On this week's show we feature Shagg, that smooth, jazzy, rocking septet from Brooklyn, NY. We just received their album, "Buh Ba Ba Ba", which we played one track off of a couple weeks ago. These guys totally rock. Check out their site and get the album, or download it from iTunes. This isn't just a few singles wrapped in elevator music; the album is strong from start to finish.
As for the stereo troubles (for those on the edge of their seats), it turns out they never went away. I set my computer to play music mono on the left channel, which is the only channel that the mixer is picking up (for whatever reason). Turns out my computer thought that meant to only play the left half of the songs. Why does it even have that lever? Who knows. From now on I'll try outputting in stereo and using the "mono" setting on the mixer. We'll see if it makes a difference.
Oh, and when I complain about the mic in this week's show, it's because someone broke the mic clip, and the mic keeps falling out. Which wouldn't be so bad, but the mic stand is somewhat spring-loaded. Which means that if the mic stops holding it down, it will fly straight up in the air. And if I'm speaking into the mic at the time...ouch. There was a red mark on my face all day. That's the kind of sacrifice I make for this show.
