Yes, developing your own website CAN be fun. So can moving studios (again.) Soon we'll be in lush Savoy Studios. This week is our last at Tree Top Studios. Wave, "bye!"
To celebrate the move we've got a few specialties including double takes on a bunch of new tunes we've got from seven great artists.
AND AND AND... A surprise came in from the west coast this week. The Justin Wayne Show Theme Song written by Ryan Flynn and performed by Ryan, Joe and Carlos. Thank those guys when you can. They're busy recording their debut album which will OF COURSE be featured on the show now that they've written the darn theme song.
Thanks you guys. It's very touching. I love it.
Perhaps we'll have to have some of the other bands try to come up with better ones and we can have a show where we vote for the best. Any other contenders out there?
Well, you can listen to the show and you'll hear the theme song. We received it about halfway through producing this show, so it comes later.
What comes before...?

Episode 41: Forty-First
There's lots of new music rolling in. It is the season of the new release, after all: Springtime. The time when bands gear up to hit the road, or they've already left and they'll be back mid-summer to record. So many, and many new bands and artists are finding the show. If you're interested in hearing some fresh stuff on the Show the next few weeks are going to be fantastic.
We have also begun doing reviews. You can see the review of Ryan Rebo's Dizzy American below this playlist and it'll be followed by more. If you are an artist looking to get some feedback or some critism of your work and perhaps feel like getting it played on the Show as well, send it along. There's a nice, new submitting section in the sidebar to the right. Scroll down a bit, you'll see.
We have also added a bunch more subscription functions in the sidebar. Unsure what to do to subscribe? Worry about paying for it? It's FREE, first of all. And second, if you click on the top one that says "Subscribe FREE in ANY reader" the following page will give you many more options than the ones that show up on this page.
Standout track this week comes from Sam Squared. Their new album Second Power is about to drop and because they're the best guys in the world they sent me a few songs. I'll be playing them in the next few weeks including this week with "Cloud Drifter." If you play it and rewind and play it again, I'll look the other way.
How about the rest of the playlist?

Review: Ryan Rebo - Dizzy American
Album: Dizzy AmericanArtist: Ryan Rebo
Digital Release: Already out in iTunes
Hard Copy Release: May, 2009
Author: Justin Wayne
Date: 13 April 2009
Ryan Rebo, once a part of the Helena, Montana based indie band Broadband Shortwave, readies himself to release his first solo album, Dizzy American in early May.
Broadband Shortwave held him as their lead singer, guitar, and keyboard player, developing a firm following throughout the northwestern United States. But after four years of hard touring, two EPs, one full-length album, lineup changes, and a lengthy three-year hiatus it was time to call it quits in the spring of 2008. They must have split peacefully because when I came around they graciously lead me to Ryan’s new project.
Ryan hit the ground running with his solo act, jumping into the studio right after Broadband Shortwave split ways. Perhaps the band had been stifling this fountain of creativity that now flows freely. After this first full-length, Ryan is off to a very ambitious start on his own.
And it is an ambitious album – eleven songs clocking in at nearly one hour. Dizzy American maintains an ease of listening as it plays through its entirety, floating from one song to the next. Most of the songs operate at a slower tempo, bringing their single running times to an average just under five minutes. These track lengths seem to balk the corporate radio system. Any song over four minutes throws off the pre-programmed radio timing, but this fact has not deterred Ryan Rebo. Maybe that’s where Dizzy American’s charm lies – Ryan wrote it for himself and for us but not for the corporate monkeys. This long-playing indie-folk record seems almost perfect in its composition; both in the timing and in the music.
The music contains an ethereal flavor to the melodies and the lyrics. “Cloud Nine” demonstrates this not only in its title but with its echoing angelic choir, flowing piano, sweet acoustic guitar, and a taste of cello. “Blue Times Together”, takes the ‘misery loves company’ theme and plays it to a major chord progression. This self-reflective theme plays out throughout the album and at times becomes quite affecting, adding a sincere and personal presence of Ryan in his work.
The rest of the album follows suit with standouts including one of the few darker tracks “Cracks”, the lighter “Lost and Found”, and the piano driven title track “Dizzy American”. The quality mix blends the disk together and each track tells a chapter in this story, Dizzy American. This album will be found playing in cars with windows down, winding though the mountains and valleys of a Montana summer.
And it looks as though Ryan will be making that possible with the album already appearing in iTunes. Keep an eye on www.myspace.com/ryanrebo for the hard copies of the album, and to preview the album for yourself. If you’re looking for an album to keep you company through a home-cooked meal with friends or to accompany you for a drive along the Yellowstone River, Ryan Rebo’s Dizzy American is a formidable choice.

Episode 40: New Intro-versary!
Yo!
(For some reason that's my greeting this week. L-A-M-E, I know.)
What's not lame is our FAB new intro with special thanks to DC Corey and his wonderful, warm, northern (English) voice. Also, the band Liquor Boxx provided the slammin' backing track and we're in business! You may be hearing a few different generations, permutations, and perhaps other shuns of that intro in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for that!
Speaking of staying tuned, this week debuts the commitment to posting one show per week, every week. Depending on where you are in the world, from now on, a new Justin Wayne Show will be able to be downloaded between Sunday afternoon and Monday afternoon. Every week. If for some reason I won't be "in" on a particular week I'll let you know in advance. This is my way of saying, 'thanks' to all my chums that have been regular listeners over the past 15 months.
I have also cut down the size of each show, compressing them a bit more than we have been. This is to increase subscribership even more with quicker, streamlined download times without much of a difference at all in quality. If you sense the audio quality of the show sliding downhill, get in touch! thejustinwayneshow@gmail.com
And speaking of subscribers, have you subscribed, or do you just listen in the browser? As subscriptions make listening SOOOO much easier - and it's FREE - why don't you join? I've posted some more specific subscription links in the sidebar on the right. Try one! See what happens. Don't know what subscribing to a podcast means? I explain it (with the help of Google) here: link to goofy podcast subscription video.
Stay tuned (yes, I know I said it already) for the coming thejustinwayneshow.com website which will include album reviews and hopefully some interactive chat and such things like this. Perhaps even a place for bands to post their free tracks. That would be cool! Any ideas about the new website again, get in touch thejustinwayneshow@gmail.com
Well... it's time for the playlist. Thanks again to Alana of Refugee Entertainment for hooking us up with the new intro!
