In Revue

I really have no way in knowing how many people are subscribed to my monthly podcast via iTunes. It's possible that they're slipping under the radar of the casual reader. So I'll start making note of them here when they are released. The latest podcast was a really special one that included a sort of lost Wolfie (my old band) album in its entirety. 4 Track Rarities was an mp3-only album released in 2003 that was available on the old Wolfie website which has been offline for a while now. We're really not sure if we'll ever get it up and running again. However, I recovered all of the files and the artwork and packaged it up nice and pretty for you over on the podcast page. In addition, if there's any Wolfie fans out there interested in playing along, there's a myspace fan-site up and running here. It's the only Wolfie place on the web these days. So please go and join up, we could use some more friends!

Also close to my heart is the Mathlete mix podcast that I put together back in March. Mathlete was Dan Marsden and myself. Pretty much all of the programmed beats, synths and synthetic instrumentation that you hear happening in my songs these days got their start in my time with Mathlete. The podcast is my own personal greatest hits from Dan and my 2 full length CDs. The great thing about the Wolfie and Mathlete podcasts is that they aren't limited to just my songwriting. There are some Joe (Wolfie) and Dan (Mathlete) songs there that are real gems in my honest opinion.

And of course, how this whole podcast thing got started, my collections of unreleased songs, The Unreleases, is on vol. 2, with a 3rd currently in the works and set to drop early in May.

Thanks to those of you who've been listening along. I'm trying not to think too far in advance on this project and take it a month at a time. The archive of old songs is still thriving of stuff that is worth releasing this way so expect a steady stream of it for the time being.
