Popdose: The Popdose Podcast: Episode 1

    The trick will be working Wing into every episode somehow.
  • DwDunphy · 1 month ago
    No trick necessary. Just have someone blurt out, "Oh my God, there sounds like a terrible car accident out there!", and the rest writes itself.
  • dslifton · 1 month ago
    Maybe "trick" was the wrong word. I should have written "fun part."

    I think an official theme song from Wing is in order. Wing, come back!

    Perhaps "Can't Get Enuff" by Winger.
  • Matt · 1 month ago
    That's a fantastic idea - perhaps Winger could even record a new version.
  • maxus · 1 month ago
    Yeah, Winger would probably charge less than Wing.

    I liked your discussion the BMI and ASCAP and how downloading music from blogs or even Popdose is something that's not as attractive to readers as it used to be. I know the music reviews with downloadable songs were a way to get readership up on certain posts, but the last few reviews you've done without featuring a couple of downloadable songs have done well in terms of page views.

    I'd like to think there was a sort of silent graduation that is occurring. The site is moving past some repository to grab free songs from, and becoming the magazine we've always seen it as.

    Exactly.

    I am sitting in my cube trying to stifle my laughter. And failing miserably. And I'm only halfway through the podcast.

    Thank you for the ASCAP/BMI demanding fees for samples info - very interesting!

    Speaking of Christmas music and the 'Saw Lady' - you should check out her musical saw Christmas CD (way better than the one that was on the radio last year - I forget it's name but it was a guy playing the saw). She has samples of it on her website.
    I see her at 59th & Lex all the time. Her hat & shirt don't say 'Saw Lady' - it says SawLady.com - which I think is a very clever way of advertising her website. Check out the photo you took of her - you got an advertisement for her website in it!

    - I had a dream...
    - I had an awesome dream!
    Gentlemen, I damn near shat myself.

    Thanks. Tell your friends!
  • maxus · 1 month ago
    Friends? I'm a Popdose fan, remember?
  • dslifton · 1 month ago
    Shit, I guess then you are, essentially, telling your friends.
  • maxus · 1 month ago
    I guess I could always tell my Robbie Nevil 45's and vintage Toto tees, right?

    Make sure to watch the episode of "Live From Daryl's House" featuring Todd Rundgren. They make sausages. I'm not kidding.

    Just wanted to say that I really dug the podcast. It was informative, entertaining, and I actually did laugh out loud a few times while I was running. Wonder what that passersby must have thought!

    Keep it up!

    Great! Glad to hear it. Thanks for letting us know!

    Nice work, fellas. I was waiting to hear Jason break down McD's work on the "South Park" soundtrack, but it never came up. (Hipster irony, or genuine McD love on the part of Parker & Stone?) The Daryl Hall stuff had me rolling.

    So does anybody have any suggestions for names for the final segment?
