DJ Readman History of Record Shop Series and More

Music is like fashion it comes round in circles. Over the last few months there has been a surge of songs in the 80s style and sound very authentic. I grew up in the 80s and its nice to hear new music emulate the style of the decade.  i have heard many styles and going to playing them more often. actually recreating the sound is not easy.  I am not talking about covering a song, this is recording a new song in the style of the 80s, which does have a unique sound. Whichever style it is it does not matter, what i have heard is really good. I will soon be covering this subject on a special radio show.... More soon

Many artists and radio presenter have Facebooks.  The only problem i found through someone that told me is that with an artist page, people can like the page, subscribe ( Whatever that means) and put photos up, but you can send out an event, which is a little stupid on part of Facebook. Then i thought, hold on, i have an ' Older' account, which used to be for Demand Records. I then remembered i had an old group, which i forgot i renamed.  I knew the logging in information for the account, but took me a while to find the group. The whole plan now and getting underway, is to make this page for Radio Show content through the galleries and the music i am recording with friend and poet from America, Gary Cornman I started this week, sorting the name out, which is a right pain. I found out you can't change the url of the account only the ' Name' so i am stuck with Demand Records in the title.   I could have scrapped it and started again, but i like the fact i am ...

Ever since i began radio, i wanted to upload the shows somewhere. Overtime, people have ask for them, either they couldn't make it or i just put them up the day after live broadcast What i used to do is just upload interviews and performances. I now upload the full uncut radio shows, no matter what is on them. I was on Soundcloud for a long period as it was the best way to upload in good quality and great embeded coding and app.  I still use podomatic, but i just left interviews on there as podomatic do not have an app yet. But now i have found mixcloud, which, for the first time i found a place you can upload via the net and people can listen on their smartphone. I do two shows a week 8-10pm on a Monday and Thursday evenings in Banbury, England I do this for free on net radio.   I have done Fm before, nice to hit car radios on an underground station and would be my dream job to present a radio show, PAID, but you never know I am always think of ways to improove the show...

Well, not famous, lol, but i love music. I do still get asked where my shop is and because of that i do Over the last 16 years i have sold, performed, written improved and created music. This all started in the mid 90s, no not the crazy 60s, not old enough, the 90s, well this is when i had grown up a bit in terms of human years. but it was the start of something I like being my own boss, but saying that is different from doing it, but we soldier on.  Opened up a record shop, oh yes, in town, had never done this before, but from a carboot background and being completely mad. joke, but close... i started.. dun, dun, duuuuuuuun. The basics of a shop is selling and buy. never had a till(Cash register in old speak) until a lot later, so it was all mental. Changing a ten pound note or a 20.  Not credit card machines just pure cash, thats what we like Now, this was before Facebook, feels like a stoneage before Facebook actually, about 10 years, 1994, had loads of music to sel...

My and my wife both love this TV series. The story at the beginning or the outline is that vampires are now able to come out of the dark due to the Chinese inventing synthetic blood.  This is bottled and sold in bars and allows them to drink in public. Buuuut as everyone knows from other vampire stories, many still want the taste of human blood. I don't like much TV, there is so much rubbish, its like, why bother.  Every now and again something comes along and you think wow, do they seriously make them like this anymore? True Blood is like the mature version of Buffy the vampire slayer( She gets mentioned in the series)  but instead of a vampire slayer, there is soockie( Anna Paquin( Xmen) as a waitress in a local bar with telepathic powers.( Read people)  This may sound a little cheese perhaps, but the location and the way things just come out of the screen and just shock you, it pretty unqiue and what drew me in I love vampirism, but the one thing that alwa...

Music World Radio I found, purely by chance via another station as i was just coming from.  At the time I had left a deck DJing station and i wanted to do more in broadcasting, others than mixing dance or drum & bass There is always a plan, a small outlined plan for every show.   I have two shows in one week and amazingly, looking back I have kept that up.  There is a feature or theme of some kind, but you always leave it open for more.  One of the major parts of the show is introducing bands, and solo artists to listeners live on air, either through Skype or in the same room. People like hearing me on the radio, I love broadcasting on the radio. I sort of do it my own way and bring different content to the audio stream.  Your mind starts turning and I see a TV without pictures. Music World Radio opened up many options. There are rules, that are understandable and you need them in some cases, but they never get in the way of crazy shows and yes the...
