DigiVegas 120 -- Christmas Is Jesus

This is a VERY rough mix of Christmas Is Jesus, performed by Living Water Fellowship Church of Henderson, NV.



We recorded on 4 different 2-track recorders. The tracks did not sync up, and all recorded at slightly varying speeds throughout the program. It was a pain in the neck to line everything up and keep it all synchronized. So, please be forgiving of the mix, I know it sucks. I will continue to work on this in the coming weeks and hopefully will have something much better for you sometime in January, maybe even February.



Sorry. Guess I'll never shoot my mouth off again and promise to deliver something like this so quickly.

Next year will be better. Once I get my new computer, I will be able to record 16, maybe 20 tracks at a time with that, automatically synced, and another 8 with a friend's stand alone recorder. Maybe I can sync that up too, but even if I don't the 8 will be synced up with each other, and it'll be much easier to line it up with what I already have. It'll better and easier, trust me.



Merry Christmas everybody!

DigiVegas 118 - Patti Rothberg

Paulie Podcaster's guest this week is former EMI recording artist Patti Rothberg. Her song, Inside, broke into the Billboard top 40 charts in 1996. She's toured the world opening for acts such as The Wallflowers, Chris Isaac, Midnight Oil, Garbage, Paul Westerberg and many others. Things were going well for her, that is, until her record label went out of business in 1998. Talk about the rug being pulled out from under you!

Patti has since gone Indie, and has recently released her third album, Double Standards. Join paulie as he catches up with Patti and plays tracks off her new CD, as well as her back catalog.

DigiVegas 116 - Shadows Lie

Rising from the New York City underground is Shadows Lie.
Their music is a unique mix of Days of the New-style acoustic guitars, Portishead-like electronics and heavy-guitars reminiscent of Staind and Linkin Park built around a powerful singer, Kira Leigh. Combined with CT's production skills, Marco Britti on drums and Frank Grullon on guitars, they form the foundation of a fresh sound that uniquely melds sonic strength with emotional truth and vulnerability.

Kira Leigh joins us on episode 116 of DigiVegas to share tracks off of their new CD "Echoes".

Daydream On Autopilot - DigiVegas 115

Hailing from NYC and PA, Daydream On Autopilot is my guest this week. Lead singer Emii (center) joins me to share tracks off their new CD Better Off Alone, and to explain how this band walks the walk, as well as talks the talk. (or should that be 'sings the song'?) They have made a conscious decision to give back to their community, and to society in general, right out of the gate, from the very beginning. They are deeply involved in S.A.D.D. and Character Counts, reaching kids all over the country with their positive, drug-free message. Oh yeah, and they rock really hard too. That doesn't hurt their chances at all either.

Check them out on episode 115 of DigiVegas!

Guns Or Butter - Digivegas 114

My guest this week is one of the most active bands I have ever met, Hot Buttered Rum, from San Francisco, CA. Erik Yates joins me to discuss the many activities and causes the band is involved in beyond their music. Hot Buttered Rum makes no separation between their music and their activism. They unapologetically undergird their shows with songs about social equality, environmental responsibility, and political change, and then back it up by touring in a biofueled bus and donating their time to service work at schools, Native American reservations, and political fundraisers.

Oh yeah, then there's the music too. It's a blend of American styles—folk, rock, jazz, and newgrass. It's great stuff! Check it out on episode 114 of DigiVegas.

DigiVegas 112 - Donna Lewis

My guest this week is Donna Lewis. You might remember her and her big hit in 1996, I Love You, Always Forever. It became an instant global phenomenon, climbing to the top of the charts in countries around the world. In the USA, it re-wrote the record books at radio by exceeding 1 million 'spins' to claim its place in music industry history as the most-played single ever, at that time. As well as on her own material, Donna's voice has also been heard on a series of other hits. She featured on Fox Films' soundtrack for Anastasia - an album that was certified gold in the USA - with the song At The Beginning.

In 1999 she decided to take a big break in order catch up on her own life. What has she been doing with herself lately? While on "hiatus" she collaborated with various other artists and in 2002 Donna released an intimate, unplugged style CD Be Still, available to her fans exclusively through her web site. In late 2007 Donna released her new Indie Album In The Pink, then released it in the US in Early 2008.

Listen to episode 112 of DigiVegas to hear more of her so-called "rest", as well as tracks off of Be Still and In The Pink.

DigiVegas 111 - The States

Joining me this week is Brooklyn based Indie rockers The States. The States's razor-edged political rock has the uncanny ability to simultaneously sound like Radiohead, Led Zeppelin, and the front page of the New York Times. Their inventive songwriting has been featured on ESPN, VH1, and MTV, and it has also made them Winners in the 2008 International Songwriting Competition ("All the Salt in the Sea") and Grand Prize Winners in the 2007 John Lennon Songwriting Contest ("Black Jack"). The band's latest release, 2007's The Path of Least Resistance, spent 6 straight weeks on the CMJ Top 200. The States recently opened for Candlebox at Summerfest 2008 in Milwaukee, and they are currently working on their 3rd album with producer Chris Grainger (Wilco, Switchfoot).
