I also use the like feature even though some people don't check to see who has liked their tweets that often I think they'll get a nice surprise when they do.

In this new landscape, I miss the shared experience. The on-demand experience is great for those who can’t work with schedules or prefer the freedom it provides but it lacks one key component is talking to your friends, family and colleagues about what you have watched – you have to check first if they’ve watched the same programme and if they haven’t yet then that’s it, the topic is unlikely to come up again

My hopes for the future are in true on the ground media journalism as exhibited for example by the use of Audio Boo in the reporting of the G20 protests http://blogs.journalism.co.uk/editors/tag/audioboo/

There is no security for us if our brothers and sisters in Palestine do not feel secure themselves.

May God help us all.

Respect out to you and Bryan for doing your part to help inform the world what is REALLY happening in Gaza today.

I won't have a chance to play with this now. I do have it playing in the background. Is there a way to choose a style or genre. I occasionally used iTunes for it's radio from other countries. Arabic stations for instance had some interesting music. Rap/Hip Hop was one I'd return to after adding to favorites.

I just posted a tune and see that you sent a welcome & what took so long … no excuse … I was late.

okay going to reply on Blip and pick another tune to share.

Talk to you soon.

krishna – yes, truly, the micro-bloggers take to it very easily

I also think that it gives me a little more of a connection to the other DJ’s as we are sharing something of our own likes and dislikes through the message we leave and the songs we choose.

And I enjoy your station – thanks Dean!

Sousa was certain that recorded music would ruin the interest in performed music. He was mistaken.

The artificial business/creativity distinction is not the dichotomy at play–as ever, the dichotomy is the individual’s expression, through arts, through scientific discovery, through personal action, versus the dehumanization which institutional control, whether corporate, government, gallery or what-have-you, can create. I favor individual action to create a sharing economy, in which we no longer view artists as antithetical to day to day life, but instead as integral. I see this as a process of shared experience. I don’t accept the hegemony of a “creative caste”, any more than I accept the hegemony of a “business caste”, when it comes to the potential for
exploration.

Thanks for writing interesting posts that make me think about what I think.

Already I feel some creative influence from watching your material….how I use it is my Creativity.

Creativity and Business? Speaking as a creative furniture maker for 25 years, I finally realized that (for me) there was no money in it, allot of Joy, fun exploration, excitement, but eventually without dosh…everything falls flat. This is only my personal experience, never have focused on money, never will, maybe to my peril.
And still I’m excited about each day.

Thanks for posting your creativity….inspiring!

“The windows of attention are shrinking as we stare more and more at screens, and less and less at the faces of individuals”

So true IMHO…..the antidote is focus, being so excited by creativity, by technology and the opportunity can blow one’s circuts, so to speak. gambatte ne.

Already I feel your creative influence… how I use this is my creativity….. watch, listen and allow…that’s how I get there!
Having spent 25 years as a creative furniture maker, I finally came to the realization, for me (and that’s only totally personal) that there was no money in it, maybe because many creatives do not focus on money.

Thanks heaps Man

This week has really bugged me with Memorial day approaching and the mess continuing. The hearings held on Energy and Oil have been interesting and maddening. The execs “on the hot seat” dodge and weave ….

4000 plus men and women in our Military have died. Faceless/countless Iraqis and Afghanis too. And almost in parallel the profits match these deaths … and these “men” feign ignorance/innocence when it comes to answering the simplest questioning.

Few articles I read were original (mostly newswire or from the newswire services), found none that took the time to analyze what is said, add up these numbers, check facts…

Yup sleep walking and ignorance might explain most. Fear? Maybe. Sometimes the answer was surprising, actually shocking. The energy Secretary was asked several questions, one about his own view … he had no opinion of his own. Asked about a energy swap … simple question … dumbfounded.

I hope you have a chance to (even briefly) watch these two hearings.

Thanks Deek

My name is simon london and i’ve just spent a very enjoyable half hour browsing your site.

Anyway the reason i’m posting is because I used to be a massive fan of your band Habit back in the day. the great thing about the internet is you can waste many happy hours looking for things you thought you lost so it was great to discover you were a former band member.

I just wondered whether you had a CD copy of the album i could beg, buy, borrow or steal – it was the soundtrack of my university days and now I only have a very stretched cassette copy as your original LP went walkies years ago.

I’d really like to use it as the soundtrack to a short film i’m going to make and show at a reunion for some university mates as we used to play the album non stop.

It would be great if you could help out – before I start looking on ebay and via some dodgy european sites for some back copies….

Anyway, best of luck with all your projects…hope to hear from you

Simon

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on corporate/commercial podcasting, and how you see that whole paradigm evolving, as more and more firms start using podcasting as a way to communicate with their customers and prospects.

Anyway, looking forward to seeing you at PCCUK…
