The Newest MousePod

[LSPoorEeyorick]

Oldschool 'pod!

Just finished listening to the new edition. Spiffy! I've definitely been wondering where you've amassed all of this swell music I'd never heard before. Of course, the more I get to know you, the more I know I should never doubt your ability to find and collect stuff I'm not even aware exists.

Hey, is the recently-released Bossa Disney stuff going to be in the original language, or have they recorded new versions?

Good work, as usual!

Thanks for the kind words.

The new US release of "Disney Bossa Nova" is entirely in Portuguese, just like the track I played on the MousePod.

Here's a link to the CD on amazon.com .

If you get both the Japanese CDs, there are 16 more tracks, including two remixes and three tracks by a Japanese artist named Yoshiroro Nakamura that probably will never make it to a US release no matter how successful this one is.

...and now you know the rest of the story.

Your obedient servant,
MousePod

Disneyland Resort to 'Podcast' Launch of Its 50th Anniversary Celebration


ANAHEIM, Calif., May 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning Tuesday, May 3, Disneyland Resort will "podcast" three days of celebrity-filled festivities leading to the May 5 launch of the "Happiest Celebration on Earth," an 18-month global commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Disneyland in California that will simultaneously kick-off ceremonies at Disney parks around the world.

The innovative podcast represents the first time that any Disney theme park in the world will engage in the rapidly growing medium of podcasting. Podcasts are MP3 audio files that can be automatically downloaded to your personal computer and transferred to an iPod or other portable MP3 player.

The podcast will incorporate a collection of exclusive celebrity- interviews, music, historic anecdotes and live event coverage that convey the excitement of the event and the story of what has made Disneyland a national treasure over the past five decades. The podcasts will include behind the scenes interviews as well as audio content detailing the debut of exciting new entertainment spectaculars and groundbreaking adventures and attractions premiering at the Disneyland Resort as part of the 50th anniversary celebration.

Produced daily after the each day's events from Tuesday, May 3, through Thursday, May 5, this unique Internet-based show will be free and accessible to a global audience at: http://www.disneyland.com/podcast.

"Podcasting allows us to bring the magic of Disney and our 50th anniversary celebration to worldwide consumers through this exciting new medium," said Duncan Wardle, vice president of press and publicity, Disneyland Resort. "Through this truly cutting-edge technology we can literally bring the fun, magic and excitement of this global launch to Disney fans everywhere."

Podcast pioneer Michael W. Geoghegan will serve as host for the series. Geoghegan was an early adopter of the emerging technology and serves as host for several popular podcast shows.

The "Happiest Celebration on Earth" is highlighted by the premiere of exciting new entertainment spectaculars and innovative adventures and attractions at Disneyland Resort, California; Walt Disney World Resort, Florida; Tokyo Disney Resort, Japan; and Disneyland Resort Paris, France. Joining the celebration on September 12, 2005, will be Hong Kong Disneyland, Disney's 11th vacation destination and first theme park in China. The global celebration marks the largest debut of new Disney theme park attractions and entertainment ever unveiled.

Thanks for posting this, ML. I'm of mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I'm delighted that the Disney Co. has embraced such a new technology as podcasting - I obviously see the potential of the medium. On the other hand, I'm a little wary of the content that Disney is going to be putting out. The guys doing the podcast are cool and pop-culture savvy, but I'm thinking that this might wind up being a little infomercial-like (Don't ask if I'm jealous that these guys get the most amazing access - of course I am).

Anyway, I guess being unofficial has its benefits, and because of ridiculous demand, my show is going weekly as of last Wednesday. I guess I'll be checking out the official show along with everyone else. I'll post my reviews here and on my own show.

It's been less than a week, but MousePod #11 is up!

I've communicated with the producer of the official podcast, and I'm fairly certain it's going to be great - so for those of us who aren't going to be there this week, there'll be two very different perspectives to put us in the picture.

This show gives a little preview of the podcasts, answers last week's trivia question and presents a nifty little primer on pin collecting.

Hope you dig it.

I'm still working on number 10 - it's a long one! I absolutely adored the "Big Thunder" song. Those guys rock. Now I really want to do a poem/song for the 'pod.

OK... for those of us who aren't at Disneyland today, I just posted a short 8-minute MousePod. While the official Disneyland podcast and every major news outlet has all sorts of celebrity interviews, this is the only place where you'll get to hear your fellow LoTers telling it like it is.

Enjoy!

Thanks, Jesse! I especially enjoyed the John Stamos account- what a cool guy he is. That was a great thing for him to do.

The latest MousePod has been uploaded! It's a Special Edition featuring voices that some of you might find familiar. Very familiar.

Hope you dig it.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Wow! That was awesome! And I don't just mean my bits.

Listening to everyone's reports was fantastic. Great editing there, Jesse. The whole idea of having people leave messages was brilliant.

Everyone must download this and have a listen - it's quick a kick!
