Streaming Glossary

Glossary has always had one foot in Americana / Southern Rock with each of their releases – not usually a sound you associate with being progressive with the Internet. However, they’ve released albums for free online, maintain their own site, Facebook, Twitter, etc. And now? They’re on the road and streaming their shows with uStream.. so matter where you are, you can catch the greatness of their live show. Watch them in Little Rock tonight and next time you see them be sure to commend them for their embracing of digital culture.

WRVU Meets iPhone

In case you missed the announcement yesterday, be sure to be keenly aware of the fact that WRVU now has their very own iPhone App. After years of streaming exclusively with the soul sucking RealPlayer technology you have to give them a hand for turning around some serious embracement of new delivery techniques. Now you can listen to your favorite shows from anywhere – not just near a radio dial or in front of a computer.

Next on the checklist of requested goodies from them: more Community DJ’s, deep archives of shows and a logo / icon that doesn’t make me cringe. But for now – huge pat on the back for the launch of the app.

Umbrella Tree Updates

We received word from the Umbrella Tree camp yesterday that they’ve got some new things afoot that you may care to be privy to.

  • 3. The band has a new album entitled To the Memory of a Once Great Man that they’ve been toiling away on and have decided to share the track “On Paranoia” for download right here.
