I just stumbled upon this video shot and created by Leon at Patrick Kavanaghs in Moseley…The video reminded me of the argument held about the noise with the management (watch out for the very angry man). Needless to say they didn’t ask us to return.
Sorry PK.
Little Chris, host of the Brumcast, talks about his podcast featuring the best of Birmingham music. An insightful interview and well worth watching.
October 07 saw the re-release of the dubreq Stylophone made famous by Rolf Harris, David Bowie and more recently Orbital…This is pretty exciting news for those interested in a bit of nostalgic electronic noodling.
You can find out a bit more info at: http://www.dubreq.co.uk or buy yourself one for the reasonable sum of £20 here. Happy bleeping.
Matt Price has made me aware of a lovely review of the Binary Oppositions album, however I have also found out that it is now sold out. So you may well have missed out on owning the hottest bit of Brum action going…
Anyway have a read of: http://www.losingtoday.com/reviews.php?review_id=4316 . It is very good indeed.
I have recently been made away if TuneCore , which allows you to set up your music for sale through i-tunes and other online sellers…
The beauty of the service is that submitting your music costs a flat fee of $0.99 per track, which works out at about 60p after exchange. Once the music is available all of the royalties are paid to the submitter – unlike many other similar services which take a percentage.
TuneCore have Non-Exclusive rights to distribute your material, which means that you can continue to release the music on other formats which is great news if you are already running a small indie label. There is a danger as an artist however that record labels may not want to work with material you have submitted through TuneCore being as they often like exclusive rights and may already have channels to distribute digital music. But if you plan to go it alone, this is of no real concern.
To get started you can set up an account for free which will help you understand how the service operates and it is worth taking the time to read the full terms and conditions. So far I have only set up a free account, but do intend to use this service for the release of some future Arcade material, so when I do I will report back my findings.
