KCRW & FILTER PRESENTS
Rob Dickinson (Catherine Wheel) CD Release Party!

Set Times
Doors @ 8:30pm
The Daylights @ 9pm
Rob Dickinson @ 10pm

One of my favorite musicians on the planet, Rob Dickinson, The former Catherine Wheel frontman, still remains one of the most criminally overlooked forces in music. Many will recall Britain's Catherine Wheel as one of the most range-roaming, seminal and viscerally intense alternative rock bands of the '90's: "Eat my dust, you insensitive fuck," purred silky vocalist Rob Dickinson on the band's 1994 release HappyDays.

Dickinson is re-releasing his debut solo album, Fresh Wine For The Horses, which will come as a two-disc set with the Nude EP on June 10. The album itself will come with the brand new song, "The End Of The World," which is classic Rob.

The second disc is a six track EP of freshly recorded Catherine Wheel classics that you will get to hear in their acoustic glory. He still remains one of the most criminally overlooked forces in music, but perhaps 2008 will bring him the recognition that he deserves.

********************************************

The Daylights did 20+ dates with OneRepublic earlier this year and plan on going back out on the road this summer/fall. There music has been placed in video games, movies, commercials, TV shows, etc. They have been signed to a major but are now a free agent. They are a 3-piece band and have a range of influences from U2 to Radiohead to Coldplay to being just as much inspired by the literary greats (Steinbeck, Rilke and Dostoyevsky).

Other great news is that The Daylights are being featured in the Miller Highlife rewards program. You can find codes on over 40 million Miller cases that give you access to free songs and more. So buy Miller High Life and get free Daylights songs...yeah!

And their songs are also being featured with The Hotel Indigo Group, which means you'll be able to hear a few of their tunes at the following hotels: Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Hotel Indigo, InterContinental, Crowne Plaza, Staybridge Suites, Candlewood Suites, etc.

Michael Johns on American Idol

I played a Michael Johns song in February 2005 on Podcast #5 called "Statues" but at that time his band was called The Rising. The band signed to Maverick in 2001 but their debut album, Future Unknown, was never released. Now you can listen to The Rising and buy the album on iTunes.

In October 2006 Michael Johns released his self-titled debut solo album that is best described as "rock with soul" independently. It used to be available for purchase on iTunes but has since been taken down.

Johns auditioned for American Idol in San Diego and is now one of the Top 11 finalists. Watch Michael sing Bohemian Rhapsody below. Cowell honored him with the "best audition of the day" and Seacrest "potentially the best so far", which was the most positive feedback at this stage in the game ever received.



His top 24 performance of Light My Fire earned him praise as a "true legend rock performer" when Jackson compared him to Michael Hutchence and Cowell added that he has the "natural charisma of a lead singer".



Watch his top 16 performance of Don't You (Forget About Me) by Simple Minds.



Watch his top 12 performance of Across the Universe by The Beatles.



Be sure to tune in and watch Michael Johns on American Idol Tuesday night. He will light the place on fire and make you want to dust off that treadmill!

Mailing List + Podcast #23 Remixed

My mailing list has been full for the past 2 months. I just found an new provider that doesn't cost an arm & a leg. If you have tried to join the mailing list in the past and couldn't, try to join now.

Also I improperly mixed Podcast #23 so that the audio was coming out of one speaker and the music out of the other. I fixed the problem and remixed it. I posted the new version of Podcast #23 on 12/11. If you downloaded my podcast before 12/11 then go download it again. If you didn't notice that the podcast was only coming out of one speaker then rock on!

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Castledoor - Remember When

Follow the Dove - EP - BUY HERE
1. Once upon an Intro
2. Burn the Maps
3. Growing a Garden
4. The Birds and the Fleas
5. What a day, What a day, What an Interlude
6. Magnetic Forces
7. Dove
8. Remember When

I've gotten a thousand emails asking who the artist was that I played in Podcast #21. It's Castledoor and the song is called 'Remember When'. I also played 'Growing a Garden' by Castledoor in Podcast #12. You should check them out on myspace and buy their EP on CD Baby!

Sorry my old podcasts are no longer available and that I've been MIA for almost 3 months! But a new podcast is coming soon I promise. From now on I will only be playing music by unsigned bands and indie artists to keep the few haters out there off my back.

I'm bummed not to be playing music by major label artists b/c there are so many great artists on the major labels that no one knows about. Major labels don't just sign superstars. They also sign developing baby bands but until the RIAA and publishers and major labels come to an agreement it's murky waters out there. It's really a shame b/c I know my podcasts result in peeps buying more music. Downloading a song for free from a podcast is not equivalent to stealing the song from a P2P client.

Bottom line is I KNOW peeps are buying more music b/c of podcasts and fans will seek out the easiest way to acquire the new song they just heard and fell in love with! So artists make it really easy for your fans to find buy links on your myspace page and website so they aren't tempted to steal your music. Let them know your music is for sale. Capiche?

Podcast #22 coming soon...
