a chance to check out myself lately, but when I was a regular at these shows I have to say they were pretty awesome.
Tuesday nights at 10:15 Jody Parker hosts his show Jody's House. Great musician and a brilliant songwriter.
Thursday nights starting at around 10 (ish) Acoustic Brew with Jamie Gray
Friday nights generally after Didgerods broadcast the other Jack in our group hosts his show Fridaylive. He has a pretty awesome house party with really great music and broadcasts it live on blogtv.
There ya go, have a great week!
