"If there's a bustle in your hedgerow ...
Don't be alarmed now.It's just a spring clean for the May Queen."
Just what the hell does that mean? I've wondered for more than 30 years.
But my real questions is, if Zep really still owns the rights to their music who sold Cadillac the rights to use it in their commercials?
From Rock Gods to Ringtones
Posted by Alan Wexelblat
As you've no doubt seen by now, the remaining members of Led Zeppelin have finally agreed to release their complete collection on iTunes, along with a special purchase item that bundles all 141 tunes. Verizon Wireless will also be offering Zep ringtones.
The band has famously refused most prior commercial uses of their music, with one amusing exception: Jack Black begged them for the rights to use "Immigrant Song".

Brian May - Watch Out!
From Seth Dillingham comes this link to a cool video of some kid wailing his electric guitar on Pachelbel's Canon. Pretty cool. The kid can definitely play, assuming this is genuine. And it looks genuine.Canon on Guitar
This kid really knows how to play the guitar.
I watched for signs of a fake. There are a couple of moments that seem off, but it could be the result of junky camera, or digitization, or something else.
He certainly seems to have all the right motions in both hands. I have some extremely musical friends around here... what do you think? Speak up!
(Thanks for the link, Dad!)

Recording via Odeo Studio
ATL podcast maven Hilary at podcrawl has recorded a test cast using Odeo Studio. Its just a blah-blah podcast, but the sound quality is excellent. Compared to the horrible, crappy sound I got trying to record Skype conversations, telephone conversations, etc. this sounds fantastic. Its not what you can get with $500 worth of equipment and a little home studio, but its damn good. The podcast did not come through with her RSS feed I had to go to the Odeo site to hear it. But maybe thats just a configuration glitch. Im going to try this out. If its as easy, and good, as it sounds you could be recording all kinds of quick, easy instructional or inspirational audio with almost no effort.Recording from Odeo Studio
Create I did, from Odeo Studio tonight. Just a quick shoutout to my peeps. If you are subscribed, you should have gotten it through the feed. If not, you can go here to listen.
This was so simple. It really does allow the average person to podcast without much in the way of equipment or knowledge of the traditional recording process. Back in June, Ross Mayfield said "Podcast is the new voicemail". Being able to create audio in such a short amount of time was blissful in comparison to the time I put into preparation, recording, editing and posting my first podcast, not to mention the software/hardware purchase, setup and configuration. Tonight I went to Odeo Studio, pressed record, talked a bit, then hit save. This opens podcasting to the masses.
I will never forget the birthday song my brother left on my answering machine several years ago. He called me on my birthday and since I wasn't home, he picked up his guitar and sang to me through my answering machine. Sadly, the song is long gone because it was on a crappy, little tape. Next year, I'll send him to Odeo so I will be able to save my birthday song mp3.
Once again, I am impressed with Odeo. Great job guys!
