Motorcycle Man

Morning everyone, This is the next song i am promoting inbetween cleaning and gardening and finding a job.   Motorcycle Man is the next after Pirates in My Sink that i recorded a few months ago and then unbeknown to me, i got sent a remix of it by local musician, The Strummer Room Project. He used my live acoustic recording of the song for the basis of the remix, without single files, which is interested...but many people like it. Since i got good feedback so far for my Halloween show trailer on Youtube as i used public Domain Footage, i thought i would do this for all my songs.  That being said, it takes time to trail though loads of films and trailers with no copyright.  What i have also done is contact this motorcyclist on Youtube, who has a lot of footage of motoring down highways on his bike. This is what i actually needed,  as most footage i come across either is not long enough, has website address splashed across them, even on Public Domain footage or the topic is not easy t

Modern Film Remakes, release the originals

Over the last 10 years, there has been a growing trend of filmremakes.  I have only i have seen was the Texas Chainsaw Massacure. This was before everyone caught the remake bug.  This remake was different in the fact some scenes were changed from the original, or should i say actions in the scenes. From when that was released until now, practically every classic horror film has been remade. Yes you have probably guessed it, so has Nightmare on Elm street, which is in my opinion the worst film crime ever. In general, lets take a look at why films get remake. If it was actors age?, take Footloose for example, the original was in the mid 80s and they remade and released that in 2011.  Is it because of the original cast are ageing and they suggest a film gets remade or another version of a new generation??  Me as a film fan, do not see the sense in remaking classics. Why don't companies, instead of throwing millions at directors to remake films, just remaster the original and rele

Bond, your time is up, move over for Mission Impossible

We have now got a Blueray player and for the first time watched a Blueray film we bought.  We have been wanting to see Mission Impossible 4 for a while as we have seen all the others and Mission Impossible 3 was shockingly good. It makes me wonder with the bond films, now, in the present time.  I have nothing against Daniel Craig, i liked Casino Royale, but i think James Bond franchise is losing steam a bit and something is missing We watched Mission Impossible 4 tonight and i am not comparing one against the other in terms of the older bond films here.  MI as films have only been in the film world since 1996. Its the more recent bond productions that am questioning.  You can almost guarantee a hit with Tom Cruise. When he releases another MI, you know your going to get entertainment and he never lets you down. Tom Cruise seems to know every move you want to see. There is never a dull moment, its intelligent in the way of actions scenes, many things are unexpected, which is rare i

Halloween Radio Special

Image
Since the dawn of broadcasting on Music World Radio, i had an idea to present a Halloween show. To stand up against the forces of good against the evil. This year, is no exception The Jingle We started a trend last years special with a original piece by Nothinglistic, which we will playing on this years show. We have a brand new Jingle to open this years show, by Texas electro producer. Chris Saffle The Video Last year we were lucky enough that Nothinglistic already had a video to accompany his song, but this year there was no video, so what to do??? Shooting original material is not easy and copyright on video is a nightmare, unless there are films that have no copyright.....then it hit me....public domain :) I am not the first person to think of this, but it seriously saves A LOT of time.  I have used clips from 4 filmes to make up the trailers. I credit the films and the source for which i find the material. Join us on Monday 29th October for our Halloween Special

Jet Noir

After finding the energy to get to the room and with the help music colaborator. Tony Mayo, we broadcast the first LIVE interview i have done with Jet Noir.  The lovely, yet professional, beautiful and intelligent, female Gothic, pop, Trance composer, from the county of, Oxfordshire, England I have known Jet for about 6 years and this is how i found out about her music. Due to phobias she does not venture out much.  But due to her growing popularity with her latest album, she really wanted to get out there As many probably know from her fantastic professional images on facebook, with a face like marble and a figure to die for she is a model, which in part has helped with music artwork. The chat was fantastic, talked about her new album, Emotional chess, about her progression from a Punk band to electro music, her writting and from demos to Mastering While we had the chance or more to the point, he grabbed the mic, Tony Mayo.  Other than associating the name, Naked Lunch, to t

View from the Outer Rim( New submission)

