Just did one of my first interviews with a world-renowned podcaster by the name of Jammin Dave Jackson.

Dave hosts a show called the Musician’s Cooler that regularly gives away tons of great info in the form of audio podcasts you download right to your iPod.

(Perfect for those long roadtrips between gigs.)

I got into podcasts a few months back when I discovered I had 30+ Gb of free space left on my Video iPod, and didn’t know how to fill it. That and I’m just always hungry for good content.

They say you are the sum total of the 5 people you spend the most time with, so for the past few weeks, I’ve been soaking up as much knowledge from Jammin Dave as I could, listening to all the archived podcast episodes. I highly recommend you check it out.

So here’s my interview with Dave. He called me up and grilled me for a half hour on everything I’ve learned in my 365 days. Just push play!

I’ve got to apologize to everyone who tried to tune in to my big 07-07-07 webcast of the Independence Day Bash in Hermosa Beach, CA. Most likely, you didn’t quite get what you expected…

We had the full band there, and everyone played their little hearts out. Those who were within speaker-distance of us listened more and more closely as the set went on, and by the end everyone begged us to play some more.

But for those of you who tuned in via the web, we failed to “turn on” the computer microphone, and so even though lovely Brittany was videoing the whole thing, you didn’t get any audio.

LET’S TRY AGAIN! I’ve got another show booked TONIGHT (07/14/07) at Kulak’s Woodshed, which is famous for their TV-Studio-Like webcasts. I guarantee this one will have audio! PLUS, there’s a special bonus:

My friends from Mandi’s Reckoning Crew will be backing me up.

• Don Peake, famous for his guitar riff on “Let’s Get It On” and his work with Ray Charles, among many other greats
• Alex Del Zoppo, who’s band Sweetwater was the first to play at Woodstock in 1969
• Voyce McGinley, fresh off his European tour with Cirque du Soleil

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to catch these living legends together on one stage! You can attend in person, or watch the live webcast tonight, beginning at 8pm PST/11pm EST.

Check it out! Google has a cool new feature to put digital thumbtacks on their map. So I started cataloging all my gigs and will continue to populate the map as this thing grows!

In the second installment of “How to Get a Record Deal in 365 Days,” Nick writes a new song that’s out of his league, disses American Idol, and finds a whole new fan base online.
