W♥M033: Devi and Mary Shelley Overdrive

PLEASE NOTE: Mypodcast.com‘s servers and services are experiencing some difficulties, possibly due to the weak economy. Looking at their forums, it seems some people have had problems for weeks now with no feedback from the people running the website.

I’ll see what happens, but if they go out of business by next week, I’ll have to switch back to my original podcast address over at gcast.com. You can find widgets and how to subscribe through that website. With the widgets – please tick the ‘auto-play’ to “no”, it is on autoplay by default.

Part 1: Devi
Part 2: Mary Shelley OverdriveSo hey, welcome back to our weekly podcast show. Please see note above to why this episode is slightly delayed – even though I had finalized everything by late Sunday evening.

Also, I don’t normally jinx myself for announcing future guests on the show, but we have three scheduled next week. Hopefully the one from overseas will work out, so I’m crossing my fingers.

So, I also suggest you check out Emelia’s previous mention of Del Shannon’s “Runaway” and my article and fascination on the morbid “Jack the Ripper” and 50s-inspired The Raveonettes.

This week:

PART ONE: DEVI

Devi (pronounced “Davy”) is a rock trio from Hoboken, New Jersey. Debra was kind enough to stop in and talk to us about her debut album, Get Free, which was just released a few weeks ago. They just also finalized agreements with Red Eye Music Distribution, so you’ll be able to find their music at the usual places. In the meantime, you can get their album for $10 CD or $5 digital download via cdbaby.

Topics up for discussion:

• The name Devi and its origins
• How she met her band
• “Demon in the Sack” and “C21H23NO3” explained
• “Runaway” Del Shannon/Bonnie Raitt cover
• Hair-blowing photo session
• Special guest appearance on Get Free

PART TWO: MARY SHELLEY OVERDRIVE

Simon and Mark from Mary Shelley Overdrive, a band based out of South Carolina, in need of a drummer, as I just found out.

We talked about:

• The Secret Origins of Mary Shelley Overdrive
• Using the Internet to distribute music, etc.
• “Jack the Ripper”
• Pop culture, comics, and horror movie influences
• Werewolf on Motorcycles cover artwork
• fond of masks and playing live

UPDATE: Well the mypodcast.com problem isn’t so much that they are bankrupt, it’s that they ran out of disk storage. According to an admin, they posted this:

We had problems increasing disc space. Now…

We had problems increasing disc space. Now everything is fixed. There’s plenty of free space for podcasts.

So there you go. Hopefully they’ll get some bigger raids.

So hopefully, if you’re already subscribe to our show via mypodcast, you don’t need to switch or make any changes. However, going forward, I’m still uploading to gcast as well (since I still cannot update my mypodcast).
