Awfully cheesy to open with a coffee table quote, but it’s pretty fitting for what I hope I’ll be doing here. There’s nobody actually reading this today (or anytime soon), but for the benefit of the potential hoards of listeners this site will surely attract in the coming decades, obsessively consuming all available archived material, to be preserved for future generations on the next Voyager Golden Record, here’s the mission: I’ll be trying to throw together regular (weekly? bi-weekly?) podcasts of my favorite musics. Ideally, I’d love to start harassing favorite artists of mine for play-lists, or even show recordings to aggregate here. I’ll summarize my music fascinations in the coming days/weeks, but rest assured, my taste in music is nearly immaculate.
Podcasting, for whatever reason, hasn’t really taken off. Part of the reason, I think, is the continued demonization of mp3s and downloaded media. To some extent, the independents have embraced these technologies, but even many of these folks are afraid of the format. I’ve heard on multiple occasions of podcasts receiving unfriendly correspondence from independent labels regarding their content on podcasts. This shouldn’t be a problem here, though, since the audience will consist almost entirely of immediate family. Hopefully my grandmother can figure out RSS sometime soon, rocketing my potential audience into the impressive double digits.
I’ve been meaning to do this for a longtime, and I’ve already run a small private podcast and produced about 5 episodes for that show. That little show isn’t enough, my loins burn hot with the desire to share my favorite music with the public at large. I hope you enjoy.
