Mon, 7 September 2009 If you're hearing this message, that means you're probably subscribing to the Feedburner RSS feed for Dave's Lounge. Unfortunately, something broke between Feedburner and Bluehost last week, and because of that, I've decided to stop using Feedburner as the official feed for Dave's Lounge. So if you want to continue listening to Dave's Lounge, please subscribe to the new official feed, which is: http://www.daveslounge.com/feed I apologize for the confusion, and I hope you'll continue visiting Dave's Lounge in the future. Thanks. Comments[9] |
Tue, 20 March 2007 I have moved the Dave's Lounge web site from this Liberated Syndication page to a new Wordpress-based site with an updated look and some extra functionality. Please visit www.daveslounge.com to hear the latest podcasts. Category: general -- posted at: 10:32 PM |
Mon, 26 February 2007 I've made a little progress on the Wordpress installation -- and a big thank you goes out to Evgeniy Kaschenko and everyone else who emailed to help -- but I haven't had a chance to work on it this weekend, as I hosted my first Wii party on Friday, which was a huge success, and spent the rest of the weekend either sleeping it off or working on other web sites. In the meantime, I've decided to point the daveslounge.com home page directly to the old Liberated Syndication page, which should let me work on the new site in the background. It will also let me put together the next show in the meantime. I hope to have the new site ready in the next week or two. Thanks for being patient with me, folks.

Tue, 20 February 2007 Folks, I've been busy putting together the new Wordpress-based Dave's Lounge web site since the weekend, so I haven't been able to put a show together this week. At some point in the next few days I plan to move the site onto its new platform, and it will probably be a little messy for a few days. Trust me, though -- it'll be worth it when it's done. Further announcements are forthcoming... Category: general -- posted at: 10:00 PM Comments[10] |
Tue, 5 December 2006 Folks, I know you're all waiting for a new show, and I apologize for making you wait so long yet again, but I am really backed up right now, and I didn't want to put together a subpar show, and that's exactly what the show I was trying to make tonight would have been. Give me a little more time. I will try to get this train back on its tracks very soon... Category: general -- posted at: 9:58 PM Comments[3] |
Tue, 21 November 2006 Just a heads-up to everyone waiting for Dave's Lounge #66... I've decided to wait until Friday to record this week's show, as I have that day off and can dedicate a little more time to it. It will be a little bit longer than usual, too, as I'm taking next week off. I usually record on Tuesday nights, but next Tuesday is my birthday. If you've emailed me in the last week or two, sit tight. I've fallen behind in my correspondence yet again, but I plan to respond to everyone very soon.

Tue, 24 October 2006 Just FYI: Episode #62 is completed, but I'm having trouble uploading it to LibSyn's server this evening. After some testing, it appears to be a problem on my end. I'll try to get it uploaded as soon as possible... Category: general -- posted at: 11:22 PM Comments[4] |
Mon, 16 October 2006 So I came back from an out-of-town road trip today, and I had planned to settle in, finish re-installing all my audio software, and put together the next show. When I got home this afternoon, I found my parents in my house. They were rearranging furniture. All my computer equipment was scattered everywhere... That said, this is a temporary state, and I will do everything in my power to get a show out this week. That's a promise to all of you out there who faithfully stayed subscribed during this unexpected lull in the show. Dave's Lounge is still open. Keep an eye out for Show #61 later this week.

