DJ Readman History of Record Shop Series and More

Created in 2012 to highlight an album from an artists on every show thoughout a month The original idea was to play one opening the show, but i thought that might get confusing and i love my jingle opening the show ;) Then, i thought, why not have music under segments i talk, which i had never done before, although, i have heard it done by other people. Over a year now, i have been choosing an album, for the most part, from one i have had from band I play two songs, mostly in album order on each show. I play one opening the show, after the jingle. Then a second song i play, under the " Voiceover segments" That song is then played in full at the end of the show June 2014 The next band, which i bought the album from, are from Daventry, England. There are a Poprock band, who have been gigging very hard made a lot of effort in their album release. I have interviewed them as a duo and as a band and i have broadcast them live and recorded footage The band is SILVERSPARK an...

No, doing a cover of  Chain Reaction by Diana Ross?, damn :( interesting if they did though. Thats the thought i had looking at the back of the CD album sleeve of the new album by California Rockers, Prey on the Fallen. I have been a fan of Rock for many years and finding quality around is no easy task. I got sent this album by the band and only heard, Shermans March, which was sent to me by their Publicist, Yvonne Laughin . The album could be have been, well not great and all,  but, i am reviewing for a reason, or five This is highly polished release, full of great rock songs. Flows very well. Starts with the title song, and the album title, Prey on the Fallen, goes straight into "Guitar attack" mode, they don't mess about.  Not suprising this was released as a single, Shermans March, great song, can easily be mainstream, with the rifts and the lyrics I love the opening to Last Breathe, i like the pace and yet, what appears to be, what could be another mainstre...

I like this kind of Pop Rock sound. This is the first full length album, since Silverspark have become four members.  They have recorded before as duo on various instruments with their previous ep, Light the Fuse.  With this album, they took the " Naked Lunch " direction, i call it. As well as writting new songs and recordings that have been floaring around, they have gone back to the previous ep and rerecorded tracks from the previous ep, with the full band. Something About You and By the Fireplace have been rerecorded. The songs that have been floating around performances and radio shows are, The Thief, Don't Bring me Down and Dangerous Game.  Coming Home, Smokin Gun and One Way Street, are the newest songs ( Coming home i am not sure of). The only strange part is the first drum segment on, Before the Shadows Play. It sounds as though they took the treble off and added an effect to make the drums seem distant? Its only on that segment and on no other part of tha...

Since my next broadcast is a week away, due to the new broadband being activated, i thought i would mention some artists that i have received, that i am going to play As follows.... From Russia, Frozen Ocean Solo artists, blending a sound of metal and ambient. The new album, The Mysterious                                                                     Official website From Daventry England, Silverspark I bought the CD ( I love hard copies). This one is Pop Rock with a fabulous vocals by Carley Phillips From Pennsylvania, U.S.A , Saraphine Some thrash metal from the states, bought to my attention by  Jeff Brandyberry of Dimished Pitch Entertainment Facebook To Poland and all female Punk band, Brains All Gone                       ...

You may ask," Your talking a lot about your vlogs, what about your live broadcasts"? ;) One thing that is irritating at the moment, is the activation of my new broadband connection. I am no longer with AOL, i have turned to Sky, after 16 years.  It was time for a change. You need a decent and stable net connection to maintain a stream. At the moment, i am connected with my phone, which is fine for recording videos and the uploading speed, which is suprisingly good. However the stream and download is pretty bad, reason i am unable to broadcasting until 16th May 2014. I will be continuing with a special radio show, which is will be the first in my new HQ Obviously there are more outgoing costs now, broadband, electric are the main two Feel free to donate to the ongoing cause Just goto Paypal and enter this e-mail coolmusicrevolution@hotmail.com  Any amount is good, it helps towards costs and equipmemt replacement/or repairs. Radio show is all outgoing, there i...

Taking Shape As per my previous blog, i have moved to a flat in the same town Link to blog  No broadband It turns out that getting the, Sky Router, is taking longer than expected.  I have my phone, and thanks to the io7 update (I think), , I can tether via wifi, not the battery zapping, Bluetooth, which I have never liked, for net connection. General Radio Variety Show Content This, of course, continues. I love broadcasting and uploading videos. This, of course, takes time and money. Broadband and electric are the main money squeezers.   For the moment, I have reduced my radio shows to once a week, mainly on Monday or a Wednesday. The video content at the moment, is the, Sunday Vlog series.  This is slowly growing through Twitter promotion. YouTube, as yet to roll out the new subscriber update system on YouTube pages 100%  The radio and video content, will always be a hobbie and it does not generate money.  If  it did, it would be sustainable and woul...
