Cheese Please Mister Wheeze (mp3)

An electro wig-out with four types of cheese; 80s influences really showing here. Just a bit of fun, really, without trying to be too serious.

Warehouse squatter war story

I lived in a warehouse squat in the 80s. It was [. . .] in Woolloomooloo. When I moved in, [. . .] there were about 8 people in a huge three level space. We each had a wing of the place to ourselves. [. . .] What ended up happening was a full out territory war, with people annexing new spaces at two o'clock in the morning, internecine warfare, bitchiness, and backstabbing to the point of occasional physical violence.

Tim Bray on podcasting - "I still think the killer app is music"

Tim Bray comments on podcasting - a very interesting read. For one he pays out on Adam Curry (one of the two big cheeses of podcasting), but the meat of the piece is that Tim think that the killer app for podcasting is still music. Being a music podcaster, I completely agree with him. And when Tim says "So I’m still waiting for musicians to start podcasting to route around the wasteland of commercial music radio," he should note that some of us already are! Yes it's damn easy now as plenty of blogging software supports the necessary RSS tag, and the potential listenership is definitely growing.

(Tim should note however, before he goes too far into podcasting, that using music without permission in your podcast - even as 'background music' - still breaches several copyrights in the recorded work. DAC Cromwell's label, Magnatunes, even has an easy 'licence this music' link off their artists' pages).
