DJ Readman History of Record Shop Series and More

As well as some great music, i will be talking about the vlondon meet up from Saturday 15th June. I have another lengthy blog about this and its faster to put up blogs than vlogs, although i love doing vlogs. Tonight on  Music World Radio   i will be talking about, the afternoon. Since my head is still spinning from it, it will be one of the topics.  I will be talking about it and play some audio at 8.30pm. I have audio from the meeting, which will be broadcast live on the show and end up on the podcast, which is just the show and as it was broadcast on , mixcloud Dj Readman Radio Variety Show

Among the Echoes Gig at the Flapper, Birmingham On August 17th,  me and Rhonda are attending the Among the Echos gig, at the Flappee in Birmingham. I thought, this time, lets have a chat with the band, The Frappe is right next to the canal.  We can sit outside, have a few beers and record an interview. I asked Ian, the front man, about doing a band interview at the gig. Broadcasting live It would be cool it broadcast the interview live on radio. Will have to see whether or not wifi is available and my phone is upto the task Prerecording This goes back before i did radio. When i ran a short lived printed magazine, i used to audio record interview with bands. If broadcasting live is not possible, then prerecording it will be. This will be audio ad video We shall find out and this will be vlogged in due course. vlogs take longer than blogging does Among the Echoes Live at the Flapper Birmingham Saturday, 17th August Tickets £5 To buy a ticket, go here Dj R...

Yesterday ( Saturday 15th June), me and my wife, Rhonda, returned to London after only going up there for my birthday to see the sights a last week. We went to meet, Chris Pirillo, whos American tech, geek guru if you will. He has a growing community through his company, Lockergnome and his main outreach, his Youtube channel of the same name. He just had a successful Vloggerfair in Seatle, U.S.A, which sold out.  Then he was part of Ungrounded Thinking, organised by British Airways( B.A) That was a  thinktank with 100 people from 15 countries bringing ideas to life on a plane( Simplified version).  Because of this is, he come to England for the first time, which was pretty cool. We thought, this would be the only time we would meet him in person for a least a year or more.  With that in mind, we made our way to Hyde Park from Banbury, on the train.  The meet was by the, Italian Fountains.  Chris is very down to earth and had a guide with him, Alah. ...

Video is growing ever more popular on the net, especially Youtube, being more of a social networking with vlogging. Chris Pirillo who just hosted the first ever Vloggerfair, in Seatle, U.S.A has spured me on to start again, creating vlogs and uploading good quality performances from radio shows I have been over this on channels so many times, stop, started, stop, started and i really got fed up with poor quality live streaming, which was the whole point at the time But, times roll on and now have a few more devices and ideas. One sticking area was reviewing digital music, which of course, there is no hard copy to show. I have now found a way round that problem ,so i can show something of the music. I attempt to do one take of most videos, probably most of them on my phone. I then transfer to the pc and upload.  At first HD, was what i wanted to upload in, but. oh lord, does it take ages to upload, even about 8 minutes of footage The new vlogs are going to be one take, so...

Song for the Rave Generation Take your mind back to the rave days, The Prodigy for one, or the Amen beat, which was used to death.  Although this is new tune, fresh beat, that has " Rave" written all over it WTM, is the new tune from Jet Noir. Talented producer and composer of the dark sounds.  This suprised me and i have many tunes by this female artist.  Like the diversity that she creates The beat on this is soft, not too hard, rolls, makes you jump( Get them glowsticks out ya draw), kind of like a blip element with a great punch. Accompanied by the synth under current and bassline, flying through like a Tron bike. When i first heard this, the earlier work of, The Prodigys, sprang to mind.  I am talking around the time of the Experience album, Outer Space, Rip up the Sound system, as well as the Bass heads, Is There Anybody Out There. I am not the only one who mentioned, Prodigy when i have spun it on the radio. Jets vocals fly in and complete th...

Star Trek: Into Darkness 3D Adventure Me and my wife, Rhonda, went to see this, at the, Oxford, Odean.  The reason we went to Oxford, was that the run at the, Banbury, Odean, had ended and the nearest was Oxford. Never been to the Odean at Oxford, before, turned out it had 6 screens. I have no idea about the other rooms, but screen room 3, felt and looked like a big living room.  Had i the choice, i would have gone to a multiplex, as i pay to see films in a cinema on a big screen. Credit to Banbury for keeping two larger screens The version we saw was 3D, and i was pleased that the 3D production was great throughout. I have seen bad 3D prints, but Star Trek was nice.  The film was fantasic in visuals and the cast is now growing into their roles. There was nothing wrong at all with the first film, but as always with different storylines, you are going to get different things from actors. J J Abrams did a fantasic job with Star Trek films.  The Storyline of ...
