When I was young, this was the song that I would say to the girls was ours... it is also quite good

There is an interesting music experiment / business model, going on at we7, a site backed by Peter Gabriel and others. The premise is that you get free music downloads, if you accept a short, and I mean short, ad at the beginning of the track. After 20 days you can also get the track without the ad on it too.

Certainly seems worth a look, there isn't too much music on there at the moment, but I'm sure the more people log on and sign up, the more music will come along. As I said there isn't much on there but within a short while i had already reached my download quota for the day.

One cool feature of it is to create a playlist that you can then subscribe to via iTunes. A very interesting, and hopefully, successful venture. I'm certainly backing it.

It would seem a little strange to put up a list of resolutions for the year... why... I hear you ask? Well quite simply I have had a list of goals and dreams on 43things for a while now. So anything I would write would have been written there already. I suppose there are a couple of goals that I want to achieve this year specifically and they are to do more art (digital and trad media) and to record an albums worth of music.

So if anything, they are the two resolutions for the year, the flipside of them is to say that in 2008, I will not procrastinate and simply do nothing.

Yeah sure

Alright I am a fan but I just had to share this with you all. Added to that is the fact that I haven't posted here for a while, and if there is anything guaranteed to provoke debate is something subjective.

Anyway, the band is the cardiacs, The video is here and the audio is here well it would be if I could sort out the stupid mp3 encoding. If you like it buy it.

Then you just have to go and visit this. Here you'll find the wonderful mash album Stuck in the Eighties. It is really good, and I recommend listening to it as a whole album as that was the way it was put together - the tracks go well together, even if not mixed into one another. Hope you like it, grab it while you can.

I have been very bsy this week and actually every week it seems. I am always complaining that I am not getting done what I would like to do, and this week has been no different. However, I sat down last night after spending a couple of hours on the PC creating some music and realised thast over the last few weeks I have created about three to four basic tracks. Now these are nowhere near being ready to greet the general public but I was simply stunned by how far I had got. Perhaps i am not as busy as I think I am eg too busy to do what I want to do. Anyhow, I'll post the tracks here as soon as they are reasonably ready (Elcetro boy returns again LOL)

In other news I am still hoping to get to take my six weeks sabbatical in Jnauary, which means from the end of next week, I'll be off work for almost two months - now that sounds good, but I am not holding my breath yet, a lot to do before then.
