ihearanewworld's Podcast

I have been researching alternative methods for recording these vinyl podcasts, but I am unable to get this to work by running an RCA jack from my tape deck's line-out to my Olympus digital recorder. I had recorded an entire podcast last week that came out sounding over amplified and distorted.

Since last week's recording didn't turn out well, I have decided to re-record the same songs for tonight's podcast using the method I had been using before. If anyone would like to help me purchase some new equipment or a Pro package with Podomatic to improve the sound of these podcasts it would be greatly appreciated.

Artists featured on this edition of the podcast include Sandy Bull, Pink Floyd, Ornette Coleman and Cate Le Bon. I would like to dedicate this podcast to the the listeners and readers out there who continue to support me through good times and bad times.

Please let me know what you think of this edition of I Hear a New World.

Timbuktunes, Portland's premier record store dedicated primarily to international music. has been forced to close its doors. I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the proprietor Andy for fighting the good fight as long as he could muster it. Since the store could no longer afford to keep operations going, Andy decided to make it's final day of business on New Year's Eve. During it's last week of operation, I paid a visit to Timbuktunes and purchased a stack of CD's ranging from afrobeat and Angola prison worksongs to global psychedelic funk and Bollywood pop.

This podcast is dedicated to Timbuktunes and it's proprietor Andy, and it features a mix of songs from the CD's I purchased during that store's last week of business. I wish the best for Andy and I hope that he is able to pursue some other musical venture that warms his spirit in the future.

I would love to hear what you think of this week's podcast, so please give me a shout in the comments.

This episode of I Hear a New World features a diverse mix of new and used vinyl that I have picked up recently at the Night Owl Record Show and Exiled Records over the past month.

Since I have been buying a lot of international music lately, it leans heavily towards this style with a considerable dollop of funk, jazz, spoken work and psychedelic garage rock to even out the flow.

Bands featured include Eddie Harris, Erkin Koray, Thee Oh Sees, Ahmad Zahir and Los Destellos.

Since I have been purhcasing a lot more vinyl than CD's lately, I figured it was the perfect time to do another Stacks of Wax podcast.

This episode of Stacks of Wax runs the gamut from psychedelic garage rock to trance-inducing Ethiopian soul. Some of the bands showcased on this podcast include Thee Oh Sees, The Fresh and Onlys, Bobby Rush, Getactchew Mekurya and Stark Reality.

Over the past year, I have been primarily taking songs from my vinyl collection to compile the podcasts and using an Olympus portable recorder to do this. The sound quality of these podcasts has been sort of lackluster since the microphone input isn't plugged directly into the stereo source. Because of this, I have decided to start doing podcasts compiling songs from my extensive digital library for awhile. I will return to the Stacks of Wax format as I purchase more vinyl and have new things to share.

This edition of I Hear a New World contains music from Jack Rose, Califone, The Heptones and The Last Poets.

Please check http://eclectic-grooves.blogspot.com/ for a complete tracklist of this edition of I Hear a New World.

This podcast largely focuses on the records that I pickd up at this year's Record Store Day. Even though Record Store Day has been going on for four years now, this was the first time that I was actually able to attend. Among the gems that I was able to snag are new 7 inches from Deerhunter and Lower Dens, full lengths from Sonic Youth and Akron Family and many other limited pressings recorded with Record Store Day in mind. To round out the sound, I have included a couple of other reords that weren't Record Store Day purchases.

Since I have been poring over the seemingly endless lists of albums released throughout 2010, I figured that I would provide you with a preview of some of the albums that will most likely be featured in my "Best Albums of 2010" list.

Last year I was rushing against the clock to complete my Halloween podcast before the clock struck midnight on All Hallows Eve. After learning my lesson from this, I began compiling my list of possible songs that could make the cut for this years mix. These songs were culled from my own collection, Soulseek users and the numerous Halloween blogs and forums across the internet. Without the help of these sources, it would have been much more difficut for me to finish this mix on time.

Considering my tendency to strive towards perfection, finishing this mix before Halloween has meant spending hours painstakingly crafting a two-part mix of the most bone-chilling music that I could possibly find. Please note that in order to prevent from scaring all of my listeners stiff, I have thrown in some light-hearted Halloween tunes from genres such as rockabilly, doo-wop and soul to balance out the tone. I hope that this mix finds you well and provides the perfect soundtrack to the haunted house of your mind.

Mu-wa-ha-ha-ha!!
