This week, getting out there again and talking to musical types. Interview with Syd Arthur. The Brit Awards and why pop music has become so “safe”. Fearne Cotton names her baby Rex, future therapy sessions bundled into birthing package, 6 music polish off news of Pistorius with Hendrix’s Hey Joe. DJs need to know what they are playing, they really do. People say the BBC does not make make good use of license fee money, they should look at Norwegian TV, who show a fire burning for 12 hours, with advice on how to chop and stack wood. Bargain.

This week, bored, but getting back into the swing of things with more music than podcasts and some news gathering. HMV Stores to close, making our High Streets even more desolate. My first London Gig venue, the Bull and Gate to close as a music venue, making the live music scene here more desolate. See where I’m coming from? The departure of Robin Sachs, and The creation of the DarkCompass DeadPool, who wants in?, and one luck german wins a €10,000 iTunes Voucher for downloading the 25 billionth tune. What can you buy with that, everything?

A return to normal, This being a new and improved enhanced podcast, who would of thought you’ve been getting old and inferior mp3s over the past 8 years (which you can still get by the way). My wish for a Tardis comes true, and a great break up in North Wales, listening to great free music including a great compilation courtesy of AF Music – Download Here. Always good to hear Carl Sagans Voice.
