Calling all lovers of independent music! This Point Blank feature focuses the spotlight on the chamber pop loveliness that is Venice Is Sinking. I ll explain everything in the podcast, but there s some info below if you want to read along too. The Athens, GA band want to press their new album on vinyl and they need your help to do it, but they re not going to make a penny from its sales, instead wanting to donate proceeds to a worthy cause. I ll let them explain.. On the morning of June 19, 2009, the Georgia Theatre was very nearly destroyed by a fire that gutted the whole building. It was a beautiful, historic building that had just gone extensive renovations, and it was an important landmark to the Athens music scene. Obviously, we are emotionally (and financially) tied to the building because we recorded our third album there, the one that we are raising money for right here! Wilmot Greene, the owner of the Theatre, helped finance this project, so we feel beholden to him. Details are still very sketchy about rebuilding the Georgia Theatre and if it s even possible, but we want to do whatever we can. We still want to make this record. In fact, we want to make it now more than ever! It stands as a document of the wonderful acoustics of an old building that will never be heard again. You can hear the Theatre in our album. It s as much a player on the recording as we are! So, let s consider this a fundraiser for the Theatre and not for us. We re not gonna make a penny off this. All of the rewards still stand, and we ll still make the album, but let s try to go way over the 3000 bucks! Every cent of profit from this site will go toward the Wil, the Georgia Theatre, and the staff who treated us with such kindness and professionalism while we engaged in our experiment there. It s not just about the building; it s about the jobs of the people who work there, too. We don t know how much we can pull in or what kind of difference these efforts will make, but we owe a lot to Wil and the Theatre. We don t even know if this is the appropriate response, but it s what feels right. We ll keep you updated with our efforts. All the best, Venice is Sinking (photo credit: Daniel Peiken, theclassiccity.com) So there you have it!

As part of our 40 Days countdown we will be interviewing various directors (and some panelists) of the DragonCon Fan Tracks. In this issue we feature Derek from the Skeptic track. Leigh joins me in being all sorts of scientific and truthful as we chat with Derek. Join us as we uncover the facts behind the Skeptic track and Derek tries to hide that he is a fortune telling alien ghost hunter. Be sure to head over to the official Skeptic Track website to get the latest happenings. Also, be sure to check out Derek and Swoopy s podcast Skepticality.

Today s Double Shot pinpoints two sets of musical roots spread out over a few separate areas of Northern California, and is partially inspired by a creative commons poem by Mill Valley, CA resident Peter Menkin. DOWNLOAD | SUBSCRIBE Our first featured artist, TRAVIS OBERG grew up in the town of Dinuba, a farming community 30 miles south of Fresno.  He now seems to operate out of Santa Cruz, CA with his backing band Saltwater Merchants , and his smooth vocals fall in the family tree lineage somewhere between James Taylor and Glen Phillips. Travis songs from his debut Bloodlines present an honest viewpoint on the importance of remembering where you ve been, looking ahead to where you are going and the decisions that we make on this journey. His songs deal with life and loss, relationships, redemption, and offer hope in this sometimes uncertain and difficult day we live in.  Music for Travis has always been about the ministry it allows; the strange and powerful way it can connect with people from every walk of life. TRAVIS OBERG SELECTED TRACKS 1) Travis Oberg Hurricane 2) Travis Oberg Bloodlines Writing songs is a trip! I am thrownback each time a new song arrives, like a surprise package in the mail.  Songwriting is a challenge that keeps me awake at night, longing for the expressions to take on form and melody Travis Our second artist WILL DERRYBERRY is based in the Bay Area of California San Ramon specifically.  He crafts meditative and ruminative songs laden with symbolic mystery, delivered on smooth yet raspy ethereal vocals akin to introspective singers such as Mike Mangione and Ray LaMontagne. Like Travis, Will also has ministry based roots, more apparent in his earlier material which focused on acoustic blues from a realistic slant, and then alternative pop rock,  his voice emerging stronger and closer to his core as each album was released. Will returned to his folk, and blues roots with the album release of Seven in March 2008.  Will admits,  “I wanted to get back to writing those tunes that came more naturally to me, where I could let it all hang out, be vulnerable,  and real. And, honestly, I wanted to make music that I would promote and perform for years.” WILL DERRYBERRY SELECTED TRACKS 3) Will Derryberry Seven 4) Will Derryberry Where Your Heart Lives “I know that there is power in the stories and confessions of an honest lyric, as well, a melody that can take us to the place where our heart lives, struggles, and endures. Sharing this kind of song is my hope. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say we want and even need these kinds of songs because we have the innate desire to be connected with each other in an honest and intimate way.” Will

Hey gang! I can t accurately express the myriad of feelings (including anxiety m able to grab the mic once again and rock the music I love for the world. I had aspirations to record a gigantic, super-produced episode that would be a marathon of awesomeness, but instead I ve opted to stay the course and serve up some killer indie music with my trademarked non-professional rambling in between One more thing to mention: This ain t no guest hosting gig Now kick back and enjoy the show DOWNLOAD | SUBSCRIBE 13 Reasons Insomnia Radio exists: The Winter Sounds: O Fear | Site | Store Anemo: She s Not Me | Site | Store Chance: Finger on the Trigger Makes a Man Feel Bigger | Site | Store | Twitter EDITORIAL: The Pirate Bay Decision | by Sarah Morrison Geri X, Geri X: Kiss on Both Eyelids | Site | Store The Exits: You Gotta Help Me Out | Site | Store The Perfects: End of Us | Site | FREE Store!

Today s episode warms us up a bit with a healthy dose of rock from UK, Canada, New York, Mexico City (and beyond) before our founder, Jason Evangelho takes over the controls for IR #165. The name of this episode has double meaning for me personally as I m planning on destroying most of my home CD collection in the near future and backing them all up digitally.  It also has something to do with putting forth our best effort to keep the musical fire burning since Jason s short hiatus from the network. Anyway, please enjoy the tracks that I ve put together for this episode and help support these great musicians. More on the way shortly!

From the beautifully crafted Pop/Rock of Brooklyn-based Aaron Zimmer to the Outlaw Rock Style of Zen Thesis from the Great American West. For this episode we stay mainly in the United States, venturing North of the Border to Canada a couple of times, thence to the UK, and a short side trip to mainland Europe, to two countries not renowned for their Indie Music Scenes. All this music was submitted to Insomnia Radio in the last few weeks, so thanks to the Artists, their Managements, Labels and PR Companies for sending it for you the listeners to enjoy.

No, we didn t win the mustard yellow belt this past year, but we accumulated so many tracks last year and through the first few weeks of 2009, we ve felt over-gorged on music and wanted to start sharing some with you while we recover from this champion binge session. The format of today s show is slightly different in the sense there are no themes really - just a bit of dialogue, and some great musical incentive to down your 161 hot dogs to.
