New Music
I went and bought a few new CD’s at CD Baby a few nights ago and it arrived today. I got turned onto CD Baby by the Podcasting community since it’s a good place for independent (Pod-safe) music. Actually, I still don’t think most of it is Pod-safe. You probably have to get artist permission to play it in a podcast. Since I don’t have a Podcast, this doesn’t affect me now does it?!
Anyway, I picked up two Michelle Malone CD’s, Homegrown and Stompin’ Ground. I first heard about Michelle listening to Dave Slusher’s Evil Genius Chronicles. Next up is Passing by Cliff Knizley. Finally, I got More by Nathan Paine.
Golly that was a lot of hyperlinking!
I listened to parts of Stompin’ Ground and it totally rocked. I’m listening to 1 Cent Candy by Bill Sheffield now and I’m definitely liking what I hear.
To keep track of all this new music, I created another Smart Playlist in iTunes. Since I have such a well-defined playlist identifying new podcasts, I created a new Smart Playlist called “New Music” like so:
Now I can pop this in and hear the new music in my collection over and over. I also just learned about the “Checked Songs” feature in iTunes. You can check or uncheck every song in your collection. It’s a quick way of basically excluding certain songs. So, in my new “New Music” Smart Playlist, I can unckeck songs that I’d rather not hear and I don’t have to make my Smart Playlist complicated to accomplish that.
Now playing: Bill Sheffield - Hey Romeo
