Weenie of the Week 10-23-11

Also note that there will not be a show next week....

Eminem's Die Hard Fans

Last year during the show I discussed an article about how Eminem's new album was supposed to save the music industry. I had recorded the segment and posted it on YouTube. This has without a doubt become my most hated video on YouTube.

I still stand behind my original statement, which is that the industry wouldn't need "saving" if they put out music people actually wanted to buy. Granted, Eminem is popular, but I hardly call him original. I still say that it will be the indies, utilizing the power of the internet, that will bring the industry back, albeit in a new way.

Show notes;

We are getting into the time of year where life at work gets crazy. This year I've taken a different assignment which means life will be even crazier than usual. As I said during the show last week I plan to try to continue the weekly broadcast, but I have a feeling that life at work will interrupt this earlier this year than usual.

Hear the Angels Crying (Full Version)

Many of the folks that come by the show love this one. Thanks Rob for the privilege of allowing me to play it.

Show Updates and Other Stuff

Hey everyone.

Haven't posted a blog in quite a while. Just haven't had anything to blog about. The show is still going strong, although I was vacationing and took last Sunday off. Guess now is a good a time as any to note that we are getting into that time of year where the broadcast is going to start getting erratic due to obligations at work, but I will try to continue the broadcast as much as I can.

As I type this we are under the gun from Hurricane Irene. We are expecting tropical storm conditions sometime tomorrow evening so losing power is a possibility. With that in mind I'll be working on my show prep this evening with the assumption that I might not be able to tomorrow but hopefully the power will be back on in time for the broadcast on Sunday.

Thanks for all the support.

Weenie of the Week 8-7-11

What? No Blogs??

Yep, haven't posted a new blog in freaking forever. While I don't post nonsense blogs just for the sake of blogging I do know that I need to get back to this and get something up there.

Haven't forgotten or abandoned this, I promise.

Links to Musicians That Played at MusicFest 8

I'm unforgivably late in posting this, but I would first like to thank the musicians that played at MusicFest 8, we had a real blast with tons of awesome talent and if it weren't for you guys and gals, there wouldn't have been an event.

Rather than post the long winded blog that I usually do regarding the events, I think this time I'll just post the musician names and the links.

We had some downtime during the evening part of the show, I was honored to play some of the music that I play during my regular show. Given the audience I have to say that it was pretty awesome to have a chance to give my guys airplay to a bigger audience.

At 9 pm (eastern US time) I handed the reins off to our good friend Jim Cook. A kicks ass guy in his own right to be honest, and a great blogtv host. He handled the remaining musicians, his links are below.

Again my thanks to all the musicians that came out to the event, and I'd especially like to thank Deb from the Unsigned Musicians show for putting it together. She's been rocking on her own show recently, (not that she didn't before but anyway) with live talent every week. Her show kicks ass and can be seen every Wednesday night at 9 pm (again, eastern US time) on blogtv.
