La semana pasada publicamos una opinión sobre la temática, organización y publicidad del Pepsi Music 2013 , extrañamente apodado por sus organizadores como El Festival Más Grande De La Historia (a lo que irónicamente le cambiamos el nombre). Ayer sucedió otro hecho que deja entrever qué tan pésimo trato tienen los consumidores de recitales masivos en el territorio local, a dos semanas de la serie de shows a suceder en Costanera Sur el 2 y 3 de abril apareció una venta libre de entradas a un 50 por ciento de descuento, pintándole la cara a [...]

El combustible de bronca que representan las redes sociales y los ejemplos paupérrimos sponsoreados por grandes marcas fueron motivo suficiente para que en cada evento de la marca de gaseosa, cerveza o telefonía nos preguntemos: ¿qué tan difícil es hacer una celebración musical con shows internacionales y locales? La excusa de esta nota es analizar el Pepsi Music, estúpidamente apodado "El Festival Más Grande De La Historia”, próximo a suceder los días 2 y 3 de abril en Costanera Sur y con Pearl Jam y The Black Keys  como platos fuertes y un coletazo de bandas de afuera que pasan [...]

I had such a busy couple of days and I just wouldn't have been able to have this week's post up on time if I hadn't recorded early. Let's hear it for doing things earlier than the last minute! So, here's the new countdown. It's quite enjoyable and good and fun. One last thing: If you can watch the Grammys tonight, I'd recommend it. I think it's going to be a pretty [...]

So it just so happens that I got the exact same recording time for this one, TO. THE. SECOND. I mean, did I realize that it was probably going to work out that way when I was recording the last intro? Yes, I did. It's still cool, you guys. You don't see this kind of thing very often.

Hey everyone! Well, for the first year, I will be acknowledging the holiday on Monday. Not because I have made a point of not acknowledging it before, but because this is the first time that I've remembered that the holiday is on its way in time to make note of it on the show! This is a good show, if I do say so myself, but there are one or two intros that I think I may have let my mind lead my tongue way off the beaten path. Oh well, such is life, I suppose [...]

It's 2013 and we find ourselves where we always do in the hazy morning of the week after an Artists of the Year Countdown: Back to work. It's a countdown this week that kicks things off with 3 songs we've never heard on the show before. So that's fun! (and 2 other bands as well ;-) ) Countdown #135 ***FEATURING*** Atlas Genius The Black Keys fun.

If I knew someone named Eve, she might write that I forgot a comma and also that I don't know what day it is. But I don't and I didn't and I do! Yikes. It's late, but I'll be posting this ON TIME, dammit :) NOTE: At the beginning of the episode, I say that it's Episode 133. Which is wrong. I just didn't do the crucial "save as" step in my podcast creation process. And I didn't realize that until I tried to export the podcast as an mp3 and was told that the mp3 [...]

So that means it's an improvement, right? Things are all culminating. The year of music, the festive fifty, the holiday season, family visits. All of it. I'm not sure if I'm going to do a "Best Of the Year" post this year. Last year the top 10 were very clear to me. This year it would be a top 5 (so that it wouldn't just be the 10 albums I've heard this year) and I'm just not sure that's worth it... And I have a lot of musical irons in the fire. So I probably [...]

Hey guys, I hope you weren't too heartbroken when you saw my post this morning. And then I hope you didn't wait around all day, clicking refresh to see if I posted the new countdown. I mean, if you did, I'm very flattered and I thank you very much for your kind and much appreciated devotion....but I really do hope you did something more with your day... Anyway, it's kind of a two-for-one countdown this week and you'll see what I mean when you listen to the episode! See you next week, guys! Countdown [...]

My wife and child are sleeping as I type this up. We're all in the same room and I'm super happy that my computer doesn't make loud noise like a typewriter. Wouldn't that be horrible? It would be completely unreasonable for me to be typing this with two people trying to sleep. But that's not the case, so here we are. It's a good, fun episode this week and I hope you enjoy it! Countdown #131 [...]

I realized when recording this one that there are a lot of bands that are either touring in support of, or in the process of making, their debut albums. It'd be fun to see a show with all of them together. And I think it would work, genre-ically. If I win the lottery, I will host an annual year end concert with all of the bands that made the countdown, but have only released one album (LP) at most. What would I call it? ANYways.... Countdown #130 ***Featuring*** Alex Clare [...]

Yeah I went kind of crazy on the bonus songs, but I'm very thankful for all of you listeners and I will not apologize! I'm sorry, but that's just who I am ;-) I'm very interested to see if I can remember all of the artists featured on this episode. Let's find out together, shall we?

Yeah, I really shouldn't do these podcasts so late. I really let myself spool out the ramble on this one. But I think it's actually ok. Just make sure you listen to it at like 12:30 am. :) Countdown #128 ***Featuring*** Alex Clare AWOLNATION The Black Keys Grouplove Imagine Dragons The Lumineers Mumford & Sons Muse Passion Pit R.E.M.

So. Now it's November, huh? Well that means we have a new Best Alternative Album Grammy Winner to start poring over. And it's a good one. You'll see :) This is a fun one, you guys. Countdown #127 ***Featuring*** Alex Clare AWOLNATION The Black Keys fun. Imagine Dragons The Lumineers Mumford & Sons Muse Passion Pit R.E.M. Youngblood Hawke

Yeah, I ask for money for a cause on this one. But only like twice, so it's like you barely notice! :) It's a fun episode (as usual!) and I think you're going to enjoy it. Countdown #126 ***Featuring*** Alex Clare AWOLNATION The Black Keys fun. Imagine Dragons The Lumineers Mumford and Sons Muse Of Monsters and Men P.O.S Passion Pit

Haha it's the little milestones in life, isn't it? Whoa. Here's a weird thought. When I started this podcast, Matthew from Song by Toad was where I was, podcast-count-wise. That's pretty amazing to me, even if it means absolutely nothing to you :) Hope your Fall is going well and that you're enjoying the countdowns! Countdown #125 ***Featuring*** Alex Clare AWOLNATION The Black Keys fun. Imagine Dragons The Lumineers Mumford and Sons Muse Of Monsters and Men Passion Pit Sinéad O'Connor

Well, we're back on track this week and so I'm feeling very good about that :) Man, I love doing this countdown. Every time I listen to the American Top 40 reruns from the 70's, I feel like I'm listening to a colleague. By the way, a great birthday/Christmas gift for me would be a copy of the AT40 from my birthweek. Or something. I would love to have on demand access to them. But maybe they would lose some of their luster. Anyways, here's the show! Countdown #124 [...]

Sometimes, family comes first, you guys.....and, of course, it shouldn't come down to that if I was planning well....which I wasn't. But we all slip sometimes, right? .....Right? Anywho, the fall weather has taken a chilly turn and I am just LOVING it! Countdown #123 (see why the title?) ***Featuring*** Alex Clare AWOLNATION The Black Keys fun.
