Excellent, ecclectic radioshow, available as a podcast. I've been downloading it, burning a CD and playing it in the car. Great way to find new sounds.

She is at most gigs that i go to. She goes to 5 gigs a week, truely hardcore! I've found quite a few artists from her reviews and photography exploits, and youtube links. Excellent live photographer.

Excellent podcasts. Streaming and download...A vinyl theme is present, which is quite ironic as we stream it digitally?
I write dark acoustic songs with an ambient edge bridging the territories of Joni Mitchell, dead can dance, Brendan Perry and Eno.
I have spent the last 4 years in bed with M.E. doing a Brian Wilson impression, but without the drugs, money or kudos. I am just beginning to start recording music again, and have just performed my first London gig in 5 years due to my M.E.
The truth about what happened behind the scene of Channel 4s mobile unsigned music program which aired recently. How Jo Whiley and Polydor forced the bands to sign unfair contracts, and what happended to the band that stood their ground. This is an article by Envy and other sins, who won the competition.
I always thought that Jo Whiley was the anti-christ for playing such joys as Scouting for girls, but this shows her in a new light. Kind of musical taste of a 60 year old grandmother of 5, living of benifits in crewe has always been apparent, but to be a part of such insidious skulduggery is totally unacceptable Envy and Other Sins article in Drowned in sound

Ever wondered why some artists get tipped for the top in 2009 bright new things? How does the music hype machine really work?
Artist house music is the most amazing music website i have come across. From self promotion, to recording to agents, to lawyers, to copyright. Totally comprehensive and free. Hundreds of video clips from established artists and industry insiders. It is simply a free education of the music industry. I wish i had found this site when i was 16... Well they didn't have internet then, but you get my point... This site is vital if you do music in any capacity ARTIST HOUSE MUSIC
The truth about loading your songs onto I-Tunes and other aggregaters. Interesting article by journalist Rhodri Marsden, who recorded a song and made a video as part of an article for a newspaper. He ended up being most played video on you tube. Guess how many downloads he sold Rhodri Marsden (Bit of a plum but interesing read)

....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our second official LP release...
"Modern Mediaeval" is the third LP from singer-songwriter DAVID GARSIDE, and the first to receive the full Frizz Records vinyl treatment. It’s also clearly the most fully-realised statement of his distinctive vision so far…
It’s an easy route to locate David in the tradition of his ‘classic’ influences (McCartney, Nick Drake, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, The Beach Boys, Love, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, Dexy’s…), but there are few songwriters working today that have absorbed these influences so fully, and arrived at a mature style as David has…
This is ’singer-songwriter’ music in the sense that it’s focus is on song-craft and the unfolding of the lyrical vision of a single individual, but if so then it’s definitely at the sophisticated end of the scale (’progressive’ if that term isn’t too loaded…), filed alongside ‘Bryter Layter’, ‘The Hissing Of Summer Lawns’, ‘Pretzel Logic’ or ‘Surf’s Up’...another FRIZZ RECORDS instant classic!
"Modern Mediaeval" can be downloaded from the iTunes Store
The album is also available on heavyweight vinyl LP, or on Digipack CD from www.FrizzRecords.com & all good retailers
....FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our first official LP release...
"It's Not The Wand, It's The Magic" is the debut release from AUGUST, the London based band centred around the songwriting partnership between vocalist VEDINA MOSE and multi-instrumentalist / producer RAPHAEL MANN (MR HUDSON / JOY JOSEPH / ART TERRY), with master drummer CLEAN CUT MARK and clarinetist / vocalist MAREE CHOIE completing the core line-up, and a supporting cast including ART TERRY (keyboards), SHOHEI KAWAMOTO (AKA Japanese producer Baraki, Bass clarinet, soprano sax and flute), and KAI HOFFMAN (French horn)
Always an act that juggled a diverse set of influences, the album has been compared to artists as diverse as KATE BUSH, PRINCE, DE LA SOUL, SLY STONE, MADLIB, SERGE GAINSBOURG and THE DELFONICS, for its concoction of wild experimentation and traditional song craft, organic production and futuristic electronic touches, funk bass & drums and jazz & orchestral references, infectious melodies and lyrical flights of fancy...with nods towards classic soul, JB funk, Studio One, 60s pop, psychedelia, left field hip hop, new wave, doo wop, tropicalia, high life, & avant garde jazz, without any song ever fitting squarely into any of those categories...new music, basically...and an instant classic!
"It's Not The Wand, It's The Magic" can be downloaded now from the iTunes Store
The album is also available on heavyweight vinyl LP in a sumptuous gatefold sleeve, or on Digipack CD from www.FrizzRecords.com & all good retailers
