So Robot Record Party is getting close to launch. We interviewed Wanda Jackson today. What an interesting lady! Her and Elvis toured together on Elvis' first tour. How can that not be interesting?

We've got enough material for the first 4 shows but want to get 6 shows ahead before we launch.

The show is modular, and I think each party stands alone well enough.

1. Song Reviews - We review songs that are put out on artist and label websites. We talk about what we hear in the music, possible influences, why it's interesting or sucks, etc.
Oh, did I mention it's random what song we'll get? It's kind of MST3K in that vein.

2. Interviews- We want to talk to both musicians and music-lovers. We want to get to the heart of what turns people on about a certain song, artist, or album. We want non-ironic discussions about the nature of music and why it affects us so.

3. Music Term of the Week- We've been working with a friend who is a doctorate of composition about musical terms. We'll try to cover one each show in an interesting and entertaining way. For instance- What is a Concerto? What differentiates that from other musical movements? Or another week perhaps- What is Reverb? All the while we'll use funny and effective musical examples to illuminate the term.

4. Point/Counterpoint- Must think of a better name for this. My parnter, LT and I will take opposite sides of a musical issue- and believe me when I say we disagree on plenty. He thinks the White album is the Beatles worst album, I think he's insane as it's easily in my top three favorite Beatles albums.

It should be shaping up to launch in the next month. (cross fingers)
