Razorlight

Thank God my Clash magazine came in the mail and I happened to read that Razorlight released a new album in the UK almost 2 months ago on Nov. 3rd! How did this escape my radar I love this band?!

Razorlight released their third studio album, Slipway Fires, on November 3rd 2008 with the lead single, "Wire To Wire", being released on October 20th 2008.

The band have confirmed that the next single to be taken from Slipway Fires will be "Hostage of Love"; it is due to be released on January 12th 2009.

Everyone this is a must if you love art & music, please check out Razorlight's website: http://razorlight.co.uk/

You can navigate the entire website while watching all their videos. Yes some parts may be hard to read and it might not be crawler friendly, but it's a cool concept.

The second I hit the website, I was hooked by the music and Johnny Borrell! If you have never seen them live, seriously their live performances are over-the-top amazing, think freddie mercury.

Can someone please tell me when this album is coming out in the U.S.? I can't find any site online reporting this info. If they no longer have a U.S. label, I would be happy to release and market this ablum. It is an absolute must buy not-to-mention the band rules the school live!

KCRW & FILTER PRESENTS
Rob Dickinson (Catherine Wheel) CD Release Party!

Set Times
Doors @ 8:30pm
The Daylights @ 9pm
Rob Dickinson @ 10pm

One of my favorite musicians on the planet, Rob Dickinson, The former Catherine Wheel frontman, still remains one of the most criminally overlooked forces in music. Many will recall Britain's Catherine Wheel as one of the most range-roaming, seminal and viscerally intense alternative rock bands of the '90's: "Eat my dust, you insensitive fuck," purred silky vocalist Rob Dickinson on the band's 1994 release HappyDays.

Dickinson is re-releasing his debut solo album, Fresh Wine For The Horses, which will come as a two-disc set with the Nude EP on June 10. The album itself will come with the brand new song, "The End Of The World," which is classic Rob.

The second disc is a six track EP of freshly recorded Catherine Wheel classics that you will get to hear in their acoustic glory. He still remains one of the most criminally overlooked forces in music, but perhaps 2008 will bring him the recognition that he deserves.

ROB DICKINSON ecard: http://www.thesyn.com/online/dickinson/

********************************************

The Daylights did 20+ dates with OneRepublic earlier this year and plan on going back out on the road this summer/fall. There music has been placed in video games, movies, commercials, TV shows, etc. They have been signed to a major but are now a free agent. They are a 3-piece band and have a range of influences from U2 to Radiohead to Coldplay to being just as much inspired by the literary greats (Steinbeck, Rilke and Dostoyevsky).

Other great news is that The Daylights are being featured in the Miller Highlife rewards program. You can find codes on over 40 million Miller cases that give you access to free songs and more. So buy Miller High Life and get free Daylights songs...yeah!

And their songs are also being featured with The Hotel Indigo Group, which means you'll be able to hear a few of their tunes at the following hotels: Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Hotel Indigo, InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Staybridge Suites, Candlewood Suites, etc.

Michael Johns on American Idol

I played a Michael Johns song in February 2005 on Podcast #5 called "Statues" but at that time his band was called The Rising. The band signed to Maverick in 2001 but their debut album, Future Unknown, was never released. Now you can listen to The Rising and buy the album on iTunes.

In October 2006 Michael Johns released his self-titled debut solo album that is best described as "rock with soul" independently. It used to be available for purchase on iTunes but has since been taken down.

Johns auditioned for American Idol in San Diego and is now one of the Top 11 finalists. Watch Michael sing Bohemian Rhapsody below. Cowell honored him with the "best audition of the day" and Seacrest "potentially the best so far", which was the most positive feedback at this stage in the game ever received.



His top 24 performance of Light My Fire earned him praise as a "true legend rock performer" when Jackson compared him to Michael Hutchence and Cowell added that he has the "natural charisma of a lead singer".



Watch his top 16 performance of Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds.



Watch his top 12 performance of Across the Universe by The Beatles.



Be sure to tune in and watch Michael Johns on American Idol Tuesday night. He will light the place on fire and make you want to dust off that treadmill!

Mailing List + Podcast #23 Remixed

My mailing list has been full for the past 2 months. I just found an new provider that doesn't cost an arm & a leg. If you have tried to join the mailing list in the past and couldn't, try to join now.

Also I improperly mixed Podcast #23 so that the audio was coming out of one speaker and the music out of the other. I fixed the problem and remixed it. I posted the new version of Podcast #23 on 12/11. If you downloaded my podcast before 12/11 then go download it again. If you didn't notice that the podcast was only coming out of one speaker then rock on!

