I really love some of the songs in this one, from the elegant simplicity of the opener, to the great ska sounds of the last band …
900 Miles, by Bethany & Rufus
The Mistake by Christophe Marc
Potential Criminal by Clara Bellino
Trespasser by HuDost
Victoria and Shots and Pills by Rude City Riot
And an important announcement. Please give me your thoughts and feedback.
This podcast is hosted by Libsyn (www.libsyn.com). Through arrangements with the Association of Music Podcasting, for the last 3 years I have had that hosting free. That has been very valuable support: I do not make a single penny from the podcast and would otherwise have spent several hundred dollars over the years.
Libsyn and AMP have been discussing the relationship, and not surprisingly Libsyn would like something in return.
This is likely to mean that before long you will hear advertising inserted automatically by Libsyn at either end of the podcast, ie for 10 to 15 seconds before the start, and longer (up to 1 minute) after the end. Everything from the AMP chimes and “… when I’m not … I like to listen to electrical language” to the closing music and “powered by Libsyn” at the end will be under my total control with no advertising within the main body of the podcast.
Please tell me your views: lectriclingo@gmail.com. I really value your opinions
This week’s soundbed music is Issues and Subscriptions and Rachel Dreams by Map. The title music is by Tragic Shell Suit Disaster.

100,000 downloads May 24, 2009
Posted by Gabor in other news.add a comment
Overnight, Libsyn stats showed that the 100,000 download mark has been passed. Right now it’s 100,011.
As I write, the most downloaded episode is no 17, with 1,899 downloads in the 3 years since I recorded it. For a long time it was no 51, called “party time wasting is too much fun”, which was the first to hit 1,000 downloads, but that one is now lagging behind at no 3 on 1,428 downloads.
Just so you know, typically each episode of electrical language has 100 to 120 downloads after 1 week, rising to anywhere between 150 and 300 after 3 months. This has been the picture for over 2 years.
The most downloads in one month was May 2008: 5,522. since then the graph has been very up and down.
I suspect that:-
- I have a revolving core of around 100 regular listeners
- Some people download the lot – but don’t listen to them all
- When an individual episode “takes off” in download numbers, it is down to one or more of the artists and their fans.
