Dave’s Lounge #142

Click to listen

So I was all set to introduce some new features to this web site with this particular episode, but a funny thing happened along the way — I actually spent much of my vacation time doing… nothing. Just catching up on sleep and taking time to relax and not worry about my web sites for a little while. It was kinda nice, actually.

Still, the podcast moves on, as this week's show introduces new background music and six new artists, all of which come from direct submissions. If you've got some downtempo tunes you'd like to submit to Dave's Lounge, just send an email to daveslounge@gmail.com, and I'll give 'em a listen.

Dave’s Lounge #141: The 2008 Yearbook

Click to listen

We often remember each year by the music it gave us, and 2008 gave us a lot of fantastic music. Thus, this end-of-year special highlights your favorite downtempo tunes from the past year. A few of the selections surprised me, but for the most part, these are a lot of my favorites, too, and I hope y'all enjoy having them all together in one big 110-minute mix.

This will be the last episode of Dave's Lounge for 2008, but don't worry. I'll be back on Monday, January 12, with all new music and a few new additions to the web site, some of which I've been meaning to add here for a while now. Stick around. We're still building something here…
