W♥M Updates (June 2009)

I am working on a big article (it probably won't be done until Friday, probably). In the meantime, there's some exciting news coming up: the return of W♥M podcast! There will be at least six episodes before I get around to producing new contents.

I'm no longer endorsing Mypodcast.com, if you look at their forums, there's strong indications that the company is in a lot of trouble maintaining its servers. Garageband is surprisingly pretty good, I have moved Episode #12-32 to Garageband, so if you haven't heard them: check it out.

Also, if you visit news.weheartmusic.com, you may start seeing Google AdSense on the website. Nobody likes adverts, but that's just how things are. The good thing is that it's not terribly intrusive. I doubt I'll make any money for the W♥M fund, as we've all trained ourselves to ignore ads anyway.

What's coming up as far as review goes, which I'm excited about is: Gossip's Music For Men. I've previously fell in love with Beth Ditto's gospel-yet-boogie-dance version of "Careless Whisper". Their new album is pretty awesome. The full review will go live next week. In the meantime, I've picked out either "Pop Goes The World", "2012" or "Love and Let Love".

The craziest thing: Music For Men will be released digitally on June 23^rd, but the physical CD won't be available until... wait for it.... OCTOBER! I have never seen such a long wait for the CD version for a major release. Usually it's only a short month before the plastic discs comes in.
