Alright folks! I am proud to announce that Shane Carey will be producing and hosting the next episode of the Strada-Sphere Radio Podcast! I will be sending along the contest files to Shane in the next week or so and he will be producing the show for a Febuary release. I have created a thread for the contest at Stickist.com and will soon be adding a poll where you will be able to cast your votes for the theme song contest winner. Here is the thread post: Strada-Sphere Radio Podcast Theme Song Contest Forum Thread The contest episode will post in the 1st half of Febuary featuring all contest entries.Listen to the show then head on over to the thread to cast your vote.The poll will be open until the night before the announcement show is ready for download.We will open the show with the winning entry.Not even the winner will know the results of the contest untill the show! Will I host the announcment show or will Shane? How about both of us? Well, we will have to wait and see.Hopef...

Hello folks! I wanted to share this e-mail with you all.... Hi Juan, Sorry to hear about your Mac difficulties. I don't know how practical it would be, with the contest going on and all that, but the offer still stands to guest-host, or anything else I can do to help keep the momentum going. -shane That was sent to me by Shane Carey,podcast host for the Nascent Music Podcast . We are working out the details.... Stay tuned! Juan

Due to technical difficulties (a dead Mac,to be exact!) the next Strada-Sphere Radio Podcast episode and the theme song contest winner announcement is on hold.My power Mac G4 needs an $800.00 logic board and I do not have that kind of cash at the moment.However,I weill be purchasing a new Mac instead of trying to fix my current tower. So,what should I do about the contest? Should I go ahead and accept more song entries beyond the original Jan 31st deadline and do a "Welcome Back Mega Podcast Showcasing Every Theme Song Contest Entry I Recieve Untill I Get A New Mac Special Edition Of The Strada-Sphere Radio Podcast" and ask for your votes to pick a winner? Or,should I just stick to the original deadline of Jan 31st and cut off the contest then and call it done?Please let me know by posting comments at the Strada-Sphere Radio Myspace page or here on this blog. Looking forward to hearing from all of you! By the way,the next podcast will be an "enhanced podcast"...

Hello Stickists! Hope you all had a gread Christmas and that Santa Emmett left you all a brand new Stick! I have been getting a few more submissions for the contest so I will do at least one more show before a winner is announced.I plan on doing it in the next week or two.In ight of this,I would like to set the deadline for submissions as the 31st of January,2007. I will announce a winner in the Febuary show so forget what I said in the last show (# 13)! You still have time to submit a 15-30 second tune. Hit the woodshed and good luck! And have a Happy New Year! Juan

Hello loyal listeners! 1st of all let me start off by wishing you a Merry Christmas! 2nd, I have created a LastFM a page for myself.For those of you who may not have heard of LastFM,it is an online community which allows other people in your "neighborhood" to see what you listen to via updated charts that report your listening habits.Other folks then listen to your picks,recommend music,artists,and so on.As you may have already guessed,there is a lot of Stick music on my charts!In fact,I have been listening to my i-Pod's "Stickists" play list pretty much all day and reporting it to Last FM via my media player (in this case,Amarok running on Linux).I encourage you to sign up and tune in!
