Ever have one of those days where you go to record all the talkie bits of your music podcast and discover too late that the recording levels were far lower than they needed to be? Maybe it's just me. Fortunately for you, the listener, I re-recorded the bits and put everything back together so I don't sound like I'm whispering between songs. I recorded the talkie bits using my new Shure 55SH Series II mic onto a Marantz PMD620 Recorder, which just means that you're hearing me in stereo now. You may not have even realized you were hearing me in mono before.

Also, upon reflection, I'm not 100% certain it was Pop Garden Radio where I heard The Orchid Highway. It might have been The Time Machine. Either way, they're both excellent shows worth your listening time.

86: Let Me Go Places Beyond My Means

ed@suitcasefullofdimes.com (ed@suitcasefullofdimes.com) — Sat, 03 May 2008 17:00:02 -0500

A couple late breaking things that weren't mentioned in the podcast. First, listen to The Time Machine tonight between 8 and 8:30pm to hear a quick promo I recorded this week. You can access the web stream at http://www.manaoradio.com. Second, James Deem emailed me today regarding a companion CD that's being released in conjunction with the Charlotte Popfest. You can pre-order the disc starting Thursday at http://www.charlottepopfest.com and receive four bonus songs on mp3. That's 29 songs for $10, all of which goes to the World Vision charity. As my dad used to say, "You can't beat that with a stick."

ed@suitcasefullofdimes.com (ed@suitcasefullofdimes.com) — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 08:23:10 -0500

Sorry it's taking so much time to get a new show up, folks. I've been upgrading the podcasting setup with a new laptop for (eventual) mobile shows, a new mixer, and a groovy new mike. I had set aside some time this weekend to record a new show on the old setup, but the old setup was apparently older than I thought. It's now moved on to the great beyond where it frolic in the clouds with TI99-4As, Commodore 64s, and Apple 2Cs for eternity.

I'm going to try and salvage the hard drive tonight so I might conceivably get a new show out within the next few days. As for replacing the desktop, our association will be auctioning off their old computers in the next couple weeks, so I may be able to snag one cheap that way.

Bear with me. I have some really awesome tracks lined up for the next few episodes.

ed@suitcasefullofdimes.com (ed@suitcasefullofdimes.com) — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 08:10:28 -0600

Lots of yummy music in this edition of the show. I meant to throw in a special thank you at the end to Parthenon Huxley for stopping on a dime and throwing together a couple of excellent "show IDs" this morning.

Also, I urge you to send me some feedback regarding the little news segment and the midpoint of the show. I know it's a bit raw, hence the "no frills," but I really want to know if I should put more effort into it or just pile it on the scrap heap.

Oh, and of course, subscribe to the James Deem/Ed James Popcast in iTunes and check out information for the Charlotte Popfest in July.

Also: I just got word that Michael McCartney's show, The Time Machine, will be extended this week. He'll be playing some great Christmas songs, in addition to the usual pop, starting at 3PM EST. So between The Time Machine and Pop Garden Radio, that's twelve hours of great streaming music today.

I fully intended to start getting these out last weekend but, once again, life got in the way. Some notes on this set: I decided to include the Nelson Bragg song after hearing him interviewed on Pop Garden Radio last weekend. If you're free on Saturday night, Adam will be doing his annual Christmas show from 10PM to 3AM EST. I plan to be in his chat room during the show, so it should be a lot of fun.

Also: The Axe Riverboy track really stood out for me. When I went to research the album info after recording the show, I discovered why. Axe Riverboy is the pseudonym taken on by Xavier from Tahiti 80 for his solo project. I suppose I'll just have to go and buy the CD on iTunes now.
