You called? I'll have to go to the bank and get a mortgage on a new garden shed first and borrow some equipment. Funnily enough, the all new 8Radio.com looks in the back window of the old Phantom pirate studio on Wexford Street (now Whelan's acoustic venue). The slow, painful death of Phantom...

The Forget me nots! Jaysus, the memories. If anyone has that single let me know, used to have it myself but long gone. Right, looking for tracks like Asterix - Laura Loves, La Rocca, Blue in Heaven and The Last Post. Put a few more into the playlist this weekend, heard Revelino earlier on...

Got a great selection via MP3 and Dropbox in the past couple of days. About 60 tunes from Joan of Arse to Damien Dempsey via Interference, the Plague Monkeys, Fatima Mansions/Microdisney and Watercress. Some quality stuff in there. Simon

Got a fair few bits in via email over the past 24 hours and found a decent handful but also spent too much time trawling through http://irishmusicdb.com/ and found yet more lost artists! Will report back with a list of what I have at the weekend. In the meantime, feel free to dig out any...

Hello all, Jaysus I haven't posted on Thumped in a while. So as Pete says, I'm one of the three principals behind 8Radio.com. We're on FM for 15 weekends in Dublin (94.3), Cork (106.7) and Limerick (105.5) and online all the time via the whole apps and directories business. Two quick...

Sadly my words above are the words of a pale nerd who knows about computers and not those of a hot producer. The shame. Simon

Just on the topic of interweb, there really shouldnt be any trouble with it (except firewalls and all that stuff). There are now four feeds - a broadband Winamp/VLC and WMP feed and 48k versions of both. The WMP port is often blocked on company networks but apparently, the computer boffins...

Roxy is spot on, its all part of the licence. Basically every Independent station in the country licenced by the BCI is contracted to provide 20% news and current affairs coverage in its broadcast day. The science bit of this is that Phantom have to broadcast 216 minutes of news and current...

Yep its spam, but someone might be interested. Feel free to shift the thread to wheverver its supposed to live. All this week on Phantom Daily we are giving one day worth of recording time in AP Studios A.P. Studios is a unique recording studio located in Sandyford, Dublin 18. They have:-...

Looks like Im going to have to....they have a big cardboard box for now and some old tshirts to sleep on. They may or may not get a more permanent structure tomorrow. Gorillamunch, thanks for the link, some very interesting reading there. Going to contact them and see. And yes Pete, Im in...

Cats eh? Well, there's this cat that definitely doesnt live in my back garden and definitely doesnt get fed every day by a mystery person and definitely doesnt have a shelter in the garden to protect her from the rain. Definitely not. Well, this cat who doesnt get fed etc turned up as usual...

Jaysus I need to visit Thumped more often. Nice rumour though. Groundless, but nice. Everyone knows its Tony Fenton whos coming to work on Phantom. Hey hey and so on. Pete Reed

Apologies then Pantone247, I take back my previous grumpiness :) Pete Reed

Re: Boards.ie Criticisms of Oxegen removed Nothin personal lads, but thats just bollox. Please excuse the language. Im not going to (yet again) get into the whole sell out argument thing here but just to clarify regarding the temp broadcasts, we had sponsorship from MCD, Aikens and numerous...
