A great review by Mike at Audio Trip Music Project moved traffic to my site for the month. Thanks guys!

There are a heap of stations playing "A Life Like This" at this time. This track has not been released anywhere but on internationally produced webcasts and podcasts.
You can find me spinning on some of the finer podcasts including Australia's Salty Dog Podcast which is also spinning "HUNGRY (84,000 downloads of last podcast in one month). This is my favourite 'Live' recording. You can see a video snippit for it in the Store section on my site when you select the DVD. Salty has a GREAT podcast filled with fabulous music from all over the world - Roots and Blues genres.

Daily Pod in Germany downloaded "A Life Like This" for their podcast from the new site I set up on PODSAFE only last week.

Saturday afternoon "A Life Like This" is spinning on www.awsomeradio.net (between 1-3pm). Shoshona has a great show on this indie station.

Jeff at "Confessions of a DJ Podcast" is spinning both " A Life Like This" "Just 'Till You Get A Plane Of Your Own" .

Mark at "Women of the 90's" webcast and Podcast is Spinning "A Life Like This" and "Something Else Goin On". I am in the BEST of company on this station ... http://www.myspace.com/wot90

Bernie at Future Radio in the UK is spinning "A Life Like This" and "Something Else Going On" on his Oct 13th release.

Tried to include a link in this newsletter to my podcast but it seems i have been hacked, AGAIN, by P.U.M.A.
I'll have it up and running before the night is out and will post the link in the newsletter on both my sites ... www.carolyna.com and www.myspace.com/carolynaloveless

So, this summer was a wild ride.
Long trip .... BC -AB - Sask - Man - ON - Que - NB - NS - Back to Mid Ontario and into the states in MI - IN - Ill - Iowa - SD - Wyoming - Montana - Idaho - WA - HOME!

Played a bit - Familied it up a bit - Drove HEAPS!
Played for and with some fantastic players this season. Have met and jammed with some new folks this summer and among my favourites was a Big ol' Blues man from Hamilton, Ontario named Alfie Smith.
Huge Voice and seriously sweet slide. Check him out here: http://www.geocities.com/bigdumox/

Been listening to HEAPS of myspace bands. YES, you have to search, but there are so many gems... it is well worth the hunt. Before my trip I loaded up my ipod with songs from artists i found on myspace. Some sent me their cd's... some i purchased.... some i downloaded from their sites.... all of it thriled me. I had that ipod and 30 cd's on my trip. Thanks to all of you for 'feeding' me on my journey.

*** Arranged and recorded the BG Vox for Spirathon ( www.myspace.com/spirathon )in July - a song called "Green Olympics" , a BC-specific song protesting the debaucle that was to be the Green Olympics 2010. Good luck with the track Stephen. Ryen Froggatt from Komrade Studios did an excellent job on it. Love your work Ryen.

ON THE MOVIE FRONT!!!
The paint has not dried on either of the two film placements that Pollyanna Publishing found intrest in for "A Life Like This" and Stand UP". The legals are being done as we speak on one project that is actually deep in post at this time so at least it looks promising.
But... the one I was thrilled about (because the actually wanted me to perform my song in the movie) has not even begun shooting (which was meant to be finished by mid-OCT). I see the industry i am entering is much the same as the one i've been in for my own career.
lol
I'll keep you posted as Pollyanna Publishing continues to shop songs to the film companies.

The new carolyna.com site is almost finished. A new fresh face for the autumn. A downloadable hi-res EPK will be available for those who require it (I've done the work now stop making me go through Sonic Bids!!!).
lol

I'll be uploading a new link on my site to take you to "LEGS Rock n' Roll Photography".
My favourite Images that I ( and some from Mick) have taken over the years at international festivals and on this last toot cross the width of N.A.

On the lookout for new interns for all aspects of this company. Thanks heaps to the interns who worked hard this spring.

Hoping to raise enough $$ this winter to record in Jan. with all the boys and grrrls who have shown interest this year. Looking forward to working with all of you...

Don't forget to check out the blog on my myspace that says 'The Opening Act'... it is an excerpt from the talented Mr. Richard Flohil (used with permission).
It is a must read for all!

I'm going to leave it hear with a Big Shout Out To GEORGE CANYON.
He is my 'Gentleman Headliner' pick for the year... Those of you who have been the opening act and had to struggle through a set with !@..$^ sound because you HAVE to sing through the main acts settings... or have been banished to the Toilets as a dressing room so the Main act can have more space in the Dressing Room... on and on...
Well, Dave Gunning, a myspace friend, invited Mick and I to the George Canyon show at the Commodore this week (complete with backstage passes - thanks guys - i'll come backstage when you invite me onstage).
Half way through George's main set he introduces his long time friend, Dave Gunning, to the audience and they do a Johny Cash song... then... George sings the praises of his friend and fellow songwriter/musician ... and walks off stage leaving Dave with his audience for another 3 originals and a cover.... WHAT A KING of main stage chivalry.

Richard's article has some great headliner stories - both good and bad tales.
I enjoyed it so much I asked to share it with you all.
Enjoy your autumn!
Keep and eye on the sites for gig updates and recording studio tales.
Cheers,

Carolyna
