The Information Generation

Happy EP and other stories
The remix I did for Warp Technique is out on April 25th, 2011, on Dubmission Records. It’s called “Nowhere Dub (mistrust remix)” and is available on all the major music download sites. The track is part of the “Happy EP”, which is the final release from the band’s “Make Animals Happy” album. The full track...
2010 Round-up
I just thought I’d round up all the “mistrust” highs and lows of 2011 – more a way of documenting what’s gone on music-wise for me than anything else. It’s not a massive list, but following the advice of Jasper from Dubmission Records, I tried to make 2010 a better year than 2009…. So, what...

Ten interesting things
Ten interesting things? I’ve changed my blog theme again. I’m now using the Twenty Ten 1.1 WordPress theme. Why change it? The Revolt Basic theme was ok, but I was sick of not having sidebars that I could post links in. I’ve closed most of the reader comments on my blog. This is because lots...
Soundcloud, Myspace and Facebook
There’s a lot of good music on Soundcloud these days, and it makes me wonder whether your average music lover is heading over there to listen to their favourite band and find their latest tracks, rather than going to Myspace. When I first started putting my own music online, it was Myspace where I got...
10 things I learned this week
Ten things I’ve learned this week: 1. For some reason, Yahoo wants to access my Facebook chat, in return for allowing me to share my Flickr photos on my Facebook profile. 2. The Akai LPK-25 mini midi controller keyboard will come in very handy if your playing technique is a good as mine! 3. Someone...

ConDem Nation
So, the United Kingdom has a new Government. A new start, or so we’re told. New beginnings, and all that nonsense. The wags in the media as using the title “ConDem” for the new coalition between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, and others have suggested that we’re now living in “ConDem Nation”. I know that...
Getting a Number 1 Hit with a Facebook campaign
So, Ultravox didn’t make it to Number 1 in the UK top 40 singles charts with their single “Vienna”. The song didn’t even reach the top 100. Did anyone think it might, especially as the song is nearly 30 years old? Well, a lot of people did, especially those people who were involved in the...
