My second podcast is now live for you to download and enjoy.

This time around I play songs from some of my favorite albums of the year, including Sufjan Stevens, the Mountain Goats, Concretes and more.

BONUS: Special guest appearance from my dog, Scout.

The lists keep rolling in! Read Chip’s list and feel good about life.

David has a good interview with Dynamite Club that you can read here.

I hope they are careful with the TNT.

What I love about the donewaiting.com writers in that their music interests are so varied. There is no clear group favorite and that’s a good thing.

For your reading pleasures, check out the year end lists by Chicago writer Tankboy, lead photographer Kim and the multi-tasking Kiesha.

Colin is heading out on a solo tour in January, and is bringing with him an interesting EP:

“I’m in the process on working on a tour-only EP to sell at the shows,” says Meloy, “which will be a short collection of five select Morrissey B-side covers, done acoustically.” (full story/tour dates)

_via Copyfight, another chilling example of the “corporates'” view of fair use and it’s incremental efforts to completely abolish it. HBO plans to implement some sort of DRM scheme next year that will cause certain DVR’d shows (Six Feet Under is noted) to “expire” after a set period to be determined. An HBO executive calls it “transitional fair use“. With recently increased restrictions implemented by Tivo, the noose continues to tighten around fair use and time-shifting rights. Additional Copyfight post and commentary here.

My mother always said to me that I had a face for Podcasting, and now it’s time to make her proud. We’re pleased to present the Donewaiting.com Disposable Radio Show!

Our first podcast (or, as we called it last year, a radio show delivered in mp3 format) is now available for your downloading pleasure. Head on over here to get it. I also include a brief explanation of what podcasting is, and in the coming days I’ll add some more helpful links and things like that.

In the first Podcast, I play songs from my five favorite albums from Columbus OH in 2004. With all of the negative energy in our town this week, I thought it might be good to offer up to the rest of the world some of the good things going on in town.

I hope you like it.

This is what happens when you censor all media and try to become the “clean” place:

The complaint, filed Thursday in Washington County Circuit Court, seeks an order requiring Wal-Mart to either censor or remove the music from its Maryland stores. It also seeks damages of up to $74,500 for each of the thousands of people who bought the music at Wal-Marts in Maryland.

“I don’t want any other families to get this, expecting it to be clean. It needs to be removed from the shelves to prevent other children from hearing it,” said plaintiff Trevin Skeens of Brownsville.

Skeens said he and his wife, Melanie, let their daughter buy the music for her 13th birthday and were shocked when they played it in their car while driving home. (full story)

There wasn’t a warning label on the CD. 2005 is gonna be a battle. [credz]

From the Ten Club:

The Ten Club will be releasing a very special limited edition CD featuring Ed singing with the Walmer High School choir from South Africa. The CD will have a number of tracks of the choir and a few tracks with Ed and the choir together. We have a terrific article for you in the News section on pearljam.com for background on the project. “The Molo Sessions” cd will be available Dec. 15th at pearljam.com and sales will benefit Molo Care, a Seattle non-profit that raises money for schools in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
