In case you’re wondering…

Episode #35 will be out shortly, just not on Thursday night per usual.  Sometimes affairs of state come before affairs of state, as Mel Brooks once said.  Look for it this weekend, and stay tuned!

Pardon our appearance…

Pardon the changes on the site right now, particularly the sidebars. An update to WordPress has knocked out some of the content, and forced me to expose some of the underbelly of the site. renovations are in progress to rectify this.

Edit: Content restored through manual processes.  Anything you still can’t cope with is therefore your own problem.  Please relax.

Jack Black, one man A Cappella group?

To see a bit of looping and acappella in the mainstream, check out this commercial that Jack Black did for Nickelodeon!

Uh-oh!

I’d like to apologize to all the listeners of Episode 12 for the apparent technical difficults towards the end of the show. I’d like to make a big apology to APC Rhythm, because it seems like a large chunk of their track was lost to silence. I’d also like to apologize for the sudden loss of volume from my microphone, and the unfortunately large jump back at the last track. I turned my speakers up to compensate and nearly blew my head off with the return to normal.

I’m going to see if I can salvage this episode or re-record it, but it’ll be a few days before I can sit down and do that.

Website updates!

Well, in a fit of pique, I've overhauled The Acapodcast Website!  Be sure to let me know what you think.  In addition to the visual face lift, there's some new behind the scenes parts.  It ought to make it easier for me to put up new information here.  For starters, there is a new arrangement to the sidebar on the right, including a link to a contact form .  It's probably the easiest way to send me a message.  A few sharp eyed listeners have used it already !

Secondly, There's also a new calendar of events over there, where I will post concerts, competitions, and other dates of relevance to the A Cappella world.  Please, please send me any events you would like to have listed there!  Also send me links to be considered for inclusion in the new sidebar.

I would like to get a logo made for the show, so if you are an artist, or know an artist, drop me a line.

Let me know what else you would like to get from the website, and from the podcast.  I'm always open to new ideas and suggestions.