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Castledoor - Remember When

1. Once upon an Intro
2. Burn the Maps
3. Growing a Garden
4. The Birds and the Fleas
5. What a day, What a day, What an Interlude
6. Magnetic Forces
7. Dove
8. Remember When

I've gotten a thousand emails asking who the artist was that I played in Podcast #21. It's Castledoor and the song is called 'Remember When'. I also played 'Growing a Garden' by Castledoor in Podcast #12. You should check them out on myspace and buy their EP on CD Baby!

Sorry my old podcasts are no longer available and that I've been MIA for almost 3 months! But a new podcast is coming soon I promise. From now on I will only be playing music by unsigned bands and indie artists to keep the few haters out there off my back.

I'm bummed not to be playing music by major label artists b/c there are so many great artists on the major labels that no one knows about. Major labels don't just sign superstars. They also sign developing baby bands but until the RIAA and publishers and major labels come to an agreement it's murky waters out there. It's really a shame b/c I know my podcasts result in peeps buying more music. Downloading a song for free from a podcast is not equivalent to stealing the song from a P2P client.

Bottom line is I KNOW peeps are buying more music b/c of podcasts and fans will seek out the easiest way to acquire the new song they just heard and fell in love with! So artists make it really easy for your fans to find buy links on your myspace page and website so they aren't tempted to steal your music. Let them know your music is for sale. Capiche?

Don't forget to vote!

Listen to Ray Lamontagne and The Kooks covering "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley in Podcast #18. I can't decide which version I like better so please vote so we can see what the majority thinks!

Chris Isaak - I Want You To Want Me (Cheap Trick)
Giant Drag - Wicked Game (Chris Isaak)

Johnny Cash - Rowboat (Beck)

Xavier Rudd - The Letter

Xavier Rudd's song "The Letter" is not a cover. I was on crack when I said he covered Joe Cocker. And Joe Cocker wasn't the writer of "The Letter" either. Wayne Carson Thompson wrote "The Letter" and it was The Box Tops that first made the song popular not Joe Cocker. So I should have played Joe Cocker's version of "The Letter" on my covers podcast. That would have made the most sense.

But out of all mistakes comes something good right? I discovered Xavier Rudd by searching for "The Letter". Xavier is from the land down under and has released several CD's and played Bonnaroo twice! Who knew! Not me obviously. Stay tuned for more goodies from Xavier on the next podcast.

Podcast Disclaimer

Bands Under the Radar (BUTR) is a music podcast featuring mostly artists that are flying under the radar.

Each BUTR podcast is available to download as one large mp3 file via iTunes or directly from this website.

I try to announce each artist's name during song intros and extros. Individual songs cannot be downloaded.

I encourage listeners to buy the music they hear and like on BUTR. Plus I link to the artists website and create iMixes if their song is available for purchase on iTunes.

My only intention is to promote good music to people who may not have the time or resources to discover new music on their own. I am not making any money from this website. The few donations I get help cover some of my bandwidth costs.

I really believe podcasting exposes people to new music and downloading a music podcast is not the equivalent of downloading individual songs or albums for free.

If there is a song that you feel I should not have played in my podcast please email me at: Kami.Knake@gmail.com and I will address your concerns immediately and remove the track if necessary.

Please support podcasting. I believe it can only help and not hurt artists.

Thanks!

Kami

iTunes Problem Fixed!

There's a bug with the current version of iTunes. I had to take out the line of code mentioning the itunes new-feed-url.

Basically I was telling iTunes that the new feed URL is the URL that it was already pointing to. This was causing the error and why iTunes was acting funny when you tried to subscribe to my podcast. I thought I had to post this line of code in my feed b/c iTunes was using my old URL that I haven't used in 1 1/2 years.

Anyway, this should now be the beginning of the end of problems with my podcast in iTunes--at least I'm praying it is! But the damage is done. I've lost a lot of subscribers in the last two months b/c my feed disappeared in iTunes and then reappeared not working. I hope you guys come back!

Best of Chris Isaak

Look for a "Best of Chris Isaak" album coming out this spring with 4 unreleased tracks. 2 of the songs are new and smokin' hot! There might be a cover and acoustic song thrown into the mix as well. There also might be a DVD full of music videos. Keep checking back for more info. In the meantime watch one of the sexiest videos ever made: Wicked Game.
