Dark Compass

This week, some really old re-discovered tracks, and of course some new ones. Suspension of accounts at Mevio, not just effecting me but a lot of other podcasters, and how I got through the anger to a karmic state with the help of Hitler.
I’m in print with a new book coming out for musicians called “Learn the right way to Get Played on Radios”, from Beathouse, I interview one of the authors Ian, who was in Switzerland, coping with temperatures below -20c. Thanks to him. If all has gone to plan, the show is now hosted at The Internet Archive, and there should be no distruption of service to you, our valued listener.

This week, dull and not feeling great, no sleep, wanting the summer. Glitter Tweet a fake, a social exercise apparently. New Zealand Girl sells space on bottom for tattoo, and makes reserve! More thoughts on IPTV and Netflix/Lovefilm. Beach Volleyball the most popular sport for UK politians for Olympics, but no sand on the Thames, and Porn industry fined for not supplying staff with condoms. Protective equipment is a must, and new ride a little too dangerous when test dummies return with no limbs!

This week, fixing things, and having a good feeling about it. Sopa and Pipa, policies against piracy, but effects liberties. The capsized cruiseliner and the stupid captain, Choking yourself to get a fix?, how screwed up is that? Famous kiddie fiddler, Gary Glitter announces come back tour. Netflix launches in the UK, much disappointment, and Ed Sherran up for lots of Brit Awards, good luck to him.

This week, broken things, manic things, dripping things. But we should chill with some great tunes. MusicPodcasting is not dead, it just redirects funny. Ted Nugent for President, and No Doubts Twitter Feed hacked to endorse Ron Paul? Why?. UK usage of twitter low in the UK over Facebook, which explain why there was no ticks against it on my poll last week. Tony Iommi diagnosed with Cancer. Get well soon! and HMV struggling after christmas results are in.

Update
Just I was uploading this MusicPodcasting.org returned to normality.

This week, Back from the holiday break with added lethargy. So many social networks, so little time. I want you to help me there. Not doing any more movie reviews and comments, my mate Colin now has that covered. File Sharing now a religion, CD Sales down, download sales up, more people getting music legally now, and Bono’s busking days are over. Draw for prizes drawn, and the winners are enclosed.

This week, DarkCompass is now 7 years old (14th December 2004 I started doing this), The Last few days to get your show 500 suggestions in. Reznor for Oscars again?, Xfactor ratings drop, down by 4 million on the final, but Nirvana! People are not interested anymore, they want to consume other stuff, but not by Smart TV, which will be the next thing. Replaced iphone again. More and more Verhoven remakes on the horizon, this time Starship Troopers? Why – the original is classic. Discuss.
