I supported an indie label’s compilation series, a company called Artist
Amplification. The only artists that continued to receive airplay since those days were Particle Zoo, and Spiraling.
My 1/20/03 RCB Showcase at C-Note included the likes of Rebecca Pronsky, Emiko, and U-Bolts.
3/17/03 holiday showcase: Kieran McGee, Shelly Riff, The Revelers, Shivery Delicious
4/7/03: Casey Holford and Jenn Lindsay, Scott Mackin, Gravy
5/7/03: Regina Spektor, Clay Mitchell, GADU.
Indeed, Regina was making the rounds as an antifolk star, and later that year would meet that guy from The Strokes, and her career skyrocketed soon after. I had recorded the showcase. The audio still remains someplace, a treat to hear, solo keyboard. GADU was led by Avishai Cohen, with vox by master whistler/singer Jeff Taylor.

Denise would later open up her own studios, called MONOLisa. She would win a Grammy for Best Children’s Album in 2018

I’m recalling having more intermittent Internet trouble, realizing I was
still on a slow PC, and on dial-up, and not much RAM to process at
once. I was broadcasting Tuesday evenings, into about early

9/9/03 was significant, as it was my first show with a cable modem,
broadcasting in 32k.
