The Grind, Edition 007
Today I am joined by my first guest host Little G McLeod. Quite possibly the World's Youngest Podcaster. (Anyone know?)
For the second show in a row I neglected to mention who the heck I am. Oops. Hi I am your host Rob McLeod. Thats that now!

Edition 007 Show Notes
Wow what a great show! I really had a good time making it too. At least until Audacity started stuttering around 30 minutes into the show,arrrg. I ended up having to do some fancy footwork and digitial stiching to polish it off.

Todays featured artists are:

• AceFace
• Beau Dixon
• Dub Trinity
• Flook
  
  Other links featured in todays content:
• Fading Ways Records
  
• Skype

Edition 006 of The Daily Grind takes us on a visit to Fading Ways Records. Check out the FWR mission statement.

Listen to tracks from artists with material included in the FWR "Share" volumes of redistributable sample tracks.

We are joined for the first time by our new OHL/Ottawa 67's Roaming Correspondent Paul Nadon.

I managed to squeeze in a few websites but ended up skipping the Tech Tip of the Day due to time restrictions.

However, here is the podcasters Tip of the Day. Do not, Repeat, DO NOT lose your script halfway through a two day edit. You will end up sounding a wee bit silly as you announce things you later forget to do. Sort of like me!

For example. Oh yes ladies and gentlemen I'm your host Rob McLeod. Ya know, simple stuff.

Moving on. I announced in today's show my intention to change the name of the podcast to The Grind out of respect for a lad who infrequently podcasts out of the U.S. as The Daily Grind Coffee. His podcast started several months before mine. So as to avoid confusion between the two shows I am renaming my show The Grind (also freeing me up from my "calling the show 'Daily' but not airing it daily" guilt all in one fell swoop.Yaaa!)

Featured artists today are:

• Red Orkestra
• John Griffiths
• Neil Leyton (O.K. Neil isn't "featured" but is involved in most of the music presented today.)
• thee motion (Oops! I think I said The Emotion in the show)
• Jim Clements

  Related Links Neil Leyton is the subject of a recent interview about Creative Commons and Copyright Act changes in Canada available at creativecommons.org

  You can look forward to an interview with Neil Leyton and discussion about the Creative Commons, Copyleft and proposed chages to the Copyright Act in an upcoming edition of The Grind that will also feature more FWR releases.
  Until next time.

ARRRG!

I can't bring myself to archive this show offline yet.
Featured artists today are Irish and UK sensation: Flook This instrumental group is incredible. A reel sonic treat. Join me as we find out more about the band. Although I found some great pics of the band in concert I would encourage you to visit their website, buy some CD's perhaps and check out their roadtour pics so I don't have to rip off someones' great photos without permission. (though I'm working on it! Permission that is not stealing them.)

I want to send a great big thank you to "Doc" Johnson from celticcultures.com.

Finally a show with production levels I can live with. Surely the best sound quality yet of all the shows - and the quality of all future shows lets hope!.
To all of those people that got the first edition of #005 with the freaky audio, my apologies I didn't listen to the whole thing through after conversion and the multiple sample rates weirded out in Audacity.

I've got the whole studio well setup now and can start to crank out some more shows with much higher production value.

Just a note from the basement studios of the bovinefreepress.com to let you know that I have not gone off the air. Instead I have had a few technical problems that include the terminal expiration of my OS. Fun times last night doing a systems rebuild and restoring my backups. Now I'm really thankful for that external HD.

On a more positive note many of my old technical problems are resolved and I have several shows circling the outer markers like flights ready for landing.

Anyone who got a copy of show #005 - well if your copy works .. congratulations. For those of you suffering through the learning curve with me my aplogies I have now resolved the bug in Audacity using multiple sample rates. I hope.
Edition Five is in the presses now.

In a strange way its good to do a somputer system rebuild as it lets you clean everything up in a Spring Cleanupish sorta way. Unfortunately, my Mixcast Live is still a no go. Bummer.

More editions hot off the presses soon.
