    Again, streamlining some of the processes here at SkyPieces Radio. Stats show that the far majority of listeners are getting their feed through other sources than directly from this page, so drop me a line if there's anything I can help you with out there.

  • Episode 15 - Leaner and Meaner
    Yah, I got your Episode 15 right here, baby!!

    I know, I know. All I can say is, I have been mondo busy. But, I have missed this. I explain a bit about the hiatus in this episode, but I figure the best thing to do is get back in here and start cranking out the rock! A few changes in this episode, starting with the length/size.

    The specs: 11:13 and 10.8 MB

    In the interest of streamlining this baby so it has a prayer of getting done, the shownotes have been abridged. If those time-coded shownotes were a huge benefit to you, let me know. In the meantime, here is a simple track list.

    The Radio Knives - Diggin' Out
    John Keenan - When We Lay Down
    Lark Watts and Rattleshake - Fourth of July

    Please feel free to email me: [email protected]

    A special huge Thank You to Christopher Gabbitas. We got some good stuff here, buddy.

    Reverted back to the white shownote pic. That periwinkle-on-blackboard color was tough to look at with small print (as opposed to the header on the homepage).

    A few extra links you might want after listening this week, including some fantastic podcast recommendations:

    The PMC Top Ten
    The Chewing Gum Volley
    ABC Television's LOST Podcast

    As always, tweaking and adding new stuff all the time. In this episode, the debut of the "SkyPieces Radio Dictionary of Depravity and Degradation", as well as the "SkyPieces Radio Bum's Rush". New graphic designs for blog header, iTunes artwork and album art/show notes.

    After submissions to dozens of podcast directories this past week, there has been a spike in listenership. Plus, we are now officially listed in the iTunes Directory! All this activity, compared to an examination of the stats for this page, tell me that we are getting listeners from many places other than this page. So, for you folks, here are a few links you might find helpful:

    The RSS Feed for SkyPieces Radio

    The iTunes Shortcut for SkyPieces Radio

    As you can see, this is an "encore" episode of sorts. I've been getting a lot more traffic lately and I thought this would be a good way to bring the newcomers up to speed. I hate that they missed this much already. It isn't everything I've played for the first nine episodes, but it is the highlights. And... I shut up more this time.

    Email me. Tell me where you are, what you listen to the show on (iTunes, WPM, etc) and what else you listen to. I love to get recommendations for other shows. Tell me what you think of the new theme music, etc. Also, sign up for the email list over there on the right column. Get these show notes in your inbox.

    Go ahead. Rock'n'roll.

  • Episode 09 - Biting My Tongue
    Episode 09 is here (insert your own witticism).

    After finishing everything off, I am noticing some slight distortion in the host vocal (that means when I talk). I was experimenting this week with a new compression plug-in to get a punchier sound on parts of the show. In early production, things sounded fine. After I finished up I heard the junk. Rather than tear everything back apart to fix it, I wanted to go ahead and get it out to you. This did not affect the music itself in anyway. Next week I'll go in and tweak the settings on that. In the meantime, I can recommend that you turn the volume on your media player or iTunes down a bit and turn up your speaker volume instead. Occasionally this little "gainstaging" trick will help.

    The stats: 26:34 and 30 MB

    Show Notes:

    00:00 Episode Tag (09)
    00:03 SkyPieces Theme
