Vincent Black Shadow's Ciaran Green, David Hege, and Jon Joye came to jam. The songs are interesting, lush and have dynamics. This is what can happen when musicians are determined to listen to each other. All live, interplay is the order of the day. www.myspace.com/vincentblackshadows

Frankly, I am inclined at this time to book anyone without passing judgment on a CD. I have not gotten to point where I think I should “audition? guests. I would prefer to think that I am just providing an opportunity for a variety of artists to make their art available to a wider audience. There will come a time when there are more people trying to get on the show than we have slots. I expect I will have to be more selective then, but I hope I do not set myself up as a judge between competing performers. I choose to present material that might be more challenging for some and I want to take chances. I intend to respect my audience to come to their own conclusions in full knowledge that there may be shows they like and those they don’t. Feedback welcome. I am trying to recruit artists who’s work I respect, but I do not need to be like a club booker that is dependent on trying to decide who will be the more profitable act to book. I am pursuing sponsorship, grants, or commercials to get some income to support the effort, but I do not want to become some kind of new radio station clone, hit repeater, or American Idol bullshit anti-art money machine. That may be a bit highhanded, but that is how I think this new media should be used and there is an audience for this point of view. Thanks. I had been thinking about this and had not really put it into words yet. Please excuse the rant, unless you have something to add.
