My New Favorite Podcast

I keep changing the list on the left column of this blog where I link to the podcasts I listen to.

I cut back a lot recently and have narrowed my listening to four or five podcasts at this point.

I keep checking out new ones and hope to add some more soon.

Until the past week, my favorite was Mass Hysteria. And I still listen to every new Mass Hysteria show the day it comes out. I can't get enough of that one.

But to be honest, I've got a new favorite. I called it Fred's Podcast and its shown on my podcasts list.

Fred's Podcast is a feed of mp3s that others have tagged with the delicious tag fred'spodcast.

Just this week, I've gotten two new mp3s added to this podcast/playlist;

Ben Bleecker - It'll Be Allright
Sven Van Hees - The Sun Goes Down

These two artists are basically unknown (at this point). Ben Bleecker doesn't have any music available on Amazon. And Sven Van Hees has a couple records on Amazon but not much activity around them.

So it's really cool that someone (maybe the artists themselves) are tagging these mp3s for me.

I manage this podcast/playlist in my iTunes program and delete a song every once in a while to keep the playlist manageable. I think I'll probably add my MP3 of the Week to this podcast tag each week.

The result is I have a playlist that has songs I like but is changing all the time. It's being programmed by people out on the Internet that I don't even know.

I love it.

UPDATE: Hans (who tagged the Sven Van Hees song) writes this on his blog:

In other news, the song I tagged with Fred Wilson's podcast tag got a special mention on his blog! It's amazing when you think of the way it ended up in his iPod. The cd was bought by my friend Michael. I ripped it onto my computer. Then I read this post, and thought what the hell, he likes Thievery Corporation, why not make him check it out. So I uploaded it onto my own webspace, and then tagged it with del.icio.us. Feedburner automatically scraps all new links with this tag, after which ipodder burns them onto Fred's iPod. It has left the web, many thousands of miles/kilometers away from it's previous physical location, the original cd (and me).

Thanks to the web, I made someone I barely know (and he doesn't know me at all) check out a song that I like. This is only one of the many entirely new forms of communication the web has brought us, and I'm very much excited about what's going to happen in the coming years, as the web keeps on expanding and revolutionizing the way we look at the world. Every connected individual now has more access to more information on many more subjects and events than the entire world ever had, barely, say, 150 years ago. My mind is connected with the sum of all human knowledge.

And with this thought in mind, i'm going to bed.

I think you have hit on the future of "tape screening" for A&R reps in the music biz. They used to have to weed thru mountains of demo tapes; now new bands could submit to A&R reps by tagging mp3's to their podcasts. And then it would take the A&R rep far less time to quickly delete 999 out of every 1000 inbound submissions! Very cool.

Sven Van Hees is actually a rather well-known Belgian DJ. Of course, he's probably pretty much unknown in the States :)
The song I uploaded comes straight from his brand new album, Synesthesia, which is very good.
By the way, I think there are still very few people who have used your fred'spodcast tag. With the amount of readers this blog has, I would've expected more, especially since this is already your third post on the subject.
Then again, causing your iPod to crash because 10,000 songs are simultaneously trying to upload themselves to it is not very desirable either.

Personally, I think Sven Van Hees' previous album (titled "Gemini") is the best. All the songs are the the same downtempo groovy style like the sun goes down (from "Synesthesia", which actually is a rather experimental album).
Oh, btw, Hans, (see comment above) you should thank me for that album - it's not like you bought it, eh? ;).
Synethesia was released just last week. If you want to know more about belgian electronic music, visit www.stubru.be (it's a radio station, but nothing like american stations, i assure you.) More great loungy grooves: St. Germain (which is French), Kruder & Dorfmeister (www.kruderdorfmeister.com), ... I'll 'fredcast' you some! (After my exams today!:)

Okay - there are some upsides to digital music. I only hope that when you get home, and have a moment, you break out the good stuff.

*sigh* You know, I've avoided the whole podcasting thing for the specific reason that it has the word "pod" in it. I'm not a huge fan of the iPod. Not because I think it's a bad device, but merely because it's a tad too trendy. I oft shudder when I see those tell-tale white wires and ear buds poking out of jeans pockets... but I digress.

Fred your update to this post with what Hans added made me perk up and take notice.

"Thanks to the web, I made someone I barely know (and he doesn't know me at all) check out a song that I like."

That hooked me, I've listened to a few podcasts now... and I like this format! Oh, and I think I want an iPod too.
