Around the Horn Acappellablog announces a 2010 ICCA bracket, LA-AF is the place to be and it’s coming up soon!, Mike Boxer releases the all-Jewish The KolCast, Euphonism releases EP Scene Stealers, Kettering Fairmont HS is seeking a headliner for their 2010 A Cappella Festival, advertisers love aca, AP piece on Straight No Chaser’s success, Pitch Perfect blog interviews Glee studio singer Chris Mann, Primarily A Cappella re-launches Primarily A Cappella Radio, Tunes to Teens is giving CDs away to people who help them give away CDs to middle- and high-school choirs.
LOL Aussie group Suade has Christopher laughing out loud with the song “Singin’ in My Underwear” from their all-original album Home Brew.
New segment! Five Minutes With… Alex Green. Dave sits down with aca mover and/or shaker and Christopher’s vocal boyfriend Alex Green from the Tufts Amalgamates, and the two chat up the group’s recent “teaser” recording release called Teaser, their pick for sing six: sunny-side up, lessons from the Soup2Nuts seminar, The Sing-Off, and Alex’s musical plans for the future. AND A FREE GIVEAWAY JUST FOR MOUTH OFF LISTENERS.
New segment! Praisacappella Christopher finds great inspiration from Stanford’s co-ed faith-based group Testimony. Their song “Dead Man” (opb Jars of Clay) from their album When You Say Go is good art with a good message.
Album Review Riltons Vänner is not only gorgeous, but their half-new release Japanmix is making waves well beyond Asia. Christopher thinks it’s sheer perfection, and he’s dead yet again. Dave thinks it’s beautiful, but not that repeatable.

So Loz called, and it turns out Christopher was saying it right. Well I’ll be.

Unwise for you to introduce Primarily A Cappella Radio to me. I’m obsessed and have already purchased two new albums off of iTunes because of it. I’m going to go broke here!
Seriously….24/7 aca-radio? Are we trying to make me lose my desk job?
Haha there are several 24/7 aca radio sites out there. They’ve come and gone over the years. But with this new generation of aca heads (AHEM), maybe this one will last a bit better.

Christopher, if you want to buy that album for me, go right ahead.
But you have to know that Dave already convinced me to get it on iTunes by playing the clip from ‘En tyst minut’. I have a guilty love of sountrack-ey, new-agey soundscapes. I play them when I’m at work and need some music but can’t be distracted from the task at hand. And -that- track is going right into the playlist. I need more a cappella like that. Because listening to the acaplaylists means I’m too busy listening and getting frantic emails from my boss wondering why I’m not getting things done.
And Christopher, when you put out the All Christopher Diaz, multigroup compilation album, with tracks in swedish, finnish, italian, and english, send me a copy. Because dude, I want your plan to work out as much as you dol; it sounds awesome, and they all sound awesome, and I want one giant sing-off style group number with al of them just pouring our golden liquid notes and vibrant stinging rhythms.
Yeah.
