Does anyone download these things?

not a single one.

The show's listening population has dropped since I can no longer post it on the WMWM website; and not a lot of people can sit through an hour download. But I am looking into other places to post this; and am even looking into doing something with iTunes. I talk with a lot of these band, from indies like TsuShiMaMiRe (who I've become online friends with and say they will be returning early next year) and melt-banana, to some of the big names like Puffy and Go!Go!7188; and they are always giving their thanks for playing them. Of course the larger names like Ayumi and AKG are harder to come in contact with, but I am already making my rounds to try and get a word in with them. And it also helps that some of the labels (i.e.: Benten, Tofu) and online sites like JapanFiles have given me their thanks, too.

I'll keep posting here until my friends and I can figure out the whole iTunes thing and such; and once that finally happens I'll let you know. (There are other J-POP podcast shows, too, on iTunes by people like me, so it shouldn't be a problem .)

Episode 54 is so random that it cannot be described in words.

REMEMBER: SUPPORT YOUR ARTISTS! BUY THEIR SONGS/ALBUMS!

I am going to use this thread as an excuse to never purchase music ever again, and I encourage everyone else to do the same.

Okay, so I haven't been posting my show here since I figured a lot of you weren't downloading it. However I wanted to share this episode since I know some of you are fans of detroit7. This has the interview I did with them (along with the ketchup mania one).

I already have a lot of these songs so I don't download but I do look at the listings.

I read the list. I don't download because all the stuff by the artists I would actually want to listen to is stuff I already have.

Sorry to bump and do shameless plugs, but....

I'm now webcasting the show live all over the world on [url]http://www.WMWMOnline.com[/url]. It's on Tuesdays from 9-noon.

We now return you to our regularly-scheduled banter .
