schizoid blog

Well, I’m at it again – can’t decide which one of the many WP themes to use for this blog. Again. How many times do I keep changing? I just can decide. Same with my website. Can never decide about the look of it and what to include. Anyway, trying to get the blog to look like the website or the website to look like the blog? Mr Elgey once told me to pay for some hosting and use WordPress for my site.  Maybe one day. Well, the website has now got a bit of a new look until I can decide what to include. So much for advising my stepson’s dad about how to market his painting and decorating business using the internet!

So, what else have I been upto recently? I’m trying to avoid all the usual Facebook toys and apps, but I’ve now got a “band” page, so hop on over and become a fan, and spread the word! I’ve also been working on another remix. This time it’s for International Observer. It’s due in soon, so I’m not going to tempt fate by saying what it’s called. I’ll announce it properly if Tom Bailey of International Observer and his label like and decide to release it.

I find it quite amusing that a lot of the hits on my blog come from people searching about kids using Facebook and how to put soundcloud tracks on wordpress blogs.

 

Become a fan on Facebook

I’ve just published my own music page on Facebook so if you like my tunes or want to spread the word, why not become a fan!

The golden age of infinite music

Just read this article on the BBC News website about how the future of music is changing

“We all know what the alleged future of music will look like. The record industry will be reduced to a smouldering ruin, the album replaced by endless individual songs and music rendered pretty much worthless by the fact that it’s universally free.”

There are more and more musicians  – like myself – who are abandoning making a physical product and putting their music out for free. However, I hope that some people are still going to make a record or a CD and that I’ll still be able to go into my local record store and handle a physical product instead of downloading some artwork on to my pc.

Ultravox covers competition

I’ve recently submitted a remix for the Ultravox Covers Competition on the official Ultravox website. Here’s a link to all of the tracks that were submitted, so have a listen to all of them – some good tunes from all the entrants. If you’re an Ultravox fan or a fan of 80s music in general, you’ll probably recognise most of them. “Vienna” is amongst the 80+ tracks. Have a listen and download some of the tracks – you’ll be surprised at how good they are….

Here’s the remix I did:

Ultravox – I Remember (gimme the money mix) – TB/mistrust remix
