Every so often a song comes along that grabs you fast and makes you hit REPEAT over and over and over. This is just such a song. Keep tuned here to SkyPieces Radio for more from these guys for sure!

"Spotlight In The Sun" by The Sunpilots (myspace)

Who says you have to be signed to a major label to have a pro-quality video? The Divine Madness pull back the curtain on that and many more myths about indie bands in one fell swoop with this video.

"Closer" by The Divine Madness (myspace)

These cats are indie, on Chemicals Kill Records. Very nicely-done video and a sweet catchy tune to hang it on. Thumbs up!

"Guilty" by Assassins (myspace)

Specs: 13:31 and 15.5MB

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.

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

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:

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 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