Mon, 9 October 2006 Folks, My new laptop crashed today. Something went horribly wrong, the system files got corrupted, and I have no idea how to fix it -- or whether or not it can even be fixed without wiping out everything on the hard drive already. So it may be a few more weeks before I can get a new episode of Dave's Lounge out to everyone. Sorry about this, folks. I promise that I'll be back with a new show as soon as I can. -Dave Category: general -- posted at: 2:40 PM Comments[8] |
Tue, 3 October 2006 Sorry, folks. The furntiure's getting rearranged around the house this week, and my audio equipment is scattered everywhere, so I won't be able to do a show this week. I'm trying as hard as I can to keep up with everything right now, and I will try harder to get #61 ready for everyone soon. Incidentally, I got a note from Cling, the band that led off Dave's Lounge #59, and they inform me that eMusic has been pretty good to them: See you are an affiliate of eMusic as well, we actually made more by giving
our tunes away (so to speak) via eMusic than we would have made if we had sold
them normally, the music business has become a little crazy. So if any of you were wondering whether or not eMusic was a good deal for the artists, too, that should answer your question. Category: general -- posted at: 9:49 AM Comments[3] |
Sun, 20 August 2006 I got an email from Natalie Walker last week which included a correction from Dave's Lounge #56: "Faith" was
actually written and produced by stuhr as well. It was originally going
to go on DD's sophomore project, but it became the spark that ignited
the fire between the Stuhr boys and I. The truth is that Travis, Steve
and I never produced anything for the second album (this is why I went
solo). Category: general -- posted at: 4:41 PM Comments[4] |
Tue, 4 July 2006 Just to let everyone know, I'm way behind on all things podcast-related right now. I've got lots of music submissions to listen to and lots of emails to reply to, and I do plan on getting to these things very soon. Don't go anywhere. I'll be back before you know it... Category: general -- posted at: 8:16 PM Comments[2] |
Tue, 20 June 2006 Dave's Lounge #50 is going to be a little bit later than I had planned, in part because I spent a good chunk of tonight here. North Carolina doesn't win pro sports championships very often. In fact, up until last night, it had never won a pro sports championship. I would have felt bad not going to the party... On top of that, I've been planning a trip to Virginia Beach this weekend, so the #50 might not be done until next week. It's partially done, though, and still in the works, so don't go anywhere. Dave's Lounge is still open for you, and there's some great music in the next show. As those placards on the Tonight Show used to say, more to come...

Thu, 15 June 2006 I have received emails from people saying that they cannot reach this site through daveslounge.com. As I understand it, Liberated Syndication had some DNS issues, but they appear to be fixed now. If you're still unable to reach this site via daveslounge.com, then the DNS info has not propagated to your area yet. Give it time. It should sort itself out soon. As far as I can tell, this does not affect people subscribed to the iTunes feed. Also, I am fully aware of the mess that is Permanent4.com right now, as I made that mess myself. I will attempt to fix this later today, but it will probably be the weekend before the whole thing is sorted out... Category: general -- posted at: 10:26 AM Comments[0] |
Mon, 5 June 2006 I apologize for the delay on this one. My new laptop arrived over the weekend, and I'm still trying to get all my audio hardware and software set up on it. As you can see in the background, I've also got a new audio interface, so if my voice sounds a little different on the next show, you'll know why. Also, if you've emailed me in the last week -- especially about the web design -- and I haven't gotten back to you yet, sit tight. I do intend to respond to everyone soon. In the meantime, I've noticed that iTunes sales have jumped a bit since the last show. What songs are people picking up out there? Category: general -- posted at: 11:42 PM Comments[5] |
Tue, 7 March 2006 Okay, so the Dave's Lounge Shop is down again today. Several graphics on my page are 404 as well. I'm seeing posts on LibSyn's support forum from people asking why their podcasts aren't showing up on their feed. I'm also hearing very little from LibSyn beyond a cursory, "We're moving things around as best we can, so bear with us." It's better than nothing, but it still feels a little sketchy. Clearly, their latest hardware upgrade is breaking things left and right. For this reason, I'm going to push Dave's Lounge #39 back a week to give the LibSyn guys some time to get their house in order. I want to be sure the Shop is open for next week's show, because there are a couple of songs from this show that you will want to buy. In the meantime, I'd like to ask a small favor of you, my dear listeners. I've gone into iTunes and created some iMixes of songs that have appeared on Dave's Lounge. I'd really appreciate it if you would go into iTunes and rate those mixes. If you'd like to buy some of them, too, that would be great, but just rating them would be enough for now. I'm attempting to see if I can use these iMixes as a promotional tool for the podcast itself. Here are the iMixes:
Thanks for bearing with me, folks. Don't go anywhere. More great new music is on the way... Category: general -- posted at: 12:30 PM Comments[5] |
Mon, 6 March 2006 Libsyn appears to have changed some of their internal workings and redirects and such, and it's broken the Dave's Lounge Shop. It's also broken the header images. I may not be able to fix this until tonight. Sit tight, everyone. Update (5:45 PM): It looks like the fix is out of my hands. Libsyn is doing all the redirecting, so the problem is on their end. I've put in a support ticket for this, but it may take some time before it's resolved... Update (8:00 PM): Looks like everything is working again. Feel free to go buy CDs to your heart's content.

