*** Part of an ongoing series of TOOLS TO ENJOY MORE MUSIC *****
I will attempt to profile great avenues of finding, listening to, and downloading new music, to help you, the music fan, get more out of your listening experience.
The interface was probably my first podcast. Back in 2006 I spent many weekends working in my new house, and I needed some new music to get into while I was demolishing, rebuilding and painting. I think I had been looking up bands for the upcoming Virgin Festival in Baltimore, MD., but somehow I had stumbled onto four awesome new bands. Pigeon John, the Raconteurs, KT Tunstall, and Lady Sovereign.
During these early podcasts, the podcast was referred to as AOL Interface @ Spinner.com. It was also mainly an interview with some performance added at the beinning or end. Somehow they embedded chapters into the podcasts, so you could skip through and listen to the songs. That was nice as, after the 10th time or so of listening to the interviews you could just skip to the songs. Amazingly though, the interviews were very well done, and I never seemed to mind to listen to the interviews repeatedly. Unlike other podcasts that reviewed new music, the songs were live, in studio performances. As I mention time and time again her on McGurkMusic, if you really want to get to know an artist, listen to their music in as many variations as possible.
Unfortunately these early podcasts don't seem to be available, but I wanted to touch on a few highlights.
Artist Date Released Songs Featured
The Raconteurs 4/17/2006. Yellow Sun, Steady As She Goes, Blue Veins
KT Tunstall 5/4/2006 Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, Miniature Disasters
Lady Sovereign 8/24/2006 Random, Public Warning
Silversun Pickups 8/31/2006 Common Reactor, Well Thought Out Twinkles,
Waste It On, Kissing Families
The Decemberists 11/7/2006 O Valencia, Summersong, The Crane Wife 1&2
Ted Leo 3/9/2007 Bleeding Powers, Who Do You Love,
A Bottle of Buckie,Timorous Me
The Interface evolved in mid-2007. First and foremost the podcast was now VIDEO!!. Second it became a majority of performance, rather than interviews.
Artist Date Released Songs Featured
Tegan & Sara 8/9/2007 Back In Your Head, the Con, Nineteen, Dark Come Soon
Sea Wolf 11/21/2007 Winter Windows, Middle Distance Runner, You're A Wolf, Black Dirt

Passion Pit 10/10/2008 I've Got Your Number, Live to Tell the Tale, Sleepyhead, Smile Upon Me
Adele singing 'Chasing Pavements' from 19 on the Interface
The third evolution of the Interface is where the interview portion was simply limited to a graphic of a question and the video response of the band. Many times the questions are interspersed within the performances. Now that the podcasts are staying available longer, I have gone back to find ones I missed or dismissed, such as the Black Keys, Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, or Jose Gonzalez
