Welcome to my first podcast as a member of the Association of Music Podcasting. I spend a little time in this show talking about why I joined and what I hope to accomplish by being a part of AMP. I hope my rambling doesn't bug you too much.

Most of tracks in this week's show are a bit less electronic than I usually like to play, but I think you'll enjoy what you hear regardless. Music is music, after all...

Playlist for Dave's Lounge #8:

1. delaware, "Everything Changes"
2. Machine Love, "Lower Transit"
3. Moosefrog "You Don't Know It Yet"
4. New Buffalo, "I've Got You and You've Got Me"

I'm taking next week off, as it's 4th of July weekend, but you'll definitely want to stay subscribed for the next podcast. Some great music is coming...

Enjoy the show!

You are on the Global Frequency. Dave's Lounge goes international this week, with music from Italy, Denmark, Great Britain and New Zealand.

It's the beginning of the month, and if you know anything about podcasting, you know what that means.

Dozens of podcasters are out there begging for votes on Podcast Alley, everyone's favorite podcast directory. I'd love to jump into the top 50 on Podcast Alley as much as the next podcaster, but I refuse to get on the mic and ask people to vote for me. The whole system reminds me too much of MP3.com's infamous Million-Dollar Download program, where they divided a million bucks a month among all the artists, and everyone begged for downloads -- not because their music was any good, but because they wanted to get paid. People did a lot of shady things to get downloads back then.

Of course, I wouldn't ask you not to vote for me, either, because being in the Top 50 on Podcast Alley is good publicity. In fact, if you enjoy the show, I would also encourage you to rate me at Podcast Pickle, another fine podcast directory. A fledgling podcast like this needs all the help it can get. Thanks.

Playlist for Dave's Lounge #5:

1. Slovo, "Whisper (Last Chance Remix)"
2. Dreaming Blue, "Eternia"
3. Gaia13, "Trail of Funk"
4. Love Spirals Downwards, "Psyche"

The Love Spirals Downwards track was requested by Brad McFadden of the Two Blind Squirrels podcast.