Mon, 14 November 2005 I'm interested in finding out more information about you, my dear listeners. So I'd really appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to fill out the Dave's Lounge Listener Survey. Click on the box marked "Take 5" on the right-hand column of this web page, or just click here. This will help me taylor the show a bit more to your needs. Thanks!

Tue, 25 October 2005 Sorry, folks. Things have been busy in my life this week, and as a result, I haven't had time to put a show together. Stay subscribed, though. I'll get something out to everyone next week...

Wed, 24 August 2005 There appears to be something amiss with my RSS feed at the moment, which is why you probably haven't received Dave's Lounge #16 yet -- a rather unfortunate bit of timing, given the big announcement in this week's show. I have contacted Liberated Syndication about this matter. Hopefully, this will be resolved shortly...
UPDATE (10:40 PM): Okay, the feed should be working properly now. I think we figured out what the problem was, so I'll be sure not to duplicate the conditions that caused that problem any time soon. Category: general -- posted at: 8:10 PM Comments[3] |
Mon, 22 August 2005 I am pleased to announce the opening of the new Dave's Lounge Shop, powered by CD Baby and iTunes. Here you will be able to purchase CDs and iTunes downloads from artists whose music has been featured on the Dave's Lounge podcast. By purchasing music through the Dave's Lounge Shop, you'll help support quality independent music, and you'll help keep Dave's Lounge ad-free. For more information, visit www.davesloungeshop.com. I plan to make a special announcement about the shop in Dave's Lounge #16, which will be released on Wednesday, so stay subscribed for more info...

Tue, 26 July 2005 It's official! Dave's Lounge has been accepted into the iTunes Affiliate Program. This means that when you click on an iTunes link in the show notes and purchase that song, I will receive a 5% commission for the sale. This supports the artists your hear on Dave's Lounge, and it keeps this podcast free of those annoying advertisements. Here's a quick list of songs previously played on Dave's Lounge that are available now through iTunes. Click on those links to purchase them:
At the present time, there is an issue with Artemis' CDs in iTunes. Hopefully, this will be worked out soon... Category: general -- posted at: 8:00 PM Comments[5] |
Sat, 9 July 2005 I'm having a few issues with redesigning the template at the moment. This may take a few days to work out, so please be patient with me.
UPDATE (11:10 AM): As you can see, I've cleaned things up a bit this morning. The design isn't quite how I would like it, but it's readable, which is good enough for me for now. I'll be beating on the Libsyn templates again in the near future, though... Category: general -- posted at: 2:00 AM Comments[4] |
Wed, 18 May 2005 Just a quick note to all 52 of my loyal subscribers, who may have their own deck of playing cards soon... I've got a busy weekend ahead of me, and I'm afraid I won't have the time to sit down and crank out Dave's Lounge #4 this week. Stay subscribed, though, and I'll have a new show ready for you soon. In the meantime, if you haven't already done so, please vote for Dave's Lounge at Podcast Alley. (I'm really trying to avoid begging for votes on the show itself, because too many other podcasters do it, and it gets old really quickly, but a few extra votes would do a lot to help this show find more than 52 subscribers. Talk about narrowcasting, eh?) Thanks for listening. As those placards on The Tonight Show used to say, "More to come..." Category: general -- posted at: 3:22 PM Comments[6] |
