Update 11 Sep 2007, 11:08pm: Marco Mahler have decided to offer his entire album to download for free on his website! If you like the album, please recommend it or donate.
In the latest W♥M Podcast, I spoke with Trevor from Ariel Publicity.
We got to see Trevor's views on traditional media (Television, Radio, & Newspaper) versus internet media and where he thinks it's heading.
I also asked what some of the bands he's working with that he enjoys and I thought I'd break them down for you with a brief biography and song.
♥ Marco Mahler

We've previously mentioned Mahler before.� This is a New York singer/songwriter. His lyrics are inspired by Bob Dylan and his amazing guitar work inspired by Bert Jansch. You can hear his inspiration to Jansch's "Angie" in Mahler's "Otmar Elmer", so check it out if you haven't read my previous post on Mahler.
♥ Lez Zepplin
www.lezzeppelin.com
These are an all-girl Led Zeppelin tribute band. They recently released a self-titled debut album last July, produced by Eddie Kramer (who's also worked with Zeppelin).
I have always thought that "Lez" was alluring to Lesbian, and it's just a really clever name.
Hopefully I can do a proper writeup on them later down the road, they've already been featured in Spin, CNN, and the Times. Plus, as you know, I am a huge cover lover.
You can hear even some more Robert Plantesque styling at their myspace.
♥ Adam Von Baron

I ended the interview with Von Baron's "In My House", which has a Yanni feel to it. It's a very easy-listening. We don't feature too many New Age-type of music, so this may be a first for W♥M.
Reading his biography, he's been performing and recording music for over twenty years. He's currently based out of Honolulu, Hawaii.
I thought
this interview turned out really well. It was originally over 30 minutes, but I've condensed and edited it down to about 10 minutes (my goal is to keep the podcast less than 15 minutes).
I'm hoping to do random interviews with different people in the music industries as a feature. Anywhere from marketing, record companies owners, other bloggers, traditional media, to musicians. As a critic and consumer, I actually really enjoy hearing what they have to say about the field they work in and how the internet have affected them.
So, once again, I just wanted to thank Trevor for taking his time out to chat with us. If you are in the music industry and are interested doing a very short Q&A session with us, please send me an email. I have a few musicians that are lined up to talk to us, but please keep in mind that I don't want the podcast format to just be interviews so they may appear only as weekly or semi-weekly specials.
Hopefully our regular showrunner, Ryan, will be back today, so we'll get his insight on the Bestival Festival.
