When I had hard drive problems recently and had to restore all my music library from a backup, I only had backups of the actual tracks and not all the associated itunes stuff. This means I lost most of my album artwork and things! Annoyingly itunes w...

Obama mix free mp3

Get it here, not heard it yet, but I think I'd urge people to vote Obama anyway. I'm not sitting on the fence like KISS. It's obviously not my call, but how often has the Conservative candidate been the better choice?That link courtesy of billy squie...

Hot Leg Review - first Hot Leg Review EVER?

Was as we expected, maybe hotter, certainly smellier than I would have liked. We spent the evening secretly wishing they would play some songs that we knew - not necessarily Darkness songs, but maybe some cheeky covers, tipping their hat to their ref...

PHREADZ podcast

Well sort of. Some of the content from Kosso's phreadz.com is also available in MP4 format, which is kind of handy for ipod video. So I'm hoping this feed will populate my ipod with the fascinating conversations these guys are having. Only some of th...

Hot Leg

Hey the free MP3 of Hot Leg is pretty good! You can get it from Hot Leg's myspace page. Got tickets for the gig now, looking forward to it! Time for the country mice's biannual trip to the big city!...

Today I invented a brilliant new thing, called "podcasts"

Was surfing for news of Kid Rock yesterday, as a friend has been working with him and I was wondering if she'd show up in any paparazzi shots of him stumbling out of nightclubs or anything. No joy there, but he was interviewed by the Guardian yesterd...

Strange time travel

As previously possibly mentioned, I am listening to old Mark Radcliffe radio shows, on the mp3. Just listened to the last ever graveyard shift show on Radio One, and then (in exactly the wrong order) the first ever graveyard shift show from 1993. And...

Remembering XFM

Was surprised earlier to realise that the original XFM only lasted for about a year, before being shut down and messed up by Capital. Yes we've been listening to more Ricky Gervais, still haven't found any really early shows. I'll post up a list of w...

Nice site

I think I have all the shows you have there, on mp3.It feels like XFM lasted for more than a year first time around, I lived in London then and it seems like we used to listen to Ricky every day. Even when he didn't have his own show, he cropped up o...

RE: Ricky Gervais XFM radio show MP3s

The earliest available recording is indeed from the 10th November 2001 although this has never been on the XFM website. The earliest show they've ever made available was from 12th January 2002.The Ricky Gervais Show started in September 2001, the fir...

Ricky Gervais XFM radio show MP3s

Do you have any? Been listening to lots of Ricky Gervais recently, old radio shows from XFM, and they're great (if repetitive). Now we want more, and we want earlier. The oldest show we have is from November 10th 2001, which I think was an officially...

Download it from XFM, all proper MP3s and everything.Free is the new black.UPDATE: It's not that good, as with every Charlatans tune ever, it's hugely er "influenced by" other people's work....

"Caught By The Fuzz" for the "Who were Supergrass, Grandad?" generation

Lethal Bizzle's "Police On My Back" is a bit flippin' good isn't it? Who says I don't like new music, because I've listened to new music before and it's all rubbish? Oh, that'd be me.Also this week, I am listening to Suede rarities and bootlegs and t...

Oh yes, I just noticed an enormous traffic spike

I must have submit my rss to podcast.com a while ago when I posted some mp3's... you want to be filtering out the feeds you use, looking to see if they really do have enclosures of the right type.Or maybe I should look at my feed, I think I probably ...

RE: Glastonbury ticket touts FOILED!

I think their argument would be "to cover the inevitable piracy" but I'm with you - the less the charge for tracks the less people would bother to pirate them. If they can get down to somewhere between 15-30p per track they'd make a mint. Why would...

Glastonbury ticket touts FOILED!

So says the BBC, the new security measures and pre-registration mean no Glastonbury tickets on ebay, nor on any of the other online ticket touts.In other music news today, EMI are to remove DRM from MP3s, you know what those TLAs mean if you need to....

Separated at birth

Can't remember if I always thought this, or if it just occurred to me, but have a listen to the only good song by My Life Story, and then go back back far back to Fun Boy Three's Tunnel Of Love. Is one of them a cover of the other or what? I wish I h...

How I am the best at IPOD / genres / tagging / etc...

A valued chum just posed these questions by email, and it fired me off in a huge response, so I thought I'd whack it up here too...1. When you have a CD what are you using to rip the CD, what bitrate and what codec are you using?2. what is the minimu...

Cute thing, they incorporate the features of the styles I love most of all. But I also think, kinda jazz revival.Really appreciate your review!Always search the web for it jazz mp3 is a site where one can compile perfect playlists. A cushy spot for ...

Justin, NO!

Not only did my spy at the Eurovision launch today inform me that Justin Hawkins is competing to be the UK entry, but now I've been sent a fairly cheesy pop duet that he's done. It's with Beverley someone, that's all I know so far, more news on furth...

Radio drama

Here's that radio drama I mentioned last week, it's a 7meg download. It's rubbish, but if you're subscribed to here via the medium of RSS, you might get it downloaded automatically podcast stylee.I'm still having trouble getting this working on vario...

Thursday morning roundup

Just caught the end of something on BBC Breakfast, advice on blogging and work, or why not to blog about work, something like that. A few sites / posts were held up as bad examples, I wasn't one of them, it was all fairly basic stuff:* Don't be posti...

How irresponsible are Amazon right now? They're advertising this 'domestic' high pressure washer (400 litres per hour) and this upright high pressure washer (530 litres per hour) on their home and garden homepage. I went there looking for things to a...

We don't really go out any more

Another smashing weekend, is it time for the next one yet? Saturday I played with the computer most of the day. Had no joy fitting the old big hard drive full of MP3s into the new computer, all the technology is different, the drive is SATA now so I'...

Just five more minutes

Went for quick drinks to a popbitch party yesterday at The Player, it's cool there, and the cocktails were free. Stayed up a bit too late at home also, so feeling like RUBBISH today. Early to bed tonight.My ajax scripts have been running across all p...

Popex redesign

Was planning to have my redesign of popex live today, but there are 8 minutes to go before I leave, and it's not ready, had all sorts of computer issues today... do I hurl it live before five? I think that's the best way, pick up the pieces after the...
