Saturday's show started out normal as it does most weeks. I did an interview with Death to the Throne which was pretty great. Hearing him talk about his love of music, his remix career so far which now includes getting paid $500 to do the Noah and the Whale remix, and admiting that his Daft Punk remix was actually an original track that he later threw DP vox over as a way to get the blogosphere temperature on his own productions, it was very revealing and I look forward to hearing more from the guy.
A little later on I had an impromptu phoner with Dean from True Panther (home to Girls, Tanlines, Glasser, Rainbow Bridge and others) as he was getting his drink on in an NYC sushi bar with members of all those forementioned bands (with the exception of Girls). It was loud, it was chaotic and I'm not sure a whole lot of substance came from it other than Cameron of Glasser saying she'd love to do a real interview on the show and Dean letting it slip that Girls are coming to SLC likely Nov or Jan (by the look of the current Girls dated I'd bet Jan, Nov is pretty booked).
You can listen to a rebroadcast of the entire show anytime for the next two weeks right here.

hi there
please can you remove the 320 version of GRUM's heartbeats from your blog.
this is his manager,and we've only allowed the 128 to be blogged so far. if you could email me on sarah@thejockeyclub.biz to confirm this is ok, that'd be great.
cheers,
Sarah
I would have been happy to swap out the 320 for a 128, you could have sent that with your request, but...
I see you took the liberty of having my hosting account suspended. Thanks for that.
It will be back soon, coverage of GRUM will not. The only people who give a shit about GRUM right now are Memory Tapes fans. Doing something like trying to get my hosting account deactivated does nothing for your band. It ruins blogging and music and I assure you other bloggers out there will know what kind of people are behind grum.
Hi,
This is Kevin from Grum's label. I'm sorry you have taken this view on Grum. We always appreciate it when people say nice things about our music but please can you put some contact info on your site so that people like us that invest money into acts like Grum can ask you to take stuff down when we don't want it distributed for free? I think that if you made it easy to contact you there would be no need to resort to more extreme measures such as contacting your hosting provider.
Kevin, Sarah, my email address is on the site. I'm hearing rumor that this is a favorite tactic of yours; getting hosting suspended. It's low.
It is an over the top step to take over a bitrate issue. It is also selfish, I covered grum because of Memory Tapes --I didn't even post the original song. So yes you take the step to ruin my blog which ruins my day and all the hours, the months and months worth of work I have put into this site which only exists as a way to get the names of bands out there that I am into. Some hosts are stricter than others, you seem not to care that your action OVER ONE SONG could have ruined this blog!
You are looking out for your one artist --one song from that artist; a remix!-- and not considering the reprocussions that has on me or the thousands of other artists covered here.
That's so whack. I've never been to this blog and don't know the author but it took me half a second to find his email and his twitter info in the column on the right. Never heard of GRUM but I love Memory Tapes and I would have definitely checked out the remix but it seems like GRUM and their manager are playing lame music biz execs like kids play house so I think I'll pass. It's 2009, if LiquidHeaven had the 320 it's out there you can't stop it. If the song is spreading around at any bit rate that is GREAT for your music. That's how you get fans. This is how you make yourselves seem like douche bags. Too bad because if Memory Tapes took the time to remix it I imagine your music is at least pretty interesting.
Hi Lloyd,
Just to be clear, Liquid Heaven have only recently added their details to this site.
I understand that everyone has a different view on mp3 blogs and the free distribution of music but in this case we are copyright owners and I would ask people to respect our wishes!
Yeah Lloyd I added the email back after this situation and I find it annoying. Every band or label should be on twitter, matter of fact TWO people related to grum found me on twitter but that somehow was not a good enough contact method?
In addition to that sarah left the first message on my blog and within 4 hours my hosting was pulled. It's not like Sarah would have waited for me to return her email. It's a bullshit excuse and sarah knows it. If I didn't respond to the comment within 4 hours what makes you think I'd have gotten to the email? It all goes to my inbox; an email a comment --whatever. 4 hours is not enough notice.
So Memory Tapes is sharing the remix free on his blog. I guess you're cool with that? Shouldn't you get the media fire link shut down?
