Welcome to the New Year! This month at The Rock And Roll Guru,
I’ve been covering New Year’s resolutions musically speaking. I talked about my
desire to seek out new music and not fall back on the same handful of bands I
always listen to. I’ve also discussed which bands I will try to see in concert
this year. What I haven’t yet mentioned is my final musical resolution. That was
to start a podcast. And not just any podcast, but a podcast on my favorite band
of all time … KISS!
That’s right, I have launched a podcast on KISS. The
podcast is called The Psycho Circus: A KISS Album Podcast and it is a
retrospective review of every KISS release. I analyze each album the band has
put out in depth and provide commentary and opinions for each track on the
album. I will also be covering their video releases, movies, and some bonus
episodes of certain years in the band.
This is something that I have been working on behind the
scenes for quite a while now. I actually started this process last summer by
mapping out my vision for the show. Podcasting is something I’ve always wanted
to do ever since Rob Rockitt and I did our short-lived podcast for Hard Rock
Hideout. Podcasting is one of those bugs that bit me and never left, so I
decided that it was time to take it up again.
Through several months of preparation, pain, discipline,
and dedication, I was finally able to complete the podcast and have it ready to
unveil to the world. I actually thought this was going to be available late
last year, but I ran into some unexpected difficulties that cost me time. There
was a lot that I had to learn about podcasting on the fly and much of it I got
wrong several times before I finally got it right. Now that everything is
corrected and posted, it’s full steam ahead!
What does this mean for the blog? Probably nothing to be
honest. I don’t anticipate any changes with The Rock And Roll Guru. I still
plan to write and post regularly. I may plug new episodes of the podcast from
time to time and I will probably set up a link to the show’s web page, but
other than that, I expect it will be business as usual here.
If you like KISS, please check out the podcast. Or if you
like me, please check out the podcast! Right now, you can find current episodes
at: https://psychocircuspodcast.wordpress.com
The podcast should be available on ITunes in a few days and I will be
submitting it to other podcast directories as well, so eventually The Psycho
Circus Podcast should show up in your favorite podcatcher app.
I am very excited about this new venture and look forward
to doing this podcast for a long time. I have over 100 episodes listed that can
be recorded, so I imagine this will go on for a long time. If you do listen to
the podcast, please send me some feedback! I’d love to know your thoughts on
the show!
The carnival has just begun!
