The Donewaiting.com family was very busy bringing you delightful tales of music and heartbreak.

? The very enjoyable and refreshing Donewaiting.com Podcast #9 went live this week, featuring music from Of Montreal, Thunderbirds Are Now! and many others.

? Donewaiting.com writers kindly bring live reviews of New Order in England, Sound of Urchin in Columbus, the Mountain Goats in San Francisco, Stars in New York and review of the new El Jesus de Magico album.

? Han has his soundtrack to June available for your reading pleasure.

? Kim posted up some great Aqualung photos.

Live 8 is over and everyone knows there’s poverty in the world. Now everyone wants to know: where can I download performances from the show?

Brooklyn Vegan’s got some good links for you. So does the largehearted boy.

Also: Madonna gives poverty the middle finger:

Legendary R&B artist Luther Vandross, whose smooth, silky voice gave soul to songs about life, love and relationships, died Friday. He was 54 years old.

The popular crooner suffered a debilitating stroke in April 2003. Even so, his album “Dance With My Father,” co-written with Richard Marx, sold nearly a million copies in its first month of release that June. The album won him four Grammy Awards, half his lifetime total, including song of the year.

Vandross died at JFK Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey at 1:47 p.m. ET, surrounded by family, friends and a medical support team, a statement from the hospital said. (full obit)

Wow, accepting trackbacks and comments? Welcome to 2001, donewaiting.com.

I guess I originally had them turned off on the main blog because we have a very active message board that people use. But as time has moved on, I have a feeling that there are comments people and there are message board people, and very few crossover. Hopefully this will bring in additional discussions to the site.

IF you experience any issues with the setup, please send me an email. Thanks dudes.

Miranda Sound are recording their third album with legendary musician J Robbins (Jawbox) this week and have set up a recording diary to keep up to date on progress.

If you do the math, that’s like one penny for every song or something. (I’m bad at math!)

You can either download “Mile” via iTunes or buy a CD version via the Hush Website.

To commemorate our 50th release, HUSH has collected, not coincidentally, fifty unreleased, out of print and rare tracks from the various acts it has worked with since its inception in the late 90s. This enhanced CD takes advantage of the near ubiquity of jukebox software like iTunes and the proliferation of iPods by offering thirty-six high quality mp3 tracks (accessible via computer–just drag and drop) in addition to the fourteen songs which play on any standard CD player.

Hush Records was the same label that first brought the worlds the Decemberists, btw.

Kim gets up close with Aqualung. Here’s a sample:

In honor of the iTunes announcement, we bring you the “OMG iTUNES!!!!” Edition.

When I said the Clout Cult album’s title was “Happy Hippopotamus”, I really meant to say “Advice from the Happy Hippopotamus”. An honest mistake.

Also, voting for our podcast brings exposure to the show that we wouldn’t normally get. It will take a second of your time, and would mean the world to us.

PS: As a reminder, you do not need an ipod to listen to this. If you can play mp3s on your computer, you can listen to the show.

Apple has released an upgrade to iTunes, which adds support for organizing and subscribing to podcasts. It’s currently not up on the Apple website, however, it shows up in OSX’s Software Update. No word yet on the Windows version.

PS: Don’t foget about Donewaiting.com’s Podcast. It’s quite lovely.

Man, these days I fall asleep so early. That’s why I got Tivo, dude.
