Tales from the Long Tail... (No. 1)

So, I've changed the title of my podcast to Tales from the Long Tail.

However, I can't promise that I'll do podcasting more than semi-monthly but do let me know what you want to hear more of.

Why the new name? Well, I'd like to devote my podcasts to highlighting music or culture that I've been consuming in the long tail. That is, things that aren't getting much attention or $$$ but that are just as amazing as any of the other artists in the power law curve of attention. On each podcast of Tales from the Long Tail I'll highlight obscure or fringe music that you might consider listening to.

In this first installment I play a few excerpts from sexy and sometimes raunchy Princess Superstar including Wet! Wet! Wet!, Bad Baby sitter and Kool Keith's Ass. Then I play an excerpt from DwarfStar, a song by the 18th-century cellic ghost-circus that is Rasputina. Finally, I close out with the divariffic Diva Destruction covering Radiohead's Climbing the Walls off of Cleopatra Records' tribute comp., Anyone Can Play Radiohead.
