Poorman's Podcast: Walkin' the Talk on the Streets of London with Mick Fleetwood & his Celebrity Playlist

(download)

 

I have another another one my "Poorman's Podcasts" here for your listening enjoyment.  I make these on my iPhone using the voice recording app. Very simple to do.  This time I recorded it while walking along the South Kensington streets in London.

I was on my way back from the gym and had just finished listening to this new feature that iTunes has called, the Celebrity Podcast.  It is a new feature that I talk about in the attached podcast. Mick Fleetwood put one of these together and I loved it.  It is storytelling. It is about music.  It is about music through storytelling...and Mick Fleetwood spins a mighty fine yarn. 

Listen to what I have to say about it and then see then decide if you want to download it for free in the iTunes store. 

Also, here is the link to listen to it now: Mick Fleetwood Celebrity Podcast.  

That link does not take you to the iTunes store.  It opens up in your browser where you can watch the accompanying slide show of the podcast. It is cool because there are some visuals that go along with it.  I didn't even realise you could do that until just now.  Learn something new everyday...

A couple other highlights I forgot to mention my podcast:
  • Sandy Nelson: I didn't know who he was.  Listen to the Link Wray-light guitar in the background
  • Marvin Gaye: If there were three people that I wish stayed on to make more music and more statements it would be John Lennon, Robert Johnson and Marvin Gaye.  All of which were taken down by someone else's hand. Marvin was an extremely tragic character in life and in his death.
  • James Brown: Listen to the opening of "It's a Man's World".  Stopped me cold while at the gym and was close to bringing tears to my eyes.  You can't cry at the gym...
  • The Peter Greene song I mentioned is called "Man of the World".  Much like the tunes on Lennon's "Working Class Hero" album, here is a song where the artists takes their guts out and spreads them all over the mixing board and the listener for all to chew on.  I attached a link here for you to listen to it in your browser. The lyrics are full-on...
