Hurricane Scare
Before making landfall near Galveston a couple weeks ago, Hurricane Ike caused a scare here in the Corpus Christi area, which prompted me to reschedule some of my plans. Everything is back on track now, though, so I decided to put out a show this week before taking another hiatus from producing shows.
Guess Who?
As usual, I share the latest Josh Groban news, including his hilarious musical tribute at the EMMY Awards, the fact that Josh recently recorded a song with Placido Domingo, took part in the "Stand Up to Cancer" telecast, and appears in the Ben Folds/Regina Spektor video for "You Don't Know Me." To see what Josh has to say about working with Placido Domingo (and more), watch his video blog.
Ingrid Michaelson News
Ingrid Michaelson is also supporting "Stand Up to Cancer," with proceeds from the sale of her song "Be Ok" and her upcoming album of rarities, also titled "Be Ok," to benefit the organization. The album will be released October 14.
The Killers to Release New Album
The latest offering from The Killers, "Day and Age," will be released on November 25 in the U.S. and November 24 in the U.K. The first single, "Human," can be heard at The Killers' official Web site or their MySpace page.
It's Short Track Time
Fans of Apolo Ohno will be interested to know that the first World Cup of the short track speedskating season will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah starting October 17. Visit The Ohno Zone for info and results.
Presidential Debate
When this show was recorded, it still wasn't certain if John McCain would make an appearance at the first Presidential debate, so I talked a bit about that. As he did appear, you can watch the debate and read the transcript.
Off Again
Since Hurricane Ike interrupted my plans, I had to reschedule them. I'm taking another break from producing RF shows, but I should be back within a month. Stay tuned!
