That’s right, Semisonic’s drummer Jacob Slichter will be joining us on Wednesday, 28th September at 8pm GMT to talk big label deals, music, and about his book, So, You Wanna Be a Rock and Roll Star.  It’s a great book, and it was reading it over my transatlantic flights in August that prompted me to seek him out to talk to him more about the journey from playing music in his basement to selling out stadiums and selling two million records.

Jacob Slichter

Join on on Wednesday – LIVE right here or on Recharged Radio.

See you then!

PS:  I couldn’t believe that in the space of two weeks I got to interview both Martin Sexton AND Jacob Slichter!  Who’s next?

Had a computer virus this weekend, a bad one.  just barely got the studio computer back up and running before Wednesday’s live show.  I’ll get the podcasts n’such back on track ASAP.

Stick with us, don’t worry.  We’re ok!  We survived!

~JW and Stu (the studio computer)

We do have a fabulous Track of the Week from Mr. Twist… it ended up the first track I heard off the album when they sent it to me, but it’s the last on the actual record.  A great tune, “Start Again” makes me want to do exactly that, start the album over again.  Grab a download of their current released single (that we also play on the show) on their website at mrtwistband.com.

Here’s the rest of the (much shorter) playlist!  Keep it locked on the website for the auxiliary podcasts that will come off of hour two of the live broadcast.

The Justin Wayne Show Episode 105: Back to the Future

Keep rolling in the messages for new side-podcasts and extra content popping up in the coming weeks.

Cheers,

I’m beginning to gather phone/mp3 adverts for my Musical Trading Post coming up in the next few weeks.  If you’ve got a new single, album, or other indie music service you’d like to promote please give us a ring and leave a message on US Number (+1): 646-495-9244 Extension: 10523.  (It’s in the sidebar if you forget.)  You’re also welcome to email mp3s to jw (at) thejustinwayneshow (dot) com.

Just do a phone recording of 30 seconds in length including:

• Who you are
• What you’re promoting
• How we can contact you

…and we’ll get those on the show pronto!

Anyway, on with the show… almost 30 songs this week!  Remember, next week’s regular podcast is only an hour long, with auxiliary podcasts to download as well.  Have a look around the website and grab some more audio if you need it!

Our first interview is with Wayne Doyle from the band V0iD who speaks to us about how a band can stay together for 10 years(!), the difference between US fans and UK fans, V0iD‘s double guitar sound, and more.

Also in this episode we get to hear a very interesting story from the likes of Stephen Dale Petit.  This blues guitar supremo (his PR company used that word and I think it fits perfectly) enlightens us on his quick trip to fame back in the late 70s, his fallout, and then his road back into the recording studio via busking – performing in London’s Underground rail network.  Funding his first record back with proceeds from the busking, he’s just released his second record “The Crave.”  We hear three tunes from the album, a story about a car ride with Ronnie Wood and Eric Clapton (in song and in story), and he tell us how he gets his perfect guitar tone for performances and recordings.  Great stuff here!

I also snuck in one more special thing before my holiday…

Matt Stevens, a guitar supremo in his own right,  just created a tune for free that you can download from his Bandcamp page.  A friend of his, Dan Wilson, passed away recently.  He was a great filmmaker and Matt’s not only allowed the song to be downloaded for free, but has sent me some links to Dan’s film work.  Have a look:

• http://www.atom.com/funny_videos/daddys_little_helper/
• http://www.clicker.com/web/films-on-l/-Section-44-by-Daniel-Wilson-466278/

A big “thank you” to Matt for sharing that with the world and our best wishes to all of those surrounding Dan in their time of need.

That’s me for now.  The playlist…

The Justin Wayne Show Episode 102: Stephen Dale Petit and V0iD

Thanks guys!  I’ve got some great stuff lined up for you whilst I’m on holiday!

(I just said “whilst”.  Time to take a break from Britain…)

Take care,

JW

First, we have Paper Garden Records founder Bryan Vaughn who’s brought along a bunch of tracks from his label and talks candidly about the new music industry, 360 deals, and what they do when they sign artists.  With their roster growing from 3 to 12 bands in the last year, Bryan’s got some weight in his words!

Also, we’ve got the Little London Fields Festival coming up on Saturday and to highlight the occasion Alex and Lawrence Daw – brothers and the organisers of the festival – join us to tell us all about it and give away a free set of BACKSTAGE PASSES!! They’re also giving away regular tickets to the show… all of them in fact… as the festival itself is FREE!

(At the time of this writing the backstage passes are still up for grabs!  Comment on this post or email me jw <at> thejustinwayneshow.com to win!!)

Cool, huh?  I think so, so I’m gonna be heading down there with my journalist friends Candice Ashby (from ceashby.wordpress.com) and Kim Sklinar of NeverEnoughNotes.co.uk.   Yeah, I have cool friends, why don’t you come meet them in London Fields?  Give us an @justinwayneshow tweet and we’ll find you… I’ll either be listening to tunes or eating…

We’ve got loads of people to thank – which we do inside the show.  We’ve also got some important news in the show that you’ll want to hear… and we’ll illuminate more of it next week too.

We’ve got a review of the last 2 and 1/2 years of opening jingles to the show, as well as visits from many podcast/broadcast friends from around the world.  We are also re-airing a Ryan in the Ring, which still makes me laugh.

I won’t go into too much detail now, you’ll just have to listen and we’ll chat more about it next week.  As for now, I’ll give you the music playlist…

The Association of Music Podcasting’s “AMPed New Music Weekly”

And yes, apologies to the live broadcast listeners of this show – or those who tried to listen – as there were problems down the line.  However, I can nearly guarantee that next week’s Episode 100 will go off without a hitch as it will be broadcast from Maple Street Studios as I sort out Savoy Studio’s internet broadcasting capabilities.

Track of the Week this week comes to us from the extremely talented band Brave Chandeliers.  They had just sent me their song “Madmen” and notified me that it was available for free download from their website BraveChandeliers.com and after hearing it it instantly became TOTW.  Great stuff guys.

As for the rest of the playlist…

The Justin Wayne Show Episode 99: Junebug’s Modern Day Fairy Tales

That’s it!  See you on Wednesday (or thereafter you podcast crazies) for Episode 100!!

Larry Fulcher

That’s right, we’re having another go at episode 98 with a very special guest, Larry Fulcher.  We’ve also got a very interesting synth-pop Track of the Week from the band Different Frequencies (more info on them is on their label’s site Unpopular Music.)

Shall we tell you a bit more about Larry?

Larry was born in Houston, Texas and soon began his musical career singing in church at the tender age of five. At age thirteen, Larry moved to Southern California and began playing in bands at fifteen.  Then, Larry went on to record with Smokey Robinson and The Crusaders and during the eighties toured and recorded (keyboards and guitar) with many reggae artists including The Wailers, Third World and Andrew Tosh. He was also a featured vocalist on the Emmy Award winning ABC-TV series, ‘I’ll Fly Away’ and won a Grammy and W.C. Handy Award for his work with Taj Mahal.

And that’s just the start of it… we’ve got an hour with Larry on the show so… have a listen!  Here’s what else we’ve got:
