An unusual update

Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you, we've finally managed to get a quick post in.

Last week we started working at Sony music and will be for here for several weeks. It's a pretty exciting project to be involved in and we're hoping that it'll be our first piece of work that really becomes big.

We'll try to provide a few updates.

Small Thought

Issues with iTunes made us think about how we listen to music these days. Apart from iTunes, we personally use Spotify, Deezer and The Hype Machine (The last being a personal favourite.)

So Hype Machine in particular has its own online feed of songs, which randomly generates new tracks that seem to relate to the popularity of each track in musical blog land. Which to us is awesome, as most of the people that write music blogs are the people that go to tiny gigs that you can't be bothered to attend. Then you get to sift through all their hard work for little musical nuggets, making you feel like your down with all the new music and before all the commercial hype and blah. Anyway, we digress.

Our point is that Spotify or preferably the Hype machine should broadcast on a digital frequency (If they do not already.) Thus allowing you to listen to the random stream of music whilst in your car or on your snazzy new iPod with it's in-built radio. Wouldn't that be ace, then the blogs would really get a following and build an even larger community. This might already exist, but if it doesn't then maybe we should make it happen. Any thoughts on this, let us know.

Verbals Picks

A quick one, just to promote our mate Chris. He blogs here, he's a film production grad with a love of music and other creative stuffs.He's a good source of music.

Our Mate Jeff

Whilst away at Bestival I went to see a artist by the name of Jeffrey Lewis (Pictures of Bestival and a post are to come, once photos are developed.) Not only was he a very cheerful guy, despite the rain. After his gig, he was then nice enough to step the other side of the barriers and stand in a huge wallow of muddy water and have a chat with us (Even if he was flogging his comics as well.)

So, I bought one of his comics, which is actually rather neat, some nice stories and for only three of our great British pounds. The main reason I'm writing this post is out of respect, for a man whom still is down to earth enough to speak to everyone and write comics that have a real heart and soul to them.

Not to mention, his illustration is damn hot. Check him out.
