SnakeCasters and Topics Welcome
So want a cheap-sh*t way to be a podcaster? Forget everything else you have heard. Send me an MP3 file and maybe I will suck it into the show. Want to hear an example? Go back to my show called "Dead Sam and the Sheep that Wouldn't Die" where Bobo of the North sent a great 3 or 4 minute segment of about Elvin Jones, his giant death resisting sheep. You can do the same. If your topic is just the right mix of strange, fun, authentic and/or includes a paypal $50 deposit (kidding), I will include it and you will get access to the vast audience of Snakesters out there. BTW - I am back up to being rated #20 in the damn WORLD in terms of Music Podcast. OK, that is, on Podcast Alley. OK so saying that ranks me as #6 on the conceited list as well. Hey - don't hassle me in my own house!
There is danger in that podcast offer I made tho cause if you are the least bit geeky, you will find your self gradually pouring more money in to improve the sound of the setup. Hey, it's fun.
Finally - what topics do you get psyched over. Here's some I am working on in my head. (I tend to work em upstairs for quite a while, then they come together quicker later down here in the studio) OK so topics I am thinking of for soon . . . .. or maybe not.....
- The Next Dylan (wont tell you who - but I picked him out already - best writer ever)
- The Funnel (John Fahey) All the blues guys went into him, all the white pickers like Kottke came out the other side
- It Grabbed Me! Songs that I cant get thru singing or playing without breaking down (not sad - they just move the heck out of me)
- My Own Funeral - OK so i think about it. OK so I obsess about the soundtrack I would want...
- Local Chinese Bands (or, "Stop spitting while you play, for God's sake. Huh? Yes, I said God. Never mind, I dont have time to explain that one! Just stop Spitting!!)
- The Crazy Uncle You Keep in the Closet (I KNOW you have one!) I dont even know what that means, but I will figure it out

DSG,
I liked the themes in the past that picked up the quirky and, keeping in line with your previous post, 'surprises' or 'illuminated' aspects of rock and blues. I especially liked the bluegrass and reggae one, as well as the Robert Johnson one. So more of the same, maybe covering bass playing in the blues or how rock/blues goes down in Shanghai or something like that.
what Bruce said...
and, here's my 2 cents.. just take a listen to the first DSR from 8 March 2005, review your Mission Statement and take it from there...
Well there is a classic jazz band of olde folks a la Preservation Hall that is the famous band at the Peace Hotel on the Bund, but not my kind of stuff. Then there is a dozen or so US import bands that are pretty good jazz bands but basically exiles from US scene for 3 month contracts. Some are good but none will blow you away. It does beat the omnipresent Filipino Cover Bands tho. The best place so far is the House of Jazz and Blues on Maoming Lu. For the last 8 months or so the word is blues where Sam Hooper and his trio are holding court. Very Exciting rio of blues, and hendrix tinged rock. The Little Wing alone is worth the price of admission. . .
The picture is looking great. wonderful picture.
