John Brown’s Body

June 15th, 2006 • Related Posts • Tags

I was looking around the Vloggercon site, checking out what I missed, and found a guy using this cool Wordpress plugin, Podpress, to podcast live music performances - and it just so happens he has live recordings from one of my favorite Ithaca-based bands, John Brown’s Body. JBB is reggae but there’s every style of music on the site, recorded in the San Francisco area. BayTaper, thanks man. Your site rocks! Literally…

    Hey, it was awesome to see your post, thanks for the Kudos! I grew up with Kevin in JBB when we were little kids in Ithaca. Good times! Funny thing is, I didn’t get a trackback even though we both have WP? I actually noticed your post through a “vloggercon” Technorati tag RSS subscription I have set in Bloglines! I wonder why the trackback didn’t come through? With wordpress you should have to do anything special, and even though I have a trackback validator plugin running, all it does is check to see if you had a link back to my site for real, which you do, so it should have come through. Do you not have “Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked to from the article (slows down posting.)” checked in your options?

    I do have that option checked, as well as a host of other pings…that explains why publishing takes forever, but not why you didn’t get an ‘incoming links’ notice. WTF?

    On a separate note, I’ve seen JBB at Grassroots for the past couple of years, and I went on Live Music Archive (I hadn’t explore this before) and found Grassroots recordings! For them and Sim Redmond Band, and I’m sure there are more. Thanks again!

    Yeah, the LMA is a freakin’ incredible resource. Every person I show that too just freaks out about it the next time I tell them. Not only that, there are RSS all over that place. For example, you can subscribe to the RSS of JBB, then every new show that gets uploaded will show up in your aggregator! Pretty sweet…
