Freedom's on my mind a lot, and I got to thinking about freedom after reading about the
Copyright Royalty Board and its ridiculous
new fees for Webcasters. So this show includes a lot on that subject, including a huge tip of the hat to everyone participating in ventures like the
Podsafe Music Network.
I have become an instant fan after hearing the
Rebel Soul Band, and UWA 25 has two great tunes from this "groovin' rock 'n' roll band" devoted to "creating music with a message." I kick off the show with "Where You Going?" and move into a celebration of freedom with their song "Big Brother."
After a quick reminder about a certain
important document of freedom, if you've listened before, you already know "Free the People" by
Los Gallos, one of the best songs I've heard on this theme in a very long time.
Giles then wraps up the cycle by reinventing Richie Havens' classic tune "Freedom."
After I rave about the new TV show "Heroes," time has already run out, but not before we close with a cover by podsafe guru
Jonathan Coulton. This edition also includes a small pile of goodies culled from old
Mets broadcasts ... enjoy!
