Castledoor - Remember When
Follow the Dove - EP - BUY HERE
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?
Podcast #22 coming soon...

Wow - I didn't think you were coming back! Thanks! Now I need to download the new ones.
Re the haters, screw them. This is your podcost, not theirs. You play what you think sounds great, and I'll happily listen. Granted, "Under the Radar" is kind of tough to say for someone like Tom Petty. But it is true that he (and others like him) doesn't get airplay anymore like he used to. Too much Brittney and Christina choking up the airwaves.

Hi Kami,
I totally agree with you. Playing music on your podcast only helps a bands exposure. I have bought several songs from bands I have never heard of simply because I listen to this podcast. Keep up the great work and thanks for being an avenue for people to support up and coming artists.

hey..it's this very reason my podcast/audioblog is so lew key..and even when I play stuff, it's often live instrumental stuff. But it's cool you play some bands I know, although it doesn't appear too many of the indie bands. I do what you do on forums and things..trying to pimp bands who more people need to hear. Particularly in the Progressive-Indie Rock style.
