Songtalk Podcast: Terry Radigan, Part 3

The effervescent Terry Radigan is back with me for the third and final installment of our little studio chat. In this episode, we talk about writing for other artists, recording one's own material, tainted love, and tangos that change keys. As usual, you can download the podcast directly at this site by right-clicking here (or control+clicking on a Mac) and choosing download selected file (or similar command), by doing the same under Podcasts in the column to the left, or by going to iTunes and downloading or subscribing to the podcast from there.

Until her website is up and active, you can find Terry on the web at ReverbNation, and you can buy the CD we're talking about, the self-titled Radigan, at Amazon.

Songtalk Podcast: Dan Manjovi, Part 3

The third and final episode of my interview with the inestimable Dan Manjovi.

Next time, we'll finish up with the extraordinary Terry Radigan.

In my favorite part of this episode, Dan talks about the inspiration for his song, Celebrity. And it's not social commentary. And incidentally, the "friend who was in a band" that I mention is Christopher Borg, and the band is (was; I don't think they're together anymore) Utah Mafia.

Anyhoo, Dan and I wrap up our conversation talking about repetition, rhyme, songwriting influences,writing political songs and novelty songs and more. You can download and listen to the podcast here (by right-clicking or on a mac control clicking and choosing "download file"), or by clicking under the podcast heading to the left, or by going to the iTunes store and subscribing or downloading from there.

Julie Clark: Preview of coming attractions

I sat down and had a simply mahvelous chat with the vivacious and talented (and multi-award-winning songwriter) Julie Clark. We talked for over an hour about her music, her knack for writing story songs on par with the Beatles' She's Leaving Home, her plans for future growth as a songwriter, etc. I found her to be generous, gracious, and very easy going and down to earth. And frankly, I could listen to her sing the phone book. Rarely do you hear a voice as captivating and inviting as the voice of Julie Clark. Look for the first installment of her podcast, coming in June. In the meanwhile, you can check her out at her website.

Songtalk Podcast: Terry Radigan, Part 2

My conversation with the firecely talented singer/songwriter/recording artist/producer Terry Radigan continues in this edition of Songtalk Podcast. (right click or control+click and download linked file). We talk about touchy music reviewers, sad love songs, economic writing, fun with major and minor keys, writing from the heart, and getting your friends to confide in you so you can write revealing songs about them.

Still no direct artist page, but for now you can find Terry on the web at ReverbNation, and you can buy the CD we're talking about, the self-titled Radigan, at Amazon.

I sat down with Terry Radigan in her recording studio in Brooklyn for this edition of Songtalk Podcast. You can listen/download here, or go to iTunes and subscribe by following this link. You can also subscribe to the blog and podcast at the top of the righthand column of this blog.

If you go to terryradigan.com, you will discover that Terry does not yet have a website. However, you will also discover that she has such a loyal fan out there somewhere that he saw that she didn't own her domain name, purchased it, and is holding it in perpetuity for her until such time that she needs it. All I can say is, wow. That's loyalty. 

Songtalk Podcast: Dan Manjovi, Part 2

My conversation with the masterful Dan Manjovi continues in Songtalk Podcast: Dan Manjovi Part 2. We talk about song structure, music theory and subliminal political themes in music. Dan talks about his musical education and gives some great advice to songwriters with little or no background in Music Theory.

You can download part 2 here on this website, or at iTunes. You may want to subscribe to the website, which you can do by clicking on this link. Read more about Dan Manjovi below the fold.

Songtalk Podcast: Dan Manjovi, Part 1

Well, as promised, here's the first installment of Songtalk Podcast. To download the podcast, right click with your mouse (or control-click on a Mac) and select "download linked file" or similar command, here for the mp3 file.

I'm taking the maiden voyage with the incomparable Dan Manjovi. In this first installment, we talk about Dan's evolution as a songwriter from his first CD to the second, harmonic vocabulary, writing a lyric as opposed to writing a poem (a good poem is not necessarily a good lyric, and visa versa), and the blues. Look for part two, and possibly part three, of our conversation in the coming weeks. It seems we had a lot to talk about!

You can visit Dan on the web and/or listen to and buy his music at his website, at CDBaby (Woke Up This Morning here, and the self-titled Dan Manjovi here), and on his MySpace page. His music is also available on iTunes, Emusic, Rhapsody and Napster. You can read more about Dan below the fold.
