W♥M 021: The Telephones

Download this episode (53 min)  

In a recent trend of birds on the cover is The Telephones's The Bridge mini-album. The album is in the middle of a final mix for CD pressing, but we were sent some demos (they sound good the way it is, to be honest), which we've used throughout this interview.


Joining us are: Andy Richardson, Jay Marriott, and Gary "Gaz" Sitlinton, along with W♥M jazz contributor Dave.


As showrunner, I wanted to let you know that there are two distinct segment of this episode: a topic-centric/controlled portion (the standard interview) and a casual portion (which is just a few people sitting around talking about music). I do recommend hanging in there for the second part to hear some 90s flashback.


It was a lot of fun to do these band interviews, so maybe if we can co-ordinate it... Unfortunately, it seems I am only free on Sunday to do these setup. Hopefully, when Derek gets set up, he would be taking over as showrunner/MC for non-Sundays podcasts.


Speaking of which, if we can get our act together, next week, Derek and I will be doing a special "bookcast" edition of W♥M Radio. I'm very excited to be discussing books, so stay tune. Subscribe to our weekly podcast over at weheartmusic.mypodcast.com, where they offer a selection of xml, google and itunes variety. Let me know if you're having issues subscribing.

W♥M 020: Home Taping is Killing Music

Download this episode (41 min)  

WOW, another epic podcast, with co-hosts Derek & Soup. Although this episode is more topics-centric (RIAA, MP3s, and state of music), I think the next podcast will be half-topic and half casual.

Some topics we touched on:

RIAA vs Muxtape, CDs are too expensive, music blogs, internet radio royalties going up twice as much as traditional radio, taping off the radio, whatever happened to recording hunting?, Taping Kills Music, concerts, what we're listening to...