Image
Last week, we received through the digital post the new Ambient album by Electro pioneer, Lee Negin.  This is his brand new album on download only through CD baby called, View from the Outer Rim. This is on the pure experimental tip here, no pop music no other elements just pure colours for your ears. We will be playing random tracks throughout the weeks on my shows If your ears are tunned to the sound of manys sounds created by a man who has been creating these sounds since the late 60s, so you are always in for a treat, no matter what sounds he releases Lee Negin website

Video Interviews

Video interview is one of the areas of radio i have always wanted to do.  The problem is recording it and enough bandwidth for at least an hour as videos take up a lot more information through your router Google have come up with a video stream and you can record it at the same time and it goes straight onto Youtube.  The only two downsides, one ,the quality transfer is not 100% or not what i expected and the other, it takes up a lot of bandwidth. Having a live video interview no one will able to see live, unless they join Google hangouts, whihch is actually better that Skype.  We are going to try Hangouts at some point with a straight to Youtube interview. This will not be broadcast on Music World Radio or i would like to if it does not interfer with the stream running Video interviews are pretty cool, people who join in, get to see who writes and performs the music there are hearing and i just love the interviewing of band We will have to wait and see who this is going to ha

Remix competition

Yes, it's competition time....this time with a difference. I thought why not have a REMIX competition.  The prize is to replace the current jingle on my Radio Variety Show. I have two LIVE shows a week and all shows are podcasted on mixcloud In order to enter, all you have to do to is send an e-mail with your name, the subject is jingle remix competition and ask for the two guitar and vocals files which i have recorded for this competition. The song is called independents as its related to the show It does not matter what style or sound you record in, but of course there is only one winner. Deadline is 31st October and the competition show special is on Monday November 5th. This was thought up as people have been remixing the lyrics have been receiving from Gary Corman and my own writting and i thought, why not write a song and do it as a radio competition.

My Facebook old and groups

Like many musicians or radio presenters trying to do their bit to promote and radio play music, I have Facebook accounts.  I have got an account with two artists' pages, one for me and one of my online, Music Revolution Promotion.   The only problem with having an artists page I discovered is that, they are useless for sending out events.  This is mainly my radio show I event and when I have tried this, on my artist page, no one gets them...so what is the point in having that an artist page??? who knows.  Liking the page is ok, but you want to build up numbers so people can request....so with this in mind, I went back in time Old to new Facebook account I have another account. Thinking about it, I opened it after my current one, I thought it was before I have gone back to it before and changed it when I had my market stall, but this time I am staying online.  The other reason for changing is, that I did not know how to close it.  I call it recycling Facebook pages :)  What I hav

It is the season to be confused

This is not a history less, weeeeeeel it kind of is,lol When you come down to plain brass tacs, many events from September onwards are far from accurate.  Christmas is not what it used to be in terms of Father Christmas and the famous Christmas tree.  In fact its mainly made up from what it actually is supposed to be, the supposid birthday of Jesus, although many would question the date. Then there is Halloween, which is more accurate, yes, it is more accurate than Christmas.  I read up on this before now and although the origins have gradually become different, the clearing of evil spirits goes way back further than Christmas events pulled together. The original meaning of Halloween or Hallows eve, which is mainly to do with young girls throwing orange peal over their shoulder or onto the floor to determind if they would get married or something do with that. Full explanation here  or something along those lines. Although the evil spirits did not come until later, we are actually

Acoustic recordings

New Recordings I am recording again, did some yesterday, with one microphone and my guitar. Been a bit of a gap as concentrating on other things, but had time the day after band practice. The new song i have recorded is Where's My Vegetarian, which is a horror poem. The rerecording or another version of is Motorcycle Man, which again, one microphone recording.  Motorcycle Man has already had a remix by the Strummer Room Project, but thats not the two recording that as originally used Both are now up on Soundcloud The recordings I am going to start recording seperate track only as a member of Dog Food. Magick Temple jumped in to offer to do some remixes.  Its easier for a person to remix when the songs are recorded this way.  I will be recording Where's My Vegetarian is seperate parts for future remixes if and where they come up. Seperate files makes the recording a little clearer. I record the guitar first, then the vocal and it is possible to do this with one micro
