Sad note (DVD Parade Max Week 14)

On a sad note it seems shortly after DVD Parade Max Week 14 (the review of Police Squad the Complete Series) was done and released Leslie Nielsen passed away. A dedication to him will be made at the start of DVD Parade Max Week 15 (coming soon).

The topic has been changed for Week 15, but the present details are abit up in the air (right now, however, I am opting for an upbeat funny slate of reviews for Week 15). Stay tuned.

Cast is coming tomorrow (Christmas Eve), and yes it is only a parody meant to be fun so please don't take it too seriously please... and don't give it to kids, I didn't have kids in mind when I made this (trust me).

Tomorrow is a new Request Day for Cafe Jukebox

First notice is that I'm going to start taking votes for a new name for the all request music cast so we can set that aside as it's own cast, so that's something we'll work on tomorrow.

A few new rules about requesting music
1-If you are listening from here and not presently, say, in the domain of Kingdom of Camelot I am taking requests from you can either message me on Facebook (Facebook Chat) or you can leave a request on the Thursday Request post I'll leave tomorrow here.

2-As recommended by Hazz we'll limit requests per artist/group to 2 songs per artist/group to avoid people becoming bored. I'll let you know as we take requests which artists/groups reached the 2 song limit as we go.

3-For Tijl. Request taking day is not suggestion day. We only want requests for songs from people who will, in turn, download the cast and listen to their requests... no "suggestions" please unless your downloading.

4-If we don't get a full cast by Thursday we'll keep taking requests Friday.

5-We'll try to take nominations for new name for the cast. Once we got a full cast we'll take the nominations and post them here to be voted on.

That's about it. Happy Thanksgiving and I'll see you all tomorrow for requests and voting!

Today's Update : Working on Week 2 cast now, and new place to hear DVD Parade (and update)

Three updates.

First off DVD Parade Week 2 is in the works. Hope to have it out tonight.
Today it's going to start off with a Star Trek review-a thon with me talking about the entire series from start to end prior to Star Trek 2009 (that's one or two box sets of content right there, and what I think of them both).

New place to listen and download DVD Parade. Check out...
http://darkeraven.podbean.com/feed
Hope to put a new cast there every week (so this cast is now weekly permanently).
Only problem is that the space is limited for free customers so I'm going to keep using megaupload for the time being.

And final update is, as I said, now we'll have a new DVD Parade every week now that we're putting out through podbean (and finally show up on iTunes). Stay tuned for next cast in a week.
