Just thought I'd share this...it's a Captain Beefheart inspired homage to Graham Taylor called "Do I Not Like That": http://www.archive.org/details/DoINotLikeThat-ThePlattyMix funny.

Well said. My own take on it is that people are consuming more music than they used to...but, the amount of money they spend on music has dipped. i.e. every downloaded freebie mp3 is not a sale lost. In other words, if illegal downloads stopped tomorrow, music sales wouldn't suddenly jump to...

Fair point. On a positive note, I suppose the iPhone will be very useful when out and about....the iphone serves as a perfect and very visible warning sign to avoid talking to intellectually challenged idiots or iLemmings.

No I didn't and you make a very good point. Shame on me. Minor pedantic note though: iphone users don't own the iphone. Apple does. That is despite people paying through the nostril for it and then paying through the other nostril for another 2 years because you're locked into a 2 year telco...

I know people who buy iphones are probably dumb, subscribe to the paris hilton school of sensibilities & self-esteem and probably deserve sympathy...but, I cannot think of a more annoying icon of materialism in contemporary culture. just sayin, like.

They just published those results...interesting stuff. £3.88 was the average and the irish come out of it okay with an average of £4.45. http://www.whatpricedidyouchoose.com/survey_results the survey got 5,000 submissions so it's only a rough guide more than anything else. Particularly liked...

if you chop them up and put them in a king size packet of cheese n onion tayto and provide a bottle of red lemonade to wash it all down, I might consider it.

YouTube - James Oddo - Get the f*** out of my office Youtube clip of a US politician getting so wound up by a cute norwegian blonde he threatens to, ahem, 'kick the fucking shit out of them' (them being the film crew + norwegian blonds) and tells them, on numerous occasions to 'get the fuck out...

totally agree re: Nick Drake. Anyone spot the nod to "Shes A Rainbow" by the Stones? heard a news report about the http://www.whatpricedidyouchoose.com In Rainbows price survey yesterday on the BBC (5 Live) . Paul Scaife, from Record of the Day was interviewed and he said that the average...

It's plausible that warners might be bidding for the license for In Rainbows the (traditional) CD version...which is due out early 2008 apparantly. The general rule of licensing thumb is that Warners are great for the USA. not so good uk/europe and it's the opposite for EMI. Although, I'm not...

culture isn't something you can acculturate, as you put it. cultures evolve and falling into the same trap the British did would be a disaster. They started faffing about with the whole "who are we?", "what does it mean to be British?" etcetera. Can you imagine Irish politicans and civic...

There's a small poll here: (only a few hundred people voted so far) http://polls.gawker.com/?key==EzN4MTM Anyone know how to setup a poll on thumped? It would be interesting to see what people choose.

Yep. It certainly looks like it. Although, I'm not sure why there is such a long gap between the 10th oct. and a regular physical CD version being 'available in the shops' (2008). I don't think that means the discbox, it sounds like just a regular cd. Something for the labels to squabble...

yeah..that's a lot of bonus tracks...if they had of kept it to 7 it would have fit with the "Rainbow" title... Here's the full press release according to Record of the Day: http://www.recordoftheday.com/cgi-bin/content.cgi?page=weblog PRE-ORDERS NOW UNDERWAY FOR THE SPECIAL EDITION BOX-SET...

Not exactly my favs..but, the songbird browser is the dogs bollox for surfing music blogs. http://www.songbirdnest.com/ (I've nuffing to do with them..it's a freebie like firefox that is designed specifically for surfing music/media sites) Anyway..here's my favs that I don't think have been...

Just updating this thread with news about how Radiohead are launching their new album... ------------------------------------------- From midnight (30th sept), Radiohead's new album is available to pre-order exclusively from www.radiohead.com You can buy the DISCBOX or the DOWNLOAD. The...

I don't have an answer on cost (It's a piece of string stuff with designers). I work with small labels and for a few years we used to get very uptight about the website designs and usually spent/wasted a lot of money on something that looked out of date within a few months. I'm not saying...

Not sure about eclipse, but, I'm hearing good things about Drupal especially if the sites are music related or social networking http://www.drupal.org well worth a glance. it's open source.

hmmm..iI hope you're not one of those apple lemmings/trolls who can't handle it when someone mentions anything mildly critical of the billion dollar corporation. I openly admit there's a certain schadenfreude watching iPhone customers demand a 'stupid tax' for paying way over the odds when it...

YEAH! There was a guy standing not too far away from me at a jinx lennon gig recently and I was gobsmacked that he was singing along...he knew every fucking word. Respect.
