LWIM! album cover earns Gigwise honor

Incredibly, the editors of Gigwise.com somehow overlooked my comedy music EP, Look What I Made!, for their notorious 50 Most Controversial Album Covers Of All Time feature.

But my album cover is scrappy, and it wasn’t about to be overlooked the second time around. Sure enough, Look What I Made! is the No. 7 selection in the essential follow-up, Gigwise Readers’ Most Controversial Album Covers!

“Bowing down to readership demand, here they are in all their macabre glory,” the article begins. “Starting off tame, a few clicks in and the run-down gets more and more shocking and offensive — especially to those who are religious. Be warned.” Continue reading

Some of my favorite People I Know

Steve Wheatley might be the most voracious client of the Podsafe Music Network, grabbing dozens of new tracks for his daily Dalecast.

Now, People I Know, introduced recently on Steve’s U.K.-based power pop program, isn’t exactly new. My brother-in-law, John, produced the track during two Terre Haute recording sessions that spanned some five months, concluding in fall of 2006.

Powerplay!

It’s Powerplay week for Fly Me To The Moon on Dalecast, and I’m basking in the spotlight.

However, if the fans weren’t sick of my Jerry Lewis impression before, they will be after Dalecast host Steve Wheatley is finished rubbing their ears in it.

To make matters worse, Dalecast is now distributed in full 128k stereo. Steve, defying the wishes of his avidly low-fi listeners, abandoned his old 48k format just in time for my Powerplay. Continue reading
