The Acapodcast will be back on June 8th!

Posted by Chad Bergeron on May 28th, 2006

Your ever dedicated host is going to be on vacation this week, so I'm shifting the entire podcast back a week.

But I promise a spectacular Episode #10 on June 8th!  I'm lining up a super-sized show full of hot new music.

Let me know if you want your group to be a part of it, or if you have some ideas for the Epsiode 10 super-spectacular!

The Acapodcast #9, 5.18.06

Posted by Chad Bergeron on May 18th, 2006

Welcome to Show #9 of the Acapodcast! I've got a bunch of new groups coming to the show, and some of them are in this episode, along with some old favorites. Here's who is on this show:

Harmonytryx, a group of self-proclaimed delicious divas from the NY/NJ area, singing "His Mother's Legacy" off of their 2003 CD, Fine Whine
Hi Fidelity, who were on the last show, but are back again because they are this year's Harmony Sweepstakes Champions! They took Audience Favorite with the Addams Family routine, so here are the guys singing "They Go Wild/Why Do They Always Say No?", found on Almost Live
THEM from Tulane, with an excellent rendition of the old classic "Ain't No Sunshine"
The Blanks, also known as Ted's Band from the Hit TV Show, Scrubs! This is a quirky cover of the opening song from the show, "Superman". This is from their recent CD, Riding The Wave. Fame hasn't gone to their heads... they still reply to e-mail themsleves.
Sean Altman with a song called "I'm Waiting" from Seandemonium. He recently gave an interview over at Earvolution worth reading.
Harmonytryx once more, with a cover of an October Project song "Sunday Morning, Yellow Sky".

Thanks to all of you who have sent comments, suggestions, music, donations, good will, and new listeners my way. Art doesn't exist in a vacuum, so thanks for tuning in!

Show notes seem to have dissapeared. Let's at least get the track list up so people can see what's in the show.

Listen to show #8!

Show #8 will be LATE

Posted by Chad Bergeron on May 4th, 2006

This is just to let everyone know that due to some changes in my 'recording studio' my recording setup is all unplugged and scattered for a day or two, so this week's show will be late. I actually record from my office in the after-hours, but due to renovation work, the gear is all unplugged and packed at the moment. Thanks for bearing with me on this....

Even less a consumer, even more a producer...

Just in time for me to start putting this week's show together...

Last week my iPod died.  I had a 40GB black and white model that I sent back to apple twice for hard drive failures, both times under warrantee.  And now it has gone a third time, but outside of the window of opportunity.  Am I cursed?  It doesn't directly impact my ability to produce The Acapodcast, so that'll still be going out as usual, but it does mean I won't be able to review my work on during my commute.

I wouldn't normally do this, but I've gone ahead and put a PayPal donation button in the sidebar, if anyone would like to donate towards replacing the iPod.  As I've stated before, I don't make money on The Acapodcast.  It actually costs me quite a deal.  Any funds I do receive (less than a dollar a month at this point) I roll right back into the show, to cover hosting fees, or CD purchases, or gear, etc.  So thank you for any generosity you've shown, even if it was a kind word by e-mail.  (Especially if it is a kind word...  knowing that what I'm doing is appreciated means more than money)

Humbly,

-Chad
