Up the Tree

  • Between the holiday festivities, holiday shopping, tracking down Josiah, and the heat falling apart in my apartment its been hard finding the time to get in from of the mic. This is no way to start off a music career. Freezing in ones apartment.

    I have tons of things to talk to you guys about.

    I am trying to work out a Josiah guest appearance, but it’s been hard to get our schedules into place.

    We would also like to thank Seth over at “Paint The Sky”:http://paintthesky.org/ for helping me pick out a new software package to record the podcasts with. It should be here shortly and allow for multiple mics to be recorded at once… in other words you wont notice any change.

    Again I apologize for the delay, but I really want show 10 to be a big one and not suck.

    Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season. Be safe.

    In other news I have found two new podcasts that have tickled my preverbal fancy.

    “WHYME: Worst Music You’ve Ever Heard”:http://www.paintthesky.org/whyme.html is the podcast of my pal Seth, who has come through on his promise to deliver a podcast by year end. It’s really very good and has all the markings of a NPR show. Seth and his wife have a really good repartee and seem comfortable in front of the microphone.

    “Loft 405”:http://www.loft405.com/blog/ is a new Podcast that I can’t help but like. The host is so hilariously dorky that I listen with a permanent grin through the entire show. His laughs are collectors items, his demeanor is incredibly sweet, and anyone who owns and uses a *Flowbe* is alright by me.

    Two great shows for the price of one!

  • PodcastAlley.com has this little podcast rated as number 7 or something ridiculous! Fricking 7?! Now I ain’t one for these type for stroke fests, but come on people! Now I ain’t declaring no war against my Podcast brothers above me, shit I’m already in the top 10 music podcasts, but I didn’t get this far by being pretty.

    So far the line up looks as follows

    # Rock and Roll Geek Show (As expected)
    # Insomnia Radio (Mad Props)
    # East Detroit Radio (Who? I’m going to take a listen)
    # Coverville (Alright good show)
    # DownloadRadio.org (Who the fudge?)
    # Whole Wheat Radio Rants Channel (Damn! I knew I shouldn’t have linked to this awesome dude, now he is taking my spot!)
    # Tracks Up The Tree (weep)

    So, be good boys and girls send me some love with your vote. Pronto my pets! Ronda Shear commands it!
