S1: Splitsville

I had a fun time doing the research and putting this one together. I'm not sure who will be the next act I profile but I'm open to suggestions. And comments. Tell me what you like and what you don't like about this first episode. Is the bio stuff between songs too long or not comprehensive enough? I want to keep it short, but I don't want to leave too much out either.

Selection No. 1: Splitsville

"Forever" (from The Complete Pet Soul, 2000)
"The Next One" (from Incorporated, 2004)


Total Time—9:34

      52: You Speak In Volumes

      After a very unfortunate technical difficulty with the USB microphone I use that made me sound a lot like Marcel Marceau, the issue has been resolved. Turns out that a piece of software installed during the week wrecked the drivers for the mike. Once I uninstalled the software, all was well. And it's a good thing too, since I don't know if I could have kept this show in me for another twenty-four hours.

      Apologies

      Show #52 will be late. I just finished recording it and something went very wonky. The mike was dead throughout and so nothing was picked up. And since it's almost 1am here on the east coast, I'll just call it a night and re-record it all in the morning.

      My sincere apologies for the delay.

      Of course, this means that you could still call in an audio comment for the show at 206-338-5792.
