Welcome to Indie Launchpad Podcast Episode #122

Monday 28th September 2009

With the passing of my Mother in Law on Saturday, I wanted to pick a song that while poignant given the singer, was also beautiful and I couldn't have chosen a better song than Somewhere Over the Rainbow from Eva Cassidy. I took the liberty of including this, even though I do not have permission, but made sure to obscure the intro and outro. If I get a complaint, I will republish with the song removed.

Indie Launchpad Update

podcast@indielaunchpad.com (Colin Meeks) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 19:13:27 PST

Just wanted to give an update on Indie Launchpad. As you've probably noticed, reviews have slowed to a trickle. I've been trying to get some done over the last few weeks, but with best intentions, the spare time has just not been forthcoming. Indie Launchpad has always been a labour of love for me, so first let me put your mind at rest, I am not going away, or shuttering the shop, as I have done with a few other web properties. Indie Launchpad will continue, as will the podcast, but I have to try to reorganise my life and find a way to plug Indie Launchpad back in again. With this in mind, I'm going to place the podcast on indefinite hiatus, while I try to put to bed a few other time drains and then think about how I can move everything forward.

On top of this, Google in it's infinite wisdom, is playing silly buggers with Feedburner feeds, which this site uses, as does the podcast and I think I'd prefer to fiddle about in the background and make sure everything is running smoothly, before getting up a head of steam and potentially causing myself unnecessary headaches.

So what does this mean for people who have already submitted material to Indie Launchpad, well nothing. Your music is still in review rotation and I will get to it when I find some time to actually start listening again. While I am not actively contacting bands and artists, you are still more than welcome to approach me through the usual channels, and partners with whom I have a working relationship, may still continue to submit. Anyone contacting me for review, will be made aware of this post and will then be able to decide if they still want to submit.

So this is by no means a goodbye note. I just need to finally try to get my priorities in order and then I can focus on the things I truly love, with Indie Launchpad being very much a part of this.

Anyway I will cross post this on the main Indie Launchpad site and the Podcast site, just so I reach everybody. I'm not going to post any artificial dates or timelines, suffice to say it will be sooner rather than later. You'll still probably find the odd review being posted here, so that should put your mind at rest, that I haven't vanished off the face of the earth.

Thank you to all the artists and bands who have made Indie Launchpad a sheer joy. Not forgetting a very special thanks, to you, the reader, who hopefully has found many great bands and artists to purchase music from.

Here's looking forward to a reinvigorated Indie Launchpad coming to a web browser near you soon.

Thanks, Colin

Welcome to Indie Launchpad Podcast Episode #114

Sunday 23rd November 2008

As Christmas draws in, I really need to get my stuff together and get some Christmas reviews out. Apart from that, life is as hectic as ever. Went to the Santa Claus parade downtown and froze, but the kids enjoyed themselves, getting lots of candy canes. I think they'll start thinking of this as Halloween 2.

Don't forget to check out Cherry Peel. They've got some great bands there and the site is starting to look very promising.

A nice relaxed show, although I can't seem to stop my trap running at a mile a minute. Love, Love, Love the new Passenger album. Be sure to check their website and MySpace page for some neat free downloads.

(Sorry this is a repost. Looks like a copy and paste problem, caused the last podcasts shownotes to be incorporated into this weeks. Sorry for having butter fingers. I edited the other entry, but thought it safer to do a repost. Colin)

OK, so looks like I have to release a podcast every two weeks until I have more time to call my own. It's funny I feel so guilty for doing that, but it's better than leaving you dangling wondering if anything is coming out. Hopefully normality can be achieved in the near future.

A minor blip last week, but back with a vengeance. Sorry about the sound quality, now recording in a slightly noisier environment, so need to play with my settings.
